Then and Jfew.
JeffciBin Davis rc-nppcarate tlie public
upon the occasion of tlie laying of a cor
ner stone in Montgomery, Alabama, te the
Confederate dead. He vns received with
a great welcome. The obscurity in which
lie has been buried since the Confederacy 'a
fall, has been great, and has been due less
te the failure of his cause than te the Rcn
eral conviction that he had net been an ir
reproachable leader of It. History is bound
te record that he was net a well cho
sen selection for the presidency into
which he was inducted twenty-five years
age, in the town in which he new again
makes a public appearance as the central
feature of the occasion. As president of
the Confederacy, Sir. Davis was net suc
cessful in securing the adhesion and cordial
support of its leaders. He lacked the tern,
per and the judgment of the great chief.
Ue had the needed ceurage and firmness,
but net the needed wisdom. Ills cause
fell and be fell, and there seemed no bot
tom te the depth of his descent.
But a quarter of a century has passed
around and he comes te the surface, net as
Jeffersen Davis, but as the ex-president of
the Confederacy. In expressing his grati
fication at his reception he said that he
knew it was net personal but that it was
given te a sentiment ; and it was clearly se.
The sentiment of the Southern peeple to
wards their fallen Confederacy is of tlie
warmest kind, and always will be main
t lined. It is net in nature that it should
be otherwise. The sacrifices made te main
tain it will always preserve it te them as
a memory of heroic devotion. They
struggled for it as long as they c uld
and desisted only when they wete beaten.
Acknowledging theirdefeat and necessari
ly avowing their respect for the power of the
Union that defeated them, they can be ro
lled upon te maintain and defend hereafter
Iho federacy that they once vainly sought
te destroy; and their admiration and love
for their lest cause is no sign of tlie weak
new of their devotion te the restored
Union ; which has in truth brought te
them se much of material benefit as te
furnish a sufficient guarantee of their sup
port of it. Their sentiment is for the Con Cen
federacy, and theirjudgmentfortheUnien.
General Gorden.ono of their most impet
uous leaders and most impassioned orators,
addressed them as tlie orator of the occa
sion at Montgomery, and expressed in the
warmest way their feeling for the Confed Cenfed
eracy, whlle recording in decided terms
ther present, devotion te the Union. They
shed tears for the Confederacy and revel in
its heroic deeds and great sacrifices, and
welcome its leaders, however peer, forget
ful of their shortcomings in the grand
crash that buried all together in a common
luin.
But when tluy get down te the prose- of
te-day anil see hew they have grown aud
waxed fat, Bince their slaves have gene
and their industries have grown, they have
nothing for the Confederacy but tears and
sentiment, and for their solid comfeit and
progress of te-day, gratulatien.
Painting the Court Heuse.
It is very natural that there should be
complaint about the manner in which the
county commissioners have dealt with the
award of the contract for painting the ex
terior of the court house. "Whlle they per
haps had the lgal authority te let it with
out bids, as was the first intention of the
majority of the be.ird, manifestly the only
proper and satisfactory method of letting
public work of tills extent is te invite
proposals and te award the contract te the
lowest and best bidder, upon clear specifi specifi
catiens and the furnishing of adequate
security.
This the commissioners, It is by some
claimed, did net de. In the first place in
asking for bids they declared that the ma
terial "must be purchased in the city of
Lancaster." There Is no reason in this.
If it be claimed te be proper te give our
home merchants a preference, there is ob
vieusly an injustice In excluding the com
petition of the entire county outside of the
city, for the tax-payers of the whele county
must contribute te the expenses of the pub
lie buildings.
The commissioners are certainly net
bound te accept the lowest bid ; nnd when
one is made se entirely out of proportion te
the necessary cost efthe work ns te be plain
ly Impossible of fulfillment, it is properly
ruled out of consideration. Inferior work
men and Irresponsible bidders are net te be
accepted , but among a number of bids,
each of which is supported by sufficient se
curity te protect the county in getting the
job done it asks for, there Is no justification
in passing ever the lower for the higher
bid ; and the county auditors can sur
charge the commissioners if they find they
have displayed any favoritism. The com cem com
mlsslenera maintain that they acted solely
with a view te getting a satisfactory job at
a fuir price, and we give them the benefit
of tbelr statement. Undoubtedly, ima.
ever, in asking for bids they should always
require unquestionable security, and then
the county will be protected If the lewett
bidder is net the best.
