Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1888-01-28

The f3uui iaiiot Gootio,,o I,eld public
meeting at Preble Hall last week, at
which Mr.. G. s. Griffin presided, and
Mr., Daniel Lynch made the principal
speech. In opening Mr.. Lynch dis
claimed any particular powers as an ora
tor, but said that his energies were used
to spread the knowledge of the beauties
of Socialism among those of his class,
the workers, to the best of his ability.
He criticized the present loose system of
society adversely, and insisted that the
proper way to agitate for better system
was, not as some alleged labor reformers
seemed to think, by attacking results,
but to attack the causes OF the evils
which beset society to-day. He paid "A
glowing tribute to Socialism, saying that
to the workers it meant haven Of rest;
that it proposes that to the worker shall
be rendered the full value of his creation.
SOCIALISM," he continued, holds that no
man or set of men have right to de-
mand tribute in the shape of profit from
another's labor" He pictured the oper-
alton of the Socialist system in the dis
trbution of commodities, and contrasted
it with the present wasteful competitive
system, showing how the capitalist of
the North competed with those of the
South, and how the wage-slaves had to
suffer reduction in wages as a result.
Speaking of inventions, Mr.. Lynch said
'fSuppose number of men were engaged
in an employment requiring large
amount Of muscle, energy and involving
great fatigue. Suppose then one of them
contrived machine to do the work more
economically and with less strain upon
the human system, and when he had
completed the machine instead of using
it as a means of beneitting himself alone,
he turned it over to the whole company
of his fellow workers, or to the State, If
you please. to be used for the benefit of
all. That kind of competition we be-
lieve in--the competition of brain with
| muscle not the competition of man
against his fellow workmen; competition,
| not in the interest of one individual, but
in the interest of all" To the objection
that might be raised by the opponents
of co operation that there would be no
incentive for man to use his brains To
invent anything if he could not control
it, the speaker said that at the present
| time few inventors got the beneht OF
their inventions, and were often cheated
out of the credit, even, of having invent
ed them. "Besides," said he, "a genius
will be genius under all circumstances,
and what is in his head is bound to come
out some time" In closing his interest
ing remarks, Mr.. Lynch besought his
hearers to stand shoulder to shoulder in
the great work, and press forward toward
the victory which was sure to come.
Ten-minute speeches by Messrs. White,
Norris, Friede, Griffin, and others fol
lowed, in which they supported the
speaker of the evening.

The Only salvation for the
state.

\
| the following sensible views on the
water question:
| Never in the history OF Nevada
has there been such a dry season as
the present one. Water is short in
ever river in the State, and in many
of the valleys stockmen have 10
sink wells to procure water enough
for stock.
The water question, is, therefore,
becoming OF importance, and any
method suggested by which more
water can be obtained is eagerly
read by every rancher in the State
Senator Stewart has an approprIa-
ton bill under way TO survey and
find the best places in the country
between the Rocky and the Sierras
for storing water, and many indi-
| viduals are going to work privately
ON the artesian plan. As before
stated in this paper we believe
there are many places in the rivers
OF the State where reservoirs could
be built at q moderate expense,
that would save the water that goes
to waste and make many more
valuable ranches in the State.
There is a question whether the
State or Government should be the
proper ones to take hold of the en-
terprise, but it would be a good idea
for both to Go something towards
the work. There are rivers that
run through the State that head
outside OF tie State, but there could
be no objections made by any Out
siders to what work in the way OF
reservoir building should be doae
in this State. We believe that 1t is
the duty of the State 20 look after
the water question so far as she has
power, and have in our mind one
or two places where water could be
stored that would irrigate consider
able new country and give settlers
a chance to come in and find ard
make comfortable homes. One Of
these places is on the Carson river
and another is near tie head OF the |
West Walker river. In the latter !
there is splegdid reservoir site in |
in the canyon above where the
river enters Smiths Valley.
Enougl, could be stored by build |
ing a reservoir at this point to give
the raneliers in the Valley water
the year around and also irrigate
Ell sht or ten good sized new ranches.
The land is there and all that is nov
required to make more prosperous
homes is water. This may be said in
rega.d to storage OF water on the
Carson river.
There may be an argument raised
as TO appropriating money tor the
benefit of one section OF the country,
but we hold that appropriations are
made for the benefit of the most
number OF people. Ii it can be
shown that an appropriation can be
Ised to greater benefit on other riy-
,rs than the ones named, the work
should be done there. We believe
hat it is only matter OF time when
,ur rivers will be damemd to keep
he waste water that now runs off
very Fall and Spring, and if one
appropriation can be made for this
purpose, and it is shown that it will
o greatly increase the taxable
other appropriations will
ertainly be made for SUCH work,
nd 1t will not be long before the
eeple of the State will all be in a
condition and not growl
bout the taxes being high and
heir being robbed to make appro-
riations for water purposes.

