LANSING, Mich, Sept. 20, 1885.
MIR. EDrToR-The following state
ment tends to show to fair extent the
amount of wagee thatcould have been
earned by workingmen in the Saginaw
Valley had the mills not been forced
to close during the so-called strike In
July and August, 1885. In one or
two instances, the estimated cost OF
putting uncut product on board YES
sells was not given, and no answers
were received from seven mills and one
boom company, so that the magnitude
of the loss to the wage-earnrrs is in no
way over-statej, but, on the contrary,
had all reported, the total unearned
wages would foot up at least $3.50, 900.
Take the boom company, which to-
day has 40S persons on payroll
amounting to $342 q per day, besides
board, and the cash loss in wages at
the low estimate of 39l days closed is
$40, 900. 80; to this add estimated price
of board, $40 per month, and the act
ual loss to the boom. company men is
Sf4, OS1. 80. When It Is understood
that the men who sustained this loss
were among our most industrious and
honest citizens; that they had not ask
ed for increased wages or decreased
time, and did not strike; that Their EN-
ployers had made no changes in their
wage position which should cause the
men to strike; to the contrary, work
was being prosecuted in nearly every
mill in Saginaw and Bay counties,
when an armed force drove the men
from their work, and caused nearly
the entire industry of the Saginaw
Valley to stop, the question arises:
who is responsible for this infringe
ment upon the rights of the working
men, and the great financial loss they
have sustained2 Should the response
BILE parties be punishedl Perhaps the
readers of your paper may be interest
ed in solving the question.
Respectfully,
Commissioner 81 GTNaDor.

THE KING Is DYING.

Fool, stand back! the king is diving;
Give him what little air remains,
See you not how he gasps and strains
Hear ye not how he gasps and strains
10 catch one other stentorious breath?
God! how he labors! yes, this is death!
Blow up the fre-his feet are cold;
Ay, though king, he cannot buy
One brlefest moment with all his gold;
His hour has come and he must die,
Withered and wrinkled, and old and gray,
The king fares out on the common way,
Light the tapers: he's almost gone;
Stir, you fool! tits past the hour
To cover and cringe, and aatter and fawn-
The thing lying there is shorn of power.
Henceforth the lips of the king are dumb;
Bring up your CHASTITY visticum.
Absolve his soul; need enough, God wot!
humble and sprinkle, and do your STRIVING;
Yet, methinks, here and there shall be left a
blot,
Hideously foul, despite your striving.
Nor purple quilts, nor pillows of lace,
Can relieve the guilt in that grim old face.
Soft! stand back-it is his last;
Get hence! your priestly craft is DER;
For him the pomp of the world is past
The king that was is king no more.
Let the bells be rung, let the mass be said,
And the kings heir know that the king is
dead. IL. B. Kenyon.

occurred to me that the man who pulled
the guy line was one of those who bet
that the feat could never be accomplished,
and my indignation mastered any reac-
tlonary feeling of fear. You see, many
thousand dollars were bet upon the abil-
lty OF Blondin to carry man over, and
human cupidity stops at no sacrifice.
Then there were the congratulations and
praises of pluck and the rest of it, SO that
in my foolish boyish elation I forgot
everything else. do remember, as we
approached the shore, the wonderful tab
leau OF 100000 people as they stood gaz-
ing at us. Thousands of them turned
their faces away, or, half turning, cast
glances over their shoulders at us. I re-
member their white faces, their strained
positions of anxiety-women who stared,
white and motionless, and men who
wept, and, as we drew near the bank the
crowd surged towards us, and Blondin
stopped, fearing they would push each
other over the precipice. Then the crowd
was still again, and with quick run we
came to the shore and sprang to the
ground. remember one man Selling
me in his arms and lifting me high up in
the air, saying, Thank God, this thing is
over! From the other side there was a
cheer and then we were thrown into a
carriage and drawn to the International
hotel by the people.
IT crossed again, twice.. the last time
under the patronage of the Prince of
Wales. He congratulated us personally,
and gave us each purse of 500. N. P.
Willis was present, and wrote wonder
full sketch of the affair. Tom Hyer, the
prize fighter, was there also, and he
grabbed me up and shook me. and looked
at me through the tears that fell SO rap
idly as to almost blind him, and said,
%, you -- little cussp 'Cuss' was
not the word to use, however"
"What was your weight then, Mr.. Col
cord?'
Gone hundred and thirty pounds"
"And Blondin's?''
Zone hundred and thirty-five."
"Would you do it again ?"
'Not for all the wealth in the world"
