Rise and Decline of Strikes.
A record of the strikes in the
United States for 1881-86, from the
United States bureau of labor statis
tics, has been supplemented by a re-
port bringing the record down to
1894. The former record showed a
great increase of strikes, culminating
in 1886 with the riots and Haymar-
ket masacre at Chicago. The fol-
lowing totfls for the periods by both
reports are tabulated and comment-

A letter to the World describes
a recent interview with Gomez in
Cuba. Of the Cuban forces Gen-
eral Gomez said: “We have 35,
000 well armed men. No one
knows how many there are armed
with the machete alone. Garcia
has eight cannons. I have one or
two. Rodriquez has two, and
there are 4 in Pinardel Rio. We
have levied a tax of $200,000 to
buy more artillery, We will take
all the eastern towns then. The
Americans with me are as brave as
lions and cool-headed. I use them
for the artillery. Major Osgood
was a magnificent officer. He was
killed while sighting his piece at
the taking of Ginmaro.”

In Cuba we have seen the invidious
and pitilesa hand of Spain crush a
peace-loving people into ruin and
starvation. One of this world’s
fariest lands has been reduced to a
barren desert; inquisition has been
resurrected, and with the aid of
modern improvements has cursed
human lives with an appslling and
abhorrent cruelty, a whirlwind of
murder and butchery has swept
through the Tiills and valleys of
Cuba. And while this foul outrage
has glared the world in the face our
government has hardened itself to
the crime, and has steeled its heart
against the oppressed and dying.
Public opinion the country over has
demanded in the name of heaven,
that this government, so well able
to do so put an end to the repellent
bloodshed; still have its eyes and
ears been closed to all appeals.
America has not been hindered by
international affairs such as burden
the powers of Europe; America is
as free as air. Yet America, who
knows what bondage is, who has
struggled and thrown off the fetters
of an intolerant government, America
who stands for all that ia free,
America the queen of the world,
will not give a helping hand to those
suffering as she has suffered. But
ss sure as there is a right and a
wrong, there must some day come
a reckoning for the crimes of Spain.

“It will be observed that, after
1896, strikes, taking the number of
establishments involved, decreased
in prevalence until 1890, when there
was a sudden increase to almost the
extent of 1886 over 1885, and
another decline followed by the
widespread disturbances of 1804
which culminated as in 1886, in the
Chicago railroad riots. The two
years of 1886 and 1894 stand out
above all the others, both in the
number of establishments involved
and the number of workmen thrown
out of employment; but the causes
were different. The former year
witnessed a revival of business ac-
tivity from the depression of 1884
and the strike were generally for in-
crease in wages. In 1894, however,
we had very hard times and strikes
against wage reductions.
“But the most instructive and sig-
nificant figures of the table are those
exhibiting the proportion of estab-
lishments involved in which the
strikes failed altogether. There is a
gain on the whole in the percentage
of failures, which is too marked to
escape notice. During the eatly
part of the period represented, about
two thirds of the strikes as respects
establishments involved wholly or
partially succeeded. But more re-
cently the proportion has declined,
until in the last four years the failures
have exceeded on the whole and par-
tial success. As a weapon against
capital, therefore, the strike is los-
ing its force. Labor has been un-
able to keep pace with capital in
forming powerful combinations.
United labor, it is demonstrated,
cannot equal in power united capi-
tal, and labor seems to be realizing
the fact. Evidences are not want-
ing that labor is beginning to lay
more stress upon political action
than upon mere unionism.”—Scien-
tific American.
WHAT FOOLS WE MORTALS BE.
The Devil Consigned to Flames by the
Salvationists.
Salvation Army hall was packed
to the doors again last night, and
many who came late were unable to
obtain admittance. The “burning
of the devil” was the programme.
The devil's head was represented
by a fashionably trimmed lady’s
hat, and furnished the theme for a
short sermon by Mrs. Hamilton on
the waste of time, health and money
by the devotees of fashion.
A paper heart, with the word
“Deceit" painted in large, black
letters theron, was exhibited to the
audience to represent the heart of
the devil, while a paper tongue bore
♦he words “Gossip,” “Scandai” and
Lies.” These two organs were
analvzed and summarized on brit fly-
by Captain Hamilton.
A rough sketch of Skeptic Inger-
soll was exhibited also by the Cap-
tain, though he did not state just
what part of the devil's anatomy, it
was supposed to represent. How-
eve' , it furnished the basis for an
earnest talk on the sin of unbelief.
The devil’s tail was represented
by a pack of playing cards, strung
together like the tail of a kite, and
the evils of gambling were forcibly
presented in connection therewith.
Then a hideous picture of the
“old enemy," with pitchfork, horns,
cloven hoof, etc., was swung upon
the platform, the lights were turned
out, bltmand red fire was lighted on
the platform, and amid the shouts
and hallelujahs of the Salvationists,
the effigy of Satan was lighted and
consumed.—Houston Post.

