FUANCIP4TION Of LABOR.

The collapse of combinations, both of capt.
tai and of labor, is the most significant fea-
tire of the times. The overthrow OF railway,
coal and manufacturing leagues is long stride
toward solid and lasting prosperity. But
still more important step in the same direction
is the collapse of the Trades Unions. The num-
Der of such organizations nominally existing
has been diminished, but far less than their
power or the number of men subject to their
control. Some have brought their ring
leaders to the prison or the gallows.
Others have destroyed their power by
indefensibe strikes, ending in ignomnious
failure. Others recognizing the inevitable,
have formally abandoned the attempt to con-
troll the labor or compensation of members.
But nearly every association of the kind has
been deserted by large number of its former
adherents.
The reason is plain. These unions have be-
come nuisance, not only to the country, but
even more to the intelligent and competent
workmen Whenever they were employed
only in resisting real oppression, they COM
manded sympathy, and rapidly gained support.
But they were soon used by worknen OF in
ferior merit. to secure for themselves grade
of compensation which only the most capa-
ble and faithful workmcn deserved or could
have obtained in free negotiations between
employer and employed. To secure monop-
DIV of employment for those, good or poor,
who belong to the Unions, was the first at
tempt. Then all sorts of arbitrary rules and
petty swindles were devised, to force employ
crs to pay the poorest nearly the same wages as
the best men. Industry was demoralzed, ana
its general efficiency greatly impaired by the
substitution of these wiles and devices for the
care fidelity and intelligence by which free
workmen naturally seek to render their ser
vices ell-paid and indispensable. Strikes grew
far more frequent, so that employment, even
for the best men. became less steady. Sober
and industrious men, with families to support,
often protested in vain. They were able and
willing to earn a living. without the ar
bitrary regulations of any combination,
| and could do better with steady work at

sclf-sac,iice, devotion to back 1t up, rs there
were in 1856 to take up and carry forward the
standard OF human freedom. 1t Is not possible
that the uninterrupted possession OF power ior
seventeen years has so corrupted ana dchlor-
allied the prrty that it has to depend now Tor
success, not upon its adherence TO principle
and It's devotion to high standard OF political
morality, but upon the partisan services ana
selfish labors of its pensiOned committeeman
If this were the case it would he vastly better
for the party to die in one supreme enOrt 10
emancipate itself than TO pgolong useless ana
mischievous existence with no aim but partisan
success, no purpose but the retention OF pat
ronage and power. The President has under
taken by this order to establish beyond qncs-
ton, that "he serves his party best VINO serves
the country best" On the pant OF oihce-holdeI5
he asks nothing but that thew will confine their
party service to honest service oil the govern
ment. We are told that it is visionary scheme
and can not succeed. Well, we shall see. 1t
is certainly an experiment worth trying.

with probably 10000 Russians above
the western flank of the quadriateral, and Mt
least 10000 threatening its eastern flank, i'll
the DObrudil. So far the Turkish troops re-
main as they were prior to the invasion, ex-
ceptng the small number who have returned
from the Dobrudja. Abdul Kclim's statement
that battle is imminent at Bipla on the Jantra,
indicates that he is about to STAY the march
of the invaders at that point, should 1t be i'll his
power to do SD. Bicla being the apex of Il
Triangle of which SistOva and Rustchuck are
the base, the turks might in three days con-
ccntTatc there large force which the Russians
could not avoid, especially if they intend march
ing on Tirnova, 30 miles southwark. Until
therefore the belligcrents approach this point no
great conflict seems probable.
1t is a most excellent showing which the Life
Saving Service makes for the past year. Only
80 out of ,253 lives impcrilled by shlpwreck
were lost, and a very large proportion of the
property was also recovered. But life is the
matter of chief concern in a shpwreck, and
the fact that but three per cent. Of the lives
which the Service had an opportunity to save
were lost is almost the high st possible trlb-
ute to its efficiency. Complete as this efficiency
is placing our LifeSavlng Service above that
of Great Britain, for instance, the gratifying
announcement Is now made that IT Is to be con-
siderably increased by newly devised improve
mcnts in the apparatus OF the force These
will give an additional range to the shot-Gne,
by means of which wrecks are reached OF
more than 100 yards. This is precisely the
mint for which fine heads of the service have
been striving, the shot-line having in some
critical cases fallen short of the wreck and the
news that there is a marked advance towards
