them subject to my own control. the conclusion I have arrived at is that the American workmen do not work so hard as the men in England. They have to be attentive in guiding operations and quick in manipulating levers and simi- Iarly easy work. They are also much more desirous of getting out large quantities than in England. They are better paid and more regular in their attendance at the works, loss of time through drinking habits or otherwise not being tolerated
 According to the London Statist. the importance of the human factor has been deeply impressed upon all the members of the Commission, and it addsI What the American admires and honors is the ability to do; that capacity in a man, through his own sagacity, nerve, enterprise and skill, to create and employ fortune. Nobody is above his work. Everybody works for the sake of work, and thus has been produced in America within a generation an indus trial potentiality more wonderful and more to be feared than all the factories and machinery and plants" that these workers have created.

SOME QUEER TALK.

President Baer of the coal combina- ton has opened his mouth and put his foot in it. He said: The rights and interests of the laborlng man will be protected and cared for-not by the la bor agitators. but by the Christian men to whom God in His infinite wisdom has given the control of the property in- terests of the country, and upon the successful management of which 50 much depends. Do not be discouraged Pray earnestly that right may triumph always remembering that the Lord God omnipotent still reigns, and that His reign is one of law and order. and not of violence and crime
 We suppose President Baer really meant this. He would hardly have been so unwise as to say it if he didn'+ And he probably can't see now why it has struck people in the way it has, or why any good Christian should see any, thing wrong in it. But he has entirely ignored the fact that there are Chris tians among the laboring men who hope that their God will take care of them as we'll as of Brother Baer. There are also many who are not Christian who resent the idea that the Christians God is especially the God of the rich and the powerful. Brother Baer should talk less or talk better.

coon UNIFIED STATES MEN,

The commission appointed by the British Iron Trade Association to visit the United States and study the meth ods employed in it's great iron and steel manufacturing establishments has re- gently made a report. The commission admits the superiority of the United States in this particular line of industry and attributes it not to any great ad- vantages in plant" and machinery, or novel economical conditions, but to the quality of "the men behind the guns" Itis pointed out that labor in the United States is both the dearest and the cheapest to be found in the world at present-the dearest when the nominal daily rate of wages is considered and the cheapest as regards the results pro- duced. MT. James, one of the members of the commission, says: The workmen at American mills are generally suppos- ed to be working much harder than they do in this country (England), but this is not my own view After much conversation with many men in various branches who had been employed in similar works in England, and some Of

PR0GRESS IN EMPORTA.

Kansas has had such luck with its corn this year that it feels able to tackle almost anything. It is, there fore, not surprising to read that the local band at Emporia, Kansas, has tackled selections from "Tannhauser. D It got through them in pretty good shape, according to it's own notion, but one listener wrote to the local paper to say that he would give dollar to any, body who would honestly testify that he liked the music. Another asserted that "Tannhauser," even if rendered by the best orchestra, was music mot so very good at the best" and as rendered by the Emporia band was horrible" |" He adds: ''There are places in Tam hauser' that remind us of quarrel in a saloon, and, finally, the saloon keeper and his bouncer throw lot of drunken men out of the window, taking the sash with them"
 Even though there is a difference of opinion about "Tannhauser" in En- poria there can be no doubt that the action of the band and the discussion which followed it were good things. Music and musical criticism are good for any place. It is to be hoped that the Emporia band will continue its branching out If it does it may by and by be rewarded by having it's efforts described in some other way than "hor- rible" and like "a quarrel in saloon"

HTR. CLEMENT WANTS TO KNOW.

Mh' CLEM ENI WANTS TO KNOW, Vermont is usually a quiet State po- litically, but it is noisy enough this year MT. Clement, the Independent
 candidate for governor, isn't going about exactly as roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, but he is roaring
 some. For instance, he has just made an offer to open his books for the in- spection of his campaign expenditures,
 and he has called upon Gen.
 eral Mccullough, the Republican candidate. to do the same He further says: am anxious to
 know who paid the $500 to the fire com-
 panies of Middlebury, who furnished
 the money which was paid to voters in
 that town at the time the Republican caucus was held there. wish to know who paid voters at New Haven Junc- ton to support Mccullough delegates in
 the Republican caucus, who redeemed | the brass checks which were issued to voters in Bristol, and how much such
 redemption cost, who cashed the checks
 which were issued to supporters of Me- Cullough in Vergennes, who paid for
 the beer which was furnished at the
 Mccullough clubs in Burlington, who
 furnished the corruption fund which
 was used in support of Mccullough in
 that city, St. Albans, and other towns
 in the State.
 As MT. Clement isn't likely to be gov- | ernor we hope he will have the satis- faction of finding out who did the things | that are worrying him. They are dread full things to do, and whoever did them should be mercilessly exposed. If MT.
 Clement can get right answers to his
 conundrums he will perhaps be as great
 a benefactor of his State as he would be if he were governor of it.

