Street Cer STRIFE Again.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1s.-The
drivers on several lines of the Memphis
street railway struck this morning, and
travel has been greatly interrupted. The
cause of the dissatisfaction is due to re-
ducing the pay of all the drivers who
have not been in the employ Of the COM
pany for a period of six months, from
121k cents per hour to 10 cents. The
strike was general and commenced at 6
O'Clock this morning. The company
managed TO send out q few cars on each
line, but by 2 o'clock the strikers began
to intercept travel by throwing the cars
from the track. The police were called
upon but the meagFe force was unable TO
give necessary protection, and the
stranded cars were TO be seen in all
directions. Three or feurlarrests were
made and at this hour each car is run.

Three Of the new drivers who began

that the black mantle of depression is

Indian Affairs.

ST.. LOUIS, Aug. 16-It is the opinion
of those who are we'll informed in regard
to the situation OF affairs on the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe reservation In the
Indian Territory, that the government
will ultimately have trouble with those
Indians as the result of the recent action
in relation TO the cattlemen. AS rule
there was great cordiality existing be-
tween the cattlemen and Indians, the IN
terest of the former leading them to cul-
tivate friendly relations with the latter.
II was a frequent occurrence that party
of Indians, when out hunting, would
stop at the ranch of q cattleman, leave q
portion of their outfit. borrow fresh
horse or two and obtain such supplies as
might be needed. These visits were en-.
couraged by the whites, and occasionally
they would stop at an Indian village
when out hunting, or i'll the pursuit OF
their ordinary business and obtain
like courtesies from the Indians. A
very large majority of the Indians fol
the past two years have been receiving
directly from the cattlemen for the use
of the grass, which the Indians could
not and would not use, a semi.annual
payment of money which to them was q
large sum. This gratuity Is stopped,
and Its withdrawal will be felt as a
greater deprivation by comparison with
what its possessoTs were able to do when
IN receipt of it.

A Photograph of Grant.

There is in existence photograph
of General Grant which is of pa
thetic interest at this moment. 1t
was taken during the last winter of
the war, while the headquarters of
the army of the Potomac were at
city Point The photograph may
have been instantaneous, for there is
no appearance of posing for it.
Grant appears in the door of his
tent, with one arm raised grasping
the tent-pole. He is in the simplest
field uniform, the coat is unbuttoned,
and he wears the soft hat with the
twisted cord of the service. The
face is thin and heavy with care,
and the whole figure denotes self
forgetfulness if not detection. The
utter absence of parade, the entire
simplicity of the attitude, the rude
ness of the surroundings, would ad-
wise no spectator that this was the
iron commander of great armies,
the man upon whom the hopes
of the Nation at that moment
centered. Upon his skill, cool
ness, tenacity, mistaken faith, mil
lions reposed implicit trust. 1t was
weary waiting; wealth was wasted
in streams, debt was accommodating,
foreign powers were threatening,
treason was brewing, precious life
was poured out like water, and the
land was full of mourning. This
General, silent, intlexible, stands
there at his tent door, apparently
unconscious Of observation, not so
much looking abroad as communing
with himself, bearing in every line
of face and figure the impress of
the heaviest responsibility and Of
vicarious suffering. No note of com
plant, no sign of relenting, no con
seriousness of the show of power,
but lust at that momen6 patient en-
durance in his own wasted person
of the woes of an anxious Nation.
Upon him, at that instant, rested
greater responsibility than upon any
other living man; upon him cenered
hopes, entreaties, prayers, curses,
bitter criticism, brutal disparage-
ment. He is in the attitude of bear
ing it all, with the capacity of suf-
fering and of carrying the burdens
of others without complaint which
is the mark of greatness. Perhaps
if he had failed, perhaps if he had
lost his cause and disappointed the
hopes set upon him, this picture
might to-day have been more utter
ly pathetic than it is, but remember
ing what the man had endured, and
was still to suffer before the final
triumph of the people through him.
the simple figure is not wanting IN
any of the heroic elements that
touch the hearts of men.-HarJora
