SUCCESSFUL LABOR
DAY CELEBRATION
Largest Picnic Ever Witnessed in the
County.-All Glasses Turn Out In
Honor of the 0ccasion-The Program

The first celebration of labor day by
the Jackson Union, No. lis, Western
Federation of Miners, was big affair.
A large gathering was looked for, but
the attendance really eclipsed the
largest expectations of the promoters.
The members of the labor organiza-
tions of the county mustered in full
strength; failure to appear in line being
made a cause for fine. jackson Union
being the strongest, far out-numbered
the other organizations. 1t was about
s o'clock when the procession formed
on Court House hill. Headed by the
Jackson band and carriage contain
ing the officers of the day, the men,
bers formed in line four abreast, and
marched from Water street up Main
street and thence TO the picnic grounds
at Fullen's grove, about half a mile
north west of Martell's station. AS the
procession passed up Main street, by
actual count there were 372 men in
line. Arriving at the entrance to the
grounds, the Jackson body was met by
the procession from the north, COM
prised of the members of Sutter Creek
and Amador Unions, also formidable in
point of numbers, but not equal to
the main body from the county
seat. This body from the north was
headed by the Placerville band. All
the marchers wore the handsome
badge of the Federation suspended from
their breasts. At the picnic grove an
immense concourse of people-the fe-
male sex predominated-had already
assembled. The grounds were literally
sowed with vehicles and horses, pressed
into service in conveying those on
pleasure bent to the scene of festivi-
ties. A conservative estimate gives
the attendance st 5000.
LITERARY EXERCISES.
Soon after arrival, the literary pro-
gram was carried out on the spacious
platform as follows:
Music by Jackson band.
Prayer by the chaplain, Rev. F. A.
Morrow.
Music by the band.
Address by Hon. l.. r. Tulloch of
Angels.
Music by the band.
ADJUSTMENTS.
The amusement program was ample
to keep up the interest of the pleasure
seekers throughout the day. There
was no long waits between acts. In
deed the program of exercises was so
crowded that much of it had to be
for want of time, and in
some instances owing to failure of
entries.
Immediately after the literary exer-
cises the baseball game was started
The contestants were the Jewel Bour-
bons of jackson, and team from
Hill. The liberal prize
of 800 in cash depended upon the out
come. 1t was very evenly contested
game. Sockey Arditto, pitcher for the
Jacksons, met with an accident which
many contend had an important bear
ing upon the result. While at the bat,
he was struck by a swift ball, and al
though he continued in the game, he
was not up to his usual from there
after. Calaveras boys captured the
purse, with score of 20 to 19. Fol-
lowing is the score:

For Good Roads.

The national and international good
roads convention, which will meet in St.
Louis the last week of the present month,
will be the most important gathering OF
the kind ever seen in any country, says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat. Year by
wear the movement has been growing in
general interest and taking various prac-
teal forms. Several states have begun
the systematic construction OF good
roads aud appropriate money regularly
for the purpose. Vermont is one. Cir
cumstances are aiding the work. New
methods of road locomotion have APP
peared. Rural delivery depends on
proper road facilities, for the government
rightly declines to establish it in neigh
borhoods where the highways are a
combination of ruts, mudholes, aud
almost impossible grades. The difficult
ties of service in all sorts of weather are
great enough at best, and the postal de-
partment will not go into hopeless
struggle with rough, neglected roads.
Good roads cost considerable when
originally built, but they pay. They
are a sound economic investment. Any
one looking over the state papers at this
season observes that the drying up OF
the roads is hailed as the opening oil
business. Many localities almost hiber
nate through stormy winter, and IL
all months are subject to delays during
continued rains. Valuable time is lost
teams are exhausted, vehicles racked tc
pieces and harness quickly put out o.
service by bad roads. All these item'
represent loss of cash. 1t is stead,
drain, and accurate bookkeeping woult
prove it to be more costly than gooc
roads, to say not hing of questions o
comfort and social enjoyment

In that grand scheme-the science of
oeace-lies the only hope of preventing
such direful effects as have been the
issue of causes identical with those which
reign supreme today. Selfshness and
credulitv have ever been the chief fac
tors in producing continuous condition
of social unrest, and incalculable misery.
When international and civic tribunals
can compel submission of all griev-
ances, and can render rulings so just as
to leave no possible chance for resist
ance without mourning punishment
commensurate with the possible effects
of the obduracy, men will have almost
attained to the highest possible state of
civilization. for such conditions will ex.

over base misuse of power. Such a
happy consummation may yet be in the
far future, for men still have in their
makeup a great deal of the old Adam.
Arbitration as polite measure to
secure the stability of an empire appears
in the records of the year A. d. 2S4,
when the power of Rome was in "rapid
decline" Previous to that time her
rulers had been so keenly interested in
demonstrating the glories Of annexation
as to have no use for peace makers. 1t
is strange that the most sagacious powers
met with disasters mainly because they
could not realize their limitations. The
best social systems that the minds of
men could devise have been wrecked
through this serious error. Oppression
reaches the limit and then there is a
revolution. Warfare and its attendant
burden of taxation is an oppression that
the ''cnmmon people" have endured long
enough. Count Tolstoi, and many otheI
men of mind, have frequently given ;
vigorous expression to their conviction
that war is an unnecessary ahomination
Such eloquence, from such men, canno
fail to create widespread conviction O
its truth. In the near future the peopl
will demand that such means as hav
proved equal to the prevention of
great world war shall be exerted in tn
maintenance of peace and prosperity
Great talent could be devoted to n
higher purpose than the abolition {
cruel war.
The present condition in Europe {
bitter antagonism between capital an
labor which has resulted in the shockin

Mrs. Booth Tucker and the Donkey.
One story told of Mrs. Booth Tuck
err when little girl of thirteen shows
her to have been the true child of
her parents. When walking along the
shore at Portsmouth beside her gov
erness she saw a donkey cart being
driven along furiously by lad who
was belahoring the poor beast savage
". Breaking away from her COM
panion, she rushed after it, and pulled
the boy from his seat. Catching up
his stick, she showered blows upon
the lads head and shoulders, with
the words, uttered amid tears, There,
now, how do you like itg' Perhaps
her pleading proved more powerful
than the blows; but in few moments
the lad was kneeling beside the dom
key asking Gods forgiveness for his
cruelty. The climax came with the
girl driving back triumphantly in the
cart beside the boy. who promised
henceforth TO be kind and TO treat his
donkey well-Lendon Chronicle
