DEATH OF SENATOR KILLER.

The death of United States Senator
John F. Miller, of California, removes
from the stage of public action one of its
most prominent figures Senator Miller
was a native of the State of Indiana, but
came of Virginia stock. He received an
academic education, and early chose the
law for his vocation. In early manhood
he came TO California and engaged actively
i'll his profession here. Filial duty and
love recalled him at the expiration of
about three years to his native State,
where he remained several years, and in
that time so won the esteem and confidence
of the people that he was honored with
high official trusts. These he resigned,
however, on the first note of alarm that
the Union was in danger from rebellious
assault, and as Colonel of the Twenty
ninth Indiana Volunteers was at once
placed in active service. During all the
long struggle he was foremost man, win
ming national attention by his sagaclty,
courage and patriotic devotion. He de-
clined high commission in the regular
army to return to California, the love for
which, inspired by his early residence
here, he had never lost. He was made
Collector of the Port of San Francisco and
filed that important Office to the entire
satisfaction of the people and the Govern
ment. He was a devoted Republican, and
was nominated three successive times as a
Presidential elector upon the Republican
ticket. He served with ability in the
Constitutional Convention of California, in
1879, and was elected to the United States
Senate for the term beginning March 4,
1851 Senator Miller's career has been
one in all its phases rejecting a
character based upon conscientious
devotion to duty, high moral con-
victions and upright conduct. 1t
cannot be said that he was a brilliant man.
but he was clear-sighted one, a cool
thinker, and one whose single aim was to
learn the right and do it, His loss will be
deplored throughout the State of Califor-
MA and lamented by the people of the
onion, in whose esteem and affections he
filled so large place. The State of Cali
foruia by his death loses Senator whose
prohity and dignity OF character reflected
honor upon the people, and the nation
loses one of its most gallant soldiers, whose
bravery and indomitable courage contrib
uted so largely to the salvation of once
lettering Union of the States of the Re
public.

labor at hand TO at once, or in any brief
time, supplant all the Chinese. Some of our
youths may be utilized to that end in even
the coming fruit season. But we have no
faith that any large number will be found
working in field or orchard. When white
labor fully occupies industrial fieldsour boys
and girls Of Is and 10 will be ranking as
men and women. Take the single instance
of domestic service. How few competent
white girls in California will come forward
to take the place Of Chinese domestics?
There is need to-day for three or four thou
sand such in the interior of California to
supplant the Chinese as house servants.
Time was when the farmers daughter, the
daughter of the town and city home,
deemed it not unbecoming to serve
few years Of her majority at housewifery
for wages. But that day never came
for California The Chinaman was here
with the earliest tide of immigration to
occupy the field of domestic service, and
for thirty years and more he has held it.
He should be, and will be, displaced but
we have no idea that it can be done
speedily, nor do we believe it will be ac-
complished by California youths. We
need for kitchen and general household
service several thousands Of white work
ers, but they are not at hand Whoever
assumes to believe that the supply of
cooks, for instance, is equal to the demand,
bellies his own convictions California
girls cannot supply the want from lack of
training and utter indisposition to take
the places. California men are pretty
much all in the same category There
must come in for this important branch of
industry large reinforcement to the pres
ent supply. While we do all that we may
lawfully to dispossess the Chinese of the
labor field, and exert ourselves to teach
our youth the necessity of the discipline
of labor, and the honorableness of it, let
us give earnest attention to organization to
secure the incoming of already skilled
household wage-winners, as well as others,
from the East. To do this will be directly
to assail, and legitimately, the stronghold
of the Chinese in California-and that is
found in domestic service.

THE QUESTION OF "HELP.v

Referring to the present movement
against the Chinese, the San Francisco
C4l says:
While there ere individual cases in which
employers Will be subjected TO some ineonveni-
ence, the public loss arising from such will be

place Of Chinese. There is probably not a
state in the L Mon of about the same popula-
ton as California in which so large proportion
OF the whole live in idleness BOYS aud girls
grow up without a thought of doing anything
ior their own support.
All which is very true. But if it is ex-
pected that the boys and girls of California
are TO take the places of the Chinese in the
hop-ields, the orchards, the vineyards and
the house, expectation will be doomed to
disappointment. That is one of the things
the Chinese evil has done for us; it has
demoralized the industrial sentiment of
the people. True, the neglect of parents.
our fast and false methods of living, the
struggle for genteel positions the diff
Guilty of getting apprentices into the
trades, the limitation put upon labor by
machinerv-all these have contributed to
make the rising generation one of non
workers. But quite as much has the pres
enee of the Chinese contributed to a like
result. They have made it "disreputable.

Is false and unreasonable, but ii remains
true that very large majority of white
youths entertain the idea that they have
descended to the lower level of the social
scale, If they undertake hard labor for
livelihood, that has heretofore been per-
formed by Cinnamon. Chinese labor. in
short, is whitening influence, and il has
done for California youth precisely what
slave labor did for Southern youth-is has
debased it. OF course this sentiment OF
the disreputableness of manual labor can
not endure. Our youths must go to work
and the first thing to be done to secure
that end is to cut off the Chinese labor
supply by rigid restriction, and then. as
rapidly as can be done consistently with
the condition and preservation of cur in

High License in Utah.