.
The Law or Polygamy.
Our Washington correspondent sends an
Interesting letter about the famous Mer.
en case, argued in the supreme court
yesterday. If the facts are as he presents
(hera, the plea of the Mormons In this case
4 Swsetl en justice and the prosecution Is
wresff.
It a mm wbe came under the ban of the
Kdraunds law, quits living with his plural
wives and ceased te cohabit with them, he
ought te le respected for his continued
support of them nnd their children rather
than punished. Te lia deserted them
pntlrelv. would liavn liwn n cewanllv and
cruel thing, nnd the law that compel thin
puts a premium en Immorality, insie.id of
tending te suppress it.
Kmplriral legislation.
It Is hard te believe that thelloupef
llcpiescntatlves of the I'lilted States
weti'd ever seriously consider inch a ip ip
pert ill has been made te it upon the sub
ject of taxing oleemargailne. Yet It
seems that the cemmittee en agriculture
has actually allowed a member te lepert
with the favor of its approval a proposed
law te tax oleomargarine ten cents a
pound, net te raise levenue but te drive
the business out of the country. The
specious plea upon which this is sought te
be justified is "that there arc in the 1'nited
Stales ever 10,000,000 cows, producing an
nually ever 1,000.000,000 pounds of butter
and 300,000,000 pounds of cheese, worth
8i50,O00,00O. That an amount of milk of
equal value is annually consumed, unking
the value of the annual product of the
dairy Interests $.n),000,ene. Tlie cows
were worth en an average $10 per head
until the introduction of counterfeit but
ter, and are new worth but $"0 each, mak
ing a total less of $11,000,000 in milch
cows alone. The report declares that such
Imitations are net only disastrous te the
dairy interest directly and te all branches
of agriculture Indirectly, but that they
are detrimental te public health, lieing the
fruitful cause of djspepMa and ether
diseases."
This paternal concern of tliengricnllur.il
cemmittee for the " dyspepsia" of tlie peo pee pee
peo has such a fine touch of the humor
ous, that it makes the whole iepett
ludicrous and subjects the committee te
the suspicion of trilling with the matter in
an ironical spirit. Hut the committee is
really in earnest. We venture te say that
since the incorporation of railways was ob
jected te en the ground that their use
would depreciate the price of horses, no
such balderdash has been heard in a legis
lative body as these reasons for taxing oleo
margarine. Let their be a tax at once laid
upon reapers and sewing machines, and
every species of labor-saving machinery '
The Trade Dellar.
It seems that in the IIeuc committee
en coinage the redemption of tlie trade
dollar has been a subject of some little dis
cussion, and while there is friendliness
toward the redemption, there is dispute
whether theameunt redeemed should come
out of the monthly bullion purchase. A
preposition te thi3 effect has been rejected
by a vote of six te three, se jealous and in
dexible is the silver majority of the Heuse
In its determination te keep up the
monthly purchase of s'lver. This
seems te be a tweedle-duni and
tweedle deeaffair, in comparison with the
main question of redeeming and withdraw
ing forever the repudiated coin. Let it be
exchanged for the Illand dollar which new
overloads the treasury vaults. The gov
ernment can keep the trade dollars as eas
ily and cheaply as it keeps the ethers ; and
until silver coins get scarce there need be
nothing further done with them. Their
constant possession will be a warning
against such experiments. If silver ever
gets scarce they can be melted and made
ever te profit, ('.ill them in.

-N'orwiTiisTANDiNe the reperts et the
meagre catch of shad at Columbia this season,
Assistant United States Kish Commissioner
T. IJ. rergusen says there has been no such
run et shad for twenty-live years. The fish
ernien gcnerally attribute the enormous
catch this season te the deposits that have
beeu made trem year te year during the last
ten years. The unprecedented abundance of
shad has net been reutined te the Chosapeake
bav reclen. but bus p-rtpmifxi tn nii vi....-
which have been the recipient or the deposits
of young fish from the United States com
mission. One of tlie strongest evidences that
the present abundance U the result of arti
ficial propagation, and net nlmply attrlbut
able te natural causes, is that the bame In
crease or shad has leen efiected en the
Pacltle coast, In which water Htuul were un
known prier te their Introduction by the
United Slates llsh commission. The greatest
unbelievers in the eillcacy of artificial propa prepa propa
gatlen are new convinced that If the shad
were made abundant In waters wbc.re they
never exlsted, they can bolncrea.ed In waters
that are their natural home.