Signor De Nino has made another collec-
ton Of the folk lore stories current in the
province Of Abruzzi. Among the fables are
quaint versions of some OF tho legends that
are the common property Of the whole world
The one about the creation Of animals in the
Garden Of Eden and the age Of man bears re-
pea'ing. After the animals were created, 50
the story runs, they thanked God and asked
him what their fate was 10 be- When they
learned that they were 10 labor and suffer for
twenty years they each prayed 10 live a
shorter time, and ten years were deducted in
the case Of the ass, the dog and the ape,
When man was created and learned that he
was % live but twenty years. he begged hard
for a hundred years and finally the Creator
gave him the thirty years that the animals
just named had refused SO il comes about
that mans first twenty years are his happy
ones then comes the ass ten years Of labor;
domestic cares and children in the next
period, the dogs ten yearr; duing the di-
vision that follows the children marry and
abandon their father, and in this way the
apes ten years eiapse. "After fifty" solilO-

THROWN UNDER A TRAIN.
Harvey Henline'S Narrow Escape from
Instant Death.

The people standing on the plat
form at the depot awaiting the az
rival of the Portland train this
morning, witnessed what was very
near a fearful tragedy. Harvey
Henline, son of the ferryman at
Stayton, was waiting to go to his
home in Stayton. He carried a
flour sack filled with clothing on
his shoulder. The freight train
from Portland had gotten through
switching and was heading into the
penitentiary switch, and Henline,
who is about eighteen years
of age, attempted to
get onto the front platform of the
caboose as it passed. He caught
hold of theplatform railing all right,
but the sack of clothing swinging
around, caused him to lose his bal
ance, and he was thrown between
the caboose and the next carin front.
He must have struck a rod, or some
thing, for he bounded back, and
lay lengthwise between the platform
and the car. -Four wheels of the
caboose grazed his back, literally
wearing his clothing out. c. H.
Monroe jumped to his assistance, and
after the caboose had passed, helped
the boy up on the platform. He
was then Strengthened up, and on
being asked if he was hurt,
answered in the negative. He was
very pale, though, and when he got
onto the passenger train a little
while afterward, complained that he
was very sick. He started for home,
and will likely recover. He will
probably know more about Il mov-
ing train hereafter. His escape
from instant death was verynarrow,
and those who witnessed the scene,
expected never to see him come out
alive.

This pleasing gentleman and his
troupe Of accomplished actors arriv-
ed in this city, overland, ON this
mornings train, and are stopping
at the Monroe house and Chemellete
hotel. A representative Of the jour-
NAL had the pleasure ofsitting next
to Mr.. Reed in the Monroe house
van coming from the train this
morning, and the eXclamations of
pleasure at seeing so beautiful a state
as Oregon, and so pretty a city as
Salem, were enough ofthemselves to
make one glad he lived in Oregon.
Mr.. Reed said he was simply sur
prised to see such a beautiful coun-
try, and that he never was better
pleased in any state. He said Or
egon had no reasons for taking Il
back seat on the account Of Caliior-
MIA. He said we had just as good a
country-and there is no use saying
anything about the climate, for such
a day as this could be beaten by no
country in the world-as could be
found.

tonight and he will deserveit, as he
is an excellent actor, has a meritori-
Gus play, and good support. Every
body should go.

