Ths resnllg Of the strikes we're:
In Me- history Of the various strikes ii

In the history OF the various strikes in
Massachusetts that at the mills of the
Salisbury corporation in 1852 is reported
as remarkable because of the slight cause,
the class Of persons engaged in it, and the
serious results. The employees at the
mills were all Americans, all members OF
families long resident in the town. The
rules OF the mills had never been strict.
Nominally the mills opened at 8 A. NJ: and
closed at 7P. NJ, with rests OF half an hour
| for breakfast and one hour for dinner. 1t
was the custom, however, TO give the
operatives fifteen minutes each halliday
for lunch, This had been the custom Tor
thirty years. This privilege for lunch was
greatly abused. Men would go out OF the
mills in the forenoon on private
business, and frequently the fifteen
minutes absence was extended to an
hour. In April 1852, the agent OF the mill
resigned, and q new agent tpok charge,
and be, on May 81, gave notice that this
lunchtime, or privilege, would DO abolish.
ed, the new rule to take effect the next
day. The next day one hundred men
left the mills at the usual lunch-time, and,
on their return, were discharged. The
village was greatly excited. Inc Wnole
population had grown up with the mills,
and they all sided with the operatives.
Public meetings were held and speeches
made. A committee was appointed to
ask OF the directors restoration OF the
luncheon privilege. The directors refused
TO interfere. The female operatives
struck work. The poet Whittier. who
then resided near the mills, prepared the
series Of resolutions which were adopted
demonstrating against the sudden abolition
oftime.honorsd privileges The corporation
however, refused to yield. To add to the
excitement the flannel mills at Amesbury,
a neighboring village, at this time also
abolished the luncheon privilege. The
original trivial disagreement rapidly grew
Into open war between the villagers and
the miil-owners. The mills after while
resumed work with foreign help. The
opposition so seriously interfered with
their business that for many years they
suffered financial endorsements. Final,
", not one person OF the original native
population was connected with the mills;
they had all removed elsewhere to obtain
work, and the industrial population oil
the town was wholly changed.

juring in the name Of Grant in order to
to oyerwhelm and defeat the real popular
favorite at Chicago. These politicians find
their own names impotent to compass
their ends, and the use they make oil
Grants name has been such as TO rob It oil
much OF It's potency. People like Grant,

INDIANA Republicans have the right to
be heard. They say they can elect a Re-
publican to the United States Senate to
succeed Mcdonald if Washburne, OF
Edmunds, or Window, or Blaine is nomi'
mated for the Presidency. They say they
cannot do this on the third.term issue. II
Indiana can elect Republican, with the
other States that are expected reasonably
to replace Democrats with Republicans,
such as Connecticut and New Jersey, the
Senate will be tie; and a Republican
Vice President would decide on the right
side. Can the Republican party afford to
throw away this chance?

wArrERsoS, OF the Louisville Courier
Journal, has matters figured down to a
fine point as to the Democratic party in
It's entry on the Presidential canvass. He
says, editorially:
1t is our fixed opinion that, with sin.
gle exception, the Democratic party can
elect no individual President OF the United
States this year but Mr.. Tilden. That
single exception is the candidate named
by Tilden. 1t is our fixed opinion that
we cannot maintain ticket in the field
six weeks unless 1t be headed or heartily
supported by Mr.. Tilden.
We suppose the candidate the old Usu-
iruct would name is one Samuel ]. Tilden.
In that case it is our solemn opinion that
General Grant, even handicapped down
by the widespread hostility to Third
Termism, would most probably beat him,
that Blaine would be certain to defeat
him, and that Washburne would have q
walkaway from him.

was right who said "city folks have
no business with snow, they don't

use for it here il New York, where it
only serves to make the detestable

fore noon of the 3lst, the snow began
to fail; late in the afternoon it changed
to sort Of driving sleet, and by nigh,
the streets were one vast glare Of ice,
rendering locomotion dangerous if not
impossible. Falling horses and som
ersaulting pedestrians crowded all
the great avenues, adding to the &c,
neral confusion; and, l regret to say,
that Notwithstanding the sacred asso-

travellers legs flew from under him
on the unstable and treacherous pave
ment, tile command to "swear not at
all" was forgotten for the nonce, and
the most powerful forms of ohjurga-
ton, though sandwiched with forcible
and profane adjectives, afforded only
temporary relief for sore heads and
bruised limbs. III spite Of the dread
full character of the travel, the streets
were crowded with people aking
purchases of presents for the new
year. Our old friend Santa Claus had
not quite found the bottom Of their
purses, but little still remained to
make the hearts of their frie,ds and
relations glad. New Years was a

while all tile great officials, as we'll as
