Some of Senator Plumb's Kansas con

California fruit growers have been mak
ing f rrtuaes this year. They have had a
good fruit crop and a good market. The
failure of nearly all kinds of fruit in all
parts of the country, except California, has
given them a chance to send their fruit to
New York and other distant cities, and to
obtain a good price for it.
The talk about improving the roads of
this county shows that better roads are de

they are good it is always certain that the
people are thrifty and prosperous.
The Assistant Secretary of the Interior,
Mr. Bussey, doesn’t see anything wrong iu
the relations between Commissioner Raum
and Pension Claim Agent Lemon. Tho in
dorsement of Raum’s notes by Lemon, he
thinks, was all right. The Assistant Secre
tary seems to have a child-like faith iu
human nature—in the human nature of his
fellow office-holders.
The story is given out that tho men who
have been arrested for wrecking a train on
the New York Central railroad the other
day are not tho men wanted by the author
ities. It is alleged that innocent men have
been arrested, that it is not known who
the train wreckers arc. In view of the large
reward offered, it is certain that the hunt
for the guilty parties will not soon be aban
doned.
The story that one of those who is under
arrest on the charge of having assisted in
wrecking a traiu of sleeping ccachei on the
New York Central railroad last Friday has
confessed is pronounced to be untrue. No
one of those who placed the obstructions on
the track is going to make a confession of
his wrongdoing very soon. A confession
would hardly insure immunity from pun
ishment.
Is it not about time the northern papers
were commenting on tho crimes of violence
committed in New England. They are get
ting to be very common. Not long ago
there was a shocking tragedy near Danbury,
Conn., and on Thursday there was another
in the same locality. The last one was the
shooting of John J. Waters, a middle-aged
farmer, by George Knowles, aged 21 years.
The shooting was the outcome of a family
feud. Asa matter of fact there are about
as many crimes of violence iu the north as
in the south.
Open Saloons on Sunday.
Thed ors of the dram-shops might as
well be wide open on Sundays, since tnere
appears to be more drinking in the dram
shops on those days than on other days of
the week. Because the front doors are
closed it doesn’t follow that the dram-shops
are closed.
A empie of weeks ago a negro was found
dead on Monday morning near a dram
shop. It was said that he died from
the effects of whisky obtained in that dram
shop the day before. Yesterday a negro
was badly beaten in a dram-shop where a
1< tof negroes were drinki.ig. If statements
that are mat' are trim, many of the dram
shops were full of negroes pretty much all
day yesterday, loading themselves with bad
whisky.
Nobody seems to care much whether the i
dram shops are open on Monday or not.
There is an ordinance against keeping thorn
open, but it is not enforced. The Morninh
News has cal lei the mayor’s attention to this
matter many times, b it the dram shops are
still open on Sundays. No effort appears to
be made to close them.
Tnefact is, there doesn’t seem to be a pub
lic sentiment in the city strong enough to
fores the authorities to apply tha remedy to
this Sunday dram-shop evil.
It is understood that it is the purpose of
the prohibitionists to apply to the next leg
isture for a general prohibition law, which
will close the dramshops not only on Sun
days, but on all other days of the week. If
they do apply the chances are that their
application will be granted. The legisla
ture. from present indications, will he com
posed largely of farmers who are prohibition
ists, and they will not hesitate to adopt
extreme minsures against the whisky evil.
If the dramshop keepers And they
have no friends to assist ttieai in opposing
such a sweeping law they will not forget,
probably, t at in defying the Sunday liquor
law they themselves created the demand
fora general prohibition law. As long as
the liquor question is mixed up with muni
cipal politic! there is not much probability
that the Sunday drinking evil will be
remedied.
Labor Laws of Europe.
The United States consul at Suttgart has
prepared a synopsis of the labor laws of
Europe, particularly those relating to the
hours of work and the employment of
women and children. In Germany children
under 12 years are not allowed to work in
factories, and those between 12 and 14
years may work six hours daily.
