Another great strike involving 5000
weavers with their families has just been
ordered at Fall River. Strikes, as means
OF procuring increased wages, have rarely
accomplished their purpose and have
undoubtedly injured those they were
intended to benefit. Organized labor
is entitled to the amplest protection,
but after all individual industry, hon
esty, frugality, reasonable content
ment and desire 10 accumulate, all work
together for the best good of society as
well as the Individual. Every man who
works for another, if he be sober and
intelligent employee, hopes some day
to have others work for him. Today
the employee, tomorrow he may be the
employer. This is the condition in
America, and hence here 1t is that the
laboring man in any avocation or pur-
suit has a future if he but avalls him
self of the means to work 1t out. l
know" says Henry Lambert in a
thoughtful and earnest letter to the Bos-
ton transcript, "a laboring man who
can neither read nor write, whose wages
for many years were but one dollar a
day, and now are but dollar and
three-quarters, who has raised family
of five children, and, although he has
lost by i'll fortune some hundreds OF
dollars, now owns a good house and
barn, six or seven acres of land, several
adiunCts of small farm. This shows
what industry, frugality and temperance
can accomplish, with even scant lntelIl-
genCe, moderate wages, and without
any aid from unions or associations.
Increased wages will do little to eman-
cipate labor, unless attended by the
frugality that avoids needless expendi-
ture and saves what it can. He who
spends all he earns will be no better off
at the year end, no matter what wages
he receives. He who saves has fund
to help him in times of dizziness, sick
ness or misfortune, and is laying the
foundation of an accumulation that may
rank him some day among capitalists
and make him the employer of others.
The habit of saving from very small
beginnings has, IN many noted lnStan,
ces, laid the foundation OF large for
tunes, and it cannot be too strongly
urged upon every wage Garner that the
saving of wages IS much surer way to
rise IN the world than the getting OF
higher wages. The fundamental point
in the career of every man is to begin
by making the most of himself, for thus
he becomes more valuable to society,
and worthy to receive its higher re-
wards. With intelligence, honesty, in
dustry, frugality, he will be well pre-
pared to make the most of life's oppor-
tunlties, and will rise in the social scale
TO such measure of equality as he is
fitted to attain"

"The Washington hotel-keepers say

The neonle of Neu Hamnsl

The people of New Hampshire, on
Tuesday voted upon several amend
ments to their State Constitution, among
them one prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of liquor, and another striking
the word protestant" from the Bill OF
Rights. The prohibitory amendment
was defeated by majority (which may
reach two thirds of the total vote The
fate of the non-sectarian amendment is
in doubt, but it is believed that it, as
we'll as the other amendments, were
carried.

The fiftieth Congress which adjourned

ing consumed in its two sessions nearly
thirteen months. During that time q
$50 bills and 265 joint resolutions were
presented to the House, being nearly

Forty-ninth Congress. In the Senate

preceding Congress
OF this vast mass of bills and resolu-

Whatever may be said for or against

Whatever may be said for or against
the Irish people, there is certainly one
respect in which they may challenge
the admiration of the world, namely, in
matrimonial fidelity. In the recently
issued tables giving statistics on the
subject of divorce, after finding that
our own country leads In having granted
nearly half million divorces during the
twenty years past, l turn to the record
of foreign lands to find that the Euro
pean nations are coming into COMPETE

"Ireland," | see that there have been
II divorces throughout the length and
breadth of Erin. Protestant or Catho-
lie, in happiness or abuse, the Irish con-
tinue the partnership until it is dis
solved by death.-BOSton IraUeLe,.

The Supreme Court of West Virginia
on Tuesday last decided, in the Golf
Wilson Gubernatorial mandamus case,
that Governor Wilson is entitled to hold
over until such time as the contest be-
tween Fleming and Golf shall have
been settled !; or, in other words, Golf
is not entitled to the seat, on the ground
that the returns were not declared by
the Legislature. The fight will now be

NEW HAmPSHIRE GOES VET.



Novel Election.
BOSTON. March - % lly partial re
turns from the New Hampshire elec ion
are received, but the seems little dnubi
that tue constitution al prohibition amend
ment has been defeated b. decided ma
iority. o. the cities. Nashua appears the
only one voting in vor OF the amend
ment, giving it 202 majority. Carroll
and Coos counties are the only ones that
show indications of having favored the
amendment, although Grafton county
may show small majority, but not the
necessary two-thirds. There is little
doubt of the adoption of the other pro-
posed amendments. except the one which
provides for the striking from the bill OF
rights of the word Protestant" there
by making the constitution non seciarian.
The fate of this amendment cannot yet
be learned. as the returns are very
meagre. The prohibitory amendment
was the most important issue, and com
paratively little interest was manifested
throughout the state on the other amend
ments. In Nashua and other cities, Wig
urous efforts were made by the women,
who stood all day soliciting votes and
aiding the temperance movement in
every possible way. Returns from sixty
cities and towns give ma ority oi D, 524
Indications are now that tie prohibItory
amendment will be defeated by nearly
5000 votes, and all others adopted.

The Hon. Henry w. billiard, of At
lanta, Ca, was WING presidential cleo
tor in Alabama in the campaign OF 1870,
and was appointed minister to Belgium

He regards the President as man of
fine abilities and of the highest charac-
tiers, and predicts that he "will give to
the country the most peaceful and pros
porous administration which it has ever
enjoyed" MIR. billiard was asked if
he had any idea of re-entering the pub
lie service, and stated frankly that he
had no anticipation or desire to do SO.
