Entorea at the Postoffice at Nevada City as > ‘segond-elass matter. TaLBPHONE No. 4. WEDNESDAY.. MARCH 9, 1898. re VAST BENEFITS TO LABOR. Convincing testimony as to the improved condition of organized labor is given by--Commissioner John T. McDonough of the New York State Bureau of Labor Statistics in his annual report. . According to this report, on March 31 last 827 labor organizations reported a total membership of 142,670: At the close of the next quarter, June 30, 975 anions reported a membership of 151,206, and on September 30 1,009 organigations. reported 167,454 members, of whom 5,702 were women. The increase in the number of organizations reporting for the third quarter was mainly due to more complete returns. Qn March 31 43,631 members of unions were reported as out of work at that time, or 366 per cent. Three months later, on June 30, 27,378 were returned as unemployed, or 18.1 per cent.; while on September 30, 23,230 were so reported, or 13.9 per cent. Reports as to the namber of days each member worked show that during the first quarter the average number of days of work per member was for men, 58; for women, 63. In the second quarter it was 69 for men and 57 for women, while for the third quarter it was 67 formen and 66 for women. From the increase of the number of days each male member of a trade’s union worked from 58 days in the first ; quarter to 69 in the second and 67 in the third quarters of the year 1897, as wellas from the marked decrease in the per centage of the unemployed— 33.6 per cent. on the 30th of June, and 13.9 per cent. on the 30th of September —the conclusion is plain that there has been an enormous increase in the gross aggregate of employment and wages during this year of Protection to industries and to labor. What istrue of New York is true ef every State in the Union. In some of the States—for example, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Mli_ -mois—the full statistics would doubt©" less show a still larger increase in the : porque orga late farnished Qu artz J ew elry, Petrified Wood Jewelry. The total sum for the wage-carning and wage-paying classes of the whole United States would, if obtainable, present a gain for the year amounting to many hundreds of millions of dollars. Gigantic sums are needed to measure the total benefits already wrought by the American policy of Protection. . AIRE Ra TRIS Latest reports from Russia indicate that its purchase of bullion for silver coinage has been greatly reduced and. that hereafter it will use silver only for subsidiary coinage. Thus the adoption of the gold standard by this great country is fairly entered upon. friends of silver that’ their favorite metal.was. the ‘currency of far more than balf the population of the world. But‘ since its abandoment by Japan’ with 44,000,000 population, and Russia With 126,000,000, the total population of the silver-using counties dwindles toa comparatively insignificant figure. ee Present McKinuey’s firm and patriotic attitude in the recent crises with reference to Ouban matters has been and ig cordially commended by men of all parties. The dignified but "vigorous stand taken by him in the Lee incident has already resulted in a com>: plete back-down by the Spanish govFrc ernment, and his coarse and that of his official family in regard to the Maine disaster is receiving a general approval, and his hands in this trying moment are being cordially upheld by men irrespective of past party relationIndian Antipathy to Fish. At a meeting in Baltimore of the American. Folklore society: Dr. Washfngton Matthews of Washington read a paper on ‘‘Icthyophobia,’’ which he described as an antipathy to fish. This aversion is especially strong in the Nayvajo,-Apache and other Indian tribes of the far southwest, who will not eat fish or have anything todo with articles made in the shape of fish. This ‘‘taboo’’ “. with the Navajos extends to all things . . . } connected with water. A probable reason why no more children of these tribes are sent east to be educated, Dr. Matthews thought, was a fear that they might be required to overcome this cherished ‘‘taboo’’ superstition, which is as firmly rooted as any religion. . A legend to account for this fish ‘‘taboo’’ was* given. There was a time when food was scarce, and the mountain Indians had a big powwow with the river Indians. The result was that the river Indians agreed to kill no deer, but live entirely on “fish, and: the mountain Indians . agreed, to .eat no fish, but live entirely upon deer. This made‘ food plenty for both. ’ In the discussion of the paper it was eat fish because, savage tribes in desert its scarcity, and this reverence extends to animal life in water. . Séyveral members thought perhaps this idea conveyed the true reason for the fish ‘‘taboo.’’ Baltimore Sun. ; Immigrants and New York. Ernest Ingersoll writes for St. Nicholas a paper on the Greater. New York entitled ‘‘Reasoning Out a Metropolis.’’ Mr. Ingersoll says: The merchants of New. York sent to the continent of Europe more ships than the merchants of other cities, who traded mainly with Great Britain, so that this city was better known throughout Europe, and her vessels were the handiest for emigrants from France, Germany and Holjand. Agents of the New York merchants and-of the government, who were seeking and encouraging immigration, could show that this port was the most advantageots landing place for a man who was going on west, and the sea captains explained that it was the safest and quickest. port to make because the course lay south of the stormy; foggy region north of Cape Cod, and the city was much closer to the open sea than either Philadelphia or Baltimore. At any’rate immigration increased in favor of New York as time went on, and. the. stream. of incoming people swelled until in the decade from 1884.t0 1894 if amounted to about 500,600 immigrants a year, 590,666 arriving in 1890 alone, not counting those from Canada and Mexico. He Tricked the Topers. In the last century nearly every gen tleman was put to bed . He had either to drink ‘as others drank or ac aduel. Sir Aubrey de Vere, when he wag 18 years of age, after a day’s hunt avoided intoxication at dinner by watching until the others were tipsy and after that pouring each new glass of wine down his neckcloth, then worn so large that the chin was buried in it: When the last of the topers lay under the table, be rushed to his bedroom, took a bath, dressed anew and joined the ladies at their 12 o’clock tea.
