Owing to the stringency Of the
times there has been a grand tumble
in the prices of all manufactured
goods Taking advantage of the
unprecedented low figures Mr.. B.
turner of Pineville has gone to
headquarters and laid in mammoth
stock OF dry goods, clothing, notions,
hats, boots and shoes. furniture, etc :,
which he has had shipped to him by
the Car load, thus saving largely in
the cost of transportation and the
charges OF middle men, and of which
customers will be given the full
benefit. The provision market has
also felt the general depression, and
Mr.. Turner's stock was secured at
bottom figures.

EVER SINCE the United States Con-
gress made an ass of itself trying to
build up a wall that would keep the
Chinese out of the country, some states
men of British Columbia have been
doing all they could to induce the
Dominion government to follow the
foolish example set by this republic. So
far they have only partially succeeded,
but there is a prospect that ere long
Canada, like the United States, will
have an anti Chinese law. As matter
OF fact, the Chinese have helped the
British Columbians greatly in the de-
yeiopment of that region, just as they
aided the whites in California. The
British possessions III the northwest and
California are ten years in advance of
what they would have been had there
been no Chinese to perform the labor
at cheap rates. If both governments
would enact laws Tor driving out dema-
gogues, scrub politicians and flannel
mouthed agitators, and encourage the
immigration OF Chinese honest, indus
trious, laboring men would be ininit
" better oil.

THE LABOR BUREAU.

The national bureau OF labor' oi
which Col. Wright, OF Massachusetts
was recently confirmed as chief prom
ises to become one of the most u'e'tu
departments of government. II II snail
do what is intended for it, will certaihl!
result in much good. Col. Wright, De-
ing asked the other day, in what way
the bureau would help the working peo-
pie, said
It can help them by bringing to them
2 wider knowledge OF the forces which
belong to Industry. If the laborer and
his employer can be taught that their
interests are not as they have been toid,
identical, but On the other hand reclpro-
cal much will have been done to secure
reciprocal peace. If he can learn
through Investigation that wages are
the result of laws outside the control of
himself and his employer, he has learn
ed much toward securing his own com
fort. If his employer can learn that
with broad, humane, Christian treat
ment which is epitomized by the golden
rule. he receives better and surer dlyl-
dends and that his works and his enter
prises are safer and more secure, the Ia
borer has been helped in an inestimable
degree These are few of the direc-
tons through which aid can be brought
to the laboring classes by bureau oil
the kind in question.
The ignorance OF wage workers and
the lack of wisdom on the part OF en-
pIoyers, are the two causes to which
may be traced nine-tenths Of the
troubles which afTlict the poorer classes
and the losses suffered by the richer.
When capital and labor come to under
stand their true relations, and that they
are alike essential to the welfare OF each
other, we will see less distress among
laborers, and not so much senseless and
expensive arrogance on The part of
money. The labor bureau should be
able to explain and make clear what is
now mystery to the workingman and
the employer.

the enploye

JUDGE ZANE told the Grand Jury that
it should find an indictment when all
the evidence before it, taken together,
if unexplained or uncontradicted,
would, in its judgment, warrant con-
viction by trial jury. His honor did
not say it in so many words, but the in
struction noted above is equivalent to
saying that if the evidence before the
Grand Jury is insufficient to warrant a
conviction by the Petit Jury, no in
dictment should be presented. If this
rule or instruction be followed, there
will be little fault found with the work
OF the Grand Jury, and there will be a
marked falling off in the number of
vexatious and malicious prosecutions.
In this connection it is suggested that
Mr.. Dickson may find his field OF oper-
atoms brought down TO narrower limits.
If the Grand Jury shall obey Judge
Zane, the District Attorney will not in
duIge in the malicious sport of prosecu
ting people on suspicion, and after
wards clutching out wildly and blinaly
here and there for evidence to con-
Wet. He will be compelled to
know what testimony he has before being
allowed to put men to the trouble and
expense of defending themselves against
his assaults.

THE LAST year Of the liquor traffic III
Kansas, high license being imposed on
dealers, government issued 1872 licenses
in the State, and the business was under
fair control. The number of licenses
issued by. government the first year of
prohibition was 500. the second wear
1900, and last year 1900. and during
these past three years the business has
run wild, being under fewer restrictions
than formerly. When the high license
was inaugurated in Chicago, there were
$500 saloons in the city, and at the end
Of six months the number had been re-
duced to $500, while the city revenue
from this source had increased 81 ,5OO,-
600. The New York Times, IN view of
the increase of high license elsewhere
suggests . novel plan for reducing the
number of drinking places in that city ;
it is that where there are ten saloons in
a district, the number be reduced to
one, and the privilege of selling be put
ND at auction, the highest bidder who
can bring certificate Of character and
responsibility eng awarded the bust
ness. The high license method OF re
stricting the sale of liquor and con-
trolling the traffic +. steadily gaining in
favor as the best way Of dealing with a
business that cannot be suppressed.

THE MISGUIDED IRISH.

Poor Ireland is suffering more from
tine misdirected efforts of her friends
than from the harshness OF the British
government. Indeed to the unwisdom OF
The best lovers Of the Irish may be largely
changed the severity and seeming
cruelty OF the British in dealing with
the people Of the turbulent island The
men who assassinated Cavendish and
Burke loved Ireland 50 dearly that they
would have lain down their lives to
help her oct of her distress, and yet
they deliberately did that which would
naturally result in bringing upon their
countrymen additional trouble and
suffering. Cunningham, the fellow now
in prison awaiting trial for being
implicated in the dynamite explosions
at the House OF Parliament and the
Tower of London, is undoubtedly
devout and enthusiastic supporter of
the Irish cause, but ne unwisely re-
tards that cause, delaying its success by
many years, by foolish yet malicious
act that all good people must condemn.
O'Donovan Rosa, the fre-eating Fen
ian of New York who is lying in a hos
pitai awaiting the outcome of Mondays
shooting affair, processes the warmest
devotion to the cause of his oppressed
countrymen, but his zeal overcomes his
Judgment. and everything that he does
retarts rather than advances any bene-
fit to his people Even Parnell the great
Irish leader OF whose patriotism and
devotion there can be no doubt, has
in fact been the very worst enemy TO
the Irish. He has arrayed his country
men as nation against the English, |
who have been placed by him in the |
position of conquerors, and have thus !
compelled the latter to adopt severe
measures in dealing with the Irish, in
order to protect themselves. To such a
pitch OF excited enmity against Eng
land has he aroused his fellows, that he
dare not denounce the devilish deeds of
the dynamiters, knowing that it would
cost him his popularity if MOTHS life to
do so.
Everywhere there is a warm feeling of
sympathy for the Irish, but among in
telligent people tits opposed by counter
feeling OF censure and reproach that they
should manifest so much ignorance and
such a remarkable lack of wisdom.
The objects aimed at are legitimate and
proper enough, but their methods and
operations are detestable, being die
tated by the very worst passions Of the
heart. The means employed are simply
fatal to the attainment Of the end. The
Irish have two things to learn. and the
man who who will teach them will be
better friend than all the ParnelIs, and
Rossas, and Cunninghams and others
of the agitators that ever existed. These
are, first, that Ireland can never be free
and independent Of England; and sec
Ond, that all efforts to make it free and
independent simply tighten the bands
binding her to England. When these
two truths are learned, the Irish may
t1rn TO, and, reversing their turbulent,
self-torturing policy, become the light
hearted, gay, honest, frugal and happy
people that seems to have been intended
when the race was created.
