The Place for Workingmen.

The California board of trade has
adopted circular concerning the condi-
ton of the labor1ng classes in California
which will be sent East for distribution.
The circular recites that work is assured
all and that higher wages are paid them
than for the same character of work east
of the Rockies. The circulator also
states that the prosperity of the people
is attested by the fact that while ali
fornia has but one-fftieth of the popu-
lation of the United States, the people
have one-twentieth of the total savings
deposits.

colored non-union workmen at the Solar
iron works were arrested this morning
on charge of felonious shooting, pre-
ferred by Michael Kenny, the uncle of
the boy wounded III the collision

men last Saturday. The accused gave

SOME MORE FACTS.
is PUBLIS H Ed

AS yet the Marshal has done nothing
in the matter of the man H, who,
as stated before, is without doubt en-
gagged in importing girls into this coun-
try for immoral purposes. When spoken
to on the subject the other day, the
Marshal got quite angry; indeed, he was
indignant. He wanted to know what he
could do in the matter. The answer is,
traffic at once or else an indignant public
will take it in hand. Only a few days
ago young Portuguese girl made COM
plant to the police as to the treatment
received at the house of this man H.
There is also proof that money has been
sent to California to pay the passages OF
girls to this port, who, when they arrive
here, are deceived and dragged into
life Of shame to support demon who
ought to be tarred and feathered and
driven out of town. Fancy the indigna-
ton of one of our leading tradesmen
when, the other day, this man Il
entered his store with one of his latest
importations and introduced her as
Miss H, a niece of his, who had
come on short visit to the Islands.
Did ever anyone hear of such brazen
impudence?
From late San Francisco papers we
learn that a Chinaman has been SEN
fenced to ten years in the penitentiary
and fined $4,000 for importing
Chinese girls for immoral purposes.
Judge Hoffman, in delivering sentence,
said he could discern no mitigating cir
cumstances. The evidence disclosed the
strong presumption that the prisoner
had long pursued the business. 1t was ex-
asperating the way in which the prisoner
had been dipping the Court with perjury
besides engaging in miserable business,
and he (the judge intended to let all
people know who engage in such business
that they would receive condign pun
ishment.
The California press took up the mat
ter and one paper goes on to say that the
trade in Chinese women has received a
telling blow, and some progress in break
ing up the infamous traffic has been
made-not SO much, perhaps, as the
ardent lovers of freedom and morality
might wish.
Once more we urge upon the Marshal
to take immediate steps to put stop 10
this traffic, before it assumes larger pro-
portions.

a Wonderful Boy Pianist.

The sensation of the present musical
season in New York is the piano playing
of Josef Holman, boy nine years old.
His ability is something wonderful, and
enthusiasm is not confined to the mis-
cellaneous public, but is shared in by
musicians and expert judges, vino all
agree that the boy is musical marvel,
most remarkable genius and pianist
OF phenomenal powers. He has met
tests going to show the scope of his
musical knowledge with astonishing re-
suits, and has given the most surprising
illustrations OF his musical intelligence.
One well-known musician who has heard
him play both in public and private says
that nothing that has been said of him
adequately expresses his marvellous
genius. At the first rehearsal which he
had with the musicians at the Metropol-
itan Opera House prior to his first public
appearance in New York, the members
Of the orchestra were perfectly astounded
at his playing. They were still more so
when he stopped them in the middle of
q Beethoven sonata and directed Mr..
Neuendorf to tell the clarinet to play
more piano. He also told the we'll
known conductor how the time should
be beaten, as the orchestra was not
playing properly. It must have been
revelation to the musicians, who were all
eoloists,. To be reprimanded for their
work by child, however talented, nine
years of age.
