THE SCARCITY of skilled native American
work nisincreasing and sois the complaint
about unskllful work. 1t is said that among
the hardest things to find in this country
now is skillful jcurneyman tailor OF
American birth. All this is due to the
practical abolition of tho apprentice system.
by means Of which in former times Ameri
can workmen gained the we'll melitei repa'
taton of being the most inventive and skill!
full in the world. In view the high wages
really skilled American "orkmen Can al
ways command, why the condition referred
to should go on from bad to worse as it is
now doing, is hard TO tell.

Dor in that city have determined to ignore
Chic! Pomderly's circular imposing an extra
assessment upon every member Of his order.
Nothing could be more natural. Many OF

these things, it is not at all strange that the

CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, Aug. 12-The
Chautauqua Baptist circle met in the am
phitheater this afternoon and was addressed
by Rev. P. S. Henson, D. D.. of Chicago
on "Our Government, or the People Who
Govern U.s." He spoke at length in very
interesting humorous and forcible manner
on the family government exercised by
children.
He said that young America should initiate
young Aneas. II the young city of the Poto-
mac were to become great as the old CITY
by the Tlber. The lecturer also spoke of the
tyranny of Bridget but appealed to the peo-
pie to give her better chance. Woman he
SAID was tyrant. Another tyrant was my
lord the editor. ''There are no kings around
besides him. said the lecturer. HE yields
sceptre more powerful than that of the
car. Nothing scares him. The printing
press with its firm arm of power holds com
1uumtles from running riot Capital when in
solent and arrogant is an lnsutferable tyrant
VINO speaks of men as his hands. AS the out
come OF the labor war there may come some
limit to the acquiring Of colossal fortunes -
the lecturer also spoke of the knights of
Labor. He said: "a true knight of Labor
is true gentleman. Christ was Il true Knight
OF Labor" He objected to tyranny over
either capital or labor. No man ever won
distinction who did not work over eight hours
day. Limitations should be lifted from
labor We will have no more frothing, no red
Or black flags at Chicago. We will have no
flags but the stars and stripes. The whisky
boss is another dangerous tyrant

all railroads is SIS, SIT, 697, S32. The earn
ings of all roads equalled $772. SOS, 1888.
against S77o, 6S4 90S for 1885. The intro
duction says the past year undoubtedly
marks point of lower depression in the
earnings of railroads in ratio to their cost
and mileage than is likely to be witnessed
for some years to come. the present year
showing a considerable Improvement upon
the past. The Illinois Central railroad
