From that hour be never allowed

begin to do this is they first
raise the pen to write, whether it be

better for the teacher lo lake the

NEW YORK LETTER.
STRIKING rOB SHORTER
REALISM ON THE
Regular of
New York, May 1st, 1891.
As the first of May draws near,
the disturbances in the industrial
world become more and more pro-
and the struggles between
employers and their workmen in-
crease with each day. The
demand for an eight hour work day-
is becoming almost universal and
many trades been successful in
obtaining it, while many others, no
doubt, will soon follow after. Every-
day brings forth a number of strikes
in this city, but of late these are
more numerous around the first of
May than during any other time of
the year. It is also a remarkable
thing that the strikes now taking
place are mostly, not for an increase
in wages, but for a reduction in the
hours of labor. This, to my mind,
indicates a large amount, of thought-
on the part of the workmen,
and that they have a steady object
in view not of an entirely selfish
character. The reduction of the
hours of labor is on the line of true
progress, for by such means the
workers receive some of
of labor saving machinery. At
the same time, employment is given
to more workmen, thus by pursuing
a broad minded policy the. workers
materially assist each other.

rugged, honest sort, who by frugality
and toil has succeeded in saying
sufficient money to liquidate a

over his treasured homestead. Just
on the eve of payment the old yeoman
discovers that Ins savings have been
stolen, and blow almost breaks

REFORM AND PROGRESS.
This week has been a
town election and Greenville has
a new Board of At
an early day these will hold their
first meeting for the purpose of
organizing and beginning their
work for the fiscal year. What
lines are to mark their
is as yet unknown, but it is
hoped the tendency mil be to gen-
improvements. believe
the sentiment of the new Board is
against calling an election upon
the question of issuing bonds for
public improvements, so they will
have for operation only the usual
tax resources of the town as levied
by the retiring Board. Under the
old regime that been in vogue
of late years those resources have
proven but little more than
to conduct the affairs of
government, with naught loft to
make any improvements of con-
note. However, with a
little more economy and fore-
thought in the administration,
there might have been
rated some improvements

beneficial, as we will suggest
on.
It is conceded on all sides
the town should be progressing.
A town that is not progressive is
a dead town, and Greenville wants
no such appellation. The

the Reflector begs the
of making some suggestions
and telling how they can make
some improvements.
In the first place, there is a
great deal more money in
administering municipal affairs
than there is any necessity for.
There are two salaried policemen
while one would be sufficient.
Greenville has no more need for
two regular policemen than the
Court House has for two steeples.
The town is not able to pay
for no profit. Let the new
Board make a reform here by
selecting one good man to per-
form the police duties of the town,
and a saving of several hundred
dollars annually will be the re-
Again, the custom of employing
a force of hands after every rain
to throw out the sand from the
drains on Evans street, and a few
other streets, is an expensive and
needless one. Of course there is
no citizen of the town but who
would like to see Evans street par-
in good condition, but
there is no permanency as yet
about what has been done to it.
There is occasional talk that
Evans street, together with that
portion of the streets leading from
it to the wharf, and Dickerson
avenue to the depot, should be
shelled or made substantial in
some other way. Save the money
wasted in the old of working
these streets, and the salary of one
policeman, and in two years it will
amount to enough to pay
shelling the entire distance
from the wharf to the depot, or
very near it. In this way great
and lasting good can be
for the town without any
increased taxation upon the

On May 19th the delegates of
tho Alliance and Labor Unions
will meet in to take
into the forming of
a third party. From the best we
can gather it looks as if the West
was in favor of a third party, but
the South is opposed to it. The
situation of the country does not
demand a third party, and it is to
be hoped that no third party will

The House in the Michigan

that the bill will become a law as
the Senate and Governor are said
to in favor of it. This is a step
in the direction of electing the
President by the people directly
as ought to be. If that law is
passed in Michigan it will give the
Democrats at least seven Electoral
votes in the next College. Some-

bill for Ohio, and if the nest Leg

Nina at first and put the thought aside,
but it kept returning. When I spoke to
her about it first she made fun of me,
laughed at the idea of your being
changed, more than the years would ac-
count for, and thought I couldn't see
that she was evading and slipping away

stronger I got out the package of photo-
graphs of himself my cousin had sent

of which I had ever seen. None of them
was in the least like you, and no stretch
of imagination would make them so.
You seemed a totally different man.

had made, and which I did not notice at

dim way realized that it had been hard

John's. He wrote a delicate, student's
hand, almost like a woman's, and yon

and a heavy stroke. I couldn't endure
it any longer then and made Nina tell
with a pretty moss agate pin for Mrs.
Hart and a diamond ring and bracelet
for Phyllis.
During the journey eastward Royal
elaborated and discarded so
many interviews with his wife, and of
such diverse forms and endings, that his
imagination developed rapidly under the
exercise. Had he been called on at me-
moment he could have furnished a dozen
thrilling and impossible situations and
still have had power remaining to evolve
new and infinitely more
complicated. And, as events in this life
rarely justify anticipations, not a single
one of the predicted situations at all fit-
the reality.
An hour after his arrival in

to Mrs. Hart's with the avowed in-
of demanding an interview with
