THE country may we'll mourn with
the printers over the death of their
patron saint, George Washington Childs
of the Philadelphia Public Ledger. AS
publisher of one OF the foremost
papers OF the country he became a man
of the world, but such man as does
credit to any profession by his noble.
ness of purpose and his sincerity of
action. He has conceived as the object
of his calling the elevation Of mankind
in SO far as it is compstable with the
dissemination OF the news OF the every
day life, and no one has been more
successful in carrying out this idea
than was Mr.. Childs. He possessed a
kind and generous heart, which endeared
him 20 everyone. His loss falls not
alone upon the city Of Philadelphia,
but upon the whole country. OF him il
may be said great and good man has
gone to his reward.

JUNIORS OLD QUARTERS BURNED.

A Building That Has Been Extensively
Use by the City Quilted by Fire.
The old wooden building diagonally
opposite the mayors office on Campbell
avenue, recently vacated by the Junior
Hose Company, was discovered to be on
fire at about 1880 o'clock Yesterday
afternoon by Polio ,man Rigney, who at
once turned in the alarm from box Al.
In an almost incredible time all the fire
companies were upon the scene and the
flames extinguished, but not before the
old building. which was little more
than she'll, was Quilted by the flames.
The old hose reel of the Vigilants, 500
feet OF hose, the indicator that was to 90
to the Alerts and a good double set of
harness were wholly or partially de-
stroyed by the flames. The fire was of
incendiary origin, and is Thought to have
been started by number of bad boys
who infest the vicinity. The loss to the
building is variously estimated at from
$1,000 to 81, 500 and the contents at from
$500 to $3.50. There was no insurance.
This is one of the historic buildings OF
tho town. 1t was built by Ferdinand
Rorer and known for several years az
Rorer Hall. 1t afterwards served in
turn as courthouse, Jail, mayors Office,
police station and the home Of the
Junior Hose Company.
After the fire had been extinguished
the indicator, which was a costly and
intricate piece of mechanism, was taken
10 the telephone exchange, where it
will, If POSSIBLE, be PIT in condition
again by Superintendent Wright.

STRIKES HAVE NO PLACE NOW.

It is fact to be noted with interest
that all over the country during these
days OF business depression, reductions
in wages for the workingmen have been
cheerfully received. Every day now
some idle industry is started up, but In
almost every case reduced wages are
being paid to the employees 1t speaks
well for the intelligence of the work
ingmen that these reductions are being
accepted without great complaint and
that but very few strikes are resulting
therefrom.
The reductions are not received, how.
ever, with the assurance that they are
TO remain permanent, but that in each
case the cut in wages is necessitated by
the depression in business and the in.
ability of each industry to be run while
the depression lasts with prosperous
time rates. 1t must be realized now
that every mandatory, every merchan-
tile establishment, every railroad and
almost every kind Of industrial plant
necessarily must be run upon the most
economical bases. Assignments have
been frequent, failures have been pre-.
dominant and the hand of the receiver
has been stretching out in way that is
appalling under ordinary circumstances.
1t becomes the laborer then to assist
rather than to hinder the effort that ia
being made to resume business or to
continue business even at reduced
wages Strikes, even in prosperous
times, are losing ventures in nearly
every circumstance, and in times OF de-
preston they sap the strength of an
already impoverished body with the
hope Of accom- lishing less. Now is
the time for employer and employe to
stand together, and when prosperous
times come each will be the gamer
thereby.
