MASTERS AND MEN.

The Rev. J. A. Cruzan delivered a
lecture Sunday night in which he
represented the condition of the
white laborers in the United States
as worse than the condition of
slaves before the war. The reverend
lecturer probably had in mind the
fact that the slavery of condition
may be as hopeless as that imposed
by law. But he was somewhat at
fault in the application of his
truism. At the very time when lie
was speaking there were from 10000
to 10000 well-dressed people, most
of whom work with their hands for
living, returning from excursions
across the bay, to the Presidio, the
Park, Ocean Beach or other rural
places of resort. The average ex-
pense of each of these people for the
day could not be much less than one
dollar. There was apparently not
one among the thousands who is not
habitually well fed, well clothed and
supplied with an abundance of the
common luxuries of life. By far the
larger part of them went on their
return to comfortable homes, slept
in comfortable beds and awoke the
morning after refreshed for another
weeks work. Of course no one will
contend that the development of our
Industrial system does not produce
inequalities. Some men get very
rich while others remain poor. The
rich are often hard and grasping,
and there is truth in the asser-
ton that a good many poor men per-
petuate their bondage by their bal
lots. But it is not worth while to
paint the situation blacker than it is.
The fact is incontestable that in the
midst of this accumulation of colos-
sal fortunes the man who works with
his hands gets more money for his
work than he did before the war and
buys more of the comforts of life
with each dollar he earns. While
wages have increased in nominal
amount, dollar has a greater pur-
chasing power than it had in 1860.
The white laborer of the North is
better off now than he was thirty
years ago and his condition is i'm
proving. He has in the recent past
obtained larger share of the pro-
duct of labor and capital than he
could get thirty years ago, and there
is every prospect that he will at least
retain what he has. OF course no
sane man would institute a compari-
son between the condition of the
Northern laborer before the war and
that of the Southern slave. It was
the sense of justice of the Northern
laborer that made the successful
issue of the war possible. The
Northern free laborer was incensed
at the degradation of the slave and
rose in his might to demand that his
fellow-laborer should be allowed to
enjoy some of the fruits of his own
labor S. f. Call, Nov. IL.

EDISON'S NEW CLOCK.

Inventor Edison is busily engaged
in making a Photographic clock
which, instead of ringing out the
number of the hour, will announce
the time of day in stentorian tones.
The clock is on the same simple plan
as the talking doll. 1t shouts out
the time every quarter of an hour
AS novelty it is certain to take with
the people. 1t will prove, also, a
very good Office clock, but as an
ornament in the parlor it is a serious
question whether it will ever be
much of a success, especially where
young people are feature of the
household. The young man calling
upon his best girl on Sunday even
ing would probably receive a tre-
mendous shock if he heard gruff
voice break in upon his loving
whisperlngs with the announcement
that it was "12 o'clock" In few
minutes the same harsh voice would
croak again "quarter past IL o'clock"
That very nice young man would
have no piece of mind till he made
his escape from the house, as every
quarter of an hour that clock could
be counted on to shout.
AS an alarm clock, the invention is
destined to triumph. It can be
made to call person at any hour of
the day Instead of setting up an
unearthly gathering, as the present
bell alarm clock now in vogue, it
will, in a dignitied and solemn man
ner, shout: John, get up; do You
hear me, John? Now, if you don't
get up, I'll take the bootjack."
AS kitchen clock the invention
will be popular with all house
keepers. Mary the cook, can be re-
minded that it is timeto put the oat-
meal on, peal the potatoes and warn
her not to leave the pies too long in
the oven.
In many other ways it is expected
that the clock can be relied on as
director and mentor In the house
hold. 1t will be several months
before the article is put on the
market, and Mr.. Edison feels quite
of its success.

cate that they preserve their iden-
tity as an organization, and retain
their power to use it at the polls
wherever it may accomplish the
most good. To identify their cause
at this or any other time with that of
the Elele, will be the greatest
blunder that could be made, at a
time when 10 necessity exists for
making a blunder. "An ounce of
prevention Is better than a pound of
cure."

