The English Trades-Unions.

Democrats Monthly for December.
While IN this country the employing
class have looked with great disfavor
on trades. s.unions, in England it is be-
ginning to be admitted that these labor
organizations have done a great deal
of good. In the old country they are
really proyident institutions, and do
more to prevent strikes than to cause
them. Indeed, the figures show that of
the money that they raise, not one dol
lar in hundred is employed in carry
ing on war between capital and labor.
Mr.. Frederick Harrison furnishes some
very interesting facts about tho English
trades-unons. Seven of them in six
years spent Sl0,000,00O in support of
their members out of work and Tor
other charitable purposes. Of that
large sum only SS00,00O was used in
settling strikes and other labor dis
putes. The same writer shows that as
the unions grow innumbcrs and money
resources, strikes are less frequent, for
the men do not wish to waste their
money, while employers stand in some
awe of those just combinations of their
own workmen. Undoubtedly the abil-
ity of men to organize for the preser-
walton of their rights gives them anad-
vantage over women workers, who can
not very well act together.

o thou Guest, SO long DELAYED,
Surely, when the house was made,
In its chambers, wide and free,
There was set Il place for thee.
Surely in ZONE room was spread
For thy sake snowy bed,
DeCkcd with linen white and fine,
Meet, o Guest, for use of thine.
Yet thou hast not kept the tryst.

Other guests have tarried long,
Moved by sunshine and by song;
For the year was bright with May,
All the tirds kept holiday,
All the skies were Gear and blue,

Youth came in with us to dwell,
Crowned with rose and q, phodcl,

Can not quite his hlupts forget.
Love hath sat beside our board,
Brought us treasures from his hoard,
Brimmed our cups with fragrant wine,
Vintage Of the hills divine.
Down our garden path has straycd
Young Romance, In light arrayed;
JOY hath Hung her glrlands wide;
Faith sung low at rycn:ide;
Care hath fitted In and out;
Sorrow strewn her weeds about;
Hope held up her torch on high
When clouds darkcned all the sky.
Pain, with pallil lips and thin,
Oft hath slept our house within;
Life hath called us, loud and long,
With voice as trumpet strong.
Sometimes we have thought, o Guest,
Thou vert coming with the rest,
Watched ID see thy shadow fall
Or the inner chamber wall.
For we know that, soon or late,
Thou wilt enter at the gate,
Cross. the threshold, pass the Il or,
Glide at will from floor to floor.

The threatened cholera epidemic has
called attention to the great plaques
recorded in history and glance at
some of the events may reconcile us to
grateful feeling for the comparative
freedom from pGstilence in late years.
OF the earliest plaques OF which there
are any account those described in
Exodus occurred in Egypt, 1l9LB, G.
In 53i B. G. there was plague at Car
thage so terrible that parents sacrificed
their children to proptato the gods.
In 1S7 B. G. in the Greek islands,
Egypt and Syria people died at the
rate of 1000 n day. In Rome \. ID. so
10000 persons died daily. Another
plague at Rome A, d. 256 took OIL
5000 day. In i30 Britain was scourgcd
so that the living were hardly able to
bury the dead. During the years 7iG-
749 Constautinoplo lost 100000 OF its
population. At Chichester, Englan',
in 672, $4,000 people died, and in 9ji
Scotland lost 10000. Ireland was sore
ly visited in 1l72 aud 1904, and again
in 1889. At that time 200 people
were buried daily in London. In llO7
London lost $4,000 citizens. There
was a fearful pestilenco at Oxford
in 174t. The dreadful sweating sick
ne's" occurred in London in 1906
and again in 1917. In most Of
the towns half the pooplo died,
and Oxford was depopulated. In 1922
thousands were swept away in Linn
erick. The sweating sickness rcviSite
England in 1928 and again in l55l. In
1904 80, ,57S people perished of plague
in London. Constantinople again lost
200, ,009 people in 1911. In 1925 Lon.
don lost 35,4l7 inhabitants. In 1852
Lyons lost 10000. In 1856, 100000
people died at Naples in six months.
In 1864 London's great plague took of
6S,596 inhabitants. In l72O 6n,OJO
people died at Marseilles. In l773 So
900 inhabitants of Blssora, Persia,
died of the plague. In 1892, 10000
persons died of plague in Egypt. In
Barbary 5000 people died daily, and
in 1873, 247, 900 people perished at Fez'
Asiatic cholera first appeared in Eng

The Continent.
| A good deal of attention has recently
boon paid among students of animal
intelligence 10 tho power of compre-
hcnsion Of human speech shown by GER
tain of the lower orders of creation.
The foregoing anecdote is told in sup
port OF the theory that understanding
is due to tho effect of tones rather than
words, and that such is tho case would
seem TO be iadicated by tho behavior
of mules under the stimulus of " pro-
fesSional "swearer." Who that has
heard u western plainsman "swear" n
mule team out of slough can forget
the cumulative effect with which the
climax is reached. 1t is said that on
some much travelled routes there are
certain drivers who are sent for in case
of trouble simply because they can
persuade" moro work out Of q mule
team than the combined lashings of all
the rest of the train can whip out OF
them.
1t must be admitted, however, that
the scope of English in the way Of
picturesque swearing is vastly wider
than that of any other language oil
civilization. We do not say this in
apology for the ungentlemanly and
wholly inexcusable vice of vulgar pro,
family, but because it affords an exam
pie Of the superior flexibllity of Eng,
lish as form of speech. We doubt il
there is any other language whose cur.
rent coin 'of .expletives can be usot
with any effect on n western mule
team. The oaths of French, Germans
aud Italians are comparatively harm
less, and are capable of but few varia
tions. English, therefore, may posi-
bly, DO the most comprehensive to thu
animal creation, simply because of th,
readiness with which it lends itself t
what may be termed the denunciatory
scale.
