ANEw GLIMPSE
ArOund the world at prominent events which have
trApspred since my last letter would I'll many lines
good part Of which news has probably reached you
by sailing vessels leaving here in July. Newspapers
have had reason to complain of late. The eondi-
tion Of affairs with the Indians IN Idaho TERRITORY
where white settlers have been slaughtered BY the
wholesale, and the eAmPaigu against them under
General Howard; the destruction Of the fine we'll
bull, city Of St. John, New Brunswick BY FIRE: the
execution Of large number Of the notorious, mur-
derous Moilie Maguires, Wbo, for twenty odd years
have been the domineering business and political
terror Of the vast coal regions Of Pennsylvania the
rumPus created IN New YORK between Mr. Hilton
tthe representative of 4. W. SteEart and Mr. Selig
m&n and all other Jews because the former closed
the dOers Of bis Saratoga Hotel against the latter
the progress Of the in the East which consists Of
the advance Of the Rnssis1s into Turkish Territory
battle after battle With the terrible carnage Of erei
less foes, perehing victory the Turk and now
the Russians; the great Railroad strike all over
the country, with the anarchy, and immense destruc.
tion of property and reign Of terror which followed
the weapon Of the murderer and the torch Of the in
eeudiary; the uprising Of the citizen in all the i'm
portant cities from the East the West and the for
nation Of Vigilance Committees to protect life and
property; all these events have made the morning
and evening papers irel! and entertaining reading
during the past six weeks.
GRIEVANCES.
This has been the trouble with the lAbOFiug men Of
the country. Hard times have come, economy is
the rule with the great employers, wages we're cut
down to such figure Is must cause even the very
poor man 70 change his mode Of living.
Before thai change Wouli be made by Railroad
employees the strike resortei 70 after long pre-
parzti0n. The strikers who gathered 70 their nun
ber all the idle and obsolete characters in every
place charged upon law order, and good gOvsrnne1t
Municipal Government especially has been put to
quite severe test, bat citizen sol3iery always
ready at moments notice TO defend the state
has eO-oPerated with the uunieipal, State and
Federal GOFsrnnsnts and now order is again re-
stored.
1t is announced that the effect in Eugland of such
strike by the lAEless and dissatisfied ia this eouu-
try has been very demorAli1ing TO United States
credit and Institutions. The corporations which
have suffered the Ices Of million. in the destruction
Of their badings, cars engines bridges tracks etc
by the mob must be reimbursed by municipality or
the state in which the riot occurred thus the loss s
restored by taxation which falls upon the poor as
well IS the rich. But what can restore the knndreds
Of lives which have been destroyed in some sections
In feW Instances have Railroad Com pauies Weld
ei to the demands Of strikers but most Of them have
held fast to their frst determination to reduce wages
Since The elOss Of the strike W II. Vanderbilt has
ordered the pAyusut Of SlOQ 900 among the employ
ees who remained faithful to the road. Certainly

Within six meaths - roads, representing nearly
$50 ooe 900 Of stocks and SIS zoo Gee of debt
