The Democracy promised the work.
ingmen cheaper goods, constant EN-
ployment, higher wages, shorter hours
of labor and general prosperity, if the
Democrats could get control Of the Gov
ernment. Well, they got it. They have
been in full possession and power fo,
more than five months. and what il
the consequence? All their rose-colored
promises have proved delusive except
ing the shorter hours of labor. Indeed.
the hours of labor have been so much
shortened that hundreds of thousands
of the deluded workingmen have no la,
Dor at all. Are they going to be fooled
again this year?

three times that number are closely
connected with it and interested in its
prosperity. The threat of tariff changes
made by the Democracy, by which all
barriers against the influx of the pro-
ductions of cheap foreign labor are
to be thrown down, keeps all that vast
army in suspense as to what the future
is to be, and no permanent betterment
of affairs will come until the worst is
known. There is no necessity for anv
change. and there ought to be no change

TAKE counsel with reason and the
higher nature as to what to admire, and
carefully shut out the subtle influence
of self, as it tries to interfere in the
matter and create prejudice in whatever
direction may seem most likely to prove
to its own advantage. Cultivate the
habit of admiring generously and freely
whatever is excellent, and distrust and
discourage the depreciatory tendency,
as intrinsically petty, and leading to de-
terioration of character.

A WISE man hath his foibles as well
as fool; but the difference between
them is, that the foibles of the one are
known to himself, and concealed from
the world; the foibles of the other are
known to the world. and concealed from
himself. The wise man sees those frail-
ties in himself, which Others cannot; but
the fool is blind to those blenishes in
his character, which are conspicuous to
everybody else. Whence it appears that
self knowledge is that which makes the
main difference between wise man and
a fool, in the moral sense of that word.

THE CITY OF FEKING.
A Broken Shaft Responsible for tho De-
Law in Her Arrival.

SAN Francisco. Feb. 6.-The City of
Peking has been sighted eighteen miles
out. The news was telephoned all over
the city this morning by the Merchants
Exchange. The news spread with incred-
ibe rapidity, and the exchange rooms
were soon crowded by friends and relatives
of those on board of the now long over
due steamer, as well as the merchants
and others interested in her welfare. all
anxious to learn the details of the Peking's
trouble. They were disappointed when
informed that she would not get into port
for several hours, probably not until
o'clock. 1t was nearly 9o'clock this morn
Ing when the lookout at PointLobos sighted
the Picking and little later it was seen
that she was in tow of the tug boat
Vigiiant. The Vigilant did not go out in
quest of the Peking. but was stationed out
near the Farralones waiting for tow.
The fact that the steamer San Juan. which
started yesterday in search of the Peking,
missed her, and that the overdue vessel
had come near enough to be picked up by
The Nlgilant, would indicate that the de-
lay had been caused by trouble with her
machinery and that the vessel had pro-
eeeded slowly under sail.
The City of Peklng left Yokohama for
San Francisco January 10 and was due
here January "a For the first few days
after she was due il was thought she mad
been delayed by head winds. but as the
Gays went by and the steamer did not ar
rive the alarm for her safety was aroused.
The insurance on her went up as high as 10
per cent, and those who had friends and
relatives on board, hunted the newspaper
Offices and Merchants Exchange TO obtain
TIC first news of her. Yesterday the
Pacific Mail steamship San Juan started
ont III search of the Picking. and unless
oyertaken and notified of her arrival here,
viii proceed to Honolulu and thence TO
Yokohama. The Picking. in tow of the
Nigilant and Active. signaled from the
head that her delay was caused by trouble
with her machinery. All were well on
board. The City of Peking did not get
into the harbor till late in the afternoon.
Capt SearIes. in his report. says the
feking sailed from Yokohama on January

zard-Scarcity OF Feed.
WESTMINSTER, B. c., Feb. 6.-ISpecial. L
Reports from Ashcroft say that cattle
losses in that section will be very heavy.
The whole trouble has been caused by the
December cold snap, when cattle were
rounded up and given food and shelter.
With the return of warm and spring-like
weather in January, the cattlemen. whose
supply OF hay was limited, allowed their
bands to go ont on the range again. and
they drifted a considerable distance in
some cases. When the present winter
weather suddenly swept over the coun-
try the cattle could not be driven in owing
to heavy snow.
Ranchers. wherever possible, are draw
ing feed to cattle and expect to save many
by this means. Feeding will shortly con
sumo all the hay they have on hand and
those who can afford it are ordering largely
from dealers in this city, for immediate
shipment. The Kamloops Sentinel, of
Saturday, referring to the disastrous
storm, says:
Until the weather moderates the extent OF
losses to the ranchers of this district will not be
known. but that cattle are dying by hundreds,
II not thousands. every day cannot be doubted.
