WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY APRIL 5, 1884 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. THIRTY DOLLARS A MONTH. Abbot Kinney of San Gabriel writes to the Rural Press under the caption "Is Chinese Labor Cheap?" and answers his own question in the negative. But though opposed to Chinese labor, and the abatement of the restriction act, he is emphatically in favor of the Chinese standard of wages, and we fancy his complacent chukkle as he wrote that "farm wages in Los Angeles county average five dollars a month less for white labor than they did in 1880." Again he says: In 1880, when things were only just emerging from the slough of despond in this country, a good ranch hand cost $30 a month and board. Today one of my neighbors is employing Englishmen, imported from England direct, with their families, at $30 a month, and they board themselves—a difference in favor of today in prices of from twelve to fifteen dollars a month. We judge from the general tone of the letter that Mr. Kinney is well pleased with these facts, and that because of this great reduction in the price of labor the county is on the high road to prosperity. He is anti-Chinese as long as white men will do better work for the Chinese standard of wages. In the selfish satisfaction born of a competence, Mr. Kinney cannot see in the fact of men with families getting only $30 per month aught but profit to the employer and to the industry on which the cheap labor is employed. He has no word of compassion for the Englishmen and their families who are compelled to work for "$30 a month and board themselves." If the families of these unfortunate laborers are as large as those of the average Englishman, the pittance of $30 per month will barely buy the "board" which Beecher infamously recommended to workingmen—bread and water. But it is a fact that good workingmen with families commemorate only $30 per month in Pittsburgh, April 2.—A terrific windstorm, accompanied with thunder, lightning and hail, passed over the city at 19 o'clock this morning, doing considerable damage to property and injuring a number of persons. Oliver & Roberts' new wine mill, a large sheet iron structure on Ninth street, had the south side blown down, and two workmen, William Lacy and James Donohue, were injured. Lacy will probably die. A frame house on Twenty-eighth street was also demolished. A carpenter named Robinson, who was erecting the scaffold on which George Jones will be executed to morrow, was struck by a beam and quite seriously hurt. A number of other persons were injured by falling chimneys and signs. Fort Wayne, Ind., April 2.—A destructive cyclone passed through Delaware and Blackford counties, Indiana, five miles south of Muncie last night. It passed in a north easterly direction, causing great loss of life and property. Three men and two women were killed at Oakville. Two of the women were picked up by the wind, carried fully half a mile and deposited in the woods. It is believed the loss of life in the counties remote from telegraph facilities has been considerable. Muncie, Ind., April 2.—The following were killed: Mrs. Anna Dearmond, a widow, aged 50; Susan Hills, aged 15 (the latter, when discovered, was in an almost nude condition, her clothing having been literally blown from her person); the babe of C. C. Johnson was found in the field one hundred and fifty yards from where the house stood, with her head crushed, and the baby of Chas. Brown badly injured. Those badly injured are: Turner Johnson's 12-year old son; C. C. Johnson was blown twenty rods, had his skull crushed and will probably die; Nancy Myers, 60 years old, had her arm broken; Lemmi Myers, 13 years old, had her arm broken; J. Huffman and wife are bally bruised in the head and otherwise injured. Those badly injured are: Turner Johnson's 12-year old son; C. C. Johnson was blown twenty rods, had his skull crushed and will probably die; Nancy Myers, 60 years old, had her arm broken; Lemmi Myers, PACIFIC COAST A woman and her 14-year-old been sent to jail in San goods from a store. Edward Kemp, from C.W.A drink of concentrated Walla Walla, thinking it is not expected to live. Mrs. E. W. Bartlett of lowed three pins last July no trouble until about this she was attacked with sea physician is endeavoring with fruit acids. A 17-year old daughter Looking glass valley, Org instantly killed. A young with a loaded revolver dentally discharged, the temple and crushing. A Chinawoman was disks of Downieville, that had been abandoned and countrymen. She was had actually gnawed them. There was a colt born week whose head resembled hog with jaws and ears, bunch of regular hog briskels clean and clear as the mouth stands open per jaw is horribly deforeal. The wife of M. P. F. at Tucson, suicided by through the left breast rangement, brought on by vous prostration. She husband, expressive of tition, but said she felt life could bear, owing to her. The worshippers at the went last Sunday night but found that the bats bore of the house, and were sieve that the service was poned. On Tuesday they anguored a bat hunt, and window-casings found them. Joe Hurtado, under sewer murder, whose case was against him by the U.S.