people and covers nearly two large city

Of Paris. Though this store has been.
In existence for many years it was not
until 1865 that it attracted attentions
and not until several years later that
the present magnificent building was oc-*
cupied. 7~ 8
" In 1853, Mr.. Boucicault became sole
proprietor. Previous to this he had:
been a partner for some ten years. Mr..
Bouccicault and his wife both possessed
splendid business ability, and at once

sssEhespeoplesInayE get
false ideas concerning any al ference,
and for a time Justice may be delayed,
but in the end public opinion will con-
troll. Therefore we say that in so far
as any employers union attempts to run
counter to public opinion. 1T will fail,
just as any trades union in the same
attitude would fail.
The sanest word that has been said
on the subject comes from the pen of
president Samuel Gompers of the Am
erican Federation of Labor. It is as fol-
lows:
If capital organizes to repress labor
and to prevent the betterment of con-
ditions, labor will find the way to meet
the situation. The reasons actuating
the men who are alleged to be behind
the scheme of organization have been
variously given in the public prints.
There has been so much variance that
it is impossible to know what the real
object of such an organization is.
eff the object of organization Of en-
ployers of labor is to secure the bet
terment of conditions to effect closer
union between employers and employees;
if these men propose to be conciliatory
and meet labor and labor organizations
in that spirit, they will find labor or
ganizations quite willing to meet them
! in the same conciliatory spirit.
IF however, the purpose Of this or
ganization is to combine to secure
greater power to crush our working
men, and to prevent them it possible,
from securing the rights that belong
to them, not only as worl<ingmen, but
as American citizens, then organized
labor will meet this organization in
the right way. 1t has nothing to fear
on that score and will show it's worth
If such struggle is precipitated by the
| employers of labor.
/ '"The whole country knows that la
| Dor is anxius for friendly relations with
| capital and with those who employ la
Dor. Trade organizations have always
| gone more than half way to maintain
conditions that would obiviate friction.
We propose to continue that way, for
whenever capital has shown a disposi-
tion: to meet us, we have always gladly
availed ourselves of a friendly method
of settling a controversy. The wealth.
producing class of the country, the men
who create the output: Of Americas
industries, are entitled to their fair
share Of the profit, and the conditions
surrounding the laboring man: and the
mechanic must continue to improve for
the standard of today cannot remain
| the stan and of tomorrow.

EMPLOYERS UNIONS,

Some trade unfonists are alarmed by
the gigantic combinations of employers
recently formed to deal with the con-
dltions arising out Of the growth of
trade unions throughout the land. They
see in this movement source OF in
evftable conflict; to them, the industrial
forces are already massing for a strug-
gle which will involve the whole coun-
try and will settle for all time the issue
between capital and labor. From the
view point of these pessimists, the or
ganization of these associations mean
the checking OF union progress and the
preventing Of further concessions on the
part of employers.
For us the movement has no such
serious meaning. In all probability the
object primarily in view is. resistance
to the demands Of organized labor. No
doubt labor will be defeated in just de-
mands by the formation Of these asso-
Citations, although such instances can
not be many or serious. We are certain
that such is the state Of public opinion
IN this country, that no association,
either of workingmen or capitalists can
long resist militant public sentiment;

room for it in New York. Time Island of MManhattan is too narrow for it. It would take up so much room in the street-cars as to neutralize all the re- lief that we expect to get from the tun- mel. There are those already who main- tain that the true solution of the rapid transit problem in New York is to for
 bid women to ride in the street-cars. If crinOline came, this arrogant suggestion might find serious support. For, of course, if once the carriage-ladies adop-
 ted it, and the thing was fairly accept
 ed as the mode, all womankind would
 wear it, and in a short time a modest woman would not feel decent without it. The chief end of fashion is not adorn- ment, of the cultivation of beauty, or
 anything of that sort. It is the promo tion of trade. The design is to make all
 womemn who can possibly afford it throw aside, at least once year, all

POSSIBILITIES OF cR1NoLINE.

Rumors are renewed that women who hang up their stockings this year will find crinolines in them We don't be- lieve it. It is explained, by the way, that crinoline now prescribed is not the old hoopskirt around the rim of which our civil war was fought, but modified figure having similar intentions and an- alogous results. Modified or not, crino- line won't do. The old hoopskirt was one of the most imperishable of manu- factured commodities. It could be dis carded, but not destroyed. From the closet it went to the garret, and from the garret to the ash-heap, and from the ash-heap to the next place. But it nev. CT perished; and finally it was picked up and hung on a fencepost to get it out of the way. Oh, no! Let us not have crinoline back. There is certainly not
