COMING STRIKES.

It Is not only the strike upon the
Great Northern railway system which
is scheduled to occur soon. but Of 9TH
ers, ALSO that are to occur from time to
time, to accomplish the ends sought by
the high strike authorities, and by the
walking delegates who do the open work,
that we would speak. TO the multitude
Of common people who judge by what
they see and hear, it is cause Of wonder
and surprise that an immense body Of
employees Of the Great Northern Railway
company who are being paid all they
ask, and with their families happily To-
Gated, and with the most agreeab BILE re-
lations existing with the companys off,
Gals. should permit themselves to be
drawn or voted into serious strike over
question or point that don't amount
to shucks to them; into contest likely
to cost the employees their positions, and
consequently the loss of their homes,
which they cannot afford. and on the eth
er hand may cost the company many mil
lions Of dollars which it can afford. be-
cause all such losses or burdens Will be
figured into the company's expense ac-
count to be paid by the future shippers
.on the line-the ultimate end Of all
charges, and in making which payments,
he farmer has the lions share.
But in blissfyul ignorance Of his burden
some connection with the exciting game.
very many Of the farmers are constantly
sympathizinC with the strikers, mainly
because one Of the parties is a corpora
ion.
But passing by TINS threatened strike
upon the Great Northern company with
its probable bad results upon the coun-
try, it would be well for the farmers
and especially the large farmers Of West
ern Minnesota and the two Dakotas, to
understand that in the epidemic Of strikes
which is upon the country, those farm
ers may be hit directly as well as in
directly. AS prelude to the game that
will interest them. quite number of
them during last wheat harvest season
were confronted with the ''walkinE dele
gate among their harvesting crews who
readily acceded to demanding an extra
dollar or half dollar per day-a demand
there was no resisting. When such or
ganized movements cover the country,
and the demands are 80 exorbitant as
to absorb all profit in the crop, then the
striking business will not be amusing to
farmers nor to those who depend upon
trade with farmers. 1t makes difference
whose OK is being gored. AS the epidemic
spreads, the employers Of smaller num-
bers Of men will be threatened. That Is
not all. When there is adopted system
under which those who have nothing
combine against those who have excessive
wealth. the popularity Of the thing
spreads, and the ground between those
making the raid to grab what they have
not earned. and those who are COM
PEELED to resist and fight to keep what
they have earned will become very mar
row, and in short time people OF or
linary means may have struggle to
save themselves from organized plumber.
Old7fashioned law will be found iE end
safer than the combinations Of to-day

The Rich Man.

He had a gem of wondrous light
Whose ray would pierce the darkest
night,
Experience" his jewel.
He purchased 1t with blood and tears,
The sacrifice Of wasted years
And with privations cruel.
Before his mortal race was run
lie tried to give it to his son;
Twas scornfully rejected;
He tried to give it to the world,
But every lip derisive curled
And none the gift respected.
He had some gold-its cost was small.
A markets fleeing rise or fall
A cheaply bought concession;
The harpies gathered round his bed,
Before his final breath had sped
And fought to gain possession.

YOUNG AMERICANS ABROAD.
No Longer Find It Wise to Get Eduea.
ton in European Schools.

If we knew little about the older
generations of American men, we GER
tainly know less about the young
American man; it almost seems to us
as if he did not exist, for he but rarely
comes to England. He occasionally
goes to Elton, or perhaps for short
time to one of the universities. but
Americans are beginning to realize
that man not only gains little but
loses much by being educated out of
his country, among traditions and Gus
toms which he does not understand,
for which he has no sentiment and
from whose influence the whole of his
future life must separate him. There
is no advantage to an American boy,
who is to 60 back to his country and
remain an American, to come over
here to school, while the implied SUI
periority of an English over an Amer
lean school is slight on his country.
There seemed possibility few years
ago of American boys being sent to
England to be educated at some of our
public schools, but the fashion has
changed, probably because the patriot
ism of America could not tolerate its
young men being brought up under
foreign traditions and associations.
The American young man is mostly
seen, so far as foreigners are con-
cerned, at German watering places,
and no one would admit more readily
than his compatriots that he is not
seen there at his best. The life OF
German watering place does not de-
velop the finest qualities of either men
or women, and where there is nothing
to do but loaf about" young man
does not shine.-Lady Jeune in Col.

the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh.
Catarrh infames the mucous membrane

of mucous This discharge of mucous is the
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces
