PARALYSIS AND ITS CAUSES.

The May strikes in Boston have had
the effect of suspending business in
vestments in that city aggregating 81
100000. we arc told. Several millions
that would otherwise have been in
vested in Washington have been di-
verted elsewhere through the same
cause. Wherever there has been n
protracted strike this season loss has
resulted, not only to employer and
employe but to the general community,
and the aggregate loss has been Sc
riously great. II will require many
months, even under the best Of circum-
stances, to make It good.
What is not expended is not lost, it
Is true. Wages that are not made are
not lost There is just rs much money
in the world as though the tide of in
dustry had coursed along uninterrupt.
edly; but there are still the great,
gaunt facts before us that idle capital
and idle labor imply idle trade and
"hard times" Capital that is barred
from its legitimate uses and driven out
of the various channels of distribution
is of no more value to the community
than any other inanimate and unpro.
ductive thing. The gold In the miser
stocking is to all practical intents aud
energizing purposes as worthless as a
stocking full of stones As for idle
labor, 1t is worse Sooner or later it
must eat itself up. Inertness, more
than sleep, is the counterpart Of
death.
There is no principle involved in
what is popularity known as the Labor
question which admits of permanent
and satisfactory vindication by re.
fusal to earn wages. The man who
stints his stomach to spite his cup
board Is in danger of starvation. In
tests Of endurance the employer Is now
and then compelled to surrender to the
demands Of his striking workmen, but
it is more often the employe who is
forced to surrender. Both are sufferers
in such contentious, and the paralysis
that grows out of these unnatural aud
unwholesome conditions extends to the
whole body polite.
Nobody is bewailing loss in the
literal sense of the term, but in its
common acceptation. Merchants, ho-
tel-keepers, marketmen, farm pro-
ducers, mechanics, artisans, laborers-
everybody in fact-are feeling what
may possibly be better understood rs a
shortage of circulation. The arteries
of commerce are drying up. That S
what's the matter. That S the result to
great extent of an agitation which its
projectors hoped would prove sudden
and sweeping revolution, falling to un.
derstand so well as they do now, and
as the knights of Labor at Cleveland
understand, that all industrial and
economic reforms must be of gradual
accomplishment and slow growth.
1t is the duty of all good citizens
now to unite upon the common plat.
form of the public good; the duty oil
Congress to legislate for the general
welfare, 1t is only by such Legislation
that the interests of particular classes
can best be subserved. The remedy
is not to be found in special prescrip
tions, but in tonics that will build W
the whole system.

Mr.. Middleton dealer in green turf le
says they are taken in nets in the southern
waters by men who make business Of
catching them, and they are also captured
on the beaches as they come up out of the
water to deposit their eggs. This firm
keeps them through the winter in storage
rooms well warmed and fitted with
troughs filled with sea water. They are
fed with watermelon rinds, cabbage leaves
and other green stuff, and they grow fat
in the confinement. They may be thus
kept as long as required.
They are very sensitive to cold weather
and will freeze as quickly, if exposed, AS
would man. The flesh in appearance
resembles beef. Steaks are cut from the
shoulders, but all the rest, even to the
she'll and tlippers, goes into the soup ket-
tie. They do not bite nor snap like their
congener the swapping turtle. The shells
are of no value for making combs or orna-
