combination too strong for the
Smiths, who have been obliged to
drop to second place
In other ways there is not the clear
supremacy of the Johnsons. Both
names figure prominently in art, in
literature, war, prose and poetry,
business and politics. Mere numbers
count for nothing here, and no scales
have yet been invented by which
merit can be weighed and the pre-
ponderance of one or the other de-
termined. Only in the political arena
have the Johnsons one score more
than the Smiths. Each family has
given us governors and senators and
representatives galore, but the John
sons have the distinction of having
had a president of these United
States among them, a dignity to
which no Smith has yet attained.
We call, in passing, the attention of
the Smiths to this fact. They are
still sufficiently numerous to put
Smith in the presidential chair if
they only mobilize their forces for
that end. If they do not, they can
have, at least, the satisfaction of
knowing that they are a very po-
tential factor in determining who
shall be the president; and it is quite
as much distinction to make pres
idents as to be one.

contending for more he should put a
stop to business improvement. These
people argue seriously that the work
ingman ought not to demand higher
wages i'm bad times, because his
employer cannot afford to pay them:
and that he ought not to do so in
good times, lest he should interfere
with business prosperity. The logic
of this is that the laborer ought
never either to strike or to demand
higher wages at all. He should be
satisfied with whatever is thrown
to him. The argument is foolish
and out of date. There can never
be any better time than the present
for the establishment of a pern1a-
nent understanding between capital
and labor, and between employer
and employee. If men would only
insist upon reaching such an agree
ment when business is fourishing,
and the outlook satisfies the most
sanguine, instead of when all bust
ness is declining and everybody feels
that ruin impends, it would be a
happy change. Now, when both
sides are we'll satisfied with the pres
ent and confident of the future, is
the time for them to reach a COM
mon ground.
The workingman does not intend
to be unreasonable. He expects to
share the adversely of his employer,
and believes that this gives him
right to share his prosperity. What
is wanted more than anything else
is clear and cordial understanding
between masters and men. If each
studied the position of the other
candidly and conscientiously, and
attempted to reach harmonious re-
lations, the most difficult part of the
labor problem would be solved. If
ever the two factors of it are to
strike hands in a common and fair
agreement, it will be at time like
this; and not when both are strug-
Cling, with the selfish interest of
life and death, in the angry waves
of a common business ruin. We say
then, that this is the best time con-
ceivable to study the labor problem.
1t is the best time for the people on
either side Of it to get together and
reach a mutual understanding. 1t
is the best time to provide against
the angry antagonists that are sure
to rise again in the future, when we
reach once more a falling market,
and prices, profits and wages go
down together. It would be of in
estimabIe benefit to all classes of the
community if this principle were
well understood, and if labor and
capital devoted these balmy and en-
couraging days each ito study of
the conditions that govern the other,
and to an attempt to reach a COM
mon basis of action for the future.

REPORTS GROW BETTER.

1t is generally the case that the
final reports from the harvest fields
show a good crop to be better, and
poor crop to be poorer, than was at
first anticipated. Conservative OBJ
servers tone down the facts in either
direction. If it is a year of crop
failure, they do not wish the eX-
tent of the disaster to be made pub
lie all at once. If it is a year of
abundant yields, they fear that to tell
the entire truth may be to affect the
markets unfavorably at first, and
to insure general disappointment
later on when the less satisfactory
fact becomes known. Indications
now point to extreme conservatism
on the part of those who have been
the crops. In almost every instance,
as our detailed reports this morning
show, the actual yield of grain is
either already ascertained to be, or
promises to be, in excess of previous
estimates. Wherever the thresher
has done it's work, the results are
most satisfactory. Of course fields
that turn out phenomenally we'll are
sure to be reported, and those of in
ferior grade receive no attention;
but we cannot be insensible to the
general computation of the average
yield by counties which the G. lob e
has obtained from impartial sources.
They may, indeed, be considered to
be more open to bias in the direction
of underestimate than in that of
eXaggeration.
This very complete report from all
sections of Minnesota and of the two
Dakotas is almost conclusive to the
effect that the crop of small grains
will not only be much above the
average, but will approach, as a
whole, toward the largest yield ever
known. 1t is important in it's bear
ing upon the welfare of our people
that it is not the wheat crop alone
which has turned out so exceedingly
well. While the average per acre
for wheat will certainly be from %
to so per cent in excess of that of
most recent years, the crops of rye.
| barley and oats are something phe-
| nomenal. The same is true of pota-
toes, which will be more abundant
| this year in the Northwest than ever
before. Hay has been injured in
some localities, but is a fair crop.
Flax is less satisfactory than any
thing else, while corn is looking we'll
everywhere. The sum total of it all
is that mother earth has given most
| lavishly of her bounty to the North
west this year. The farmer will have
an immense amount of all kinds of
agricultural produce to market. and
he is perfectly sure, owing to the as
certained facts of general supply
and demand, to get a fair price for

THE GEM OF THE OCEAN.

