A LAND OF PLENTY.

A curious Illustration Of the superabund-
ance of natural wealth of this coast presents
Itself to the eye of him who, when he takes
his walks abroad, perambulates the water
front. Ali through the summer months he
sees carloads of overripe fruit dumped into
the bay. sometimes many tons in a week.
AZ other times he observes a similar dona-
ton of fine vegetables to the use OF the
fishes. Cart after cart backs up to the
waters edge and tips out eaulifiowers, as
paFagus. lettuce, potatoes, carrots, egg
plants and melons. at the present time be
can observe the waters of the bay near the
water front whitened with the corpses of
herrings. which are thrown over from the
boats Of fishermen. These distinctions of
human food are generally inspired by con-
siderations of the public health The fruit
and vegetables which are sacrificed are so
far advanced in decay that they have ceased
TO be marketable. A similar reason &C.
counts for the destruction of our overabun-
dant fish supply. But il is curious to note
that we inhabit region which produces so
much food that We are forced to destroy
part of i from inability to consume the
whole
A surplus of fish supply occurs perodi-
cally in many places. On the coast of Long
Island and Massachusetts the menhaden
are used to manure the fields. and there are
times when the mackerel catch is so large
that portion of it is thrown In with the
menhaden in order to maintain the price Of
the remainder. In the Bay of Biscay sar-
dine fisherman who makes an unusually
large haul is sometimes disguised to ind,
when he runs his boat ashore, that his
brother fishermen have all been equally
lucky, and that some of the catch must be
sacrificed in order not to glut the market.
In some Of the northern rivers on this coast
the salmon sometimes run so thick that If
the fishermen took all they could they
would keep the price down below the cost
Of their labor. But il is not easy to recall a
place where glut of fish is accompanied or
followed by an equally oyerpowsring giut
OF delicious fruit and wholesome vegetables,
That the glut and the consequent destruc-
ton of food is wlllfnl waste goes without
saying. There is no necessity for either.
The art Of preserving animal and vegetable
food has now been brought to such perfec-
Jion that all really wholesome foods can be
kept almost indefinitely In properly con-
stTncted buildings, with constant tenn
perature lowered artifcially below the point
at which decay sets in, all kinds of food
beef, mniioD. fish, butter. vegetables. and
fruits-can be kept for months, and will be
found as fresh and as full Of flavor when
they are taken out as well as when they
were put in. The meats viii be improved
by keei ing. And the cost Of refrigerating
is not large. Natural ice is now selling in
this city at S. and Sc ton; artificial ice can
be supplied in large quantities for less

THE COTTON sPINNERs' STRIKE.

The Manchester cotton spinners are on a
strike to prevent q FIVE percent reduction
Of wages. The proposed reduction Of wages
is not to compensate manufacturers for a
tax on raw material nor to counterfeit any
other object of protective policy. 1t is to
enable England to retain her hold on the
markets OF the world. Employers contend
that reduction in the cost Of goods is neces-
sary to enable them TO compete with the
III manufacturers of other nations. American
factory operatives who voted against a pro-
tectsye policy at the last election can see in
this strike the kind OF an entertainment
they are invited to. Here are England,
Germany, France, Belgium and other
cheap-labor countries engaged In strife to

to the descriptive tag which was pasted on

his long trip, the creature was caught In
one OF the fresh water lakes OF the Japanese

The electric railroad is evidently only on
its trial toward success. 1t would be pity
if nothing better were discoyerRble than
the trolley system, because it adds to the
annoyances of noise so worrying to the
nervous system. In New York it is an
nounced that storage battery electric car
has been invented capable of travelling
twenty miles an hour at cost of cents
per mile. Apparently this leaves an abUn-
dant margin between working expenses and
earnings. If the storage method Of propul-
sion permits journeys TO be made with
minimum of noise then the public are to be
congratulated upon the reduction of one of
life's miseres. The noises OF the streets
are to-day a terror TO every person endowed
with sensitive nerves.
good deal of iIl-feeling has arisen in
North Carolina because four men, or rather
buys. have had their sentences to death for
murder comnuted to Imprisonment. But
four other men implicated in the same
crime have been hanged. and considering
the ages of the prisoners whose lives have
been spared there does not seem TO be any
reason 10 regret the exercise of clemency.
The ages Of these prisoners varied from -
TO 16. There is some hope that they may
reform their ways and forget the vices that
drew them into crime. 1t is unfortunate.
however. that the course Of justice should
be 30 spasmod in the United States. To
hang four men for the death Of one is Dra-
CONAN.
A British vessel yesterday arrived 10 port
after voyage of over 200 days from Liver
pool. The Templemore had been given up
as lost. and on the fresh issues of insurance
the underwriters have gained a good haul.
1t was off the Horn that the Templemore
had her chief battle with head winds and
heavy SEAS Otherwise the voyage was quite
placid. When the Nicaragua canal is COM
pleted there will be no more of the tempes-
tu0us voyages around the Storm beaten
cape. Towage between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans will be the rule for sailing
vessels, and steamers will perform their
own mileage. In many senses the Nicaragua
canal will prove of inestimable benefit to the
commerce of all countries.
