cause they are more vicious, illiterate
and dishonest than many other people
who came from the eastern continent
and find federation and protection
here. The assaults BY violence on the
Chinese have been frecIenta few years
past. Only few.days ago large num-
bers of these people were driven from
their homes in Oregon, and forced on
board vessels, to be trans ported out of
the jurisdiction of the United States.
It's charged that this late assault on
the Chinese was instigated by MEM
bers Of that powerful organization call
ed the knights of Labor. This organ
ization has, we believe. enjoyed the
sympathy and goodwill of many of
our citizens; but when it comes to be
understood the Knights of Labor are
disposed To accompli ISL what they ask
by resort to brute force, instead Oh

will meet ultimate defeat in any civil
lized country. Persecution of the
Chinese is in conflict with the genius
of our American institutions, and every
additional attempt to drive them from
this country will react in their favor.
The result of unjustifiable persecu-
ton Of any class of people is illustrated
in the case of the Salvation Army.
This is class of religious enthusiasts
of whom we know very little. except
their numbers appear to be on the in
crease. Readers Of the current news
of the day know thai The Salyationists
have been the objects of arrest and
brought into court on the charge. of

been much prosecuted. Public opinion
in the city of Elgin in respect to these
people has become much cha nged
Those who at first were unfriendly
to tire presence of the Salvati0nists, an &
regarded the indignities offered them
not of much account, are now in
many instances their friends and pro
tectors. Some of the most respectable
citizens of Elgin, it is stat ed, now de
fend the Salvationists against their en-,
emies, and regard their treatment az
more of religious persecution than
for other cause. Without intending
any approval or justification of the
Salvation Army, for we have no means
of passing an opinion on them, their
case is instanced to illustrate that per
secution more often helps the persecut
ed than it does them harm.

CALIFORNIA EXCURSION,

Snow to the front, to the rear, to the
right, to the left, and snow everywhere.
Seldom, if ever, during any winter in
the history of the country so many ex-
cursion trains blockaded, delayed and
interfered with as during the winter
of this year. Destinations of travel
that were expected to be reached in a
few days were delayed more than as
many weeks. The party of excursion
lists which was noticed in this paper to
leave Chicago for California a few
weeks ago left Chicago on the 18th of
January, with seven Pullman sleeping
cars and $50 passengers, many of
whom were from Wisconsin, taking the
Southern Pacific route. A correspond
ent Of one of the excursionists for a
Milwaukee paper describes the pro-
gress of the party:
"On reaching Kansas City report
came that all western Kansas was in a
state of siege, the snow blockade being
supreme. After waiting thirty hours,
it was determined to attempt to force
the barriers, and on the sixth day out
Las Vegas, N. NJ, was reached. On
account Of sand storms, wrecked cars
and snow blockades. it was four days
more before the California state line
was reached. Then it was found that
the roads in southern California were
in q bad condition from washouts.
When within few miles of their des-
tination, Los Angeles, the excursion
lists were notified that the only way to
reach it was by riding 400 miles to
San Francisco. then taking sea voy-
age southwark to San Diego, of three
days and nights, and then day by
rail to Los Angeles.

Labor strikes have been more than
usually common the past week. The
different labor organizations seem to
be agitated and seek to better their
condition by refusing to work at pres
ent prices and demand higher wages.
The discontinued laborers are increas.
ing in number, andadding strength to
the existing organizations by joining
them. The danger is in cities and
manufacturing towns that these CON-
binations will have the controlling
power and set the laws at defiance. 1t
may be said laboring men, as a class,
are not so ViciOusly inclined as to anti
cipate open resistance to good order
from them. 1t is true the great body
of workingmen are law-abiding and
orderly, but it often happens that those
whom they acknowledge as their lead

prevailing opinion of the best public
journals of the day, both religious and
political, that the labor question is the
most threatening danger to the peace
and safety of the country.

A resolution was passed, declaring it
reasonable that railroads should fur

G. S. Albee, President of the State
Normal School at Oshkosh, it will be
remembered, was many years Princi.
pal of the Kenosha High School. Here
he acquired reputation of Iare tact
and ability as a teacher. After leav-
ing here he was given situation as
an Instructor in the State Normal
School, from which position he was
promoted to the Office of President OF
that institution. President Albee has
been in poor health for months pas t
and has been spending considerable
time at Battle Creek Sanitarium, but
without material benefit, Some of
the papers suggest that in considera-
ton of the long and valuable services
which President Albee has rendered
the state it would be just recog-
milton of the good work he has accom-
phshed to grant him a years vacation
for the recovery of his health with
full salary, His present i'll health is
conceded to be the result of Overwork
in the Normal School. This sugges-
ton no doubt will meet the approval
OF the friends of education in this part
Of the state, where President Albee is
well known.