MR. MINER the American Min
lister Resident recently appointed to
Costa Rica, on his arrival there and
presentation to the President of
that Republic, made speech which
has created some commotion among
the Central American politicians.
The offensive part of his address is
as follows:
The States of Central America must
unite. A strong Federal Government is
your only salvation. Colombia is mass
ing her troops on the southern border of
Costa Rica Mexico has covetous eye
on Guatemala. 1t will be only short
time before Colombia will seek to seize
your State and Mexico will seize Guate-
mala. Central America will be blotted
from the map of independence, and her
identity sunk in that of Colombia and
Mexico. The time is drawing near, and
only the most energetic action in the
federation of Central America can save
your freedom.
This announcement irritated the
Mexican Minister at Washington
who sought an explanation of it
from Secretary Blaine, who assured
Romero that the remarks of Miner
were wholly unauthorized, which
pacified the Mexican Minister. To
say the least Minister MINERS utter
ances were uncalled for and wholly
out of place.

THERE seems to be lack of small
cottages in this city-houses with
four or five rooms that can be rented
at $50 to SIS month. In other
cities, this class of property is in de-
mand, and always pays well. Any
where on the line of the tramcars,
and easily accessible, such residences
in healthy localities seldom remain
empty. Cottages of this class, IN
cluding the land, and built in modern
neat style, ought not to cost over
$500, the occupant having the op-
ton to pay $50 to S25 a year rent or
purchase the title in stated install
ments, as is done in other places.
Here is an opening for idle capital
on a safe basis, which will give en-
ployment to mechanics and homes
for many seeking such.

Tue fremen's election, held on
Monday evening, passed off very
creditably, and the close vote of the
rival candidates showed hard work
on both sides. The election is for
two years, instead of one as former
". There was a report yesterday
that several proxy votes were ad-
mitted, but such an occurrence could
not possibly have happened where
the scrutiny was SO close, and fair
play was preserved from beginning
to the end.

The Secretary of the Board of
Health desires US to state regarding
the eleven unknown deaths" of
November, that all were unattended
by physicians, though Rev. Lowell
Smith visited one native. All were
natives except three Cinnamon. The
persons who applied for certificates
stated, in reply to questions in each
case, that they could assign no cause
for death. Just here is the point
where there should be some investi-
cation. Did they die natural deaths
or were they poisoned or otherwise
disposed of? Eleven deaths in one
month, unattended and from "un-
known causes" at the rate of 132
per annum! 1t certainly looks like
barbarism. Is there no remedy?
We have no wish to blame the officers
of the law, but there should be some
reform in this very serious matter.

The political contest on Hawaii
has evidently commenced in earnest,
and the preliminary meetings for
sounding the popular pulse have
been held in Kohala and Hamakua.
The nominations made are of course
primary ones, subject to ratification
by the central convention TO be held
at HIlo, December Doth. It will be
observed, however, that the above
two districts have nominated five
men from their own sections, and
one from Kau, thus ignoring the
large districts of -Hilo, Kona and
Puma. or half of Hawaii. There are
six districts on Hawaii, and it would
seem the more honorable and polite
course to select one Noble from
each, if suitable men can be found.
Hilo and Puna-nearly half the
island-should certainly be entitled
to two Mobiles, and the two Konas to
another, if they possess men willing
and capable to serve in the gratui-
tous task. OF course, if they do not
possess them, candidates must be
taken from such districts as can fur
nish them, or from any other island,
though such selection as the latter,
should not be resorted to except in
cases of necessity, which do not exist
on Hawaii, Maui or Kauai.

Pampas Grass for Profit.

A correspondent of the Florida Dispatch,
Farmer and Fruit Grotcer says of pampas
grass that few things can be grown in the
lower south with so little trouble. 1t might
be made profitable crop on account of the
fine plumes it bears. In saving the plumes
they should be cut as the least white ap-
pears at the top of the stalk, the outside
covering carefully removed, and then
thoroughly dried in the sun. AS they ma
ture in July, when the heat is great, a
single day usually finishes the job. if care
is taken to turn them occasionally. When
wanted for ornamental uses, hold them for
a short time near hot stove, and they will
puff out" to their fullest capacity. AS
only the longest plumes will sell proftably.
the ground upon which they are to grow
should be made very rich, and if planted in
a field, should not be less than ten feet apart
each way. Plants grown from seed are not
reliable, and only roots of the "Gynerium
drgenteunl" should be used The editor
adds that he does not see why we of the
lower south might not make the business of
raising these plumes extremely profitable
so say we. They would be extensively pur-
chased by northern visitors, at least. Cali
fornia raises them for sale. on large scale,
shipping to Chicago. New York and other
eastern markets. 1t pays.

