GIVE THEM A CHANCE.

1t is generally understood that consid-
cradle number of people have come from
Florida to California to assume their pre-
vious occupation of orange-growing, hav-
ing discovered that the uncertainties of
the climate of Florida make the under
taking too hazardous and that it is at
tended with no profit.
To such newcomers hearty welcome
should be extended, even by those who are
engaged in identically the same line of busi-
ness. They should be shown everything
there is to be seen in California, for there
can be no profound secret i'll orange cul-
ture, and, more than this, every facility
should be afforded them for the purchase
OF land and the planting out of orchards,
for, with Florida practically out of the
race, there need not be the slightest fear
of overproduction in California oranges,
provided the quality be maintained.
For this reason we advise the EXTREMIST
Eberality to Florida orange-growers who
purpose making their homes in Califor-
MIA. The great need of this State, from
one end to the other. is people who will
till the soil intelligently and economically,
who will make homes for themselves,
their children and their children's chill
dren, and who will identify themselves
with the State of their adoption. Every
such newcomer Is missionary in behalf
OF California, ond his example and infiu-
ence will be invaluable because spontane-
Gus and unsolicited. In every part of
California, from north to south, wherever
the sun shines and the water runs, wher-
ever the orange tree will bourgeon and
blossom, there should be extended the
heartiest welcome to those who have dis
covered that there is more favorable
locality for orange-growing than the State
of Florida, and who are prepared to assist
us in developing the enormous natural
resources of California.
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-24
AN UNWISE PRACTICE.

1t is proposed to bring before the next
session of the local Labor Convention a
resolution calling upon all labor organiza-
tions to unite in efforts to secure better
treatment of street-railway employees in
this City than they are receiving. Mr..
Burns. the advocate OF the proposition,
gives the information that gripmen, motor
men and conductors are compelled to
serve fourteen hours day, less few
minutes devoted to a hasty luncheon.
That these men, especially gripmen and
motormen, are under a severe nervous
strain in addition to their physical labors
is evident when it is reflected that during
a great part of every day they must exer-
else the utmost watchfulness in guarding
human lives. Their position is, therefore,
far more wearing than that of person
whose labor is not burdened with so heavy
responsibility and SO ceaseless strain.
1t seems reasonable, therefore, to assume
not only that the long hours are an exces-
sive hardship on the men, but that their
attention under the strain might lag and
thus make accidents probable. AS MIR.
Burns says, there would be fewer people
killed and injured if the men in charge of
the street cable and electric cars were not
overworked." This is matter in which
the public has {. very close interest, apart
from any humane considerations affecting
the operatives themselves. 1t can hardly
be doubted that the profits of most of the
streetcar companies would make shorter
hours possible.
Mr.. Burns points out another matter
that would seem to call for State regula-
ton. He says there are 5000 streetcar
operatives in San Francisco, and that each
is required to deposit s25 with the COM
pany to cover possible damages and dis
honesty. This makes fund of SIS, 600 on
which the companies can draw interest.
If this interest should be turned over to
the men it would be oaly trifie to each,
but to the ompanies it means an income
OF about $4,000 year. That sum, less de-
ductions by the companies for legitimate
purposes, would be very useful to the men
in an organized capacity, particularly as
pension fund or as fund to insure against
accident or death. This is q legitimate
subject for legislative control.

ever since and caused him to forsake the law
for good.
He is a tall man, in middle life, or few years
beyond. In the flush days of the big carbonate
camp, Leadvile Yves called, there were
many hotiy contested mining suits. Loss OF
life was almost always incidental to the final
settlement of title.
1t was by the trial of such cases and the
backing of prospectors, which is common
custom OF nearly all residents of such mining
regions, that Mr.. Cleary came to throw away
spent some time in Montana, where he has
been examining big property.
John T. Fish of Milwaukee, attorney of the
Ashville branch of the Chicago and North
western Railroad, is at the Occidental accom-
panied by his wife and son.
Mr.. Fish is one of the best-known men in
that part of the country. He says Wisconsin
is soon to be redistricted, as the Democrat is
when in power did lot of gerrymandering,
and Governor William H. Upham, recently
elected, has to set things right again.
"Ex-Governor Peck has now gone off lectur-
ing said Mr.. Fish, "and Mr.. Hoard, who was

tion to the dairy business and running his

ject. Mr.. Peck has sold out his Sun, and is no

A NEW DISTURBANCE,

That part of the Queens address to Par
lament which urged the adoption OF
methods for improving the condition OF
English farmers has had an unexpected
result. The first scheme proposed in Par.
lament was the construction of light rail-
roads to penetrate The agricultural dis
tricts. Then came the Minister OF Agri-
culture with bill absolutely and
permanently prohibiting the importation
of live animals from any part of the
world, the colonies included. From all
this has grown an expansion of the SUBJ
iect to include the idea of a prote ctiye
tariff, and hence an abandonment of the
ancient free-trade idea to a considerable
extent.
1t will be observed that not until i'm.
provements were made in foreign agri-
cultural methods and reductions were
MADE In transport charges on imported
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-24

products did the farmers of England be-
gin to experience pinch and demand
governmental consideration OF their inter-
ests. By an accident which was lucky for
the free-trade sentiment of Great Britain
her colonies were remote, and their Compe-
tltion with home producers was not seri-
Gus matter. Then England, giving more
heed to the development and extension of
her commerce and to the encouragement
OF her merchant marine than to the pros
perity of her farmers, aiming always to
extend her influence and empire, steadily
drove her home producers to the wall.
This had certain good effect on agricul-
ture, for under such a pressure it was de-
veloped more and more. at last, however,
the limit seems to have been reached, and
grave political issue has been precipi-
tated.
The idea of light tramways penetrating
agricultural districts and of q movement
to secure reduction of internal charges
for the transportation of farm products is
most pralseworthy, but it is merely evil
dence of the fact that free trade has threat
ened the ruin of agriculture in England,
and that the proposed facilities for mar
keting farm products are simply an expe-
dient TO evade temporarily an inevitable
falling back upon protective tariff. We
may expect that the manufacturing inter-
ests of that country will give no present
support to the protection movement, and
that the farmers will be left to make their
fight alone. But England must sooner or
later resort to protective tariff, modified
by judicious reciprocity. The idea cannot
ripen all at once. Antagonisms with the
colonies will have to be carefully guarded
against, and any policy to secure that nar-
mony will run the risk of antagonizing
other countries. These embarrassments,
it may be said in passing, do not exist in
the case of the United States.
