r OOTTON MILLS JN JAPAN.
Last week we published a yory
complete sobedalo of tlio wages paid
to different kinds of labor in Japan,
showing what tbo fatnre of wages is
likely to be iu Ibis conntry uudor the
absolute free trade policy promised
us by the friends of foreign indus
tries. We then said:
The only nianuer in which we
could possibly socnro n sharo of Jap
anese trade is by manufacturing
goods on the I'acitic coast with Chi
nese labor.
This same idea has ovidontly oc
curred to tho Japanese themselves,
and with a view to a complete system
of protection and tho exclusion of
American cotton goods made by Chi
neso labor they have made a proposi
tion to the California Cotton Mills of
East Oakland for the removal of
their entire plant to Japan.
This company, we learn from the
San Francisco Chronicle, was oigau
ired in 1883 with a capital of 000.
000. It has given employment to as
many-as 350 persons nt a time and
has paid ont not less than $1,000,000
in wsgas. Tho California company
has not yet begun the employment
of Chinese labor but is seriously con
sidering the Japanese offer, which
includes absolute exemption from all
taxation for twenty years and a
promise to supply expert male label
for 18 cents a day, whilo for girls
and boys tho rate of pay will be eight
cents a day.
That the Japanese appreciate the
cheap labor in California is without
question. AVe haTe a practical illns
tratjonof it in their offer to tho Colt
ojnijsdmpany. Thoy do not fear so
Binch" the competition from Eastern
and Southern mills, owing to the
much higher freight rato that would
have to be paid on goods shipped
from those sections of the conntry
But they do fear California competi
tion, knowing f ull well that, under
free trade, American manufacturers
could not afford to pay more than
uwnese -wages, ine Japanese are
to be complimented on their fore
sight and the active measures they
are taking to establish a thorough
8 stem of protection. American

HARRJSOX A PATRIOT.
Harrison is not in reality a candi
didate for the presidency and would
not turn over a Anger to influence a
"delegate or" secure a nomination.
For ilcKinley, Reed, Morton and
others who are prominently men
tioned, he habitually speaks with
expressions of tho highest esteem.
He is able to conceive, as are all hon
est republicans, a condition of affairs
(inhvbich the republican convention
ana the republican party might
tnrn irresistably to him, to lead the
fight against democracy, and a nom
ination coming to him in such a way
without 'his effort, and even against
his personal protest, whatever per
sonal disinclination or personal sac
rifices it would entail, General Har-
rison is too patriotic an American
to refuse.
The idea of completing the Pan
ama Canal still haunts iho minds of
the French. They Lave spent or
been robbed cf $220,000,000 in that
region, and naturally are slow to be
lieve that this must be a total loss.
Seme, engineers say the Panama
Canal can be finished for 100,000,
000 and others make the estimate as
lpVss 20,000,000. Equally good
engnfiiers report that the Nieoragua
Canal can bo built for 'about 100,
000,000. Bat for this-nval and bet
ter, route tho French stockholders
wenld probtbly resume work at Pan
ama in spite of tho stupendous fail
arte and mistakes that bayo beset
them on the Isthmus.
''The markets of the world are not

Arms For Cubans.
New Yohk, Sept. C Tbo Press prints
tho following: Yesterday afternoon
word was received by Tomas Estrada
Palms, president, (bat a largo consign
ment of arms for tho Cuban insurgents
would be shipped from New Orleans this
morning. A message aleo canio about
thoeamo time from Now Orleans to a
secret agent of tho Spanish government.
According to theso dispatches SQOO
Remington rifles and 300,000 cartridges
were to bo shipied to somo small Cuban
port. These had been lying on the
Charles-street whaif in Now Oilcans for
uevend days paet, packed in barrels of
flour. Immediately after midnight, tho
diepatch said, a lighter would leave tho
Charles-street wharf. Whon tho lighter
reached :i point eoven miles from tho
ehoro tho arms and ammunition would
be transferred to the ocean tug Restless,
which would start for Cuba forthwith.
Before C o'clock last night tbo news
was in iossesaion ot a Spanish agent.
President Pal ma did not know that the
secret had been discovered by the enemy.
At midnight it was not known whether
the shipment had been prevented. Tbo
secret agent in this city, it is said, pro
posed to wait until tho Restless should
have got outsido tho the three-mile limit
before having her pounced upon by the
Spanish gun boat.
The Dreaded Cholera.
Washington, Sept. C Surgeon-General
Wyman, of the mariuo hospital ser
vice, says there is no foundation for tho
story of a threatened invasion ot San
Francisco by cholera.
"Just aa soon as an intimation was
conveyed that there were suspicions
cases aboard the Belgic," said General
Wyraau, "I telegraphed tho sanitary in
spector at San Francisco, for informa
tion. Ho stated there was absolutely no
truth in the report that passengers bad
died oi cholera, or of any other infection
aboard iho steamer. The oaly report
from San Fni.ncis.co that I know any
thing about is of a reassuring and not of
an alarming character. There is no epi
demic of cholera threatened at San Fran
cisco or any other port in tho United
States.
mid Measures Best.
New Yokk, Sept. C. A sjecial to tho
World from '.Colon states that in refer
ring to tho dispatches reporting that a
Spanish squadron L going to the An
tilles to urge Spain's claims against the
United States in the Allbnca affair, the
Isthmian Press says:
"Such a more on the part of Spain at
present would hasten her downfall more
than anything else. She has a good
strons navy, bnt let her not forget that
the United States has a navy too. If she
looks at the United States navy list she
will see something that will startle her
and cause her to take a milder cnursc in
treating with Uncle Sam."
A Youthful Traveler.
New Yoax, Sept. C Joseph Altman,
6 years old, arrived, unaccompanied, in
the Bteerage of the steamer Lalm, from
Bremen. Joseph's parents died recently
in Germany, leaving him a small sum ot
money. It was decided to send the boy
to hisfsister in San Francisco. Ono cf
bis coat sleeves bore a big tag, giving his
naaie, age and destination. In his.
pocket ho had 100 marks (about f25
and a railroad ticket to San Francisco.
He was taken to Ellis island by the
steward of the Lahn, who afterwards
placed him on the train.

In nemoriam.
"Pappy" Gildorsloovo has passed on
to tho beyond and left many sorrowing
friends to mourn his loss. We call him
"Pappy," as it seems to us it would bo
almost sacrilego to mention him by any
other name, a namo ho has been famil
iarly known by for so many years. Last
Thursday at his burial, Hon. Georgo M.
Brown delivered a high eulogy on the
life and character of our deceased friend,
and when ho mado allusion to tho burial
of hia own father and mother in tho
cometery in which wo stood, tear drops
moistened many an oyo of those present,
It was a most effecting allusion to
departed parents and friends.
Now when a brother's hand grows cold,
And he sinkB down by death o'ercome,
We lay our heart on his of mould
And feel indeed our lips are dumb.
Tho gifts of words are littlo worth
To praise a tenant of the bier;
So we but givo his dust to earth,
Shrined silent in love's conscious tear.