There has been remarkable growth of the cottonseed-oil industry within the last six months, as is shown by the number of new mills erected. In that time 117 of them were established throughout the country, representing a capital of $5,225,O0 There are now in operation five hundred mills, with an investment of $5OOOO,OOO, as against for ty in 1880, with an investment of $3,5O0,- 000. When the fact is considered that the industry is based on what was a few years ago regarded as waste pro- duct the development is indeed remark able, and the industry will continue to grow, for there is steady demand at good prices for all the cottonseed oil that is made in the South, but while the product of the mills is worth about $50,000,o00 annually, it will yield much larger profit when more attention is given to refining the oil, much of which is now shipped to Europe, where it un- dergoes refining process and is sent back to this country and sold as olive oil at prices three, times greater than those of the crude oil.

The Chinese know how to be polite. Their politeness is illustrated in one of their own tales, in which a visitor is represented as calling in his best clothes, and seated in the reception room awaiting the arrival of his host. IA rat that had been prying in a jar of oil on rafter above, frightened at the Intrusion of the caller, ran away, and in so doing upset the oil jar, which fell on the visitor, saturating his elegant robes with oil. Just as the face of the guest was purple with rage, the host entered, when the proper salutations were per- formed, after which the guest pro- ceeded to explain the situation: "As I entered your honorable apartment and seated myself under your honorable beam, I inadvertently terrified your honorable rat, which fled and upset your honorable oil jar upon my insig- nifcant person, which is the reason of my contemptible appearance in your honorable presence

The increased interest in public school education in Georgia is illustrat- ed by the attendance on the State Nor nal School, which opened it's annual session at Athens the other day. On the opening day about four hundred teachers registered, being three times larger than ever before. It is said no educational movement in Georgia ever compared with this record. President Branson, in his opening remarks, refer red to the fact that it had become nec- essary for the faculty to go out and ask citizens living near the school to open their homes to a large number of stu dents. The dormitory capacity of the school was overrun, and accommoda- tions could not be found for sixty teachers. Places for them, however, were found in the homes of citizens.

: If MT. Craddock, the Democratic can- Sdidate for governor of Kansas, is elected he will do some great things For instance, he will reduce the taxes of the people one-half. At Seneca, the other day, he described the methods by which he would bring this wonderful thing about. At present." he said, X the ordinary property of Kansas is as- sessed at about ssOo,Ooo.0OO. The rail- roads and other public service corpora tions are considered to be worth $60O,- 00O, GOO, and we will assess them at 50 per cent. of this and put them on the tax rolls at $SOO,oOO,oOo.

124,1OO, against 1O5, 700 last week, 49,
600 a year ago and 1885, 500 two years
ago.
Arrivals for the cattle trade last
week were 1000 head lighter than the
week before and more than $4,000 head
short of the run n year ago.. An ar
gument of oversupply as the cause of
last weeks break in values Will there
fore not hold. All dealers recognized
the break at 25@40 cents from the
rrices of the week before, the bulk OF
which occurred on Wednesday, was u
directly to the attack upon the dressed
meat industries and the reduction in
consumption of meats due to the preJu-
dice that has arisen therefrom. Early
in the week prime 1,492-pound rande
steers sold up to $40. On Thursday a
cut of the same cattle from the same
Nebraska feed lot, averaging fourteen
pounds heavier, sold at 81. And it
would take something extremely fancy
to land above that figure now. Possibly
twenty-five loads of good, fat steers are
locked UP in the pens to go over for
this weeks market, and there is the
Usual supply of about 1,500 stockers
and feeders which went over in h
hands of the yard dealers, tho the trade
in stockers and feeders was relatively
good last, weeks owing to the heavy
rains that fell over most of the western
late last week.
