The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1894-06-21

Western ideas make very slow
progress in China. The reason is
very we'll illustrated in the report
of the beginning and end of a labor
ers'' strike that occurred at Pekin
recently. Several thousand work.
men were repairing the imperial
buildings. Their wages were un-
satisfactory and they struck work.
The emperor issued an edict com.
handing the soldiers and police to
arrest every one guilty OF retarding
the work. The order was obeyed
and the strikers were arraigned for
treason. The most active leaders
will be strangled and their most
Jealous followers will be banished
70 the fever and mosquito regions
for three years. ''The STRIKE" the
cable says, ''has collapsed" 1t is
no wonder that there is great re-
bellion atoot in China, intent upon
overthrowing the ruling dynasty.

LITTLE.

Accept it, and make it the motto
of your life. A little moderation is
wealth and fortune a condition
that promises the most peaceful lite,
free from anxiety for the future,
doubtless requiring daily duties, but
permitting many innocent enjoy
nents. A little moderation in our
desires, contentment with what we
possess, making the most of it, and
depressing all vain dreams of more
brilliant position, more exten led
reputation, a more famous name.
A little-tne affection of a heart
devoted to duty, and kindling JOY in
the family circle composed of kim
dred to love, friends to cheer, poor
TO succor, hearts TO strengthen, sui
ferings to alleviate. A little-a
taste for all that is beautiful books,
works of art, music, not making us
idly dream of fame, but simply pro-
viding enjoyment tor the mind, all
the more keen as the daily toll rem
ders the occasions rare.

A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

The kilograms from the Northern
states in which coal is mined read as
1t a civil war were in progress in
that region. Troops are in the
field, and the strikers, armed and
desperate, do not hesitate to kill in
their determination to prevent other
men from working and the railroads
from moving coal already mined.
The problem presented is a very
serious one. Nobody in this coun-
try denies the right OF workingmen
to combine. that by common effort
they may advance their inserests.
Most people, we suppose, believe
they ought to so combine. The
problem now presented for solution
has properly nothing whatever to do
with the question Of workingmen
combining, but has nevertheless
grown out OF the existence of such
combinations, in the sense that but
for the combinations the problem
would not, in all probability, have
ever come up for solution.
1t is an instance Of the abuse of
power. 1t is easy for 200,000'men
banded together to defend their
rights to confuse, after time, their
rights with their desires. Conscious
OF their numbers, of their physical,
moral and political force and of the
strength of their discipline, it is
easy tor them to change from the
defensive TO aggressive attitude.
This is what the miners have done.
They demand, not that their rights
be respected, but Chat the rights of
other men be curtailed, and are try
ing to enforce their demand by force
of arms.
While the right OF men to CONS
bine for their mutual benefit and to
quit work when the remuneration
offered is not in their judgment sat
hcient is sacred, the right of other
men to hold peaceable possession of
their property and to work when the
offered is satisfa ctory
is Just as much so. Nobody is dis
putting the right to combine and to
strike, and the courts have recently
it. The right to work
and to hold property is now heing
denied by the miners, and in its
turn it must be indicated. IF a
man may not work excep: by per-
mission of other men he is not less
a slave. than if he belonged to an in
dlvldual master. So long as be is
denied the right to work in any law
full way according to his own will he
is deprived of the liberty that is the
very essence of America nism 1t is
the duty of government 70 see that
he is not deprived OF that liberty
not made by force of arms the sub
lect or slave of a mob Macon Tele-
graph.

One of the easiest and most trust

One of the easiest and most trust
worthy modes otdetermining wheth-
er a supposed diamond is genuine or
false is as follows: Pierce a hole
in card with needle or pin, and
then look at it, using the stone for
lens. If the supposed diamond is
genuine you will see but one hole /:
if false two will appear. With an
imitation stone you may also see the
lines on the skin of your finger; with
the true gem you cannot.

CHANGED HIS MIND.
The papers were all ready TO be s,sneu,

a.s,r,cco that the next day all wouio
he settled and he could begin work at
once During that night. however. either
Through the Chinese or some other IN
Huence. the Kings mind was changen, ano
a ,,es.apr was sent to the American icga-
tion that his Majesty had decided 20 grant
M concessions 1T present. ana that Mr.
Morse was at liberty TO leave as soon
no no chose. As to how this change
came about no one knows, but emma
probably had her fingers In the pie. III
90 said that one OF the foreigners con-
pected with the court demanded tnat
he be paid big percentage OF the pron,s
of the scheme for the influence wnich
no claimed TO have exerted in getting the
King to accede TO Il. This was refused,
and he probably got his revenge through
the Chinese. In all this trouble which Is
going on in Korea It must be remem-
6ered that the Chinese are the enc
mics of progress They are not the true
friends OF the Korean people. They have
the INNER hand AMI they are doing all
they can to keep the country back. The
falling through OF this scheme was
very unfortunate thing FOR Korea. had
the papers been signed both the King
and the American capitalists would now
BE- on the road to wealth The people
would have had n large amount OF their
taxes RENTED, for the Kings Treasury
would have been full. and there would
have been no rebellion. As IL Is now,
no one can tell what will happen, but
sooner or later this land will be one OF
the most prosperous on the globe.

COPPER AND COAL.

COPPER AND QUAIL.
There are large copper mines in different
parts of Korea, and a great deal OF this
is dug out, smelted. and used in the
manufacture OF hrasSware. Brass is more
used. perhaps, than any other metal.
The eating utensils. including dishes,
spoons. anu chop-sticks, are made of IL.
and all of the wash-basins OF the country
are OF this material The quality OF the
brass is superior to that which | have
seen Ia any other part of the world. Ii
takes polish like gold and 1t Is wonder
fully bright and pure. None OF the cop
per is, l believe, exported, and the same
Is true OF the coal The Korean coal
mines. which lie near the big city of
Ping Yam. about 100 miles north OF Seoul.
SO DIR. Appenzeller. one Of the best-postei
missionaries OF the country, tells me,
are rather coal quarries than shafts The
coal Is dug from the top OF the ground.
and It is taken out at the minimum of
expense. 1t Is fine anthracite, and IL
would bring right here In the capital
from $40 to $l2 a ton. a big trade could
be carried on in It to the different parts
OF China and the east. As 1t is. Japan
sells millions Of dollars worth OF coal
every year. and the mines which visited
last month In North China were disposing
of from LOO TO 1900 tons OF coal a day.
The coal that comes to Seoul. however.
goes chiefly to the palace, and the mines
await practical men to turn their dusky
