1t is common complaint that tho

How can Il man take root and thrive
without land? He writes his history
upon his field. How many ties, how
many resources he has; his friendships
with his cattle. his team. his dog. his

There are wonderful things to be

UNEMPLOYED LABOR.

From the It, Louis Journxl.I
There is no subject on which there
has been So much eXaggeration as the
amount Of unemployed labor in the
nouu,ry We recall the sensational DIS
uiich sent to some prominent official at
Washington Just before the adjournment
ul congress that there We're 10000
working men in Philadelphia out OF en-
pluN luent nn1 wanting bread. The pa
per, ut that city took it up, showed that
that WAS the entire number OF working
men III the city, nearly all OF whom had
emp. .ovInrnt and were content. Recently
II was stated that 900 unemployed
men were roaming about in MasSachu-
>rtt> The matter WAS Investigated by
tn" labor bureau. and it was ascertained
that the number honestly seeking labor
was about 1000 We have heard 4 good
| deal lately about Iowa and other north
I crn states being over-run with trampS,
| and yet the farmers OF that region for
/ two weeks past have been advertising
| for harvest liborers and paying from
= to = - per day wages. The truth
! j tlIat the number OF men who want
work and will work is smaller than It
has been tor some time past, and this
shows an industrial revival which will
20 on. unless the business OF The coun-
Try is injured by the folly of the politi-
c!ans getting up exciting party issues
without any real foundation and merely
to advance partisan interests.

How they Manage the Thing in

Baltimore sun, Paris Letter. !

Coming by the back of the Champ de
Mars, TO-DAY. was attracted by Il group
around a Photographic policeman who
was making rather an awkward effort To
take y picture of an old house wherein
an aged woman had suddenly died. |
inquired into the subject. 1t appears
that the poor old soul at eighty seven
years of age put out her lamp of lite
sooner than was expected by her neigh
bors. A Young man had disappeared
and so had few hundred francs. The
police were put on the qni ere. and
the first thing they did was 10 photo
graph the cold old corpse and then the
house. Now they are looking tor the
missing youth to take his picture. 1t Is
| amusing to see the warehouses; that
photography performs amongst the
| Paris police. First OF all they photo,
graph themselves. from the highest to
the lowest. Then they photograph some
of their relations. and perhaps friends.
They photograph all their first and sec
ond-class prisoners. In the exhibition
their "rogues gallery" is quite an ar
raw of celebrities and would form j

applied in all cases nt murder rs t.
persons and places. Before the mur.
