Why Labor Laws Are Knocked Out. A few Aonths ago the legislature of Michigan enacted a law empowering a commission to purchase the street rail¬ ways of Detroit and turn them over to the municipality. The commission or¬ ganized and entered upon the dis¬ charge of its duty. Now the Supreme court of the state has declared uncon¬ stitutional the law under which it was proceeding, and further progress is im¬ possible. Things remain as they have been. This is but a repetition of what is constantly occurring in every state. It emphasizes the fact that those who desire a speedy accommodation of laws to new conditions, industrial as well as otherwise, must direct their attention not simply to the makers of laws, but also to Interpreters of the same. They must elec.t or insist upon the appoint¬ ment of judges who will resolve a doubt, when it arises, in favor of ac¬ commodation to show conditions, rather than against it, as is now almost uniformly the case. I do not mean to suggest that the judiciary is flagrantly corrupt. Speaking strictly for myself, I believe that a higher degree of in¬ tegrity characterizes the bench as a whole than characterizes any other profession or calling, except possibly the medical. I know very many of my readers do not share this opinion, hut 1 $tm sure they will accord me the same right to form opinions they themselves exercise. What I do mean to call at¬ tention to is this: Every condition of ais surroundings tends to make a judge, no matter hpw upright, very earful of sanctioning an innovation, he can possibly avoid doing so. On yof; rock many a labor law has suf ff ,,i shipwreck. It is incumbent upon yon people, and especially upon the la , dement, to strive to elevate men to ■each who are not only competent I? nonest, but imbued with the con¬ viction that new conditions need new rerne. tjj eg and ready to act on this be , Mef. The law moves slowly; judicial iiiterp:- station lags still further behind. R.evol<^ solely utlons have been precipitated on this account—their sole pur¬ pose e i n g to bring law and the inter¬ pret' on thereof up to date. I don't lmag e we are to have any revolution, excer one kind: A revolution in the ideas the people when they set about cboos ; those who shall make and in terpre . a ws, or appoint the interpre te? B , at the case may be. And that revolut; a should come as quickly as possibles, It can’t arrive too soon. ‘‘Wanted:' A Bureau of Information.” Under ablove caption Mr. Paul J. Maas, who tljie ■ conducts the labor depart¬ ment of Chicago Times-Herald, publishes /'article ?the following incisive and pertinent that must, I think, commend itself to all fair men who read it. Hie says; Although the American labor move rr at has long ago grown eut of its ewaddling (Clothes and has grown to he big and heAlthy, is recognized as a fac¬ tor in evet’y walk of life, and is here to stay, doing good within its sphere wherever it,can, there is still in the movement too much that savors of child’s play. I refer to the proneness of labor bodies, great and small, to unmercifully score and condemn pub¬ lic men and public officials without an Investigation or hearing for some real or fancied Injury or wrong done or in¬ tended to the laboring man or cause. The labor movement in this country has arrived at that* "stage where it is absolutely necessary and essential that either the ~ 'Wi^ion of Labor or the central Ia Mr. *«es In the large cities should friemlsjn bureau, and.dissemination having for Its object of •.jl^jllection reIat toe aets ^ n 8 t0 ° c Us taken by and men womea - ?ne S J C labor tor Is or organized against labor, not. er or Information could be gathered easily and with littje or no expense, and many a labor union could be ed from the humiliation of having demned or judged a person too ly and too severely. Almost day we read accounts of this or THE RECORD DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OF JOHNSON COUNTY AND MIDDLE GEORGIA, WRIGHTSVILLE.GA.. THURSDAY, AUGUST iT, 1899. in all parts of the country having adopted resolutions which placed a stigma on some public person. Such acts as these usually occur when some member or clique in an organiza¬ tion has failed to impress some public man or public official with their “greatness,” and in their eagerness to “sacrifice their valuable time and tal¬ ents” have failed of obtaining politi¬ cal preferment; again, it occurs when these persons decide to remove some obnoxious (?) being and All the place with some one after their own heart, never stopping ,„ r , moment con siaer what the incumbent may have done for the cause of labor in the past, mueh , what he may io in the fu ture. As a rule, , words „ of condemna¬ tion generally follow a tirade of some glib-tongued “ wind-jammer, who envies everybody _____ , success in life; a person „ „ whose greatest pleasure is to tear down rather than build up The speak f is J* followed “ore lung by several power than, in the eloquence same strain, and when all have exhausted their 1 e " vocaouiary vocabularv of or invectives invectives a a flm- n.p pant set of resolutions is adopted and the harm is done. The friend of the abUSe J ] part ?, * h ° ha ! l ° *’ Jse knows little heed, if any, will be , paid to his words of defense, and very much less to his suggestions for an in vestigatlon. As .... it is, we of . the ., labor¬ . , ing class allow ourselves to be Influ¬ enced or become prejufliced against a policy or person through the opinions or advice of our friends without mak¬ ing a personal investigation for our selves that we may know the advice ha?, not been prompted by ulterior mo¬ tive. No cause can prosper when it adopts falsehood or misrepresentation as its foundation stone. All well-meaning citizens will gladly support every le¬ gitimate effort to aid the cause of la¬ bor. This cause, however, can only be injured and in no way benefited by acts of unwise friends (?), who intro¬ duce and carry resolutions based on a tissue of falsehoods. Justice for all— just what labor unions stand for—de¬ mands a personal investigation or ac¬ quaintance before judgment i* passed. If the American Federation of Labor or the central bodies in industrial cen¬ ters hijve a bureau of information— the information to be collected by fair minded committees—many distressing incidents, some of which are a dis¬ grace to organized labor, would never occur. Justice to all demands that some action along these lines be con¬ sidered, and a more convenient time cannot be found than the present. So tea. The United Hatters of America have appointed a committee having for its purpose the unionizing of all non-uni¬ on hat factories in this country. The Boot and Shoe Operatives’ union of Great Britain has forfeited $1,500, because a branch struck work contrary to the terms of the arbitrator’s award. One-half of the world’s production of petroleum is credited to the United States, and the Standard Oil company controls a pretty good share of both the home and foreign yield. Mr. T. H. Young, the livery man of Syracuse, N. Y., who precipitated the trouble that ended in the disruption of the Hack and Cab Drivers’ union, of that city, a few weeks ago, has been sold out by the sheriff. The federal industrial commission as a body has adjourned for the sum¬ mer vacation, although three or four sub-committees will remain at work during the two months when the com¬ plete body will not be in session. Factory inspectors In the .district in and around Pittsburg have started a crusade against violators of.the state factory laws. Proceedings are being instituted against laundry companies and owners of large establishments where women, girls and minors are employed more than sixty hours per week. Packing house employes to the number of about 500 held a meeting in the stockyards district of Chicago, acid formed the Packing House Em¬ ployes’ union, the purpose of which is to take into one organization all the employes in the yards other than those which are organized at the pres¬ ent time. The settlement of the street railway strike at Cleveland is a victory for the strikers. They went out because the company refused to recognize their la¬ bor union and to deal with the em¬ ployes as an organized body, and they cqme back with the union “recog¬ nized” and under an agreement that 80 per cent of the old employes be taken back and the rest within a very short time. Discussing the outlook for the ma¬ chinery trade, the Iron Age says that additions to the iron and steel pro¬ ducing capacity of the country will not be made eo rapidly as many people hope. Brick and stone can be had in unlimited quantities, but projectors of new works find trouble in securing equipment. Builders of engines con¬ forming to modern requirements are with work, and it is doubtful if contracts could be placed for the de¬ livery of blowing engines or heavy rolling mill engines much under a year and a half. A large steel com¬ pany recently arranged for engines for a projected plate mill, and the best delivery that they could get was fifteen months. POLITICAL THINKERS THEY WERE ON EARTH FIFTY YEARS AGO. Pennsylvania Democracy Hall a Century Ago Would Pass for Populism To-day —An Address Issued by the Philadel¬ phia Young Democracy. About fifty years ago the Young Democracy held a convention and is¬ sued an address to the public, which contains fundamental truths not found in the political platforms now issued by such city Democrats as are con¬ trolled by Choicer, Harrison and the present Philadelphia boss, whoever he may be. This old address of the Young De¬ mocracy is very gooct Populism or Bry anism. Read it: “The time is coming when a man will no longer be regarded with abject and cringing subserviency, simply be¬ cause he possesses millions more than he wants, or can use, while millions are pining in poverty, hunger, aud nakedness. “The time will come when those who build houses shall own houses; “When those who create all the wealth, shall own at least a portion of the wealth they produce. “When those who work shall eat; “And when the great law of Chris¬ tianity In relation to the accumulation of wealth shall at least be hinted at once in an age by those who are its professed teachers and disciples. “Well has It been said that where the poor are robbed there is a fearful reaction upon the rich. The