Labor. supply and Demand.

In the economy of human events il is a
wise provision that the control of field
of labor is contingent upon the supply of
labor for that particular field. The sup
ply Of ear drivers in city like New York
is practically unlimited and hence the
failure of their strike could be only
question Of tina. In any strike the
practical affair is not whether the de.
mands Of the strikers are just, but
whether other workmen may be had to

NEWSPAPER OPINION.

The vindication Of Secretary Bayardis
course with respect to the Samoan
troubles finds support in unexpected
quarters. IL it be true that Prince Bis
marck declared in the Reichstag recently
that in the German policy in Samoa the
Marquis Of Salisbury was in accord with
him, it is now certain that the
EGglish journals of all shades
Of political opinion are not only
not in agreement with Lord Sails

taken the American view of the question.
Even the London Standard, which is a
leading supporter of the Salisbury gov
eminent and usually takes its tone
from that foreign office, sus.
tains the American position, and
expressed itself adverse to the German
policy in Samoa. Other English journals
strongly eriticise the obvious leaning Of
Lord Salisbury toward Germany. both in
Samoa and in East Africa II is not i'm
probable that this agreement, in English
public opinion may have led
Prince Bismarck to anticipate
the last telegram from Secretary
Bayard to Minister Pendleton protesting
against the declaration of martial law in
Samoa by preeitate disavowal Of the
of the act of the German military officer,
