Withdrew, whose duty it had been to
put the paper to press, was the only
one in the Office who was competent to
take his place. To illustrate my point
in different way, one Of my
associates was boy named Lyons,
whose father was comparatively we'll
off in those days, owning several
houses in Hartford and being worth
something like 100000 or 100000.
The prospect that some time in his
life he would inherit goodly portion
of this sum made him utterly indifer-
ent as to. his success in life and care
less of any work that he might have
in hand. He was continually crying
that il was no use for him
to do any hing; that he would
have enough money to live on
any way. Now, you can readily see
that if the boy had been told by his
father that at the end of a certain
number Of years he would give him
certain amount of money and set him
up in business if he would in the
meantime fit himself to carry on busi-
ness affairs, why a motive and an
incentive for work would have been
supplied which would have had a very
excellent effect upon that young
mans character. With this incentive
absent, he of course drifted on from
year to year in the Indifferent state of
mind which have described.
"There is another aspect of this
subject which perhaps deserves pass
ing mention. Human nature is
human nature all over the world. |
do not think that my boys are very
different from other boys, and
wouldn't have them for one moment
tempted to say that after a few years
they will have more property than
they have now, and will be able to
carry out plans that at the present
time they find impossible to entertain.
Why should they not form those plans
and carry them out now? 1t does not
seem wise nor kind to me for a
rich man to hold on to his money
when eager young spirits are around
him anxious to huild for the future,
without the material to do SO. l be-
lieve, of course, in father retaining
a competency for himself, and l need
scarcely say that 1 have done that,
but when the invigsrating effect of an
independent position, with the re-
sponsibilities involved, is considered,
l do not know how any sensible father
can hesitate as to what he
should do. Why, l can see that
since 1 made over the Ledger to
my three boys, and they have gone
into the work of extending and ad-
vertising that property, they have had
more vim, energy and snap than I
ever knew them to possess before.
Nobody can be blind to such facts for
one moment, and it is because 1 have
come to the deliberate conclusion that
independence of the kind 1 have
spoken of makes better sons, better
men, and better citizens, that I have
made my three boys the present that
I did the other day. IN. Y. World.

LATTER DAY SAINTS
Meet In General Conference Mt
Opera Hail.

The Latter Day Saints OF Southern
California met in Conference yester-
day morning in the A. o. U. w. Hall,
and will continue in session until
Sunday evening. The meeting was
called to order by H. G. So ith, Presi-
dent of the California Mission, who
made short address Of welcome.
Elder D. S. Mills also delivered an
address and alluded to the changes
wrought since the society first organ
lied. Owing to the absence of the
secretary, the roll was not called, and
f. L. Kelly was elected Secretary pro
tenn. The congregation then sang for
the opening hymn, 30 Reaper of
Life's Harvest" which was followed
by prayer by Elder E. L. Kelly.
After the devotional exercises the
President announced that the order of
the day would be the hearing of re-
ports from the representatives of the
different branches present.

ANAHEIM'S FRUIT CANNERY
What 1t Would Cost to start such
an Enterprise.

Not quite yet, reader, but that is
what we hope to see before many
months. Our correspondents both at
Garden Grove and Fullerton report
that canneries are to be started at each
place-one three miles on one side Of
us, the other five miles distant on the
other. Each is the center tor small
fiuit-growing sections where Ana
helm, we again affirm, is the
natural center for much larger
section, including both Of these. Will
you, gentlemen capitalists OF Anaheim,
allow either of these to build and oper-
ate can cries, sending abroad through
the East and other counties the fruit
grown in this whole section, as Gar
den Grove or Fullerton fruit, when it
should be, and probably could be, all
branded and shipped as the product
of Anaheim? Why should the COM
mercial center be shifted from where
it now is-the geographical center of
the whole section above referred to?
But there are other reasons beside
those of advertising the old town and
keeping these enterprises where they
belong naturally. 1t is said to be an
immensely profitable business, return
ing to individual owners Or TO share
holders in a joint-stook concern a
good dividend as the profits resulting
from it. Then it would furnish en-
pIoyment to quite little army Of
both skilled and common laborers-
not Cinnamon, we would hope, but
white men and women, and even
some of our boys and girls. Why
not? Is honest labor degrading? Is
it better for girls to remain idle at
home, and for boys to spend their
time on street-corners or in saloons ?
The work of receiving, sorting and
preparing fruits in their season is not
for the greater part laborious, and at
piecework women and young people
could soon make good day wages,
while reserving time for necessary do
mestic duties.
Manufacturing makes the prosperi.
ty and wealth of towns, and these
busy hands are those which would
pay you rent for your houses or buy
them of your building asso 'iations,
purchase your goods and patronize all
the different kinds of business we now
have and create needs for others.
What would it cost to start such
an enterprise here? Anywhere from
So, 900 to $1,000, exclusive of site, but
including good and commodious
building. Probably the lesser sum
would be sufficient if Mr.. Benner-
scheidt contracted to furnish the cans
and some wood-worker the packing
cases. The San Bernardino Times,
not long ago, published this table of
estimates for the cost of the estab-
lishment, which would have capac-

DTNnD ON CROW.

question: In conversation one da V

that in case of Clevelands success
the Repu blicans were to dine on

AN EGREGIOUS LIE

The republican orators and camo
paiguers proclaimed a most eyre
gious lie when they represented to
the laboring men that the demo-
cratic party is free-trade party.
The party never has so declared in
a single platform lis representa-
tive leaders, its men of brain, have
never uttered sen timents Of that
kind. A few narrow-minded, one
dead men Of some local celebrity
may have declared themselves for
free. trade on the street corners or
IN some county convention, but
1ree.trade expressions coming from
individuals like these, is in no wise
indicative of party sentiments
Henry Watterson is the only man
IN the party Of any prominence
with free-trade tendencies, and he
has never been allowed to shape a
party platform. The democratic
party is for tariff reform. We pro,
pose to reduce the tariff only 10
per cent by the Mills bill, or from
an average Of AZ cents to 40 cents.
Does this smack Of free trade? We
think not. And the republica MS
knew they were publishing a bald
faced perversion of the facts when
hey sounded in their newspaper s
and echoed it from the stump thai
we are for free-trade' In their sti !
hunt among the laboring men they
whispered the same lie. No SIR;
we are for tariff reform, and It is a
living question that will not down.
1t is as certain to win as day follows
night.

Horses in Battle.

War horses, when hit in battle,

rounding themselves with a circle
of bare ground, the limited extent
of which showed their weakness.
