JOSEPH COOK II INDIA.

Joseph Cook has come to grief in India,
where he went with the purpose of con-
verting two or three hundred million

keep his hand in, as it were. But accord
ing to dispatch he had not been there
long before he fell foul of the Theosophical
Society, and took an early opportunity to
attack its President and Secretary, Colonel
0lcott and Madame Blavatsky, no doubt
with his characteristic ignorance and assur-
ance. The result was an answer to Lis
assault which demonstrated the falsehood
and malice Of his statements, and which
drew from an English officer high in sta
ton the expression of an opinion that he
was cowardly tlanderer. Not being able
to defend his position. and not possessing
the integrity requisite to manly and
honorable retraction, this itinerant calum.
niator has been compelled to leave India
in very dilapidated state, and without
having made any converts at ALL Joseph

among the Hindoos, who fully appreciate

Oicott and Madame Blavatsky to revive pop

faith. It was peculiarly foolish to open
his campaign with an assault upon those
active workers, and though Joseph Cook
could never have Effected anything in the

ignominous exit by this act.

The LABOR TROUBLES.

There are indications of serious labor
troubles during the present year, and they
are likely to be the more serious because
through the organization of the working
men almost everywhere their movements
are directed by men who, as a rule, ignore
altogether the conditions OF trade which
are responsible for the cause of difference
between the men and their employers, The
real origin of the labor troubles now com.
mencing is the slackness of trade resulting
from overproduction. That oyerproduc.
ton may be traced to the operation of the
tariff, which confines American manufact-
urers to the United States for a market,
and denies them the relief and expansion
which would be available If they had all
the world for market. The tariff has
built Chinese wall around the country,
aud by combining our manufacturers to one
market has exposed them to all the Gan.
gers of purely insulsr system. 0ne Of
the consequences of this state of affairs we
are witnessing now. The manufacturers
have been compelled to lower the rate OF
wages, and their workmen have at once

that they never take into account the
necessities OF the employer, but always
act as though the latter had the power OF
arranging trade to suit himself, and was in
no way dependent upon others. They
seem to entertain rooted antipathy
to all politico-economical considerations,
and consequently they have repeatedly
struck when candid consideration of the
facts would have convinced them that the
employers could not help themselves, and
had no alternative between reducing wages
and stopping production entirely. The
statistics of strikes show that they have
cost the strikers very much more than
they have ever gained by these move
ments, and this is because the organizers
of the strikes have not undertaken to
discriminate between unjust and necessary
reductions CT wages. Had the leaders of
the workingmen been really fair.m minded
and intelligent men, they would have
made this distinction principle in all
their arrangements; and if they had done
that it cannot be doubted that two most
important results would have followed.
They would have won every battle they
engaged in; ard they would have earned
popular sympathy, approval, and support
But when labor organizations obstinately
shut their eyes to facts, and stupidity in
sist upon having what they deem fair
wages, whether employers can pay or not,
it is perfectly clear that they must often
fail in their endeavors to secure their de-
mands, and that they must excite sus-
picion as to the justice and seasonableness
of their strikes at other times. 1t 10

system which shuts out the produce in
which he is interested, from the foreign

the workingman appears to be most in

county, amounting technically to the sum of
SIS 600 3S, but actually loss to the people
Of SIS. COO or $40, 600. At the request of the
District Attorney of this county, the Board
of Supervisors met to consider matters per-

following proceedings: An order was
made by the Board to accept an offer, alleged
to have been made by the railroad company,

that he gave the Garfield Rosecrans letter

"there is to be said. My motive, whether
personal or for the public benefit, is Of

course he knew that no public benefit
could accrue from such publication, but
the fellow thought to create trouble, and
to crafty his currish spite he has violated
two graves, and committed breach OF
confidence which would forever assign a
much better man to infamy and execration.
Moreover he virtually stole the letter, for
it did not belong to him. Probably he
also sold the stolen property to Dana, for
such hound would be sure to exact pay

"no more to be said," but he will fad
before long that the feat he has performed

calculated to be the reverse of compli.
