Another marked feature Of these ex-
cursions is the low price charged those
who are expected to pay anything at all.
OF course, as everybody knows, some
body must pay something, for very many

The excursion last year was over the
Hempfeld road to shirlS Grove, near

Of the new railroad, which, by the way,
is very attractive at this season OF the

fully as successful as that Of last year,
and that the children will come home as
highly pleased with their day in
the woods. For particulars in regard

The Chinese problem is one of the
serious questions of the day. 1t
should be carefully considered, and
q proper remedy found for its evils.
These people come in hordes to our
shores, absorbing our wealth with no
commensurate contribution to the
welfare of our nation. All but a
pittance of what they earn is at once
sent back to China. They depre-
ciate the value of the honest labor
that adds to the wealth of the land.
They directly impoverish the coun-
try by abstracting its wealth without
rendering corresponding perma-
nent improvement.


Men of any class, in any commun.
ity, who simply live to absorb mon.
ey, are not good citizens. Every
man who gets money in any commu
nifty is under obligation to that com.
munity. 1t belongs to him to spend
a certain proportion of his money
for the lasting good, the permanent
welfare Of the place. Without this
no place could advance in any way.
A nail cannot be driven or a brick
laid in any permanent Improvement
that every resident is not in some
measure benefited. The man who,
having acquired wealth in a place,
refuses to do anything with his mon.
ey for its permanent good, is as bad
as a Chinaman. When such a man
arrogates to himself the control in
local politics, the full right to govern
in school boards and to vilIify and
attack falsely those who venture to
have any opinion Of their own in
these matters. he is even worse than
a Chinaman; for, with the same mis-.
erly principles, he is not SO inofTens-
i've.


| We simply call attention to these
matters so that all good citizens may
think about them and act for them
selves.

The Democratic Convention last Monday endorsed the claims of King $. Woolsey for Congress. This en- dorsement, together with that of the Non-Partisans, who meet to-day, is equivalent to three-fourihs of the vote of Maricopa county. It has been the game of a few of his enemies to claim that he will not carry his own county hoping thereby to hurt him in other sections of the Territory. He will not only receive nine-tenths of the vote of his own county but will beat Campbell in Yavapai county and crowd Hiram vely close in Pima. The other candidate is so litte known that he is practically out of the race.

The past season has been anything but prosperous one to the farmers of Southern California. The trouble has been that too much attention has been paid to barley and wheat raising to 1be neglect of other products, and rust getting in that only makes it all the more severely felt. This same trouble win certainly be experienced by the farmers of Salt River valley in the near future unless a change is made While our grain now finds a ready market and at good prices, as large profits can be made in many other things in the agricultural field The most money does not always come from the most popular crops.

The most fitting place in America for


Dennis Kearney is Massachusetts. He i'd
now there, and is holding sweet converse
with Ben Butler, that statesman having
called upon him. The man Kearney has
ideas, expresses them forcibly, and is ap-
parently honest. In Massachusetts he will
find plenty of rooted and time -honored
abuses, which the people have it in their
power to exterminate. The old know
nothing party. faulty as the central idea
was, and base as it became in the hands Of
politicians, was really protest of the plain
people against the unjust tyranny of class.
Butler has for years labored to build up
power on the same question in that State.
The opportunity is at hand. The poor are
poorer than ever, and poorer in Massa-
chusetts than anywhere else. They are
unquestionably ready to try and solve the
problem as to how much can be done by
legislation to remedy the evil. The coming
of Kearney will hasten events, and make
it necessary for Butler to become a candi-
date for Governor this Fall. We shall see
the greatest political fight of the year in


Massachusetts, and not between the Demo-


cratic and the Republican parties.

A Madison Street Contractor Uses Ma


chine for Breaking Stone--The Council


Evenly Split by That Crusher.


Especial Telegram to the Globe,I


MADISON, Wis, Aug. ca which has
been going on in our city council for month
or more eliminated Saturday night in seven
of the council rendering their resig-
nations to the mayor, thus leaving the council
without quorum. The trouble originated In
a difference as to whether State street should
be macadamized by breaking stones with
crusher or by hand. The committee on streets
having had powers delegated to them to pro-
cure it done by the lowest bidder, engaged a
contractor to do it, he breaking the stone in the
quarry with crusher. To secure the sympathy
of the laboring men and satisfy an old grudge
against the contractor, one of the aldermen op-
posed the crushing stone by machinery, and
succeeded in getting six other aldermen to side
with him at any attempt to annul the contract
Saturday their resolution was lost by tie vote,
whereupon seven of the aldermen resigned and
special election will have to be held to fill the
vacancy. An injunction is talked Of restrain-
ing the contractor from performing the work
which he has not yet begun. Considerable ex-
citement exists here over the matter.

UNIVERSITY TRAINING FROM A UTuTARIAN
NMw.-It is not pleasant thing to say, but
il is, nevertheless, true that, except in mi
nority of cases. Il university training leaves

cause, after Il two or three years residence ut
the university he acquires the right to affix
the initials b. A. to his name. On the other
hand, where the benefits of a university Ca
reer are distinctly felt and clearly visible,
they are such rs no other training in the
world could have conferred. But, however
large number these categories include there
must always be number at least AS large out
side them. An ordinary young man neither
brilliant nor dull, who has managed to get
through the university, not with distinction,


but with credit, finds himself at the age of
-, seriously deliberating how he is to become
a self-suppOrting institution. His education
is his only capital. He is too old to compete for
a large number of appointments in the civil
service nor has lie probably the special
knowledge which would enable him to COM
pete with any chance of success. He knows
nothing of the world-nothing' of men and
manners He may or he may not have ac-
qured thin veneer of priggishness and self
suticiency. What is he to do There are
literally only two things TO which, without in
terest or powerful connections, he eau turn
his hands. He may get ordained; or he may,
if he is exceedingly fortunate, gain Il post in
n school. Beyond this there is nothing and
neither alternative opens up an attractive or
