CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 17.-Judge
Stevenson Burke being asked what the
Hooking valley strike cost all the interested
parties, said:
As near as | can estimate it the reduction
in the gross incorse of the Hooking Valley
railroad since the commencement of the
strike, and caused by it, is, as near
as l can get at it, between 5000,
600 and $1,000, 900. The reduc-
ton in net income from the same cause
would he about $500, 900 | should say that
these figures would represent fully one half
the loss to everybody except the miners
themselves To them it would be much
larger than that, because they have lost
not only what we have lost, but what
other miners have produced. | would put
their loss at $500, 900. They would
have been able to have mined !, 800, 900 tons
ofeoal that they have not mined, and prob
ably more than that OF course the strike
has had its effect on general business in the
keeping of other people out Of work, and in
the destruction of property. The total of
this would amount to very large sum, per
hapi $500, 900 The property destroyed
would amount to several hundred thousand
dollars

THE PRINCE IN IRELAND.

The Prince and Princess Of Wales are
having fine time in Ireland; but because
they are well received on their visit II
must not he inferred that the Irish hate En-.
glish rule any the less The Irish are a
polite people, and Of course would not show
discouriesy To their royal guests But po-
libness is one thing and loyalty is quite an.
other. The Prince and Princess have con.
dacted themselves with great discretion, so
much SO as TO have captured the hearts Of
their hosts. A Dublin dispatch, speaking
Of Princess Alexandria, says "The Prin-
cess Of Wales captured the populace at
once The refined beauty Of her face and
ihe elegance OF her figure were most artist.
ically set off in special costume Of green
which had been made for the occasion. The
dress was composed Of close-ftting, dark
green velvet bodice with a silk skirt 10
match. and Princess bonnet, trimmed with
beads and dark green feathers" This trib.
nte to the Irish colors, 80 deity aud beautl
fully made, must have made her Royal High.
ness be recognized with approving admi.
ration.
We trust the royal couple will have a
good time in "the land Of story and of
song," and that when they return home the
Prince will bend every energy Of mind and
heart 10 right the wrongs Of unhappy Ire.

FRENCH DEMOCRACY.

Brisson is said to be contemplating radl-
cal measures which will extend over wide
area of the French government. The cable
tells us that the proposed changes are: The
abolition of the Senate, liberty Of the press,
the secularizatlon of religious property, the
separation of the Church and State, reform
of the judiciary, compulsory education, tax
alton by the revenue, and reduction Of the
taxes upon articles Of food and drink. The
new minister will not undertake all the en-
umerated measures at once. Even French
facility would not meet NJ Brisson's ad-
vances cordially, If he sought to proceed SO
far at the beginning of his administration.
He is playing, perhaps, the old trick which
is tried by all rulers Of his people of inter-
esting them with something striking in or
der TO gain time.
While this is true of M. Brisson, who is
an opportunist, and does not mean to take
the risks of pressing whole series of Dem
ocratic reforms, yet that he permits the an
nouncement to be made shows there is a
feeling among certain classes in favor of ex-
actly the amendments mentioned. Keeping
in mind the temper of the French, and how
it would naturally be affected by late trou.
bles, prediction that Clemenceau and his
radical friends will hold the rein of power
before long is not extravagant. More likely
he than the Comte dc Paris. France is moi
ready for monarchy, and if she were there
are too many warning claims. The people
may want a change, and the transition to
Clemenceau would be easier and more tc
the present taste.
The Brisson ministry is not democratic
enough to be in earnest in the policy as
cribed to ii in the dispatches which have
come to this country. The policy itself has
better chance now than before, and Glenn
enceau is not among the impossibilitles.-
Brisson may be the make-shift to prepare
the way for a peaceful democratic revolu
ton under the leader Of the lett. The
changes he cannot make himself he an
nounces for the hereafter.

This increase in the low prices which this
