Familiar Faces That Are Seldom Over
looked by New Yorkers.
One of the popular habits of the peo-
pie of this city is to consult the clock
almost on every occasion when an op.
portunity is presented. 1t matters lit
tie whether any special need requires
that consultation or not, the clock will
thus be consulted. Especially is this
the case if particular clock has the
reputation of being good timekeeper.
So well is this known by many store
keepers that they will place clocks in
their stores SO situated as to be easily
seen by persons who may be passing
along the adjacent sidewalk. If the
clock has good reputation and the
pedestrian is fortunate enough to carry
a watch, comparison is almost sure to
be made.
Many times clock with good repu-
tation placed in the back part of store
becomes protection thereof, especially
at night, if near it is located light
strong enough to illuminate its face and
show the time. A policeman told a
Mail and Express reporter the other
day that good clock, thus situated, is
better than a private watchman for a
jewelry store, as every belated passer-
by is likely to look through the store to
see what time it is, and would be al
most certain to notice anything un-
usual in the appearance of the place. IT
therefore becomes indirectly a silent
watchman guarding the premises
against the depredations of burglars,
and makes the pedestrians, as it were,
assistants in the work.
Church clocks have always had
large number of patrons in the work of
consultation, and nothing seems to be
so annoying as to find such clock in
active. When an event of this character
occurs, especially if the church is 10
Gated ON or near busy thoroughfare,
the fact of the clock being stopped, or
that some defect appears to exist, is
often made the subject of a notice in
the daily papers. Especially was this
the case when the steeple of old st.
Paul's was recently undergoing reno
walton, and it was a joy to many, on
noticing that the newly gilded hands of
the clock were again travelling along
their accustomed circuit, and the deep
toned bell was ready to strike the hour
once more.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

HOW'S THIS:

What is this talk we see cropping
up in the Republican papers about
some occult connection between crops
and prosperity? We don't exactly get
the idea through our editorial head.
Crops and prosperity! What in the
name of all that is Republican have
the crops to do with prosperity? What
possible part can the fruits Of the soil
have in the return Of good times?
What has Providence got to do with
the welfare and happiness of the peo-
pie? 1t has been pounded into us
for something more than a twelve
month that there could be no possible
prosperity without the Republican
party. the election of Mckinley and
the re-enactment of a high protective
tariff, and yet the people who have
been indefatigable in preaching this
economic doctrine lay themselves open
to the charge or rank heresy by con-
oeding the point that the crops have
something to do with the threatened
return of approximately good times.
This sort of thing wont do at all,
you know. Prosperity, if it is really
coming. must be on the way despite
the good crops, and not because or
them. Prosperity is winging her way
to earth because the Dingley bill is
on the statute books Of the Nation,
and because Mr.. Mckinley is nominal
" the head of the Government. There
can be no ,other possible cause. Any
other reason is utterly inconsistent
with the facts and the invention OF
someone without the orthodox and true
faith.
Good crops responsible for prosperi-
ty? We should say not.
The Dingley bills the real thing.

LAW AND ORDER.

st. Louis Republic.
The most commendable feature of
the present great coal strike is the
spirit of respect for the law and good
order manifested by the strikers. Never
before in the history of strikes and
other industrial disturbances brought on
by wage earners have the men engaged
in them conducted themselves with
such decorum.
The coal strike is now more than a
month old and involves thousands of
miners in four or five States, and yet,
except for an occasional and isolated
case of violence, the efforts of the
leaders to keep the peace and preserve
public order have been remarkably
successful. When it is remembered
that the strikers have won the open
sympathy of the Governors Of West
Virginia and Illinois and that it has
been intimated to them by these high
officials that they need fear nothing
from the MALTA, their good behavior
cannot be said to be due to physical
fear.
The big railroad strike of 1894 has
taught the leaders Of the present move
ment that they can hope to hold pub
lie sympathy only by observing the
strickest ruIesSand order and restraint.
1t is a great gain every way. Whether
the strikers win or lose they have, so
far, managed their strike in the way to
convince the public that they value
the orderly administration of the law.
