Combinations and Wages.

In what lines of industry are the
wages lowest and the abuses greatest?
Is it i'll those where modern methods
have been most extensively employed.
and where machinery, with its attendant
concentration of power, has made the
most progress, or is it III those whose
methods arc sr-vivals from an earlier
stage of industrial order?
To this question there can be but one
answer. The lowest wages, tho most un-
sanitary conditions, the grossest abuses
and expressions are not to be found in
factories, but i'll tenement house indus
tries. 1t is among the cigar makers, or
among the workers in certain branches
of tie ready made clothing trade that
these matters are ut their worst Yet it
is just here that the conditions of en-
ployment arc most like those which pre-
vailed i'll earlier industrial periods
Tho sufferers under the sweating sys-
tenn arc not, us is so often charged, the
victims of tho present industrial order.
They arc the victims of Il survival of
past labor conditions into an age which
has become familiar with better ones.-

SOUTH AFRICAN POLITICS.
Contest Between the President and
the High Court.

Pretoria, March go : The judges of the
high court of the South African republic

to them by President Kruger, in which

road on February %, placing the high
court under the jurisdiction..of the Volks-
raad within fourteen days, aud warned
the judges against --arrogating to them
selves the right to place their own inter
pr tation upon the constitution of the
country.
In their reply the judges agree not to
contest the resolutions of the Volksraal
provided that IL bill be passed placing
the high court upon firmer basis OF in
dependence of special Legislation. The
president has consented to place before
the Nolksraad such proposals as the
judges haze suggested.

RUGS, RUGS.

Since we began to handle Rugs hun
dreds of homes in Roanoke have been en-
abled to add the attractiveness as we'll
as the comfort OF rugs, because of the great

sold at 81 before is now offered for less
than SD.

the Center Table.

Some cIa recently has spoken wort!
in favor of the old time center table,
and it would indeed be good thing
could it be restored. The very presence
of its bright lamp, its periodicals and its
books suggests sociability and delightful
intercourse. The very opportunity it Of
fers for the drawing up of many chairs
is q silent invitation, and it SO possesses
subtle charm that is all its own. What
we most need i'll our modern social life
are informal gatherings where compan-
lonslip can be enjoyed without the
preparation and tho fuss attendant upon
II dinner or IL reception. And, as the
center table may properly be called Il
promoter of just such happy homes, it
would be we'll were it once more given
a place. -Philadelphia Ledger.
