A UNIVERSAL DISEASE.
Condition of the Laboring People in
England.

OOAANAS@OA ~ S-AO SOpAO III
England.
The existence in our great cities of
masses of unemployed or half-employed
workers is admitted to be a national dam
ger, and the question how To deal with
them to be the most urgent and difficult
political problem of the day. If modern
civilization is destined to be swept away,
this is the class which is most likely TO
act the part which the barbarians did to-
ward the Roman Empire. In the organ
lied trades the inevitable want of work
in slack times or IN the intervals between
the close OF one job and the beginning of
another is dealt with by the unions. The
worker, for the time out of employment,
is subsidized out of the common fund; he
was formerly helped to find work by be-
ing prov ed with the means to travel
about in search of it; now the more ra-
tional mode is adopted of indicating to
him, by means of information supplied
by the branches of the union, the partic-
ular place in which work is likely to be
found; his distress and difficulty are thus
reduced to a minimum.
But in the unorganized trades, which /
cannot often enough impress upon the
the reader contain the vast majority of
the workers, the malady of want of work
RACES unchecked. Invention of machin-
cry and changes of fashion are continu-
ally swelling the ranks of the tun-
W
longer wanted. OF the men who used to
make dressing-cases in London most
have left the trade to which they were
brought up, and the residue drag out a
miserable existence in it, because dress
ing-cases have gone out of fashion and
dressing-bags have come in. The young
laborers from the country leave the till
age OF the soil, in which they have no
prospect but the work house, for the bet
ter wages which the town affords They
better their condition by displacing older
workers, and when they grow older are
themselves displaced in turn. There are
season industries in great cities, like dock
aud warehouse labor, where long periods
during which the workers are not re-
quired is a regular incident of the calling.
The misery of those who are half en-
ployed is aggravated by the chronic
poverty of many in full work. 'Compe-
tition and the demand of the public for
the cheapest article have produced the
great sweated industries of East Lon
don, the cabinet trade and the ready-ma
clothing trades, in which thousands of
people work at barely su ubsistence wages.
! That this mass of half-starved, half-em-
ployed workers is a national danger no
one will deny. 1t exists in American and
Australian cities as we'll, where one
would have thought the abundant virgin
soil afforded an mex haustible outlet for
surplus population. 1t seems universal
disease of the modern city.-Sir John +.
Gorst, NJ. p, in North American Review.

Speed of Seventy Miles an Hour a Rec
ord of Daily Occurrence.
w. G. II. Church of Northampton
writes: "The distance from New York
to Chicago as traversed by the Pennsyl-
vania Qimited). is not $40 miles, but 7l3
only. This reduces the average speed
from A to 4l4 miles an hour. The best
long distance train in this country is the
P. NJ. from Euston, covering 800 miles
to Aberdeen, in II hours and 80 minutes
This is an average of 45s, including stops,
or is without them, and the second half
of the journey is over much hilly ground.
For short distances one of the best is
Kings Cross to Sheffield, l62 miles in 8
hours and 10 minutes, which gives over
81 miles an hour with stops, and 521 with
out. If speed, weight, gradients and dis
tance be all taken into consideration,
there is nothing to beat the West Coast
Edinburgh express. Leaving Edinburgh
at l0:l4, it reaches Willesden junction in
s hours and 10 minutes. 3943 miles, thus
averaging over 472 miles an hour with
stops and over 80 without.
AS regards maximum speeds, seventy
miles an hour is of daily occurrence. For
instance, there is scarcely an express
leaving st. Pancras which does not at
tain seventy or over every day in the
week between the thirty-fifth aud forty
ninth miles from London. The Leeds
expresses, in particular. generally attain
a maximum of about seventy-five dur
ing the last four or five miles OF this de-
cline, and occasionally the chronograph
will register speeds of seyenty-eight,
eighty and even eighty-two miles. The
latter | have registered on more than one
occasion, not merely here, but down Shap
on the Northwestern, without experieno-
ing the least ext ira degree of oscillation -

California and Californians have grown
up out of as slight foundation of truth.
What the educational authorities of
San Francisco need to do is to send the
woman out of the department imme-
diately. 1t should have been done long
ago when she was related to the escapade
that resulted in Officer Harper killing
De Greayer. She was in the buggy with
De Greayer, and it was then charged that
she was drunk, but she denied it
strenuously and the matter was passed.
Political pulls are powerful indeed
when such women as these can fasten
themselves upon the department of edu-
cation of the chief city of the State.
There are others, it is limited, in the de-
partment who can be as advantageously
"let out" as can this Dolan woman.

ENGLISH INTERFERENCE.


