THE BEST MAN.
\ Succinct Statement of His Duties and the
Manner of Discharging the Same.
New York Sun.

New York sun.
A gentleman about to be married with the Episoo-
pal form of service in church. desires to know the
true duties of the best man. and also what should be
expected of him al the reception following the
mony. Z. b. H..
The best man is the factotum for the event,
before as we'll as during the ceremony. He is
expected to supply the element which, as the
appOn ted day approaches, is generally supposed
to float away temporarily from the parties about
to enter into wedlock. He should abound in
common sense, and never lose his head. He is
the business man, and should be selected on
business principles, and not, as is tie case with
the groom, on grounds of sentiment. He is, as
it were, the anchor thrown out by the latter
character as a hold upon the Interchangeable and
Unconditional world of daily life, Of which the
rules of procedure are never altered and to
which every young couple must sooner or later
reassimilate themselves
Not that he should be unsympathetic with his
principal, but he must see that at any rate the
business portion OF preparatory matrimony shall
be conducted sensiblv.
his functions. however, sometimes vary This
is according to the condition of the principal
They may be greater or less as the latter loses
or retains his grip on the material world. But
as a rule ne must be at least prepared to engage
church, minister and music; to run errands; te,
carry messages; to lend hand whenever he can
be useful, and to jog the groom's memory when
ever necessary, as we'll as to sing his praises
On the appointed day his labors eliminate.
pointed vehicle, in suitable dress, see that the
young man about to risk it is similarly pre-
pared, carry him off to church, and, taking him
in at the side door, lead him close to the charcel.
If he gets through safely now he will oe all
right Now is the time when the other division
of the wedding party is about to come up the
aisle. He must on no account wear an air or
selfcongratuation. The very worst thing no
could do would be to look as if he thought he
was having a narrow escape himself That
would ruin the spirit Of the whole occasion He
must look as though he wished his friends lot
were his. He must appear dignifed and appre-
ciatve, perhaps trife envious. He must cheer
up the groom, give him moral support, and hold
his hat if he has one, giving it back when it is
over. With this act he surrenders his official
character, and is absolved from all further re-
sponsibilty. He has no fixed duties at the
wedding reception
But candor requires us to state that the term
best man, when applied to the groom's assistant,
is misnomer. In truth, the best man is really
he who gets the girl.

Reprehensibie Tactics.

The history of strikes, which lisa
modern invention, is only phase of
the contest between labor aud capital,
and strikes are perfectly legitimate IL
properly conducted. Corporations
will reduce pay and lengthon labor
when they eau, aud laborers will in
crease pay and shorten labor when
the opportunity occurs, and 1t Is hu-
man nature in both Instances. In all
cases of strikes the sympathy of the
public varies to one side or the other
as one side is popular and just, but
the present conduct Of the street-car
strikers in st. Louis, backed by the
Knights of Labor whichhave espoused
their cause, must meet With general
reprobation. The strike, which was
long and bitter, ended in the discom-
| future of the strikers and decided
victory for the street-car companies.
Hero the matter should have ended
aud the strikers have submitted
gracefully to the decision OF war. In
stead, and on the other hand, they are
carrying ON the warfare not with any
hopes of ultimate victory but aniInat-
ed with q desire of vengeance.
Every means is being used to hsrrass,
annoy and embarrass the victorious
companies, among which, most prom
incnt, are repeated efforts to abstract
business by frightening passenger
travel from the roads. In three dis.
tinct cases dynamite has been used in
blowing up cars, to the danger OF
limb and life of passengers, the last
Explosion throwing car containing
more than twenty passengers. among
them ladies' and children, from the
track and wrecking the car. This ii
| not only criminal, but it is dishonor
able and should be disclaimed by thu
knights OF Labor, If that orgauiza
tion would retain the respect Of tn
public. A strike is a struggle be
tween labor and capital. 1t is per
, fectly legitimate means of settling
controversy, but when it is concludes
with victory or defeat for one side o
the other, IL should be final for tina
occasion and the entente cordiale re
sumed. That is regular warfare. t
