s5.ooo,oo Hampersd By A Few.

Judge Gary's logic is sound to the core. Nothing could stop this coun- try's material progress if labor, cap ital and the people were to pull one way.
 With greater soil output than France, Germany and England combined, with more than double the railroad mileage of all three of them together. and with a population 50 per cent, greater than the largest of them, the United States as a trade competitor has outdistanced every rival
 Thus country long ago cutstripped all others in the world in wealth and is now richer by $50, ,000, 900, 900 than any other people. We have the materials to work with and the men to work them.
 The only thing that stands in the way of another period of unexampled progress Is lack of genuine harmony between the interests of labor and the interests of capital. More important, however, than even this absence of harmony is the continued hostility toward business enterprise. The assurance that such antagonism was dead in every legislative and con gressional bosom in America would instantly start this land on its new course of greatness.
 What a shame that mistaken Zeal can so hamper the the welfare of 95,- 100000 people !-Pittsburgh Ledger.

After a while Big Bill" Haywood ought to win a certain sort of crude re- spect for the American courts. Twice, when put to the test, have his rights been afeguarded-twice have courts set him free.-Pittsfield Eagle.
 Little did that hitherto unknown woman, Mrs. Wakefield, realize when with her paramour she killed her hus- band that she was thus starting herself on the road to become a national figure. The way to fame is uncertain. Hartford Courant
 Mild fall weather gives the ice man a rest, but it is the hope of everyone that the cutting gangs will be ready for busi- ness when the early cold snaps solidify the ponds. Waterbury Republican.
 The new international map of the heavens notes over 3o,oooooo stars. No wonder the young people have to spend so much time star gazing these bright autumn evenings. -Hartford Post.
 Eggs will be seven cents apiece this month, it is reported from the produce market. Hens eggs are rapidly becom- ing as scarce as the proverbial hens teeth, it would seem.-Bridgepor Stand ard.
 Farmers could do rushing business, particularly through the parcel post, if they would advertise their products in nearby towns. They could develop a trade that would pay special prices rather than buy through middlemen. The classified ads are a time saver and a money saver.-Bridgepcrt Farmer.
 It looks as if the boys would again be imposed on by making them attend Sun day school four weeks to get Christmas present on the tree.-New Haven Union.

ANNOUNCEM ENT.

The editor of The News plans to be absent from hls post, on purely personal business. for the next two weeks. Two good men will fill his place in The News sanctum-the Reverends E. 0. Gillette, (Pilgrim,) and l.. B. Travis, (Methodist) It is not intended to be inferred that it takes two good men to fill the editors place, but it has been deemed meet and proper, in deference to MT. Parsons, the business manager, (Methodist,) and Miss Roger, the book-keeper. (Pilgrim,) to balance the substitute staff with their respective pastors, split even on the orthodoxy, and at the same time make sure that the moral tone of this whole some family journal will be maintained. The good men consented to the arrange ment, with characteristic cheerfulness, several weeks ago.
 How they will divide the work be- tween them we do not know--that's up to them. Possibly they may not an- nounce the apportionment. If they don t it will be easier for each to blame the other for any possible delinquency that may occur. Possibly, too, they may take notion to inveigle the Rev. Mr. Mills. the rector of Christ Church, into the temporary editorial partnership and keep the editor away another week.
 There is no doubt that the readers will appreciate and enjoy the change even though it be only temporary. And we are confident The News will not suffer. in readableness or human interest while our dearly beloved brethren are at the hellum.
