The great labor problem at present is
not a question of wages, but of work. A
year ago it was a question of the price
of labor. Now it is labor at any price.
One short year and t;;e democratic party
has revolutionized the whole problem
and humiliated labor beyond compari
son. And it may be the depth of that
humiliation has not yet been reached.

Judge Dundy of Omaha has decided
that Union Pacific receivers may cut

clear and simple when strained through

RANCH NATIONALITIES.
Dutchmen la the West Who Have Become
Thoroughly Americanised. !
In "The Wilderness Hunter" Theo
dore Roosevelt says that as a rule no
body displays much, curiosity about
other people's antecedents in the far
west; but on one occasion Mr. Roose
velt returned to his ranch and found a
strange hunter staying1 there, and
asked his foreman who was this new
comer, who evidently appreciated good
things and seemed inclined to make a
permanent stay, according to the cus
tom of the country.
My foreman, who bad a large way of
looking at questions of foreign eth
nology and geography, responded with
indifference: -
"Oh, he's a kind of a Dutchman; but
he hates the other Dutch mortal. , He's
from an island Germany took from
France in the last war."
This seemed puzzling; but it turned
out that the ''island" in question was
Alsace.
Native Americans predominate
among the dwellers on the borders of
the wilderness, and in the wild coun
try over which the great herds of the
cattlemen roam; and they take the
lead in every way. The sons of the
Germans, Irish and other European
newcomers are usually quick, to claim
to be "straight United States," and to
disavow 'all kinship with the fellow
countrymen of their fathers.
Once, while with a hunter bearing a
German name, we came by chance on
a German hunting-party from one of
the eastern cities.: One of them re
marked to my companion that he must
be part German himself, to which he
cheerfully answered: .
"Well, my father, was a Dutchman,
but my mother was a white woman!
I'm pretty white myself," whereat the
Germans glowered at him gloomily.
COTTON
AND
TOBACCO.
Old-Time Prices oC. These Commodities In
the South.
"We have before us," says the Rich
mond Journal of Commerce, "sales of
two bales of cotton and two hogsheads
of tobacco sold at Norfolk, Va., June
9, 1881,' by James Gordon, a life-time
commission merchant of that city. The
weights of the bales of cotton were 812
and 830 pounds. Price, 6 cents net
sales, $61.24. Weight of the two hogs
heads of tobacco, 1,375 and 1,476
pounds. Price, S2.50 and $3.25 per 100
pounds. Net sales of both, $68.35.
The accompanying letter says: 'I fear
you will be disappointed in the sales of
the tobacco. I confess it seems to me
a low price, but I assure you nothing
better can be done here.
"We are not posted as to how long
after this leaf tobacco was sold that
Norfolk continued a tobacco market.
"Wonder if a treaty was ever entered
into between Norfolk and Richmond,
that the one should sell cotton and the
other tobacco without business compe
tition. If we so "conclude the treatv
was like that of William Peun and 1
the Indians, unwritten for it has been J
faithfully kept to the present day. j
"The tobacco farmer of the hour i
may glean a ray of consolation as he
contemplates the price of tobacco in ;
1831 and compares it with its value in !
1893, and consoles himself with the
knowledge that our fathers received
less than present prices."
The SlentsrhikofTs.
The last representative of the famous
Russian family of Mentschikoff died a
short time ago in Baden Baden. The
founder of the family was Prince Alex
ander Danilovitch Mentschikoff, who
was the son of a stableman and the ap
prentice to a baker. The boy attracted
the attention of Gen. Lefort, who in
troduced him to Peter the Great.
Owing to his extraordinary cleverness-he
obtained great influence over
the czar and soon- advanced to the
highest place in the empire. In time
he became the most important and the
most feared man in Russia. In 1727,
however, he fell suddenly into dis
favor and was banished to Siberia, his
immense fortune being confiscated by
the crown. He became insane there
from brooding over his fall and losses,
and died in 1730. His son was restored
to favor, however, and the family
quickly regained its prominence. The
fortune of the last Mentschikoff, run
ning into the millions, will go to a dis
tant relative, Prince Sagarin.
She Won Her Point,
nearly half a century ago a maiden
lady residing in Roxborough purchased
an ax from George Davis, a hardware
dealer in Manayunk. The ax was in
constant service,' and by its many trips
to the grindstone was worn down until
the steel blade was no longer of use.
Recently the old lady carried the pole
or head of the ax to Manayunk to have
a new blade inserted. Meeting a friend,
he advised her' to go to Davis' store,
now kept by two sons of the former
proprietor, and get a new one in ex
change, as the old one was warranted
to last a life time. . The two Davis
brothers protested against exchanging,
while the lady vehemently urged her
rights. A large crowd soon congre
gated, everyone siding with the woman.
She finally triumphed, and walked out
of the store with a brand new article,
waving it over her head as an emblem
of her victory over the firm.
f '
Early Prejudice Against Women Doctors.
Medicine as a profession for women
is less than fifty years old. Dr. Mary
Zakrzewska, of Boston, has recently
published an interesting account of
the struggles of the pioneers in this
particular field. Harriet Hunt and
Elizabeth Blackwell were stirred bv
the idea that an important work might
be done by well-instructed medical
women. , The materialization of this
view resulted in complete social ostra
cism, impossible 'to be endured bv any
but the strongest and most courageous
women. JNo woman doctor ever earned
a living before 1860. No respectable
family in any commonly respectable
neiffhboorhood would let rooms to a
woman physician. Even when friends
gave her shelter a business card or .sign
. was not allowed. The lack of prac
