Strikes and Arbitration.

About fortnight since there ended
strike of the shipbuilding trades upon the
Clyde after duration Of six months. Ten
thousand workmen during the greater part
Of that time remained unemployed, losing,
on the lowest estimate in wages alone, from
$3.50, 900 to $40O, ,OOO What the master ship
builders lost we are not informed, but,
apart from the loss OF interest on their
sunken capital, there is story, welcome
enough to us, that they have been losing
trade which has come to America. Here,
then, is a case for capital and labor in this
country to study with advantage. The
struggle in theshipyards along the Clyde had
been SO bitter and its tension so severe that
both sides were glad in the end to approach
q settlement of their differences in a sobered
frame Of mind. The proposition for set
tlement came from one of the largest GUS
toners OF the shipbuilders, showing that
while the labor and capital directly involved
in the dispute might continue to fritter
away their forces in losing battle for both
there were other interests which could not
stand by without an effort to bring it to an
end.
A marked increase in the shipbuilding
business in the beginning of the present
year was seized by the men as good ground
for demanding increased wages. This was
but were again refused, and early in April two
thousand shipwrights 'struck." The other
trades continued at work, but six weeks later
the masters decided on retaliation by gen.
eral "lockout," and ten thousand men We're
discharged. For three months the vast in
dustry of the Clyde was absolutely sus-
pended not sound Of labor was heard in
the shipyards. The process of exhaustion
was in progress. At length, toward the
close Of August, the masters accepted the
principle of arbitration, and some Of the
men went back to work Professionally at the
old rates, the shipwrights and iron workers
holding out seven weeks longer, but at
length yielding to proposal, which seems
so fair that it is painful to think SO much
time and money should have been wasted
on both sides before arriving at it. Each side
is to name an arbitrator and the two arbi-
traitors may select an umpire. They may hear
evidence where information is necessary.
Their decision is to be binding, and in case
IN increase of wages is declared just the
award is to be retrospective, going back to
the time Of the mems return to work. The
questions submitted to the arbiters are
"Did the state Of trade on the Clyde at the
time Of the strike warrant or does it now
warrant, the Clyde shipwrights in seeking
an advance of wages? If SO, what ad-
vance?' After our painful experience here
during the railway strikes We may well
watch with interest the progress Of 30 inn
portant step in the adjustment Of the two
great industrial forces, and hail with pleas
ure everything tending to seasonable set
tlement by nm intellectual process Of troubles
which IRE at present left to the crude and
often brutal remedies which labor and capi-
tal alternately apply.

The Ohio Election To-Day.

The chief interest in the Ohio election,
except within the State ITSELF hinges on the
question whether President Hayes is TO be
indorsed by his own State. The President
and Secretary Sherman naturally feel great
deal Of solicitude on this point, rs do also
Mr.. Conkling, Mr.. Blaine, General Butler
and the dissatisfied republicans whose SEN
timents have been expressed with more plain
ness by Benjamin Wade than by any other
republican opponent Of the policy OF the
admin istration. If Mr.. Hayes loses his own
State in the first election which takes place
after his Inauguration Messrs. Conkling
and Blaine will attempt to turn the
loss against him by holding it up
as o proof that his policy is weak
ening his own party even in that part
Of the country where he is held in greatest
republicans should carry Ohio to-day by
fair majority, the republican opposition to
the new policy will be discouraged and mat
ters will 60 smoothly enough for the Presi-
dent during the extra session of Congress
which is to begin next week. In the only
that of Maine, the republicans are so strong
that they were in no danger OF losing the
State, and even had the parties been more
evenly balanced Mr.. Blaine would have de-
sired success as means of maintaining his
own influence. But republicans Of Mr..
Blaine's way of thinking in oil parts
Of the country would not be sorry to
witness republican defeat in Ohio,
which they could use to embar-
tass the President and discredit his
policy. But all his supporters desire re-
publican success in Ohio. Mr.. Hayes car
ried the State in 1875 when he was elected
Governor, and again by an increased ma
jority in 1876, when he was running tor the
Presidency, and the prestige Of his great
position would have made third victory
easy if his policy mad not caused differences
in his own party. He may think himself
fortunate if the party barely escapes defeat
now, or even if it should elect the Governor
and lose the Legislature, since an equivocal
success would be better than sheer defeat.
The prospect in Ohio is SO very doubtful
that nobody can predict the result. That
the supporters Of Mr. Hayes ore anxious
and alarmed is proved by the fact that the
Ohio clerks in Washington have been sent
home to vote which seems ridiculous
enough, in view of the fact that fifty thou
sand republicans in that State who reside
within their polling precincts will not take
the trouble to vote. Neither Mr. West, the
republican candidate for Governor, nor Mr..
Bishop, the democratic candidate, has ex-
cited any enthusiasm in the canvass. The
supporters Of either would gladly sell him
out tor majority of the Legislature The
Ohio Legislature serves two years, and that
chosen to-day will elect United States
Senator to succeed Stanley Matthews. The
republican majority in the Senate has be-
come so very slender that the election of
every new Senator has become matter of
national interest.

We doubt whether there is farming district
in the State capable of making better Agri-
cultural showing than that which surrounds
Bloomington. Not only are the soil and sur
face of the country unsurpassed, but the
people as class are much above the average
in Intelligence and in that pride in their call
ing which makes it a browning glory. The
fair this year comes just after the gathering of
a splendid harvest. The husbandman has
more than usual to rejoice over. In past
years the Blake's Prairie people were wont
to meet at such times and have a harvest fcs-
tival. What better occasion could present
itself ihan Friday, the last day of the
fair, for every citizen of that beautiful coun-
try to have such a reunion and rcjoicing--in-
vising all the rest of the world, who choose,
to join with them. All they want to carry out
the arrangement is to have some one make
they could find man better adapted to that
undertaking than Cyrus Sargent, Speech or

the suggestion and have the largest gathering
of farmers ever in the county. While think
ing of the pleasures of reunion, however, the
interest in having a splendid exhibition Of
farm products-for which Nature has done her
part this year-and good mechanical aud
handiwork show, should not be forgotten.
The business men of the villages OF West
Grant will find it to their profit to make pro-
fuse exhibition of whatever they deal in, and
the ladies viii promote their pleasure and
welfare by contributing anything worth see

and see if you can't do something proper