-died in the County Jail that has been for many months slow consumption, and mere skeleton. Information has been head quarters of the army States Consul-General cerning the Araches in that little Charlie McCoy his captors. From talks squaws at Chihuahua, re- with families getting only $30 per month aught but profit to the employer and to the industry on which the cheap labor is employed. He has no word of compassion for the Englishmen and their families who are compelled to work for "$30 a month and board themselves." If the families of these unfortunate laborers are as large as those of the average Englishman, the pattition of $30 per month will barely buy the "board" which Beecher infamously recommended to workingmen—bread and water. But it is a fact that good workingmen with families command only $30 per month in Los Angeles county? Is not Mr. Kinney's neighbor imposing upon the ignorance of his English immigrants regarding the value of their services? We advise them to look around and see whether they cannot find a more liberal employer. A great deal of youthful depravity is coming to the surface of late. There has been reported during the past few weeks a number of trials for murder and attempted murder wherein the persons accused were very young men. Berner, the lad about whom the Cincinnati riot occurred, was but 18 years of age; Finlayson, convicted in Oregon of murdering his grandmother, was even younger; and at Worthington, Minn., William Riley, aged 16, has pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree in having killed his father. The boy's sister, aged 13 years, is now on trial for being accessory after the fact. In Los Angeles on Tuesday, Donald H. Smith was tried for threatening the life of his father, Thomas H. Smith. These sample crimes show that the rising generation is no better than it ought to be. Representative McCord has prepared a joint resolution, to be introduced in Congress as soon as possible, providing for the appointment by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, of a commission to consist of seventy-six persons, two from each State of the different parties, for the purpose of considering and proposing to the several States the propriety of calling a convention of at least two-thirds of the States to propose amendments to the Constitution. Among the subjects to which these proposed amendments relate are the Presidential succession, election of President and Vice-President, the exercise of the veto power, woman suffrage, and a number of other subjects. The people of San Francisco could probably easily disprove a charge of illiberality, but the trouble is that their open-handness don't run in the right grooves. During the past month they have expended—to see the sloggers, $13,675; to hear Patti, $175,000; to listen to Emma Abbot, $56,750; to gaze at a wrestling swindle, $15,000; and the other regular places of amusement $50,000. But not a nickel has been subscribed to the World's Fair, and that project bids fair to PITTSBURG. April 2. — By the cyclone which passed over the Monongahela valley this morning, property was damaged to the extent of thousands of dollars, and twenty-one persons were injured, four probably fatally. The sun was shining brightly at half-past nine o'clock, but a few minutes later the sky became overcast and hail commenced falling. There were vivid flashes of lightning and loud peals of thunder. A terrific gale blowed, which leveled fences, wrenched signs from their fastenings, and demolished houses. On Twenty-eighth street a frame house was completely demolished, and on Wylie street the roof of a house was blown off and a brick partition overthrown, burying Mrs. Roberts, Fannie S. Kaulkin and a baby, and injuring them so severely that it is doubtful if they will recover. Oliver & Roberts' wire mill was completely wrecked. The building was 200 feet square and almost entirely of iron. It had not yet been placed under a roof. About a hundred men were engaged inside putting in an engine when the storm rent the building in twain. The heavy iron fell with a crash and the men scattered pill mell seeking places of safety. All but six escaped and only one of these, William Lacy, was fatally hurt. The storm continued its course along the south side of the river sweeping small houses and fences from its path. A frame house, owned by Evan Jones, was blown down, and six with families getting only $30 per month in Los Angeles county? Is not Mr. Kinney's neighbor imposing upon the ignorance of his English immigrants regarding the value of their services?

