purposely taken by the employers
TO bring about strike and suspen.
sion,
But far more common cause, it is
probable, is the pressure which an
advance in prices has brought to
bear upon those who live by wages.
This advance, though mainly caused
by the partial failure of crops, has
been greatly increased in its effect
upon retail prices by speculation in
products. Undoubtedly this has ma.
terially enhanced the cost of living,
for laborers as for everybody else,
and probably even more for those
who are obliged to purchase small
quantities at time, or to board, than
for those who buy at wholesale.
Even the wholesale prices at New
York, however, have advanced near.
" - per cent on the average during
the past year.
Practically the wages of labor have
been temporarily reduced by this in.
crease in the cost of the necessaries Of
life. But the working men would
he wise to remember that the increase
is temporary, and due to disasters Of
which they have not hitherto serious
ly felt the consequences. Good crops
in all probability, will cause prices tc
tumble again within few weeks o.
months. 1t is worth the while of thu
workmen to consider whether thu
losses of a strike may not better be
avoided by enduring some ineon
yenience for a time.-N. Y, Tribune

Within scarcely more than 81 month
two Maryland towns have been swept
by the flames. Early in March nearly
every building in Prince Frederick,
Calvert's county seat. was destroyed
by fire, and Sunday morning two
thirds of the business portion OF
Crisfield was laid in ashes. In both
instances there was absolutely no
apparatus on hand with which to
fight the fire, and the flames swept
along until there was nothing left to
burn. At the fire at Prince Freder-
lex there were many valuable court
records destroyed which can never he
replaced. The same was not true in
the Crisfield fire, hut the loss was
sufficient to materially cripple the
town. There are plenty of other
Maryland towns in the same unpre-
tected condition. Let them take warm
ing from the unlucky fate of Prince
Frederick and Crisfield.

certainly belieyed would be four
years at least. Since he is a Senator,
as he was before his brief experience
in the Cabinet, Mr.. Window will
not look upon his big, new house as
white elephant; still it is probably
as true of him as of Mr.. Blaine that
he began building with II view to the
requirements of a Cabinet officers
residence. Perhaps, otherwise. both

There is a suspicion In West Wiz
ginia that Senator Dayis's refusal to
be candidate for a third term in the
United States Senate was only a
shrewd move to draw out his oppo-
nents and test the popular sentiment
on the subject. When he has permit
ted his rivals to slaughter each other
and has led the Democratic press
unwittingIy to commend his public
career. The Wheeling Lntelzigencer
thinks that he will be found in the
field, and "the decided chances are,
IT his party has the votes to elect a
Senator, that he will be the man."

The Ohio Senate has passed what
Is known as the Horn Redistricting
bill. Calculating on the basis of last
years vote, the Republicans would
be able to carry under this arrange
ment seventeen of the districts and
the Democrats four. There is some
doubt about 1t passing the House.
1fall plans for redistricting the State
fail, the Republicans are talking
about nominating Governor Foster
for Congressman-at-large, trusting to
his popularity to call out a full party
vote. The Democrats are believed
to be coaching ex-senator Thurman
for the same place on their ticket.

The Philadelphia Times does not
regard the local Democratic victories
tn Ohio and Michigan as very signifi-
cant. as may be judged by the follow
ing language: General cussedness
seems to haye struck the Republicans
in the unimportant local elections in
Ohio and Michigan. The beer ques.
ton toppled Cincinnati over against
them because of the new license law
and Cleveland topped with Cincin
natl. These are the sort of elections
the Democrats win now and then,
much to the profit of the Republicans,
for they expend their cussedness in
off years, initiate the Bourbon Demo-
Gratis with hopes of success, and then
brain clout them when important
elections comes around"
