TIE LARoR rR0uBLEs.

In the coal mines, on the railroads,
on the street cars, from the foundries
and the glass furnaces come startling
news Of strikes, of wrecks and strug
giles fraught with dangerand demand
ing consideration. We are glad to
note that in most instances respecta-
BILE and peaceable efforts are being
made for an adjustment of difficulties.
The folly that destroys dollar
worth of property in strike, only
lessons the ability Of capital to con
cede the demand. The changing of
one dollar from the hands Of the en-
ployer to those of the employe is a
matter of value placed upon ration
al basis-one gives money-the 9th
er, muscle, and at best, brain power.
This exchange must be mutual.
Neither can be permitted by law to
rob the other, nor ought one impose
ON the other. Capital should not
want too much from labor, nor should
labor expect to capture capital and
control business by assaults upon
persons or property. The man who
objects to and will not let another
work simply attempts to enslaye his
fellow-b being. On this same subject
the Baltimore Americam says:
"The strikers of the Texas Pacific
Railroad in Marshall, Texas, adopted
a new plan which, we doubt not, will
prove most effective SO far from
injuring the property of the road, the
Knights of Labor set guard of their
own men over the company's proper
ty to protect it against the tramps
and camp followers who so often mix
themselves in with the real laboring
men and degrade their cause. Be-
yond doubt, this care of the compa-
ny's property will place the Knights
of Labor in a better position when
the negotiations for settlement take
place So in New York the other
day. during the car conductors strike,
while not car was permitted to run,
the strikers sent a force of their own
men to feed an dwater the horses and
look after their comfort Such things
undoubtedly make a good impression
and strengthen the cause of the labor
movement in the respect of the com
munity.
''No settlement of disagreements
between employer and employe can
ever be permanent unless it is upon
the basis of mutual interest of both
the parties, and arrived at through
frank and calm discussion, and not
under the influence of passion or fear.
The moderation and good sense
shown in the recent agitations are the
best symptoms of the times.n

A WORTHY PRESIDENT.

President f. NJ. Turner, of the
Morgantown State University, is a
credit to the State Upon his cleo
ton to the head Of this then retro
grading institution, a year ago,
he announced that he would make
it one that would compare favorablv
with those of other States. He has
never swerved from his avowed pur-
pose, and to-day the University
stands as it has not for years, in the
estimation Of the people. The obi
Gus political warfare, which Tor so
long had impeded its progress, has
ceased. The President claims to
have one Of the most intelligent set
of young men ever convened in the
university.

connection with a nomination for
Congress, President Turner prompt.

ARTEMUs WARD ON EDIToRs.-Ar-

Before you go for an editor. young
man, pause and take big think Look
around and see if there is not an omni-
bus or some meat cart to drive, some
soil somewhere to be titled or a clerk
ship to be filledIanything that is repu-
table or healthy, rather than going for
an editor, which is bad business at
best. We are not horse, and conse-
quently have not been called upon to
furnish the motive power for thresh-
ing, but we fancy that the life of an ed
itor who is forced to write, whether he
feels like it or not, lis much like the steed
in question. If the yeas and the neighs
could be obtained, we believe that
the intelligent horse would decide that
the threShing machine is preferable to
the sanctum editorial. The editors
work is never done. He is drained in
cessantly, and no wonder that he dries
up prematurely. Other people can at.
tend banquets, weddings, etc, visit
halls Of dazzling light, and enjoy them
selves in variety OF ways, but the edi-
tor cannot. He must tenaciously stick
to the quill. The press, like a sick baby,

all, personally. Their characters were
good. Honest and upright in department,
they will be greatly missed. The refec-
ton comes again and again: "What is
life ~ A mere MISUNDERSTANDING from
joy to sorrow. 1t has often occurred to
me that death, even with the sorrow it
brings and the changes wrought thereby,
is not TO be compared to the sorrow and
cankering misery consequent to friends
who know and view the wreck OF mind,
once bright and clear, suddenly clouded

terror to that soul that is lit up with the
bright hope Of an endless eternity OF joy.
Our hope is stayed upon the blessed assur-
ance of His word: 'The blood of Christ

and trust are placed upon Christ as their
Saviour, ''need fear no evil"
''There are our loved ones in their rest!
They've crossed Times river.

OBITUARY.
On Friday the 9TH inst, after a very brief
illness, Mr.. w. 8. Henshaw, in the 40th
year of his age. The suddenness Of this
bereavement has overwhelmed the family
with sorrow and excites the sympathy OF
the whole community. But he is gone from
earth to be numbered among the angels OF
Heaven. He had been from youth faith
full, consistent member of the Episcopal
/ church, and was esteemed by all his neigh
! bors and beloved by all who knew him.
The wife and children are sorely stricken
/ and deeply distressed, but they find con-
ISOLATION in the assurance that he whose
/ absence from the body they so sadly de.
/ plore, is a ransOmed inhabitant Of that
/ blest land above
4 "Where rivers Of pleasure flow DER the
/ bright plains,
And the noontide Of glory eternally
/ reigns." A. j. G.
