and wages lost, are not In reality IrlcndS
to that laboring element. The strike
was not so much a matter OF how much
a man could live on, but how much
reduction in wages he would stand
without protest. Wages are one thing
and principle another. IL is true, no
doubt, that the strikers felt keenly the
wages not earned during the strike, but
the matter II about as broad ms II Is
long; they could not support their fami-
! lies upon the sum proposed, and the
strike would have had TO come In the
end. The prosperity and contentment
Of the working class is the prosperity OF
the country at large.
TnE following epigrammatic periods
are from President Porter, OF Yale. They
will repay perusal: Young men, you
are the architects Of your own fortune;
rely on your strength Of body and soul;
take for your star self-rellance; inscrbe
on your banner: "Luck is a fool, Pluck
| Is n hero" Don't take too much advice;
keep at the helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the art Of com
handing is to take a fair share OF the
work. Think well OF yourself Strike
out. Assume your own position. Put
potatoes in n cart. go over rough road,
and the small ones go TO the bottom.
Rise above the envious and jealous.
Fire above the mark you Intend to hit.
Energy, invincible determination, with
right motive, are the levers that move
the world. Don't swear. Don't deceive.
Don't read novels. Don't marry until
you can support wife. BE civil. Read
the papers. Advertise your business.
Make money and do good with It, Love
Your God and fellowmen. Love truth
and virtue. Love your country and
obey its laws.
Iri common understanding, says
the Cincinnati Times Star, "that the
doctors who attend General Grant re-
gard his case as hopeless. They think
nothing can arrest the cancerous
growth and all that can be done for him
is to continue course OF treatment
which will alleviate pain and may pro-
long his life somewhat Yet, while adj
hitting that they are bailled, these doc
tors refuse to allow specialist to treat
their patient because he doesn't happier
to have a diploma. The specialist hai
been quite successful, it is said, In cur
ing cancer, and there is no evidence thai
) in any case his medicines killed or in
iured patient. The immediate friendi
ofGeneral Grant naturally desire to leave
nothing undone that might restore hin
to health, and they are anxious for tn,
specialist to try his remedies. But med
ical ethics will not permit. The mar
has no diploma. 1t is impossible for any
one without q diploma to cure disease
And even ifhe might effect cure, i
isn't proper that he should. wonder