effect of their crime and destitution falls upon the opulent in the shape of taxes, etc. “The criminal, made so by our anti Christian social system, lives at other people’s expenses; if he is prosecuted, it is at other people’s charges; if he is in prison, it is at other people’s coet; if he is at large, he lives upon other people’s property; if he is in confine¬ ment with a crowd of others, he is sent to a school of crime,a nursery of abom¬ ination. “True economy as well as expedi¬ ency, if not religious duty, will one day teach us that it is far easier, and far cheaper, to prevent than to punish crime. We shall some day or other seek means to reform rather than de¬ stroy. Some day or other we shall provide a shelter for the myriads of children who are born to a necessary inheritance of crime, under our pres¬ ent system—for those who can be no other than vicious by the very condi¬ tions of their present lot. “The nation’s wealth depends upon those who toil. “How then does it happen that the wealth creators are the poor, the wretched, the destitute, constantly creating wealth, yet continuing to be poor? “Affording to the world the strange anomaly of the poverty of the creators of riches! “All honor to those who labor—all gratitude and respect to the men who toil, whether at the loom, the hissing engine, or on the heaving wave; wheth¬ er in battling with the angry elements, or breaking the stubborn sward; whether wielding the hammer, the ax, the shuttle or the spade; all that blesses man on sea or shore, we owe to the men who toll. “They are entitled to the first rank of society, and will occupy that posi¬ tion to which they are justly entitled, when society shall be organized upon the basis of Christianity and brother¬ hood. “They will then be no longer repre¬ sented, or rather misrepresented, in our legislative halls; they will repre¬ sent themselves. “They should have done this long ago, they can tell their own story, re¬ form their grievances, represent their iwb wants and wishes, far better than any one can d« it for them. “They are as an hundred to one —it is their own fault if they do not make laws to suit themselves. “We maintain that every man has a right to live, and to live In comfort. “Heaven never made the rich alone to smile, while the whole earth Is ring¬ ing with laughter—never made a scanty few to feast In Idleness, while the toll¬ ing many are weeping in their rags and wretchedness, want and woe, wear¬ ing out their lives in a long death dream of hopeless misery; the God¬ like soul blasted with penury and ig¬ norance; fever filling heart and brain with horror, from the cradle to the grave. “This is a land of liberty; but what is political liberty without social lib¬ erty, equality and fraternity? “Talk not about the blessings of lib¬ erty to the pauper mass who sell them¬ selves day by day for a paltry sum Just sufficient to keep them from the graven “Liberty means something higher than freedom to toil and starve. “Selfishness everywhere—from the teacher to the taught—is the creed of our times. “Its festering venom has filled the world with blood and crime. “We must demand a reform of these crying evils, and demand it boldly. “Let the mass unite and resolve, and the work is done. “Without union we are nothing, and can do nothing; with it we can move the world. “We demand that one man shall not hereafter be allow-ed to hold ualimited thousands of acres of the common in¬ heritance, while hundreds and thou¬ sands of the race are homeless and des¬ titute. “We maintain that every man is en¬ titled to as much of the earth's sur¬ face as may be necessary to supply the wants of each and all. “The first great natural right of ev¬ ery human being—the most essential, the most vitally important of all with which mail ds most endowed, is the right to as much of the food and other necessaries of life as will make exist¬ ence not only endurable, buf a pleasure and a blessing. “This right is as old as creation—it is coeval with man’s wants, and is as inalienable as life itself. “If a man has a right to live, he has a right to a place, a home in which to live, and a right to all the necessary means which go to make life a benefit. “Man has just as much right to the means of living as he has to life; the one grows out of the other, and he can as justly he divested of the one as of the other. “He who robs another of the means of life, as certainly commits a murder as he would have done had he thrust a dagger into his heart.” THE WAY THE PEOPLE RULE. The "people rule in this land,” you say? “Yes.” Then the people must be favorable to the gigantic trusts that are robbing them? “Well-—no, you see they”— And the people decided to pay $20, 000,000 for the Philippine people and islands. “Oh, no. McKinley Instructed the peace commission *o—” And then the people declared that the Filipinos were too barbaric to govern themselves, so ignored their plea for self government, and thus brought on the war— "No, that isn't, the how. You see McKinley and Alger and Han—” And the people don’t want the gov¬ ernment to issue Its own money, and so they ordered bills Introduced Into congress giving bankers