Learn to Save.

Helpless poverty is the most crush
ing atiliction that can come to fam
lily, and is the affliction most easily
avoided. The man who starts out
right will never be poor in the eX-
treme sense, no matter how limited
his income or how circumscribed his
opportunities. Let him lay down the
rule for himself that he will invaria-
bly, spend less than he makes; then he
is safe. Country people rarely suffer
such extreme poverty as we find in the
great centers of population. The
farmers boy is instinctively saving
and careful. He sees all about him
examples of husbandry. The bees,
the ants, and the squirrels all prepare
carefully for rainy day. Man alone
violates this natural instinct, and he
violates it more generally in the luxu-
rious life of the city than in the
palmer and simpler life of the coun-

Portland VIII Have Four Routes.

Portland's reputation for getting
the best of everything has been sus-
tained in the matter of rural free de-
livery routes, Special Agent Robards
laying out three new ones last week,
making four in all from the Portland
postofiice. No other town in Ionia
has more than three and the Review
doubts if there is another town in the
fifth district, with the possible excep-
tion Of Grand Rapids, which can boast
of four.
These routes cover in the aggl e.
gate more than 100 miles daily.
Route No. |, which has been estab-
lished since Feb. 18th, takes in a
large part of Sebewa township.
Route , takes most of the Orange ter
ritory not already covered from Ionia
as well as an i'm portant part of Sc
bewa. Route 3 is designed to cover
as much of the township of Portland,
east of Grand river, as can be crowd
ed in. while Route 4 deals with the
township of Dandy Portland Re

THE GREAT STRIKE.
crease and Dire Results
MAY Yet Come.


1t has been evident for several days
that no settlement of the steel strike
was possible, Instead of yielding at
any point, the trust officials have
added TO their demands, and seeming
ly regarding every concession offered
by the union representatives. as con-
fession of weakness have from the be-
ginning of the negotiations grown
steadily more eXacting. Feeling,
possibly, that the men would be no
worse off after a trial of strength,
even if beaten, than they would to
practically concede all for which they
struck, the Amalgamated officials
have decided to call out every man
who sympathizes with them, and be-
fore the week ends it is probable that
the steel trade of the country will be
paralyzed.
This result is deeply deplorable. 1t
is impossible to prevent prolonged
struggle between two such gigantic
organizations as the steel company
and the Amalgamated association
from sooner or later taking on viol-
ent form. An attempt on the part of
the company to import men and to
resume operations with a new set of
hands will provoke the strikers to
riot If the history of previous
strikes of this nature is repeated
blood will flow, property will be de-
destroyed, the troops will be called
out, the mills will be operated under
guard, eventually the men will be
dispersed aud the company will win a
victory, costly, it may be, and dearly
bought.
In thus entering upon a contest of
this nature and in attempting to
make everything subservient to their
own individual wills both sides disre-
gard the rights of the public. If the
strike assumes the proportions and
form it now threatens to- the loss and
inconvenience TO the general public
will equal that to the parties directly
concerned. The public is in no wise
to blame, and it would seem to have
some rights which should be respect
ed. Men cannot be compelled to
work under unsatisfactory conditions,
nor can employers be compelled to
hire men they do not want. Never
theless, there ought to be some meth
cd by which society could protect it.

The proposal to increase the salary
of John A. Mccall, president of the
New York Life Insurance Co., S25, ,000

be made, says the New York Press.
Mr.. Mccall first received $4,000 and
then $685. 600, his present pay. An adj
ditional S25, 900 will bring him in $780,
900 year and put him nearly in the
class of Messrs. McCurdy and Alex
ander. The former receives annually
from the Mutual Life Company $780,
900 and perquisite of $4,000. James
w. Alexander's arrangement with
the Equitable Life Co. is highly
agreeable to him. His salary is $780,
600 year, and in addition he receives