Mr. Skinner, agent for the 0. q
T. r.. R., in talking with Il JOURNAL
reporter this morning, said that in
compliance with orders from Mr..
hoehler, he had measured the street
and grounds at Center street, but,
Irom his observation, he gave it as
his opinion that there was no room
there for a depot. The street from
Court street down is only go feet
wide, the actual width of the rail-
road company's right-of-way. No
Proposition has yet been made by
Mr.. KOehler to the board of trade,
and the general opinion yet is that

ground at present occupied, and

The only place where sufficient
loom can be found for the buildings

a recent Pittsburg dispatch says
"The Chronicle-Telegraph editori-
ally claims to have information of "a
bold scheme to control the republi-
can presidential nomination. The
plan is to stampede the convention
for Mr.. Blaine, with the expectation
that if he does refuse the nomina-
ton, his declination will not be re-
ceived until after the adjournment
of the convention. In this event the
national committee will be called
upon to name the man. The COM
mittee, it is claimed, is controlled by
those at the bottom Of the scheme,
men who were brought into politi-
cal prominence by their association
with Mr.. Blaine in previous cam
paigns. In fairness to the claim of
other eminent republicans who are
not candidates, if Mr.. Blaine will
accept the nomination, that gentle
man is urged to plainly reafiirm his
position before the convention assem-
bles.

FREEDOM FOR SNAKES.

Snakes are allowed free liberty in and upon
a Corean house. They usually live in burrows
in the mud under the tiles. These burrows
are doubtless used by the rats during the win
ter time and they are noticeahly absent dur
ing the summer, after the proper occupants
have thawed out The snakes doubtless make
it lively for the rats, but their principal food
is the eggs and young of the swallows, which
live under the caves One can always tell
wheh the snake is visible by the excited chat
tering of the birds Hundreds of them CON
gregate about where he may be summing him
self on the hot tiles, and jabbcr away at him
with all their might Others fly away and
enlist the services Of the impudent magpies,
who come screaming in their shriI tones and
give MIR. Snake Il sharp dig in some unpro-
tected part. The snake usually gets the worst
of the encounter and runs TO cover.
The people win not kill the snakes; they
have a superstition based on fear. They trace
it back TO n story concerning q man who
killed poisonous snake and afterward was
killed, together with his whole family, by the
mate Of the dead reptile The house snakes
are some three feet in length, fat, lazy and
practically harmless
One cannot help but note the absence of
cats in Corea, and as the rats become more
and more troublesome an occasional feline
serenade becomes an appreciated favor Cats
are sometimes kept, but they are seldom seen,
while dogs are everywhere and weasels are
not a rarity. The latter are always wild and
confne their raids mostly to chickens.
The cat is considered an uncanny animal
and never occupies the place it does in a
European household. The superstition con-
corning the cat is also traced back TO a story,
and is as harmful TO the descendants of the
hero (or heroine) of the story as it was bene-
fetal in the case of the snake.

1t is reported that once upon a time
farmer working in the field felt sense Of
vGcuity which frequent tightening of his
belt would not relieve. He went ON till he
could wait no longer, and from wondering
why his spouse had not brought him his GUS
tomary meal he worked himself up into
rage at her negligence. He decided to go
and investigate the matter, and ON the way
he took the precautioI of selecting a good
CLUB for any necessary use such as clubs may
be put to. Searching his house, he espied his
wife lying on n mat with her baby in her
arms apparently both asleep. "Ah hap he
cried "this is the way you loiter around
while l work in the field till my belly has
vanished. I'll teach you thing or two.n
With which he struck her a sound blow,
which only resulted in jolting the babe from
the breast and disclosing a drop Of blood
where milk should have been.
The enraged farmer was startled. He
forgot his anger as he saw that his little
family lay dead before him He went to ex-
aminng the apartment and under a chest he
found a lot Of blood and the half of a snake,
Titl u cat still eating at the living head and
upper portion of the body. The snakes head
still Jumped about and the fangs darted out,
keeping the cat busy TO keep out of the way
But the jumping head had struck the sleeping
mother and the deadly fangs had pierced her
flesh, sending the poisoned blood into the
nursing infant, killing them both Since
that time cats are not kept in the country
and are but seldom seen in the cities When
seen they appear wild and run as if afraid of
their lives-"H. N. Al in San Francisco
