THE WAGE QUESTION.

The following idea is put forward by
correspondent OF al Eastern paper:
What the business men. farmers and Iaboring
men need IS steady employment Now, steady
work and low wages is much better than nigh
wages with unsteady emplOym ut.
Whether years earnings at low wages
with steady employment viii be greater
than a years earnings at high wages and
unsteady employment depends upon how
low OF how high the wages are and the pro-
portion Of the time Of employment, a man
could not afford to work for any current
wages without assurance in respect to the
proportion of DAYS in which employment
viii be given. But from a long point Of
view low wages and steady employment
present a hopeless outlook. II wages are
not high enough to enable a wOrkingman
to save money in average years he lacks the
stimulant that every free lab0Ter should
possess. Ambition dies out unless there is
some progress. The man who works for
wages that do not enable him to make pro-
vision for old age often becomes indifferent
as to what becomes Of him. AT best it Is a
lie Of toll and an old age Of privation.
Life under such conditions is hardly worth
living. But when the rate Of wages is high
enough to leave a margin between income
and expenditure, if employment were
steady there is at least a chance to
make provision for the future. Intelligence,
sobriety and skill become factors in the
struggle for work. The laborer has an in
duCement to excel in this work. With
wages 50 low that steady employment only
affords living there is little hope of rising
out Of the rut Capital is more deeply in
terested than it seems to realize in establish
ing rates Of wages that viii enable the pru-
dent labOrer to provide for his future
To the extent Of this provision he is on the
side of law and order. The dangerous man
is one who has done his best and discovered
that he has nothing but his life to lose. The
yagrant may declaim about the injustice of
laws, but be is not armed with the resolu-
ton that makes the Woodworking but I'M
successful man so formidable when the day
of uprising comes Capital is also taxed to
support paUpers. Obviously it is not for
the interest of capital to make paupers.
u hen a man can barely live on his earnings
he sees himself all the days of his life on
the way to the pOor-house. The beast Of
burden which has outlived its usefulness
may be lawfully killed, but the human be-
ing must be cared for after a fashion. Capt.
tai should also see that in our age Of over
production the remedy lies in an increase
Of consumption. II will be a long time be-
fore oYerproducti9n will be more than a
relative term. With people well fed. well
housed and well clothed, production might
be vastly increased. The goods that are in
our oveTstOcked warehouses ought to be on
the backs Of wage workers

A MARRIAGE DELAYED,
But the Young Couple Finally Remove
All the barriers in the Way.

But the Young Couple Finally Remove
All the barriers in the Way.
Love still laughs at locksmiths and finally
will triumph over the stumbling blocks put
in the way Of ardent lovers by the vigilant
marriage license clerk. A young couple
came from Columbus TO this city to be mar
RED. They registered at the Seventh Ave
nue. and hired two rooms, intending to give
MP one in a few hours, but the fates were
against them that day. They arrived late
IN the afternoon and when tile anxious
grOOmsman reached the Courthouse the big
finger nails and went back TO the hotel to
tell his intended bride of the disappOint-
ment.
The next morning he was up with the
larks, and soon had secured the coveted
paper. When they reached the parsons
house in Allegheny the preacher discovered
some Illegal technicality IN the license dOcu-
ment, and not discouraged the young fellow
returned to the Courthouse to have it cor
rected. The clerk, in the meantime, had an
attack of the collie and had gone home.
Nothing daunted the lover drove to his
house in the Eastend, and the paper was
corrected. After several hours he got back
and the knot was tied. When he reached
the hotel the happy groom said to Mr..
Perdu: You can cross off one of the
rooms ROW." "Oh, it's all right at last.
And SO you are married. Well, / congratu-
late YOU"
YEARLY; " but [ will never come to Pitts
burg again to have the job done"
" Oh, GEORGE exclaimed the bride
s. That is So" he answered quickly; 81

In April last Thomas e. North, editor of
Timber, a journal published in London,
England, wrote the President Of the United
States Forestry Department at Washington
as follows:

stated TO be situated in Fresno County, California.

Sun SPOTS.

