City Wages.


Lecturers on economics, socialists
and the various types of men who are
dissatisfied with the way the present
commercial system is working and
who hope to make it better, assert
that manual labor should be paid just
as high wages as mental and creative
exertion. Creative effort is stimulat-
ing and pleasant 10 itself, and manual
labor is deadening to the nerves and
higher sensibilIties. Yet the man
who labors on the roads. or cares for
horses, or lays railroad ties is serving
the community and performing an
essential part OF the labor OF the
world. He is entitled to as large a
wage for his labor as the man who
writes books, or invents, or paints, or
breaches and little to boot, because
creative labor is joy 10 itself. The
artist or the author is an artist or an
author because God made him so.
and it is not fair for him to claim
wages for anothers work. Indis-
putably most Of the work Of the world
is manual and only the occasional
man has been presented at birth with
more than enough brains to do rou.
tine work. Therefore there is force
in the contention that it is not fair
that the most OF US shall be in sub.

The process is SO cheap that the poor
man can have as warm a house as the
richest. Mr.. Edison says that by the
new process the cement can be sold
cheaper than stone or brick or wood.
Therefore it will stop the demolition
of the forests.

product Of our labor is as necessary 10
the life and happiness Of the genii as
theirs to US.
But these questions involve the
whole economic and social system
now in operation. 1t is not for the
council 70 settle them or to accept as
a basis Of legislation any other sys.
TEN than the one under which they
were elected. This being so, there is
great improperly in paying fremen
larger wages than private parties are
paying them. The citizen who rep

lars a year himself. Obviously then.
it is unjust for the council to force
him to pay more than the price OF a
freman in the open market. At the
most the city can employ but few men
and by paying fancy wages to them the
council forces the large number un.
employed by the city to bear more
than their share OF city maintenance.
The council was elected in good faith
by the citizens OF Lincoln to admin
lister, in connection with the mayor,
its affairs. Some members OF the
council are allowing pique against
the mayor to interfere with a wise
administration. Such conduct is Of
fensive to the citizens. 1t is Of no
consequence to citizens whether coun-
cilmen Lyman and Pentzer like the
mayor or not. II is of importance
that they confer together without
prejudice concerning the business of
the city. To be sure the influence of
an employed man in an election is
three times greater than that of a
man to whom the election Of Tom is
no more than the election Of Harry.
And it may be that this reasoning is
influencing certain members Of the
council. But there are more tax
payers in this city than tax consum-
ers and their interest in the next cleo.
tion may be aroused by judicious
advertising.

The Quality Of Mercy.

The treatment Of animals by the
butchers of Lincoln is not a pleasant
subject to consider. 1t is the habit
Of one butcher to dislocate the wings
Of fowls brought to him and then
throw them down in heap together.
The agony Of such position is worse
than the thumb.rack. Butchers are
callous because Of their calling. They
regard the animals they sell as the
carpenter regards his lumber. They
dispose Of them to suit their own con.
venience and pay no attention to the

So The Curriers' advice to the youth

not to be easily frightened by the re-
Elections Of the self-satisfied old ladies

The senior classes know very well
that their school experience has not
been all enjoyment. They can tell
very well that the speakers do not
know what they are talking about,
that they have forgotten the weari-
someness OF the school routine and
the vexatiOn OF never having their
own way. Senior classes are in re.

eagerness that the croakers cannot

man or woman just graduated has, in

afraid that the world will not find

college graduates who are conceited,
but they were born conceited. Col

rather schoOled it. Your self-made
man is your real egoist. 1t is as ap.
parently insincere for the successful
business man to commiserate the
graduates upon getting through
school as for an officer to coLgratu-
late the privates that they are still
in the ranks. or for a member of the
senior class at West Point to felici-
tate tortured plebe upon his i'm.
mediate prospects. These few hints
to the orators who are preparing the
usual CUFF for the classes will have no
effect upon the product. The disease
is too old, too deeply fixed in the ora

The Order of Don't KNOCK.

A "knocker" is an individual who
is continually reviling or gossiping
about the people who are unfortu.
nate enough to be numbered among
his acQuaintances. Buffalo, where
that silly, guzzling, hold-up society
of the "BuffalOes" was lately organ
lied, has started something worth
while perhaps in extenuation. In
yeterate, confirmed knockers" are
rare. We have too much to do to
spend all our time doing evil. For
very novelty we occasionally say
good word Of our neighbor or our
friend. But the temptation to tell
an interesting bit Of gossip to friend
who may reciprocate with just as
good story is persistent. A regular
"knocker" who talks scandal for the
sake of injuring someone is rare.
Habitues of afternoon teas and card
parties, clubmen and the village loaf.
ers repeat scandalous stories for the
love Of tattlipg and not to be cruel.
But the victims squirm as though We
had tied them to the stake because We
enjoy writhing. The object Of the
new society is to encourage the virtue
Of silence when our neighbours faults,
or escapades are referred to. In
place the size of Lincoln, where every
body is almost as we'll acquainted as
the members Of one family, where the
scions Of families have intermarried
to such an extent that the "knOcker'
is obliged to select his items with
great care, the order of "Don't
Knock" should be Immediately estab-
lished. The object and creed Of the
order are herewith reprinted:
