July 24, 1873 - k Anjlowa 'merchant won't advertise in the papers but paints on the fences " Go two Allen's for yer-dri-goods." '. ;A Boston father is taking .French lessons in. order to resume intercourse with his children who have been living in Prance for fiv-e yeais. . A Des' Moines girl ran awy with : -acircus, and her father followed and lodged so much birdshot in the funny clown thatthe funny clown hasn't atepeatca ajoKe since. Apply .salt to the tomatoes at various times during the season. It increases the growth of both plant . and fruit. Sprinkle young plants with a tablespoonful of salt. Plants treated with salt at the root take an immediate start and develop line fruit. ;' Mr. Joseph Medill, editor, and Mayor of Chicago, was asked by a newspaper reporter if he would run -again for the mayoralty. His honor replied, "There isn't political, social, or pecuniary inducements in Chicago to hire me not if the unanimous vote of every soul in the city were added. I have had enough." Everything must have its ups and downs, its alternating sunshine and showers, and tho sheep business is no exception. But we -do notknow of an industry which rests upon a more legitimate and safe basis. To start with, the production of wool is not equal to the woints of the country; .and the growth of our population is such, that it requires each vear the product of 4,000,000 more sheep than it did the vear before. Coin Dollars Four hundred thou sand new silver trade dollars have been delivered by the Philadelxhia Mint. Dies for the dollar will be sent to San Francisco and Carson Mints, in the early part of the present week, where plan diets are ready for coin age. At San Francisco there will be two hundred thousand, and at Car son one hundred thousand dollars per month supplied.. It is thought that within the next six months' there may be sucli a decline in silver bullion as to throw some of these new dollars into circulation in the-east. A French organ in New York city, speaking of the subsiitution of Mar shal MacMahon for Thiers in the Presidency of the French Pvepubiic says: "Faction has made its revolu tion against the national sentiment, against the electoral body, against France, against .the Republic; more than that, against the new founded order, against peace, "against confi dence within and without, against re-established prosperity, against a triumphant credit, and against that supreme aspiration of the country the liberation of French territory 'by 'the bunds, the wisdom and the honor of the Republic." The San Diego Union expresses the opinion that, as Gen. Crook has "fallen in love with Arizona,", he will, as soon as peace is established on a firm basis, offer his resignation, purchase a 'tract of land, become a citizen of Arizona, and join with the cam est and persevering people, of the Territory' in the material develop ment of the country. This is th'6 first intimation we have heard thatGen. Crook contemplated tendering a res ignation, and we are loth to believe that it has any foundation, peneral Crook has chosen the ,Army fas his home, and Ave do not believe that he intends giving up a profession in which he has been so eminently suc cessful, and of such great. service to the country. He is now the best praised man in America, for his suc cess over the Indians and the hollow hearted but no less vicious scoundrels of the miscalled Christian Indian Ping, around both of which vile bodies he has formed an anacgnda that is making their infernal bones crack. Leading men and newspapers of every section of the country are praising the General, and right well has he earned said praise, as. the heartfelt thanks of all frontier peo ple here and elsewhere. ., CHINESE COST US. A r XT "i. tf ll (From tho San Francisco Call.) In coming to the Call officeyester day morning, through one of our most populous streets jQve sawin the T3asement of the building some fifteen .or iwen ty- Chin esc a1rwarlroirshoes. This led us to make an estimate sis "to the advantage or disadvantage of ihaving this class of population in ; California. Iii the first place we hare about fifty thousand Chinese in California, and this fifty thousand realize for their labor at least one dollar per head each day on an average over and above the money expended for such commodities as they purchase from our people. Including manu facturing establishments which are Carried On bv Chinese, OUr estimate nf rv.n ,in Ct ii OI Olie dollar as profits, which are taken out of the country, is rather under than over rated. There seems no doubt whatever that fifty thou sand dollars per day are drawn from this coast for Chinese labor, which sum of money goes to China, from whence it never returns. This would give us a total tax, for having the services of the Chinese, of 1,500,000 per month, or $18,000,000 per annum. Here is a drain upon the resources of California, Oregon and Nevada fear ful to contemplate. This labor, to a very great extent, is a -dead loss to our citizens, for the Chinese do not erect our dwellings nor leave any permanent improvements behind. Neither do they open farms. They manufacture a few commodities, raise a few vegetables, and -assist in culti vating vineyards; but large numbers are employed as domestic servants, or extract gold from gulches. The work done by tho Chinese could, to a great extent be more advantageous ly performed by our own people. "We have an ample labor supply in this State, if it were utilized; or we could draw it from the Eastern States; and the money earned in this' way would be saved 'to California to start manufacturing establishments, erect dwellings, -stores, etc. All classes of population except the Chinese add to the wealth of the country, but money earned by theChinese is carried away. As we have stated before, this coast is paying tribute for Chinese labor annually to the amount of some eighteen millions of dollars. This money, we contend, could be saved by employing another class of labor. If all would make it a jxrint to employ workmen who live amongst us are of us and invest their means here instead of sending it to China, the State would soon be in a most ros perous condition. But, on the" con trary, should our citizens continue to employ Chinese, and let the labor of our own people to a very great ex tent be lost, we shall have a depress ed community. Instead of our streets being occupied by a white popula tion, with workshops and stores on every hand, with a happy and con tented people, we .shall have a Hong kong in our midst, and Chinese deal ers alone will be found upon our principal thoroughfares. Even now no white tenant will hire a building on certain streets. The nuisance is like a cancer; it becomes fastened in a particular locality, and from thence it spreads, until property is ruined all around for any other purpose ex cept the. use of Chinese. At one time it was supposed that Chinese labor could be utilized with advan tage; that laborers alone which was bad enough, would sutler; but as soon as Chinese .workmen learn a branch of business, from that moment the Chinese laborer not only supplants the white workman, but he supplants also the white employer. A Duluth editor publishes statistics to prove tliat within nine years that embryo city will need fifty elevators, one thousand steamers and tens of thousands of railroad cars. He sees it all "in his mind's eye," and is so confident all this will come to pass, that he will sell a half interest in his printing ofiice for a new milch cow. A cheerful acceptance of the fact that honest, steady, persistent, work, year after year, some of it hard work, some of it disagreeable, is necessary for. the farmer, is another element of success.
