Of Mr.. Manstield's Richard Ill., this wear
failed to move the public to any great
degree OF admiration. The spectacular
part of the show was there, but there was
no power of acting, and the productions
were dismal failures.
"On the contrary, look at the two most
successful Shakespearean productions that
the New York stage has known this sea-
son, the AS You Like It, at Daly's Thea

some stage settings and admirable acting,
combination that won success prompt

Il have vet to learn that Miss Rehan
and Miss Wainwright and the members of
their companies failed to receive adequate
popular recognition of the dramatic worth
OF their several impersonations. The
handsome manner in which their produc-

seem to oyershadow their own individual
work.
Instances of this kind might be cited
almost beyond number to further show the
truth of my proposition. They are not

Wonderful Gun.

Paul Clifford, the original inventor of
the Paris pneumatic post system, has made
a pneumatic rifle, which is said to be a
wonder. 1t is described this way: The
weapon is much lighter than any of the
army rifles now in use. 1t resembles the
magazine gun in that steel cartridge
about span and half long and as thick
as mans thumb is attached to the bar
rel by means of a screw. The cartridge
contains 800 shots, which can be discharged
as rapidly or slowly as man desires. At a
recent trial the ball travelled with wonder
ful accuracy and penetrated deep into the
wall of the shooting room. As soon as one
cartridge is emptied of its 800 shots an
other can be screwed on the gun in the
twinkling of an eye. Mr.. Clifford says
that the 800 shots in cartridge can be
produced at cost Of about three pence
The gun itself can be manufactured fol
about S5.

That the enemy of man is man.
That the fairest flowers fade the soonest.
That knowledge leaves no room for

That pride is never so offensive as when

That sealskin sacque does not always

That when men are lonely they stoop 70

THE MECHANICS LIEN LAW.
How the Recent Dicision VIII Benefit Poor
and Honest Contractors.
HI ON the LII sburgh Dispatch.

How the Recent DicisiOn Will Benefit Poor
and Honest Contractors.
Fl ON the 1T sburgh Dispatch.
The State Supreme Court recently de-
cided in two separate cases that sub
contractor engaged IN the erection of a
building has no lien against the building
if the co atract between the owner and
principels contractor provides that the
building shall te delivered free of liens.
All contracts contain that provi'o, but
heretofore it was not supposed that it
affected sub. contractors aud material men,
who arc not parties to the contract and
whose lien is given to them by statute an
extraordinary remedy.
This Interpretation of the law practi-
cally wip"s out the mechanics lien law,
which has been in operation since lSO6,
and makes all people who work on or
furnish material for new building look
to the principal contractor alone for their
money. Its effects will be far-reaching,
and the parties Interested in 1t have not
yet crasped its full meaning. The general
opinion thus far is very much in avor OF
the decision as tending to freeze out all
dishonest contractors and raising such
transactions to higher level, When the
brickiayers, piaslcrers, masons, painters,
umber callers and others find, however,
that tnty will not have the slightest claim
against II building ON which the arc
working, different story Will be told.

the new ruling will relieve them of that
Honest and reliable contractors will be
benefited by the decision, but dishonest
and tricky ones will nc driven out OF

Among lawyers the decision has been
generally accepted rs good law, and the
opinion is generally expressed thVt there
should be no lien law whatever. AS the
new interpretation puts it the II echanics

efitled III Others. ~
Under the Id ruling dishonest CON
tractor could undeIbid all competitors, do
part of the work, draw about half the
money and then refuse TO pay the men.
With the fear Of lien hanging over his
property, the owner was compelled to pay
the men, although he had already paid
the contractor. Poor and honest build
ers were the men who would be mostly
benefited by the new rule.

OAKDALE, STANILAUs. Co, CAL.,(
May 10, 1890.
10 tne Editor Of The Jollstotcn Democrat.
On the 7th inst, we had great rain
that extended throughout all central Cali
foraia, rain that completely saturated
the ground the fall being 1.35 of an inch'
This made the gardens worth double, and
the wheat crop worth one-third more than
what they were the day before, but it was
death to the hay. Hay here is made OF
barley or wheat, cut when it is yet green,
and rain spoils it very easily. There was
big loss in hay, and in cherries and
strawberries in the gardens.
Since the rain we have had very warm
weather for May, but it is cooler to-day.
The Signal Service is total failure in this
State. The officials do not pretend to tell
the condition of the weather, except
twenty-four hours ahead, and then they
miss half-time.
There is nothing said in this State about
census taking, matters being kept very
close, bus there is no doubt but that the
llIs are well matured and the deputies
appointed. 1t will be a tat take for the
party in power, which the Democratic
party might and should have had if Iresi-
dent Cleveland had not put out too much
paper.
The craze in this State is raising the U.
S. colors on the various school houses in
the different counties. 1t looks like
patriotism until one considers who is at
the head of 1t, then it dwindles down to
very small dimensions. Not one out OF
ten that make the biggest noise, would
risk his life in defense of the country if it
were imperilled. 1t reminds one of the
crv of loyalty during the war. Loyalty,
draft, and substitute were the three
things most noticeable then.
We may need patriots soon, if the diff
culties between capital and labor grows
to greater dimensions. Where these
difficulties will end time cad only de-

is shaken to the centre. Men of capital
can buy legislation, and the laborer will
be oppressed in proportion TO the ability
of the capitalist, which is becoming
greater every day, but there is limit to
endurance.
There are hundreds OF thousands of
men, women and children now in the
United States who cannot tell where to-
morrow's grub will come from, or where
they will earn the next dime. From the
poor sewing girl to the sun-burned laborer
the wall Of poverty goes up, while
millionairs are increasing by the thousand.
There must. be something wrong IN our
system of political economy that pro-
duces this state of things. How these
wealthy people can feast on fat things
and glitter in jewelry, when they know
that the money that bought them has
been extorted from the poor without con-
scienuous remorse is mystery TO those
who are not initiated. But such is the
case. Why do people who are over

SOME people are kicking against the
inouisitorial nature of many of the census
inquiries. There is now no time to amend
the matter and the best thing the American
citizen can do is to make up his mind to
answer them and avoid trouble to himself
and to others. That the statistics called
for will be useful there can be no doubt,
although it is likely that some points the
information received will hardly be taken
as true representation of things concern
ing which inquiries are made.
