THEY DON'T WANT WORK.

A contractor engaged in levee
work has informed the Memphis
Commercial Appeal that he has en-
ployment for from 200 to 800 hands.
He is forced to be content with the
services of half grown boys living
in the vicinity of his work. He has
tried to hire men, without success.
He has appealed in vain to labor
agencies in st. Louis and Chicago.
lie says there are places for 10000
men along the Mississippi river from
st. Louis 70 New Orleans at reason>
able wages, but the men can not be
had. The labor agents in large
cities have written him that the
streets are full of idle men, bat they
refuse to work. Just what they are
waiting for is mystery; they do
not themselves seem to know. The
explanation may be found in the
paternalism that has prevailed in
the government under republican
rule for quarter of a century, aud
is now being preached by both re-
publicans and populists. The idlers
are waiting to see everybody made
rich through tbs making of silver
dollars free to anybody who will
take the trouble to hold his hat un-
der the hopper of money mill.
They have been taught to believe
that,the government can do any thing
it pleases by saying ''be it enact"

The Old and the New.

The times change and VIC change with
them. Many past customs and usages
exist now only in memory. The nauseo9s
compounds formerly prescribed and sold
for medical use have had their day. Medi-
cal science has achieved great triumph
along that line in presenting remedy so
pleasant to take and so happy in its work
of healing the sick as DIR. Kings Royal

great preparation. 1t emoodies the fruits
of the latest and best medical research,

GEN. GORDON'S SPEECH.

Gen. Gordon's ringing and .patri-
otto speech in the Senate last week
found ready response in all parts
of the country. It was timely
speech, says the Savannah News,
and it not only aroused intense en-
thusiasm and strengthened the pur-
pose of every loyal man at the south
and at the north to uphold the gov.
eminent at any cost and any sacri>
fee, but it carried conviction to all
of those who are disposed to con-
denim the President for calling the
regular army into service at the
points of danger, and those who are
really to engage in the destruction of
lite and property, that the govern
ment is strong enough to protect it's
citizens and compel obedience to
law.
The speech showed the Senate it's
duty, and the resolution OF Senator
Daniel, approving the course Of the
President and pledging him the supp
port of the Senate and the people,
was promptly adopted.
It is worthy of notice that the two
Senators most prominent in sustain
ing the President are from the
south. They understand the south
ern people thoroughly, and knew
that what they we're doing would
have the approval of the south.
The resolution means that the
people of this country will not al
low the institutions of the country
or the stability Of the government to
be threatened by riots or anarchist
ic demonstrations. t. means also
that the government is as firm as a
rock, and that its authority shall be
respected throughout the length and
breadth of the land.
1t is not a menace to labor or to
labor's lights. Labor is as much
interested as capital in the preserva-
ton of order. Without law and or
der and peace, the condition OF labor
would be deplorable. The means
by which labor earns its bread de.
ponds upon the ability of the gov
eminent to maintain its authority
everywhere within its jurisdiction.
The President has shown no sym
pathy for nor against the strikers.
He has expressed no opinion as to
whether or not they are justified in
the course they are pursuing. He
has nothing to do with that matter,
or any labor dispute. He has en-
deavored simply to preserve order
and remove the instructions to in.
terstate commerce and the trans
portation of the mails, and it is his
duty to do that. He has done, and
is doing, his duty faithfully and
firmly-so faithfully and firmly that
he has the hearty support Of all
law-abiding and order-loving citi-
zens. And Senators Gordon and
Daniel, by their promptncss in COM
hitting the Senate to an indorse>
ment of the course of the President,
have brought the south into promi>
nence as the section of the country
that can be depended upon to defend
the republic against its enemies,
whether they are without or within
its borders.

Gambling So Banetul in
its influence.
ITS EXCITEMENT AND FASCINATION.
Every Dollar Gained Except by Hon.
est Industry is in the End
Loss and will be Deadly.