One of the greatest needs of the
times, the News thinks, is more men
with nerve, a degree of nerve that
will impel them to stick to what
they believe to be right. When we
say “nerve” wedonot mean pugilis-
tic bullies, but men whowill not be
swerved from honest convictions by
selfhinterest or fear or favor. We
know it is hard, often, for men to
lead off in the face of what seems to
be the best political interests of their
friends, but if they would do it, it
might help these same friends in
after years.

prospects for a large fruit crop in

Col. Ingersoll said:
“Of course I’m for Cuba. An
American who does not sympathize
with people who are fighting for
liberty is a disgrace to his country.
Cleveland and OIney seem to love

If McKinley does not sympathize
with the Cubans I will admit that I
have been awfully mistaken in the
man.”
AS OFT VIOLATED LAW.
The commissioners’ court in many
of the counties violate the following
provisions of the statute, found
under the head of “Miscellaneous
Offenses,” Chapter Six of the Penal
Code:
Articles 359, 276. If the com-
missioners* court of any county in
the state shall wilfully fail, neglect
or refuse to make, or cause to be
made, a tabular statement of the as-
sets, expenditures and indebtedness
of such county at each regular term
of the said court, specifying therein
the names of creditors and indebted-
ness of such county at each regular
term of the aaid court, specifying
therein the names of creditors and
the items of indebtedness, with their
respective dates of accrual, and also
names of persons to whom money
has been paid, with the amounts
paid each during the quarter for
which such statement ia prepared,
or shall willfully fail, neglect or re-
fuse to publish an exhibit showing
the aggregate receipts and disburse-
ments of each separate fund for the
quarter in some newspaper pub-
lished in the county (or if there be
no newspaper, then by posting such
exhibit in at least four public places
in the county), immediately after
the first regular term of each calen-
dar year, or shall fail, neglect or re-
fuse to post such exhibit made at
the third regular meeting of said
court in each calendar year, at the
courthouse door, and at least three
other public places in the county,
the members of the court so failing,
neglecting or refusing, shall be
fined in any aum not less nor more
than one hundred dollars.
In this county, especially, has this
requirement been overlooked, as
the quarterly statements of expend!
tures and receipts has not been pub-
lished in years.—Terrell Times.
And Grayson county might be in-
cluded.

No one is allowed in the kitchen,

small national banks are to be sn-
it> the mare sparsely settled
portions of the country, the qoestio
arises whether they should be purely
local organisations or branches of the
great metropolitan banka The old Unit-
ed States bank had branches which, by
virtue 0t their connection with a large
central institution, had aunt advan-
over the local banks with which
they competed, bat were in mare than
one instance the objects of advene Mete
legislation This spirit of local hostility
to a bank located in another city, and
perhaps another state, left memories
which still survive and which aooount
in part for the opposition to branch
banka
Bat the experience af England and
Scotland, Canada and Australia, ia
strongly and uniformly in favor cf large
central banks with many branches The
banka cf Canada are able to maintain a
singular uniformity in the rates of in-
terest in the great commercial centers
and in the remote ^rioultnral regions
because the banks at Montreal and To-
ronto have their branches in Manitoba
and the Pacific region and oan transfer
the surplus capital of one locality to
meet the deficiency in another aait can-
not be done by wholly independent
l The conditions in Canada are
much like those of the United
States, and the success of the Canadian
banka in doing what we recognise the
importance of having done is entitled to
great weight in oar oonsiderationa. In
Scotland it ia well known that the
branch system has greatly favored thorn
agricultural Interests which in our own
country are so much in need of financial
accommodation.
The preponderance of financial testi-
mony is decidedly in favor of the branch
System, most of the opposition to which

rial interests, jealous of strong oatrids
competition. There is a feeling at dis-
all banks which is born cf ig-

The Peril to Amarinan Democracy.
John Clark Ridpath, ia tha March Arana.
On the whole there has been
manifest decline in the force and
prevalence of the bold, free democ
racy ot our fathers. They who
ak of the current prevalence ol
fersonian principles speak noth-
ing but ignorance and delusion.
Gradually the imperial spirit has
entered our national consciousness,
gradually it has supplanted the radi
cal sentiments and principles of the
founders of the Republic. Gradu-
ally it has transformed, and is trans
forming our institutions. At no
particular date has this transforma-
tion been alarming; but the aggre-
gate result has become dangerous
in the extreme to the preservation of
our old-time liberties and to the ftir-
ther spread of these liberties and the
rights of men. It is not too much
to say that the democratic republic
which was instituted by our fathers—
by declaration, by battle, by sacri-
fice and patriotic consecration—is
rapidly becoming, or has already be-
come, an imperial republic, not
without its striking analogy to that
imperial republic of Rome, which
preceded the empire.
