The Unemployed.

The problem confronting many
communities is, What shall be done
for the unemployed? Winter is upon
us and it is conceded that there are al
least ten times as many idle men in
the country as ever before. The con-
dition Of the laboring people of Mar.
tinsbrug is much above that of the
average town, but it is a fact that
much destitution prevails even here.
The city authorities have been EN-
ploying quite number on the streets
enabling them to keep body and sou
together, and will, we have no doubt
continue to do so.
We would suggest that many i'm
provements might be made II o "
which would add materially to the
well-being of all the people and at the
same time keep the wolf from many
a door.

Thy loved face we yet shall see.

OBITUARY..

After lingering illness at his home neal
Nancleyesville, Mr.. Aaron Fulk passed
away, December 12, 1898, aged 81
years and 3 days.
In the death of this worthy and es-
Unable man, the family and commun-
ity suffer an irreparable loss. He was
quiet unobtrusive citizen, faithful
and devoted husband. A good friend
kind and obliging neighbor, and
an indulgent parent, his place can
never be filled. A wide circle of rela-
tives and friends are left to mourn his
death. The bereaved family has the
sympathy of the community. May
their loss be his eternal gain
Almost forty years tenant on the
farm where he died, he had seen many
changes in the neighborhood. Fol
many years as trustee of Vanmeter' S
school, he faithfully and conscien-
tiously performed his duty. His work
is now done, and he has gone to REAP
the reward of his labors.

ARDEN.

Everybody is looking forward to
the happy time-Christmas and the
holidays.
The St. Johns herald., 1893-06-15

is going to force the change to bless society. So far as economic law is concerned. it may and, unless look ed after, probably will, prove acurse instead. When a commodity is produced under trust conditions, cost does not regulate selling prices. This is done quite arbitrarily for a time, the sellers whim being per haps sobered little by his memory of old competitive rates. Slowly, caprice gives way to law; but it is a new law-that of mems needs. Prices go higher and higher till de- mand, and hence profit, begins to fall off; and they then play about the line of what the market will bear, much as they used to about that of cost. The producer can be more or less exacting according to the nature of the product. If it is a luxury, the new law may not ele- vate greatly above the old notch. If it is a necessity, he may bleed people to death.-George Ethelbert Walsh, in the Chautauquan.
