THOROUGH WORK.

Los AhEeies paper contains the
following which is even more applica-
be to Seattle than to that city:
ut is remarkable fact that, not
whilst nding the business depression
and the money ssringency during the
past year, real estate values in this
city have held their rates up TO the
highest standard Of flush times, and,
in many central portions. they have
materially advanced.
mo one has ever lost a dollar by iu-
dicious investment in property here,
and great many people lave made
handsome competcneies.
An Increase of nearly one $50 per
cent. in property values ia five years,
- shown by the tax rolls, means for.
tuaes to oil wbo bought land or city
property with any kind Of judgment
during that time"
The increase Of values in this city for
five years past has been fully equal to
or above 40 per cent. as the following
extract from Northup's Business Di.
rectory sttests: During tho last five
years the actual value Of property in
the eoanty has increased from $685.
200 % in 1871 to $2. 1873 .O2s in 1876, or
an increase Of fraction more than 100
par cent. This immense increase is al.
nost entirely IN the city. Property
throughout the county has perceptibly
gained in value. AID is at present in q
healthy and prosperous condition; but
the city has far out-stripped the farm
ing country in actual growth and
wealth."

make Is in dissssociating the element Of
Improvement from land in their pur.
chsses. Investments should be made
with primary view to improvsbility,
and when made the improvements

THE STRIKE ON THE kANSA
CENTRAL.

Full particulars of the recent strike on
the extension of the Kansas Central road,
west o: Holton, gathered by our own re-
porters on the ground, leave but little room
70 doubt that the laborers had been duped
by designing parties, who had expected to
make money by specializing in time
checks"-that is, the certificates of indebt-
edness issued by the contractors to their
mea. The object seems TO have been to
create the impression among the men that
the contractors did not intend to pay them,
thus get up strike, and in the excitement
incident thereto buy mp the certificates of
the workmen at a discount. For this pur-
pose a ring had been formed of which the
man Hartman, WHO was killed, was evil
IDENTIFY one of the leaders, and was acting in
collision with other parties for the pur-
pose above stated. lie was evidently the
'outside" man, as would seem clear from
the fact that he had offered certain
OF the men seventy cents for their Ger
tiicates, and had upon his personwhen killed
large sum of money: This view of the
case Is strongly corrcborated by the fact
that when Mr.. Smith, the President of the
road, told the men that he would cash their
time checks, Hartman interfered, saving
they didn't want any OF Smiths money, but
wanted their pay from the contractors. All
the Circumstances, indeed, so to show that
the whole trouble was the result of a scheme
hxN up by Hartman and those acting with
HIN for the purpose OF specializing in the
stime checks

VERY UNIUgT.


Bat for al the trouble and al the quarreiing
during the excitement, the contractors Shine
& McJrystal are responsible. As We under
stand the matter, the railroad company paid
them, and they failed 10 pay The men, Inc
officers OF the railroad also, it j. stated, offered
TO pay the men II the contractors would fur
nish their "tirnen bu. This also the contract
ors either refused OF neglected 10 do Hence
the strike. ''-AtchisoE Champion
The very broad assertion ol the Champion
that the contractors are responsible for all
the trouble, is grossly unjust. The strikers
were evidently instigated TO the course they
pursued by parties who expected TO profit
by the disturbance, but there is no proof
that these contractors had anything 10 do
with il. Certain parties have s5umisod that
they had a hand in getting up the strike,
p but against these surmises We have the posi-
tive declarations OF Messrs. Shire q
McCrystal-both responsible men-that
they had no lot or part in the matter
whatever, and were doing their utmost to
prevent the strike and make everything sat
isfactory to their men. And the statement
of the Champion that the contractors re-
fused to give the men their time Is posi-
lively untrue, The contractors paid their
men for the month Of August in cash, and
gave slime checks" to all who were willing
to accept them, for the month OF ScPteIn-
her. The Champion must have received lis
information from some very unreliable quar-.
ter.
The explanation OF the affair given by
the contractors-which, by the way, is
very plausible, that the men were insti-
gated to the course they per5ued l.y citizens
Of jackson county who were opposed to the
issuingof the bonds to the road. Bonds
had been voted on condition that the road
should be finished TO 4 certain point within
given time. The grading was all done,
the track layers were ready TO commence,
and it was plain to all that if the work
went on the road would be finished in the
allotted time and the bonds would have TO
be issued. In order to prevent this, the OPP
ponents Of the bonds, working through
Hartman and his coDfederates, got up the
strike 10 prevent the track laying from go
ing on. This view OF the case is corrobor-
ated by the statements OF our reporter, and
OF all Others who were on the ground, to the
effect that the boisterous mob which sur
rounded the hotel in Holton, and demanded
the lynching of Capt. Tough and others,w
composed wholly OF Jackson county people,
not a solitry railroad man being in the
crowd. All the circumstances of the case
so to show that any theory of the riot
which makes the contractors responsible fo-
it, does those gentlemen great injustice

COOPERATIVE.