For adult women there is comparatively
little protection in Germany. The labor
laws of Austria on the forgoing points are
similar to those of Germany. In Hungary
the laws forbid the employment of children
under 10 years in manufactories. The
working hours are fixed by the trades au
thorities at eight hours for children from
12 to 14 years of age, and ten hours for chil
dren from 14 to 16 years. Night and Sun
day work is prohibited. In Great Britain
there are special laws governing the em
ployment of women and ohildreu, the sub
stance of which is as follows;
Iu the textile industries the laboring
hours for women and children between 14
and 18 years are from six to seven hours iu
the morning, and from six to seven hours
in the afternoon, with two hours rest for
meals, making altoarether ten working
hours per day. Children may only be em
ployed for six hours daily, or ten hours
every other day. In the other manu
factories the time is 10>£ hours for women
and young persons, and hours for chil
dren, or ten hours every other day. In
housework the time for women and young
people is fixed at 10} 4 hours, and children
may only work from 6 a m. to 1 p. m., or
from 1 to 6p. in., with a half hour’s rest.
In England children above the age of 10
may bo employed in factories. Women and
children under the ago of 12 are not allowed
in the English coal mines. In Franca chil
dren under 12 years of age are prohibited
from working in mines and factories, but
notable exceptions are made in textile, glass
and paper factories. It is magnanimously
provided, however, in these exceptions
that the children must not be employed
more than ten hours a day,
and they must be allowed to “visit” school.
SwHs children must bo 14 years old before
they can begin work in factories, and
women and ohildren are not allowed to
labor nights or on Sunday in Switzerland,
and at no time in the Immediate vicinity of
motors or dangerous machinery. Belgium
offers hardly any preelection to her work
ing women and childreu, while Holland
fixes the working time for women, boys
and girls at eleven hours daily, and pro
hibits night and Sunday work.
In Italy, the age limit for working child
ren is nine years. In Denmark ten to four
teen years and only hours labor each
day are allowed. In Sweden and Norway
night work and factory labor for minors
under twelve years is forbidden. Children
under twelve are, with a “few exceptions,”
excluded from the Russian factories. Spain
protects ouly the child under ten years.
Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Rou
mania and Servia have no labor laws. La
borers there have to be grateful that they
ore allowed to live. In nearly all the coun
tries the laws prohibit Sunday work, but it
is a well-known fact that the Sunday labor
laws in Europe, except in England, are
practically a dead letter.
Mr. Gladstone is an enthusiastic advocate
of manual training. In an address before
the Literary Institute of Saltrey, on Fri
day, he “extolled the value of the technical
training of artisans, whom he exhorted to
work to the best of their ability and to
avoid scamping. He appealed to the work -
ing classes to banish the false idea of the re
spectability of the lower grades of olerk
ships, where, ho said, competition was more
severe than in any branch of mauual labor.
Owing to competition, the bettor educated
Germans were willing to work at half
price, while in a multitude of departments
hand labor was capable of being raised to a
high degree of excellence.” Words like
these from such a source ought to inspire
young men to look to hand labor for a fut
ure rather than to waste their time in clerk
ships at salaries scarcely large enough to sup
port them, and which promise little for the
future. Some of the ideas of respectability
whion youug men entertain are false ideas.
It now looks as if Representative Cannon
would not he re-olected, and that his defeat
would be due to his mouth. If he should
be defeated he would be known in future,
probably, as “dirty-mouth Cannon.”
Fifteen republican papers in his district
have thus far announced their intention not
to support him. The latest to make the an
nouncement is tha Daily Commercial, pub
lished in Cannon's own town of Danville.
The Commercial is the most influential
paper iu Cannon’s district, and for eighteen
years has assisted him in fighting his politi
cal battles. The article in which the Com
mercial declines to render Cannon further
assistance is beaded “Not for Joe.”
THE MORNING NEWS ; MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1890.
A Government Standard for Grain.
; A bill of very considerable interest to
! farmers is now pending in the Houses
There is no politics in it. If there were a
greater effort would be made in its behalf.
In view of the fact, however, that the
farmers’ alliance is stirring np congressmen,
it may receive some attention before the
end of thD session. The bill provides for
establishing a uniform standard for wheat,
corn, oats, barley and other grains.
The committee on agriculture, in its re
port on this bill, says: "That there is urgent
need for a national standard governing the
classification and grading of grain, uniform
in its applica’ion to the several kinds of
grain produced in the several states, is evi
dent when the fact is known that there ex
ists no uniformity in the rules governing
the classification and grading of grain in
the several states, and that an identical
consignment of grain, classified and graded
according to the standard of one state, may
be rated os of a different class and grade in
any other market. For example, a shipper
of No. 2. wheat from one market has
no assuaance, even though the identity of
the consignment be preserved, that the
wheat will grade above No. 3 when graded
according to the standard in auother state,
the disposition being to make the grade as
low as possible In order that inferior grain
may be added without detection, and with
out danger of condemning the grain to a
lower grade in the open market. The
mixing of grain of different grades by the
manipulators of the gram markets, thus
inflicting great injustice upon the producers
of good grain, and placing upon the market
adulterated and unwholesome food, is one
of the evils for which this bill provides a
remedy.”