J. B. Hopkins, prominent merchant o.
Ogden, who is in the city, was asked yes.
terday by representative of the RECORD.
UNION as to the operations of high license
in Utah. He replied: 1.-THE license upon
saloons and retail bars is 5000 per year. O,
S75 per month, think, in nearly all the
counties of the Territory l know OF but
one county in which it is less and that is
Davis county, where it is $500 per
year. All drug stores and other
establishments where drinks are sold over
bar have to pay the same. The license is
payable and collected quarterly, in advance
and payment is strictly enforced. The IL
cense in the city OF Ogden is the same-s75
per month. and is regarded with entire
favor by the business public, and / may
say by everybody, except the
saloon men. OF course they would
like TO have the rate reduced, or
taken off entirely. l see that you
not only have low license here, but no regu-
iatlen as to hours of SALE In addition to
the SO per month with us, no liquor is al
lowed to be sold, nor saloons to be open
after II o'clock at night nor before clock
IN the morning, nor upon Sundays. A
violation OF these regulations-either sales,
or saloon found open outside of hours
named, or upon Sunday-will subject the
offenders to heavy penalty"
Upon being asked what the result was
upon business when the high license was
first imposed, he replied: Il cannot tell
you, for have only been in the Territory
about six years. and it was $50 per month
when | first came there, and so continued
until between two or three years since.
when it was regarded too low for public
good, and was raised to the present
amount. This rate has been maintained
now over two years, and there is no dam
ger of its being reduced. The tendency
will be to raise it still higher, rather than
to make it lower again. This is not from
temperance sentiment. The present rate
was fixed by the City Council without any
petition or request from any one to raise
from the previous price, and against the
most vigorous protest of the liquor men.
The Council based its action upon expert
ence under the previous rate of $50 per
month 1t was done for governmental and
economic reasons, and without the least
thought of a purpose in the interest of tenn

A short time since E. A. Mount, of Te-
hama county, sent some suspicious looking
eggs upon a twig to Matthew Cooke for his
inspection. The following is his reply:
Yours of the 18th ultimo at hand but
illness prevented an earlier reply. The
specimens on the twig you send are the
eggs of the katydid, one of our large grass
hoppers-or at least, one of the grasshopper
family They live on the leaves of fruit
trees and vines, but are so scarce they will
not be likely to do much damage for years
to come. They do not touch the fruit.
The katydids are common in the East, and
make peculiar noise at night, as Katy
did, =. katy-didn't," etc.

Hardest Work of the Year

1t is now the timeof the year when
the hardest work of the farmer is be-

winter!" exclaimed some astonished
reader. Exactly, the hardest work,
for it is severe brain-work. Now is
the time for planning for the work Of
the year and getting everything in
readiness to do everything that is to
be done Systematically and well. 1t
is the time when the intelligent far
mer reads and studies. If he has an
untried theory, he tries to find out
whether or not some other person has
put it to the test of practice, and if 80,
with what results. If he wants to do
certain thing and doesn't know
how to do it, there are books and pa
pers by the score to give him the

ject. Nine times out of ten the sue

Among Mr.. Beecher's gossip as a
home returning traveller is the inter-

taken the British market for cheese
right over the famous home product.
The mayor of Brighton, who is in
the dairy product business, said to
him: "American cheese is the only
reliable article. We are never GER

ceive thousands of tons of cheese from
America" They are only just be-

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-

organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present., flatulency, I'M
easiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-

The Social Needs of Life.

Somerville Journal.
Men make mistake who fail to
cultivate the social side of their ma
ture, The man who allows himself
to be entirely engrossed by the cares
of business and neglects the society
of his fellow men attains only a one
sided development, and comes to feel
with advancing years that he missed
something that would tend to make
his mind more rounded and COM
plete. A proper use of the advanta-
ges which social organization gives
cannot fail to result in good. Men
meeting their fellow-men in the So
cial atmosphere have their ideas
broadened their minds relaxed and
their characters cultivated in many
ways.

Courage.

Courage is frequently thought to be
simply the absence Of fear. Yet, if
there were no fear, there would be no
room for courage. If we did not fear
the water or the fire, no courge
would be required to plunge into
them to save fellow-creature from
destruction. If child had no fear
of the dark, we should not appeal to
his courage to face it. Fear has an
important mission to perform for us
that of warning against danger
and it ought to continue as long
as danger or evil of any kind contin-
ues to threaten us. When its pres
ence is felt, however, two courses are
open to us--the one to shrink, or
yield, or run away, the other to face
the danger, whatever it may be with
steadiness, resolution and strength.
The one is the path of cowardice, the
other of courage, and the greater the
fear the more sublime is that courage
which can stand firm in Its presence
and unshrinkingly pursue the path
of duty.
