Mr.. Ostrom moved that the bill be
made the special order for Friday morn

that Senators Seawell and Wilson Demo
crats) would probably be in their seats by
that time, and wished to be heard on the
bill.
Mr.. Voorhies regretted that the SEN
ators referred to were not well enough to
be present. The majority had postponed
action on the bill for a week, at the re-
quest of the minority, and regarded it as
dangerous to delay action any longer. 1t
was not the desire to pass the bill now.
The majority had some amendments to
make, and merely wished to pass the bill
to engrossment. 1t would come back
again, and still be open to amendment.
The motion TO postpone was lost, and
the bill was read the second time.
Mr.. Voorhies offered an amendment
changing somewhat the boundaries of the
Fourth District lin San Francisco).
Mr.. Goucher moved to amend so as to
have the counties south Of the Tehachapi
Pass comprise the Seventh District. Lost.
Mr.. Goucher then moved to amend by
striking out Mariposa from the Second
District, and include it in the Seventh
District. Lost.
He then moved to strike out the enact
ing clause. [Laughter.l
The motion was lost, and on motion OF
Mr.. Voorhies the bill was ordered en-
crossed, and made the special order for

has been cutoff or threatened have
started here with the intention of sup
plying from American mills the entire
demand formerly met by their works
abroad.
Last week IL was announced that the
purchase OF property and the establish
ment OF works near Manchester, Conn
was contemplated by French wooden
manufacturing firm now located near
Paris. In like manner works for the
ma Iufacture OF pushes, OF cutlery, OF
tin plates, of cotton ties and many other
products have been recently removed or
are now in the process OF removal TO this
country. In the aggregate these trans
fers within the past year have brou yht
to the United States many Thousand
hands, VINO will hereafter consume the
products of American farms and Amcri-
can artisans As they come here to do
work which was not previously done by
Cd ratives of this country, but in foreign
establishments clusiveiy, there results
no decrease whatever In the demand for
American labor But, their own con-
sumption of all other articles except
those they produce must be sup
piled by American industry, and thus
tho demand for such products ard for
American labor Is greatly Increased.
Every thousand hands thus trans
ferred from other countries TO this soon
demand and receive the American rate
Of wages, which il at least double that
paid abroad for the same work. In
stead of spending $500, 900 year for the
support Of families in the purchase OF
English, French, and German products,
these thousand workers spend 5000, 900 a
year in the purchase OF American prod
ucts, and thus give additional employ
ment to nearly thousand more Ameri-
cans in raising food for them, building
houses for them, and providing them
with furniture, clothing, shoes, imple-
ments, and all the things needful for the
more comfortable life that is possible in
this country. In many cases the hands
arriving from abroad are skilled and
able to support families, and bring their
families with them, so that four or five
additional consumers of American prod
ucts come for every hand employed in
the new industries. To produce the
articles required for the support Of such
family the labor Of nearly another
family is employed. The homo market
is enlarged, not temporarily or spas
medically, or until trade relations or
laws or treaties may be changed, but for
all time to come.

"Hired weepers Not wanted"

That enterprising exponent of Samuel
j. Tilden Democracy, the New York
Sun, cannot endure the present day
calamity tendency of its party. The
Sun says:
"This well-satisfed and thriving
country the Corsicana Golden and tho
Claimant have undertaken TO persuade
that il has been ruined by the protective
tariff. These two singular compounds
OF mountebank and crank want the
Democratic party to shut its eyes, stand
on its head, and say TO the farmers,
whose barns are bullying with grain,
Your granaries are empty on account OF
the tariff to the jObbers and country
storekeepers, whose stocks are being
sold as fast as they are ordered, You
arc prevented from doing business
by the tariff to the laborers, whose
services are in greater demand than
ever, You can find no work on ac-
count OF the tariff to the well-dressed.
You are naked on account OF the tar
iff; to the well TODD, You are paupers
on account of the tariff to nation
digesting its dinner with enjoyment and
peace of mind, You are starving on ac-
count of the tariff
"If the Democratic party were suffi-
GENTLY far gone with paresis to be
scared by the croaking OF these ridicu-
lous crows, it would be laughed cut OF
sight In 1892. Hired weepers are not in
demand at wedding feast, and crows
are hunted with shotguns.

