their feet are put into wooden shoes
and bound down tightly, SO that they
cannot grow. AS their bodies be-
come larger the feet remain as small
as ever; and when the child is a
woman, no matter how large she is,
her feet are as small as when she was
a baby. This they think very ele-
CANT.
"Can they Walk" asked the two
Frocks.
"No, they can only hobble, and it
hurts them dreadfully."
"Oh, how wicked!" said both the
Frocks.
"Yes-it is-but they are not the
only people who do wrong"
The little Frocks looked ashamed.
"Please go on with your story
they said rather softly.
81 was made into a wedding gown"
said the wrapper. 81 was pure white,
with silver leaves all over me-yery
beautiful-and was very anxious to
see the bride who was to wear me !;
but never did. A man came to the
place where | was living, and said he
wanted me for the French market.
He paid great price for me, and |
was packed up and sent away. |
can't tell you all | suffered in the
dark hold Of vessel at sea, and, the
worst Of it was, some salt water got
into the box where | was, and when
they came to look at me they said |
must be dyed. Now, | knew that
meant something dreadful, and SO it
did; for | was put into pot of hor-
rid red stuff, and when l came out of
it all my lovely silver leaves were
gone. They said | was only fit for
Innings, but lady bought me and
said would do well enough for
wrapper, and wrapper became.
Now, since sooner or later we shall
all reach the Rag-Bag, don't you
think we ought to be humble and not
think too much of ours9lves?"
Both the little Frocks nodded till
their buttons touched. This was the
way they kissed each other. They
never quarreled after that, and they
had the pleasure of knowing that the
old wrapper would not 60 to the Rag
Bag in a long while, for some one said
it would cut up beautifully into
squares for quilt.

AN UNwIsE PROPOSITION.

Senate Constitutional Amendment No.
l is proposition that it will be well to
defeat. 1t provides that those whose es-
tates do not exceed $500 shall be exempt
from assessment, and hence from taxation.
1t is proposition TO record the poor man
a pauper, in effect. Poverty is neither
crime nor dishonor; nor do small possess
sions lessen in the slightest the protection
afforded to the citizen by the laws. The
poor man in America does not want TO be
singled out and exempted from share of
the burden bearing that is essential to the
maintenance of the government that pro-
tects him, and under which he enjoys
Liberties broader and richer in opportu-
mites than fall to the fortune of man any
where else on earth. If there are, per-
haps, few men who desire to be enrolled
upon the poor list" in order to save so
much as the dollar and half of taxation
annually to which such may be subject,
they are not representative. The true
American is willing to pay his fair share,
and the poor mans dollar is Just as essen
tial in the scheme of society and just as
potential in the public purse as the rich
mans dollar. 1t represents the indepen-
dence, the right and the sovereign power
of the citizen who believe in receiving no
benefits from the State-so long as he is
not a Observation-Disclosures bearing his
share of the State burden. Moreover, the
proposition introduces inequality of taxa
ton, for it puts upon the class of citizens
possessed Of more than $500 of value OF
worldly taxable goods, an undue share Of
the burden Of government support, and at
the same time exempts others equally
protected from contribution to the means
of protection. The scheme is objectional
also because it puts premium upon
poverty, recognizes, through the law, classes
by conditions constantly changing, and by
the rule and measure Of the dollar and
cent lays out the line between independent
and alleged dependent citizens.

CoNsUL-GENERAL SEwALL, of Samoa,
says the dispatches, is deeply interested in
the Samoan situation and is anxious to
return to his post, but is more anxious
that the people of the United States
should arouse themselves to an intelligent
appreciation of the Importance of main
tanning the independence of the islands, in
order to thus properly maintain an interest
there. But if the Administration of Mr..
Cleveland, which sent Mr.. Sewall out to
Samoa to displace Mr.. Greenebaum for
presuming to hoist the stars and stripes at
the request of poor old King Malietoa,
had any clear idea of what true American
foreign policy is, Mr.. Sewall would not be
so disturbed in mind. Indeed Mr.. Sewall
would be practicing law in Maine, and the
American officers who defended American
honor in Samoa would not to-day be
Inundated and smarting under the rebuke

STRONG INDORsEMENr.
The California Fruit Union has passe
the following resolution.

1ne CdiIOInla rruiI Union mas passed
the following resolution:
Resolred, That the California Fruit Union,
representing the fruit-growing and shipping in
terests of California, express hearty indorse-
ment of the proposed London exhibit to that
end our representatives in the California State
Legislature are respectfully urged to use all
honorable means to create and maintain said
exhibit in manner commensurate with the
magnitude and importance of the interests rep
resented.
The California Fruit Union is composed
of experienced, clear headed and calcu-
lating business men. They are partly
fruit and vine growers and partly shippers
of California products to the East. They
know as well, if not better than others, the
needs of California in all things relating
to our exterior markets. The whole sub
ject-matter of the proposed London ex-
hibit has been before them in the press for
two months and more and they are en-
tirely familiar with it. The adoption of
the resolution by the unanimous vote of
such body is therefore most important
and forcible Endorsement, and ought to be
received by the Legislature as the coolIy
considered judgment of representative
body of producer and heavy taxpayers.

