NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Somehow the doctrine of protection
as professed by the employers of labor
in America does not square with their
practice. In California the iron
workers, clerks, and sailors in the
coasting trade, have been forced to
strike to resist reductions in their
wages. Every employer in the
United States is " protected" more or
less against foreign competition, but
inasmuch as they cannot be protected
against domestic competition, they
resort to the device of lowering wages,
so that by cheapening production
they may equalize profits. If they did
not base their adhesion to a high tar
iff upon the necessity for keeping up
the rates of pay one would not have
word to say; but they should not
blow hot and cold with the same
breath. The worldwould be far more
prosperous and happy were there uni
versal free trade, but that is not to be
thought of, at least in the present cen
fury.
1t is gratifying to perceive that the
American authorities are fully alive
to the Importance of keeping up the
direct connection with the British
Colonies of the South Seas. The CO.
lonial mail by the Zealandia which ar
rived at San Francisco February 22d,
two days ahead of time, was sent
across the continent by "special,"
arriving in New York the following
Saturday evening at 10 o'clock. The
Britannia was held for the mail, and
sailed the same night. She arrived
in London after a run of 102 days,
3S1 days from Sydney. This was
very rapid transit, the time ordinarily
consumed being seldom less than AZ
days. The New York Nautical Ga
zette, commenting ON these facts,
said "This statement is one which
we trust will show the British Postal
authorities that we know how to eX-
pedite the mails and prick their con-
sciences a little, so that they may do
to us as we do by Them"
General Grants physical condition
has not improved, but his mental re-
pose has been assured by the passage
of the bill restoring him to his COM
mission to the army. He now ranks
General Sherman, which is a serious
setback to "Old Tecumseh." Every
one will be delighted at this, for with
all his faults as man Grant is a far
greater favOrite with the people than
Sherman. His faults all lean to vir-
tues side, whereas Sherman is as cold
as an iceberg and so utterly selfish
that he thinks of no one but himself
It is well known that he opposed
Grants restoration to his army rank
through jealousy of the latter's posi-
ton, although he was quite willing to
pass around the hat and collect pen
MES for Belisarius. All the Sher-
mans, however, are tarred with the
same brush. There is not a whole
souled man among them.

Mr.. Jules Tavernier has finished charm
ing water color sketch of a little maiden
standing in tangle of wild conyolulus and
towering shrubs that fill the widening fore
ground of a narrow valley, whose steep, en-
closing walls rise on either side. The middle
distance takes on a veil of haze, while in the
background lofty blue peaks show grandly
against a softly clouded sky. The sketch
was painted for a well-known lover of art In
this city, and is intended for birthday gift
to a near and dear relative.

ODDS AND ENDS.

The true inwardness of President Cleye-
lands inaugural allusion to simplicity of
living is now apparent. He breakfasts at
eight in the morning and then goes to
work in his shirt-sleeves, while his sister,
"the first lady in the land" supervises
the house bills and orders the lemonade
for the EVENINGS official dinner.i From
her seventh heaven of an Ohio chicken
ranch, the sainted Mrs. Hayes looks
down and smiles.
The spring crop of defaulters is now
being harvested and the yield is greater
than ever before. Pretty nearly all of us
are now embezzling in various ways and
having a real good time on our dishonest
gains, When detected we generally go to
Honolulu.
Speaking of charlottesville. D. III.
Burns, sometime Secretary of State at
Sacramento, is now undergoing trial there
for 90 shortage" of some $4,000. He
sayssit was all stolen by his Deputy, 7.
H. Reyn olds, but it doesn't lsok that way
as far as the case has gone. Mr.. Burns
is possibly not unknown in Honolulu.
The people of San Francisco have not
made such JohDdonkeys of themselves
about Patti this time as they did year
ago, though she has sung to full houses
and the receipts have been large. OF
course the newspapers have been wildly
enthusiastic over the fourth-rate artists
who accompany her. Mapleson has told
the critics that all his people are stars,
and they believe his tongue in preference
TO their own ears, although the latter are
much the larger organs. Emma Nevada
has been " confined to her back " with a
lame throat ever since she got a lungful
of our glorious climate, and has not sung
a note. She is California girl, and it is
said that her European training has not
destroyed the free, western breeziness of
her manner and speech. For example,
an old friend called at her hotel, the other
day, and sent up a civil inquiry as to how
she was. She simply turned his card and
wrote across the back of it Sicker'n
horse" Such simple naturainess in a
great artist Is lneXpreSsIYely winning.
The Sharon litigation has assumed so
many shapes in so many Courts that even
the parties TO it can no longer keep track
of it. The case in the United States
Circuit Court in which Sharon is plaintiff
and AIthea defendant, will cover the same
ground as the one already decided by
Judge Sullivan, and if a different result
is reached, why--there you are Althea's
libel suit against the Alta has been with
drawn at her cost, but she is prosecuting
Nelson for embezzl ement as hard as she
can. Sharon swears that he will go to
jail rather than pay the alimony and
counsel fees taxed against him, and Al
thea's lawyers swear that he shall. This
is the first substantial agreement that has
been reached.

