ROOFERS AND LAWSON mere fact of the Chinese striking will bring the tobacco firm to do as the Celestials wish, our fear is that the love of the almighty dollar will influence them to obey the command of the coolies. The object they strike for will thus be obtained. They will rejoice over it as a victory and it will encourage them to continue to strike to attain any ends which they mav desire. The Kitchen.

Minced ham and eggs, the former broiled and the latter hard, has been introduced as a new breakfast dish. Custard is in high favor among dyspeptics, because of some physicians' orders, and also continues to be held in greatest esteem among children. "Snow potatoes are mashed and then put through a colander, which gives them a light and fluffy look. They have been quite the thing at Newport dinner parties. There is now the usual amount of newspaper literature current as to the best mode of cooking and eating reed birds a bit of game, by the way, that has different names in different places.

Stewed white beans, now looked upon as a common dish, were a delicacy with Alexander in Asia, and historians say were a discovery of one of his best, and consequently favorite cooks.

In 1881 the load on most roads had increased to 40,000 pounds, but the weight of the car had increased to only 22,000. The master car-builders of the Pennsylvania road have now adopted cars to carry 60,000 pounds, while the weight of the cars will be very little increased. Instead of hauling one pound of car to one pound of 'freight, nearly three poundr of freight can be hauled to one pound of car. The substitution of steel for iron rails has made the change possible. Does boycotting pay? If we look at the number of rich and influential firms which have defied organized labor, and see to what straits they have been brought, in a few short months, we would most emphatically remark that it does not pay those who are boycotted! But it has declared excellent dividend to those who, in a just cause, have taken up this weapon to defend their trades from the encroachments gradually being made upon them.

The Detroit Tost, for four yeara a rat office, found its business so rapidly dwindling away before the frown of honest labor that it has declared from henceforth "rats" will be abolished. The State Journal company of Missouri, doing business in the penitentiary, employing as printers and pressmen the men who have been guilty of all grades of crime, found that boycotting did not pay, and they have indefinitely suspended, leaving even the convict labor unpaid. But the men who fought this battle to victory are well repaid in the consciousness of duty performed. There are others who are under the ban, and who will soon find that boycotting does not pay. It would be the part of good policy for them to come into the ark before the floods of wrath have entirely overwhelmed them.

Cardinal Manning on Shorter Hours. In a long sermon not long ago Cardinal Manning, of England, expressed himsel very forcibly in favor of shorter hours of labor. His language is thus: "I am one of those who are of the opin-inion that the hours of labor must be further regulated by law. If the one great aim of life were to multiply yards of cloth and cotton twist, and if the glory of England consists or consisted in multiplying without stint or limit these articles at the lowest possible price, so as to undersell all other nations of the world, well, then let us go on. But if the domestic life of the people be vital above all; if the peace, the purity of homes, the education of children, the duties of wives and mothers, the duties of husband and fathers, be written in the natural of mankind then I say if the hours of labor, resulting from the unregulated sale of a man's strength and skill, shall lead to the destruction of domestic life, to the neglect of children, to turning wives and mothers into living machines, and of fathers and husbands into creatures of burden the domestic life of men exists no longer; and we dare not go on in this patn." Thk TBADKS-Uirroki published every Saturday, morning, only $la year.

juvenile companies of soldiers, headed by a patriotic capitan who taught the tactics of war to the young soldiers and led them forth to mimic battle, and sometimes opposing forces would meet, when sanguinary encounters would take place and destruction came to the weaker battalion. These incipient soldiers were often well drilled and disciplined, from ideas they had picked up from the newspapers or in conversation with returned heroes. Something of this kind might be inaugurated among the youth in the peaceful battles for freedom which are now going on, not only in this country but all over the world. It has been suggested that apprentices be admitted to our unions when they first commence their trade and not after it is acquired, in order that they may be properly instructed in their occupation and in the proper application of union principles. We should go still further.

