He'll Never FORGET Her.

Recently a gentleman whose home is
in La Grange, Ga, was riding along a
road near the Alabama line, when he
saw fine, comely white woman plow-
ing with steer. This was so unusual
a spectacle that our friend thinks he for
got himself in the intensity of his rapt
gazing. Anyhow, he was startled there
from by the woman stopping in the
furrow, planting her arms akimbo,
and exclaiming in voice shrill and
sharp:
You will know me the next time you
see me, l reckon"
This was enough. Our traveller blush
ingly acknowledged that he could not
forget so pleasant face. and leaving the
flattered female with a smile on her
countenance drove on more rapidly

4 CAUSE OF FAILURE.

,Shc collapse of tile telegraphers' strike calls
attention once more to a fatal defect OF all
tradeg-upion organizations. 1t is lesson
which has been repeatedly enforced by signal
failures of previous strikes IN other lines OF
trade but the victims never seem to profit by
the sad experience.
The defect is that as organized the members
and the leaders or officers of protective union
have not a common interest. On the contrary,
they are antagonistlc by the very conditions OF
organization. The officers of union are sup
posed to be practically black-listed" by en-
ployers. They think that in accepting Office
they become marked men ; they will claim this
to be so even il it be not true. Consequently
they expect to be sustained by the organization
and supported from it's funds. 1t is their inter-
est to make the fund as large as possible. To
do this they must make it appear that organizes
ton is necessary to success; and to retain
their position and draw their pay after election
they must appear to accomplish something.
TJnscrupulous officers will not hesitate under
these circumstances to deceive the men who
blindly trust them as to the financial conol-
ton of the union and the support II can antlcl-
pate from others in striking. They exagger-
ate the chances of success as well rs the ex-
tent of their grievances. Hence they often ad-
wise and order strikes when there is no just
ground of complaint and no hope OF success.
It appears that all of these conditions existed
in the recent strike of the telegraphers. They
were ill-advsed throughout; they were de-
ceived in almost every particular, and they
were led to continue their strike by representa-
tons which were known to be false by the
leaders, VIII the operators learn wisdom by
the failure and refuse to be led blindly here
after 10y leaders with personal interests directly
opposed to their own !

TILE STATE OF RUSINESS

Some business men talk quite freely of over
production az the cause of recent embarrass-
ment. This ut least is true there has been
an Over-producton of stocks and bonds. In
that branch OF industry, however great the con-
sumption may be, it 10 never likely to produce
a famine OF a scarcity securities will be man
ufactured at least rs fast as people can be
found to buy them. During the past three years,
with new railroads building or projected from
everywhere to every where else. there have
been new stocks and bonds launched upon the
market amounting to thousand millions or
more, and, though some have sunk, a great
many have foated. But there has been no
corresponding increase in the available re-
sources of the people. Great extravaganza in
living, moreOver-in food and drink, dress,
equipage and pleasures-has consumed con-
siderable Part of the Nations earnings. We
cannot eat up or drink up all the money that
We earn, and at the same time build railroads
with it, But that is substantially what we
have been trying to do. Some Of the people
have been eating and drinking, spending and
wasting all that we had to spare, and others
have been building railroads at the same time,
and they imagined nth the same money. The
net result is debt.
OF necessity this blunder has its inconveniert
consequences, and among them are failures.
Some of them are quite large. The fact is that
in other years the failure of Shaw e. Brothers,
of McGeoch, of Barlow, or of Ballou would
have caused some excitement. But there has
been no panic this year, and will be none. The
country has been looking for trouble. Wiser
than most OF the great6nanciers, the people have
counted upon disaster OF some sort as certain to
follow excessive railroad building. Losses may
come, but no panic, when everybody is looking
for trouble. The country has been settling
