" _ ! m j A BILL in the New York legislature ' . , provides that female teachers in tlie j ' public schools shall be paid not less ! ' than 65 per cent , of what is paid male ! teachers. j ( "Fp spring poets were hens. " says an ' exchange. ; 'evcn an editor could afford j to eat. eggs. Doubtful. If spring poets were hens , they would not , send their lays to the editor. l.v Brooklyn there was a serious strike i in the public school , the boys and girls j demanding shorter day's works. The teachers , called in the troops and the po lice suppressed the strike without.much bloodshed. One bloody monopoly has triumphed. G-K.VEKAK Master Workman Fowder- ly. it seems , began his working life as a switch tender. Mr. lioxie. manager of the Gould system of railroads in the southwest , wag at one lime hostler in a hotel near Des Moines. Afterwards he became chairman of the republican state central committee and United States marshal of Iowa. Mr. Gould himself earned his first money as a map ped dler. New York World. THE labor troubles of the southwest are not yet over. ' 1 he great railroad managers have declined to re-employ all employes , and many hundreds of men are in consequence out of a joband wtil be even after traffic is resumed. This is unfortunately apt to be the case after every great strike , and furnishes one of the strongest reasons why earnest at tempts should be made to arbitrate rath er than to fight out labor troubles. The present troubles have already cost the railroads and their employes more than $4,000,01)0. ) [ 1 cooler heads had directed the Knights of Labor of the southwest , it need not have cost either side a dollar. THK American dies from overwork and anxiety. When he is five years old he begins school with the determination to be at. the. head of the class. He will out-run , out-jump and lick any boy of his size. Jle enters upon a condition of strain that is perpetual. As he goe ? on it gets worse. He must be in poli tics at twenty , rich at thirty , great at forty and if he measurably succeeds he- is decaying at fifty and dead at sixty. He ought to be dead. It is a fitting punishment for his audacity and his steady violation of the laws of nature. S. II. Jones of Ashley , 111. buys Chamber lain's Fain Bairn by the half dozen birftl . " . .
