Dio Lewis who said that two hours ex-
ercise in the morning of moderate ma
ture, was worth several times the same
amount of exercise of longer duration
in the evening. Those who by necessity Y
or vOlition are up early these bright
crisp mornings can realize the truth or
Doctor Lewis remarks. There is a mag
netic quality about the atmosphere In
the morning that promotes energy and
conduces to healthy and vigorous exer-
else. In this enervating climate it would
be a salutaIy thing if all would take aid-
vantage of THE opportunity offered.
OLIVES.
Santa Rosa Democrat: The olive Is
attracting a. good deal of attention III
Sonoma, and the olive yards OF this
county are larger and more numerous
than those of any county In California,
except Santa Barbara. Any observer
travelling through Sonoma can see for
himself how olive trees even on what
would be otherwise waste land, are
thriving. All the conditions of soil and
climate Indispensable to its thrift are
found here In the highest degree, ana
nowhere can they be surpassed. From
the experience of the older countries, as
well is that OF California, It Is shown
that the olive will flourish on great
variety of soils, the most important de-
mand being that the land Shall be warm
and well drained. The tree will not
thrive In low, damp ground. 1t pros
pers ON the summit, on the slope of
mountains, in the very midst OF rocks
where but little soil is found; 1T resists
the longest spells of dry weather; 1t
breads only such cold weather as is un-
known in our regions; and ait the same
time its planting and care reach hardly
one third the cost of a vineyard, while
it's product Is of far more value. Hills
and warm mountain slopes unfit for
pasture will produce olives abundantly,
and ripen the fruit much earlier than
the rich valley lands. although in the
latter the trees will attain a larger
growth.
GROWTH OF CIVIL SERVICE RE-
FORM.
Portland Oregonian: The work ac
complished In the direction of reform
ing the civil service under the last three
administrations has gone far toward
undoing the great evil wrought by
President jackson when he made the
public offices Of the Government the re-
ward for party service. In the field of
civil service reform Mr.. Cleveland's
work has been more effective than that
Of any other President, partly by rea
son of the development OF conditions
which were planted at somewhat
earlier period. However this may be,
q total of $4,000 official positions have,
during his incumbency Of the Presiden-
tial Office been placed beyond the reach
of party spoilsmen.
A Republican Congress passed a civil
service law In 1888, but for obvious
reasons reform of this kind being
eminently matter of growth the OBJ
structions to which were firmly rooted
in party custom, little progress was
made under it for several years. There
is evidence that President Hayes was
in full accord with the high moral SEN
tinent underlying the law, but his
The record-union., 1896-11-19

views were not supported by the public
at large, nor, in the nature of things,
by his party, and his efforts in advocacy
OF the reform were soon abandoned
President Garfield, personally a friend
Of the principle, came in on the waning
power of his party, and was in no posi-
ton to dictate terms to its leaders:
while President Arthur, succeeding to
the embarrassments as well as to the
honors and responsibilities Of the ad-
niinistration, did little to extend the
law or to make it more effective, though
he approved of 1t and did not obstruct
its operation within certain limits.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Oakland Enquirer: In some Of the
districts the news of the decision
affirming the constitutionality Of the
Wright Law Is received with regret. Be
yond doubt there were places where
the people acted recklessly in other
financial matters. Booming is danger
Gus business, as California knows to
her sorrow. But that in the majority of
instances the districts were able to
pay for an irrigation system, well de-
vised and economically constructed,
there is no more doubt than there is
that this decision, although infiicting
individual hardships is for the general
good. It is true much money has been
wasted, but generally the large land
holders have been responsible for this
When the people voted irrigation bonds
the great ranchers-the owners of 10,-
600 or 10000 or 10000 acres Of wheat
land-1nstead of accepting the result,
and going in to help make the project
success, usually started in to fight.
AS consequence the bonds could not
be sold in the open market, and they
were traff1cked off to contractors, who
naturally insured themselves against
possible loss OF the whole, by setting
their figures high. This made the
works unnecessarily costly. and in
some instances used up the money
without getting results. AS the great
wheat growers looked at 1t, irrigation
would be OF no advantage to them;
they did not need it to grow wheat
and 1t would not pay them to turn
their vast possessions into orchards
or vineyards. What they should have
done was to recognize the evolution Of
new era In California agriculture
divide UP their ranches and put them
on the market. AS 1t was, they invoked
that worst of all curses, litigation, and
sometimes involved themselves and
neighbors in partial ruin.

gloomy appearance to them. Fortu-

threats We do not so understand the

rassment of the Government in strong
terms, and sets out that failure to com
mand the means necessary might In

SOvEREIGN'S APPEAL.

Mr.. Sovereign, a chief Of the order Of
eous wall According to his procla
nation we are going to the bottomless
pit post haste. Civil liberty is on the
verge Of ruin and human rights are
threatened with disaster that If it
comes, will destroy the last vestige of
freedom. All this because capital, In
his estimation, is armed against labor
and designs to enslave and debase it.
What miserable palaver this is to be
sure. Sovereign does not echo the
thought of the substantial artisans and
workers Of the country. With the ball
lot at their command they know that
no harm can befall us if they do not
viii 1t. They know that capital Is not
50 massed as to constitute the threat
that Sovereign assumes to be impend-
ing. More than that, they know that
the larger amount of capital in this
country is widely distributed and
among the class of people who cannot
be described as capitalists, while most
Of the remainder is invested in indus
trial enterprises in the maintenance of
which labor and capital have equal in
terest and are equally laboring to con-
serve.
Sovereign has a remedy-an these
professional agitators have remedies
at their tongues end. He advises his
order to take up the free silver cause
and do battle for it from this time on;
ITO mass against Government by in
junction" and enter upon a lot Of other
things of that order. and the more
effectuaIly to accomplish them, to stiffen
the secrecy of the order and institute
new degree to be known as Minute
Men" Remarking upon this silly talk
the Albany journal we'll remarks:
1t will be interesting to watch the
movements of the K. of L. during the
next four years. If Mr.. Sovereign has
his way it will become a genuine free
silver league fighting the very forces
that make labor possible, instead Of an
organization to remedy some OF the
evils claimed to exist to in1ure labor.
Now, when labor lifts its head in hope,
Mr.. Sovereign declares that the hard
times have been condition forced by
the rich to injure labor and that closed
factories and scarcity of money In cir
culation were conditions brought about
by capital to ensIave and coerce labor.
Such claptrap is dangerous doctrine to
preach and the sooner the K. of l. de-
poses such false leaders as Sovereign
the better it will be for Its members.
Let labor clear the decks for
dawn of prosperity. This will be far
better. Down with false godsI" should
be the demand of organized labor.
