Railroad Strfk ers.


The strike Of the employees on the
railroads in Missouri continues, to the
great incon venience OF business men, and
serious loss to the community at large.
Thus far there has been no violence, but
in one or two instances the military
have been called ont to preserve the
peace. Governor Marmaduke reminds
the strikers that they have the right to
refuse to work because Of unsatisfactory
wages, but they have no right TO com
bine to prevent other men from doing
30, and he will use all resources in his
power to prote; 1t all parties in the en-
! Mt of their privileges. We hope
T.. he difficulties may soon be AMIGA
bly, adjusted, aud business will resume
its wonted channels.
In this connection we may remark
that it is the height of folly, as rule,
for men TO engage in strikes. All dis
putes should be settled by conference or
arbitration.
1t il sound policy in every man to
keep constantly employed at all times
and under all circumstances. 1t Is bet
ter to work for the merest pittanCe than
TO remain idle at home, or go tramping
from town to town in search of IA better
Job. In nine cases out of ten the EN-
ployees are worsted by strike. Ever
when they glin their point, it takes a
long time TO make up the money lost
by q few weeks idleness. This should b.
remembered by all classes of workmer
Above all, men who engage in a.strik'
has no right to prevent by force the elm
ployment of others In doing 80 they
become law breakers, aud render them
selves liable TO he arrested and punished
This point should be fully understood
30 that there may be no necessity o
meeting force with force, and doing in
Jury to lie and property. Our city ha
not been disgraced by strikes as man.
other places have been, and we hop
that 1t may forever escape such dis
honor.

FARM BUILDINGS.
Tho Advantages Arising from Keeping
Them Well Painted.

Them Well Painted.
Notwithstanding the fact that enter
prising farmers make a practice of
painting their farm buildings. and agri-
cultural writer's set forth the advantages
of such q course, the practice is not
common. ALI over the country, while
it is very rare to see an Imprinted farm
house, it is quite rare to see the other
farm buildings with even single coat
Of paint or any paint applied to the
roof of the dwelling or to any other
roof on the premises. The very prettiest
and neatest of farm houses are too often
found lacking in this respect Houses,
and indeed all buildings. are painted for
two reasOns-a coat of paint adds very
much to the attractiveness of . building:
an implanted house is of all objects the
most unsightly. Paint. however. is =
most valuable protection from the
weather. 1t is quite safe to say that q
building which is kept well painted will
last more than twice as long as one that
Is suffered to 60 Imprinted.
The fact that buildings are painted
not only to add to their external beauty,
but also as means of retarding decay,
is the best possible argument in favor
of painting roofs of all farm buildings.
The roof is, of all parts of building,
the most liable to decay. The manner
of making roofs which prevails in this
country, viz. of pine or cedar shingles,
is very conducive to quick decay. The
roof holds the water, and the constant
wetting due to rains and subsequent
drying. is also very conducive to decay.
l have this year painted my house with
a black paint. which has the merit of
being fire-proOf. and also of filling up
all the cracks and interstices between
the shingles, SO as to insure a water
proof quality. My objection to crude
petroleum is that it has no merit, ex-
cept as q wood preservation. 1t adds
nothing to the appearance of roof.
The roof to which i have referred as
being painted with fire-proof paint
has ever since presented very at
tractive appearance. The paint has q
very rich gloss that can be seen in the
sun for very long distance.
Farmers, paint your roofs with soma
kind of paint as often as you paint the
remainder of your buildings. and repaint
the roof at least once in two years; il
will prove the very best investment on
the farm.-Cor. Country GentleaGn.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

The JeDish Messenger says that to
the curious specimens of prayer lately
published may be added this of mod
ern rabbi: ''Oh, Lord. Thou remem-
berest we said last week." etc.
"A revivalist at Louisville was inter-
rupted the other day by crying baby,
whose mother started for home with it
Don't take the baby out" the
preacher cried, II wish there were fifty
babies here. God bless the mother for
bringing that baby. Let It cry; l can
talk louder than babies can cry"
According to the latest published
statement, under the authority of the
Baptist Church in New York State, it
appears that there are in the State 1853
churches, or four less than last year,
and that the membership amounts to
116, 05S, indicating. as compared with
last yesr, a gain of 1881. The saptisms
of the year numbered 5.012, or zoo in
excess OF the previous year.
Those who are striving to devise
means for the preservation of American
forests are being well abetted by the
school-authorities in many localities
The "arbor-days" of the schools and
colleges are bringing the youth of the
land to an appreciation of the value Of
trees, and are awakening strong public
sentiment in favor of energetic means
to check the processes of wastefui dem
udation. 1t will probably be much
easier in the time of the next generation
to get legislation in the matter.-Cur-

The Buffalo Commercial advertiser

er who has discarded geographical text
books for season, and in the mean

the means available, with the situation,
history, physical features, material re-
sources and political conditions of the
Soudan, Russia, England, Afghanistan
and other countries, the scenes of great

to be more practical and profitable than
in committing to memory the names OF

When he goes to the theater he sits

he comes and act as if you always
knew he was deaf. 1t will make him
feel easier
1.-THE next day at noon Sloan and his
visitor entered the Leader office. Puff
fer was waiting for them. Sloan took
their cards. and gave Puf1er's to Gam
boz, and vice versa. Both men smiled
at each other encouragingly. and, pro-
ducing pads of paper big enough to
write Presidents message on, sat
down beside the editorial desk.
81 am glad to meet you,' wrote
Puffer, on his pad.
"Gambol took the scrawl and looked
a. it, first out of one eye and then out
of the other. A puzzled look came over
his face. Finally he turned the paper
upside down, and light of intelligence
broke upon his counteaance. Taking
up his pencil, he wrote:
81 am exceedingly sorry to hear it
Did you ever try Simpsons extract"
and handed it back to Puffer.
"When Puffer read this his mouth
opened with astonishment. He took
his pencil and wrote on the bottom of
the sheet:
~ don't want any extract am
not sick. l simply said l was pleased to
meet you
Then he showed the paper over to
Gambol, and waited for q reply. Ii
Gambol was puzzled at the first COM
munication, he was in reality stricken
dumb at the second. He glanced ap
pealingly at Sloan, who was at that mo-
ment attentively looking at a picture
on the wall, with his handkerchief in his
mouth to smother his laughter. Finally
he struck what seemed to him to be a
clue, and he wrote in reply:
Yes, thanks, don't care if do; but
don't you think we had better go to
lunch tirst?'
"Then he handed back the roll to the
editor. and smiled smile of mingled
dissatisfaction and relief.

The movement leading to a joining Of
issues between South Dakota and New
Mexica in regard to seeking admission
into the union at the same time, which
has heretofore been referred to by the
Free Press seems to be gaining ground
and may yet crystalize into something
tangible. New Mexico is democratic
and Dakota republican. BY this move
ment it ID hoped that New Mexico can
carry Dakota through the house of rep
resentatives if Dakota car return the
compliment in the senate. If New
Mexico has the requisite population to
entitle her to a member of congress the
Free Press can see no objection to her
admission. Unlike Nevada, New Mexi-
co can never go back because Of her
varied interests and industries, but will
