FowIers remarks should set us all to
thinking. California can never prosper as
she should if one of her benefcent enter
prises is conducted at the expense OF an
other equally benefcent. If any fault OF
management in the marketing of green
fruits forces growers to dry their product
and thus iniure the raisin industry, clearly
it is the duty of raisin-growers to unite
with the orchardists in their efforts to find
a green-fruit market. In other words. all
the branches of horticulture bear SO close
Though not always evidently relation one
to another, that it is the duty of all to CO.
operate in every possible way to the adj
vancement Of their interests.

IMMIGRATION AND LABOR.

Improving business conditions in the United
States will be likely to bring rising OF the
tide OF immigration, which has fortunately
been at quite low ebb during the past two
years. The Republican Congress which meets
next December could perform no act which
would more fully merit aud. receive the APP
prevail OF the American people than to take up
the immigration question and deal with it
wisely but firmly. The feod-gates have long
been open too wide. The time to swing them
closer together is at hand.-Los Angeles Times.
But why stop with restricting the immigra-
ton OF Chinese and japanese? Why not re-
strict all foreign immigration, for q while at
least! Nearly quarter of q million people
came to the United States during the year end
ing June 80, most of them to compete with
American working people. Why were they
permitted to come, when there are so many of
our own citizens who cannot find employment

THE TRAINING OF CHILDREN.
Mrs. Sarah b. Cooper Se1f-Govern-
ment for the Young.

ment for the Young.
AT the First Congregational Church last
evening DR.. Brown and Mrs. Sarah B.
Cooper occupied the pulpit jointly, speak
ing to the subject, 1.-THE Child and the
School,"
DR.. Brown took up but brief portion of
the evening. He contrasted the differing
conditions of child life in ancient and mod
ern times, illustrating by the statement
that in the works of the great artist, Praxi-
teles, no real child faces are seen, though
cupids are depicted, whereas recently in
st. Louis small painting of four ragged
urchins brought $4,000. Another illustra-
ton was set forth in the changed methods
of biographers, in that those who told of
the lives of great men of ancient times paid
little attention to the period of childhood,
while modern biographers consider that
the incidents in the child-life of the great
have the utmost significance. He closed
changed conditions began when Jesus
said: "Suffer the little children to come
unto me and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of heaven"
Mrs. Cooper's address was long and evil
IDENTIFY carefully thought out. 1t dealt
principally with the religious training OF
the young, and in it she urged parents to
make religion attractive 10 tHe utIic ohSs,
since religion that is hateful to child
is bad religion to start out with. The
mistakes wherein children go wrong, she
urged, were more often the result OF igno-
rance than of total depravity. A babe was
little bundle of nothing, except capable
ties, Because a child knew nothing Of
arithmetic, was no reason that it should
be considered wholly wanting in arith-
metical faculty. So also because it did
wrong was no sign of total depravity. The
children must be educated on moral lines
as well as upon literary and scientific ones,
and she urged that inasmuch as the OBJ
ject of all education was the selfgovern-
ment of the individual, children should be
allowed a proper opportunity for learning
to govern themselves. The parents should
be gentle with the children and wait as
patiently for the soul to grow to ripe age
as they did for the body.

George H. Latimer, who was once fugitive
slave, celebrated the seventy-ffth anniversary
of his birth last week in Lynn, Mass. Mr.. Lati-

the fugitive slave law, and the proceedings
that were subsequently, begun for his return to
his former master were vigorously contested
by Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison
and other famous abolitionists at a public
meeting held in Faneuil Hall. After bitter
fight Latimer was finally liberated by the pay
ment of $500. which was raised by DR.. Samuel
D. Caldwell, then paster of fremont Temple.
Governor Davis subsequently refused to grant
extradition papers, which had beeu demanded
by Lieutenant-Governor Gregory of Virginia.

If everybody had as much faith IN the 1utnre

l have been intimate with General Chetlain
ever since the war and have many times talked
with him by the hour regarding all the Incl
dents of Captain Grants life in Springfield be-
fore he took command of a regiment, and he
agreed with me perfectly in regard to the de-
tails of the introduction to Yates. Colonel
Moses also discussed the subject fully with
General Chetlain and myself, and we were all
in perfect accord concerning the facts. I, and no
one else, had the honor of introducing Mr..
Grant to Governor Yates, and this is how it
came about.
1 was busy around executive quarters, enlist
ing soldiers and attending to other military
affairs, and had noticed a little man clad in
shabby clothes who for several days had occu-
pied the same chair in the executive office,
never approaching any one or speaking, but
listening to the conversation and military dis
cussions round about him with twinkle in
his eye I was then major. AT last became
nervous and one day asked the little man if
there was anything could do for him.

took him to the Governors room, and while on
the way inquired his name.
"Mr. Grant," was his reply.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Grant?" inquired
the Governor.
81 do not like to trouble you," replied the
stranger, "but would like to obtain position
in one of the departments for a short time to
fit myself for active service"
We both readily perceived that his idea of
fitting himself referred in one sense to obtain
ing better clothing, for his appearance was
certainly shabby. The Governor, turning to
me, said: "Our departments are already very
crowded, but if you can find place for Mr..
Grant will you please do sop
So l set the shabby volunteer at work copy
ing cord of useless letters and applications,
as there was nothing else for him to do. Mr.
Grant smiled at the work, but said nothing.

Gated that part of his article in regard to
Grants meeting with Yates out of whole cloth,

is referred to as authority, never authorized
