CHAPTER vi.
BY HON. ELI MAYO.


In one-roomed cottage down near the
drainage canal dwells the rich and proud
Alfred Cash. He is married, and the
fairy who bends over the wash-tub in yon-
der shed, while the sunlight that streaks
in through the ehinks in the boards and
plays in titful mood among her disheveled
auburn tresses, is none other than the once
beautiful belle of the street-Miss Keen
ostril-now Mrs. Cash.
Two years and three and a half weeks
have elapsed since the stirring events re-
counted in the preceding chapters &C.
Cured.
Time has not dealt gently with those
whose names are linked together in this
thrilling drama While Cash sits on the
apple-box by the door of his cottage (pur-
chased by the author at tax sale in the
long ago) sewing buttons on his trousers,
and his bride manipulates the family linen
on the wash beard, let US take a glance
backward at the course of events during
the past year.
1t had been hard winter. The high
ways, transformed by the rains into con-
tinuous mud-holes, and the railroads
blocked by snow and land-slides, had par
alyzed travel, and the hotel business
waned.
1t waned, and kept on waning, until the
landlord of the Hotel de Oak Avenue
meals Is cents, on the Italian plan,
found it necessary to discharge his clerk,
Hardcheek.
Thrown upon his own resources-con-
sistiDg of diamond pin and good stock
nf assrrauca-he came near starving to
death. His condition becoming known to
the fair damsel on II street, he was for
babe the privileges of the household. His

hated rival, Cash, had been reinstated in
the affections of Miss Keenostril, and life
seemed to have nothing in store for him
but misery.
So one dark night, as an Oregon freight
train pulled out of the depot the watch
man saw the figure of man steal out from
the shadow OF post and rush toward the
moving train. 1t grasped an iron rod by
the side of one of the cars, and with a
swing disappeared under the car. The
figure had landed safely on brakebeam.
/ The next morning the mangled remains
of a human being were shoveled up along
the railroad track in the vicinity of Ar
cade station and brought to the Coroner's
Office. A piece of shirt-front, containing a
diamond pin, and section of petrihed
cheek served to identify the remains.
So much for Hardcheek.
A few months later the millionaire
father of the fair Clara went to the wall,
SO to speak. He backed an aspiring jour
nalist in an interior village in his efforts
to establish great newspaper. The cal
low would be educator OF public opinion
conceived the novel idea OF getting up a
list of subscribers by giving away houses
and lots, horses, furniture, jewelry, etc.
Before his financial hacker was aware OF
what had been done, he was swamped-his
fortune was gone.
Then it was that Cash, the once dis
carded lover of the beautiful Clara, got in
his work. He renewed his suit, and-as
he was supposed to be well fixed in money
matters-he was accepted.
They were married, and wedding trip
to Folsom followed. A few months

THEIR TRUE NUMBER.

With each new account Of the school Of the
Ramabai at Bombay we get new account
of the census of the child widows, who are
being reclaimed from child widowhood by
the educational process of the Pundita.
Writing to the REcoRD-UNIoN from
Bombay, under date of September Goth,
Miss Sarah D. Hamlin says:
There are now seventeen young widows in

sire OF these girls seem to be to prepare as soon
as possible to help others as Ramabai is helping
them, and to prove by lives of usefulness their
appreciation of the Kindness of the American
people to them. To all of these widows re-
marriage is forbidden by caste rules.

TO THE VOTERS
Of Sacramento County.

THE COST OF GOVERNMENT Is YEARLY
i becoming more and more excessive, and
the burden of taxes more and more heavy upon
the people. The revenue OF State, county and
municipal government is wasted by careless
and extravagant officials. This is partly the
fault of party and partly the fault of the people
Political parties seldom make specific pledges
for candidates TO subscribe to, and the people
are more apt to vote for party than for men.
Every candidate should be pledged 10 the eco
nomical conduct OF the office to which he
aspires, and If any extravaganza is known, the
candidate should be pledged to abate it.
The County Auditor and Recorder of Sacra-
$1,000 per annum. and for the past four wears
has asked for and received from the Board of
Supervisors an additional sum OF 81 zoo per

deputy. This, claim is gross extravaganza !;

give his PERSONAL attention to the office the
work can be done for the amount allowed by
law.
L hereby pledge myself that If elected
to the offices of Auditor and Recorder of
the county of Sacramento, i will conduct
the offices and perform ali the duties
thereof for the amount fixed by law, and

DIGNIFYING LABOR.

The withdrawal of the railroad corpo-
rations from active partisan politics in
this State by the President Of the South
ern Pacific Company, and the emancipa-
ton of railroad employees from the servil-
ity which necessarily accompanies the
demand of the employer that the employe
shall forego personal convictions and vote
in accordance with the behests Of his en-
ployer, is higher tribute to the manhood
of the employed class and an act which
will do more to dignity labor than any act
of any corporation in the United States.
Under the existing organization of in
dustrial systems, it is impossible for the
employed class to amass fortunes There
are instances of men whose start in life
is in the employed relation, but the
initial beginning of their fortune is at the
point where they leave employment and
become employers. 1t is within the
power OF men receiving reasonable wages
TO accumulate reasonable competency in
the course of life time, bat there is no
instance in the world of any one having
accumulated a fortune by wages alone.
Wealth is acquired by the accumulation
of the result of the labor of others. There
are, of course, exceptions to this rule, but
they are merely accidental. Here and
there a man has made discovery Of such
value to mankind as to confer upon him
fortune. Once in while man discovers
mine of precious metal, and large for
tune is the result, but these are
mere accidents, and are not in
any respect the result of the
labor systems of the day. Throughoutthe
land the employers of men are tie aecu-
mulators of wealth. Fortunes are the ag-
oregation of the product of labor. The
employer pays wages, but unless there is a
margin in his favor in excess of the wages
paid employment ceases. Men are en-
ployed because of profit to their employers.
Now If in this state of affairs the right to
control the franchise of the employed is
asserted and maintained, then wealth be.
comes the imperial governing force of the
country. The theory of republican gov
eminent is the perfect distribution of the
sovereignty to each individual, and an
equal exercise on the part of each of that
sovereignty. When employment is used to
fetter all exercise of the sovereignty guar