But not a nickel has been subscribed to the World's Fair, and that project bids fair to all through. Mr. Watterson is allowing his enthusiasm to carry him into the loftier gymnastics of rhetoric. He elevates the prosaic tariff question into the poetic realm. Thus he cries aloud to the country to do battle against "the painted harlot, protection, and rescue from her clutches the star-eyed goddess of reform." We would give thirty-seven cents if we could write so prettily upon such a prosaic subject. Friday of last week was a veritable hangman's day. Billy McDowell was hanged in San Bernardino; James Howard, O. W. Sample, Dan Dowd, William Delaney and Dan Kelly—the Bisbee bunch of fives—were hanged at Tombstone; Francisco Perez fell with "a dull, sickening thud" at Placerville. Let the good work go on. The trade dollar fraud has received its quietus. Congress, by a vote of 198 to 46, has passed a bill suspending their coinage, and directing the recoinage of those now current into standard dollars. The law-makers have taken a long time to reach the conclusion that one hundred cents goes into ninety-six cents no times. It hurts our pride to confess it, but the fact may as well be admitted that when it comes to the production of cyclones, California is no great shakes. Every State in the Union can discount it in that respect. The Cincinnati mob which undertook to suppress the wickedness of that city worked in a mysterious way that wonder to perform. That city had a better reputation before the alleged reformation. The Wallace Resolutions. SACRAMENTO, April 2.—The prominent features of three Wallace resolutions introduced into and voted on in the Assembly last night are: First—The State Board of Equalization shall assess as a unit the entire railway property in the State, and shall afterwards transmit to each County Assessor details of such railway property in each county for county taxation. Second—Value of railroad property for purposes of assessment shall be determined by capitalizing of the net earnings at 8 per cent. Third—In addition to all other taxes imposed by law, all railroad companies shall pay an income tax of 3 per cent on their gross receipts, with a penalty of 5 per cent on delinquency and 2 per cent per month interest on delinquent amounts, together with an attorney fee of 10 per cent on amounts recovered. The millenium is almost reached. Tyler, one of the attorneys in the Sharon-Hill case, was fined $25 for saying Damn (with a big D) in open court. The affliction of having again to see the name of Garfield's murderer in print in every paper will soon have to be endured by readers. Wm. Jones, who attempted to shoot him in the prison van during the trial, is to be tried for the crime on the 28th instant. Still another Supreme Court clerk has been found short in his accounts. Grant I. Taggart is the individual and $3,000 is the sum. They will be investigating the Judges next. President Arthur is besieged in Washington parties during Lent, but the most part are made up not received dinner invites.

Edward Kemp, from Centreville, Or., took a drink of concentrated lye Thursday at Walla Walla, thinking it was whisky. He is not expected to live. Mrs. E. W. Bartlett of Nevada City swallowed three pins last July. She experienced no trouble until about three weeks ago, when she was attacked with severe vomiting fits. A physician is endeavoring to dissolve them with fruit acids. A 17-year old daughter of J. J. McCoy, of Looking glass valley, Oregon, was shot and instantly killed. A younger sister was playing with a loaded revolver which was accidentally discharged, the ball taking effect in the temple and crushing through the brain. A Chinawoman was discovered in the outskirts of Downieville, the other day, who had been abandoned and left to die by her countrymen. She was nearly starved, and had actually gnawed the flesh from her fingers. There was a colt born at Livermore last week whose head resembles that of a large hog with jaws and ears, and its tail has a bunch of regular hog bristles, and the skin is clean and clear as that of a scalded hog. The mouth stands open, and the front or upper jaw is horribly deformed. The wife of M. P. Freeman, postmaster at Tucson, suicided by shooting herself through the left breast. Cause, mental derangement, brought on by sickness and nervous prostration. She left a letter to her husband, expressive of her love and affection, but said she felt life was more than she could bear, owing to her sickness. The worshippers at the Fairfield Church went last Sunday night as usual to service, but found that the bats had taken possession of the house, and were so thick and aggressive that the service was necessarily postponed. On Tuesday the church deacons inaugurated a bat hunt, and behind one of the window-casings found