M AND OPINION.

LABOR will always be governed by laws
of supply and demand. Willing labor will
pay best to employers. and hence intelli-
gent labor will bring the best price. The
labor problem with laborers is one of edu-
catiOn.-New York Graphic.
To have a President worthy of this great
Nation and this great people Is the instinct
I've prayer OF every patriotic heart, and
have obtained such a chief magistrate In
Benjamin Observation-Disclosures Wiscon-
sin. :
THERE will be no specifically Southern
policy adopted by the new administration.
All regions will be treated alike so long as
they obey the laws. President Harrison.
will be chief magistrate of the whole Ma
ton, and not of any particular section of
lt.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
WHETHER it is due to the character of
our politics or to the unwieldy size and
methods of the lower branch. it seems to be
the fact that the one class of legislation
which the late body could handle was that
composed of private jobs and petty special
pension bllls.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
PRESIDENT HARRISON is distinctly in
favor of a permanent civil service. He
does not believe, nobody believes, that the
entire service is now of such a character as
to make permanency desirable. He implies
that removals will be as few as possible,
with the end of improving the service in
view.-Milwaukee Sentinel.
RIDDLEBERGER, it is more than probable,
is politically dead. Among his other mis-
fortunes is the fact that he is irreparably
estranged from Malone, which will con-
tribute to his permanent undOing. 1t will
be hoped, by patriotic citizens of all parties,
that his like may never again be seen in
the United States Senate.-Brooklyn Eagle.
A REMARKABLE thing is that there are
in the Southern States in
which Mormon preachers and procurers
will ha rnrppitfad en- A,nrata D11--o-,.~
like slavery, a relic of barbarism. and we
do not observe that the Mormonism as
preached in the South is any other thar the
polygamOus kind.-Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.
IT is not expected that the public will
Harrison's administration in advance. The
leaf OF its history remains TO be written.
But 1T can be assumed that it will be
marked by pure motives, by patriotic pur-
poses, and by a sincere and honest desire
to benefit the whole country.-lowa State
Journal.
The country expects from President Har-
rison a moderate, yet Vigorous conser-
vatlye, yet progressive, and a patriotic adj
ministration. If he shall fulfil the hopes
now conferred in him, the country will de-
stand in his way for the Republican nomi-
nation, nor before the people at the ballot
box.-Chicago Journal.
THE claim which the Democratic papers
are putting forward, that the adoption of
the resolution favoring reciprocity with
Canada is virtually a free-trade victory, is
ridiculous: AS reciprocity is to become eff
fective only when the Canadian tariff has
been assimilated to our own, the proposed
change might not unfairly be called a pro-
lection victory instead. But it is to be
hoped that the question of a commercial
union with Canada can be discussed for q
time, at least, without being dragged into
our partisan politics.-Boston Journal.
