CRITICULAR.

A lady sends I'm the following query;
Is love, then, that ETHEREAL thing
Which painters paint and poets singp
Which lifts the loved one from the sod
Into the atmosphere Of God
Which knows no unforgiving frown,
Aud on each fault sets virtues crown2
Which hears no words save: "Be thou mineln
SO sweetly answered. "l ain thine"
To which we reply;
NOT HARDLY.
Perhaps in the old days this was so;
Perhaps in the old days we don't know;
But in these days it's n different thing
The painters paint and the poets sing.
In fact, we may say--whercat We must Sob
The painter and poet are out Of job,
And Love comes on in another way
From the simple style of that ancient day.
There's plenty of love, but it's less intense,
And IL builds its hopes on dollars and cents;
IL wants a roof that will shelter Its head,
And Cupid must wear some clothes instead
or the airy way that the pictures show,
With pair of wings and q summer bow.
In calculating the daily bliss,
Three good square meals are not amiss
For an empty stomach and Love won't gee
In securing domestic felicitee.
Love is intangible and Love is fair,
But Love is not built to live on air.
Material things go good long way
Towards making a Love Investment pay;
And the man or the woman who would be
ruled
BY common sense is like to be fooled;
And fooled SO sadly in their double bout
That poor little Love Is knocked clean out.
But Love lives ever In the poets song
The man and the woman IL is who are wrong.
Boulanger is considered by the Government
authorities as the boss White Cap OF France.
In announcing the death OF the Crown
Prince of Austria the dispatches say; "The

Secretary, now sets up as a war prophet.
lie looks into the closets of Empires and
secs all the skeletons From the recent
success of Boulanger there is to result a
French revolution-perhaps not transit
from the Republic to the Empire, but
an uprising of popular enthusiasm for the
recovery of Alsace and Lorraine. The
German complications elsewhere seem to
invite French aggression and inspire the
hope of vengeance 1t Is so like the
French to wear red cap to-day and a
white one tomorrow that fluctuations in
the fortunes OF Boulanger are not at all
phenomenal. Only few months ago in
all quarters Of Paris he was roundly
abused and, in American parlance, prac-
tically "downed," while to-day he is
floating at the very top, and the eyes Of
all nations are upon him. The signifi-
canoe of his election to the Chambers is
not so much in the direction of change in
governmental form as it is in a unified
war spirit. One of the possibilities of
this event Is his succession to the
Presidency, satisfying reflection
for all Frenchmen who are sore over the
mutilations of the French territory on
the Rhine border. What may come af-
ter the presidency of this old "war
horse" is not now matter for contem-
plation. 1t is not In French nature to
look so far ahead. and it is very fatiguing
to think. They only see trouble with
Africa, at outs with Russia and blunder-
ing at Samoa, and they remember the
siege of Paris, when Parisians starved
while they sang in the streets.

POWDERLY'S WISDOM.

Chief PowDERLT is getting wisdom, and
is proving that as head of the great organi-
cation of workingmen known as Knights of
Labor he is the right man in the right
place. The other day he said: fright
here let me say to you that the man who
now hints at deeds of violence as a remedy
is traitor to the state That doctrine
cannot be too deeply impressed on the
minds of workingmen. AS a rule it
is bad to strike, the circuIB stances
in not one instance out of a
dozen, iustifyiug that method of adjusting
a dispute. The striker almost invariably
gets the worst of it when he engages in the
controversy, and if he gains the point he
loses financially, for the money thrown
away to maintain the strike is more than
he can recover in months or perhaps years,
even if the employer yields to his demands.
But when violence is employed no good is
done to anybody, and the striker always
suffers most. This is a free country and
the laws are equal to all while public SYM
pathy is ever on the side of the poor and
the oppressed, hence the workingman does
badly for himself when he turns laNle
dliu ICSOItS W klbiCHSC W DOiIG, VI
to correct what he may regard as an inius-
tice. He alienates the popular sympathy
which is his support in contests with grind
ing taskmasters, and turns against himself
the laws enacted for his protection.
Mr.. PowDERLY has been long enough the |
active head of the Knights to see the folly |
of attempting to correct an evil by violence, |
and if he can have his way future strikes
will be lawful at least. Now, if the gentle
man will get it into his head that strikes |
are bad, and will impress the fact upon the |
members of the great labor organization of |
which he is the head, he will do good ser
vice for the workingmen of this country. |
When laboring men learn that they suffer |
most through strikes, and that it is unwise |
to quit one job until they have another and |
equally good one secured, they will be hap
pier and much more prosperous.

A GOOD SCHEME.

Millionaire CARNEGIE, the iron manu-
facturer, it is said is arranging plan for
the employment of negro labor in his mills
in the place of the white labor with which
ne has had so much trouble He thinks
the blacks, being ignorant, will be more
easily controlled, and also that they can be
induced to work for less wages than white
men require. Negroes are not given TO
strikes, and they are accustomed to bosses,
and not disposed to assert their "indepen-
dencen and equality" 1t is to be hoped
that the experiment will be tried, and if it
succeeds, 1t will result beneficially in two
directions. first, in the employment of
the blacks to the exclusion of malcontent
foreigners who are eternally breeding
trouble and strife, and, second, in the set
Element of the race problem at the south.
In the south the negroes are and must re-
main the source of much social and politi-
cal annoyance. They are the ignorant tools
of northern politicians who use them to
annoy and distress the white people of the
south who cannot find it in their compost
ton to admit the black to a social or intel
lectual equality with them. 1t would be
fa,. better for the south if the blacks were
to remove generally or in such num-
bers that those who remained would
not be disturbing element. Their
places would then be speedily
filed by white laborcrs who would be less
Objectionable and who would better assimi-
late socially and politically with the white
residents. The large infusion Of negro
laborers into the northern states could
cause no disturbance whatever, the BLACK,
when he crosses the Mason and Dixon line,
becoming a different man from when he was
Ia the south, and at once drifting to his
level. socially and politically
The well-wishers of the blacks will earn
estly desire that Mr. CARNEGIE will go
ahead with his experiment and if he shall |
succeed other large employers may follow |
his example with excellent results.

SUNDAY IN CINCINNATI.

The whisky dealers of Cincinnati having
been required to close business on the first
day of the week, last Sunday combined and
compelled the officers to enforce the Sun
day closing law against BARRIERS, butchers,
confectioners, bakers, bootblacks and
others, and it was even suggested that an
attempt be made to close the churches, or
at least to prohibit the taking up of collec-
tons. The saloon-keepers think they have
done great thing, and claim to believe
that by pursuing the course they have
taken they will compel the officials to be
less strict in their enforcement of the law,
the BARRIERS, bakers and so on joining with
the whisky men in protesting against the
zeal which has suddenly transformed Gin
cinnati into a quiet and ''moral'' city on
Sunday. The salOonists make mistake, if
the people of Cincinnati are in real earnest
in their desire for Christian Sunday. 1t
isn't necessary for butchers and BARRIERS
