Christianity Applied to Busine
Mr.. John ManAInnlRr the nI.inrn

Christianity Applied to Business.
Mr.. John Wanamaker, the prince of
American dry-goods dealers, has even
a more enviable reputation as a Chris
tian philanthropist than as success
full man of business. An account Of
the work he has done among his en-
ployes reads like the dream of some
socialistic visionary. Years ago, be-
fore it became fashion, the custom
was instituted OF shutting his store for
half of each Saturday, and a library
was founded for the use OF all employ
ed in the establishment. Year by
year the work has grown, until there
have been established the Savings
Fund, the Building Association, class
es for instruction, and the Beneficial
Association, by means Of which GER
tain portion OF the proceeds OF the
business is distributed among en-
ployes incapacitated for work BY means
Of age, sickness or accident. Within
two years the Woman's House was
opened. This furnishes home for
women employed by the firm, and
everything is done to make the house a
real home.
On Good Friday OF last year Mr..
Wanamaker laid before his people
new scheme whereby a certain per
cent of the profits Of the business was
to be shared among the employees.
The plan is somewhat elaborate, but the
principal features are that all who have
been in the employ Of the firm seven
years are to have share in the annu-
al profits according to the value of
their services to the firm" In addi-
ton 10 this, all the sales-people. re-
CARELESS of their term Of service, are
granted share of the monthly re-
ceips in the form Of percentage on
sales. On the 9TH OF May of last year
Mr.. Wannamaker met all his en-
plOyes to report the result OF the
years work. The total amount of
money distributed and set apart for
the benefit of those employed by the
firm Gin addition to salaries) was
800, 430. SO, OF which $50, 1885, 6 was
in monthly dividends, $40, .02
in annual dividends to seven
year employees, and 100000 in
a pension fund. To encourage
the habit of saving, the Wanamaker
Savings Bank has been established.
In this bank sums of 81 and upward
are received, and draw five per cent
yearly interest. The deposits of per-
sons on the Seven Year Honor Roll
are considered special deposits, and
have added, beside the interest,
special premium of five per cent, If
the whole amount remains on deposit
an entire year.
1t seems as II there could be no
doubt about the good work which Mr..
Wanamaker is doing in thus carrying
into business the rules given by the
Founder of Christianity. II there
were more such business men they
could do much toward settling the
vexed problems OF Capital and Labor.
The Golden Rule.

RESTORE THE MUSEUM.

The late fire in the State Board of Trade
rooms destroyed the greater portion of the
exhibits there gathered. Such of the ex-
amples of California resources as were
saved were, for the most part. badly dam
aged.
The museum had been laboriously col
iected. 1t was a potential agent for en-
Tightening the Eastern visitor concerning
.California's natural resources and climatic
advantages. The State Board is not dis
mayed by its loss. 1t has taken larger, bet
ter and more centrally-located rooms in
San Francisco, and proposes to renew its
museum. 1t cannot do so unless it has
more than the sympathetic interest of the
people. Sympathy will not roll wheel,
convince an inquirer or advertise the re-
sources Of the State.
What is needed is more helpful aid than
commiseration. The people must send
new exhibits to the Boards museum. A
good many have done SO already, but not a
tenth have even promised, who ought to
be up and doing in this matter. What
We should ali do is to make this per-
sonal concern. Each individual should
feel that something is incumbent upon
him in the restoration of the museum.
No matter if ten thousand exhibits are
forwarded, or twenty thousand, they can
be used to advantage.
Of course, it would be wise to notify the
Board in every case of what It is proposed
to send, that it may not be pu. to cost and
trouble in receiving articles unfit or too
many duplicates. The new collection
cannot be made complete for several
months, because the seasons must come
and go, in order to secure examples of the
products in each. But the people should
take thought concerning the matter now.
Woods, minerals, preserved products, tex
tile staples and some other articles can be
forwarded now as well as later.
The State Board of Trade, through its
intelligent method of advertising Califor-
mia; by the confidence it has inspired; by
the aid given by its famous california on
Wheels by lis authenticated literature
upon California; by its counselings, de-
bates, advice and open house. has done
more to bring California into favorable
notice in the last two years, than all
the efforts put forth for decade pre-
viously The people owe it to themselves
to give the State Board all possible assist
ance. 1t is not cf,en that people have
such an uptiring and energetic body to
labor in their interest, without any reward
except that qualification which follows the
consciousness of philosophical effort, well
directed and maintained.

THE fight on Tuesday at Ballinakill
Ireland, between the factions of the Irish
Home Rule party, led by Parnell and
Davitt, respectively, was a disgraceful al
fair and reflects dishonor upon both the
leaders and the people engaged. Davitt
was cut about the head, and Parnell was
nearly blinded by lime thrown into his
eyes. Such scenes as are described by the
full reports will drive from the party its
conservative elements, and ALLEVIATE such
sympathy as has been felt for the Irish
party outside of Ireland and England.
Parnells course in forcing his party, when
it is SO widely divided upon the question
of his leadership, must result in the break
ing down of the influence he once exer-
cised, and the defeat of measures proposed
for the political paciication of the Irish
people.

the Federal Constitution to forbid States

the Federal Constitution to forbid States
granting lottery charters or franchises.
The basis of this wise proposition is the
declaration that such grants are to the In
jury of all the people of the Union, cor
rupting youth, stimulating the spirit of
gaming and robbing industry. by insidious
temptation, of its hard earnings. The
Alliance held that it is the duty of the
people of the entire country, as well as
their privilege, to oppose all agencies of
the lottery order as a matter of self
defense, and that the organic law should
prohibit any member of the Federal
Union from maintaining lottery gaming
institutions that feed upon the thrift Of
the people of the other States.
The Alliance appointed a committee to
correspond with all similar organizations
and move them and the people generally
to petition Congress to submit the amend
ment indicated. The attack the Alliance
makes is therefore straightforward, as it
also is vigorous and couched in terms that
! are unmistakable. and indicate deter
| mined spirit that will not brook refusal
This is really the first organized eff
fort Of moment outside of the State of
Louisiana to make war upon the lottery
gamblers. There is reason to believe that
it will succeed. There is not a State in
the Union, excepting Louisiana, in which
it would be possible to secure lottery
charter from a Legislature. The senti-
ment of the people generally is SO pro-
nounced in antagonism to lottery dealing
that no body of representatives would
dare to grant lottery franchise, even
though the Constitution of the State did
not expressly prohibit such legislation.
! 1t is, therefore, not vain to anticipate that
if the proposed amendment is subm tilted
it will receive the affirmation of all the
States, excepting only that one which is
| held beneath the thumb of the most pow
erful lottery corporation of time.
Nor do we believe that Congress will
decline to submit the proposition. There
will be advanced some opposition to the
scheme-not in friendliness to the lottery,
but upon the ground that the proposed
amendment is a step further towards de-
| priving the States of inherent rights of
| sovereignty. But we do not look upon
such probable opposition as of much force.
Governments are what the people choose
to have them, either by direct action in
amending the organic law, by acquiescence
in retrograde tendencies or by the revolu-
ton of violence. The people understand
clearly that lottery gaming is nefarious
| business, and, as the Alliance phrases it,
grossly unfair, even from the standpoint
of gamblers" If the people of the several
States are prepared to surrender the right
to countenance such an infamous business,
the amendment will be their expression,
the declaration of the governed and the
governing, and therefore one that can be
safely adopted, and that will not in the
slightest degree limit human right that is
conservative of human good.

a feminine hobby, universal

fitting that Fans should come
from both hemispheres, and our
