The miserable crank st. John is endeayor-
ing to persuade the people of the State of
Georgia to give up their present license-local-
option law for the will-o'-the-wisp of c~onstitu-
tional prohibition. Under the present law,
102 out of the 1873 counties of the State are
under a practically prohibitory regime, because
it is in harmony with the prevailing public
sentiment. In the other thirty-six counties
license prevails, but the tax is put SO high,
traffic is under good police surveillance. 1t is
alaw that works as these figures indicate, that
the great fraud of 1884 wants the people to
overthrow for a legal fiction and Pigment.

DE-. RUrUs ELLIS, of Boston, is E'almost per-
suaded' that there is much to be gained in
point Of attractiveness by a change of deyo-
tional methods in colleges. He is inclined to
believe that a liturgical service is preferable
to the usual -"unpremeditated devotional ut
t~erances, which are the mood of a moment
and often made up Of vain repetitions." DIR.
Ellis will find many Of his own mind in regard
to the superiority Of a liturgy for such serv-
ice, but perhaps not entirely for the same
reason. The Boston gentleman's experience
has been different from that of most students
if he found the morning prayers at his college
unprecedented and the utterances of a pass
ing mood. The ordinary testimony of the
young men and women who have attended
''chapel exercises" at their several institutions
of learning for a heightened period is, that
the addresses to the throne Of grace, so far
from being the impulsive breathings of the
moments thought, are as stereotyped as
printed prayers. Indeed, it is not uncommon
for the listener to show his familiarity with
the petition by mentally noting any slight
variation Of wording of which the speaker is
sometimes guilty when he is repeating his
formula. For the reason that the prayers
offered by the average professor or chaplain
are not the fervent utterances of a mood but
parrot-like repetitions of a form originally,
perhaps, with little fitness to the occasion, the
idea of a liturgy will recommend itself to
many who have suffered intellectually and
spiritually from their experience.

SECRETARY BAYARD blandly explains that
his great claim for his grandfather as the
savior Of Jefferson was made off-hand, in an
impromptu speech. Very truly; but it APP
pears that Mr.. Bayard does not take notice OF
the fact that his grandfather voted against
Jefferson no less than ~thirty-1ive times, and
on the thirty-sixth ballot he refused to vote
for anybody, which had no effect one way OF
the other, as Jefferson had to have a majority
Of all the States. This point can be of nc
earthly interest, now that ~eighty-four years
have elapsed; but if Mr.. Bayard is to travel
on the reputation of his very respectable an
cestors it were well enough to have the record
STRAIGHT.

HUMAN life is very cheap. Among the
murders of the past few days was one result
ing from a man in spirit of fun refusing to
return a watch to his friend. Another man was
killed because he had remarked that he would
kill a dog if he was bitten by him. The
owner of the dog picked up a brick and
crushed the mans skull. If murderers place
such a low estimate on lie, the law should
not place too high a value upon the worthless
lives of murderers.

'1n the present case the man is a Democrat

the attention of the public to things as they

THE PREVENTION OF STRIKES.
A Plan That Is To Be Tried in Philadelphia
Contracts To Be Made with Workm,n,

PHILADELPHIA, Oct ia movement is on
foot here among the textile and other manufact-
urers looking to the adoption of measures for
the prevention of strikes which of late have
multiplied to an extent that has forced persons
employing large number of hands seriously to
consider the subject. A meeting will be held,
probably next week, at which it will be dis
cussed. The plan which it is proposed to adopt
consists in making with each employee contract
in writing, setting forth the amount of wages to
be paid and the number of hours to be worked.
and providing that one weeks notice must be give
of desire to sever the engagement. under pen
atty of the forfeiture of weeks wages. In
order to carry out the spirit of the contract it
becomes necessary for the employer to hold back
one weeks pay, which is of course handed over
upon the amicabe conclusion of the agreement
of which it is ii guarantee In case the employe
is not of age, the contract is made with his or
her legal guardian.
AS may be imagined, such an arrangement as
this affords the employer powerful lever for
the protection of his interests against the labor
organizations which have of late caused 80 much
trouble by their imperative orders. The question
recently whether such a contract would
hold it being generally recognized fact that
for the benefit Of the laboring classes there has
been good deal of special legislation. A test
case which came up before one of the city magis-
trates few days ago. however, settled that point
in favor of the employers.

that he knew of, was the so-called reciprocity

Mexico" he added, "are more cordial than they
have ever been before The feeling that closer
relationship. commercially, would be advan-
tageous Is becoming more general. and there is
less jealousy and fear on the part of the Mexi-
cans that we have any designs upon their coun-
try, or want to destroy their autonomy The
relations are now most friendly, and the Next
cans have come to see that they will get nothing
but good from closer intercourse with the
United States"