II you want your plants to thrive
wash the dust off the leaves every
week or two with soft cloth or
small sponge, and add little ammo
MIA occasionally to the water you
pour about the roots.
Don't keep a growing girl or boy
sitting YEARLY in a stiff position to
practice music an hour or two at a
time. 1t is bad for the health, and
particularly bad for girls at that age
Better fifteen minutes of good faith
full practice twice day than two
hours of dull. listless. dragged-out
humping.
1t is difficult for a mother to keep
her boys from acquiring taste for
liquors or tobacco, if the father in
dulges in them. We advise such to
get good school Physiology, and in
connection with this study some
SEMITIC work which teaches plainly
and exactly the effects of these poi
sons on the body and mind. Get
books thslthave plenty of cuts to ap-
peal to the eye, and study them
carefully with your children.
Never reprimand a child in the
presence of others 1t may shame
and mortify him for few times, but
he will soon become hardened; and
a hardened child is about as good
as lost from the standpoint in which
you view him. And, another thing,
it is disastrous for one parent to
criticise the method Of other parents
in dealing with child, in the pres
ence of the child himself Reserve
such matters for private and kind
consideration.
Bring up the girls to an active,
outdoor life, if you would regenerate
the sickly race of American women
if you would save them from the
terrible suffering so many of you
know only too we'll. Encourage them
to cultivate flowers and fine vegeta-
bles, and set them the example of
open air exercise yourselves. Urge
them to engage in open air sports,
if it does tan them and postpone
their embroidery. No danger of
their becoming rough, if they have
refined and pure minded companions.

West Virginia Tobacco.

Intelligeneer.
West Virginia lumber, West Vir-
ginia wool, West Virginia coal, West
Virginia nails, are known far and
wide. The Importance of West vir
ginia as tobacco growing State is
not, however, generally known. Said
local dealer to an Intelligencer re-
porter the other day: "Do you know
that the best bright tobacco grown
on this continent is raised in this
State?
The reporter, taken by surprise,
admitted he did not.
Here are some facts that may
interest you," said the dealer, and
he showed a copy of the Western
Tobacco Journal. A correspondent
of that journal sets up the claim
that Fayette county, W. Va, all
things considered, has no superior in
the United States for the production
of tobacco, and that, too of the finest
and best qualities. TO establish
this claim he quotes from market
quotations for other bright tobaccos,
and gives some sales of last years
crop by Fayette growers. Maryland
tobacco, fancy grade, is quoted at
$l1 to Sl4 per hundred pounds; Ohio
best $ll to $ls; Kentucky, choice,
$40 to $l2; Virginia, selected lots
$40 to $l5; Wisconsin Havana
$40 to II.
The hue-curcd crop of Fayette
county, now being sold, will average
nearer $40 than any other figures.
One or two crops went at from$26 to
1927, and one crop made an average
of nearly $500 Fayette growers raise
of such tobacco from 800 to 1,200
pounds per acre.
A firm of Richmond dealers sent
the following; The Exchange auction
books show January II, 1856 J. S.
Hawkins crop of five packages of
tobacco from Oak Hill, Fayette
county, as bringing the following
prices. No. 3 at $3.50 to Allen d
Ginter; No. l at $3.50 to w. H.
Jones; No. 4 at $500 to Straus Il
Raab; No. 2 at $4,000 to Straus d
Raab; No. 5 at $500 to j. B. Pace
Company, and averaged 1880 crop
round.
This comparison of figures must
strike the average reader very hard.
West Virginia is small State, but
she has some strong points.

1t is often said that Mormonism,
IS a religious belief. would be harm
less except for polygamy. Nothing
could be more unwise than to admit
that. Ii is Mormonism itself, the I'M
ion of church and state, the i'm
piled treason that will not rush to
arms while it is allowed to flourish
in little feudal despotism of its
own, the secret power which cares
nothing for polygamy except as it
believes polygamy may be weapon
in its hands,-it is Mormonism itself
that is to be hated, to be feared, to
be crushed. Show the Mormon that
that the other, deeper, subtler aims
he has at heart cannot, must not,
shall not be endured, and he will drop
his polygamy before you ask him to.
Horrible as they are, Mormonism
and polygamy have their supremely
ridiculous aspects, and it is part of
the supremacy ridiculous that no man
can possibly enjoy polygamy. If he
practises it, it is to further other aims.
In community where he is bound
to cherish" all his wives, outwardly
at least, and to provide for them all,
where he cannot take refuge from the
scold in the arms of the favorite,
where he must appear on the appoin-
ted day at the door of the poor house
keeper as faithfully as on the other
day at the table of the excellent cook,
it may safely be presumed that polyg-
amy brings its own penalties with it
and would only be endured to secure
another object. 1t has been wittily
said that, with railway through
Utah, and Gentle ladies in Salt
Lake City, the milliner and dress
maker can be trusted to work the
much desired reform; and there is
Judgment, as well as wit, in the say
ing. Few men can afford to have a
dozen wives and forty children to be
supported in equal comfort and lux