Col. Flournoy, one Of plaintiffs counsel
In the Sharon case, wanted to be Secre-
tary of the Interior. One of the most
pleasing incidents of the struggle was the
formal appointment by the County Com
mittee of San Francisco of a commission
composed of three distinguished members
OF their illustrious body to go TO Wash
iugtcu, their duly accredited advisers to
the President, and the first official act of
this high triumvirate was to telegraph that
gentleman not to make any appointments
till. he could illuminate his mind with
their views as to the proper persons to
| appoint 1t is not known if Cleveland
| answered the dispatch, but at any rate his
advisers have gone to Washington to in
form him that three of the persons mem
| toned in it are themselves.
THE INAUGURATION CEREMONY.
The " Inauguration of the new Presi-
dent seems TO have been unmarked by any
notable incident, but the newspapers have
not yet done talking, with evident aston
| ishment, about the moral grandeur of the
event, though without in all cases making
| it entirely clear what the grandeur con-
sisted in. They appear to think that
" change of rulers in " a nation of
( sixty millions of people" might naturally
| be expected to entail a desOlating war,
and be accompanied by some exception
ably stupendous CONFUSION Of nature"
Another thing that has engaged their
marveling admiration is the elevated tone
of Mr.. Clevelands inaugural address.
One would think that it had been GUS
tonlary to defle such documents with
sentiments of the ooarsest and basest
character. Mr.. Arthur's action in "sur-
rendering his high Office to his constitu-
tional successor is also sincerely COM
mended as a spectacle whose moral
grandeur is hardly inferior to that of Mr..
| Cleveland in {" accepting the great trust"
but really when one comes to think of it,
there was not much else that Mr.. Arthur
could safely and conveniently do. 1t is
painful to have to add that his exit was
marked by certain incidents which it re-
quires a very reverent imagination in
deed to invest with grandeur. For ex-
ample, he passed the very last hours of
his term in signing United States patents
to several hundred thousand acres of
public lands to which the patentees had
no shadow of right in law or equity, For
this, his Secretary of the Interior, Mr..
Teller, has been sharply called to ae-
count in the Senate, of which body he is
now q member, but has explained Jap
parently to everybody's satisfaction that
such things are customary-as indeed
they are.

a call day or two since from Mr.
VIM. Polk, Jr., and Mr.. Murray
Ferris, of Glencoe, St. Mary parish
MIR. Ferris is in the sugar refining
business at Glencoe, but we learn
he is also devoting considerable at
tention to the introduction and Gull
tivation of ramie, which has attrac-
ted so much notice since the OPEN
ing of the Exposition. Mr.. Ferris
showed us stalks of ramie, grown
in Louisiana this season, cutting 4
feet long before the 25th of May;
also specimens of the fibre as it is
first broken and decorticated, and
the fibre in all the different process
es of cleaning-the last result be-
ing yarn apparently as fine as
silk, pure white and with a beauti-
fal lustre. We saw also specimens
of goods made in France from pure
ramie, damask table cloth, furni-
ture covering, plush and dress
goods not distipguishable from silk.
There are only q few of the goods
into which ramie is now converted
in Europe, the supply coming from
China where a four days production
of one hand is two pounds of clean
ed fibre. Mr.. Ferris is growing
Ramie in St. Mary parish and from
reliable data he estimates that three
crops can be cut in a season in
Louisiana, each crop yielding about
1900 pounds of cleaned fibre to
the acre.
There were on exhibition at the
Exposition some FIVE or six ma
chimes all claiming to have solved
the problem after which inventors
have been cropping for rs years, of
decorticating ramie and other fibres
economically.
One Of these machines certainly
complies with the conditions, clean
ing 900 pounds an hour or over 4
tons a day, with the labor of two
men and one boy. This at only
five cents per pound for the crude
fibre baled up at which price par
ties in New York are offering to
contract ahead for all they can get,
would realize gross one hundred
and eighty dollars an acre-and as
the plant is perennial, never needs
replanting, spreads very rapidly
and does not appear to be subject
to the vicissitudes of most crops,
and the expense cultivation, har-
vesting and preparing for market is
less than cane or cotton, it would
seem within the bounds of PROBABLE
ity that in the near future ranie
will be extensively planted, and
yield an income of 500 an acre.
Mr.. Ferris adds that he will be
glad, at any time, to furnish any
information he may be possessed of
in regard to this matter to any one
with him.
