Cannon bill. merits the same high
praise accorded TO the action of the
House on Monday The President now

people are not only thoroughly aroused,
but also, as is meet, place implicit con-
fidence in the Executive. If the present
incident is beneficial in no other way.
it is valuable as showing the real heart
of the South, a heart now beating in
unison with the North for the preser-
walton of the honor and glory of the
Republic The blue and the gray are
one. True, there still fingers in the
breasts of some -Confederates a
deep-seated hatred of the North and a
vain regret that the Union was not
sundered by the Civil War. These eX-
amples are however, rare and the
frothings of the irreconcilables should
be given only that attention which is
bestowed upon the utterances of crazy
men. We are unit for the Nations

ADVERTISE OUR FRUITS.
Sar Jose Mercury; At the annual
meeting of the State Board Of Trade,
recently held in San Francisco, Il reso-
luton was adopted to the effect that the
board favors and advises a comprehens-
i've exhibit of the products and resources
of the State at the Paris Exposition in
1850; that it will promote and direct
such an exhibit to the extent Of it's abil-
ity. and that it viii request Of the next
Legislature an appropriation of $50. eco
TO enable the State to make a creditable
display. Fifty thousand dollars may ap-
pear to be a large sum for a purpose of
that kind, but when the importance of
the end in view is considered the money
which it is desired that the State appro-
pirate is really insignificant in amount.
Il must be borne in mind that the bene-
fetal results which may confidently be
expected to flow from the proposed eX-
hibit will not be confined to one year, or
five, or ten. The chief purpose of the ex-
hibit is the advertisement of California
fruits in Europe and consequent safes.
The market thus opened will expand
frCrl year to year.
WORK AND WAGES.
Oakland Tribune: Has the condition
of the Worl1ingman really got worse, as
is constantly asserted by The profess
SIGNAL fault finders in political life? The
United States Commissioner Of Labor
thinks not. and he bases his conclusion
upon a very careful study of the subject
ranging through a long term of years.
In a recent article in the Forum" he
states that the number of unemployed
people in the United States and IN other
parts of the world is now less han It was
under the old system of production and
HAND labor, now displaced by machinery.
He further shows that the average rate
OF wages now paid to labor is higher
than under former conditions, while the
introduction of machinery has greatly
reduced the cost of articles produced,
thus giving treble advantage to labor
first, in the number of people employed; !;
second, in the wages paid, and third, by
a reduction in the prices of the articles
manufactured and which they must pUr-
chase for their own use.

gets white under the eyes without much
provocation, and his constitution is not
very rugged. When there is any sort
of disturbance in his midst he always
feels sorry he came. Rather than have
his country go to war with another he
would permit it to suffer any irdignity.
He would buy peace at any price, hire
a substitute if it took all he had, and
pick lint for the wounded if worst came
to. worst He puts in good deal of bis
time sitting around and feeling sorry be-
cause things are as they are. and he
cannot for the life of him understand
why men and nations ever go 20 war
and fight when it is so much less mussy
