A new view of the vexed labor
question is suggested by the follow
my paragragravh from the London
Speetdotor:
One OF the deepest, though least
noticed, divisions among working
men, the chasm between the skilled
and the unskillel laborers, came out
oddly al an opeu.air meeting CT the
hricklaycrs and others held on Satur-
day in Hyde Park. Mr.. Philips, q
painter, had declared that tho men
must have the GA an hour, because
whatever political economy might
say, less than that did not suffice
Tor their natural wants. Whereup-
on Mr., .!alloran, holman, prosuma,
bly, an l,lshman, certainly n humor-
isl, wanted to know what the labor
ers would do with their sd. an hour,
They had the same stomachs as the
mechanics, the same wives, the same
necessity tor clothes, the only differ
ence between .hem being the cost OF
tools. Clearly, if man is to be
paid according to his wants instead
OF according to his work, Halloran is
entitled to as much as Philips. In,
deed, he is entitled to more, for if
any socialist idea is just, 1t is that
work should be paid tor in proper
ton to its disagreeableness. IT, Gu.
rate is entitled to 9l00 year, q
nightsoil man ought on the socialist
basis TO have at least $500.

Heef-R0Ot Sugar.

Beet-root sugar is rapidly becom
ing an article of great commercial
importance. It's production in the
United States is yet in It's infancy,
and many farmers have failed in at
tempting TO produce it. The pro.
duction OF beet-root sugar in Europe
for 1S72-133 is estimated at l,0S5, 600
tons, nearly one-thlrd of which is
credited to France. The weather has
been favorable for the development
of the roots and the formation OF tie
saccharine matter, and refners
abroad entertain great hopes in view
of the fact that there has been a
great reduction in stocks. Three cs
adjustments in the United States
one in Illinois, one in Iowa, and one
IN California-are manufacturing a
good quality OF sugar with sufficient
success to render future efforts prom
ising. The first yield OF beet sugar
was placed in the Chicago market
without brand, and was pronounced
by experts to be edua! to A New
York sugar, readily bringing the
price OF that article. Great conf
dence is expressed upon the Pacific
coast N the final success of the beet
sugar industry in that region.

The si,pcniE~ Corn.

How sweet to walk through the wheatlands
When the teeming fatness Of Heaven drops
down,
The waving crop with bursting cars
4 sea Of gold on the earth appears;
No longer robei in Iress of grean.
With tawny faces the field are scent
A sight more welcome and joyous far
Than a hundred bloodwon victories are.
Beautiful custom was that of old,
When the Hebrew brought with joy un.
told,
The carly ears of the ripening corn
And laid them down by the affairs horn;
when the priesthood waved them before
the Lord,
While the Giver of harvests all hearts
adored.
What gifts more suited could man impart
To express the flow of his greatful heart
4 crowd wait. meath the cottage caves
To cut the corn and bind the shsaves,
At length is heard the expected sound
Put in the sickle, the corn is Drowned;
And the reapers so forth with as bllthe a
soul
As those who joined the Olympian goal;
And sorrowless hearts and voices come
To swell the hearts of the harvest home.
And there is q reaper on earth well known
Whose deeds are traced on the burial stone;
He carries sickle moro deadly AMI keen
Than ever in the harvest field was seen:
He cuts down the earliest ears in spring.
As we'll as the ripest that tines can bring,
The tares he gathers TO flames are drives.
The wheat is laid in the garner Of Heaven

The Gregorian calender, establish.

Rome and some other parts of Italy,
and also in Spain and Portugal, DC
tober Is, 1882; in Holland and Fan-
ders, December Is, and in France,
December 30 of the same year,
though in the Low Countries it was
not fully introduced till 100. In
Germany the Catholics adopted it in
1884, while the Protestants retain
ing the old or Julian calendar,it was
not till November Is, 1890, that the
latter was universally. given up with
in the Empire. In most of Switzer-
land the New Style was adopted in
1888 or 1854, though some OF the
Protestant cantons did not adopt it
till 17O1. In Hungary it was INTRO.

The Absurd Movement.

The following, which we have re-
ceiyed from correspondent, we pre-.
sent as very neat specimen OF the
,'ed9ct,o I'D aJsMdaDa; some OF our
ireeleylte friends may read it with
profit:
There are two occasions when
the party in power in a country is in
danger. First, when it manages at.
fans SO badly that the opposition
party grows strong by reason of its
failures; and, secondly, when 1t man.
ages affairs SO well that 1t brushes out
the opposition party. and, being
thenceturth tho only party in the
land, is exposed to bolts within it's
own ranks. 1t is needless to say
which OF these is the cause of the
present danger to the Republican
party.
"lhe boilers in this case insist
that the Republican party has done
its work 50 well that it ought to be
allowed to die--as if it were when a
party has done well, and not done
badly that it ought to be allowed to
die If it had failed of its work, or
it it were thought incapable of doing
it, that would be ground for let.
ting it die. But to insist on killing
the Republican party for doing well
and recalling to lille the Democratic
party, which had practically died
from sheer crime and faithlessnes, is
strange procedure.
"The Liberal Republicans say that
they, by Withdrawing from that par.
ty which has done well, and uniting
with that which has done badly, will
form new party that will do better.
As il those who are dissatisfied with
a good party, and those who consti-
tute bad party, were together the
right elements tor a good party!
