SMALL INDUSTRIES.

One of the best evidences that the pre-
vailing enthusiasm for progress in Califor
MIA, is infused with sagacious spirit of
business enterprise, is to be found in the
fact that public attention is being directed
not only to great railroad undertakings,
which will require large capital to carry
them through, but also to the thousand
avenues of local industry where success can
be attained and profits achieved by men of
comparatively small means, if only energy
and good judgment are used.
These evidences come to US from all
sides. The tendency toward the develop
ment of local industries is observable every
where. Scarcely a county in California is
not at the present time the scene of an
active investigation into the means of
diversifying its industry and manufactur.
ing its raw material. The vigor and the
brains of the State are no longer directed
exclusively to booming land and selling
town lots. The impulse now dominant
everywhere is TO provide new employment
for workingmen rather than TO solicit the
incoming of rich people, and while in some
cases there is observable some of the old
time reliance on outside capital coming in
to develop the resources of the community,
in most places there is manifest determi-
nation on the part OF the progressive resi-
dents to make the development themselves
and reap the profit from it.
That the new order of things will prove
more beneficial to California than the by
gone booms is beyond question. There is
more wealth to be gained by developing
the resources of the State and working up
into its most finished forms the raw mate
rial we now send abroad than can possibly
be gained by advertising for immigration.
There is not a county in the State that
does not offer a profitable field for the op-
Grafton of one or more well-managed man
ufacturing industries. When these are
established an increase of immigration will
follow, for wherever the work is the work
ers Will come.
Those who seek the work, moreover, will
not be always men without money. There
are thousands of energetic young men of
small means in the East who are looking
for place to set up for themselves. They
have hesitated to come to California be-
cause they have argued that if California
afforded good field for small factories
the Californians would engage in them. AS
soon as our own people, therefore, have
shown sufficient confidence in the field to
undertake the work, it won't be long be-
fore Eastern men will follow the example.
The day of small industries invariably
precedes the day of great things, and the
surest proof we have that the great things
are not far distant in the future is to be
found in the evidence that the day OF
small industries is at hand.

Jose Grange is dependent therefore not
upon any new facts brought to light, but
upon the evident determination to make
the discussion lead to action. The ap-
pointment of a competent committee to
gather exact and comprehensive data
on the subject sounds like business. 1t is
more than probable the report of the COM
mittee will furnish information from which
sagacious business men can figure out a
profit from the work of putting up fruit
preserves, and if such a showing is made,
the first great step in the enterprise will
have been taken.
1t is certainly only matter of time
when California will manufacture the raw
material which she produces. Her people
are too energetic and too wide-awake to go
on forever picking up penny profits on
raw fruits and allowing Eastern manufac-
turers to pick up dollars from preserving
them. The tendency of modern industry
is to join the factory to the field. The
cotton factories are rapidly going south
ward to where the cotton is grown, and by
the some economic process the fruit
preserving factories of the country Will
tend to seek location as near as possible
to the orchards of California. The report
of the San Jose Grange, by making evident
the profit of the industry under present
conditions in California, may materially
hasten this result, and for that reason 1T
will be awaited with more than ordinary
interest

AN IMPORTANT COMMITTEE.

1t is reported by the San Jose Mercury
that at the meeting of the Grange in that
city last week committee was appointed
to make thorough investigation of the
amount of imported jams, jellies, MARINA
ladies' and other fruit preserves sold in that
city, and also of the possibility of es-
tablishing the manufacture of such pro-
ducts in San Jose.
The committee has apparently promis-
ing field to work on, for during the dis
cussion of the subject in the Grange it was
stated that preserved fruits and iellies of
well-known brands from England are
daily being sold in large quantities in San
Jose, as well as elsewhere throughout
California and the East, at prices far in
excess of anything that can be realized for
goods of the same and even better quality
that are put up here. 1t was said more
over that the trade obtained by the foreign
packers is the very best and the most prof
table. The goods are sold to the most
wealthy people and those who do not care
anything about price so long as they get
what is choice, or is supposed to be choice.
The facts contained in these statements
are not new to Californians. Attention
has been called to them repeatedly. The
importance of the discussion in the San

SCIENCE OR SENTIMENT.

A breach of promise case is attracting
considerable attention in London because
it involves a controversy between science
and sentiment, with the law acting as
arbiter between them and deciding in
favor of sentiment. The facts of the case
are very simple and were admitted by both
Sides A physician named Smell. who was
engaged to be married to Miss Proud,
broke off the engagement and refused to
marry her because he had discovered that
the young lady's mother died of con-
sumption and the girl herself was tainted
with the disease. The defense claimed
that man has right to guard his pros
pective children from hereditary disease,
and that when he found the woman to
whom he was engaged afflicted with that
malady he was justified in refusing to
marry her. The Jury took an opposite
view of the case, gave damages for $1,000,
and now London is engaged in discussing
whether the jury did right or wrong.
People who look at marriage from scien-
tifc point of view rather than from that of
sentiment contend that the physician
acted rightly, not only for himself but for
the girl and for humanity, in breaking the
engagement 1n6y assert IL 10 ne d QuIy
imposed upon men and women to take
every possible precaution against bringing
unhealthy children into the world. The
transmission of hereditary disease from
one generation to another is not only a
curse to the children born under the
malady, but is a menace to society at large.
1t is claimed that no physician would adj
wise healthy man or woman to marry
consumptive, and, therefore, that the rea-
son and commonsense of the community
should prevent such marriages as far as
possible.
Against these arguments of science there
is urged every consideration which appeals
to sentiment and affects the emotions of
men. The jury evidently acted upon the
belief that marriage is matter of love
and not of science and that man has no
right to break his pledge with woman
simply because he wishes to fulfill some
fancied duty to possible posterity. The
Judge agreed with the jury and refused
stay of execution. The law was on the
side of sentiment, but the defendant in
paying his 1900 i'll damages has the COM
fort of knowing that his case has made
him noted as physician, and that a large
number of people believe he acted right.

good men were wont to look to the CALL
and the Bulletin to oppose iniquity, and
now that the new management of the
former takes up these great questions in a
manly way it is matter for public congrat-
ulation. Let us hope that our other
great dailies will fall into line. These are
great days for California. Awakening to
new energy in material things, this great
State shows unmistakable signs of the be-
ginnings of a new moral life. 1t ought to
stir the blood of every son and daughter to
nobler endeavor. Let the people who love
righteousness and hate iniquity rally to
the standard OF those who would lead US
out to nobler things. We extend our hand
to the editor of the CALL and hope he will
go on. A daily newspaper that will stand
for righteousness in San Francisco will not
be second in popularity and power.

ors Home in this city. The English patent was
described as all arrangement not unlike an
umbrella, which was thrust through the shot
hole and then opened, staying the flow OF
water.
In the event of the shot striking at the coal
bunkers it would be difficult matter TO get at
the opening from the interior of the boat, but
the Winchester plug makes provision for this.
The working of the plug can be readily under
stood from the cut. The shot hole having been
located, the plug is lowered over the side of the
boat to the vicinity of the opening, and the
suction of the water will take hold of the air
ball and carry the plug into its place The
braces have already been adjusted to the size
and thickness of the plate, and they automat-
ically open after the cover has adjusted itself
over the break, and hold the plug in place.
This will almost stop the flow entirely If the
hole can be got at from the inside the plug can
be frightened up by means of a nut and screw,
entirely stopping the inflow of water.
