To Countenance Such an Uprising Would
Be Dangerous to the Country.
Just when the bituminous coal min
ers' strike had been settled and it be-
gan to look as If there was some hope
of the railroads being able to earn
enough TO keep them out OF the hands
of receivers, the wheels on every road
from the eastern slope of the Missis-
sippi Valley TO the Pacific coast were
either actually STOPPED, or active
preparations were under way to bring
them to a standstill. Never was the
action OF the railroad officials more i'm
por,ant, never were the principles in
vol, ed more vi al. The annual traffic
re enue of the rairo DIS of the United
States amounts tt considerably more
than thousand million dollars; it was
proposed to stop this revenue AMI in
so doing to cripple or destroy every
business enterprise throughout the
count viii h is dependent upon the
railroads for transportion, while a few
hot-headed labor leaders settled q
question of difference which hal arisen
wholly outside OF the management of
the railroad companies themselves.
1t was absolutely OF no consequence
whatever whether the position taken
by Mr.. Pullman, or the Pullman Palace
Car Company, was right or wrong;
that question was in no way involved.
To raise il TO the dignity OF moments
consideration is to conccde that the
leaders OF any labor organization have
a right TO stop the turning of the
wheels on 10000 miles of railroad,
while they settled dispute with the
manufacturer of axle grease without
the liberal use of which IL is, OF
course, unsafe to move trains. Or
they might pick qua rel with car
wheel manufacturer and then insist
that ell the wheels made by the con-
Germ should be taken of and replaced
by others, before the trains would be
allowed to run again. indeed, these
propositions would be more reasonable
than the recent demand made. for there

a Hint.

Betrothed people are apt to be alb
sorbed in each other to toe exclusion
Of other friends. There is great
temptation to lovers to withdraw
themselves from other interests, to
make the parents and brothers and
sisters who have loved girl all her
life feel that they are no longer neces-
sary II her; that her heart is gone
from them, while her form is In their
midst But it would be nObler
love, and one that would promise
more for future happiness, that would
hold the old ties more nearly and
dearly because OF this new one, dearer
than them all, which would be sedu-
lous to spare the home circle any
slight, any sense OF loss beyond the
inevitable one parted presence. Love
is the best gift OF God, bat 1t should
be crowned with honor-a sovereign
who exalts his subjects, not tyrant
who debases them. A noble minded
girl who will be careful in no least
thing to hurt or slight the home
hearts she Is leaving, will show that
she could afford to wait a little even
for her happiness, rather than grasp
1t with unseemly eagerness.

sitting on stool in the back yard,
doing his sums, and he couldn't get

his face, and there was a little snake

had done all the sums. We've tanned

The old walls Of the Citadel at Que

Before the withdrawal OF British
troops from Canada twenty years ago
companies of the Royal Engineers were
engaged in keeping the citadel in per-

created by the neglect into which the
fortress has fallen is not exaggerated