The practice OF gambllng-so fatal
to character and often destructive
to the soul-commonly begins just
as drunkenness begins. AT the
bottom of the first glass of wine or
other intoxicant lies the adder. and
underneath the first dollar staked
on game of chance, or horse.
race, or ball.match is concealed q
serpent. When young man puts
up his first wager at card-tab BILE, or
any game or race, he puts q coal OF
lire into his bosom; and such Goals
often kindle into CONGREGATIONS
which twill burn into the lowest
hell p Gambling for a dime is as
essentially sin as gambling for a
thousand dollars. There is always
a first inch at the top of every preci.
pice.
} We do not declare that everyone
who plays game of whist Is gam
bier, any more than that everyone
who drinks glass of wine is a tip
pier. Yet cards are dangerous ar
ticles, just as wine glasses are; and
it is the path of absolute safety to
let them both severely alone. All
games of chance have a strange
fascination. Archdeacon Farrar
truly remarks that "there is gam
bling element in human nature, .
and it.must be kept under watch in
the same way as inborn sensual APP
petites are watched.
With the excitement of game OF
hazard comes a strong temptation to
risk a stake on the game as soon as
the stake is laid, conscience is apt
to 60 with it, and the devil takes q
hand in the game. A winner in
creases his stakes; loser plays OF
to make up losses; and the only
safe way, therefore, is to stop before
yon begin.
Card-tables and pool-rooms are
not the only places where gambling
is practiced. Tens of thousands ar
tempted to take small risk in min
ing stock or some other volatile
securities that are playing up and
down on Change. l have known q
half.dozen boys-of respectable fami.
lies-to spool" their pocket money
in a venture on a share or two OIL
stock.
1t is time that every young man
banished that healthenish word
''luck" out of his vocabulary. Life
is never a game of chance and God
never intended this world to be a
vast "pool-room" in which success
or failure turns on throw of the
dice. Let Us not only aim &c put
race tracks and pool rooms under
the ban of prohibitory law, but lei
US teach our young men that every
dollar gained except by honest in
dustry is, in the end, loss, and will
eat into the soul like fire Rev

Against the Enemies of
Order and Property.
OBEDIENCE AND LOYALTY TO LAW,
The People are Going to DO the Rul.
ing Hereafter More Thoroughly
and Carefully Than Ever.

Hereafter in this country the line
will be drawn very sharply between
the anarchistic enemies of property
and the safeguards Of order. an6 the
conservative people who respect
those rights and demand their pro-
lection as essential to the mainten-
ance and progress Of civilization.
These sane and law-abiding peo-
pie make up the great mass of our
society. They are citizens who
command the most honor and WELD
the most influence in every commu-
nifty. They are men and women
who Ering up their children in the
tear of God and inculcate in them
the virtues of sobricty, industry,
thrift, and fidelity to duty. They
teach them that it is wrong and dis
graceful to take what does not be-
long to them or to interfere with
the rights of their neighbors. They
tell them that wastetulness in the
use of their own or the, property of
others committed to their keeping is
sinful.
The great. mass of these families
are poor people. The rich are few
comparatively. Their children are
instructed that they will have to
work for their living, as their par
ents do. They are Taught to des>
pise begging and to abominate steal
ing. They are taught to render
faithful service for the wages paid
them, guarding the interests of their
employers as q duty they owe them
selves. Obedience, integrity, and
the cheerful performance of their
tasks in the best way they know
how are inculcated in them from
their earliest youth. They are
taught to be saving, and thus to &C.
quire respect Tor the rights of prop
erty. They are warned against
malice to others.
These people make up the best
and the largest part OF our society
They support the churches and they
are self sacrificing in giving school
ing to their children. They are the
quiet people who avoid mobs and dc
their own thinking without seeking
assistance from bowling labor agita.
tors and socialistic demagogues
They mind their own business and
are not willing that Debs and his
kind should manage it for them. So
proceeding, they often have some
thing laid by for a rainy day, and
they want to keep it. They cannot
keep it under an anarchiStic rule
opposed to all property and the
right of everybody to hold and enjoy
his own securely and honestly.
These people are going to do the
ruling hereafter more carefully and
thoroughly than ever before, and it
will be woe for the political party
which sets itself against their de-
termination.-New York Sun.
