Webster Township school commits
sinncr.

Editors of the Register:
A mistake was made by our Webster
township friends in the nomination of
Capt Harrison for School Commits
sioner. Not as the Captain, as a
School Commissioner, would not be
the right man in th9right place but
simply because he already holds a posi-
ton as a member OF the Board OF Edu-
cation. and his term of Office will not
expire until January, 1872. George
Carnahan, Esq, is the gentleman whose
term expires on the first ofJanuary en-
suing. and since he has already proved
himself an efficient school officer, it is
presumed that the citizens of Webster
will have no objection to the substitu-
ton of his name for that Of Capt. Har-
rison on the ticket. . CITIZEN.

In the spring of 1887, while residing in
Standish, and living in the same touse with
the Rev. A. ID. Wheeler, now OF Topsham,
who then kept boarding school for boys, the
following accident occurred: One morning
eaiIy, Wnile several OF the boys were in the
school-room at play, one OF them, named EN-
erson, who now is a resident OF this city,
jumping down from seat, caught hold of the
head OF another lad, by the name of Perkins,
and so wrenched his neck as to produce a lux
alton between the first and second vertabre
of the neck on tie left side, the ear upon the
right side becoming fixed upon the right
shoulder, and the patient falling instantly up
on the floor, and quiverng, without respira-
tion or pulse. Mr.. Wheeler being instantly
called, quickly summoned me to the spot. /
placed the patient upon lounge, and with
the aid of Mr.. W, who kept the shoulders of
the patient fixed, at once reduced the luxa-
tion, the patient instantly gasping for breath;
the action of the heart was restored, and the
patient in less than one minute restored to
consciousness.
To reduce the luxation / simply, taking
hold Of the patients head, made extension so
as to free the processes of the vertabrae, and
then rotating the neck to the left side, it al
once came into place, with clicking noise as
is usual in such cases.
There was considerable swelling around
the neck and Inflammation which was able
to overcome, and the patient was restored to
usual health in the course of two or three
weeks. JAMES M. BUzzELL.

York CoUNTY.-We are gratified to learn
that the "little unpleasantness" among our
Republican friends in York county, has given
way to better state of feeling, and that the
ranks are being rapidly closed up, preparatory
to the battle with the common enemy. The
sober second thought of many who were fore
most in asserting the claims of York county,
induces cheerful and hearty acquisition in
the result of the convention, and they are de-
monstrating their devotion to principle and
their real interest in the success of the party,
by acting the part of peace makers in en-
deavoring to allay all excitements which tends
to introduce discord and confusion into the
ranks. 1t is interesting to note the effect of
this state of things upon the opposition. They
begin to realize that the hopes of few days
since were far too magnificent ever TO be real

Wages Past and Present

There is no better medicine for discomfort
with the presentthan a retrospective view of
worse evils in the past. Laborers at the pres
ent day will be less disposed TO complain with
their lot if they reflect how much better off
they are than their ancestors were. 1t is q re-
cOgniZed law Of economic science that in
every advancing country, wealth or capita
which creates the demand for labor increases
faster than population which furnishes the
supply. Hence the consequence that the
wages of the laborer measured by the necessa-
saries and comforts of lite are constantly ad-
vancing unless some adverse influence coun-
teract the effect of the increased demand
Such causes being rarely permanent wages in
the long run exhibit an upward tendency.
DR.. Edward Jarvis of New York who has
investigated tie subject in its relations to
health gives some interesting facts. In Eng
land in the last of the sixteenth century good
mechanic could earn a bushel of wheat by
working nine days and one-eighth. In the
period from 1000 to 1925 he earned a bushel
in live days and one third, and from 1915 to
1921 in one day and an eighth. Now i'm the
United States such laborer can earn bush
ell of wheat in half day.. In 1917 when wheat
was twenty certs bushel farm laborer was
ordered by Parliament to have three cents a
day and master carpenter six cents. In
1446 the wages of head farmer were S. SO
year, and those of q woman servant S2.5
with board. Now common laborers in Eng
land get from forty cents to dollar a day
In some countries of Europe the laborine
classes are but little better off than formerly in
England. In Prussia the wages of a farm labor
er by the year are $40 10 SIS with board; in
Austria S25 on an avarage. In Denmark the
laborer receives from LIS to 1925 week,
works thirteen hours and supports himself.
In Belgium the day laborer earns about 20
cents day, and pays days work for the
weekly rental of his cottage. A woman general
ly gets halfOr two-thirds as much as man. In
this land Of plenty we have little idea of the
destitution and wretchedness which prevails in
the old world. Bad as is the condition of the
European laborer, that of the working classes in
the East is still worse. With them life means
struggle for subsistence without much hope
OF getting ahead in the world.
In view of these facts what could be more
selfish and heartless than to drive away those
who wish to come and are willing to obey the
laws. For us national inhosptality would be
national crime. The price of labor depends
upon natural laws which cannot be more than
temporarily disturbed. Few dispute that i'm
migration increases our national wealth and
unless it. increases our population in a still
greater proportion it cannot permanently re-
duce wages as reckoned iYcommodites which
the laborer consumes. There never was a
time when the prospect for the laborer was
more encouraging.
