BACK TO THE LAND.
bakersfield Californian.
A number of Eastern communities are
solving the problem of the unemployed
in what is really the only feasible man
ner. This is IN seuding those who are
unable to obtain employment at their
customary occupation back to the sol
and give them a chance TO at least raise
the food necessary for the maintenance of
themselves and their families ''by the
sweat OF their brows" in the cultivation
OF that soil.
The example was first set by Detroit.
The city officials obtained temporary
control of bodies OF unoccupied land in
and adjacent to the municipality. These
were dinided into small allotments, say
half an acre TO a family. The necessary
tools and seed were supplied. the first Ueing
loaned and last donated outright There
being no especial art or mystery about
the raising OF garden truck the average
Californian to the contrary notwithstand
lng), many OF the unemployed took hold
OF the opportunity with q will, planted
the seed, cultivated the soil and in due
time reaped a most satisfactory harvest
and one which did much to tide over the
following winter season. Many families
subsi5ted for several months chiefly upon
the products of the small tracts thus Gull
tlvated. and 1t was demonstrated that a
most surprising quantity OF vegetables
could Ue produced even by tyros from a
very limited area.
WATER POWER WANTED.
Lorovillf Mercury.I
Enough water power runs to waste
past Oroville every day to turn all the
factory wheels in California. When this
and other advantages that nature has
given US are utilized, then will dawn our
greatest prosperity. 1t may be a long
time coming, but it Will come sooner or
later, though may be not until those who
are now hopeful are dust. Some day
people will realize that it is folly OF the
sheerest nature to grow fruits of every
kind, sacrifice them at slight returns, and
then import ali the canned goods and
jellies and half-dried truit we raise: TO
grow wool, export it, aud then import
woolen goods; to produce hides
and skins in great mum bers, ship
them east and bring back boots
and shoes; to have vast forests of the
finest tim mber, within thirty miles, yet itn-
port half the finished lumber and all the
manufactured woodenware. 1t is such
things as these that keep country poor.
God hasten the day when OroviiIe will
realize what nature has done for her, and
when her people learn how to lay hold of
the gifts.

Them-Impassioned Denunciation Of Such
Embellishments ~ Texas Il Wont to Give
and u WORK Of the Mob Both North
and South.
Boston, Nov. 13.-Nearly 1900 people
attended q mass meeting in Faneuil hall
last night to protest against the practice
Of lynching and burning negroes in south
ern and other states. The meeting was
held under the auspices Of various colored
societies Of Boston and vicinity. The
speeches were by both white and colorsd
men and were vigorously applauded.
Mayor Edwin U. Curtis prcsid ed, and
among the speakers were Congressman
Elijah A. Morse, Judge Edward Walker
and Father Scully. At the conclusion Of
the speeches Hon. George T. Downing pre-
sented the following declaration which was
adopted unanimously:
"Wc condemn without any reservation
the lynching, the mutilating, the roasting
alive of men and women, now commonly
practiced In parts Of our country; SO COM
monty practiced as to arrest the attention
of the world. We condemn this God-defy-
feelings-as civilized beings. as citizens
with patriotism moving us, as Christians.
Disgrace Of the American Republic.
Eve are, as human civilized beings, as
proud Americans, made to hold our heads
down in shame because of the almost daily
reports which reach US of beings born in
the image Of God thrust into consuming
fires with all the consequent agonies, with
the outraged piteOusly cntreating their
hcartless tormentors for morcy, protesting
their innocence even while in the very
jaws of death, while gazing imploringly-
that is If their eyes have not been gouged
out-upon men, women and children as
sembled from miles around to witness and
gloat over Gods image scoffed at while
writhing in agony. We cmphatically
state that we would not stand in tho way
Of just and full punishment Of all
crimes, but the law of the land must be
respected in melting out such punishment;
all pcrsnns charged with crimes are en-
titled to fair trial before jury of their
peers.
Massachusetts, Calls . Halt.
1.-The hcartless, bloodthirsty. disregard Of
the supreme law of the land must cease;
Massachusetts declares it; she calls upon
all lovers of law and order all over the ma
ton to rise in their might and majesty and
say amen to the declaration. She takes
no part in the falsehood that the negro
race is more immoral than are other races;
that they are rapists 1t is her firm con-
victiOn that the charge is false; that it is
manufactured to appeal to sentiment
calculated to cover up and palliate to a
great extent the burning alive Of black
men-the real design being concealed,
which is to crush the lawful growing aspi.
rations manifcsting themselves among
black men.
This Has . Smack Of War.
Eve invoke the uncompromising> spirit
Of Garrison, of Phillips, of Sumner, of
Andrew; and in their names to these de-
flers Of God and humanity we cry out to
stop this brutality which darkens our ma.
tion's fair name, adding that if it be not
stopped the impctuous spirit of Crispus
Attacks and of John Brown--which is
still marching on-will, in its march, leap
Into action"
