Some Cenundrums For Commission
 CT Wright'S Consideration.
 10 the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 In reading extracts from Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of the labor bureau, in your paper yesterday, we were struck with curiosity to know in what way he will point out for us to conduct cooperative manufacturing busi- ness, say like the New Haven Clock company, the Candee Ru ubber company or the carriage manufactories in New Haven such like any where. In the first place, how would the owners of capital like to put in their money and risk it? The operatives must ot course draw out daily for living expenses, and as they might feel when entering into business equals that larger sum should be allowed them for living expenses than what they had hereto fore received for wages, and in order to sat isfy and have things go along pleasantly, they must be allowed to draw it. Now, if at the end of the year on taking inventory it is found that instead of profit many thousands of dollars have been sunk, who is to stand and make up this loss? Mr. Wright may ex- plain how we can surround production and consumption and remedy the ''faulty distri- bution' and put everything into apple-pie order. We shall be glad to see it. But the nature of things-the supply and demand, both labor and labor products, will no doubt regulate prices for time to come as it always has, and the honest, sober, industrious and economical people will get along very well. Yet some will be rich and some poor.

NapoIeon the ThIrd,

Napoleon III" says Houssaye, '1ived in a perpetual dream. He was born to dwell in silence and solitude rather than in the din and splendor of the Tuileries. I have seen him at the Elysee and at St. Cloud seeking out a tree, and not man. On many days he never woke at all; he was 8 somnambu- list, and subject to Authorizations. This is why, when people stood in his presence, they asked of themselves if he was still there
 Often he appeared not to hear, because he an- swered not. But on the morrow he proved to you that he had heard distinctly. He thrust the cup from reality, even when the cup was not tinged with bitterness. He loved everything from afar. even woman kind When he was at table he ate heartily and drank tolerably, but without knowing whether the cooking was good or the wine of genuine stock. When he went to the Bois de Boulogne it always seemed as if he were there for the first time, so few faces did he recognize. He saluted not with his hand, but with his mind. Hence it was those about him often said: What can he be thinking ofs' His political enemies wrote that he only thought of betraying France. On the con trary, he only thought of making France great and invincible. He desired that every body should be rich and that the fowl in the pot spoken of by Henry ". should be 8 chimera no more. For the tyrant had a heart of gold. Fhe dread of reality, while it raised him in the eloudland of reverie, kept him away from truth. Therefore it was that after the celebrated Congress of Paris he committed none but capital errors. There fore it was that, having declared that the empire was peace, he waged war for the sake of others. He fancied himself still Carbo- naro when he made Italy nation. He was still believer in the strength of the Latin race when he wished to have an emperor
 crowned in Mexico. He did not perceive, so blind was he, that while he strove to govern the world he sacrificed France That ever lasting dreamer, who did not even awake at Sedan, was sort of ice-bound hell, paved with good intentions. He partook of De Saint Pierre's longing for perpetual peace. He gathered inspiration from all the reform CTS who planned the happiness of nations. He retained in his soul the generosity of na- tions. He retained in his soul the generos- ity of Queen Hortense, and of Josephine, his

Rheumatism

It is a,s established fact that Hoods Sar- sapariIa has proven an invaluable remedy in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect ing remarkable cures by it's powerful action in correcting the acidity of the blood, which is the cause of the disease, and purifying and enriching the vital fluid.
 It is certainly Jair to assume that what Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others it will do for you. Therefore, if you suffer the pains and aches of rheumatism, give this potent remedy fair trial.
 A Positive Cure.
 "I was troubled very much with Yheuma- tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. I could hardly walk, and was confined to my bed good deal of the time. Being rec commended to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, I took four bottles and am perfectly well. cheerfully recommend Hoods Sarsapari1la as one of the best blood purifiers in the world" ". F. WOOD, Bloomington. Ill.
 For Twenty Years
 Ihave been afflicted with rheumatism. isef5re 1883 found no relief, but grew worse. then began taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it did me more good than all the other medicine ever had" H. T. BALcoM, Shirley, Mass.
 ''I suffered from what the doctors called muscular rheumatism. took Hoods Sar- saparilla and am entirely cured" J. V. A. PRoUDFooT, letter carrier, Chicago, III.

LABoR-sAvING MACHINES.