We should instill into the minds of our children the truths of unionism and the necessity of organization among workingmen. As juvenile temperance and other societies are now formed, there might be inaugurated lodges and assemblies of the sons of Knights of Labor; Sunday classes of boys among the working classes could be established, where the teachings of morality, and unionism could be happily blended, and a double purpose served. A system of home education could be established by which children could drink in the spirit of unionism with every breath, and partake of it with every meal. Text books could be prepared with reading and arithemetical lessons prepared on a basis of unionism and organization. The field of organization is now cultivated but slightly where the soil is the richest.

We must go to work with a subsoil plow, and dig deep, and plant seed in every portion of the land, that the harvest may be great. He Told the Truth. A tough-looking old chap stood shivering in the rain and wind at the ferry dock the other day. His every look and move showed the "vagrant, and by and by he summond courage to approach a citizen and say: "Mister, can't you spare me 10 cents?" "For what?" "To get a bite to eat." "Hump! If I were you I'd jump into the river and end my days. I've tried it, and they stop me." "Who?" "The police." "Bosh! They'd be glad of it!" "They would, eh! Here, you policeman, come over here!" There was an officer across the street, and he came over.

"Didn't I try to hang myself in the station the other night?" asked the vag. "You did." "Didn't I jump into the river this morning?" "Yes, sir, and I pulled you out." "Don't you believe I want to die?" "I certainly do." "Therel Was I lying?" demanded the vag as he turned to the citizen. "I told you I wanted to die, but they wont let me. What' am I going to do? I can't die because of the police, and I can't live without money." They made up a shake-purse of 60 cents for him, and he started off on a new career. He Remembered.

"And you pretend to say," remarked a lawyer to a witness, "that you remember the exact words this man said to you ten years ago?" "I do." "Well, if my memory serves me, I met you at Saratoga about five years ago, and I should like to know if you can swear to any expression which I then made." "lean." i'Now, Mr, I want you to remember that you are under oath. Now under oath, you swear that you can quote with great accuracy a remark I made to you at Saratoga five years ago?" "I can." Well, what was it?" "You met me in the hotel corridor." "Yes, quite correct," "And you shook hands with me." "Naturally, I did." "And you said to me; "Let's go and take The crier of the court had to call silence for ten minutes, and the lawyer confessed that the witness. had a remarkable memory. The "White ZXan Must Go. From the Los Angolea Union.

So say the Chinese in San Francisco, and it has caused considerable of a sensation and much comment throughout the state. A few days ago, sixty Chinese cigarmakers struck because the firm which was employing them would not dismiss its white help. It is reported that the strike was ordered by the Chinese "union" at San Francisco. This attempt at dictation by the Chinese, though seeming for a moment ridiculous and amusing, is really a serious matter when considered. It' shows conclusively that the Chinese are gaining in strength and know it.

They imagine that they are masters of the situation and intend to make; their power felt. While we do not think that the Miant Pome ODD AND SEE TINNERS. WALCOTT, SHORT NOTICE. TELKPIIOXE 183. HARDWARE.

Voice of Labor: The rich are engrossing more and more the purchasing power of the world, while their wants are insufficient to absorb the constantly growing production of the world. The middle class is disappearing, and society is rapidly separating itself into two classes a few thousand millionaires on one side, the proletarian millions disinherited in their natural birthright in the land, and their God-given heritage of labor- There is no limit to human invention, nor to the productive capabilities of machinery, while, with the growth of production, the market constantly contracts from the tendency of wealth to become massed ever in fewer and fewer hands. One of the limitations to production mentioned by Adam Smith is the market. The world over production has passed this limit. The few millionaires can't eat the corn and and wheat and provisions of the world; the laboring millions, supplanted in their work by machinery, can't buy them.

The millionaires can't wear the billions of shirts, coats and hats which the multiplied and extended machinery of the world is making; the superseded millions of the world's can't get them. FRANK A. TODD'S COAL. THE TRADES-UNION FOB TRADES-PEOPLE. AND MY YARD IS HANDY TO ALL.
