"The Labor Question"

1t is the unwillingness of the wage
Garner, and even of the capitalists often,
to recognize the length and breadth o.
this labor question, which is to-day com
pelling the workpeople in Europe and
America to try to meet the issue by an
tagonistic action, when the only way out
of it is through large cooperation
between producing nations, in which the
principle of live and let live" is openly
followed. This point is brought out in
the comments of the English press on
the proposed labor commission for Great
Britain. 1t is not legislation so much as
proper knowledge of the conditions of
each industry, and especially of the stu
alton of the same industry in different
countries, which determines what is best
to do. For this reason, none of the Eng
fish papers expect much directly from the
appointment of a labor commission. Its
chief value will be that it will give
fresh study of the facts, and that it will
bring the leaders of business and of in
dustry together to discuss practical ques-
lions, so as to find out the truth about
them, and to frame methods of action
which will tide over existing difficulties
without legislation.
What is wanted is intelligence on both
sides, the willingness to accept the eco
nomic truth as fundamental and reg
ulative principle. The demands of
large proportion of the wage earners at
the present time would ultimately wreck
and ruin the business corporation or
house which should grant them. 1t is
not so much the unwillingness to yield
as the impossibility of yielding and con-
tinuing in business which weighs upon
employers of labor. The present in
dustrial movement is advancing to the
point where both parties must accept the
truth as it exists, the truth for the labor
ing man, and the truth for the capitalist,
not compromise, not one party taking
advantage of another, not legislation
binding both parties where they need to
be free, but the truth of the whole situa-
ton as it affects industries in general and
the economic and commercial principles
on which our modern life is based. The
English labor commission, if it should
work in this spirit, will accomplish some
thing worth while, and in this country,
where such commission seems impos-
sible, we must work our way out through
discussion and experiment until both
parties are prepared to take broader
views, and each is willing to see the sit
uation from the point of view of the
other.-- Boston Herald.

Down the quaint old t. wn Of Maryland.

Twas beautiful eve of blue June day
In his tattered cap and jacket of gray;
You smiled, but you pressed the sun-brown
hand
OF the sorry little lad in Stonewall's band.
Georgia girl, with the hanging hair
or russell and gold in the shutdown air,
Don't you mind that rose from the borderland
That you gave to the lad in Stonewall's band2
Twas q white rose, white as rose could be,
And you stood meath the leaves of maple
tree,
A queen all crowned. Twas a beautiful thing,
And the lad on the chestnut horse was king.
o Georgia girl, with the tripping feet,
Don't you mind that house on the great big
street,
And the ball that night, and the banner-decked
hill2
For bold old rebel was DR.. McGill

And the storm-black eyes, and the red-gold

And smile, ah smile like the noontime sun,

o Georgia girl twas a sweet farewell
To exchange for the burst of shot and shell
At Gettysburg. But the gold-red hair,
And the eyes and the smile with the rose went
there.
Safe under the stars of that flaming cross,
But the bullets made merry with the chestnut
horse.
o, Georgia girl, tits long time ago;
Still the seasons come and the roses blow.
There's the white, white rose, and the rose
+ that is grand,
But none like the rose from the borderland.
"Tis long time ago. All sad are the years,
And broken the lutte that was swept in tears;
Shattered the spear and crumbled with rust;
Tired are the feet with the battle-dust
But the white whiterose the dews still unfurl

When Before the Camera.

If you are short and stout don't ask
the poor artist to make picture of you
full length. He will if you insist, but
he knows he is doing great wrong
thereby. Nothing is SO graceful and
pleasing in a picture of a stout lady as
sitting half length, the figure so turned
Us to hide the too too stoutness. Again.
if you are slim and angular, do not for
I'M instant forget that a full length will
make you appear more slim and angular.
Then the pretty bust picture is your only
hope, and you should insist on having
none other. If a gentleman has a very
long neck, no matter how nicely he looks
in high collar, his picture-if taken in
such high affair-would look grotesque.
A short neck and high collar, long
neck and low turned down collar by all
means. No loud stripes, no great checks,
no striking figures should be worn in q
photograph. One thing bear in mind
when you visit the studio-bring along
your home expression. Don't spend two
days before you come to the studio prac-
ticing poses and different expressions be-
fore your mirror; and, lastly, give the
photographer the benefit of exercising
his artistic and professional ability

High Water.

The latest reports indicate that the
water this season will be very high. per-
haps higher than last year. The levees
in many places have not been completed,
and are so weak that they cannot stand
the pressure. The rivers that give the
largest volume of water to this section
are rising very rapidly. which will give
us the water here very soon. The parish
would suffer much less il there was no
levees or il they were left open. as the
water wOuld spread gradually in the
early spring and retire early enough to
allow the planters to make good crops.
but with levees the water is held back
until late in the season when they give
way, as is generally the case. and flood
the low lands rapidly, hardly giving
time to the inhabitants Of those sections
to save their stock.
The levees should be built in a manner
as to be dependent upon for protection
or should be abandoned. Those who are
burdened with heavy levee taxes are not
at all protected, their money Is wasted
building levees that offer no protection
70 those who are in need Of them. Ii the
water keeps Oh rising, We will overflow
this year the same as We DID In past
years; levees have never been Of any use
to us, on the contrary. they have always
proved very expensive luxury.
