Servia and Bulgaria have made peace. The San Francisco Sub-Treasury is $10.000 short. The Texas & Pacific is now in the agony of a strike. The J. I. Case plow works are indulging in a strike. Pope Leo XIII, was seventy-five years on the 2d of March, After the doctors had all agreed that Henry Watterson must die, he got well. The old Dominion Iron and Nail Works in Lynchburg, Va., have a strike on hand. The Chicago sinners talked back to Jam Jones when he abused them, and they did right. Mr. Cleveland's first year as President closed Thursday. If he is proud of it he is a queer fish. There is talk of a bridge across the Ohio at Cairo, and one across tl"h Mississippi at Memphis. Mr. Cleveland is said by his ad. mirers to be a very different kind of a man from Andy Johnson, and he is. M. Pasteur now hopes to be able to treat diphtheria and other dies. eases by a method similar to his treatment of rabies. The blizard in New York yes. terday a week ago was a regulai Dakota blizzard.

Thih will give Madison Parish a goodly lot of ecsh. Mr. Cleveland is reaping the rvest of the seed foolishly sonw the spring time of his enthusi. n, when he said "no removala except for cause." The attempt tc run a country without partisans is a dismal kfatre. The N. O. Picayune of March 9 will contain the Proteus Pageani Illustrated in seven colors.

Mr. McCormick, the reaper man proved to be too strong for the strikers. This is the first failure of strikers for some time, and or the issue made the only one for much longer time. In this case Mr. McCormick has done the country a service. id Tbhe Board of Pardons met ir Olean last Saturday, and re to reommnend commutatior -f the case of Ford and :-' The Board is comlosed 1 U L .

Thebr qiali law of the aoq to e mu e ia **i, sd ik:es THE SATANTA :IMDICINE CO. SBefore anything is said, it m!ay be as well to remark that the TIMtE< got stuck, hence these tears. The above company struck North Louisiana last fall, and sent their agents through the country. They asked the TIMEs for offers on ad vertising space, which was prompt ly furnished, and ata very low rate, advertisers being scarce about that time. The offer was accepted and the company breezily stated that any bank in Little Rock, would furnish any desired information, in Jegard to their standing. Presum ing that unless their standing was good, they would not have ventured to refer so promiscuously to any "bank in Little Rock" no inquiry was made. When the first quarter was up, the TIMES not being much in want of funds just then, failed to send a bill, but shortly after, some remarks not exactly complimentary to the Co., having been indulged in by some of the papers in this section, a bill was sent which was treated with silent contempt. An agent of the Co., made his appearance in Tallulah about this time, who, by the way, was a very Spleasant gentleman, who stated that the Co., was engaged in a little domestic argument concerning the ownership of the receipts for mak I ing the preparations promulgated by the Co., and that pending the settlement of this controversy the - Co., was in the hands of a receiver, but that a draft would bring the money due, and, just to draw on them. This was done, but the draft only got as far as Vicksburg, from which point it was returned by the Bank there, with the information that a similar draft had just been returned that day, accompanied with the information that the Co., was in the hands of a receiver. Then a letter was written to the Co., reciting the facts, mentioning what the press was saying, and I asking for the payment of the bill. No answer. About two weeks ago, the TIMES received a blank form from the Co., which was to be filled out with rates for advertising for one year, which, if satisfactory the Co. would t accept and return a duplicate. The response to this was, that before going any farther, in advertising the Co., the TIMEs would like the old account to be settled. They responded that the new Co., had nothing to do with the old, but just s to make things pleasant, they woul s give their note due in twelve months for the debt due by the old Co. This very liberal offer to pay debts they were not responsible for so tickled the TIMES man that he immediately concluded that he would have to give the Co., some e free advertising, but before deciding - he wrote again to them saying that - if "any Bank in Little Rock" would discount the note it would be accepted, or that twenty dollars - in cash would be accepted as full r payment of the bill of twenty-seven V dollars, and five cents. This was answered by the Co., that the twelve months note was offered at Sthe earnest request of one of the e members of the new Co., who was s also a member of the old, that it Shad been made to other papers and with a few exceptions had been ac cepted in the spirit in which it was e offered, and that no bank would Sdiscount their twelve months note, or any other concern's twelve Smonths note. They further added )that if their note was accepted and Sterms for future advertising sent, they would be pleased etc. The note was declined and the Co., in Sformed that the TIMEs preferred e peace to war, but as they did not, Swar it should be. e That disinterested, offer of the SCo., to pay some one else's debts, out of pure philanthrophy, deserves some recognition, and while the TIMES will enter into no more con , tracts with the Satanta Medicine e Co,, they shall have a large slice of e free advertising which they emi n nently deserve. It is for the pur. a pose of explaining why they get e this free advertising, that you are e afflicted with this long recital. The future dissertations on this subject will be more brief and more to the Spoint. SThe steady increase in the pro rportion of strikes that are finally a successful, is worthy of serious s thought. The demands of labor, iincrease with success, and it is be a coming a serious question as to i what will the future-and the near i future- ve in rature for the pres a eat genemtiou. I VYiolehm ishleost invariably re to. by thLier, and when it M Wi 4pnli mp shetrkers. ecarry their point witlwut it. It violence were necessary it woult always he iindulged in. In railroa,2 strikes or mining strikes it gener ally shows itself, but in a strike . against a manufacturer of goods in Severy day use, ,oycvtting is found to be, generally, a more effective Sllan, and of late the party boycot ted is commonly male to pay the expenses of the boycott. d Formerly each labor organization t was indeperndent of, and uncon d nected with any other labor organ n ization, but of late, labor has formed itself into organizations that are , closely allied with other labor d of ganizations and are a sort of confederation. The Knights of Labor were unknown, a ,r comparatively short time ago. but I now they number, according to a recent statement, 500,000 men in e good standing with three times v as many, who have been initiated, and are still under obligations. is That makes two million men, in es cluded in one organization, and representing all classes of labor. is There are about ten million voters is in the United States. The Knights of Labor control one fifth of them. When a set of men have a real e or fancied grievance, and cannot 1C get what they ought, or think they j_ ought, to have, a strike is inaugu ,d rated, and it can be, and has been 1e followed up by other strikes to ne assist the original strikers, and is r, participated in, finally, by men who have not the most remote in in terest in the matter-except that ft they are Knights of Labor. One of the best illustrations of this is the e boycott of the Stetson hat. This hat, which is a first class hat, is n made in Philadelphia, and an or td ganizatioa of men who work on hats, say the hat. finishers, dis ' agreed with the Stetsons on a nat ter of wages, and struck. The strike was followed by a boycott of Stetson hats. Very soon a boycott 1. against the Stetson hat was opened in Mobile where the Knights of Labor waited on the dealers in hats and threatened themn with the boy l cott if they bought any more Stet son hats. A few days after, the Id news came from Dallas, Texas, that one of the largest firms in Texas re had been boycotted because they refused to stop dealing in Stetson hats. All this grew ont of a dis agreement between the Stetsons and a few men who worked for dt them, but these few men were It Knights of Labor, and other Knights in an entirely different Id line of business, who have no quar rel with the Stetsons, and who, most likely, never wore Stetson r hats themselves, have joined in the Ie fray, and made a serious affair of e it. 1e This is a very serious and far ig reaching matter, and grave conse quences may bu, confidently ex d pected, from such an ill conditioned state of affairs. Two millions of men all swung into line for a spec ified purpose, and absolutely un n der the control of a few men-the central committee, are a menace to the prosperity of the country they inhabit. he 's Oood ]mslts in Every CM.
