STRIKES AND WAGES.

IT ABOR, by its unreasonable de-
IL mands, is killing the goose that
lays the golden egg. One reason why
there are so many strikes is because
wages are already so high that tie
average laborer can live on half his pay,
or what amounts to the same thing,
can live on half his time, and instead
OF laying up for old age, wastes his sur
pins in strikes. There can be no per-
marent prosperity for this country
under these conditions. No where in
the world is labor so we'll paid as in
the United States. The laborcr here,
with prudence, temperance and econ.
omy, can both live and accumulate.
But these conditions arc not neces-
sarily permanent. England and Ger
many are creeping up. They are
adopting onr business plans and in
vensions. With their lower wages
and more economical methods they
will outstrip us in the worlds trade.
They will surely do this unless we
meet them in the cost OF production.
Here is the menace to American labor.
Capital will not continue its daring
expenditure in factories and mines
with the sword OF strike and boycott
ever suspended welded. Peace aud
freedom in the management Of its
business is prime essential to the
life and expenditure Of capital. The
extortions OF American labor, aged
on by salaiied agitators, and the de-
mand under penalty of strike and boy
colt OF more than business can afford
will eventually produce shift in the
worlds trade from which American
labor will suffer most severely.

THE PLOWnAN.

With sturdy hands the plowman holds
The handles OF the pillow;
His trousers hung in baggy folds,
And burrows mark his brow.
But with the hope that tOiling brings
He labors on, out there,
Where Natures putting on the things
That help to nuke aer fair.
The plowman's shoulders droop, his eyes
Have no exuitant fire,
And oft he straightens up and signs.
Perhaps for something higher.
He scrapes the damp earth from his boots,
And then goes Flooding on.
And now and tlen bumps into roots
That jar him, pro and con.
The plowman does not fret because
Some stock has had a slump,
But, gripping hard. he sets his jaws
And runs against stump,
Or worries till the rein is free
From the gray mares tail.
Or turns little while to see
The chipmunk on the rail.
The smell of burning wood floats by
Upon the tranquil air;
The crow sits with watchfui eye,
Overlooking things out there.
The plowman scents the sweet, fresh earth
He murmurs, "Gce, there. Fan!'
And tolls away for all he's worth
To feed his fellow man.
There with the hope that toiling brings.
The plowman works away.
And, may be. dreams OF splendid things
That he shall have some day.
But sweetest Of the joys he knows
Is that which comes to sit
Within his breast when sunset shows
Him that it's time to quit.

MODERN NEWSPAPERDOM.

COLONEL A. X. MCCLURE, retir-
~ ing from the Philadelphia Times
after forty years as newspaper man,
told his friends at banquet Of the
progress made in his profession dur
ing his term in service. Among other
thirgs he noted the passing OF the
editorial quarrel. This is really the
greatest improvement that has been
made in newspapers in the twenty
years last past. Quarrelling has gone
encirely out of fashion in reputable
newspaper Offices. The paper that
picks out paragraphs or pieces OF para
graphs Of its contemporaries and COM
ments meanly upon them, is as sure
to fail as q merchant who neglects to
pay his bills or advertiee in his home
paper.
An unfair editor, who is unfair to
his brother editor, will cheat his ad-
veitisers. will he unfair to his help,
will not tell the truth about simple
matters, and usually does not remain
very long in one place.
lnstinctively the people know this.
They are afraid to trust the unfair
mans paper, and though he may
make the profess on OF fairness his
stock in trade, as he always does, yet
the people know that the man who
will neat his competitors unfairly will
be unfair in other business relations
Have you ever noticed that a dead
beat is always spreading stories about
his neighbors? Well, quarrelsome
editor does not tell the truth.
The habit of lying vitiates all his
relations of life, and the business
world demands the truth. 1t annihi.
lates liar.
So the process OF humiliation weeds
out qnarrelsome editors, till fighting
is no longer fashionable in the news
paper profession.
The editor who "goes after" his op-
ponent fails, if his opponent "gces
after" the news.
Why should a newspaper keep ham
mering away at it's rivals?
The world is getting much cleaner,
much kinder, much more strict IN de-
manding fairness and good conduct
from everyone.

TRUE TO THE CORE.

HTHE Portsmouth co. Press thinks
Il the following is the reason why
the farmers lot seems to be cart on
such lard lines: We pay too much
for unnecessaries and do without the
things we most need. We waste our
ashes and man ures and buy CONNER
cial fertilizers. We sell hides and buy
shoe strings and hame strings. We
let our wood ashes leach by rain and
buy soap and axle grease. We let our
timber rot and b,iy Ak handles and
pillow handles. We waste the wax OF
our pine trees and buy chewing gum
Tor Our boys and girls. We buy a ten
dollar dog and twenty dollar gun
and start out fifty cent boy to hunt
rabbits. We buy a hundred dollar
organ and hire a teacher to teach II
dollar girl music. We sell our wool
and buy stockings and blankets. We
start out ten cent boy with a two
dollar fishing rod to catch twelve cents
worth OF fish. We buy twenty dollar
bicycle for ten doilau boys and girls to
develop their muscles. We unhitoh,
as if going TO dinner, and let machin.
cry rust and rot in the field, necsssitat-
ing new the next year. We train our
girls how to appear in society and not
in the kitchen. In short, our outlay
exceeds our income.

DECEIVED HER HUSBAND.

working in the street in the center OF

tires drove rapidly up to him, and be-
fore he knew what was happening a
sack was placed over his head and he
was thrust into the vehicle. After a

was wall with a large hole in it, and
through this the face OF woman,
livid from fright, peered forth. He
was called upon by the masked man
who had accompanied him to fill IN
the hole, a revolver being pointed at
him during the operation. With
trembling hands he completed the
work, walling in Mahommedan
woman who had deceived her hus-
band. When he had conf leted the
work a mask was again placed over
his head, he was conveyed once more
to the carriage, and after a while re.

woman. But all attempts to find the