tical training was really the stum
bling block and the cause of all this
MIDWINTER FAIR.
California Midwinter ' Interna- )
tional Exposition. Department V
of Publicity and Promotion. 1
Weekly Circular Letter No. 11. .
San Francisco, Feb. 9, 1894.
Nearly 200,000 people have passed the
turnstiles of the California Midwinter
Exposition during the first two weeks
of its existence. - This fact establishes
the sure success of the Exposition from
the standpoint of attendance, and the
verdict of the thousands who make np
this grand total has been unanimous in
favor of the success of the Exposition
from every point of "view.
Since the opening day, Jan. 27, no
special effort has been made to draw the
crowds. It has been the aim of the Ex
position management to let the 'many
features of the Exposition speak for
themselves, and exclamations of sur
prise and satisfaction have been heard
on every hand. The exhibits are now
practically all in position. There are no
holes in the floor, so to speak, and it is
noticeabje by those who visited .the
great Columbian' Exposition that even
the exhibits which were seen there ap
pear to have taken on new form here in
San Francisco, and the exhibitors have
undoubtedly profited by the experience
gained on the shore of Lake Michigan.
The largest spaces in the center ' of the
great floor of the Manufactures and
Liberal Arts building are occupied by
France, Germany, Russia and Italy.
Each of these countries is represented
by a display of artistic and useful man
ufactures which has never before been
seen outside of the great Columbian Ex
position, and in most instances the dis
plays brought from there have been
augmented by new supplies brought
across the Atlantic and across the conti
nent especially for this display.
- Bat in the midst of all this that is
not new to everybody, there is so much
in the Midwinter Exposition that is uni
versally unique and novel that there is
nothing of the "old story" about it.
The American section is particularly
prolific in novelty, and it occupies the
largest space assigned to any one conn
try, so that the international character
of the Exposition by no means shuts out
the glorification of home industries in
this beautiful industrial fair.
The Palace of Fine Arts has already
proved to be a revelation. Such a dis
play of pictures has never before been
seen in this part of the world. This de
partment did not depend 6n Chicago for
its pictures, though it got-a great many
of the best that were shown there. On
the walls of this building are hung later
pictures by well-known American,
French and German artists, and promi
nent among them are something like a
hundred of the works of the best artists
of the Pacific Coast. Connoisseurs say
that the Midwinter Art Palace is the
best arranged picture gallery that the
world has ever seen, and it certainly is
well adapted for the purpose to which it
is put. ..
In the eyes of Eastern visitors the cit
rus display naturally attracts the most
attention. It seems to be good for East
ern eyes to encounter a pear as bit3 a
baby's head and peaches almost as large,
to say nothing of so many oranges in
heaps and piles and buildings that there
is a great gleam of yellow before them
all the while. The rivalry between the
Northern and the Southern Citrus Fairs,
both of which are held in the Exposi
tion grounds, has been happily produc
tive of the best displays in this line that
have ever been made, even in Califor
nia. The Northern Citrus Fair awarded
its premiums during the past week.
The Southern Citrus Fair does not open
until Feb. 20. The buildings devoted to
this class of displays are proving quite
as popular as some of the main Exposi
tion buildings, and California citrus
fruits are getting the best advertise
ment they have ever had. - 1
One feature of the Exposition which
has emphasized itself since the opening
day is the excellence of the electric illu
minations. The' system of arc lighting
is as complete as anyone could wish, and
the incandescent system is well calcu
lated to arouse the enthusiasm of the
most latent soul. In these beautiful
midwinter evenings, whether the moon
shines or not, the entire Exposition'
grounds are as light aa day. Long lines
of incandescent lights stretch the entire
length of each of the main buildings and
outline all - their architectural points.
The dome of the Administration build
ing is outlined against the deep
blue sky, the straight lines of the
Mechanic Arts building are clear
cut against the background of
the nigkt, the classic outlines of the
Fine Arts palace enhance the effect that
structure always has, and the peculiarly
effective architecture of the great palace
of . Manufacturers and ' Liberal Arts
seems never to be seen at better advant
age than when its thousands of incan
descent electric lights are lighted.
The Horticulture and Agriculture
building, however, is the one that seems
to attract most attention in this partic
ular. This is perhaps due to the fact
that its lines contain more curves and
more architectural 'eccentricities than
any other, but it is undoubtedly due in
a larger degree to the great flood of light
which pours through the big glass
dome that surmounts the building. Vis
itors seem at a loss to decide whether
the prettier picture is presented by day,
when the deep green of California's mid
winter foliage lends its aid, or at night
when artificial light plays so prominent
a part. All are agreed, however, that
the Calif ornia Midwinter International
Exposition is the prettiest "World's Fair
that has ever been held upon God's foot
stool, and the concessionaires, many of
whom have staked their all to cross the
continent and share the success of this
industrial venture, and who may be con
ceded to be good judges of the promise
of such an exposition, are united in the
opinion that this fair will be an immense
success, and that that success' will be
readily recognized without cavil and
without the local jealousies that have
too often surrounded similar enterprises.
