FAULT FINDERS.

One OF the peculiarities of New Orleans
journalism is the number of "outsiders" wht
make it their special business to "sit upon
and to severely criticise the course of the va
rious newspapers published in New Orleans
although in the majority Of cases most Of
these self-constituted judges know little OF
nothing of the business, and would be Just as
much at sea if put in charge of daily or even
weekly Journal as they would be if required
to give sailing directions on board of vessel
bound for Hong Kong or Calcutta.
For instance, A is commission merchant,
or broker in good standing, and doubtless
knows all about his particular branch of bus
iness He thinks his morning paper should
devote column after column to the statistics
of trade, the fluctuations of State, municipal,
or "fancy" stocks and bonds, and eschew
politics altogether. AS contribution toward
the support of the obnoxious journal is prob
ably limited to his yearly subscription, which,
as every member of the profession well
knows, scarcely pays for the blank paper upon
which the said journal is printed. Yet he
expects that in making up its contents his own
particular wishes and preferences should be
extensively, if not exclusively consulted.
B, on the other hand, is gentleman of
elegant Tor inelegant) leisure, who devotes
his valuable time and energies to public
affairs. He is to be heard whenever local
politics are mooted, and looms up imposing
ly at all ward meetings and parish or State
nominating conventions. He has his likes
and dislikes within "the party" however,
and expects the journal honored with his
the former, and to denounce the latter with
out stint or mercy. HIS contribution to the
hapless newspaper, whose course he would
fain direct, generally takes the shape of
stirring appeal to the voters of his ward to
come and "rally the said appeal being
generally bestowed upon his chosen organ, |
on the Micawber principle, and settled for on |

hostility, nevertheless, is quite as much TO be
dreaded as his friendship, as he is the center |
him, and never fails to denounce as traitors
all who happen to differ with him as to the
immense Importance OF securing Shocks as
deputy street-sweeper or Simkins as assistant
supervisor of nuisance wharves.
1t is C's misfortune to be great property
holder, and as a necessary sequence heavily
faxed citizen. He does not read the papers
nuch-in fact, he feels that they do not per-
orm their duty according to his idea, and
'eing aggrieved thereat, seldom if ever wastes
nickel in that direction; but should any one

The FIRST RICE OF THE SEASON. The
steamer Mary Ida, which arrived at her wharf
last evening, brought to the city Is sacks of
rice from the Good Hope plantation, in the
parish of st. Charles, consigned to the Per-
severance Rice Mill. This is the first rice of
the season, and has reached the city on the
same day as the first arrived last season. The
owner of the plantation, Mr.. W. H. Harris, is
the largest rice planter in the State, having
this year 1900 acres under cultivation; and to
him belongs the prize for having every year,
for long series, sent to market the first rice
OF the season. This consignment is notable
for its excellent quality, and is of much bet
ter average than that of last year. Mr.. Harris
has paid great attention to the cultivation of
rice, and has succeeded in shipping the best
quality in advance of any other planter in the
State.

THE CAUSE OF STRIKES.

Mr.. John Bright, answering a note from
Glasgow workingman upon some subject
connected with trades unions, says: "a
book, and not a small one, might be made
up of the strange doings of the trades unions
Monopoly is hard to teach, and l fear the
workingmen will only learn through suffering
that they may do mischief which cannot after.
ward be repaired"
When laborers and mechanics, whethe,
they are members of guilds or trades unions
or not, by concerted agreement refuse to work
for the wages offered, it is generally for what
they, or the great majority of them, believe to
be good and sufficient cause. They want for
their toll what they believe that they earn, and
what their work is actually worth to their
employers.
We do not hear of concerted action among
workingmen to take from the owner his mill,
his looms, his gearing or his stock. They Or
ganize for no evil purpose of robbery, for no
compulsory infection of loss upon the capt.
talist whose wealth is invested in mines or
factories. They who have labor for sale,
simply refuse to sell it for less than what it is
worth. Whether one man refuses for himself
or joins with five hundred others in such re-
fusal, the right and principle are the
same
Strikes for just wages often show that the
employer is doing business at loss, and
therefore is trying to shift that loss from him
self to his laborers. This loss they feel every
hour in the day. They work on perhaps for
months unwillingly and in ill-humor. They
carry their trouble with them to their homes,
where their wives and children see it on their
wrinkled brows and in their downcast and
moody aspect
1t is felt at their tables, which are more and
more scantily supplied from day to day. The
employer may be losing also, but his losses |
cause him no actual physical suffering. He |
may be annoyed that his capital earns but |
small income, or none at all; yet there is no |
privation in his household. When, at length, |
the laborers have borne their hardships as long
as possible, they join in refusing to sell their
labor for less than what it is worth.
If labor were to cost nothing it would be
employed in great many foolish enterprises
BY those who had the power to compel it. The
cheaper labor is the more liable it is to be ex-
plotted in undertakings that are not remu-
lerative
When half starving on low wages, the men
II toll do not pause to philosophize on the
ituation or to investigate the bearing of the
aw of supply and demand upon the rise and
all of wages. When coal miners can not
arm decent and comfortable living by their
ubterranean toll, they do not begin to reason
7hen they cease to dig.
Striking among laborers may in some re-
poets do more harm than good, but how else
an they protect themselves against the ava
ice and injustice of employers? 1t is an un-
eemly warfare when capital and labor thus
ntagonize. but how is it to be hindered i?
he cause is deep-rooted in human nature,
nd will always exist and manifest itself. If
apital could always be in the hands of true !
entlemen, there would be no antagonism be
geen workingmen and proprietors.
