fine fettle month or 50 hence when he
feels the warm, sweet breath of spring and
sees the grass growing greener every day
and trees putting forth their first feathery
leaves. There Is no resisting the impulse to
get out and dig In the freshly thawed soil.
For the Industrious man knows that for
every stroke he puts into his self-appointed
task as gardener he will reap a harvest in
pleasure-gfving flowers and lawn.
The callouses ON the palm that come from
coal heaving stand for a grim duty. Those
that come from the hoe and the rake and

New York's Strike.

A street car strike in the city of New
York is something always to be dreaded.
SO vast is the multitude of people carried
by the surface, elevated and subway lines
and so dependent is the great community
upon these lines of communication. If they
are absolutely prevented from operation the
metropolis suffers tremendous money loss
and through it the business interests of the
whole country are affected disastrously in
consequence. If. on the other hand the
owning corporations try to operate their
lines despite the refusal of their regular
hands to work the danger to the public Is
serious. In the present case, with the over
head and underground lines subject to a
general strike. and only the surface lines
in full operation. the conditions in New
York are only one remove from being both
extremely dangerous and heavily expensive.
Already. with the PETERBOROUGH Company.
which owns the two systems affected by
the strike. which carry the great bulk of
the passengers, trying to manage its lines
with green hands, there has been not only
a thoroughly demoralized and inadequate
service, but collision in the subway due
to the inexperience of motorman. Thirty
persons were badly hurt, and one at least
lost his life
The strike is the result of failure of nego-
dations between the operating company
and representatives of the workers. the lat
ter demanding first the abolition of all
physical tests in the employment of motor
men. shorter hours for the motormen and
shorter hours and a 10 per cent increase
OF pay for all other operatives. The COM

The War.
From the New York Tribune.

1t Is not mere battle. 1t is whole
campaign that is being fought out around
the sacred city of the Manchus. The num-
Der of troops involved, the area Of territory
covered and the variety and complexity of
the strategic movements are all upon
colossal scale. They surpass Leipsc and
Sedan and dwarf Waterloo. 1t may or may
not be the decisive and concluding battle of
the war, but there can be no doubt that the
commander who energies from it victorious
will have won title to a place among the
worlds great captains.

The True Standard.
From the Nashville American

From the Nashville American.
The worlds greatest henefactors have
been men who lived and cied poor in ma
terial wealth. The scholar. the patriot, the
statesman, the artist, the, scientist the
teacher. the moral exampiar, these in the
greatness of their work make the mere
ney-grubber seem meanly small. There
is too much worship of wealth, but it is not
universal, and wealth itself is poor and
feeble as compared with the power of
thought and the spirit which moves men to
work toward the highest human ideals.

South Africa and elsewhere. But so long
