30 Cause for Wonder.

Northern Republicans who wonder
that their party has SO little strength
among the whites of the cotton States
would find a sufficient explanation if
they should contrast the condition OF
these States under Democratic rule
with the situation when the carpet
baggers were in power. Take Ala
bama, for instance. When the Spen-
Ger gang controlled the State there
were constant collisions between the
races, the finances were demoralized,
the school system was in wretched
plight, and the aspect of affairs was SO
diScouraging that many god citizens
were removing to other States Now
harmonious relations exist between
whites and blacks, the cost of govern
ment has been leSsened, the tax rate
has been reduced, and returning pros
perity not only has arrested tae exodus
of citizens, but has begun to attract I'M
migrants from Other States and coun-
tries. Best of all, the school system
has been greatly improved, and Gov
ernor O'Neal was able to say in his re-
cent message to the Legislature that
"no other State appropriates so large
4 proportion OF its taxes TO public
schools, and in no other is the school
fund so economically handled or 90
nearly all paid to those who earn it tle
school-room. The Governor also gave
the assurance that las prosperity gives
them ability, the people will increase
the resources of the school system aud
its usefulness. ~ !. Post.

MONEY IND BUSINESS.

II cannot be said that the business outlook
improved last week. The strikes were the
chief feature of encouragement, and their i'm
mediate influence on business was probably ex-
aggerated in most minds. Labor disturbances
do have an unfavorable influence but COM
parisOn of exchanges in cities where great
strikes have been in progress shows that their
effect upon actual purchases and sales as
shown by payments through the banks, is not
Immediately so great as is usually supposed
Strikers have some money to begin the contest
are usually helped some by labor organiza-
tions have more or less credit with stores, and
so continue buying for a time rs if no contest
were in progress. In any case, they generally
live through the contest, for cases of actual
starvation are happily rare in this land. Con-
sumption by strikers and their families does not
wholly cease, even at the worst times and at
the outset is hardly lessened. Enormous losses
inevitably are felt sooner or later. and affect all
branches of business, but not as speedily or di-
rectly as many suppose.
In this case, the chief evil is the prevailing
apprehension that the disturbance may extend
to almost any other branch of business or to
parts of the country not now affected. This
makes capitalists of all kinds indisp0sed to en-
gage in new contracts Mill and mine and
factory owners, since they cannot say what de
mands may be made by labor before contract
can be filed, are apprehensiye Of loss In many
cases that are known, manufacturers decline to
make contracts except with a stipulation that
they are not to be held responsible if inter
rupted by demands of labor. But in most in
stances such stipulatOns cannot be made. One
important establishment in New-Jersey tried
to secure the written agreement of the men to
work ut present rates and terms for four
months so that large contract could be safely
taken. The men were suspicious and refused
the firm declined the contract and closed the
works indefinitely. 1t is not possible to meas
ure the extent TO which the demand for labor is
affected by this uncertainty, at a time when
events suggest to every mind the idea that the
workers are making demands in every di-
rectioD, as if by some concert, too often with
little regard tn the state OF the business.

loss or the OREGON.

The triD TO Europe in these days is con-
sidcred by a large part OF the community as
nothing more serious than a disagreeable
ferry trim. TIE loss of so splendid vessel as
fhe Oregon, therefore, will remind them
that ocean travel still has its terrible
perlls The details OF the accident at
the time of writing are meagre, but 1t APP
pears that it occurred early yesterday morning,
when the Oregon was not far from our shores
An unknown schooner ran into her, making an
enormous hole. The nine transverse water
tight bulkheads of the steamship at least kept
her from sinking rapidly, for she did not go
down until o'clock in the afternoon. fOrtu-
natcIv she was in the track Of incoming craft
and one or two vessels Went specify 90 the
rescue. In due time the pasSeng RS. crew ana
mails We're transferred to a pilot-boat ana
schooner near at hand, and later % the steam
ship Fulda. .u
The Cunard Steamship Company can still
boast that they have never lost passenger.
That fact will be no little consolation TO
them. OF course the responsibility Tor
the accident is not yet fixed. 1t VIII
be Interesting to know exactly what the state
of the atmosphere was, how fast the Oregon

so fatal damage to the enormous hull OF the
steamship. 1t has generally been said that, IN
2 collision such as this one presumably was
there would be no danger for the bl 2
ship and no chance for the little one. rms
Judgment must apparently be reversed
Much interest will also be felt to know the
exact thickness OF the steamships shell and
WHY the water-tight bulkheads did not Keep
her anoat despite the hole. People VIII
wonder, too, if the hull was so easily
crushed in by the schooner what KIND OF
n cruiser the Oregon would have made
if England and Russia had gone TO war when
the vessel was hired for the English naval
service.
Much will be said about the good uck OF the
Cunayd Line 1t has indeed been great. But
credit should also be given to the eX-
celcnt discipline which is maintained
on al Cunard vessels. The transfer OF
the passengers took several hours, and 50 ian
as is known it went on without accident. Good
luck is well enough. Good discipline is more
to be depended on.

CANADA To OVERRUN NEU-ENGLfND.
In IA recent issue of The Toronto Nail appears
what is in some ways a most interesting communi
cation on the subject of French Canadian Fccun-
dity." The writer uses as his text an obituary
notice from one OF the leading FTeuch-Canadan or
gans of Lower Canada, from which we learn OF the
decease, OF to quote more accurately, the falling
sweetly asleep in the Lord - of a certain Madame
Marianne LeyeillCc at the age of ninety-One years
who having given to the parish where she de-
parted this lite example OF all the Christian
virtues leaves to society , ~ children and grand
children of whom 46 are of the fourth generation,
$50 of the third generation. 80 of the second
and 9 of the first These details, are told, arc
not gwen as being ont of the usual course of
events but merely as a matter of interest to the
Christian world at large.
The writer however, proceeds to draw attention
to some significant facts and probabilities which in
his opinion undere this record Of female useful
ness lie begins, somewhat unkindly and ungener
ously We think by picturing the wondernent in
Yankee households" which would arise If a Yer
mont grandmother were far to forget herself and
what was due from her las to leave to posterity a
bakers dozen of descendants, including even the
offspring Of her divorced daughters "a somewhat
vague, but cruel stab, and then, In comparison,
once more rcyerts to the respected French
Canadian grandmere' who fell sweetly asleep sur
rounded by her 80 children aud grandchildren
who subsequently completely filled the parish
church ana made up respectable funeral" Tue
SIGHT of 81 sorrowng relatives around the bed of
the moriblnd matriarch must indeed have been a
touching and imprcssing sight.
We then. without farther preface or warning, cone
to the very rth and matter of this most interesting
communication We are told would that we could

ont 1t is no doubt almost wholly commercial
undertaking. but it is manifcstly certain to pro
duce colossal financial results that it deserves to
rank with the most aulacious, brilliant and acute

there are G. $50, OO0 Roman Catholics and certainly
90 per cent of them can be counted on to purchase
the work.