A Drunken Clergyman.

A late number of the Church of En-
gland temperance organ, the Temper
ance Chronicle Of London, contains an
account, under its head OF "Our Drink
Calendar" of the drunkenness, and ar
rest for drunkenness, OF Church of
England Clergyman, charged with being
drunk recently at Steyning, England.
He was arraigned before the'local police
magistrate There seemed no doubt
about his having been drunk, and hav'
ing caused several complaints from per-
sons into whose houses he had staggered,
asking for lodgings, but was so drunk
that no ono would take him in. AS it
was the prisoners first offense so far as
Steyning was concerned, after proper
counsel and admoniton from the mag
istrate, in consideration OF his clerical
position, he was discharged, and the
hope expressed that he woul not come
there again. 1t will be seen by this dis
graceful incident that alcohol is no re-
specter Of persons; that 1t will make a
clergyman drunk as soon as anybody
else. For clcrgymen and for everybody,
abstinence is wise and safe rule of con-

a Mystified Monkey.

An officer in India gave his tame
monkey lump Of sugar inside a
cOrked bottle OF such stout glass that
it could not well be broken. The
monkey was OF an inquiring mind,
and it nearly killed it. Sometimes,
in an impulse of disgust, it would
throw the bottle away out of its own
reach, and then be distracted until it
was given back to it. At others it
would sit with countenance of most
intense detection contemplating the
bottled sugar, and then, as if pulling
itself together for another effort at
solution, would take up the bottle
afresh, and gaze into it.
1t would tilt it up one way and try
to get the sugar out Of the neck, and
then. suddenly reversing it, try to
catch the sweet morsel as it fell out,
under the impression that it would
capture it by surprise. 1t kept rap
ping its teeth against the glass in
futile bites, and, warming TO the pur-
suit Of the revolving lump, used to tie
itself into regular knots round the
bottle. Fits Of the most ludicrous
melancholy would alternate with
these spasms of furious calculation,
and how the matter would have ended
it is impossible to say.
But the monkey one night got
away, and took the bottle with it,
and it has always been delight to its
former owner to think that whole for
ests full of monkeys have by this time
puzzled themselves into fits over the
great problem OF bottled sugar. What
profound theories these long-tailed
philosophers must have evolved!
What polemical acrinony that bottle
must have provoked! And what
Confucius the original monkey must
have become! A single morning with
such sanhedrim discussing such
matter would surely have satiated
even Swift with satire.

a Woman's Memory.

"Memory, the warder of the brain, {"
says Shakespeare, but with many it
would seem that the full meaning Of
the aphorism is sadly lost. Almost
everyone has some sort OF a memory,
good, bad or Indifferent, as the case
may be, but one person out Of every
fifty has some process or other in

in time To be able to retain in mind
all matters worthy of retention.

cOntlded in gentleman acquaintance
that she was poor at dates, sad

Eetter Prices for Farmers.

The farmers have better prices this
year. But why? inquiries the New York
Tribune. Cnc reason is that the home
demand for all farm products has in
creased, because more laborerS are en-
ployed on this side inStea OF in Europe.
Here they consume American food;
there they consume largely the products
of foreign farms. This movement OF
works and workers TO the United States
in consequence Of the new duties IN
imported goods has been going on for a
year, and scarcely week has passed In
which there has not been recorded the
transfer of one or more important es-

insists that the tariff Is tax and the
consumer pays the tax, a horrible sus-

BIessed Mckinley Prices.

The Democratic free trade liars have
lost their occupation. A year ago the
very air was laden with the cries OF
"higher prices" To hear the Demo

their campaign newspapers was to hear
fantastic tales of prices all going sky

six months everything that the labOring
men buy would be selling for two or
three prices. What has happened?
Just the opposite of that which was pre-
dicted. Prices were never lower than
