RAISES RATS FOR A LIVING.

Arkansas City Man Who Furnishes,
Rodents for "Sporting" Pur-
poses.
Rat culture is something Of which
one tenth OF the world knows little
and the other nine-tenths knows
nothing. Yet right in the center OF
Kansas City there tlourshes a "rat
farm" Down in q dingy basement of
a house on Twelfth street there Is q
wooden box about twelve feet square
and four feet deep, lined with zinc.
The floor OF this box is covered with.
straw. Loaves of bread with the
edges nibbled off and with holes in the
crust litter the straw, together with a
pan OF water and pieces OF cheese GER
tainly old enough to be ranked prime.
There are rats in this box, plenty OF
them. The rodents had nestled all
close together when the outer portal
to their domain was noisily unbolted
recently and the proprietor OF the
"rat farm" cautiously descended the
steep stairway to the cellar, conduct
ing q Times reporter and several
friends. These visitors, too, were
cautious, very, for q missstep would
have sent n man headiong into the
zinc lined box to meet in close quar-
tiers 200 rats OF various dispositions
sizes and color. A light was
struck and i'll an instant the
floor OF straw was undulat
ing in q manner to make the poeti
cal "angry sea" ashamed OF itself
The horde OF rodents, in their hurry
to get the farthest tLess could iron
the light, crowded over each otEe'
and squealed and swirmed themselve
out from under thei: covering to
bare corner. Here was made a pyra
mid OF nearly 200 ~wrigel::tg rats tina

The democrats and Independents voted for
Benton.
The Smith men voted for Kingmsu, as agreed
upon, as did also q number of Anderson men,
but before the vote was declared six men
changed their votes to Benton. and he reached
the highest vote yet cast for any candidate.

THE GEARY ACT GOES BY, THE
BOARD.

:: The residents of the Pacific Coast will
take very little interest in the work of
this Congress hereafter in respect to the
Chinese. The Geary act has been so
amended that the registration feature will
not place much restraint upon incoming
Chinese. The requirement OF white wit
ness to the fact that a Chinaman is law
fully in the country h as been stricken out.
The term "Chinese laborer" has been de-
fined presumably to mean a laborer for
hire. All laborers may enter except those
who propose to work for wages. When
Grover Cleveland was inaugurated he
found an effective anti-Chinese act about
to 60 into effect. That act, supplementing
the preceding acts. covered the whole
ground. We would soon have had an Off
cial list of Chinese who had right to be
in the country, and by the terms of the
act all others would be subject to depoIta-
ton. We had the means of stopping an
increase of Chinese population, and were
in q way to profit by the natural law which
entails decrease. Mr.. Cleveland suspended
this law in the face Of decision by the
Supreme Court that it was constitutional.
A. Congress which takes orders from the
White House has now, under pretense of
: extending the period of registration, made
such. other changes as the Chinese de-
nlanded. 1t does not make much differ
ence what becomes of the bill now.

fervor to the rivalry of the sects. He
drew attention to the historical fact that
the disorders which called Luther and
Loyola into the field of reform had grown
up during period when religious contro-
versy was dormant. and he apprehended
that fusion of all the Christian churches
would be followed by an era of Indifferent
ism and apathy which might repeat the
scandal of Tetzel. There was so much
wisdom in this view that DR.. Dix and bis
colaborers abandoned their enterprise.
The Chicago parliament did not aim at
bringing about a uniformity of faith. 1t
sought simply to compare creeds. not to
establish new creeds. 1t brought together
men of contradictory beliefs. not for pur-
poses Of controversy, but in order to pro-
mote kindly tolerance and cOnsiderate for
bearance. Such design commends itself
to the highest praise. The Parliament OF
Religions is not the least OF the good
works by which the Worlds Fair will be
remem bered.

HILL AND THE PARTY.

: The mugwump papers are trying TO
create diversion in the matter OF the
nomination of Judge Maynard from Cleve-
land to Hill. When a good thing is done
the mugwuTps say Cleveland did it;
when bad thing is done, Hill is the doer.
The Boston Herald now lays all the blame
Of the candidacy of Maynard on Hill.
Cleveland has no influence with the party
just at presnut. The Herald says:
The nomination OF Maynard does not depend
upon whether the voters want him for their
candidate; it depends upon whether Hill
directs tnat 1t shall be made. IL Hill DEGREES
that it shall be done il Will be done. 1t Is en-
tirely understood that nothing can prevent this
nomination but fear OF the defeat of Maynard
at the polls; but this fear will not operate to
have the influence with the Democratic voters
who make nominations. 1t will have no weight
at all with them against the mandate of Hill.
Ii this kind of talk did not come from
Boston it would be described by a strong
word with three letters. There is not a
glimmer of sense in it. There are 1,2O0, 900
voters In New York, of whom possibly
one-half will vote the Democratic ticket
Very few of the 100000 Democrats have
any particular regard for MIR. Hill. Can
1t be that there are not enough honest and
indspe ndent voters in the party to snow
under candidate who has been described
by a responsible journal as an Infamous
person? Has not Mr.. Cleveland enough
influence In the party TO induce portion
of them TO vote against a notoriously unfit
candidate? The Boston Herald is jealous
advocate of Mr.. Cleveland, and probably
desires to show that he cannot help the
nomination of Judge Maynard. But the
Herald ascribss to Boss Hill powers he
does not possess.
The morning call., 1893-10-04
GOOD TIMES IN CALIFORNIA.

The unemployed may find it hard to be-
lieve that times are fairly good in this
State, but nevertheless facts speak for
themselves. The agricultural products
are as whole greater than ever before.
The fear of free wool has caused stagna.
tion in that industry, but in most others
the product is above the average. The
Los Angeles E1preSs says:
Despite complaints of dull times, the ship
ments by rail from California this year have
been larger than ever before In the history Of
the State. On Saturday last the eastward move
ment Of freight over the Southern Pacific sys.
tenn was larger than on any other day since the
road was built. This was chiefly by the north.
ern route. From year TO year The shipments OF
California products eastward grow larger. as a
rule, ana the balance OF trade is now said TO be
in favor Of this State as regards railroad traffic.
Early In the summer the prices Of fruit were
low, but there has been great Improvement In
the Eastern markets since the season opened,
and of late the growers have been getting salts
factory returns. The fruit crops have been
large in all parts of the State, and so with most
other products.
The Express speaks of agricultural
branches of industry only. Important as
these are they do not utilize the labor ele-
ment which lies at the basis of States
prosperity to the extent to be desired. We
need factories to supplement agriculture.
The State cannot grow rich very fast ex-
porting $40.0O0,000 OF agricultural pred
ucts and importing almost the same
amount of manufactured goods. There
are villages in New England within ten
miles of abandoned farms where every
man and woman seems to be in comfort
able circumstances. They have pleasant
homes. wear good clothes. and provide
themselves with luxuries in reason. The
cause of their prosperity is in steady work
at remunerative wages. Their earnings
in a day may be less than steady mon
command in the agricultural districts of
California. but the average for the year is
greater. 1t is in these industries that the
secret of New England prosperity may be
found. Factories furnish work for all
ages and conditions that are fitted to work.
Among adults there is little dependence
upon each other. One worker is not
loaded down with two or three who can
find nothing to do. In these districts
boots and shoes are made for Californians
to wear. In the cities they are making
cigars for Californians to smoke. Nature
having given them comparatively poor
soil and harsh climate, they prosper in
drudgery which the res idents of this more
favored State disdain to do. In time,
when our people buckle down to work, we
shall have the varied industries of the
East to add to the wealth produced in our
fields and orchards
