THE President has transmitted his mos
sage to Congress. The most notable feat
ure about it is its greatlength and dryness
Grover tried to avoid any expression or
paragraph that would wake up the sleepy
individual who undertook to wade through
it all. 1t would afford great scholar some
qualification to ferret out the grammatical
and other mistakes of the President which
the message contains, but to the politician
aud average newspaper reader it is sadly
lacking in interest The most important
tendency of the document is to make the
currency problem the greatest question
before the country. The President favors
the repeal of the tax on the state bank cir
culation and the issue of the notes by the
State banks where their solvency is ap-
proved. The tendency is toward the elm
nation of the treasury from the banking
business leaving it TO issue only gold and
silver, while the circulation of paper mon
ey is given over entirely to the banks or
course nothing can come of this, because
the present Congress will not be able to
pass it; but strenuous effort should be
made to secure its enactment into law,

Beautify your homes, says the Oxford
Globe. Get 25 cents worth of lime and
some day after rain, ard before the
ground is dry enough to work, whitewash
the yard fence and everything else you can
reach. 1t will pay you much better than
going to town. A man-you can get his
name il you want it-tried in vain to sell
his farm for $40 per acre. So he cleaned VI
and repainted his outside fences, put new
roof on the stables, whitewashed the yarC
fence and cleaned up generally, and before
the year was out he sold his farm for Sl'
per acre. He raised about 81, 600 by expend
ing about S25. 1t is not necessary and il
doesn't pay TO let your place wear dilapi
dated appearance. Ii you want to sell OIL
to obtain money or credit or to feel cheer
full or have your family feel SO, or want
your boys to feel like home is nice place
to stay, fix up things. This is the cheapest
possible way to make every body including
yourself, think you are prosperous. Again
we say. beautlfy your homes. Fix up things
Do little every day, and then it will take
very little time and hardly any money at
all Strangers looking at our country
would like 1T and US infinitely better if we
would whitewash and fix up things

What is more disgusting than to see an
editor of small caiber trying to read Sena-
tor George out of the democratic party be-
cause of his views on the silver question?
Senator George has done more for the
democratic party than any man in the
State without exception. The views he
holds to-day are the ones he has held for
years and are in unison with those held by
five -sixths of the party in Mississippi

cratic camp there will not be enough troops

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE.

The decision just handed down in the
United States court of Appeals by
Judge Harlan, of the United States
Supreme Court, holding that railway
employees may strike and that their
action is not illegal, seems almost
humorous. Judge Jenkins decision
that strike was necessarily illegal, -
was the occasion for Judge Harlans.
When one stops to think of the mat
ter it must seem strange indeed that
the right of men to quit work could
ever be questioned. Men have chat
right and must have it if they are TO
be anything else than slaves. The
question at issue between Pullman and
his employees was whether they had
a right to compel him to give them en-
ployment whether he chose to or not.
They had no such right, yet that was
as much their right as for a court to
say, as Judge Jenkins in effect said.
that men had no right to quit work.
The right of the one was as strong as
that of the other
During the past summer the question
of the right of men to strike and of
employers TO refuse to hire men was
very much beclouded. The question it.
self was lost sight of in the extremes to
which the strikers went and the neces-
sity that the authorities were under to
call out the military resources of the
state and general governments to sup
press lawlessness and maintain the
authority of the law That is all past.
and now those engaged in the strike
have time when there is no excitement
to consider the folly of the way in
which they sought to redress their
grievances. The futility of the means
employed must be apparent to all.
This decision of Judge Harlan's
should have a salutary effect Those
who were affected by Judge jenkins
order had come to think the courts were
their enemies and the friends of the
corporations. The truest friends of
freedom, both in this country and Eng
land, have always been the courts. The
workingmen should never lose sight of
that fact, but should throw all their
Influence to see that none but those OF
the best ability and the greatest in
tegrity are elevated to the bench.
The right of men to strike has been
fully recognized by one of the highest
courts in the land. Let those who are
affected by this decision remember that
this right does not allow them to pre-
vent others from taking the places they
have quilted if they so choose. and that
they have no right to injsre the pro-
perty Of those against whom they may
have inaugurated a strike. The rights
of one part of the community are as
sacred as those of the other part.
