The presence in the senate of Q man
named Walsh from the state OF Georgia
recalls laughable incident in the life Of
another man of the sans name in the
house Of representatives, more than
forty years sgo. Mike Walsh published
q paper whose Office was located in q
cellar and hence it was called the Sub
terranean. 1t is generally believed to
have been q collaboration between
Walsh and George Wilkes, who died
about eight years ago, but it fairly
bubbled over with wit and forcible
satire. Mike was elected to congress
and, on one occasion, while the appro-
priation bill was under consideration, a
Georgia member Of the house moved an
amendments to it by which $4,000 was to
be given for opening and making ma
viRable a small stream Of water tributary
to the ChsttA borchee. After descanting
some time upon the great results likely
to follow from the opening out of that
stream and the great agricultural re-
sources OF the country drained by it, he
said, at flows past the city of Carlisle,
and prior to my election to this honor
able body. was mayor OF that CITY,"
Mike Walsh was on his feet in q minute.
Mr.. Speaker" says he. II have never
been in Georgia and l know nothing
whatever OF the agricultural products of
tbs section Of country described in the
Eentleman's speech. but must say that
represent the Eighth ward in New
York; and I'd rather be a lsmp-post in
New York than to be mayor OF any city
in Georgia" Mike sal down amid
roars of laughter and the bill passed
without the Georgian's amendment.

THE CORN AND THE HUSKS.

There are two distinct classes of what
The producers and the spectators. The
former, by labor, industry and enter
prise create wealth; the latter create no
wealth, but devote their energies to OBJ
tanning wealth which has been created
by others. All the wealth OF the world,
by whemsoever held, ia the result OF the
operations of the producing classes. The
speculator tolls not, neither does he spin,
but he is arreyed n the products OF toll.
Without those products he would have
nothing. Ths benefits derived from pro.
duction inure, it may be said. fret, to
the produccel, and, Isxt, to the whole
community. The mere speculator con-
fers no concrete benefit whatever upon
the public, the whole end of his
exertions being benefit to himself
1t is for that object that he seeks
to appropriate the products OF
others industry. Instead of promoting
the welfare OF others, the aim OF the
Bpeculator is rather to pull others down
In that way alone he prospers. A pure
speculstor is poor specimen OF human.
ty. The producer, on the contrary, ia &
benelactor OF mankind. 1: is he that
makes two blades of grass grow where
one grew before. His calling in any ca
pacity is honorable, whether it be that
of the wage-earner or mill-ownsr. As to
the mere speculator, his career is lesa
commendab!e than that OF the producer.
Labor is honorable and industry always
com mendsble. They benefit every body.
Idleness and prodi2ality are disrep-
utable, and should be 80 branded by
every wellwisher of his country. The
Epeculator doubtless serves turn in
the economic plan; but whilst the pro.
ducer has attended to his work, the
former has Bcbemed so we'll that ne has
appropriated to himself the corn raiaed
by the producer and left him the husk.

way" said the reporter. "for most men
who come here from Colorado think, or
affect TO think, that We have reached
the summit OF our prosperity as fruit
producing people; and that the fruit in
dustTy can only be made to pay here
after by the strictsst economy and the
closest watching OF small details"
BAH" retorted the man from Pixies
Peak. "Do you know it really makes
me tired to hear fellows croak in that
key? Such people are guided only by
the past, which we are outgrowing very
rapidly. They make no allowance for
the progress of American taste, undsr
which the luxuries of 40 years ago have
become the neceHsRries of today. Take
your oranges, for instance. Forty years
ago boy was lucky TO get two OF them
in a month. Now he eats dozen every
ten days. Fruit has become ss essen
tial in every household as -four or pork,
and you are not confined to oranges
alone, for your peaches are excellent,
and ss for apricots, there lie no other
part of America that is in it, with
Southern Californis."
YOU'RE q man that has been in
banking business and used 10 the
handling of other peoples money--how
does the city OF Los Angeles impress
you?" asked the scribe.
"a very able-bodied looking place
indeed, amply competent to maintain
the commercial prestige she has estAb-
lished for hereelf. Oh, we know more
about you than you do about US. We
not only get all our fresh fruit from you,
but we also get our garden vegetables
from you and very large portion of
our saltwater fish. Yes, you've got q
very handsome city here, and one that
has a great commercial future. There
is time for it to grow, and the year 1000
will see that the four greatest OF Ameri-
can cities will be New York, Chicago,
Denver and Los Angeles
That is quite startling prophecy,
Mr.. Bailey"
"Well, I'm not a prophet for revenue
that is, j am prophet. I'm not
working at my trade iust at present, but
while it may sound odd to you that a
man should predict Los Angeles larger
city than San Francisco, yet stranger
things have happened. You can refaem-
per when San Francisco was nearly as
big as Chicago, but where is. it now2
Not one-fiIth as big. II Chicago could
on,strip San Francisco five to one. why
should not Los Angeles outstrip her
three to one? Your delightful climate
is bringing in men of capital all the
time, and many of them are taking up
residences here, and You may rest as
sursd that their money will not long lie
idle. If they can't lind channels for its
investment they will make them."
