THE LAPOR SITUATION.
Ktrikos on the jwrt of jioojilo
omployod in tho various kinds of
hibor soom to be pretty jrcneTal
all over the North, with throats
of increase in numlx-r. Dun's
Trade Review, issued Saturday,
estimated that "probably fifty
thousand men are voluntarily idle
who might be employed at tho
highest level of wages ever paid
in this or any other country an
economic loss of this magnitude
affects many more than those di
rectly concerned."
In point of number of men out
of work the New England cotton
mill strike ranks first, but the
disturbances in the building
trades lines are more widespread
and hurtful generally and their
number is being added to daily.
Here is one day's (Tuesday's)
fctriko record in New York :
Extension of the strike of Con
necticut mechanics for 20 per
cent increase in wages to West
chester county, New York. It is
estimated that the strike has
caused the suspension of work on
2,000 buildings in Westchester
county and Connecticut.
Twelve thousand masons in
New York make demand for in
crease in wages from 35 to o7i
cents an hour, demand to go into
effect June 1st.
Two thousand wagon makers
in Brooklyn strike for shorter
hours at same pay. Three thous
and others will join them next
week if tho demand is not granted.
About ,ri(X) more were added
to the Pottsville, Pa., coal strik
ers' list and there is every indi
cation that the operators will
have to grant the demands or
face another general strike.
About 6M tar, felt and water
proof workers in New York have
struck for higher wages. Oilier
manufacturers have grunted their
demands.
In Chicago the situation lias
been improved by the concessions
to over 40,000 men, involving an
increase in wages aggregating
1,000, 000 annually. Some trades
are on strike and others present
demands, and negotiations pend
ing will probably eventuate satisfactorily.
It is encouraging to note that
in this widespread disturbance of
labor circles the South is little
involved. Having a very small
proportion of foreign population
any disagreements between em
ployer and employe arc usually
easily settled and hence strikes
have never been popular in the
South, and it is to be horwd that
they never will be. The most
costly way of settling labor dilli
culties is by a strike, and, remem
bering this it behooves both
parties to take the utmost pains
to settle their troubles without
resort to striking having been
had if that is possible. Ashe

Blaze Bankrupts Twenty Companies.
A Reanmont diepa'ch says: A
careless workman kicked over a
lantern at one of the Caldwell oil
wells on block 38, Hogg-Swayno
tract, on Spindle Top Wednesday
and starttd a fire that reunited in the
loss of property valued at f 1,000,000
and the bankruptcy of twenty or
ranre smaller companies. There are
175 wells on the three blocks of the
tract and only five of the derricks
and pnmp houses are left standing.
Every company that had property
in the Hogg Sway ne tract is a loser.
The fire swept the three blocks,
covered with derricks and pnmp
honsee, clear of all its buildings.
The derricks left are on the edges
and are few and far between. None
of the companies had a cent of in
surance. The fire started near the
southern edge of block No. 38 and
spread three ways. Pumping sta
tions, derricks and pipe lines all fell
before it. Large engines and thick
pi)e melted in the heat. It is csti
mated that 170 of the wells sustained
an average direct loss of $ 2,000.
This is exclusive of half a million
dollars m ire, the aggregate lofs on
production and other damages.
Fifty or more wells probably are
ruined by the dropping tubing into
them as the result of the fire.

Habits of Self-Control.
Re sure love rules the world,
and behind love, sustaining it, is

self-control. It is self-control
that has made the great nations

self-control and it is as a little

To Gobble the Peabody Fund.
The trnsteos of the Peabody eda
cational fund met in New York this
week, and the fact is scarcely con-
coaled that there is a scheme afoot
to withdraw the aid the trustees
have been giving to the various cot
ton states for educational purposes.
The money is to be returned for the
purpose of putting both capital and
interest into a big normal college in
6 mo Southern city. The proposed
change in the plan of the truetees
rests in its lust analysis upon the de
sire of Atlanta to gobble the whole
thing in a dejire to boom that
particular town. Oae of the trustees
of the fund, ex Secretary of the
Interior Hoke Smith, and the acting
agent of the fond, Dr Glenn, reside

Popularity of Rural Free Delivery.
If one were called upon to name
the most popular innovation in gov
ernmental service during the two
past decades looking to toe greatest
good to the greatest number and in
creasing the intelligence of its citi
zenship such as one would unbesi
tatingly name the establishment of
the rural free delivery system. It
is probably the most satisfactory
service for the great mass of country
people tnat has ever been undertaken
by the government. It give them
many of the convenience of a city
life without the extra cost of living,
It saves ranch waste of time in going
to and from the postomce. It en
courages the habit of letter writing
and increases at a manifold ratio the
circulation of newspapers and maga
zines. 1 he farmer is now able to
keep informed in respect to the mar
keta and the general movements in
the political and financial world. In
deed, the establishment of this sys
tem, in connection with the tele
phone, may bo accounted among the
greatest ot the educational machin
ery of the country, reaching classes
of people too old or too busy to at
tend schools. This system makes
country life an ideal one. Southern

Plowing With Elephants.
It may be said of P. T. Barnnm
that he was tho mnj irdumo or lord
of laughter and fun, tho protean
dispenser ot amusement. How wcl
he became known through thi
function ono curious Irieidorit certi
ties. Some years before ho died an
ohscnro ptrsun In sonic remote part
of Asia wrote a letter, which ho
dropped In the poult (lice near him
directed to "Mr. Itaruum, Amor!
ca." Tho letter reached Its destina
tion wlth ii.t an hour's delay. The
groat showman unaffectedly enjoyed
being Known Imm tho very begin
ning of his celebrity, and when he
found his celebrity was a tremendous
factor In his success he did every
thing that he could think of to ex
tend the exploitation of his name
this was not to nourish vain im
agininga or because he felt exalted
It was to promote business.
Around his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Conn., he was fond o
putting something that suggested a
show. Oneerly marked cattle, the
sacred cow or an elephant was
frequently among the stock to be
noticed in his fields. On one oc
casion ho had an elephant engaged
in plowing e,n the sloping hill where
it could bo plainly seen by the
passengers on the New Raven and
Hartford railroad, an agricultural
innovation that he knew would get
notice of some sort in every news
paper in the conn'ry. It was even
said that he received letters from
farmers far and wido asking how
much hay one elephant ate and it it
as more profitable to rlow with an
...
elephant than with horses or oxen
His replies were invariably frank
and were of this purport: If yon
lave a large museum in New i ork
and a great railway sends trains full
of passengers within eyeshot of the
pertormance, it will pay, and pay
well, but it you have no such insti-
ntron then horses and oxen will
prove more economical. Joel Ren
ton in Century.
The News and Observer says :
Old railroad men believe that if
there is one wreck t jere will bo three

bo borne out in the three wreck? on
