The United States labor commissioner
says that the strikes that have occurred in
tins country within the past four years have
resulted in loss of $G0,O00,000. A very
large proportion of them have utterly failed
TO accomplish their object, and very large
part of the loss has fallen directly upon the
laboring men of the country, tho very ones
who could least afford it. 1t is as plain as
pikestaff and has been demonstrated time
after time that strike is the very worst
method which can be adopted by working
men for the redress of real or fancied griev-
ancies. And yet thousands of employees
hold themselves in readiness to quit work at
the word of some blatherskite who has fastened
himself upon some labor organization and
whose word they regard as law. Labor
organizations are all right in their place, but
when controlled by men who care more for
a little display of power and little notoriety
than they do for the good of the laboring
men, they are all wrong. The man who
surrenders his Judgment and free will to any
man or set of men, no matter by what high
sounding titles they may be hailed, ceases to
be free man and becomes a slave.

MANY a man and woman will begiL this
year, as they have begun other years, full of
good resolutions; full of determination to
lead better lives than heretofore and to aban-
don evil practices and bad habits; and many
will fail TO keep such resolutions, Just as
they have done before. But don't let re-
peated failure discourage you. You will
never make progress without trial, and every
trial made by poor, fallible human nature
Iaust partake of failure in a greater or less
degree. Keep right on resolving and trying,
not only at the beginning of the year. but
continually, every day of your life. You will
never attain your ideal, you will never
become perfect, at least not IL this world
but you will be better. nobler and purer for
having made an effort in the right direction

IHERE must have been demand for the
enactment of local option law in this state,
if the wonderful prohibition majorities that
have been given in the counties where a vote
has been taken on the question. can be con-
sidered as an indication OF the wishes of the
people. We know that the Detroit Free
Press. the leading democratic journal OF the
state, opposed local option by counties and
secuted the idea that the people desired the
enactment of any such statute; but the en-
phatic endorsement the law has received in
so far as it has been submitted to vote of
the people, outweighs all tho arguments that
the Free Press adduced against the measure.
Ten counties have held elections under the
provisions of the local option law, and each
of them have determined tina" the saloon

of practical prohibition under the provisions
OF the new statute.

The will Of the party, believe, has been

new and grand mission. For twenty years
our party was in the valley Of the shadow
of defeat and disaster, but in 1884 these
principles triumphed, and all over the

the great man who sits as President of the
United States, and Tennessee will fol-
