Matthew Arnold Writes a Letter.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Matthew Arnold, who
is in America, publishes letter in the Lon
don Times, in which he says:
81 Suppose there is no country in the world
where unanimity in Mr.. Gladstone's favor is
stronger than in the United States; yet even
here, If you weigh instead of count .opinioens,
the balance opposes his Irish policy. The
main motive Americans have for sympathy
with Mr.. Gladstone is the temptation to
please the Irish. Weighty opinion is not
that of the general public who yield to this
temptation, but that of the men who resist it
and look deeper.
Of these serious people, the opinion is
against Mr.. Gladstone. Nevertheless, Amer
leans, one and all, sincerely believe that the
Irish ought to have control OF their own local
affairs.
The Marquis of Salisbury must recognize
this. If he merely tries to keep order and
let things drift he will lose great opportu--
nifty Ii he produces good scheme of local
government he will probably secure Mr..
Gladstone's support of it.

FEDERAL. pOINT ITEMS.

That winter lays late in the lap of
spring" il fully demonstrated this year.
1t is estimated that there are fully aga
acres planted in strawberries in this state
this season. The result is seen in rcduc-
ed prices for the growers.
We very much doubt il our public
schools can hc excellcd in this state.
The number of pupils is not 50 great as
in some Others, hut our teachers are not
only competent but willing to do every
thing in their power to make their work
successful.
We are informed that the base bail
club of st. Augustine has challenged
Federal Point club to play game for
pleasure. They will probably play ut
MOccasin Branch sometime next month.
Its an old saying that 'therc.is nothing

Of the statement. The publishers of the
Times Union agreed to leave the matter
of dispute between themselves and their
employees TO arhitrators and when the
arbitrators We're to meet the Jones Bros.
appeared to represent tliemselves'. II
any of your reader ever heard of the like
action before, they will confer a favor
by stating the particulars. One thing Is
certain however under ordinary circum.
stances, your correspondent is decided
y opposed 10 strikes. The conflict be.
tween labor and capital is much trouble
and is simply bosh. Every laboring
man IL, thta country mn nuttnT how
poor or lowly he may be, is the master
Of himself and his own acts. Capital
does not own him but simply says to him.
we want your labor i'm exchange for cur
money. ii il is for your interest 70 give it,,
all right, if not. the laboring man is
at perfect liberty to 80 elsewhere and
engage In any occupation that may suit
him best These strikes 20 entirely too
far. They try to force an issue with cap
ital and compel capital to acceed to
their demands. Will leave their en-
ploycrs in body, and then by the use Of
brute force endeavor to prevent Others
from performing the labor that they have
refused to do themselves. If the tabor.
ing men were compelled to give their
time to certain corporations or business
industries. then they might have some
excuse for their combined action, but
no such excuse il given them. They are
at liberty to leave their situation at any
time and become employers themselves
IL they choose as this country places no
barriers to human advancement. And
the action of these strikers is pcrnacions,
not only for the general welfare but for
their own best interests. There is no
conflict between labor and capital, capi
tai is simply the result Of labor. Capital
and labor belong together-are simply
parts of one bod ly-eacl dependant on
the other, and any trumped up conflict
can but work immense harm to the ir-
terest of all concerned.

Tom Brown was always ia a fret
Because, somehow, he kept in debt,
Yet he imagined he was wise
And knew how to economize.
Although he nothing spent for sport,
He borrowed, and was always "short."
80, Tom,' his wife would say, "a man
Can't manage like woman can.
Do try me once, and soon you'll be
From horrid debts and worries Free"
Tom only laughed "No woman can
Finances handle like man."
At length his debts and worries grew
So big he knew not what to do.
Then he, in time to save his life,
Gave all his earnings to his wife.
t'Now, wife, he groaned, In woe complete
''See If you can both ends make meet.h
Bright years now passed. Tom freed from cart
Waxed fat upon his wife's good fare.
His debts were paid, and LAID away
Was something for rainy day.
What had Toms burden been in life
Was pleasure to his careful wife.
MORAL.
Mans forte is earning gold alone
In spending is his weakness shown.
A woman's forte by Nature meant
Is taking care OF every cent.
And he who lets his wife do this
win riches have and live in bliss.
