THE LESSON OF A GREAT STRIKE.
 It is the opinion of many who have care fully investigated the matter that laborers never find strikes profitable. Be this as it may it is certain that many of them are very unproftable. Such has been the great strike of s'the amalgamated ironworkers'' of Gin cinnati, which has just ended after being in progress nearly five months. The iron workers demanded an increase of twenty per cent. in their wages. Their demand seems to have been exorbitant, for they were re. ceiving about five per cent. above the wages paid for the same service in Pittsburg The millowners of Cincinnati offered to make an advance in wages provided the Pittsburg mill owners would advance their rates in propor- tion. This the latter declined to do and the former decided to stand out against the de- mand of their late operatives. The Iron- workers Union bullied or bought off every man who sought to fill the place of striker. The mills were closed for want of hands The Union at first supposed it had won an easy victory and that it's members would be taken back at the twenty per cent. advance of wages demanded by them. But the mill owners proved as obstinate as the hands. They resolved to shut down production until the strikers came to their senses. The one league fought the other. Several efforts at compromise were made on each side without success. Time, as usual, favored the en- ployers The Union fund was soon all spent and many of the strikers and their families were reduced to extreme want The Union leaders, whose salaries depend on the main tenance of organization and discipline at all hazards, prevented any serious breaks in the ranks although hundreds of the men would have been glad to resume work at old rates. At the close of October the mill owners had the men at their mercy, and the latter could have been forced into terms of submission far more exacting than those finally offered But it was resolved to show magnanimity in which trades unions are lacking. The employers consented to take back the strik- CTS at the old wages, which, however, will be reduced per cent. on the 1st of January. On every issue the Union was beaten out of the field.
 During the progress of the strike the 2,oOo men who engaged in it have lost $1, 300, ,0OO in wages, and they have not gained anything of value by living in idleness and spending their savings or the savings of others. Their egregious folly and it's results ought to prove a useful lesson to others inclined to follow such unwise counsels as led them into trouble

Am interesting meeting HI
 marks of the Hon. w. w. Phelps.
 A recent number of the American Register, published in Paris, contains letter from Vienna, in which the following reference is made to the notice taken in Vienna of the death of President Garfield:
 The Hon. w. w. Phelps, our minister at this court, was absent from town when the sad news reached us, but within few hours the legation was appraised of hrs immediate return, and meantime Consul General Weaver and Mr. F. J. Vinton exerted themselves in the distribution of private and printed call, inviting Americans present in Vienna, and any others who sympathized with them, to meet on Thursday at 12 o'clock noon at the Lutheran church, which was kindly rendered for the purpose.
 At the appointed hour the church, which IS situated near the U. s. Legation, was filled with a gathering of earnest and intelligent people, apparently all Americans by birth or adoption, the sacred building being tasteful lv draped in black and decked with flowers. A few minutes after twelve, Consul General Weaver, stepping to the front of the chan eel, in few words stated the object of the meeting, and called upon our Minister to preside.
 Upon taking the chair, Mir. Phelps said :- stFellow Citizens Ladies and Gentlemen We had hoped it would be spared, the blow so long threatened and so long withheld. Vain; it has fallen. Garfield is dead, and the Nation mourns for it's Chief Magistrate and the world for a good man.
 ''It is proper that little band of Ameri- cans, happening, by various chances, to be in this distant capital, should assemble to commemorate such loss. We have changed our skies-not our hearts. The sky is Austrian, the heart is American. We are caught by the circuit of national sympathy which to day catches all American wanderers and connects them with fifty millions of fel- low-countrymen, who, in their own land, stand by the grave of murdered President. With them let us gather sad pleasure in re- calling his worth. With them let usmourn for our country, but not as those without hope. The life of the Nation is above and beyond the life of any citizen. A bullet may kill James A. Garfield, but the institutions which nourished him are immortal. Never can they die until we forget the epitome of republican duty-which Rome formulated, but could not follow-and we despair of the republic, and cowardly let it receive detri-

The first cost to the city of the water works, if the city should buy them, is not so important 8 matter as some would make it, but it is safe to say that it will be more than the sum named by the maj ority of the con- mittee of the Superior Court. Supposing that it is only $1 ,5oo, 900. This is arespect- able sum to add to the city debt, and when the enormous expenses that will follow the purchase are taken into account the tax payers may well decline to burden themselves as they are asked to- If the purchase is made, in five years from this time the waterworks will have cost the city at least $2,000,000.

No little concern is felt by persons inter ested in the harbor accommodations of Lake Ontario by reason of the assured fact that the level of the lake has fallen steadily, and in marked degree, for many years. The records have been accurately kept, and leave no room for doubt. Many wharves in many ports were formerly accessible to vessels which cannot now come near them. The en- trance to the harbor of Toronto has been kept open only by means of thorough dredg ing, and now, when rock-bottom has been reached, there is scarcely enough water to float the largest of the vessels which seek to pass Various explanations for the subsi- denee of the water have been offered, but none of them seems to be adequate.

An Italian professor has just issued a ghastly volume on suicide. In all the world it seems Calabria stands lowest in the scale of voluntary death. Norway stands third, and Ireland fourth. England and America are very high, and the recklessness and mis- cry which make life insupportable reach the maximum in the centre of Europe, from Geneva to Paris, and through Saxony, Baden, Prussia and the Austro- Hungarian provinces. The snan German States are the very high est. Suicide has increased everywhere for the last forty years, even in Ireland, where the figure is so low, from ten in the million to eighteen in the million of population, while England and America have mounted from 62 to 68, Prussia from "A to 142, France from 54 to 15o, and Saxony ruslles on with an average of 264.