THE FUTURE OF LABOli.

That we are passing through an epidemic
of strikes, lockouts and boycotts Is true, but
the fact must net be lest sight or that were it
net hir the glowing power of organization
we should lia a meat many mere strikes te
content with than we lne had for the first
lliree months of the present year.
The growth et organization for tlie past trn
years has Iwen teady and healthy. It is
only where organization Is in Its Inlaucy that
serious troubles such as strikes and lockouts
fxIU The causes Irem which strikes and
lockouts spring are te be found In all parts of
tbe country, but the methods of dealing with
the troubles as tlieyarle are dltlerent. In
places where no organization of labor exist,
or where the seeds of organization hae JiK
been planted, deputing parties are apt te be
come involved In strikes. Tlie reasons ad
vanced In support et tint preposition are as
follews: X'ntil recently ery row working
men cared teepres their npiouienin public
en the subject of labor, for the rensen'tli.it
they were almost certain of nil lirmedlate
dismissal Irem the serxlces of the man
or company they worked for. If it bcvaitie
known that they lu any way favored
the association of the werkiriguien (or
mutual protection. With such a senti
ment existing In the breasts or work,
incmen thev could net be expected te feel
ery kindly toward the emplejer who se
jeafeulv watched their every movement and
w he by Ids actions made them feel that they
w ere retarded rather as serfs than freemeii.
Whlle.the real bone and sinew or the land
remained in eurerced silence, except where
it ceuid It) heard through the medium or the
press and rostrum through chosen leaders
another class or men who seldom worked
would Insist en "representing labor," and In
making glow ing speeches en the rights nnd
wrongs el man would urge the "abolition et
property," or the "eiiiul dllsien of wealth";
such seaker9 very eften suggesting that it
geed thing tode would be te "hang capitalists
te lamp-pests." The employer et labor who
listened te such speeches lelt that In sup
prosing organization oineng Ids w erkmen he
was petferming a laudable art. Yet he was
by that means preing hliuseirte be the most
peweriui any me anarchist coma wish ier.
lie caused his empleyes te feel that he took
no Interest in them ether than te get as many
hours or tell out or them for as tew shili.
Ings as possible. The cenkCiiience was
that the employer, who was him
self responsible ler the smothering of
the honest expression of opinion en
the part of labor, became pe-esscd otthe Idea
that the raw head and bloody hones curbstene
orator was the real representa'lve of labor,
and determined te exerclse mere vigilance
and precaution than ever in keeping his
"help" out et the labor society. The speaker
who hinted at or advocated the destruction
of property or the hanging of capitalists te
lamp-pests was shrewd enough te speak very
kindly, nnd In n knowing manner, of labor
asseci itiens, giving out ttie impression that
he held membership in ene or mere of thorn.
Werkingmen who were denied the right te
erganlre very IreipieuUy went te hear Mr.
Scientific lecture en the best means of
handling dynamite. And when the speaker
portrayed the w rengs of labor, the thought
nil workman could readily trace a resom resem resom
blance between the employer painted by the
lecturer aud the man be himself worked for.
Workmen employed by these who frowned
en labor organizations' became sullen and
morose : they saw- In every action or the
superintendent another innovation en their
lights, and they linally determined
te threw eir the yoke or oppres
sion, oream.e aud assert tlielr man
heed. The actions or the suerlntendcnt, or
bes, very often tended te widen the breach
between employer and emplnve. When the
organization did ceme It found n bitter feel
Inir existing en lieth sides, and before study'
lug the laws of the society they Joined, or be
coming conversant with Its rules or regula
tions regarding the settlement or disputes or
grievances, me werKtncn determined te wipe
out of existonce the whole system of petty ty
raunles that had been practiced en them for
years ;nei being drilled in organization aud
Iodine that the employer would net treat
w ith them, the only remedy suggesting Itself
wa.s me striKO. aiiu, en tue ether nauii, ttie
employer, who relt that every move et his
workmen In organization would be directed
against his intereits, determined te take tlme
by the forelock ud turn them out en the
street. Thus we find the organization in its
infancy' face te face with a strike or lockout.
