There is so much gossip concerning an
dcations that Governor Gage will yield
to the pressure of Dan Burns, Herrin and
the followers of the Mexican and call
the members of the Legislature together
that The Call makes an estimate of the
expense to the taxpayers of a special ses-
sion.
1t may be reckoned as a certainty that
the length of the session will not be less
than thirty days. Events may occur
which would prolong the session to ninety
days. The expense on a thirty days ba-
sis may be figured as follows:
Per diem and mileage Of Senators. s12, 600
Per diem and mileage of Assemblymen.. q, 600
Pay OF officers and clerks of the Senate. 5000
Pay of officers and clerks of the Assem-
ll,OOo
Contingent expenses of the Senate. Is, 900
Contingent expenses Of the Assembly. 90 900
For stationery light and other supplies. 600
For State Printing Ofhce.................. 5000
Total sl29. 900
Should the length of the session be ex-
tended to sixty days the expense would
be nearly doubled, in fact doubled in ev-
cry particular save that of mileage. 1t
may be figured, therefore, that a sixty
days session would cost $3.50, 900, and a
ninety days session 1919, 900.
The Legislature, once convened in extra
session, can adjourn at its sweet will. The
constitution limits the pay Of the regu-
lar biennial session to a period of sixty
days. If the members remain after the
expiration of sixty days they do not draw
pay from the State. They can appropri-

suspect the Messenger man buys
where he can get what he wants

he has anything to sell, he takes
it where he can get the most
money for it. And so does the
capitalist buy his labor as cheap
as he can, and the laborer tries to
sell his labor for as much as he
can get, and so does every one of
the u millions of the people of

of the whole matter.

The retirement of Thomas B.
Reed from public life is the sever
est loss the national councils have
sustained by voluntary act since
the resignation from the senate of
Conklin in 1881. Mr.. Reed is
regarded as altogether the Hottest,
strongest and most excellent
character in all of the admirable
craftsmanship of the Republican
party of today. His answering
and virtuous devotion to the
straight paths of principle and
duty has barred his way to the
chief magistracy of the nation, but
his SPLENDID and luminous public
career is crowned with an honor
able and lasting dignity that the
mutations of politics can never
take away. Mr.. Reed leaves
congress a poor man in purse
and his new career is undertaken
in order that his new home circle
may receive the provision and
safety that only financial compe-
tency affords nowadays. Itseem'
unfortunate that financial necessi
ties should drive a master minc
like his from the field of statecraf
to the sordid cares of professiona
work, but unquestionably the ten
dancy of the day is in that direc
ton. The favor of the populac
is growing to be so unstable
thing that men of conscious wort
are not willing to trust thei
claims TO success to its caprices.-

whether the condition of the
business of the country is good or
bad. So we can clearly see that
strikes are no criterion by which
to judge the condition of the coun-
try, they occurring from various
causes and at any time. Another
thing. The government of a
country is not always to blame
for strikes, and the only ones
directly concerned are the en-
ployee and the employer, the
government only seeing that just
ice is done between them. How
ever, a policy of government
may close factories and throw
workmen out of employment; it
may let in goods from other coun-
tries, which because they are
produced more cheaply can be
sold for less than the goods pro-
duced here, thus undertaking the
home market, and either closing
our factories altogether or cause
a decrease in the wages of the
employees, or cause them to work
on half time. Economic relations
are so complicated, and in their
operation so delicate, that they
should not be disturbed except
for great cause, and that only
comes when the conditions of the
country is such that a change is
absolutely necessary. Because
there is a difference between a
factory and its employee is no
reason why a country should be
flooded with cheap foreign pro-
auctions. Commonsense ant
reason should be used in every
thing, and in nothing more thar
when the welfare of our neigh
Dor as we'll as our own are a
stake.

Pleasing Display Of caAdor.

