Certain Old Maxims.

lem-QuOtes Uncle Remus' Re-
view of HIS Book.

Longfellow said: ''All things come
round to them who wait" Emerson
said the same thing in substance be-
fore Longfsllow. Both got it from
the Prophet Isaiah, who said: wait,
l say, wait on the Lord, for though
He tarry, He will fulfill His prom
ises." And Jeremiah said: "Let a
man hope and quietly wait" We are
all too impatient, and if we look back,
we will be surprised that we cannot
recall the numerous things that dis
turbed our peace through apprehen-
sion, but that never happened. We
did not wait.
There is good story about an old
Persian king, who, on his death-bed,
sent for an old sheik. his lifelong
friend and counselor, and said: IL
am about to die. and am troubled
about my son, who is to succeed me.
He is good-hearted, but thought
less and imprudent. You must look
after him and guide him. Can't you
give him maxim to live by, and
that he will never iorget?" So the
old sheik promised, and after the old
king was buried he had long talk
with the young man, and gave him a
maxim OF five short words: Even
this shall pass away" If you suf-
fer adversity, it will pass. If you
have war, and are defeated, victory
will come in time. If your people suf-
fer from famine or pestilence,
health and plenty will come again.
But you must wait.
l was ruminating about this, be-
cause the printers have gone to work,
at last, and my publisher has plenty
of books now. But the time is com
ing when all this foolishness will
have to stop. l take an Australian
paper, and am interested in what the
new parliament is doing.
England has recently given that
great country parliament of their
own, and they are making laws to
suit the people. One of the first
was to grant to woman the right of
suffrage. Another was a vigorous,
drastic law against strikes, and the
law has completely driven labor or

lament provided substantial pen
sion for the families of those who
had labored long and faithfully. Rail
roads and manufacturers were taxed
to pay part of this pension, but par
lament had to approve it all, and the
new law provides that any laborer
who joins strikers organiza ton
shall be dropped from the rolls, and
1T further provides that if more than
four persons meet together to or
ganize strike, they shall be arrest
ed and imprisoned and tried for
crime. The law was far-reaching,
and left no escape, and now peace
and contented labor prevails all over
the land, and the price of their labor
on railroads and other great works
is fixed by law, and is uniform. The
truth is that this striking business,
that drives others from work, un-
der maltreatment and intimidation.
cannot stand the test of time and
reason. 1t is close akin to anarchy.

Joint Committees Report Did
Not Meet With Favor Of
HOrSsShOorS' Union.

After the meeting OF the striking horse
shoers yesterday II was thought that the
dispute between the journeymen and the
masters was in fair way Of settlement.
The joint committee from the Central
union, the masters and the journeymen
had reported that all was now smooth.
and the men might go to work soon
as joint committee had found out how
many men the masters would take back
and under what terms they would take
them back. This committee was composed
OF one man each from the j. II. T., G.
L. ". and one from the masters.
In the face of that fact Agent Hackett
decided that an independent committee
from the strikers canvass the shops This
committee found that the masters wished
the strikers 10 apply for reinstatement
fair by Mr.. Hackett and the body so
that affairs are again at a standstill and
the joint committee Is in Quandary.
While these various committees were on
the round OF tho shops the Central Trades
and Labor committee was called up over
the phone and requested that the COM
mittee OF the horseshoers be withdrawn
from their canvass. So that now there
It looks as II the tight Is hotter than ever
Agent Hackett seems TO feel that the
masters wish the men TO apply individual
ly despite the vote OF the union TO the
contrary.
Tonight al 8 o'clock. there will be an
other special meeting at which time there
will be some warm discussions.