 Some people are still hostile to labor-sav- ing machinery, believing that it is the foe and not the friend of those who toll with their hands. Carroll D. Wright in his last report says: It is true that in those coun- tries where machinery has been developed to the highest the greatest number of work people are engaged, and that in those coun- tries where machinery has been developed to little or no purpose, poverty reigns, ignor- ance is the prevailing condition, and civiliza- tion, consequently, far in the rear.
 Interesting facts bearing on this matter have recently been made public in England. They relate to the period between 1856 and 1868, which was marked by very important and labor-saving improvements in power looms. In the cotton industry during that period the number of power looms in use in- creased from 298, SAY to 379, ,329; but the number of operatives, 50 farfrom decreasing with these improvements in machinery, rose from 379,213 to 4s1 .064. In the woolen mills the number of power looms rose from 53,- 399 to 118,6 1885, and the number of employees from 166, ,SS5 to 253, ,056. In the flax and associated industries the increase in power looms was from S,689 to 35, 5,047, and that in the number employees was from 80, ,262 to 1855, ,333.
 The census statistics of this country are cited to show the similar results. Thus, between 1860 and 1870, the number of en- ployes in cotton and wooden factories rose from 1s1 $50 to 255, 1928, and the amount paid in wages advanced about one hundred per cent. From 1850 to 1870 the number of employees in general manufactures rose from 957, ,O59 to 2,053, ,996, and the payments for wages from $as6, 765, ,OO0 to $H5, 5s4, ,ooo.
 This is pretty good evidence that labor saving machinery is a benefit to the laborsr. But is is probably true, as Mir. Wright de- clarss, that the wage worker has not received his equitable share of the benefits derived from the introduction of such machinery.

A Bookkeeper's Experience.

The head bookkeeper of one of the large sewing machine manufacturing companies in this city refuses to believe in occult philoso- phy and is unable to account for an expert ence that he had some time ago. f'In bal aneing my books," he said yesterday, ''there appeared an error of five dollars, insignifi- cant enough in itself, but to bookkeeper as big as five hundred or five thousand dollars Having five assistants, I set one of them at work to find the mistake. He failed to dis cover it and after three days I put another man on its track, then third, fourth, and at last after week, fifth. They were all capable men and searched diligently for the missing five dollars, but were unable to find it. They worked together all the next week but accomplished nothing. The figures stood ss before, five dollars out of balance, and then set to work myself. Night and day we poured over the big books, but still discovered no change. The matter began to annoy me exceedingly, for never before had 1 known such experience.
 "For a whole week the six of us toiled in vain. l could not sleep for thinking of the error, which now seemed as big as noun tain on my shoulders. I did not enjoy my meals, and when Saturday night came was and mind. My employers insisted upon my dropping the matter. It was too small, they said, to worry over. But I thought differ ently. My reputation was at stake.
 "On the third Sunday after the search was begun got up late after 8 sleepless night and started out walking for exercise. Mvi mind was on my books and I paid atten- ton to the direction I took. My surprise, therefore, was genuine when found myself at the door of the company's office in Union Square, for certainly had not intended to go there. Mechanically put my hand in door and went in. As if in 8 dream I walked directly to the office, where I turned tho combination and unlocked the safe. There were the books, a dozen of them in row. I did not consider for one moment which to pick up. It was by no act of voli- tion on my part that my hand moved to- wards certain one and drew it toward the safe. Placing it on the desk opened it, my eye ran along the column of figures, and there before me, plain as day, was the miss ing five dollars. I made note of the page, put the book back into the safe and went home. It was then noon. l lay down and fell into deep sleep, from which l did not wake until nine o'clock Monday morning. After hearty breakfast I hastsned to the office feeling like new man. It seemed as if burden had fallen upon me and I was walking upon air. But when I reached the door I drew back. Had 1 been dreaming. No. There was the memorandum in my hand. Tremblingly I opened the book and sure enough there was the error. l never told how found it. did not want to be laughed at, and then I was certain that was not dreaming on that Sunday morning."

Chief Arthur, chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, agrees with those sentiments. He says: "Our order is opposed to strikes. We believe that arbitra tion and peaceful methods will accomplish all that can be asked if our cause is a just and right one. The strike is the last and desperate resort" These men are much safer to follow than some of those who claim to be leaders in the labor movement.

More Light Needed.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I wish to call the attention of the public to the poorly lighted condition of the upper part of St. John street. After you leave the glare of the electric light on the junction of St. John and Grand streets in passing down to St. John street from Artisan, you are al most in darkness.
 It was on this block that the burglars who robbed MT. Lehr's store, found suit able placs to carry off $500 worth of goods. We need light badly in this location. Since the electric light placed oD the junction the gaslight on the corner of St. John and Artisan has been done away with, consequently there is no light for that entire block. Dark blocks are danger ous resorts at night for evil doers and should bs lighted GEORGE w. COOPER.

Consumption
 Conquered {!
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, 32 Hswley Street,
 Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoont.d of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold I fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DIR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON. SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A copy of Dr. Flower's Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.
