The graft system of Boston, Mas sachusetts, and all other title and states, 1 humanly founded and spir itually sustained, by th hop of men (and women and children') high and low, worker and Idler, farmer an laborer, of getting a graft. In other words, th big graft art founded on the little graft. Th bl gambler live on th Utile gambler but w are all gambler and gratteri at heart Ox oat wealth cannot be earned by an Individual; It can be got under the system, but an individual cannot produoe It, The worker pro duo It, and, If on or a few indivi dual have got It, they can make the worker wha produce it produce also Interest, and rent on It Jor th few. That' how walth measure poverty, Increases It and exploit labor. And th solution 1 to Chang th system 0 that each man ha actually to work for . and produce all he get. This mean to cut off all th sources of unearned wealth. But this means cutting off all the gambler's chanoes, not only of great, but of a little wealth 1 "enough to 11 v on without working." And her you have the conclusion which hurt: This mean that all men (and - women) shall work, productively, always. . Th fundamental, most inspiring truth found In the muck of Boston and every other city, and tat or nation where I have worked, 1 that men (and women and children) do big hard Job better and mor will ingly than they do little, easy Job. The man "they" told m wa the worst politician In Boston, promised me that If I ever aaw the time when any act of his would really put over any real, fundamental reform there, h would help. v....... "Don't tell anyone I'm a reformer,' ho said, contemptuously, "I'm not I am what I am, and I'm going on be ing what I am. 1 hate their little reform a I hato their great big graft. But," he said, "If they ver set out to do the real right thing, ecme to me; you come; pas me the word, and,'' hi ys wer reddened and hi mouth tUhtened, "I'll give you the whole damned works." I hadn't inked him to be honest, you see. There was no Inspiration in that I had ttsked him to help make Boston the beautiful, happy city Bos ton might be, lie had soen the vln ton; he had glimpsed a big Idea Some vision of a hopeful future for mankind on earth Is as neceesary to comfort a people as an Individual, and In a" clly "Cor a smte or nation) such an Inspiration Is as indispen sable to carry the masses through the period of apparent sacrifice a It la to convert their leaders TJncoln eteffen in the May Metropolitan.

American Pearl Fisheries; Industry That is Little Known Of all th vaiuabl article of adornment perhaps th pearl I the most widely distinguished over the earth. It haa been prized for It beauty by prino and pauper, by the pampered favorite of modern poten tate and by th dusky beauties of prehistoric savage chief It ha been an article of great price for ages, and it is a practically uselesa as per fectly beautiful, and as outrageously expenlv today as it ever wa. Its possession ha never been a mark of wealth. The Indian rajahs for age collected th beauteous gem from th famed fisheries ot Ceylon, the Ptolemies of Egypt bad their diver divest th Red Sea ot It nacreous treasures, while th Macedonian Greek despoiled th Persian gulf. To get them fleets have been fitted out and continent exploited, for the fact that pearl were found in the New World by Columbus had much to do with Its subsequent" develop ment. The glitter of gold and the sheen of the pearl lured on th bold conqueror of Mexico,- and nerved the daring of Plzarro' adventurous band to th conquest ot Peru. It was in 1484, when on hi third voyage, that Columbus sailed Into the Gulf of Parla, enclosed between the northeastern coast of Venesula and th Island of Trinidad, where "the native came to th ship In counties numbers, many of them wearing piece of gold on their breast and some with bracelet of pearl on their anna" These, they told Columbus, had been procured along th coast In their own neighborhood, and that Is th first we hear of th celebrated "pearl coast", that portion of the Venezuelan water which, according to a news Item In th monthly bulle tin of the Pan-American union, haa recently been leased to one of it cltl sen by the Venesuelan government for a period of three years. Th con cession Is said to give th exclusive right to fish for pesrl off the Island of Margareta and In th seal along th northeastern coast of th repub lic. Th lessee l to pay th govern ment 4400 per month during the fish ing season for th privilege, and doubtless th enterprise will prove profitable, tor here wer one located the most celebrated fisheries ot American waters. Th principal . pearl oyster beds of th region ar located around the Island of Margarita (Spanish for pearl at Cabagua, El Tlrano, Gulf of Parla (called "El Golfo de las Paras" by Columbus), Porlamar, Maracapana and Macanao, These fisheries wer very rich when found by th Span lards, but during the 40 years fol lowing their discovery wer almost ruined by overfishing. During the past century the flatting ha been re vived from time to time, and In recent year has again become profitable The government exercises a rigid sup ervision over th Industry and 1 making every effort to conserve this source of revenue. During the fish ing season more than. 400 sailing ves sels and about 2,000 men are con stantly at work along th pearl coast and among the Islands. ; The animal product of th bed In th vicinity ot Margarita alone la estimated to have a value .of 4400,000. It 1 said that In 1874 King Philip of Spain obtained from Margarita a magni ficent pearl weighing 250 carats and variously estimated as being worth from 430,000 to $100,000. Th Vene zuelan pearl are of very good orient and color, and the fisheries ar es pecially noted for the numbers of beautiful boroqu (pearls) of Irregu lar or grotesque shapes found. - Perhaps the richest pearl fisheries In the America at present ar those of th Gulf ot California, centering around La Pas, and along the outer coast of Lower California In Mexico, and along the entire west coast of the gulf from I Pa to above the Islands of Loreto and Tlburton, on the east side. Pearls are also found along tho southern coast ot Mexico and tn Nicaragua, and the Gulf of Campeche on the eastern coast of Mexico. The principal fisheries of thi section are, however, among the Isle del Rey, or King's Islands, laying In th Gulf of Panama, about SO miles from the city of Panama These consist' of Rey island, Pecheca, Pedro Gonsale.