The bill requires the Secretary of Agri
culture to establish a standard for classify
ing and grading grains, but it is not in
tended that the standard so fixed shall inter
fere with any local standard or the inspec
tion laws of any state. All that is pro
posed is to secure uniformity. It can be
seen readily that under the present condi
tion of affairs producers are to a large ex
tent at the mercy of the dealers. If all
dealers were honest a uniform standard
would Dot be urgently demanded, perhaps,
but some dealers are not honest,
and, in fact, some producers are not. If this
bill should become a law the producers of
clean and high grades of grain would be
protected and remunerated, and purchasers
would know exactly what they were get
ting. While, as a rule, it seems to be the
better [Jan to let commercial matters regu
late themselves, this bill seeins to be legisla
tion in the right direction. And. if it were
possible, would it not he advisable to have a
government staudaril for cotton as well as
for grain?
Preserve Our Forests.
The necessity for protecting our forests
from spoliation and wanton destruction, a
subject which the American Forestry asso
ciation will consider at its meeting in Can
ada next month, appears most urgent. All
over the couutry the forests suffer from
devastation, no inconsiderable part of which
is absolute waste. The frightful de
struction of forests in Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota has
about reached its end. Last year these
states produced 8,306,000,000 feet of lumber
and nearly 4,700,000,000 shingles. The 29,-
000,000,000 feet reported as standing in
Lower Michigan ten years ago have
dwindled down to 3,000,000,000, or one
tenh that amount. In Maine, New Hamp
shire and Vermont there wa , by
the census of 1880, a product
standing of 7,205,000,000 feet, with
an annual cut of 653,281,000 feet.
This forest growth is by this time reduced
to but little more than a year’s supply. The
pine timber in the south is by no means in
exhaustible. The saw-mills of the north
could in a very short time convert into lum
ber the merchantable pine of Georgia,
Alabama, the Carolinas and Florida.
The forest area of the United
States, excluding Alaska, is 500,000,000
acres. Of this some 185,000.000
are on farms, and the remainder is chiefly
owned by railroad corporations, mine own
ers, lumbermen and speculators. The pub
lic domain has 60,000,000 acres of forest.
The railroads require 60,000,000 ties, some
500,000,000 cubic feet, a year, with renewals
every seven or ten years. The cooperage
interest requires 250,000,000 feet of wood;
the carriage builders 25,000,000.
But the wooded area occupied by farmers
is gradually extending. Groves and trees
are planted or preserved with care; lands
not suitable for profitable tillage are sur
rendered to stock which in a few years
will prove highly renumerntive. From 400
to 600 trees, each capable of producing two
ties or more, can be grown in twenty years
on a single acre. Arbor day, too, has given
an impetus to tree planting iu all the states
where such a day u observed. On the
other baud, tbo timber culture act has
proved a failure.
To preserve our forests waste in cutting
trees should be prevented, .aud no timber
should bo allowod to be cut except for build
ing aud commercial purposes. It may also
boa good idea to utilize the abandoned
farms in New England and let them grow
up iu pine timber again. They would then
be more valuable than they aio now and
would yield a profit to their owners. The
necessity for the preservation of our forests
and the encouragement of timber culti
vation for sanitary aud economic reasons is
also apparent.
Prince George appears to be a jolly good
fellow. The other night in Montreal he and
a lieutenant started out to see the town. In
one of the dark streets they were attacked
by six roughs. The prince aud the lieuten
ant. placing their backs together, knocked
out the roughs iu true British stylo. While
they were looking at the six prostrate
roughs a couple of thick-witted French po
licemen came along and carried the prince,
the lieutenant and the roughs to the station
house. The prince and lieutenant were
soon released, however, but little the worse
for their experi euoe.
Gen. Gordon is meeting with enthusiastic
reception iu those parts of the state in
which he is addressing public meetings.
