French Flower Girls.

Several thousand girls in New York
are employed by the manufacturers of
artificial flowers. The factories cluster
thick in the old French quarter of
West Blocker and Houston streets,
and hundreds Of pretty girls trip to their
work every morning past the odd little
French restaurants and places of more
doubtful reputation, whose windows are
never open until mid-morning. One
OF the prettiest of these flower workers,
CHANGING brightly from out a bower Of
golden ringiets, said to the New York
kilograms Blocker street reporter:
1--WE girls learn this business in from
four to ten months. We make nothing
struction. An outfit of tools costs S15,
and we must buy that ourselves. When
"a girl has earned her trade she can
make from SO to SIS a week"
do you work from natural howers?'
''Oh, no." she laughed. "Some Of us
have seldom seen a natural flower save
in the show windows. Here are our de-
signs" and she opened a book in which
were prints of roses, lilies, violets and "a
dozen other flowers in their natural
colors.
''Here," she went on, ''are our
knives, brushes and paints. The wax
from which some OF the lowers are
made comes in thin sheets. We cut IL
into leaves, stamens and petals with the
knives, and the men curl the parts in
the pressing machines. We paint the
wax flowers according TO these designs.
Flowers are also made OF cloth 1t
comes in various .colors, and we select
those suitable for the flowers we are
making. When h howersa are Finished

Labor In California.

SNtf isttH
The labor question has been forced
prominently to the front as a burning
question of the hour by the assured fact
that an enormous crop of fruit will need
to be gathered, packed, cared for,
cured, or canned within the next five
months. There are not so many
Chinese in the state as there have been
and the hop fields will use many of those
still here. Every branch of business is
prosperlng as never before. Manufac-
turing of all kinds was never before SO
active, and railroad building is going
On at a marvellous rate. This general
prosperity has called into service very
much of the available help In the state.
and me of it has been withdrawn from
the orchard and vineyard to more inter-
estiug fields. That is to be expected
and there is good reason for it. Labor
is bound to go where it finds the most
profitable and congenial employment,
aud it must be said that horticulture
has not, so far in California, offered it
any such Inducements. AS a rule, the
laborer in the Vineyard, orchard, or
on the farm is treated with only so much
consideration as appears just to tolerate
him. He is housed in a haystack, fed
no more invitingly than a hog, and
worked as long as he can stand up. Be-
sides, the pay in too often r~idiculously
inadequate. Under such circumstance
it is not to be wondered at that men do
not care to seek the orchard or the field
to work. The proposition that has been
advanced and partially carried out to
bring negroes from the south has some
advantages. The best interests Of the
state lie in establishing and maintain
ing we'll paid labor that toll shall not
seem an endless round of hopeless effort
where ambition is dead and the pros
pect Of home and happiness impossible.
If the negroes of the south are to fur
nish so agreeable a solution of the labor
question they will be welcomed to Cali
fornia.

The SECOND DISTRICT.

The republicans OF the Second o n
gressjonal district will to-day nominate
a candidate for congress. Mr.. Laird
desires a denomination, and his friends
have been working hard and zealously
to secure it. The following upon which
Mr.. Laird depends is not simply ag-
gressive; it is daring and reckless, and,
If necessary, INSCRIPTIONS. 1t will hes
itate at nothing in order to win.
Mr.. Laird has no claim upon the rep
utable republicans Of the Second dis
trict. His congressional service has
brought them neither honor nor ad-
vantage. He has not the ability or
the character to command the re-
spect and confidence Of his col
leagues in the house, and such a repre-
sentative can be of no use TO his o
stituents. He is not in sympathy with
the people, being the creature and in
strument of the corporations. Con-
spicuously weak as a legislator, his per-
sonal habits are an affront to the state
which he in part represents.
There are capable and reputable re-
publicans in the Second district who
would worthily and acceptably repre-
sent that constituency in congress. One
of them should be selected to succeed
Mr.. Laird. It is to be feared, however,
hat this will not be done. There is
danger that the better class OF republic
cans will allow themselves, as in the
past, to be overawed by the
supporters of the congressman, who
will of course be present in full force to
dominate the convention il permitted
to do 50. They must be me- with firm
ness and courage, but unfortunately
these are too often wanting at the vital
moment. The republicans of the Sec
ond district will honor themselves and
the state by retiring Mr.. Laird and
nominating a man to succeed him who
has both ability and character. If they
omit to do this they may suffer defeat,
notwithstanding the fact that the re-
publican voters OF the district are
largely in the majority. That would
not be a greater misfortune than re-
tanning in congress a wholly unit rep

