Muscle, Et Cetera, VS.. Brains.

For some time, since the craze for
athletic honors had its inception
among the students of American
colleges, it has been about nip and
tuck between the intrinsic proceeds of
Brain and Muscle, as manifested by
salaries paid to university professors
and the captains of baseball teams
and other celebrities. The scales are
no longer at an equal poise, however,
| for the sports are rapidly heaving
ahead and making the members of
college faculties ashamed of them
selves. Even eminent divines, United
States cabinet Secretaries, and other
high officials receive less money
for their services than those who
stand at the head of baseball fraterni-
ties, boxing contests and bicycle-rac-
ing clubs.
Rev. John Hall, of New York, re-
ceives, perhaps, as great salary for
pastoral work as any minister of the
gospel in the country. This eminent
theologian is paid $4,000 a year.
President Eliot, of rich Harvard Uni
versity, receives $4,000 a year, for
managing that venerable institution.
John Sherman, representing the
head and front of the Presidents
cabinet at Washington, is paid by the
government, $4,000 year, while his
colleagues receive q similar amount
for their annual salaries. So much
for the recompense of the great repre-
sentatives of our nations intellectual
lore and craftsmanship. Turn we
now to another page of the ledger.
Billy Joice, captain of the New York
baseball nine, is paid by the Treasurer
$1,000, straight cash, for every victory
won by the team he commands, while
big dividends 60 to the other men,
bers. Thus 1t Will be seen that every
man receives fortune each year, so
long as he retains his membership.
Jim Corbett, the defeated pugilist,
makes $4,000 year for his distin-
guished services as baseball player
and theatrical stage boxer.
Last, though not least in import
ance, hobs up that little dude, Tod
Sloan, who pockets $4,000 year, for
simply riding and licking the fast
horses at the metropolitan races.
Away with the talk of our alleged
stringency in me ley matters, popularity
called hard times! The very thought
is a vagary,

KLoNDYKE Nor ExCEPTIoNAL.-So
far Klondyke has not beaten the rec
ord for yield of the standard metal,
whatever she may do hereafter. The
Idaho mines, early in the COS, afford
q parallel. A dozen miners at Ba-
boon's Gulch took out more gold in
less time, than any dozen men have,
so far, at Klondyke. At least, Joaquin
Miller says SO, and in his statements
of fact there is generally more truth
than poetry. While the Klondyke
has only yielded up so far two or three
millions, Alden Gulch, in Idaho, be-
tween 1868 and 1873 yielded more
than hundred millions of pure gold.
The McGregor company took out
100000 in ninety days from that
gulch, which they carried down the Mis-
souri, to st. Louis, in boat built for
the purpose, guarded by Winchester
rifles. No mines, however, have ever
yielded SO much to the pan, as Klon-
dyke.

A Way to Patronize Home Industry

1t is estimated that the gross earn
ings of the heather Chinese in and
about Olympia, derived from the sale
OF vegetables, the laundry business,
domestic services and various other
sources, amount in the aggregate to
$1,000 per month, every dollar of
which goes to China never to return
into the financial avenues of any
other nation on earth. When a
Chinaman sends his cash earnings
from this country to the Flowery
Kingdom, they are as thoroughly dead
and buried forever as are his bones
which are shipped there after his
death.
There is nothing these unregener.
ated heather do for us that cannot be
done just as we'll by typical American
men and women. While the members
of our Board of Trade are racking
their brains in striving to raise the
means for establishing manufacturing
industries at Deschuttes falls, would it
not be wise to first stop the annual
outflow of sixty thousand dollars in
coin from the pockets of our people.
Olympia has two struggling laun-
dries carried on by white labor. Their
work is as well done as that which
comes from the Chinese wash houses,
and could they be literally patronized
it would be done at as reasonable a
price.
The money paid for Chinese labor
in Olympia, would, in twelve months,
enable the Board of Trade to do all
it is seeking to do by the voluntary
donations of our citizens.
We are not encouraging the forcible
ejectment of the Chinese from our
borders, nor anything of the kind; we
simply urge that Olympians do their
own work and thereby keep their
money at home. The Cinnamon
would go soon enough, when they
found their occupation gone.
This matter is worthy of discussion
by the Board of Trade.