His popularity seems to be as great as ever
it was. The people he should talk to
especially, however, are those who have
been nominated for the legislature. It
would not benefit him if two-thirds of the
people of the state should throw up their
hats for him if the members of the legis
lature should weigh him in the balance and
tiud him wanting.

“Sleep Has Refreshed ”
From the Washington Crttic.
“Somno Refectis Artubus.”
Sleep has refreshed our limbs —we spring
From off our bed and rise;
Lord, on thy suppliants, while they sing.
Look with a Father's eyes.
• Be thou the first on every tongue,
The first in every heart.
That all our doings all day long
Holiest from thee may start.
Cleans.' thou the gloom, and bid the light
Its healing beams renew.
The sins which have crept in with night
With night shall vanish too.
Our bosoms. Lord, unburdenjthou—
Let nothing there offend —
That those who hymn thy praises now
May hymn them to the end.
Grant this, O Father, only Son
And Spirit—God of grace—
To whom all worship shall be done
In every time and place.
—Cardinal Newman.

Tennessee Superstition.
The greatest excitement ever known is being
created in this (Weakley) county, says a Green
field (Tenn.) special to the Memphis Avalanche,
by the appearance of a witch in the
family of Frank Hays, living three miles
southeast of this town in the Ninth district, Mr
Hays granddaughter, about 14 years of age.
being the object upon which the wicked phan
tom has centered.
The young lady is prostrated and hundreds
are flocking there to see the effects of the at
tack, whicn, strange to say, no one can explain
Shu is perfectly sane until she hears them com
ing, when she goes into violent spasms, and de
clares she can hear roaring as like distant
thunder, and she can see animals making their
way to her.
Now comes the strangest part of the story,
and a number qf the most reliable men in the
county can vouob for this as a fact, there bein
eye-witnesses to the same. After each attack
a small roll or bat of cotton is found clinging
to the victim’s neck just above her breast, and
the most incredible ones have held their
bauds very tightly against her neck and found,
after the spell Is over, baueath their hands the
mysterious cotton. When the rumor first went
out that this strange case was in the country
the people ail ridiculed such, but the excite
ment is now at its hight on; account of all
being at a loss to account for the whole affair.
The family stated to your correspondent that
they have been threatened by so-called witches
in the past. Notwithstanding how purely ab
surd this may seem to any one who has not
seen the entire affair, it is certainly a mystery
to say the least.
Merely a Matter of Business.
She was a mature woman, with high cheek
bones, a dappled face aud red hair, says tbe
Pittsburg Dispatch. Flinging aside her bonnet,
she got up into the dentist’s chair, leaned her
head back, opened her mouth and pointed to a
tooth on the lower jaw.
“I wish you'd see what’s wrong with that
grinder,” she said.
“Tes, ma’m,” replied the dentist, in a sympa
thizing tone, “Has it been hurting you long;''’’
“Who said it bad been hurting me?”
“Beg pardon, ma’am. 1 inferred ’’
“Well, you don’t need to infer anything. If
you're ready to look at that grinder, doctor, I’m
ready to open my mouth again.”
And she opened it.
“The tooth, madam.” he said, after a brief
examination, “is a mere shell. I regret ”
“What occasion is there for you to regret any
thing? Whose grinder is it?”
“I was going to say it Is to late too save the
tooth. It’s too far gone. If it’s troubling you
any it will have to come out. ”
“Well, that’s wbat Pm here for.”
“It will be hard to get hold of it with the for
ceps, and lam sorry to say it will hurt ”
“Does it hurt you to pull a customer's tooth?”
she demanded.
“Of course not, but ”
“Well, then, you needn't feel sorry. I am
here on business. I don't need any sympathy
Yank it out.” J
The thoroughly humbled tooth artist wasted
no more words. He produced a pair of ugly
looking forceps and extracted tne offending
molar without delay.
“Wbat’s your bill?” inquired the woman.
“Fifty cents.”
“That’s the regular price, is it? You’re not
charging anything for sympathy?”
“It is the regular price, madam.”
“Here's the money. Gooa-day!”
After she had gone out of his office the den
tist went aud sat down by the front window to
rest.
“If I had that woman’s nerve,” he said to him
self, as l.e w itched her striding down the street
“1 could be an alderman and own a whole w ard
in less than three months:”
On Exhibition Here.