Learning to Milk.

Farm and Home says that in learning to
milk novice should always commence
with a COW which is easy to milk, and requires
but little pressure on the teat The COW
must also be a quiet one or the mixer, with
his pail, may be upset. All things being
ready. the COW being tied, if possible, the
mixer takes his pail or bucket in the right
hand and his stool in the left. He then
quietly approaches the right side of the
cow, and sits down near her udder as gent
ly as possible. He then takes hold Of one
teat with his right hand and another with
his left, and in turn, presses each little.
This causes the milk to flow, and this con-
tinues until the whole is extracted. The
student should remember that the two
teats are not pressed together, but one, two,
one, two, one, two. must be the order of the
day. After a minute or two at the first
two teats, the other two should be relieved
a little; the mixer then returns to the first
pair and strives to extract the milk as fast
as possible. The last drop or two cannot
usually be drawn by the clasp of the hand,
but the teat is passed once or twice between
the forefnger and thumb, and leaves the
udder 'clean" of the milk. The finger and
thumb process is known as stripping and
a really good mixer 'strips" but very lit

Care of Brood Mares.

There are few periods in the year when
brood mares require more careful attention
than during the months of March and
April, not that they do not get feed enough,
but because they do not, in many cases, re-
ceive sufficient exercise. For various rea-
sons they are not worked or driven to any
great extent, and consequently, unless they
are given abundant exercise their appetites
become poor and the digestion weakened
and the nervous system impaired. FIRE.
quent and judicious exercise will keep the
mare strong, vigorous and healthy, will
give her such an appetite that she will con-
sumo and assimulate food sufficient for her
foal, will keep down the slugg ishness or irri-
tability-accoTding to temperament-re-
sulting from long continued inaction and
confinement in the stable, and will be a
great and important factor in the develop
ment of the foal. These, briefly, are the
advantages Of exercise; but there are
also dangers to be guarded against, such as
too much of it, or sudden exposure, when
warm, to piercing winds. The danger of
accident must be avoided, and above all
avoid violent or excessive exercise.

Farming ns a Business.

Probably no occupation is carried on with
SO little regard to business rules as that Of
farming. The farmer requires more edu-
cation and knowledge of greater va
RE y Of subjects than any of the so-called
learned professions. The man who knows
only how to turn a good furrow, prepare
the soil for the seed, stop the growth of
weeds and promote the growth Of plant,
has not mastered the art of su ccessful farm
ing. Nor has the man who knows only
how to raise fine horses, sleek cattle or fat
swine, or how to fertilize his fields to the
best advantage, raise the best corn or pota-
toes or the highest yield of oats or barley.
The man who to-day really makes thor
ough success as a farmer must combine
aIl these elements of knowledge and many
more.
1t used to be said that any fool could be a
Iarmer but at the present day people begin
10 realize the fact that the farmer needs the
most education. The time has gone by
when the haphazsrd, slipshod, go-as-you-
please methods Of farming can be made to
pay. What would be thought of the manu-
iacturer who did not know to the fraction
oil a cent the cost Of the raw material and

Corncobs for Fuel.

In the west corncobs are a marketable
commodity for fuel, and loads of cobs are
brought into the cities from the farmers in
the country and sold to the city people, who
prefer them to wood for summer use, and
in the winter use them for kindlings to light
the coal fires. Some pour little kerosene
over few, and use them as torches to start
the fires. They ignite quickly and are very
convenient. Cobs are kept picked up and
saved in this country more economically
than hardwood chips in the east. They
make a quick fire for summer use, and
answer every purpose for cooking. Wood
and coal are very expensive, and it is a
matter of economy to use these as a substi-
tutc, and if farmers wives in New England
once tested their utility they would gladly
save them for use in the cook stove.
