Tiik Grand Lod)?e of Good Templar:
of Georgia will meet in thin city on i t\\
Tuesday. The deliberations of the body say that people were better and happier,
o a-id *rc \ a marvel of primeval nim-
icily in this no« ntide of newspaper en-
t rpri«*t*.
Hut then, everything must have a start
■ fore it can pr« gress, and the starting
} .opo.-** is always It is within the
...einorv of man. when merchants el
eorgia traveled in vehicles t«» New York
. ml Philadelphia, and the trip required
exerul xxeek> of slew and tiresome
jouging. Now the great iron
horse doe* the business in two
■ •r three days. Solomon, the wisest
man in all the east declared that there
wan “nothing new under the sun,” and
yet even he, perhaps, would have felt
astonished, if the century in which he
nourished had been so prolific in wonders
as the present. In breathless awe the
world waits to see what is coining next.
And it is likely that thedwellers unearth
a hundred years hence will look back to
our old fogy times with pityingcoinmise*
ration.
What is the tendency of these wonder
ful strides in material progress? Do
men grow better or worse under this
lightning schedule? is the sum total of
human happiness* increased thereby?
These questions, like most others, are
sided. The sticklers for old tin es
1 though it diarogardu the old maxim about self-I
p.-ilse, etc. But tie* polt.t of the observation lies
in the application oiV.. It depends on what you i
call news to decide whether you are getting your |
money’s worth, or whether you only illustrate the ■
old proverb of “a fool and his money soon j
parted.”
One of our esteemed contemporaries remarks;
Knights of Labot estimate* that the cost of the -
Could system strike wa* one million dollars in
wages to the strikers, uuo hundred thousand dol
lars to the general board, and three and a half
million dollars to the railroad companies.
Perhaps this is true, and yet the laboring man .
| was worst hurt after all. The loss in wages is a j
, real and serious one to the men thrown out of I
work, the loss to the railroad companies is prob- I
ubly very largely “constructive.” The |
railroad companies may make up 1
all or a large part of their loss when business
is resumed, but the day laborer can never recover
the lost time and wages; his loss is absolute. It
j is quite probable that the figures above presented
are given out to show that strikers can, at all
events, inflict more loss upon their employers
| than they themselves suffer, but it will fail of its
j purpose with all thinking men able to recognize
j the difference between the loss of days’ wages
J necessary to support and never to he made up,
, and the loss of possible dividends or profits not
| actually needed, and which a\ay he recovered in
I a very short season of prosperity likely to follow

The cook hooks say that things which are

slowly for the last week, and it is consoling to
know that we are steadily getting better.
The non-inventiveness of women has been
held up for halfa century as showing remarkable

a joke. Now that a western woman has actually
