Jewell Noyset, a boy years of age, liv-

accident yesterday afternoon. which at
first appeared to be fatal. He was riding
on a hay wagon, and at Sixth and Market

boy, but before the lad could get out of
the way the shaft of the wagon struck
him on the back and he fell, and one of
the wheels passed over him.
Noyset was taken to the Receiving Hos
pital, where DR.. McGettigan found that
his right leg was broken and his abdomen
injured. After the boys injuries had been
attended to DR.. McGettigan thought that
he would recover. Sharp was arrested bv

THE LONG-LIVED MICROBE.

A paragraph has been going the
rounds of the papers which is worth
reproducing 1t is vouched for by
Swiss paper, a writer upon which hunt
ed up the information. If it is true it
shows what a viruent and long-lived
microbe the plague bacillus is, and how
necessary it is to guard carefully
against him. The story told by the
Swiss paper runs as follows:
''In 1860, the Dutch city of HARLEM
was devastated by the plague. Whole
families persisted, and among them a
family of the name of Cloux the men,
bers of which were buried in the Haar-
lem church. Thirty or forty years ago
it was found that the masonry of the
tomb was out of repair, and the vault
was entirely rebuilt. The masons in
charge of the work remained in the
vault an entire day, and, strange to say,
Notwithstanding the fact that two CEN
turtles had passed since the epidemic,
all these workmen were attacked with
the infectious glandular swelling called
'bubo,' and had to undergo treatment
at the hospital"
A case so extraordinary is most prob
ably treated of in medical works. 1t is
a well known fact that baccilli are very
hard to kill, but that they should exist
for 200 years seems hardly credible. Still
baccilli will live even under most ad-
verse circumstances for a long time,
and there is no use in fooling about
them The Board of Health is justified
in taking the precautions it has, even
though it has caused great inconveni-
ence and discomfort to a number Of
people. An ounce of prevention is
worth many pounds of cure, and the
Board of Health could afford to take no
risks. Every sympathy is felt for the
unfortunate people confined on the City
of Columbia, but the safety of the city
demanded, the precaution. In matters
of this kind it is we'll to err on the safe
side.

THE COST OF LABOR.

Every now and again, someone who
knows nothing about the matter, talks
about the degraded condition of the
laborer on our sugar plantations, and
speaks of the low wages which are paid.
DIR. Maxwell in his pamphlet upon the
Hawaiian Islands, which was prepared
for the year book of the Department of
Agriculture for 1898, and thus forms a
portion of the report of Secretary Will
son to President Mckinley, devotes con-
siderable space to labor conditions, and
it is extremely interesting to compare
this report with an article by Richard
Heath upon the "Prussian Rural Lab
orer," which has appeared in a recent
number of the Contemporary Review.
This becomes the more interesting as
in the eastern Prussian provinces if
the aboriginal peasants do not like the
labor conditions, their places are eagerl
labor conditions, their places are eagerly
So that if the condition of the Prussian
laborer is bad, the condition of the
Galician in his own country is infinitely
worse.
The ,Prussian laborer receives in the
Gumbinnen district, Pomerania 213
marks year or $53 25, reckoning
mark equal to 25 cents which is about
mills more than it's real value. In
Brandenburg he is better off and gets
444 marks per annum, or SILL An aver
age of sixteen districts gave an annual
wage to the laborer of 1888 marks or
1888 20 a year. A more recent writer
says that wages in the Saxon villages
amount to $50 marks or $45, and fall as
low as 70 or 80 marks SIT so to $40 per
annum. And to this is added they live
chiefly on rye bread" Moreover, this
writer says that rural proprietors,
contractors and employees, seeing prices
presistently falling, seek to lower wag-
es." These people work in the beet
fields which supply the beet sugar of
commerce.
Then again the Prussian laborer can
keep no COW, and has to buy his milk
out of his wages. The cottages are I'M
sanitary and in bad repair Many of
them contain only one room. Says the
writer who Is. quoted. 1.-The little furni-
ture they have Is dirty and broken, the
beds are in a miserable condition;
they posses only one, and in
it, not unfrequently, three generations

TUESDAY, JUNE %, 1899.