According to the Inter Ocean, the dry
goods clerks OF Chicago are preparing to go
into an extensive cooperative scheme which
promises fair to be success. The project
is described as follows:
Tney will get the names of fifty clerks, male
and female, all except a haif-dozen or SO I'M
married, and each possessing from 500 TO
s., 90 cash capital They expect TO raise from
the whole number $4,000. With this they
will put in stock OF goods
worth about s20oO0o, buying The
balance on time. They will elect a super
intendent, assistant superintendent, etc.

establishment. The stockholders will be
the proprietors, and the proprietors will be
clerks, aud the clerks will receive about the
usual salaries for such services. The profits
| If any, will be divided half-yearly. The an
| nouncement will be made that this is an at
tempt OF unmarried clerks to earn something
| for themselves, and enable them TO venture
on matrinony; and II Is expected that all tn,
unmarried ladies and all anxious mammas
in town will patronizs the new institution
out of sympathy.

In about two weeks from this the Con-
gress will convene in extra session, pur-
suant 10 the Presidents proclamation.
Ii is generally supposed that the Admins
tration will bring before Congress only the
special business OF the session, namely. APP
preparations for the army and navy, rem
dered necessary by the failure OF the last
Congress to provide for these branches OF
the government. 4 strong effort VIII be
made 10 induce the President TO ask Tor an
appropriation TO send q commissioner to
represent our government at the Paris Ex-
position. Ii is understood that Mr.. HAYES
is undecided on this point, though Mr..
Evarts warmly urges favorable action. The
eastern papers, OF both parties, pro-
fees to believe that nothing but the business
presented by the Administration will be
discussed IN the extra session, but We are
inclined to think they are mistaken on this
point. The people Of the west and south,
OF all parties, regard the question of finance
as the most important question now before
the country, and we greatly mistake the
temper OF the members from the western
and southern states ii this question is not
brought prominently to the front very
soon after the assembling OF Congress. 1t
ought not to take long to dispose of the APP
preparations needed for the army and navy.
The House can take up the bill agreed up
ON at the last session, striking out the OBJ
jectionable provision about employ
ing troops in the South, and
as for the navy deficiencies, there is no rea-
son why the demands OF Secretary Thomp-
son should not be complied with. He has
shown himself TO be an earnest friend of
economy and a bitter opponent of all forms
OF jobbery. He is not likely to ask for
more money than is required to maintain
the navy on 4 basis in harmony with the
general sentiment. All the business for
which Congress has been specially called to
meet could be transacted in a week after or
ganizing, bat the discussion OF the financial
question will occupy more time. The west
and south will unite in the demand for the
repeal of.the resumption act and the remon-
citation OF silver, and both these measures
especially the latter-will be bitterly OPP
posed by the money powers OF the East. 1t
will he struggle between the people en- the
one hand and the bondholders on the other.
and bids fair to be one OF the most earnest
and interesting contests ever witnessed in

Its motion is said to be south, thus it will,
apparently, rise toward the pole star. Com

tended beyond it, as was the tail OF Little

the center OF a surrounding haze. 1t must
soon become visible to the naked eye.

Capt. Z. Z. Braddock, an old and expert
enced cattle dealer who has shipped thou
sands of head of western cattle to the east
ern markets, has just shipped train load
by way of Leayenworth, and he authorizes
us 10 say, upon his responsibility, to all
those engaged in this line of business that
the best way to ship cattle to the east from
Colorado is through Leavenworth. The
Leavenwor.h people have always been
aware OF this fact, but rival points have
made so much noise about their facilities
that many dealers have been led estray.
The testimony of one such man as Capt.
Braddock, however, is worth more than a
thousand newspaper articles. He has had
large experience, he has tried all the rival
routds,a and h ..restimony TO the fact that the
best way is by way of Leavenworth will
not be without good effect.

and have had ample time to ad-
vertise the meeting thoroughly. The
Leavenworth folks last month patronized
the fairs OF all our neighboring towns very
literally, and it Is not too much 10 expect
that our ncishbors viii reciprocate, and

IS TO make all debts after resumption

ask is the reasonable restoration of the option
which debtors had Of paying their obliga-

Ne such Word ~ Peace in the Cars
Lexicon
rChfcago Tribune.1

A letter from our London correspondent,
which appears elsewhere in this issue,
throws some light on the origin of the ru-
mors of pending or contemplated peace ne
gotiations which are printed from time to
time. Almost invariably these rumors
first see the light ii; the Paris journals,
whose war correspondents entertain lofty
scorn for facts, but are prolific
in invention. Whit was true in
London two weeks Ego is true to-day, and
will continue to Ss true-that is, that with
her military prestige impaired as it has
been by this seasons disastrous campaignin
Bulgaria and Asia Minor, Russia will not
entertain the idea of peace, much less take
the lead in any negotiations to that end
Until the Gar has retrieved the defeats his
army has suffered, the word peace may be
considered as dropped out of the Russian
lexicon.