The Philadelphia Times
Democratic newspaper, is great
ly impressed by the fact that in
the suberb of Kensingson, great
mill district, a new condition of
things has developed. For many
years past in Kensington, says the
Times there has invariably been
a surplus of weavers, "and sur
plus labor has always been an OBJ
stacle to full compensation for
labor" Very true, it has been.
The Times had abundant oppor-
tunity to note this economic fact
from 1893 to 1897, the period of
"Tariff reform" inaugurated as
the result of the election of a Free
Trade President and Free-Trade
Congress in November, 1892.
"But today" says the Times,
referring to the changed condi-
tons in the Kensington mill dis
trict, "the inquiry is general for
skilled men to run the, looms
of that great hive of industry p
Moreover, the Times is sure that
this increased demand for labor is
not influenced in any degree by
conditions:
at is simply the logical out
growth of the general prosperity
that prevails in all industrial, trade
and commercial circles through
out the land. Capital has conf
dence in industrial enterprise: i
has confidence in the integrity Of
our national credit and the estab-

country Is going from worse to
a better condition, or when the
country is going from better to
worse condition or when the re-
lation between the employee and
the employer are not agreeable.
When Grover Cleveland, and the
Democratic administration came
into power, this advent was fol-
lowod by numerous strikes, and
the reason for them was that the
country was declining from a
state of great prosperity, and
when the manufacturer, or en-
ployer found that his goods were
being underbid in the market he
tried to curtail expenses. He cut
off this luxury, and that luxury,
and looked everywhere for leak
ages. Still he found that his
goods went begging in the mar
ket. He then looked to his labor,
and made a slight reduction, still
he wasn't coming even, and he
made another reduction, and there
was a strike. After his men held
out as long as possible, the en-
ployer and employee, came to
some adjustment of differences and
the work progressed, maybe on
half time and maybe on third
time. And possibly the employer
was running his plant at loss.
This reduction in wages while at
fecting labor seriously, did not
affect the employee as much as
might be expected at first glance,
for as his wages decreased, the
prices Of every commodity in the
market likewise decreased. When
the conditions of the country be-
come better, the prices of com,
modities are first to rise, and this
makes it hard on the employee
because while everything he eats
and wears are constantly going
skyward, his wages remain at th'
old depressed-country condition
price. He naturally makes re-
quest for raise, and possibly, I

ployer thinking as he had KEEP

days when he, a ragged, dirty,
boy, was silently plodding along

him. His poor mother at home

clothes, working increasingly that
her boy may be kept in school.

BALLOTS AND BULLETS.

The Challis Messenger is feel
ing quite panied over the several
strikes reported in the east the
past few months, and winds up a
short editorial sqNib on the mat
ter, thus:
Labor and capital are getting
ready for fight to the death early
In the coming century. May the
cOntending hosts fight with ballots
instead of bullets, is our prayer.
We fear that the Messenger is
viewing the matter in a wrong
light, and that the time for a gen
eral, concerted warfare between
capital and labor is not in sight,
that, in fact, such contest is be-
coming less and less possible as
the years pass. We have not so
many strikes, nor so violent, as
we once had. The capitalist has
found that he can not get along
without labor, and the laborer
has found that he can't exist very
well without the capitalist, and
when they both come to this view
point, when they come to under
stand that they are mutually help
full, that their interests lie in the
same direction and are not antag-
onistic, they will fight no more
We think more strikes are caus-

laying Of the cornsr.stons.

Men, as rule, are done up in
their ambitions, their business and
their loves. AS rule, man is a
selfish animal, and from the cradle
to the grave makes struggle for
self. When, then, a spectacle
is witnessed Of unselfish charity,
performed to make the burdens
of other lives less hard to bear, it
has an effect on even hardened
men, for glimpse of the glory
which attends it is seen, and hearts
are impressed. When the charity
bends down to draw mercies
around children who have been
bereft of their parents, and who
in their helplessness and desolation
can make no appeal except
through their desolation and help
lessness, then the charity becomes
as pathetic and touching as it is
all-embracing. 1t redeems poor
human nature and makes men
think better Of their fellow-men.

cornerstone of the new orphan

all and all, that we have ever eaten an
apple that more nearly approaches all