The New York san has traced con-
nection between the appearance Of spots on
the sun and the violent heat that immedi-
at ly followed in that city. There would
be more reason to attribute the hot weather
in New York to sun spots if the effect had
been more general New York is a large
city, bHt the fact can be established to the
satisfaction Of almost anybody who does
not reside there that it is not the only place
the sun shiHes upon. At the time named
the weather on the Pacific Coast was cool.
People in the interior were complaining
that they had experienced no real summer
weather at the time when the gots on the
sun were causing such distress in New
York. OF course changes in the tempera-
ture which can be traced 10 prevailing
winds do-not necessarily affect a large por-
ton Of the earth's surface. 1t may be very
lot on the Atlantic Coast and reasonably
cool in the Mississippi Valley on the same
day But any change which can be traced
to the sun should manifest itself wherever
the sun shines. New York cannot set up an
especial claim to sun spots on the ground
that tire solar heat Increased about the time
the spots were discovered

A BOYS DISAPPOINTMENT.

He Could Not Get SO for Cents at the
POstofiice.
A little boy from one Of the suburbs came
into the city this morning, and, as he seldom
gets here, lie was very much interested in all
he saw. His father accompanied him, and
while he was in tie United States building
On business he allowed the boy to look
around.
The young hopeful found his way into
the Money order Department. He was look
ing about him very closely, ana read a card
showing the rates for orders. What struck
him fOrcibly was this:
S10-8 cents.
This was his opportunity. He was little
short on change, having invested in an n
ange and some peanuts few minutes be-
fore. but he had something left. BE boldly
approached the window:
Il want a money ORDER" he said.
How large a one?" inquired the lady
clerk, looking down at him.
''Wel, l think $40 will do me-" and he
planked down before the astOnished clerk a
nickel ank three coDpers.
1t took ten minutes to convince the boy
that it would take $40 08 to get $40 from
that Office. lie was very much disappointed
but his father happened in on a search for
him, and he went off TO see other sights

PRIVATE LEGISLATION.

At The banquet Of the Providence Com
raeIdial Club Saturday evening Mr. Cleye-
land made some remarks about private leg
islaties- which were evidently suggested by
certain acts Of the last Congress. Among
orher things he says: Neither the cry Of
protection TO American interests nor pre-
teuded sclicitude for the public good ought
IL succeed in cCncealing schemes to favor
Tie few at the expense Of the many, nor
should the importance 10 the country Of
Legislative action upon any subject divert
as from an inquiry concerning the selfish
nrtXes and purposes which NAV be hidden
behind Tie proposal of such legislation"
1Er. Cleveland qualities the evident pur-
-Irse q lis remarks So as to escape the con-
sequence Of bis logical conclusions. He
does not say in SO many words that no leg
l. alton should be tolerated from which H.
dividuals might derive a benefit althougha APP
parently he condemns any action by the
luw-Wakiug rover behind which there is a
selfish motive. According to this theory a
manufacturer who saw that a protective
tai f would enable him to build up an i'm
lor;ant Industry would be debarred from
urging such policy unless he first Invested
himself of personal interest in the matter.
Projects Ike the Nicaragua Canal should
receive no Government aid unless il could
be shown that the projectors had no chance
20 profit by it. An objection to construct
ing a navy would be found in the fact that
some of its advocates might be interested in
q ship-yaTd. The Postal Act which proposes
to distribute money among steamship com
panies which comply with certain condi-
tons would become vicious legislation If it
should appear that the owners of the steam
ship companies would be benefited thereby,
except rs all citizens are benefited by a
wise public policy. Mr. Cleveland is en-
tiTely right in condemning legislation which
has Tor It's primary object the promotion of
private interests. Schemes to enrich indi-
viduals from which little or no public bene-
fit is derived are the bane of both national
and local legislation. His reference to the
" CRY of protection TO American interests"
indicates that he considers a protective tariff
IS enc Of the measures which flavor the
few at the expense of the many" If Mr..
Cleveland would show that a protective
tariff does favor the few at the expenss Of
the many lie would furnish a conclusive
argument against it. But neither Mr..
Cleveland nor any Of his free-trade follow
ers has yet made such a showing The
wise statesman draws line between legis-
lation which faVors the few at the expense
of the many and legislation which is for the
general public good, from which, however.
individuals may by superior energy, enter
prise and the possession Of special knowI-
edge derive more than an average share Of
benefit. a country cannot well refuse to
pass laws for general good from fear
that individuals wiz find some way to make