an iron clad monopoly of the money business? “No, the people didn’t. The bank¬ ers caused those bills to be introduced —confound ’em—but—” And the people ordered embalmed and rot “refrigerated beef” for our sol¬ dier boys in Cuba, and then— “No, sir; that was done by that Al¬ ger through Eagan, and if—” And then the people gave Eagan a seven year furlough on full pay, and then— “No, sir; the president did that, and the people—” Aud the people then appointed two whitewashing committees to coat and bury the embalmed— “No, sir; McKinley did that, and say —hold on now—say, I guess the peo¬ ple don’t rule after all. May be we’re changing into a kingdom or something like it.” HOW ABOUT YOU? What kind of a bird are you any¬ how, that you want more money in circulation and vote for less? That you advocate free silver and vote for gold bugs? That you want a home and vote yourself homeless? That you want good wages and vote yourself out of a job? That you want to get out of debt and vote to destroy half of the money and double your debts? That you love your family and vote them out of a home? That you love liberty and vote for wage and debt slavery? That you profess Christianity and vote for hell on earth? That you love to dwell among hon¬ est neighbors and vote rascals into of¬ fice? That, as a young man, you are ambi¬ tious, you vote to fill the land with tramps and enforced thieves? That you adore knowledge and vote to suppress it? That you enjoy life and vote to make life miserable? That you bqjieve In a republican form of government and vote for Impe¬ rialism? That you call yourself a man and vote to crush manhood? We repeat, what kind of a man are you anyway?—Centralia (Ill.) X Rays. It may seem pessimistic, but the young man who puts away all thought of marriage in the present condition of all wealth in the hands of the few, will get the most happiness In the end. The poorhouses are full of people who have lost all In the endeavor to support somebody else, the insane asylums are full of Inmates who have been linked with somebody else, the thousands of suicides attest the Vain struggle to get support for wives and children, the Jail and the prisons are all lull of men who committed crime to support somebody else,—Duluth (Minh.J World. TONGA’S KING A BRIDEGROOM. The Pacific Inland Monarch Hud All Sort? of Trouble Getting a fiaeAi. The marriage of King George of Tonga, an island in the Pacific, has been celebrated after postponements that suggest some of the incidents in a tropical comic opera. The news of the marriage has come here by the steam¬ ship Mariposa from Honolulu. The august King who took a degree of B. A. at tho Wellington University, New Zealand, where lie was the worst player on the college cricket team, Is one of the most Civilized mounrebs in the Pacific. He plays a banjo, speaks several languages and was the father of a law imposing a line of $5 on any¬ one convicted of cannibalism. When lie arrived at the age of twen ty-foir years, a short time ago, he an¬ nounced that he was ready to take a Queen. All the marriageable maidens in ilie kingdom were paraded before him. lie set two aside as the most promising.oue tlie daughter of James .T. Kulm, the chief of police, and the other the daughter of a peasant of Niba Island. Being unable to decide which to mar¬ ry, lie resolved to wed them both. Ar¬ rangements were made for a grand double ceremony. The tax collectors worked hard and tilled the royal treas¬ ury with gold to defray the cost of the festivals. Just’before the day set for the festi¬ val Kaapar. the crown treasurer, took all tho assets of the King, and putting them on the royal steam yacht, headed a straight course for the horizon. The grand double wedding had to be abandoned. The two brides were sent back weeping to their parents, and the King and the indignant Chief of Police busied themselves mailing circulars bearing descriptions of the missing money, yacht and tlilef. The wicked crown treasurer came to grief however. Having no capable pilot, lie ran the yacht on a coral reef. He was captured and put in a leaky jail, from which he easily escaped, not with any of the money, however. Now all is well and the King is tho husband of the beauteous Princess Li vinia. This is the second time some one has carried off all the King’s property, and lie lias written to American safe manu¬ facturers for their catalogues. Novelties Seen in ihe Shops.

One of the newest fads is the collect¬ ing of belt buckles from different parte of the world as souvenirs. Travellers can pick up curious coins in odd places, and many bits of fine silver aud gold arc found in old junk shops and pawn¬ brokers’ shops. Uncut jewels are seized upon and set iu unique designs, and each of these tells its story to the owner and forms the subject for inter¬ esting tales. W. D. Howells says that genius is simply hard work. But that is not the reason why every man who thinks he is overworked regards himself ns a genius. The trouble with most “geniuses” is that they don’t know how to work. X RECULATE THE STOMACH, LIVER AND BOWELS, AND PURIFY THE BLOOD. A RELIABLE REMEDY FOR Indigestion, llllfouftnea* IIoAdneJkp?
