There IS no nation IN the world, under any
system, t0hsre the same reward is given to the
labor Of mems hands and the lUork of their
brains as IN the United States. We lead all
nations n, agriculture, we lead all nations fn
mining and l0e lead all nations IN neanufac-
turing. These are the trophies which tUe bring
after twenty-aaine gears Of prOtective tariff.
TO regerse this system means to stop the prog
ress of the Republic and reduce the masses to
sna1 relOards for their labor, to longer hours
and less pay, to the simple question of bread
and butter. Free trade, or as you are pleased
to call 1t, ''reUenue tariff" means the opening
up of thiS market, which IS admitted to be the
best IN the ,0orld, to the free entry Of the prod
ucts of the worId. It means more. II means
that the labor of this country IS to be remitted
to its earlier condition and that the condition
of oar country is to be IeUeled dOton to the con-
ditioa ofrigaJ countries, because uqader 1t every
element of cost, every item of production IN
cluding ,oages, must be brought doaps to the
lereI of the Io1oest paid labor IN the tcorId. No
other results can .toIlow and no other result is
anticipated or expected By those who intelli-
gently advocate a revenue tariff. We cannot
maintain ourselves against unequal conditions
a0ithout the tariff and no man of affairs be-

SEAL AND FISH DATA.
Stanford's President the Only
Western Man Chosen
for the Work.
ALBATROss WILL SOON SAIL.
To Be Well Equipped for an Extensive
Scientific Trip of Several
Months.

President David S. Jordan of Stanford
University has been appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland to take charge of an i'm
portant expedition into Alaskan waters to
make an extensive examination of the
seals and fishes about the outlying islands.
The Government Fish Commission
steamer Albatross, now about ready to sail
from this port, has been placed at the dis
posal of DR.. Jordan and a corps of expe-
rienced scientists sent on from Washing
ton to assist him.
1t will be one of the most COM
pletely equipped expeditions of the kind
ever prepared for research in the Pacific.
Years ago DR.. Jordan was in charge of the
deep-sea dredging and fsh-collecting ex-
pedition that was carried about by the
Albatross. But this appointment came as
a complete surprise. He was just about to
start East on a lecturing tour, for which
arrangements had already been made at
Indiana University and in Washington
when the telegram arrived from the
President notifying him OF his appoint
ment.
DR.. Jordan has long been considered the
American authority on fishes, and this
appointment by the Government is con-
sidered only another recognition of the
ability of the head OF the institution at
Palo Alto. OF all the corps selected DR..
Jordan is the only Western man.
Stenographers, photographers and cata-
loguers will form part of the equipment.
1t will be long voyage, covering much
territory, for the Albatross will visit the
most outlying islands of the Alaskan
archipelago. DR.. Jordan hopes to be back
IN September, when the university opens.
Mrs. Jordan will not accompany her
husband, but Will. now that the summer
plans are so suddenly changed, spend part
of her vacation in Seattle.

CLOSE OF AN HoNoRED CAREER
As Commander of the Second Brigade
BE Preceded General
Dimond.

General John McComb died of heart
disease at his home in TemescaI yesterday
afternoon. General McComb was an old
time newspaper man. who was managing
editor and one OF the proprietors of the
Alta California when tnat journal was well
known to a large circle of California
readers.
In the National Guard General McComb
was known and admired by guardsmen.
He gained promotion gradually and
through all the successive grades from a
non-commissioned officer to brigadier-
general commanding the Second Brigade.
He was succeeded as commander of this
brigade by General W. H. Dimond, and it
is remarkable fact and cited as coinci-
dence that both generals died on the same
GAY.
General McComb's age was 81 years. He
was born in New York, and sprung from
Scotch and Irish stock. He came to Cali
fornia in 1849. On the journey hither he
was a fellow-passenger with George K.
Fitch on the steamer Oregon.
Under the administration of Governor
Perkins the Board of Prison Directors ap-
pointed General McComb warden of Fol-
som State Prison.
He held the wardenship throughout
Gov. Stoneman's administration, and dur
ing Waterman's s regime was transferred to
San Quentin as warden of that prison.
The Prison Directors under the Markham
rule removed him and appointed Warden
Hale.
At the time of his death General Nc
Comb was secretary of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. He
was member of the Union League Club
past master of California Lodge of Masons,
member of California Commandery of
Knights Templar and the Veterans Asso-
citation of the National Guard.
During his career as editor of the Alta
his life was threatened by an irate lawyer
named Hayes-a man who had acquired a
reputation as a fierce fighter. a scene
occurred in the editorial rooms of the old
Alta on California street one night, and
the result was that hayes got about the
soundest thrashing that a retraction de-
mander ever merited.
General McComb leaves widow, two
sons, John ]. and George S., and daugh-
ter, Miss Lizzie McComb.
Funeral services will be held at the Ma
sonic Temple at P. NJ. Sunday. The dead
general will be honored with a military
escort to the cemetery.

aN
Building Trades Council
At the meeting of the Building Trades
Council, last night, it was decided to place
a boycott upon J. Noonan, the furniture

tract for its reconstruction to a contractor
who employs only non-union workmen.
At the last meeting OF the District Council
of CARPENTERS and Joiners the secretary
was directed to send letter of protest
to Noonan, but the latter paid no
attention to it, and the Building Trades
Council took up the fight IN the manner
stated. 1t was also decided to impose II
S5 fine upon all members found guilty of
drinking beer made in the non union
breweries. Application was made by the
Bricklayers' Union for representation in
the council.
At the last meeting Of the local Cigar
makers Union the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: President.

Upon the information furnished by an EN-

he had been in the building since it was

Flood building had never been known by any
other name. Upon further inquiry it was as
certained that for a few days there was in the
space now occupied by the words "Flood

short time that the people did not have time
to learn TO call the building by that name.

THE ORANGE BLOSSOM. NJ, City. The fol-
lowing legend of the orange blossom current
among the Spanish Creole of New Orleans is
probably the one you refer to: An African
prince once presented Spanish King with
magnificent orange tree, whose creamy waxen
blossoms and won derful fragrance excited the
admiration of the whole court In vain did
courtlers plead for a branch of the plant, and
foreign Embassador in particular was tor
mented by the desire to introduce so great a
curiosity into his native land. He had used
every possible means, fair and foul, to ac-
complish his purpose, but all his ef-
forts coming to naught he gave up
in despair The fair daughter of the
court gardener was loved by young artisan,
but lacked the dot which the family consid-
cred necessary in q bride. One day CHANGING
to break off spray OF the orange blossoms the
gardener thoughtlessly gave it TO his daughter.
Seeing the coveted prize in the girls hair the
willy ambassador promptly gave her a sum
sufficient for the desired dowry. provided she
gave him the branch and said nothing about
it. Her marriage was soon celebrated, and on
the way to the altar, in grateful remembrance
of the source of all her happiness, the girl Sc
cretly broke off another bit of the lucky tree
to adorn her hair. Whether the poor court
gardener lost his head IN consequence of his
daughters treachery the legend does not state,
but the beautiful tree is now known in many
lands, and ever since that wedding-day orange
blossoms have been considered a fitting adorI-
ment for bride.
