The proposition of the Fall River i weavers to use their eflorts to assist friendly manufacturers against those whose aim In businesses to pay the smallest possible wages, is unusual, but It Is encouraging. The weavers have come to learn that because a man Is an employer, he Is not necessarily an enemy. Tue labor unions have dono much injustice in tho past by refusing to believe that an employer may be kindly disposed toward his men, but is compelled by circumstances to insist on measures that seem hard and unjust to theemyloyes. On tho other hand, there has been with the employer a 1 t . 1 ... L I .. 11 C 11. orient auu ustice ot 111s decision to cut wages, or to refuse an Increase.

There is much to say for both sides, and nny move that may bring the two Into closer relations Is to welcomed. In every trade, the man who by hook or crook secures oheaper labor Is recognized as a factor In cutting prices. It Is not easy to see exactly how the weavers propose to go to work, other than on the old plan, to rcuoh the class at which their resolution was aimed, but tho will counts for much, and the recognition of the friendly spirit thnr many manu facturers hold, counts for a great deal, coming as it does as tho first expression of tho kind from a labor unlou.

The town polico say that window Ecreon3 aro a source of great an noyanco to them. People loave thom in first story windows over night and such places roquiro almost tho entire watch of an officer, as it would be the easiest thing for a midnight marauder to remove a screon and jump into a houso when a policeman'6 back is lurnod for a few min utes. People using window screens should take tho hint and try lo struggle along during tho hot nights with tho supply of air the screens in tho upper windows may admit.

I am not a crank on the law and order ques tion, neither can I countenanco such a state of affairs, It is running things into the ground, Tho last two Sundays tho scenes on tho streets hayo beon most disgraceful and if the parties who aro roiponsibie for them do not chango soon I, for ono, will feel compelled to become a crank so called and urge that steps be taken to on- force tho rights of thoso who aro Inclined to respect the Sabbath, John Bock, ono of the letter carriers, has beon bitten again.

But sumo fine day John will draw it bead on eomo valuable canine, and when he does tho hair will fly. But a less dangorous and more effective means for dealing with neglectful owners of vicious dogs is at the disposal of the carriors, and it is surprising to mo that they have not al ready availed themselves ot it. A letter carrier is not bound to leave mail where such a dog is kept.
