For the kind the climate is good. 1t
Is neither tropic, sub-tropic or temperate.
1t is neither hot or cold, but little of
both. The days are dry and mild and
the nights COOL damp and foggy. This
climate, not being regulated by latitude, but
by oceanic currents, deserts and noun
tains, has an evenness the whole year
round. There is practically but one season.

AFTER MORTON.
He DabbIes With Contract Labor and Gets
Left.

New York Special
The Evening World to-day publishes broad
side of charges against the Hon. Levi P Nor
ton, the republican viee-presidential candidate,
in which it is alleged that Mr.. Morton imports
contract laborers and pays them much less
than the current wages here. The men said to
have been imported by Mr.. Morton are a couple
of gardeners, with whom the following contract
is alleged to have been made: "We the I'M
dersigned, hereby agree to give our services as
undergraduates TO Levi p. Morton for the Pc
Rod OF two years, beginning March /, 1885,"
The wages, S64 and $50, were mentioned
and Mr.. Morton agreed to pay their expenses
ana passage money out. Ii is stated by the
World that the gardeners became dissatisfied
and when one informed Mr.. Morton that he
was going 10 leave, Mr.. Morton declared that if
he did he (Morton) would have him arrested,
as there was contract between them. Lach-
Ian Forbes Is the name OF the gardener in ques-
ton. He said that Mr.. Morton made him re-
fund his passage money before he left.
Meanwhile / had tried to get several place.
and had failed. | know that in one case he
prevented me from getting place | was AFTER"
said Forbes.
According to Gardener Forbes during the
months OF April and May two grooms for the
stable, two fOotmen and six female servants
were sent over from England by Mr. Morton
under contracts varying from one to two years
The stablemen and footmen had not left when
he went away, but they were on the point of
dong 50, TO- in every case they found that the
wages they were getting were far below the
average paid in this country for the same class
OF work.
The female servants did not remain a week
In the house after their arrival, but most of
them bolted right away the next day, either TO
New York, where it is supposed they obtained
other employment or went back to England

You put your ear to the rail-track and you

Gods mercies and judgments. The mercy
of God is first to be tried upon this

the mercy of the gospel and the story,
and the song and the prayer, will be

accept the offer of mercy-what