The several signs at the door announced a
grand exhibition of snakes, a tattooed woman,
wax figures representing the twelve disciples
and the last supper, with rare animals, etc. As
we entered the place, says the New York Sun,
the lecturer was all ready to begin. He said:
‘‘l adies and gentlemen, this woman was taboed
by the savages of Borneo. Some call it tat
toed and some taboed, but it ull means the
same thing. Next to her is a guerilla from
At'ricu. The guerilla is noted for sucking the
blood of people asleep. I don’t know whether
it’s when the guerilla or the people is asleep
and odds is the difference to you.
• This, good people," he continued, “passing
to the next cage, "is the celebrated buoy con
structor from South Atnerioa. This reptile is
able to oriish an ox in his folds. On the left of
him is the raccoon, so-called from its gait
which is that of a racking horse. Next beyond
is a beaver, which secures its name from Beaver
Kalis, Wis. That animal on the right is called
a porkupine, so named from its love of pork,
and that on the left is an oppossum. Tile last
named creature get* its name from the Grecian
word op, the 1 *tin word pos, and the Hebrew
word sum."
He then posed before the wax figures, and
went on:
"This disciple is John, that one Hercules, that
one Mark, that one Cicero, and so on; all good
men except Judas 'Scarrot. Each figure is an
exact reproduction of the celebrated painting
by Nero, and virtue is its own reward "
An old gentleman with spectacles hung in
our rear as wo went out, and said to the
lecturer
"Aren’t you mistaken about Hercules?”
"No, sir."
"Sure you ain’t?”
I-ook a here, old man!" exclaimed the lec
turer. a* he squared off. "Eve been in the show
I.Hidne*. for twenty odd years, and if you think
you know the ropes tetter than I do you can
take command."
"O, no, no, no: You are doubtless right—
quite right—and of course you know your busi
ness. Only !"
"Only what?"
"O, well, never mind. It struck me as a
little queer, but I guess it's ail right—all right.
It was because 1 aui rather nutty ou such mat
ters, probably. Very entertaining, very, and I

white body and two arms. In swimming it ap
pears just like a human being. At times it will

The size or substance of a silk thread li usu
ally estimated by deniers. The ounce troy and
the ounce pois de marc of Lyons, by the latter
of which silk is tested in France and Italy, are
equal in weight, but are differently subdivided
The ounce troy is divided into 20 pennyweights
of 24 grains each, making 480 grains in the
ourc i; the ounce of Lyons, pois de marc, is di
vided into 24 drams, which, multiplied by 28,
equals 576 deniers. The denier is. therefore'
on -sixth less than the grain troy. The Eng
lish reel is 818 bouts of 44 inches, and equals 1,000
yards. The French, 430 ells, or 475 metres,
equals 520 yards. The standard of silk measure
is about 400 yards; that length of a single fila
ment from China cocoons will weigh 2 deniers

A Masonic apron, made in England about
three centuries ago, is soon to be put on exhi
bition in this country. The apron is fourteen
inohes square and is made of white kid On
the top is a semi-circular fiap on which Charity
is represented in tile person of a woman tend
ing infants. In the center is an open Bible, sur
rounded by the customary Masonic emblems
the square and compass. Both points of the
latter are hidden, suggestive of an “entered ap
prentice" apron. On the 1-ft side of the apron
is a figure with its left arm terminating at the
hand in a half-moon, while the right band is
held aloof. This figure represents Hope
On the right side of the apron is an
other figure. Its left hand grasps a cross
while its right hand holds a Bible. This is sup'
posed to represent Faith. Originally the apron
was ornamented by a mass of silver bullion
Unfortunaiely, however, a lady, to whom the
apron was temporarily lent, stripped it of its
ornamentation. The kid skin is exceedingly
well preserved, although changed to a light
brown color. Only a limited number of these
aprons were made. This particular apron was
presented to a past master and knight templar
of Unity lodge. No. 154, of Ringwood, Hamp
shire, England, in !?!!>. It has remained in the
family ever since. In 1872 the apron was put
on exhibition in the various Masonic
lodges in and around London. It was
known to be the only one of its kind in exist
ence, and consequently created a great deal of
interest among masons all over the world.
The owner of the apron was besieged by par
sons who were bent on buying it. Large offers
of money were made, but were firmly refused.
A physician and prominent masou offered 2,000
guineas ($10,000), but even this sum was
scorned. The apron is now in the possession of
au English lady. who. believing that it will be
an object of great interest to the masons of the
United States by putting it on publlo exhibi
tion, has generously decided to do so.
