OBITUARY.
Leon Gambetta.

NJ. Leon Gambetta, the chief representa-
tive of modern French Democracy died at
Paris on the first day of the new year De-
ceased was born at Cahors in 1883, and be-
came member of the bar of Paris in 1S5a
At the fall of the empire he was made Minis
ter of the Interior, and in October, 1870, he
proceeded to Tours and was for some months
dictator of those provinces of France which
remained free from the German invaders.
BY the death of Gambetta France loses her
greatest, If not her wisest, statesman. Sell
dom has man dying at the age of A
achieved more prominent place in the
worlds history. He had hardly been ad-
mitted to the Partisan bar before he ac-
quired fame as a forensic speaker, and in
the year 1859, when he was only 80 years of
age, he was immensely popular in the city Of
Paris on account of his eloquent advocacy
of advanced Republican principles But it
was during the dark days of the investment
OF the French capital, by the Germans in
1870, that Gambetta attracted to himself the
attention OF the world He was nominated
Minister of the Interior in the Government
OF the National Defense, and exhibited the
highest qualities of administrative ability.
How he passed the German lines sur
rounding Paris in balloon, so
as to confer with the Delegate
Government at Tours, is fresh in the mind
of every reader. He then became almost
dictator OF that portion of France which
was not overrun with Germans But the
raw, undisciplined army with which he
sought to drive the Germans from French
soil melted away before their trained and
veteras enemies From this time on the ca
reer OF Gambetta has been intimately asso-
ciated with almost every change In the
many changes which have occurred to the
French republic. He was a power among
the people and in the Chamber of Deputies

How India Rubber Is Adulterated.

The higher the price of crude rubber
which it is subjected for manufacture
into clothing, hose, springs and all 9th
er forms of general use. This adulter-
alton is practiced by grinding up old
rubber, vulcanized rubber, already re-
worked and adulterated rubber of all
sorts, old shoes, old hose. old rollers,
etc, and mixing it with a small percent
age of the pure, fresh material. This
admixture it is that causes the modern
rubber shoes to pull to pieces so easily,
clothing to crack, hose to burst, springs
to crumble, and in all other sorts of
rubber the development of such fragili-
ty and unreliability as it never used to
possess. s.--NelU York Sun.

The Pickle Trade.

On account of the great progress
made in the pickle industry within the
past ten years in this country, the inn
ports of fancy English pickles have
fallen off at least one-half during that
period, although common picked GU
cumbers are largely imported still. Gu
cumbers grown in this country for pick
ling mostly come from New York, New
Jersey, Illinois and California, the in
dustry being a special one in some of
these States. The annual crop of the
country is estimated at 100,000,0O0. The
crop is generally contracted for in adj
vance, and some large growers have
this year contracted their crops at 81 80
to 50 per 1000. The manufacturers say
that so little of copperas now enters
pickles that there is no danger to a
moderate consumption of them from its
use. Uncolored pickles also find ready
market Gr0f0p VisifOr

THE LABOR TROUBLES.

1t has been estimated by competent sta
tisticians that by the labor strikes made
and threatened, and likely to be made this
season, fully $50, laborers will be de-
prived of work. If the strikes, according
to the average of duration found to be true
in the past, hold good for forty days, and
the basis of loss be placed at only one dol.
lar per day per man, the loss to industry
will amount to 100000. Judging the
future by the past, which has established
the folly of strikes, as rule. the loss will
be complete and irreparable. But if it be
admitted that an advance of 25 cents will
be secured on the basis of 81 per day as
stated, the remaining days of full year
will not compensate for the loss during the
forty days of the strike. The Dallas
Herald, in contemplating the situation,
puts the matter very concisely and peril.
nently in this language 1.-THE idea of
laborers throwing away 1000, 900 every
four days is preposterous, and neither labor
nor capital can stand it. 1t is doubtful If
all the strikes that labor has INDUCED in
for the past ten or twenty years have &C.
complished an iota of improvement or ad-
vantange to the cause of labor at large,
while they have thrown to the dogs mill
ions of money, and caused widespread suf-
fering. The great difficulty will always be
that strikes are contrary to the first prin.
ciples of business, political economy and
liberty itself, in that they attempt to in
terfere with and regulate business by
forced and arbitrary determinations.
