The strikes i'll the East still con-
tinue and the whole country is in q
ferment on the disturbed relations
of capital and labor and the vexed
question OF demand and supply.
The strength of the labor organiza.

dom SO far displayed by its leaders,
give promise of an equitable and fair
adjustment, ultimately leading to a
permanent peace and the thrift
which harmony will bring.

A SEATTLE paper af1irms that, a

shower, portion of Yesler's wharf
was covered with angle-worms, and
asks for an explanation of tue phsn-

who are reasonably familiar with the
ancient method of reading "sisns

The Walla Walla papers seem to
think that the movement for annull-
ing TIE Penitentiary act is prompted
by sectional feeling. A demurrer is
entered, so far as the STANDARD is
concerned. It holds that all the
prefigate appropriation bills of the
late Assembly should be disapproved
by Congress. 1t expressed this
opinion, by implication at least. be-
fore any movement was inaugrated
to bring the reprehensible methods
of the last Legislature to the atten-
ton of Congress. If the Peniten-
tiary act stands first on the list for
action, it does moi follow that it is
because the assumed benefit to be
devided from it will inure to dis
tant part of the Territory. The
same objections apply to the other
large appropriations, and petitions
for their disapproval would meet
with quite as ready assent.

A QUEER Form OF LUNACY. Geo.
Johnson, a Greek, was tried before
the Probate Judge, at Seattle, last
Tuesday, on charge of peculiar
form Of lunacy. He persists in CIV
ing his money away. aud the people
of our sister town evidently regard
this as an aggravated form of insanity,
for they have taken his money from
him and placed it in the hands of
Sheriff McGraw for safe-keepins.
He had already distributed s24O,
and had but $40 left, when his pull
anthropic designs were frustrated by
the firm hand of the law. 1t ap-
pears, in evidence, that George was
intensely religious, belonging to the
Greek church; that be would not
swear for q thousand dollars and
when b. heard any profanity, mani
tested the utmost detestation of the
utterance, and that much of his
money was freely bestowed for the
relief of destitute families. 1t seems
a pity that little more OF such lun-
acy should not prevail.

LoGGrRs' WAGEs.-Mr. VIM. Coch-

LoGGrRs' WAGEs.-Mr. VIM. Coch-
rane, the manager Of a logging camp
on the Sound, in letter to the Ia
coma Ners, thus comments on pro-
position OF some of the boss log
gers to reduce the wages of this
class of arduous workers: "The
present rate of wages paid by most
of the logsers is from S35 to SIS per
moneh. Now | claim that man CAN
not work for less, and at the present
prices OF logs and supplies boss log
gers can make fair margin for what
money is invested in the business.
Men who work in the woods should
receive good wages as the hours are
from palf-past five in the morning
until six at night and the work is
very hard and slavish. After and
before working hours it is usual for
men in camps to grind axes and file
saws ready for next days work SO as
not to take up the time of the reg
lar working hours. The transfers
have to get up in the morning at 4
o'clock and their days work is not
performed until eight at night, hav-
ing to take care of their team before
aud after the regular working hours.
These men are most generally con-
fined in the woods away from all en-
joyment, when most of their bosses
are enjoying all the comforts of life
some in the saloon over the poker
game; Others squandering their
money on fast women and fast
horses. Yet they are not satisfied,
but they must suck the blood of these
poor hard working men. l have
been asked by some of these Shy.
locks (the principal movers) to join
in the combination, but l have pos
itively refused to do SO.
