CLEM STCDKBAKBB. Apply the Proper Remedy. It is evident from the present condi­ tion of labor that a great and distress­ ing change ha3 been and is T ending. To make a mistake In deciding why this condition of industrial unrest and idleness has set in would make matters wo.se. To fairly understand what the trouble is intelligent actioa can be taken. The Democratic party proclaimed the old Calhoun doctiine of free trade. The people elected them on that issue. As soon as tbis was done business ad­ justed it>elf for the change. It meant the destruction of our industries or a heavy reduction in wages. To look elsewhere fo • the disease and to apply any other remedy than protection will only prolong the disaster, We are In the midst of what our past experience teaches us would re­ sult from the electi >n of a party to power that would abandon the pro­ tective policy.

EXECUTING AN INJURED FLY, How m W. Y. ATKINSON. Returns from the Recent Elections Show -Big Populist Gains. Sixty-three members of the next Georgia Legislature will answer to the Populist roll c-U the first Wednes­ day In November, when that body meats. Four Con- fjre slonal districts of Georgia may elect Populist Congress­ men in the national election, which oc­ curs on the same day. The majority of W. Y. Atkinson, for tho governor­ ship, will be only about 10,000, instead of the 7^,000, which was given to Gov. Northen two years ago. These are som3 of the lesults apparent from the ollicial i eturns received from Wednes­ day's elections. To a lar^e extent, a dispatch tays, the contest for the governorship has teen fought on national line*. The State platform called for the immediate free coinage of silver, witho .t respect to the wishes of foreign nations. The inofficial te- turns at lirst indicated that tho State had gone Democratic by o0.0< 0. But these figure*, as the official counts were made, rapidly dwindled until the Dem­ ocrats do not claim more than 18,000, while the Populist* declare that re­ turns from the country counties will reduce the majority to not more than 10,000. Several of "the strongest Dem­ ocratic counties in the State have been carried by the Populists, and with but few exceptions every county in the State shows Populist gains. WOMEN IN THE FIGHT. th3jf Join the Crusade Against the Relgi of Vic* and Corruption. If New York City is net purged of crime within a reasonable time it will be surprising. There are movement! within movements looking towa'-d a cleaner and morally healthier municl* pal life, and many earnest men and women are singly devoted to the pur­ pose of putting aa end to the frightful corruption that has made New York n torious among the great cities of the nation and tbe world. The call issued by Dr. I'arkhurtt asking the women of New York to c -operate in the work of reform, met with a generous response, hcores of influential and refined women, well versed in the problems of city government, have signified their intanticn of entering tho crusade again t vice. Most of these belong to existing societies and are admirably.equipped for the wo-k they have now undertaken. These ladies are encouragod to enter heart and soul into the reform movement by the brilliant success of their sisters in Kentucky in defeating Col. Breckin­ ridge. They know that now the enter­ ing wed'^e has bren driven by the Lexow investigating committee into maladministration in their city tha road is opsn for a successful assau t upon the i owers of ovil which have so long he'd New Y«>rk in bondage. Dr. I arkhurat never made a in re polit'c move than when ho invited the c - operation in hi w rk of tbe refined ladies of the republic's metropolis.

Qasrtrt of luseeta Fat * Burned > Brother to Death. Flies are not usually accredited with great intellfgence, bat an fl!na» tration observed last night goes far to disprove any idea that they a.o entirely bereft of thought, , It wn near midnight and a writer for the Philadelphia Call laid aside his pen for tbe day, but was constrained to remain at the desk by the strange ac­ tions of a quartet of flies Ooe un­ fortunate buzzer had flown too near the gaslight and had been so badtjr singed that he could not tfy. Quito helpless, be lay on his back struitgling to overturn himself. He almost sue- • ceeded, but so painful were his ef­ forts that mercy suggested the speedy killing of tbe insect. But the mani­ fest agitation of four unusually large Hies prevented a hasty execution. Is * great excitement the quartet circled around the unfortunate, remaining within a radius of twelve inches. Gnc pair seemed to touch heads, and In an instant one of me two went savagely for the injured brother. : After contending with him for a brief time the first helper left, when,witlk- uut lapse of manv seconds, the sec­ ond or the pair went through tbfk same performance. Here was a puzzle that reauired close study to solve. Were the flies striving to aid the suf­ ferer, or did they want to kill him, either because of his uselessness or to relieve him from pain? Seventeen times were combata-** tor such they soon appeared to le-- had. Tbe i!y, lying on his back; fought and apparently sought to keep olt the big luseeta As near as th« eye could determine, they seemed to strive to reach the neck of tbe suf­ ferer. There was a short, sharp fight each time. A few grains of su/ar were placed on the desk, but the fighters were too greatly absorbed to notice them. More powwows ensued, and three attacks followed. Then tbe four were frightened by an at­ tempt to catch them. One fly, nob of the quartet, was captured and placed under a glass with the wing, less member. Five minutes the stranger flew around wildly, not going near the burned fcliow. TUQ glass was removed, and in the course of ten minutes four flies were again on the scene, trying to kill tbe small insect It was then nearly 1 o'clock a. m., and the Observer, failing ta inveigle any into a trap, retired. Eaily in tbe morning tbe tly that caused all the trouble was found dead, with the grains of sugar lying around him undisturbed. ^ . * i ^ 5 XMsreepectral Prtnaa When Louis, Prince of Condei wfet afterward became a great general at France and one of the most famout men of the seventeenth century, wai a boy at School at the Academj Benjamin, he exielled in gymasties and also in a certain kind of personal audacity. As the future head of on« of the most powerful princely housea of France, he was much courted and "toadied to"--a circumstance which did not greatly please his boyish di» position. 1.. One day he was met on the road to school by the village justice, who made bim an extremely low bow, and remaining in the bowing attitude, began a sort of oration to the young prince. Louis did not care to go away and leave the functionary in this atti* tude, but be did worse. Placing both bands on the shoulders of the obse­ quious townsman, he jumped clear over him, a la leap frog, and brought up behind bim. Upon this the justice turned about, bowed again, but not so low as before, and recommenced his ora­ tion; whereupon the young prince once more put his hands on the great man's shoulders aud leaped over feia head. This time tbe orator did not sume his d scourse, hut wont down tbe street grumb mg. At this lime Conde was 16 years old; and when we read, in connection with the incident, that in the very next year he was given au import­ ant military and political command in Burgundy, we are not surprised to learn that he became an arrogant and tyrannical man. All his circum­ stances. and educatiou h?d tend§&!9 spoil him. : ; Sugar AND Diamonds. It can now be said with perfect truth that a lump of sugar may be turned into diamonds Net all the substance of the sugar will enter into the composition of the gems, but only the carbon which it contains Sugar consists of carbon united with oxygen and hydrogen in the propor­ tion to form water. Tbe carbon can easily te separated out. and in some of tho tecent ex­ periments or the production of dia­ monds this sugar carbon has been employed The diamonds so far pro­ duced are very small and destitute o( commercial value; but still they am real diamonds, and the < hemical triumph achieved would be no greater intrinsica ly if they were as large aa the Kohi noor. „ Of course it is not meant by what has been said above, that carbon pr»» ; pare i from su^ar is the only carbon used in the experiments The graph­ ite from whicb lead peiicils un- made serves the purpose . ust as well and still other forms of carbon may bet employed. The hope is now he'd out that aa improvement in the process of mana^ fa:turing diamonds may soon be effected whereby the nacessity of dissolving the carbon in molten iroa may be dispensed with, and the quired combination of great pressu o with great heat be brought about by some such operation aa squeezing the carbon between red- hot metal plates.
