The Cleveland iron masters who
have lately been confronted with a
dangerous strike, are not entirely
blameless. They were especially I'M
wise in bringing over, at the time OF
some former troubles, q great many
ignorant and degraded Poles and b.
hemians, whose only recommendation
was that they were glad to work at
lower wages than workmen already in
the country were willing to accept.
For a time the iron masters profted
by the cheap labor oftheseimmigrants,
but when they had learned the con-
ditiofs of their employment they be-
camemore Interchangeable than the men
they hadreplaced. They had no sense
OF the responsibilities of citizenship,
no capacity or desire for self-control.
In their ignorance they believed that
the freedom and the government ofthe
people OF which they had heard meant
that they could do as they pleased
and that their employers must COM
ply with their demands. They have
had practical lesson. and also the
iron masters.

Minister Lowell was often accused
by his own countrynlen Of tuft-hunt-
ing, or toadyism to the British nobil-
ity, but Mr.. Phelps, his successor, has
taken a long step in advance OF any
performance by Mr.. Lowell, Mr..
Phelps latest achievement was at a
banquet recently given to the eldest son
Of the Prince OF Wales. When called
upon to respond to atoast, he indulged
in a flight OF eloquence to the effect
that he could forecast no happier
horoscope for the royalyouth, ethan
that he should follow in his fathers
footsteps; that he should learn from
his fathers experience how much bet
ter even than a nations admiration
is a nations affection; that he should
learn from his fathers light what's the
truth" In view of recent disclosures
of the character OF British nobility,
and the well-known reputation OF the
Prince Of Wales, it wonld seem that
Mr.. Phelps made q great mistake.

Large portraits of the dead hero draped in
mourning were placed on the balconies and

and there met the colonel with the formal
preference of a request that an autopsy
might be held They stated that their pur-
pose was not in the least to confirm their
opinion OF the disease, for they had at all
times been united in demonstrating the
case as one Of cancer, but the time had come
when the medical staff might step aside from
the patient invite any other medical
or surgical autopsist to conduct the exa1ni-
nation, which should speak for itself. This
both Doctors Douglas and Shrady urged as
far as professional and personal dignity
could permit; but Col. Grant replied that
the entire family were SO thoroughly united
in their confidence in the diagnosis and treat
ment OF the physicians that they bould not
conceive necessity for an autopsy.

an ideal article. II we could believe
1t, we would relish it and be glad.
We have for years been persisiently
urging the planter to do exactly what
the Town Talk would apparently
have us believe he is now doug; save
more, spend less; raise more, buy
less; diversity his crops, pay more
attention to gardening, fruit raising,
dairy products, and cattle; learn 10

porting, and more independent Of
the merchant; but it sounds like q
fairy tale to be told that all this is
conie true, aud more-that the plant
er of late bias become mnre indie
t-endent, does much Of his trade
with the country merchant, aud often
sells him his erop"!.! That is a
rather rickety sign Of independence.
What Il it we have heard somewhere
about the plantations somehow slip
ping so enslly into the hands of the
handy country merchant !?
But the less n which the country
pspers are en.ieavoring to inculeate--
for it is not the Town Talk alone---is
directed toward the enlightenment Of
the city merchant. 1t il his fnult,
somehow. that the industrious pIants +
has been squeezed dry. The whole

don't exactly see how that could be