To Close This Week.

The debate on the tariff bill in the
house of representatives will come to an
end this week. 1t will thereafter be in
order TO offer amendments to the meas
ure, the advocacy of which will be linn
tied to five minutes. These will I'M
doubtedly be very numerous, and it is
probable that the remainder of the
month at least will be consumed in the
consideration of amendments.
With regard to the prospects for the
passage of the bill, they are believed
by its supporters to have grown more
favorable. The conversion is noted
of several democrats who at the outset
were opposed to the measure.
This has been brought about
lot only by the vigorous application of
the party whip, but also by the influence
of democratic expression throughout
the country. The voice of the party
uttered through state and congressional
conventions has been uniform in APP
prevail of the reform views expressed by
the president, and which the tariff bill
is assumed to be in accord with. Demo-
Gratis who have opposed these views have
been vigorously notified of the disap-
proval of their constituents. A notable
instance is the defeat of Representative
Wilkins of Ohio for denomination, and
the selection of a candidate who favors
the presidents position. Judge Seney of
that state found it necessary. to his
political salvation to assure his con-
%stituents that he would support the
tariff bill. Both of these are in strong
democratic districts which they have
long represented. These circumstances
are causing democratic congressman
who have not favored the tariff bill,
and who desire to be reelected, to see
That the way of political safety for them
selves is in acting with the party, and
it will not be at all surprising if when a
vote is taken Mr.. Randall is not found
standing almost alone on the demo-
cratic side in opposition to the Mills bill.
In that case the measure may go
through the house by a very small ma
jority.
1t is understood that the republicans
of the ways and means committee are
preparing a bill to be offered as a sub
stltute for that of the majority, but it is
said they are having some difficulty in
harmonizing the views of the republi-
can of the house as TO the sort of
measure that ought to be brought for
ward. In any event it is apparent that
the determination of the matter will be
upon party lines, and in this case the
chance of any measure of tariff reform
passing at the present session is ok
tremely small.

One Hundred Years Ago.

Next year will be as rich in centenary
events commemorating the history of
the United States as was the centen-
NAL year in which the country cele-
brated the signing of the declaration of
independence. On the 4th Of March,
1889, under the constitution adopted by
the states the previous year, the first
congress of the United States assembled
at New York. But the prospects did
not at all open favorably for the young
republic. A number of the states had
not yet sent their delegates and ON
gress could do nothing but meet and
congressman had arrived to constitute
a quorum. When congress finally
assembled for the transaction
of business, the electoral
vote was opened and George
Washington was found to have received
the unanimous vote OF the electoral
college for president, and John Adams,
having received the next highest num-
Der Of votes, vas declared vice presi-
dent. 1t was not, however, until April
80 that George Washington was inaug-
urated as the first president of the
United States of America.
This momentous event III the first
hundred years of our republic under
our present form Of government will be
celebrated in a most fitting manner by
the city OF New York. Committees are
now at work to make the occasion
memorable in the annals of history.
General Sheridan has accepted the
duties of grand marshal so that the
pageant attending the celebration will
be. fully in keeping with the
brilliant episode. On this occasion

in lands where the new institution will DO

trustees to hold these lands for an endow-
ment and start the school by getting the
building by popular subscriptions.