and killed 241 of them. Joe Hurtado, under sentence of death for murder, whose case was recently decided against him by the U.S. Supreme Court, died in the County Jail at Sacramento. Hurtado has been for many months suffering from slow consumption, and had dwindled to a mere skeleton. Information has been received at the headquarters of the army from the United States Consul-General at Matamoros, concerning the Araches in Northern Mexico, that little Charlie McComas was killed by his captors. From talks with the Apache squaws at Chihuahua, recently captured by the Mexican there can be but little doubt The Cincinnati Riot. A serious and costly riot began at Cincinnati on last Saturday. William Berner, on trial for murder, was found guilty of man-alaughter only, and was sentenced to imprisonment for twenty years. There must have been something peculiarly atrocious about his crime, for when the jury rendered the verdict they were hooted at and pelted by an exasperated mob. The jail in which Berner was confined was attacked in the evening by a mob anxious to hang him and other murderers confined therein, and a bloody fight resulted. Over 10,000 people were engaged in the attack, and the ring-leader was a colored man. The civil officials were reinforced by military, but despite all efforts an immense amount of property was destroyed. The courthouse and jail was burned, together with valuable records. A million dollars will not replace the property destroyed. The loss of life is variously estimated at from fifty to seventy-five. The following handbill was given wide circulation throughout the city: Public safety demands immediate action to organize vigilance committees in every ward, to heal the sores by purifying the body, and to serve notices to criminals, criminal lawyers, gamblers and prostitutes to leave Hamilton county within three days and remain away forever or suffer the penalty. As long as the present clique of criminal lawyers that infest the city are permitted to remain and corrupt juries, outrage justice and shield criminals, just that long will our citizens be murdered, our property destroyed and protection by the law be denied. Make one clean sweep while we are at it. A committee of 300 in each ward, composed of the best citizens, can, by earnest work, cleanse the moral atmosphere in three days. Organize at once and serve notice to all disreputable characters in the ward to leave and never return. The reputation of this city demands a change or wickedness will reign supreme. Columbus, O., April 2—Governor Hoolly, in a message to the general Assembly recommended that a provision be made by law for the official arrest and conviction of the murderer of Captain Desmond, killed in the Cincinnati roots while in the service of the State. He also recommends the propriety of making provision for the release of his aged mother from the pecuniary loss entailed by the death of her son, he being her only support. A Comerston, Ohio telegram says: A peculiar malady termed the "grub," is just now carrying off many sheep in this section and has havec is being made among some of our wool growers' flocks. The disease is caused by a worm called the "grub," and is a very distressing one. The egg of the worm is deposited in the nestril of the sheep in July or August by a kind of fly, and the "grub" hatches out in March and begins barrowing toward the brain, which, when penetrated, kills the animal at once. There is no known remedy for it. The worm is about the size of a common "grub" worm and has a gimlet appearance. Mr. Richard King, a prominent farmer, has already lost thirty head of his finest sheep. Other farmers have lost nearly their entire flocks. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Estray.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. In a fit of rage Adelbert Clark of Elba, N.Y., beat his wife cruelly. The neighbor, who were attracted by the noise took Clark into the woods, thrashed him, tarred and feathered him and sent him home. Charles L. Kuse, editor of the Gringo and Greaser, a paper published at Manzana, N.M., was shot and killed while sitting in his office at that place. The assassin, who is unknown, fired through a window. A contractor on the new court house at Hailey, Wood River, has barricaded himself within the building, and is holding possession under shotgun law. He refuses to abandon the premises until paid for his work. President Arthur is being somewhat criticized in Washington for giving dinner parties during Lent, but the criticisms for the most part are made by those who have not received dinner invitations. Brewers in Milwaukee have united in a movement to boycott the farmers of Iowa on account of the prohibition sentiment in that State. Hereafter no barley raised in Iowa will be bought or used by any brewer.