Sensible people will be quite in accord
with the spirit of Governor Northen's
sharp protest against the proposed visit
of commission of English sentimental
lists to Georgia to Investigate" negro
lynchings. If a lot of our forehanded
Americans who make it their mission in
life to attempt the reformation of all the
world, should send a committee to Eng
land to inquire into white slavery, hu-
man degradation in East London, and the
sins and lusts of the British aristocracy,
it would be considered an impertinent
interference with the affairs of people
capable of attending to their own do
mestic concerns. No less presumptious
is the English commission to the South
ern States of our own country.
If any such self-appointed judges ar
rive we shall not be surprised nor shamed
if the people of the South are so inhos-
pitable as to turn the cold shoulder upon
them, and advise them to seek more
congenial cline. II the English are anx-
ious to get hot upon trail of reform, let
them try for scent in India, and clear
up, if they can, the scandal connected
with the customs the English not only
tolerate there. but condone, and to some
extent promote, that are abhorrent to
humanity.
Our English cousins do not need to
step outside of London to find broad
fields for the exercise of their philan-
thropic longings. If they insist, how
ever, upon this self-imposed task of
lynch-law investigation in the United
States, they should not confine it to the
South, but let the scope of the inquiry
take in the whole country. While we
believe that in the South, owing to the
peculiar relation of the races there in the
past, and the conditions of the present,
the negro is chief sufferer in the courts of
Judge Lynch, the jurisdiction of that
court is neither limited to them nor to
the South country. Even in California
we hang men occasionally without the
regular order of Judge and jury. Com
munities in other States than the South
ern are prone to make justice more certain
than law at times. Deplore the facts as
we may, they remain, and it is useless to
attempt to conceal the humiliating truth.
The proposed investigation is no doubt
the Immediate result of the over-colored
and inhammatory work of the Wells
upon the hearts of English sentimental
lists. and of many genuine reformers no
doubt, that they have been led to believe
that the chief occupation of the whites in
the South is loading shotguns for use
upon negroes, and the looping of hang
mans nooses for the stretching of COL
ored necks.
| No journal has been more earnest or
emphatic in denouncing lynch law and
| lynch-law practices in the South than has
| the RECORD UNION, or has more dill
gently sought to quicken sentiment in
| opposition that will work abandonment
of lawlessness as means to ends just or
| otherwise. But the RECoRD-UNIoN re-
sents the proposed intrusion of English
subjects into the affairs of American citI-
zens. Our country may be, indeed is. a
! field for home mission work in more than
one direction, but it is not in need of for
! eign missionary interference or assist
ance. It's philanthrophy is fully equal to
home needs for it.

There are 832 pages. Lots of maps

map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford sI6 and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War. After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de-
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was so inter-
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was SO COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, "a
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better

some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81

each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all

TO THE State Board of Trade Rev. Mr.
Perkins of Alameda has reported an
economic plan for shipping California
fruit to the East without refrigeration by
ice-packed cars. The Secretary of the
board has been instructed to investigate
the claim. If it is what is claimed for it
a great boon to horticulture is at hand.
Removal of a good part of the heavy cost
of refrigeration will mean to California
fruit-growers profit in nearly all cases
where there is now loss on shipments. 1t
will mean less tonnage to the output of
power, and therefore degree of economy
in that direction. It will mean lessened
necessity for speed probably. and greater
length of keeping capacity for the fruit.
The idea is entertained by those familiar
with it that the Perkins system is sound
in principle and practical in application.
If so we are upon the eve of revolution
of considerable importance in fruit mar
keting.

IT is said that some Democrats, know
ing that there is little likelihood that the
party can nominate man for Congress
in this district who can beat Grove L.
Johnson, the Repu blican candidate, are
going to propose to the Democratic Con-
gressional Convention that is to meet here
on Saturday that it indorse the Populist
candidate, Burdette Cornell. If these
gentlemen can find no suitable man in
their own party, why not indorse Grove
L. Johnson? He would certainly more
nearly represent the views of the rank
and file of the Democratic party than
Cornell, for the majority of them are not
anarchists or socialists, and do not be-
lieve in the doctrines enunciated by the
Populist candidate and mis- party. They
believe. with President Cleveland, in the
enforcement of the laws of the land,
while the Populists are bowling from one
end of the country to the other against
the action of the Government in enforc-
ing the laws. How could any honest,
consistent Democrat vote for Populist?

What Should the Farmer Sell =?

By Our Agricultural Editor.
As rule, the farmer should do lit
tie manufacturing for himself upon his
farm, and by invoking the aid of his
cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry, convert
the grain and grass OF the farm into
higher and more concentrated pro
ducts. Instead of selling hay, corn,
peanuts, potatoes, and other crude
articles that are expensive to trans
port, and which not only sell low, but
take away from the farm SO much and
such valuable elements of fertility, let
the farmer manufacture them into
beef, mutton, bacon, lard, butter, eggs
and such like products, that occupy
little space, cost little to transport, and
which leave the wealth of the soil up
on the farm in the shape of manure.
Peanuts converted into bacon, viii
return the farmer more than three
cents per pound, and leaves the sol
improved. rather than depleted, by
the culture. Corn is worth more than
sixty cents, put into beef, butter OF
eggs. So of every crop almost. Have
it worked up on the farm. Make man
ure to enrich the soil. Keep the wealth
of the soil at home. With your stock
to aid you, become a manufacturer,
and sell nothing in its first form that
you may convert into an article more
concentrated and costly. Sell butter
eggs, beef, bacon, lard and honey, but
keep the waste elements of the crops,
the fertility, where it will do service
for you again and annually.-IndeG

MARRIAGE.

I've seen two cloudlets, sailing near,
Gently approach, and meet, and mingle
And then more beautiful appear
Than when they f1oated lone and single.
I've seen two streamlets long converge,
And run along with merry ringle,
But, when their waters came to merge,
Their song gave:out sweeter jingle.
I've seen two lovers, bright and gay,
And joyous, while remaining single,
But never happy, till the day
Their lives in wedlock came to m1ngle.
I've seen the bachelor and maid,
Who fought life's battles single-handed
Have seen youths roses on them fade,
And then their ship of hope lie stranded
Anon the thought has come to me,
That, if they had but loved and married,
Life would have been an amber sea,
And youthful hopes had not miscarried
No, no twas not our Makers plan
That we should fight our battles single,
But that the woman and the man
Should love- and then in wedlock mlngle
Domestic bliss the sweetest boon
Left unimpaired by Adams sinning
May it be yours from noon to noon,
Who are the welded life beginning!
