ALTHOUGH the leaders of the strik
ing telegraphists yet claim that they
will hold out until their demands are
met, it is becoming evident that they
will have difficulty in keeping their
forces in iiac much longer. Every
day records new desertions from
their ranks and wcakens their cause.
There are many thousands of opera
tors who can i'll afford the loss of time
which the strike has entailed upon
them, and IL is IL matter of but little
surprise that they should one 10y one
90 back To work in order that they
may cam Il living. The strike has
continued So long that it's greatest
power is gone. The strength of the
movement consisted in 80 crippling
the companies that work could not
be done. Instead of doing this the
places of the strikers have been par
italy filled, and the work has moved
along, probably with difficulty, but
sufficient Ia satisfy the more urgent
demands. AS it, now stands the strikers
are i'll the weak position. The wealth
of the company they are fighting
enables it to do much towards keep
ing biiSineS moving, and this
power will ali il ID dictate terms tn
the strikers. The boys are bound to
be the losers and we are sorry for it.
The present phase Of the strike is
the strongest argument yet presented
for government supervision. Republi
can governments are not oppressive,
and will not play freeze out"

GEO. W. BALLOU 4 CO.. one of the
heaviest firms doing business on Wall
street, New York, suspended last
"Wednesday. The house had been
considered one of the solidcst of the
brokerage firms in the city, and the
announcement of the failure cnpia
like thnnderbolt. The failure is at.
tributed tn the fact that customers
of the firm had not advanced the mar
gins needed to carry their stocks.
The number of heavy business fail
ures of late have given rise to the re-
sonable inquiry whether Il spirit of
speculation is not largely pcryading
transactions, rs was the case prior
to the crash of 73. Prosperity often
leads men To slight details, and many
wrecks are directly tracablc To the
fact that proper precautions were not
taken against possible changes in
business affairs. No success, how
ever great it may he, justilies Il man
in having no care for the future. In
business affairs caution is always de.

THE recent meeting in Minneapolis
between the millers of that city and
the representatives of eastern freight
lines, shows rather clearly how bad
Minneapolis is scared over the pros
pect of having II large part of her
wheat trade wrosted from her by
Duluth. IL was freely acknowledged
that Dakota and Northern Minnesota
wheat could be shipped to Duluth
and from thence by water to New
York. there to be manufactured into
flour, cheaper than it could be
brought To Minneapolis, there manu-.
featured. and thence shipped to the
New York market. Unless better
freight rates are given them, the mil.
lcrs of Minneapolis cannot meet such
competition, and rs u result many OF
the mills will be compelled to cease
operations The prospect is not IA
bright one for the millers, as it is
hardly probable that the railroad
companies can duplicate water rates,
and this will he necessary to check
the inroads of the Duluth market
The milling interests of Minneapolis
have been largely overdOne. and this
is but the first step in series which
will compel some of them to suspend
operations for a part if not all the
time. Their location will enable
them to lead in supplying the markets
of the west, but So long as water
rates are cheaper than rail, and she
has not the direct use OF the former,
Minneapolis will feel keenly the
competition of Duluth.
