CONTENTED LABOR.

The gay flag decorations on the Ave

i've story. 1t was merry making of
the conductors and drivers over the re-
duced hours of labor. The reduction
had not come through strike, but
through the. voluntary action of the
directors. The boys will work but
twelve hours hereafter instead of six
teen as before. The public will have
better service, the company will have
an easier task in managing its force,
and the men and their families will
have happier lives and all through the
exercise of little common sense and

Surely the millennium is on the way.
1t will be very near when employers
everywhere shall learn that contract
labor is cheap at any price, and that
dissatisfied labor is dear to them, as well
as dangerous to society.
The CRITIC has received the follow.
ing dispatch:
ToLoNo, ILL, April 30.
TO he Editor Of The Critic:
The dispatches to the press throughout
the country In regard to Counsel Fay are
erroneous. The Democrats and Republl.
cans alike are highly pleased with Mr.. Fay's
appointment. The dispatch originated
from our ex-postmaster, who was bounced
through the Influence of Mr.. Fay, where
fore the opposition to our popular druggist.
In regard to the indictment, contradictory
dispatch from the clerk of the Circuit Court
appears in the Chicago Times of the 2Jth.
JOHN CoLvIN,
A. LOEB,
THOMAS ALLEN.
We don't know who Counsel Fay"
is, but we are pleased to learn that the
dispatches about him are erroneous.
We never like to see good man
downed, and If the press Of the country
is jumping on the wrong man, some
body ought TO stop the press, that's all.
Nor Is the fact of our not knowing
Counsel Fay" to be charged as dis
creditable to him. Tolono knows him
and Tolono loves him, irrespective of
party or previous condition, so what
boots ~ Whut thC oliuhSCI tuiuho9 we
are also glad to learn that the political
parties in Tolono have united on Mr..
Fay; 1t will do much to allay the dis
affection the late lamented Mr.. Davis
is now agitating in the South. We need
harmony, and if Mr.. Fay can secure it.
we are in favor of his bouncing every
offensive postmaster in the country
and hanging every one of them who
originates dispatches against Bro. Fay.
In regard to the indictment, we arc
sorry that it has been denied in the
Chicago Times. We haven't that con-
fidence in the Chicago Times that we
have in the Christian at Work, the
ChRrchman or the Sunday- -Sch00,
Times, and we may have to call for
atfldavits, but we shall not do so unless
our Chicago contemporary denies the
allegations against Mr.. Fay, editorially.
In the meantime we are under obliga.
tion to the signers of the dispatch sent
MS, and If we ever come to Tolono we
will board 1t out with them. Au rec0ir,

THE PARIS Salon opens to-day and
naturally reminds the lovers of art that
the proscriptiye duty on the works of
foreigners in that line remains un.
repealed. That duty ought to go. But
If anyone wanted to entertain feeling
Of resentment in such matter ground
for it could be easily found. The New
York sIrilUne's Paris correspondent
has been interviewing the managers
of the Salon, All of them, naturally,
are down on the absurd duty imposed
by this country on works of art i'm
ported from abroad. At the same
time nearly every one of them admits
that their action in regard TO the
works of Americans presented for ad-
mission to the Salon has been preju.
diced because of our tariff laws, which
is neither brave nor just method of
retaliation.

Mr.. DAVIS has as clear right to
make Confederate speeches as General
Sherman has to glorify the cause of the
Union. 1t is not so much question
of right as of taste. There was one
illustrious son of the South, first in
war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen, who, If he
were living to-day, would very mate
rally differ with Mr.. Davis on this
question. We allude to Robert Il. Lee