A bill was introduced in the Senate looking to make good the losses sustained by the citizens of Cincinnati. While Main street and North and South Court streets are open to public travel, the barricades around the jail and on Sycamore street are still in position. These cause comparatively little interruption to business and they make it impossible for the crowd to press closely on the jail. At the burial yesterday of Adolph Meinking, the one killed Saturday night, his father fainted at the grave and was carried home in an unconscious condition and died before morning. Prize Fight in the Presence of School Children. WILKESBARRE (Pa.), March 31.—A terrible prize fight took place near here Thursday. For a long time a bitter feud has existed between Billy Jones and William Davis. On the day named the men, with their friends and several hundred spectators, including a schoolmistress and twenty children, assembled, when both men stripped to the waist, and as the call of time were up and at it. Eight rounds were fought. Both men fought like tigers. Davis's face was pounded into a shapeless mass, and he left the ring almost totally blind. The large square in which they fought was literally covered with blood. The flesh on Jones' body was as raw looking as a beetleskin. The battle lasted one hour and thirty-five minutes, at the end of which time the men lay alongside of each other, neither having sufficient strength to rise from the ground. Both had to be carried to their homes. The tiger was declared a draw, and another will take place as soon as the men recover sufficiently to again meet. Near the close of the battle Jones broke his arm, and, seeing that he could not use it, attempted to scratch his opponent's eyes out with his other hand. The Real Reason. WASHINGTON, April 2.—In diplomatic circles a new explanation has been given of the general causes which led to Mr. Sargent's unpleasant mission to Berlin. Heretofore his want of success has been attributed to matters political, but it is now asserted that a lack of special tact and want of regard for the forms of etiquette prevailing at the German Court was the prime cause of the unrestful work, cleanse the moral atmosphere in three days.

WASHINGTON, April 2.—In diplomatic circles a new explanation has been given of the general causes which led to Mr. Sargent's unpleasant mission to Berlin. Heretofore his want of success has been attributed to matters political, but it is now asserted that a lack of special tact and want of regard for the forms of etiquette prevailing at the German Court was the prime cause of the unpleasantness. The accomplished wife of the Minister has for many years been one of the leaders of the woman's suffrage movement, and her husband, in the Senate and annual conventions, has advocated the subject of the ballot for women. Mr. and Mrs. Sargent also entertained many different ideas on social questions, which, while they were in Washington, were discussed at their house. The etiquette of the German Court is as rigid as any in Europe, possibly excepting that of Sweden, and not only are outward forms and observances of royalty strictly maintained, but conversation flows within well defined channels of thought and expression, to transgress which would be thought an unpardonable offense. It is said that topics of conversation at the social parties given by the American Minister were inexpressibly repulsive to the officers of the German Government who attended them. Officers of the German Court were not willing to listen to conversation advocating suffrage for men, much less for women, and they refused to visit his family. Liberal memoirs of the Reichstag, among them Herr Lasker, found the house of the American Minister an exceedingly agreeable resort, and among his warmest friends were numbered the principal opponents of the Government. The Chancellor's hatred of Liberals and his bitter opposition to all socialistic measures led him in time to regard the American Minister with becoming aspersion. This feeling, it is said, might have been outwardly repressed until the end of the present Administration, when Sargent would have been recalled, had it not been for the Lasker episode, which brought matters to a crisis. Whether this explanation of the trouble is a true one or not, enough is known to justify the Administration in accepting Sargent's resignation. A Mormon on trial at Salt Lake City for polygamy admitted that he had married several women for eternity but only one for time. APPORTIONMENT.

This invention supplies a long felt want for a cheap portable bed, that can be put away in a small space when not in use, and yet make a roomy, comfortable bed when wanted. Of the many cots that are in the market there is not one, cheap or expensive, on which a comfortable night's rest can be had. They are all narrow, short, without spring, and in fact no bed at all. While The Bedette folds into as small space, and is as light as anything can be made for durability. When set up it furnishes a bed wide and long enough for the largest man, and is as comfortable to lie upon as the most expensive bed. It is so constructed that the patent sides, regulated by the patent adjustable tension cords, form the most perfect spring bed. The canvas covering is not tacked to the frame, as on all cots, but is made adjustable, so that it can be taken off and put on again by any one in a few minutes, or easily tightened, should it become loose, at any time, from stretching. It is a perfect spring bed, soft and easy, without springs or mattress. For warm weather it is a complete bed, without the addition of anything; for cold weather it is only necessary to add sufficient clothing. The "Bedette" is a Household Necessity, and no family after once using would be without it. It is simple in its construction and not liable to get out of repair. It makes a pretty lounge, a perfect bed, and the price is within the reach of all.
