Some of Mr.. GEORGES Views,

Although Mr.. Henry George was the
worSingmen's candidate for Mayor OF
New FORK at the late election, and is con-
sldered their friend now, he does not ap-
prove Of some OF the methods employed
to accomplish their purposes, and he does
not sympathiZe with some OF their ideas.
FOR instance, in speech at New Haven
on Monday night he said: "StriEes ant
ooycotts, to my mind, are like swords and
rifles; they are ugly weapons, and al
though it may tie necessary IN some in
stances to resort TO them, it is not by the
use OF either that the workingmen can
secure their rights" Further along In
his speech he said: mo man has a right
TO demand work OF another; no man has a
rightto say to another that he must or must
not employ a certain man. WHAT we must
do is TO produce condition OF things
that will furnish an opportunity for all to
work; what we want is that all men shall
have equal opportunities to secure work"
1t Is true that strikes and boycoots are
ugly weapons. and it is very doubtful if
worSingmen have ever been able to Sc
cure any permanent benefit from the use
OF them. There are not wanting cases,
however, where they have done working
men incalculable harm. Those who were
engaged in the great strike on the Gould
southwestern railway system last spring
accomplished nothing for themselves and
brought suffering into hundreds Of
homes. The same is true with respect to
the recent strike in the Chicago stock
yards.
Ofcourse the purpose OF the majority OF
those who engage in strikes, or resort to
the boycott, is to improve their material
condition, and doubtless they are sincere
in thinking that the course they pursue
to accomplish that purpose is the best
one. That it is very rarely the best one
there is ample evidence to prove.
Mr.. Henry George does not approve of
the efforts of workingmen to dictate to
employers whom they shall or shall not
employ, and he does not believe that one
man has right to demand work of an
other. 1t is probable that Mr.. George, in
this matter, speaks the sentiments
of the majority. Combinations
OF men often attempt to dictate to en-
ployes, and sometimes successfully, but it
is probable that they do so not because
they think they have the right, but be-
cause they have the power and expect to
gam some temporary advantage. 1t may
be safely assumed that strikes and boy
colts viii fall into uisuse, because that
which is not founded In justice and, there
fore, has not the approval of the majority,
cannot have a permanent place in the
social fabric.

Southern Industries.


Some of the publications devoted to
trade matters in the South seem to be
trying 10 excel eacn other in their state
ments of the increase, from month to
month, in the number of Southern in
dustries of one kind and another. The
Manufacturers Record OF Baltimore ap-
peared Tor time 10 be the champion IN
the business, and 1t may be that it is the
champion yet, but it will hardly be denied
that the Tradesman, of Chattanooga, is
making a strong bid for the champion
ship.
There is no doubt that the South ia
making great progress, and that there Is
remarkable activity in railroad building,
the establishing OF factories and the open
ing of mines, but it is questionable
whether the statements which appear in
some of the journals devoted to trade mat
tiers are calculated to convey a correct
impression. Take, for instance, the
Chattanooga Tradesman's statement for
the quarter ending Dec. ], and what does it
snow? Why, among other things, that
within the last three months siXty-tive
railroad companies have been organized
within the South, and that most of them
have begun work. Eleven of these COM
panies, it seems, are in this State. The
Tradesman may be right. The South is a
big section OF country and Georgia is big
state. 1t would be a difficult matter,
however, to name twelve railroads pro-
ected in this State within the last three
months which give promise OF being built
in the near future. OF course the Tt ades-
man cannot have reference to the little
tramways which are projected from rail
| way stations TO saw mills or turpentine
| stills.
! Railroad projects are all the while be-
ing talked Of in all parts OF the STATE. and
very often companies are formed, but 1t
! doesn't follow that the projected roads
will hc builtat once, or in the near future
! Many OF them are never built at all.
| Without some explanation, therefore, an
erroneous impression is likely to be OBJ
tanned from statements OF the number Of
railroads projected. 1t Is probable that in
about every state i've times as MANY rail
roads are projected as are built.
1t may be that the statements OF these
trade journals are beneficial 10 the South,
though, perhaps, those who have paid great
attention TO them have sometimes won-
dared whether there is any more room IN
the Southern States tor railroads, ioun.
! dries, mills, factories and other things OF
kindred character.

Herr A. Bevsler, a celebrated German
engineer who recently visited the i'sna-
ma canal, has published a paper .lving
some facts about it CLEANED from observs-
tiOn. He says thai sit is impossible al
most to describe the waste and extrava-
gance which is going on along the canal.
Engines, dredgers. eXcavators and every
thing OF that sort lie along the line of the
canal very much as bones used to line the
old wagon trail across the prairie. H.
looks like a woful miscalculation to order
machinery which cannot be used and
then let it rust in the rain and sun. The
whole enterprise is covered over with red
tape, and in the midst of all the circum-
locutiOn the money is lost by the
thousand" OF the climatic influences
he states that ''the death list is something
terrible. At each OF the fifteen sections
on the line there are several deaths each
day, and the work is one long graveyard,
as the men are buried where they die,
without collins even. unless the dead
have friends to watch the burial. Out
of Colon a train of baggage car and a
switch engine runs twice a day to Mon
key Hill, where the burial place for the
town is located Eight out OF ten, it is
calculated, die IN the French Hospital"
OF the progress of the work and expendi-
ture incurred he estimates that of the
100000. 900 cubic metres of earth to be ex-
cayated, there is, according to this au-
thority, up to the present time, but $780,
600 done. There has been expended up
to date more than $l07, 100000.

The revenue officers are on the alert TO
catch the viOlators OF the oleomargarine
law. In Washington they appear to be
altogether too anxious to find victims. A
cOlored missionary from Virginia was
arrested day or two ago in that city for

his way to Pennsylvania to be married,
and that last Thursday his sister sent
him TO market TO buy some butter, as she

who arrested him. The court referred to
the law, which requires sale, and as the
law does not provide tor the Offering for

the missionary was allowed to 20 to his

Fall from her noseess as the snow,

That aught were easier than TO bless.

Her life doth rightly hrrmonize:

Statistics rarely help the cause OF
chronic grumblers. The New York Herald
presents a statement of the relative con-
dition of the masons and bricklayers in
London, Paris, Berlin and New York,
from which it appears that London, with
25,0C0 bricklayers, pays 81 80 per day I;
Paris, with 10000 bricklayers and masons,
81 40 per day; Berlin, with 10000 brick
layers, 81 % per day, and New YorK, with
1000 bricklayers, 81 per day, The Herald
further shows that in proportion to the
number of inhabitants a much larger
amount of work is performed
in New York than IN either of
the three named European capitals: and
while it is said that in London, Paris and
Berlin quite a proportion of these mechan-
les is out OF work, in consequence of
stagnation in the building trade, 1t is
probable that the New York bricklayer
who earns 81 per day performs in the
course of his days work very considera.
BILE more service than would be required

side of the Atlantic. This would to some
extent account for the difference in
wages, and shows that wages is con-
trolled by the amount OF work performed
and the opportunities for employment.

The greatest profit in poultry keep
ing is from the early chickens. BY
good feeding and management, some
of the hens may be brooding in JAN
nary, and all the chicks may be saved
by the use Of artificial brooders. In
oubators are used by experts with
success, but farmers and ordinary
poultry keepers are rarely successful
with these machines. Breeders, how
ever, may be used by any person,
even boy or girl, who will simply
see that the heat is not excessive,
and when the chicks open their
mouths, give them fresh air Eighty