The most remarkable Improvement
in the modern war ship, after all, is
in the line of speed rather than Of
armament. The first ironclads were
scarcely seagoing vessels at all.
Their defensive armor and their
guns alone were thought of; and if
they were able to make a few miles
an hour, it was enough. They were
supposed to be stationed where they
were wanted, and slow movement
when in action was all that they re-
quired. This has been altogether
changed by recent naval construc-
ton. Our new cruisers are
not only powerful for offense
or defense, but they are wor-
thy rivals of the fastest YES
sells af1oat. The Columbia has, just
made the westward trip across the
Atlantic in a trifle less than seven
days. This is only about eighteen
hours behind the time of the great
ocean greyhound that holds the
record. 1t is an average of nearly
eighteen and half knots for the en-
tire trip. Considering the great
weight of the Columbias armor, the
disadvantages under which she la
bors as compared with a passenger
steamer constructed with view first
Of all to speed, and her comparative
inability to ride the waves, the rec
ord is phenomenal
There are but few ships afoat
that could run away from a cruiser
of this class. No war ship, as far
as they have been tried, of the
worlds navies could overtake the
Columbia or escape from her if she
was in pursuit. In vessels of this
class, which do not carry the max
imum of armor plate, and which are
intended to act, in case of war, as
commerce destroyers," speed is the
alkimportant quality. To have built

TIME FOR REIMBURSEMENT.

The years of SevereSt industrial
est industrial disturbance. No
amount of persuasion or advice has
yet induced the workingman to
avoid the folly of striking on a fall
ing market. When the industries of
the country were most severely
pressed, when the demand for their
products fell off on every side and
their gains were reduced to moth
ing, when the continuance of their
operations at all on any terms was
not a question of profit but a Ques-
ton of paying expenses, it was in
evitable that the wages of labor
should suffer some reduction. I'm
doubtedly some employers took adj
vantage of the situation to reduce
wages with unnecessary severity. 1t
is equally true that, with many of
them, it was a question of cutting
expenses or Of going out Of business
altogether.
The laboring man naturally felt
a cut in his remuneration perhaps
more severely than his employer
felt the reduction or destruc-
ton of his profits. He did
we'll to recognize the necessity
of such an act, and to accept a
lower wage only when the circum-
stances. proved that it was an equal
e. necessity. But he did unwisely to
protest against reduction where that
was clearly an incident of the hard
ness Of the times. Nearly all of our
great strikes have had this origin
ing not only against injustice where
that was an element in the problem,
but they were contending against
business conditions which no effort
of theirs and no will OF their en-
ployers could alter. In the main,
strikes originating under such cir
cumstances are surely destined to
failure
The present situation is entirely
different. All business is well adj
vanced on the up grade. Manufact-
urers are crowded with more orders
| than they can fill. In every kind of
industry there is immense activity,
resulting from a new and increasing
demand. This is a condition when
a readjuStment of wages can prop
erly be made between employer and
| employed. As it is necessary that
the workingman should bear his
share Of the burden of business re-
verses, by accepting the sacrifice of
a portion of his wage, so is it right
that he also should participate in
| the increased profits of better times
In very large number of instances
this has already occurred through
the voluntary action of employers Of
| labor. All over the United States
factories and mills have increased
wages from 10 to % and 80 per cent,
| as sign Of reviving business and
as a just concession to labor's in
| terest in it. This is the time when
labor should be most on the alert
to see that it is fairly dealt with.
| It is strange argument that we
| hear, from those whose sympathies
are always with capital and never
| with the workingman, that the la
| borer should now accept anything
that may be offered to him, lest by

were not we'll to trif1e. And no one
seems to have doubted that, of all
judgment, least mercy would be
shown to him who had by his own
hand stricken his name from the
lease of life, and violated the i'm
piled command of living itself, to
bear everything to the end. 1t was
fear of the consequences of suicide
to a future life, and conviction
that the act was the deadliest of
sins that held humanity away from
the easy escape of the open portals
of death.
Now that unbelief, or, at least in
difference to belief, in the religious
ideas of the past has laid hold of
more people than ever before prob
ably no one will deny. This is not
an irreligious, it is profoundly re-
ligious age. 1t struggles and
agonizes, often with too much self
consciousness and introspection,
over moral questions. But the exact
form of it's faith is unsettled. 1t has
drifted somewhat away from that of
the fathers, without acquiring firm
ness for it's own. The result of such
a period of transition is always and
must be a vast increase in the list
of those who solve their troubles by
believing comfortably in nothing at
all. The old has loosed its hold on
them. The new has not yet engaged
their souls with it's passionate plea
for devotion to the living truth. In
the void, between two spiritual ex-
the material life as the only reality;
and, when that pals or disappoints
them, they put an end to it as read
lily as the child forsakes the game
that goes no longer to his liking. 1t
is the nerve-strain, the SenSitiveness
to gain or loss and the aspiration of
high civilization, joined with the
true pagan temperament, that lead
to suicide. Modern society has an
combinations, and the consequence
shows for itself.
A practical illustration proves the
business of the argument. One man
more than any other in our time has
sought publicity and prominence in
this country by his denial of all the
old faiths, and his rejection of the
sanctions that have made men do
or forbear to do for centuries. He
leaned on the life of the hour. 1t
was logical that this should work
itself out in a recommendation of
suicide to all those who felt that
their disappointments were final and
irremediable. That Col. IngersoIl
should write a treatise on the prac-
teal merits and the moral guiltless-
ness of self-destruction is a COM
plete demonstration of the business
Of the idea here advanced 1t was in
strict conformity with his theory. And
from the men and women who be-
lieve as he believed or disbelieved,
there come increasing numbers year.
ly Of those weary or pressed beyond
their strength, whom no fear of a
reckoning holds longer from the last
irrevocable step. No change in our
modern life can be traced more
clearly to it's source than the in
crease of suicide. 1t is a part of the
tendency of the age For a later
generation it may be left not perhaps
to regain so much of the childlike
faiths of old as to be imbued and
animated by a recognition of the
beauty, the joyousness, the sacred
ness and the Immortality of that in
man which lies beyond reach of
the destroyer.