This condition of affairs existed in a great
many places throughout thel'nited States In
the beginning efthe present year. Absorbed
in the task et getting large dividends the
employer seldom inquired of his superin
tendent hew he managed the business in
trusted te his keeping, or hew he treated the
empleyes In thousands or places through
out the Cnlted States, as many superintend
ents foreman or tetty bosses are interested
in stores corner groceries or saloons. In
many places the empleye Is told plainly that
he must deal at the store, or get his liquor
from the saloon In which his boss has an In
terest ; In ethers he Is given te understand
that he must deal In these stores or saloons,
or forfeit his situation. Laws hae been
passed iu some states against the keeping of
company ttoresbut tbe stores are kept never
theless, and workmen are made te feel that
they must patronize them.
In many cases the ewners of milN, factor
ies or mines are net aw are of the existence of
such institutions as the "pluck me" the
nameapplied te thocemprtny store but they
stand se far away from thelr empleyes that
they cannot hear the murmur of complaint,
aud ITa whisper el it ever does reach thelr
ears it comes through the boss who is net
only interested In the store, but in keeping
its exlstence a secret trem his employer.
The keeping or such stores is anether source
or injustice te workmen, for Jtheir exlstence
tends te widen the breach between emplnyer
and empleye. It may seem that I am deal
ing with insignificant things in this paper,
but when the .statement is made that seven
out of overy ten superlntondentserbossesaro
interested in the management, and derive
profit Irem the operation of stores which em em
peoyes are forced te patronize, I make an
assertion which can be proved. la a coun
try where eery man, no matter hew hum.
bio, Is taught from his Intaney that he stands
the equal of all ether men, it is but natural
for a citizen who Is given te understand that
he must pntrenlze a certaln store, or that lie
cannot join a certain society, te reel restive,
and, where se much Is premised and se llttle
obtained, men are apt te lese faith in a law
making system which obliges the workman
himself te become complainant aud prosocu presocu prosecu
tor In cases where the laws are violated te
his detriment. If he prosecutes he is dis
charged, ir lie does net presecute for Infrac
tions or law but simply complains, he Is told
te invoke tbe majesty or the law in his own
behair. In this way law is disregarded ; It
becomes a dead letter j men leso hepe In law
arid law-makers.
The constant Itching and irritation caused
by theiudllleronceortho employer te thelr
weirare, and the Injustice practiced en them
by ixitty bosses go en until the men feel that
the only remedy Is through the strike. In
this way men who belong te no organization
are launched into strikes.
Werklngmen, as a rule, nre net educated
men. When the strike docs come, while
they leel that they have been wronged, yet
they are lacking in the command eriangiiage
necessary te state their case properly te the
world, and heuce set forth thelr claims in
suclia way as te arouse prejudices or create
ralse Impressions, The ether side having the
advantage or education, olther personally or
by right or purchase, can and does mould
publie opinion in a great many cases.
I have pointed out ene or two or the little
things which cause a great deal of uneasiness
and vexation te werklngmen j etheis hae
pointed out the root et the evll. The work werk
tngman of the United States will Boen reallze
that he possesses the power which kings ente
held-that he has the right te manage his
own atlalrs. 'Iho power of the kluir has
passed away. Tlie pew or or wealth Is poising
away. The evening shadows are closing in
upon the day when Immensoprivate fortunes
can be acquired. The new iwwer dawninK
upon the world is that of the werklngman te
rule his own destliiies. That power can no
leuger be kept from him. IIew will we
wield It?
This question is of great concern net only
te the working class but te every citizen of
the republic, and the hand or every citizen
who loves his country should be extended te
assist the new ruler. I have no rears Ixcause
or the preseutapparently disturbed condition
or the labor world j en the contrary, the
signs are very hopeful. Wendell Phillips
ouce said : " Kever loelc for an age when the
jwople can be quiet ami safe. At such times
despetlJiu llke a shrouding mist steals ever
the mirror el freedom."
The peeple are net quiet te-day, but tbey
are aafe. It U the power of monopoly that fa
net sare. The men who pile up large for
tune inuit compensate for that privilege In
the payment el a graduated Incometax. The
blessings which they derhe Irem wealth
shared by the nation from which tlie.i ex
extract that wealth.
Ten hours of lalsir must be redu.sd

but we must Iiimi the co-operation el the
