NATURE made California a New Years
present for which all people of this State
are devoutly thankful the downpour of
rain on Monday was splendid beginning
for the new year. It was general through
out the State, penetrating and bountiful
Thus far the precipitation for the season
has exceeded that of 1867 to a like date,
and the promise of the present is for con-
tinuation of the rsnfall The agricultural
interests of the State are greatly favored
by these rains; the renewed confidence re-
sulting is of Unreasonable benefit to indus
try, trade and investment, and gives en-
enlargement to the people that no other
event could. We have every reason now
to expect the season Of 1888 W be one of
q great harvest-exceeding that of last
year in all respects. We have, therefore,
new encouragement for exerting ourselves
to bring to and locate in the State thou
sands of homeseekers. To no other sec
lions can they be invited with such
confidence that the representations made
of the country will be borne out to
the letter, as to Northern and Central Cal
ifornia.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

1t is possible to level society down until
all are poor and distressed, but it is impos-
sible 10 level society up SO that all will be
rich.- Cleveland Leader
Examples of the futility of prohibition
are not far away, ard a shining example
of the good results of high license may be
seen in the neighboring State of Pennsyl-
vania.-Bu6aIo Express.
Manning was killed by hard work in the
worst ventilated public building in the
world. The Treasury building is simply a
vast chimney, the draft of which pulls poi
son out of the sewers to be breathed by the

Near four-ftths of the workingmen and
women of the country, from writer's to farm
hands, belong to no union, and are con-
trolled by no organization. This interest
ing fact is generally lost sight OF by the
trades unions that have SO much to say
about the working classes, and represent so
small fraction of Chicago Inter
Ocean.
If everybody was a poet as Mr.. Lowell
Is, there would be no politics, no parties
no machinery, no contests. But it happens
that poets of this type are scarce The
great bulk OF the common people who do
the voting are not at all poetical They
have a notion that President Cleveland
isn't much of a poet either, bus just plain,

Clevelaud's free-trade message would
have answered very well as communica-

Congress. The Constitution Of the Con-
federacy provided that the tariff should be
for revenue only, and should not be framed

was the corner stone of the ConfederacV,

TIE Blair bill to aid education, by Civ
ing several millions of money to the State
educational departments, is again upon the
Senate calendar. The REcoRD-UNIoN
two years ago expressed itself as averse to
the theory of the idea embodied in the
bill, and when its thought was first ad-
yanced by Judge Tourgee. The sentiment
of the promoter Of the bill is lofty one
and worthy ali commentator, but the
means he proposes to employ to decrease
illiteracy we think iil-chosen, because
they tend to destroy self-helpfulness.
Through all the debate of the measure
from the first we have maintained that view
The majority of the press and people of
Kentucky, State that would be inmedi-
ately affected by the bill, are opposed to it,
for the reason referred to. 1t is the duty
of every State to provide an adequate sys-
tenn for public education, and it is a duty,

The Executive Committee of the State
Board OF Trade met this afternoon. The
Committee on Legislation, Publication and
Labor Statistics, through the Chairman
Mr.. Estee, reported progress. State Super.
intendent of Schools Ira G. Holt spoke to
the Board in relation to the coming Ma
tional Teachers Convention. Heasked the
Board to lend its Co operation to the State
teachers in making the Convention, which
is to be held next July, a success One
thousand bulletins will be issued setting
forth the advantages of this State the hotel
accommodations, etc. These bulletins are
to be distributed among all the educational
institutions in the country. 1t is the in
tention of the State teachers to make the
bulletins pay for themselves, and Mr.. Hoitt
asked the Board 10 pay for the illuminated
cover at cos. of 81 600.
Mr.. Hoitt said that it is expected that
1000 educators will be present at the Con-
vention.
F. H. Campbell said that during the
Convention ii was intended to hold a
school exhibit in the Pavilion, and sug-
gested that the Board avail itself of the
opportunity to advertise the State by ask
ing the various county Boards OF Trade to
exhibit their products at the Pavilion, and
at the same time w. w. Cameron moved

THE UNpRoFITABLEKEss OF STRIKES

The National Bureau of Statistics has
collected the statistics Of strikes in the
United States, and the report is by no
means comforting in It's showing From
1880 to 1886 there were 1908 recorded
strikes. They Involved 22,336 employing
concerns and 1,S1S,624 employees. So that
we have the startling fact that for each of
the years the average of strikes was $50
of concerns involved, 1891, and employees
affected, 2l9,770. The average duration of
stoppage on account of strikes was 23.1
days. This gives us an aggregate loss of
5,075,697 days of work, which if made
equal to the work of one man, would en-
ploy him nearly l, 200 years, for 300 working
days in each. 1t is simply impossible to
estimate the loss to production accurately,
but the bureau estimates that the loss to
the strikers in wages was SOL, 816, los,
while the employers lo-i $50 732, 653. But
the real loss is the sum Of both these
items, or $50 54S, 81, because the employ
ers loss was loss of profits. If into this
calculation Mr.. Commissioner Wright had
cast materials, he might have given us an
important and astounding figure. The
theory is that materials were not affected
by the strikes so far as loss was concerned.
But is it not true that cessation of con-
sumption affects materials in their actual
values Independent OF speculative infu-
ences So that it is fair to accent the es-
innate of the Chicago Times that the loss
by reason of the strikes in the six years
was, at moderate calculation, 100000, 0OO
so then the people of the country are
poorer by S10O,OO0,OOO and the strikers
are no richer. In some cases the strikers
made gains by their procedure, but it is
certain that these bear but slight pro-
portional relation to the aggregate loss
1t is thus shown that the strike means of
settling labor issues is an exceedingly
costly one, and is visited most heavily
upon the workers themselves. Lock-outs
which are compartments of epidemics of
strikes, in the six years involved 2,182
establishments, not quite one-tenth the
number affected by strikes. Employers
lost through lockouts SS,132,717, less than
one-sixth of the losses to employees through
strikes. Neither the remedy of strike or
lockout has proven profitable to the pro-
motors. Both, unquestionabls, in several
instances, were the result of schemes to
affect the markets, and provoked for the
express purpose Of enabling cor ners to be
made upon products

WHAT DID HE MEAN?

Precisely what did the Pope mean
when, in addressing delegation from the
former army of the Papal States, he said
that his grief at being deprived of his mil
itary forces was mitigated by the hope that
he would soon be able to surround himself
by them again, and that the inkstand and
pen presented to him will be of use in
signing the orders for the reorganization
of the army? Did the Pope mean to be
understood as confidently looking forward
to restoration to temporal power? From
this distance nothing is in view to give
warrant for his hope. Italian unity an
pears to be better assured than ever before.
and if there is any basis for the hope, it
would seem to reside in some schemes
and plots not yet known to the world. 1t
does not seem possible that the Church
anywhere can gain greater hold upon the
State. On the contrary, the whole growth
and drift of the age is more and more to-
wards complete and perpetual separation
OF ecclesiastical and of civil authority.
Italy is now very strong her people are
contented with present rule; there is par
tial representation of them in the law
making branches of the Government; they
have not at any time mourned over the
decree that deprived the Pope of his tenn
poral power. II, therefore, Leo entertains
hope of its restoration, it must rest upon
anticipated aid from without Italy. If he
has been led to believe this will be given
and ready at his call, nothing can be more
certain than his humiliating disappoint-
ment. If any courts of Europe have i'm
pressed him with the idea that they will
aid him to regain his civil seat, they have,
for Interior purposes, been deceiving the
aged Pontiif.