A BILL has been introduced in the AS
sembly to provide for the enlarging,
strengthening and improving of the State
Printing Office building. 1t is an impera-
tive need that such work should be done.
The State has exceedingly valuable prop
erty in the structure that should not be
exposed to unusual risks. The building
should be strengthened to meet the de-
mands made upon it and the machinery
and stock introduced into it. The sum OF
81 900, it is believed, will be sufficient to
pay for the needed improvements and en-
largement, and it ought to be voted with
out any hesitancy whatever, after fair
examination of the building and the val
liable uses to which it is put.

DANGEROUS PROVISIONS.

The election reform bill of Senator
Goucher is the bill agreed upon by the
Federation of Trades. Its provisions re-
garding election booths, issuance of all
tickets by the Government with all can
didates' names printed upon one ticket /;
the inhibition of ticket or ballot peddling,
and the provision that the elector must
procure his ballot from the clerk in the
election booth and the further provision
that the elector shall enter booth where
none can observe him, and there mark on
the ballot for whom he votes, seem 10 be
proper enough and look in the direction of
radical and needed reforms. The proyis-
ions regarding the recognition of Conven-
tions, the certifcation of nominees, etc,
deserve to be separately treated, being too
important to be considered out of hand.
But Sections Is, q and % contain propo-
sitions which so involve the sacredness OF
the secrecy of the ballot that approval of
them cannot be given, and emphatic objec-
ton 10 them must be entered. With the
methods in force for which those provis-
ions call, the ballot will no longer be
secret, and power viii be vested in election
clerks that is too dangerous and tyrannical
to be welded by any human being.
If brief, these provisions, after requiring
all the ballots to be bound in stub book
form, with 200 ballots in book, require
that both stubs and ballots must be num-
bered consecutively. If we stop right
here, the scheme is sufficiently open to OBJ
lection. The numbering precludes it is
true, the possibility of ballot-box stufiing,
since the election board must return the
numbered stubs and the ballots, and they
must correspondence for that would be
commendable; but beyond that virtue
the numbering system puts it within the
power of the clerks delivering the ballots
to make note privately of the number Of
an electors ballot, and thus Of ascertaining
in the canvass precisely how he voted.
Such information as that would be i'm
mensely important, have high coin value
with the bosses, and would put voters at
the mercy Of influences the law could
never reach, despite the provision that

o be availed Of, therefore, for active en-

to be availed Of, therefore, for active en-
ployment of the convicts confined there,
for without industry there can be no re-
form and no complete government in the
prison. The manufacture of bags is the
only industry that is left to the State pris-
ons against which the Trade Unions do not
raise their hand. If it is right thing to
do to employ the convicts at San Quentin
at iute looms with artificial motive power
for the machinery, it will be still better
thing to put any new machinery for jute
manufacture at Folsom to employ the
convicts there, and utilize free water
power that otherwise will run to waste. 1t
needs no extended calculation to prove
what saving such policy will make in
the matter of motive power. Whatever it
costs per horsepower daily for steam will
be wholly saved to the State, and these
sums in very few years will aggregate an
astonishingly large figure.

makes it a penal ofense for an election
official to disclose how an elector votes.

makes it penal offense for an election
official to disclose how an elector votes.
But as if the numbering did not sufici-
emily put the voter into the hands of the
two ballot clerks, it is further provided
that both such officials shall indorse upon
the stub and upon the ballot torn there
from their 'sinitials." As the elector has
but one ballot, as he can procure his ballot
only of the ballot clerks, it is obvious that
by score of methods of indorsing their
initials upon the ballot they can thereafter
identify the voter who cast it. To repose
any such power in any election clerk is a
proposition that cannot for moment be
entertained The Federated Trades err in
stating that New York has adopted this
system. The Empire State has not done
so, nor is it at all probable that any State
ever will approve of an election scheme
that puts or stamps upon the ballot any
device that will indicate the identity OF
the elector who casts it.

ANOTHER REASON FOR THE EXHIBIT

At the opening of the new headquarters
of the Viticultural Commission in San
Francisco the other day, Commissioner
Rose of San Gabriel, said
In his judgment, the present trouble in mar
keting grapes was not due to the dealers, but to
the fact that the production was greater than
the consumption. He expressed himself as CON
fident that the industry would become one Of
the greatest in the State, and said that the pres
ent project could only be successful by mutual
forbearance and indulgence on the part of the
Commissioners and the producers. The syndi
cate which recently purchased his place was
finding the best market for its products in En-
gland. The speaker emphasized the great need
OF keeping the wines up to a standard of ex
cellence.
While the closing expression is wisdom
no matter what or where our market is, il
gains additional force from the remarks
preceding it. In the English market We
should look for the foothold we have every
reason to believe we will gain in Europe
How then can we better gain attention fol
our vine products than by exhibiting them
in the center and heart of European trade
and travel-London

IT is to be regretted that Captain Mullan
and his claims to percentage on Federal
payments to California, of certain allowed
claims, should get into the legislative
season. There are enough important matters
to attend to without this old-time friction
interrupting. But if Mullan's claims must
become matters for legislative investiga-
ton, it ought to be had at once and got
out of the way. The appointment OF
Mullan as State Claim Agent at Washing
ton was unwise in the first place and of
very doubtful legality in the next, and the
bargain that he claims was made with him
was top-heavy with iberality to Mullan.
1t was blunder on the part of the Legis-
lature of 1888 to recognize Captain Mullan
as State Agent, and we do not believe the
body had the power to do SO without
direct legislation by bill upon the subject.
