Mr.. Enloe's revolution in the
House to investigate Mr.. Wheat, the
Republican postmaster Of the House
has created quite a sensation. Mr..
Wheat it seems to have given out
the contract for wagons to deliver
the house mail at S., 900 a year to a
contractor in Washington and made
a private agreement with the con-
tractor that he should return $3.50 a
month of this amount. The $50
mas been returned each month and
Wheat has put it in his own pocket,
it being understood between him
and the contractor that Wheat
should get this amount as a perquis-
lite. The contract being very fat
one, the contractor was willing to
return this amount out of his profits.
The matter leaked out a few days
ago, and wheat to escape punish
ment, at once returned the amount
he had received to the clerk of the
House. However he will be inves-
tigated and though he has repaid the
money, the chances are that he will
be turned out. 1t will however not
be done uutil after the election.

The South needs more skilled la
Dor for its factories than can be
readily obtained, and Southern man
ufacturers should do all in their
power to educate the labor they
have to higher standard. When
a new cotton factory is put into op-
Grafton in New England, the man
agement only has to advertise for ed
ucated mill labor, and the factory is
Overwhelming with applications for
positions. On the contrary, in the
South new mill finds it very diff
cult to obtain skilled labor, and u.s.
ually has to entice the laborers from
some other mill. This scarcity of
skilled labor initiates more strongly
against industrial growth than any
thing else, and should be eliminated
as soon as possible. The States
should establish training schools in
every manufacturing center and
then should try to educate their la
borers to a higher degree of skill.
1t is well known that contact with
highly skilled labor educate the un-
skilled, so it would be wise and
tar-seeing plan for manufacturers
to bring highly and skilled laborers
from the North to their factories,
even if they had to pay very high
wage, so that the ordinary labor
Of the mill of furnace could come in
contact with them. Another plan,
which might accomplish good results
would be to inaugurate a system of
prizes for the laborer who, within a
given time, became most highly
competent. Our labor is gradually
becoming more highly educated, but
the growth Of oar industries is far
outstripping the advance in occupa-
ton of our labor, and unless more
active measures be employed in the
future than now exist tor the fur
therance of this object, the South
may find that it has hundreds OF fac
tories some and in running order,
but no skilled labor to run them.

A finger nail led to the discovery