The Assistant Secretary of War Mel
klejohn has published the statistics of
revenue receipts and of the movement
of vessels in the new possessions for
the first four months of the year. The
receipts in Cuba amounted to $4,443
e99 Is; in Porto Rico $4S1, 1928 q was
collected, and the Philippines turned in
81, 701 sol 20, of which $1,545,2 69 40 came
from Manila. During the four months
Cuban ports entered 1885, O09 of foreign
tonnage, while 1,444,620 tons cleared
Porto Rico entered 532,272 foreign ton
mage and cleared 46S,324 tons. There
was no return of tonnage from the
Philippines. When the little trouble in
the Philippines is cleared up, the rev.
enue will expand enormously, for Ma
Mia does a gigantic trade, and there is
a big back country.

sleep" The conditions resulting from
such a state of things are not difficult
to imagine and Mr.. Heath gives many
quotations. 1t may further be added
that the work is from sunrise to sunset
with time for the midday meal. This
pittance is not an inviting one. Is Il
any wonder that there is constant en-
migration, that in the five years be-
tween 1885 to 1890, the agricultural dis
tricts of Germany lost S72,SOO inhabi-
tants But what must be the condition
of the Galician and the eastern Pole
when he gladly leaves his own country
to take what the eastern German has
left.
Now take a look at our own wages. No
one for a moment argues that planta-
ton laborers life is an ideal existence,
but his rewards are very much better
than his German confrere gets on the
beet fields of Prussia. DR.. Maxwell
gives a table from the pay roll of Eva
plantation. From this table all skilled
labor is excluded. According to this the
Portuguese received during the month
$3.50 go a year; contract Cinnamon SIS Is
per month or $1S1 80; contract Japanese
SIS &c per month or $1S7 92 per year;
day Chinese $17 10 per month or 1912 rs
per year, and day Japanese SIS o. per
month or 1915 As per year.
To this must be added free lodging,
free water, free fuel and free medical
attendance. There is also hardly a
plantation where the laborers do not
have garden patches where they raise
vegetables, which add largely to the
variety of their food, and where ever
Portuguese are, there will be found the
ubiquitous goat, which supplies milk,
and the cost of feeding the goat is nil.
Moreover as DR.. Maxwell says 1.-The Ha-
waiian laborer requires less clothing,
and, what is more important he does
not need to lose one day in the year
from weather"
Taking all these things into consider
alton, DR.. Maxwell considers that the
value of the wage including money and
free house, etc of the average unskill-
ed laborer in Hawaii is 70 cents per day
or $219 10 for the 313 working days of
the year, Now the highest wage for the
unskilled laborer in Pomerania was Sill
per year, while the lowest wage was
calculated at from SIT so to $40 per an
mum. To people who wish to make a
preliminary study of the subject, the
article in the May number of the Cor
temporary Review and DIR. Maxwell's
terse statements in his report to Secre-
tary Wilson will be valuable, and serve
to sweep a good many preconceived
misconceptions.

AN EXPERT OPINION.

Clement Reuter- the French expert,
whose report was published in The Star,
certainly gives good opinion upon our
coffees. He classes the samples sub
mitted to him as among the choice
kinds, and considers it's aroma equal to
Mocha, though the flavor is not so mel
low. Of course we know perfectly we'll
that our coffee is a good article, and
that it has locally a high reputation.
When once one has become used to Ha-
waiian coffee, the inferior grades which
are produced in Brazil and in South
America, are soon detected, and reject
ed There is no doubt about the excell-
ence of our coffee.
But it is one thing to know ourselves
that our coffee is good, and quite an
other thing to have other people ac-
quainted with the fact. The excellence
of our coffee is known in the San Fran
cisco market, it is desirable that it
should be known in many other places.
To have obtained a favorable opinion
from a Partisan expert is therefore
valuable, and the more opinions we get,
the better. alEKIIK
1t is not enough, however, to have es-
tablished a good name for our coffee,
it should be produced in sufficient guam
titles to meet the market demand. 1t Is
no use having a name for good coffee
and be unable to put an adequate
supply on the market A good deal of
our best coffee on the San Francisco
market sold lower than it should, sim
ply because there was not enough of it
to sell alone. 1t had to be mixed with
other coffee.
The advice which Mons. Reuter- gives
with regard to grading our coffee is
good. He suggests three classes. The
round bean, the large bean, and the
medium bean. All goods which are sent
to market are the better for being at
tractively put up, and if the different
grades of beans are separated and clas-
sified, they look better and customers
can obtain the very best we have at
once, without searching for it through
several bags.
The thanks of our coffee growers are
due to Consul Vossion for the care he
has taken to have samples of our cof-
fees examined by proper experts, and
the advice given should be followed.
