The announcement that the Austro-
Hungarian army is to be mobilized is intelli-
gence of the gravest importance, In these
days a mobilization means preparation for
instant war, since no state can afford to keep
a huge army on war footing without max
ing some use of it; and Austria, especially,
cannot, since there has been but one year
since 1868 in which the expenditures did not
exceed the revenue, and, of late, the latter
has been constantly diminishing, while the
expenses of the state have uniformly in
creased. When mobilized'an placed on
war footing, the Austro-Hungarian army
consists of eighty regiments of the line, con-
tanning 4S5,00O men; fourteen regiments, of
$4,000; one regiment of Kaiser jaeger, and
thirty-three battaions of Fed;jager, contain
ing "a 900 men; fourteen regiments of dra-
goons, two of lancers and fourteen of hussars ::
in all IS, 900; twelve regiments of field artil-
lery, y,having fourteen batteries of s pieces EACH
and twelve batteries of fortress and two of
p1ountain artiery-a total of $4,000 men,
The engineer department, with pioneers,
train men and torpedo corps, contains Al, 900
men, and the miscellaneous and irregular
troops and establishments contain in all 49,
600. The last official report includes the
troops of the reserve, and brings the army,
on war footing, up to S3S,700 men. Of
course, not all of these are available for the
war on the Danube. Probably 100000 men

Sharing the Burdens

Workingmen do not take into account the
facts that capital as well as labor is suffering
severely from hardships, and that labor a.
well as capital ESQ closely are the two re-
lated) must make great sacrifices. For the
last four years capital has been wasting
away. Business has everywhere declined.
The consumption of goods in the manufac-
ture of which much capital has been en-
ploYed, has greatly diminished. In conse-
quence there has been much less transporta.
tion by the common carriers, and for the SER
vice of the carriers much less has been paid.
In this state of depression no business in the
country has suffered more than the railway
business. The,shrinkage in railroad securi-
ties in the past three years has been more
than two thousand million dollars, sum
larger than the national debt. The amount
of railroad bonds in default is eight hundred
millions. These figures show what enormous
losses the railroads have sustained. To-day
less than half the railroads in the country pay
any dividend whatever. Considering the
great losses which the corporations have met,
their diminished business, and the smaller
compensation they now receive, it is not to
be expected that the wages of their employees
alone should undergo no reduction. So long
as the railroads earn but small proportion
of what they formerly received it is impossi-
BILE that they can pay the old rates for labor.
The strikers are unreasonable in their de-
mands. They shared the general prosperity
of business, and the wages paid to them far
exceeded any wages ever paid before in the
world. When business began to suffer and
capital to meet with great losses, they should
have known that labor must suffer also, and
wages be reduced But the pernicious doc
trine that there is natural antagonism be-
tween labor and capital blinded them to the
truth, and they imagined that by striking
they could bring back the period of high
wages, that by crippling the corporations and
destroying their property the corporations
could afford to pay better for service. They
must now see, if they reason, that labor and
capital are. dependent on each other, and
that when the one is in bad estate the other
must be poor.
1t is said by some of the strikers that the
depreciation of railroad property is due not
to bad times but to bad management. To
some extent this may be true. But the COM
plainants in that case should be the stock
holders and not the employees. This bad
management gave employment to many
men for long time at good wages, while the
stockholders footed the bills. Let the suffer-
ers call the unthrifty managers to an account
of their stewardship. If violence is justified
by suffering, then the stockholders and not
the laborers should be the men to fly at the
throats of railway officials.

ENGLAND is greatly troubled over the re-
ported massacres by the Bulgarians of the re-
treating Turks, and thinks she ought to in
terfere and stop the slaughter. Considering
her indifference last year while the Turks
were burning Bulgarian villages, outraging
the women and numbering the men, her late
ly awakened indignation will be regarded
with suspicion as savoring more of selfinter-
est than of justice. That the Bulgarians
should be guilty of cruel acts is to be regret
ted but is not unnatural in view of the op-
preston suffered by them for centuries.

THIS is a fair specimen of st. Louis con-
ceit: The editor of the St. Louis Republican
writes after having seen the Apollo Belvidere
"The impression made on the average visitor
by the marble deity is not nearly so powerful
as one would expect from its worldwide
fame. Five hundred better formed men
than the Apollo can he found in St. Louis
without any trouble, and the figure tells nc
story, and therefore makes no appeal to the
Imagination"

IT is pretty safe to assume that the events
OF the last two weeks have put quietus
upon all Texas Pacific raids upon the nation
al treasury. AT least it should be taken for
granted that such raids can now make no
headway. Until the Government can sus
tain and promptly pay force sufficient to
meet all demands for the ample protection o f
existing railroads, it would be farcical in the
extreme to ask it to aid in building new
ones. II straw were needed to break the
back of the Pacific subsidy, the strikers have
furnished it.

unless there is perfect understanding with
