would prevent the companies
from moderately advancing their
charges to offset the increased
cost of operation. When the
manufacturer is obliged to pay
higher prices for raw material
and increased wages he does the
only possible thing in the circum
stances and correspondingly
raises the charge for his product.
The railways are obliged to pay
increased prices for supplies and
higher wages, and it is only rea
sonable that they should get more
for what they sell, namely, trans
portation. That they are impelled to raise
their charges is plain from cur
rent traffic returns showing in
creased gross takings, while costs
of operation have increased in
still greater ratio, with resulting
decreas in net earnings. Unless
the greatest of all industries is
permitted to prosper the country
cannot be prosperous.

It might have been otherwise
but it isn't; it is Mistah John
sing now; Jim Jeffries belongs to
the "has been" family, and it is
only a matter of time until Mis
tah Johnsing will join the group
if he continues to follow the
brutal business.
Ashland, Oregon, had secured
some 1000 signatures to their
initiative petition to place the
Normal School proposition be
fore the people at last report and
have doubtless filed their peti
tion before this appears, as July
7th, closed the time for riling
such measures.
News of July 4th so far re
cords less accidents than on
other like occasions of the past.
However the destructive lire dis
play got in its work occasional
ly, and at Colfax, Washington
tire works started a costly lire
on the night of the 4th which
caused a loss of about $24000.
The fight germ is the latest
allliction to strike the country.
It started at Reno, and while a
large crowd had gathered there
fpom far and near, yet the Reno
affair was tame compared with
that of many cities of the Ivast
and South where riots took place
between white men and Negroes
and as a result some thirty men
havn lost their lives, most of
whom were black. The Reno
sowing is being harvested, and
the increase is irreat.
One of the peculiar features
of the Jeffries-Johnson light was
the prayerful attitude of the col
ored ministry and nibiiy of their
following in iit.ploi ing Almighty
(iod that their colored brother
might wallop lus white antago
nist. Wheir prayers have been
answered and word comes from
Hutchinson, Kansas, that a great
revival meeting is likely to re
sult from an assembly of these
people whose religious ferver
has been whetted by news of
Johnson's victory. When we
take into consideration the fact
that the gospel plan only cm
braces love, justice, equity and
the attributes of the Christ, there
((lines into our remembrance
one of his sayings: "Depart ye
workers of iniquity, I never
knew you." However we think
a better rendering is this: De
part ye workers of iniquity, ye
never knew Me." We stated
that the prayers of these colored
people had been answered, but
do not charge us with even in
timating that God extended
special favor to them on this
occasion.

The Romantic Story of an Old Cali
fornia Miner.
"The finest gentlemnn I ever knew,"
said Mark Twain once, "was an old
California miner who could barely
write bis own name. He was a forty
niner, and he and Ms partner Had
struck it rich in the early days. The
old man had ueiiher chirk nor child,
and he bad worked hard all Ills lite,
and when be did get his money be
hardly knew what to do with it.
"lie did not try to lump into society
or to push his way with the 'big fel
lows' there. He continued to live with
the people whom he had associated
with all bis life, and many an act ot
kindness was done, many a wandering
son and father saved, many a sorrow
lug woman's burden lightened and her
borne brightened by an unknown do
nor, whose Identity with the old man
was only Known to a few.
"It was different with the partner.
He had a wite and two daughters with
social aspirations, and after a whole
lot of pushing and hauling and shov
ing they landed in society. The ex
pense was too much ot a drain on the
husband's purse, and he speculated,
with the inevitable outcome. He lost
his entire fortune and then shot him
self. Then it was that the true gen
tleness of the old ninn showed itself.
The widow and her daughters had no
one to turn to but him. and he did not
disappoint them. He saved their home
for them when everything else went
tinder the hammer, mid he maintained
them in all the regal style to which
they were accustomed, although he
still lived in his old lodgings, tie lived
long enough to see both of the girls
well married and the mother carefully
settled i life. Then he died In a
charity hospital In San Francisco. He
had spent every penny he owned on
the family ot his partner."
NO WONDER HE DIED.
The Way Charles II Was Dosed by
His Fourteen Doctors.
Charles II. of England lived less
than a week after fie was attacked by
his fatal Illness, and It is wonderful
that he lived so long. A monograph
on "The Last Days of Charles II."
gives some extraordinary details of
those last days:
"The royal patient had fourteen doc
tor In attendance. They bled him to
the extent of thirty-four ounces; they
shaved his hair and applied blistering
agents all over his head: they also ap
plied plasters to the soles of his feet,
and they dosed him with orange In

clared to little Clorinda that she dear

said so because she heard the distant

peated it urgtugly. Then, as the small
lady with the pet cat made no move