ton proceedings are a part of the organized
plan TO prevent and harass the Missouri Pa
ciic in its extension of lines in this state. II
Is claimed that Barnes is a right Of way man
for the b. & M. officials in this city. 1t Is
stated that like efforts will be made TO pre-
vent the bonds voted by Nuckoll county from
being issued TO the Missouri Pacific.
Passengers who travel over the Burlington
since the strike are somewhat timid. The
other day an old lady sat in q coach as the
train was nearing this city and
she chung to the arm Of the
seat and had such q frightened
look that the passengers all pitied her. When
the conductor came through she told him of
her fears of an accident with the inexpe-
rienced engineers in charge, but the conduc-
tor was equal TO the occasion, and told her
there was no danger, and that the old en-
gineer was in charge. With a sigh of relief
she rode without fear the rest of the journey
and the scab engineer pulled ono passenger
that had confidence in his ability.
There will not be much railroad building
out of Lincoln this year. but it is practically
settled that the Missouri Pacific will, before
snow flies, build from this point to Roca in
this county on the Crete line of the Missouri
Pacific, giving Lincoln a western outlet on
the new line.

dent of the woman's relief corps, has issued

A STRAIN eE SPANISH SECT,
People Who Believe I'm Going Naked
and woundig Themselves.

Your readers may remember that
some time ago 1 drew attention TO a
very remarkable phase of religious
iauaticismn i the little village OF Tolox,
in the province OF Malaga, which led TO
a state prosecution, The devotees OF the
religion, | may call to mind, took itiuto
their heads, or, rather were led to be-
lieve by their leader, q woman who de-
clared herself a prophecies, that the
highest form OF religion was to conduct
the mundane affairs Of this lifo in the
simple garb OF Adam and Eve before the
fall, This was bad enough, and led, as
| have said, to the intervention of the
Crown; but it was not their only diver
gence from the ways OF ordinary mortals
another portion of their doctrine being
to inlet upon themselves wounds in the
hands, breast and feet, such as are
shown in representations of the cru
citixion. They also burnt all, or nearly
all their worldly possessions, in the
belief that a higher power would pro-
vide them with food. Their behavior,
indeed, was such that, as stated, the
government felt called upon to inter-
fere, and a day or two ago q number of
leaders OF this strange sect were put
upon their trial. Already the most ex-
traordinary revelations have been
made, apart from what may be called
the spiritual manifestations which
these misguided people declare
have been made to them. The most in
teresting feature in connection with
the trial has been the experiments in
hypnotism, which have been made on
the defendants by medical specialists
this being the first time hypnotism has
been resorted to in Spain in the inter-
ests of justice.
In hearty every case the defendants
proved to be good" subjects. Many of
she experiments tried by the doctors
were of the most extraordinary char
acter. One of the accused, for instance,
when in a state of %hypnotism, on being
ordered to perspire, broke out almost
instantly in u state of profuse perspira-
tion, while another; who was ordered to
ascend a very high mountain, being
the while in an ordinary room, behaved
as If he were actually climbing, his
breathing becoming difficult and his
heart beating violently. When this
man was told that he had reached the
summit and might rest awhile, the
symptoms Of exhaustion gradually dis
appeared. Others were pricked with
long pins, and gave no evidence of feel
ing what was being done to them. The
trial will last several days longer and
will probably result in merely nominal
punishment being imposed upon the
accused, who for the most part seem to
be merely harmless, weak-minded peo-
Pile.

TIE assignment Of the wholesale COM
mission house of William T. Coleman s.
Co., of San Francisco, is said to have

THE people have again won a great
victory over fraud, corruption and
rings. In spite OF the pressure and
political influence brought to bear to
free the Cook county, Illinois, officials
guilty of enlightenment, they have all

dict of the lower court on the ground that
there were errors in the original trial.
Through technical loopholes these bood-
Iers expected to escape the clutches of
the law. But the court ruled that al
though there were some errors in the
trial, they were not of sufficient import
ance to justify a reversal of judgment.
