Ii is doubtful if one in one hundred of
the men who participate in strike ever
stop to compute the cost in dollars and
cents to the men who engage in them. The
recent packers strike in Chicago furnishes
abundant food for reflection, and when the
figures are contemplated they roll up in
good round numbers. An exchange, in
summing up the situation. says:
The loss in wages by the men who were
ont little less than two weeks is stated at
$500, 600, which as the Chicago Inter Ocean
pertinently says would have started a
couple of national banks, OF built 500 cot
tages or established cooperative packing
house" This is pertinent point. In any
of those forms the capital would always
have been a direct and permanent advan-
tage to the wOrkingmen. while the manner
in which the money has been spent is a di-
rect loss. Ii all the money wasted IN
strikes for twenty years, had been saved
and invested for the benefit of organized
labor, that interest would today be one of
the powers of capital.
The same paper attempts to draw anoth-
er deduction from these figures which is not
quite so admissible. 1t attempts to show

The official press organ of Senor Ruiz
Gorilla is practically the only newspaper
which does not express satisfaction and graft
tude at the announcement that the queen, on
the Recommendation OF the government, has
resolved TO temper justice with mercy. 1t is
an undoubted fact that the most extreme and
utterly INSCRIPTIONS republican conspirators
desired that their dupes might be shot, in or
der that the reign of the young king might

only blood shed has been spilled by those en-
gagged in one of the vilest and most criminal
coRspiracies in modern history. When the
details of the plot are published this language

fact proves this. Bands of assassins were

GOOD AND BAD LUCK.
Some Of the SuperStitiOns of Gamblers

Some OF the SuperStitiOns of Gamblers
and sporting Men-The Black Cat.
Gamblers and sporting men are, without
an exception, suPerstiti 'us, and almost every
one has IA sign or omen which betokens either
good or bad luck This Is particularly notice
able in JeiferSonvile at present. There are
a large number Of gamblers who are regular
PLAYERS and manage to obtain a livelihood in
this way They play carefully, and never
venture their cash without having first felt
the lucky inspiration. When all of the signs
indicate that the tickle goddess will smile
upon them they play heavily, but when the
omen of had or Indifferent luck is noticed
nothing will induce them To gamble.
Several months ago n wealthy dealer IN
mining stocks came down to Louisville from
Cincinnati ON business, and during the course
of his stay here frequently visited the faro
games in Jeffersonville. He was known
among the fraternity in that city as the
High Roller" on account Of the large sums
he riSkcd and the desperate chances he took.
One evening he lost g., 900 at single sitting.
The next night he won back 5000. Before
playing each time he would go to a rear
room in the house and play three games Of
he had on the first turn of the cards. II,
however, he lost one out of the number he
yentured moderate sums, and if he lost al
three he positively refused 10 play.
Another PLAYER considers it an i'll omen il
he sees a black cat on the way To the bank
and invariably declines to play. a well
known gambler, who formerly operated q
bank in this city, but who has since located
in HoOSiprdOm has singular superstition
When he wakes in the morning he alway:
puts on his left boot first II by mistake ht
picks up the one for the right foot, nothing
under the sun can induce him to play. II
another man sees rusty nail on the pave
ment in front of him, and the point is towart
him. he picks it up and considers it a symbo
of good luck If the head is toward him h,
will step 10 one side, and under no circum
stances walk over it
All the signs" of good and bad luck ar
on this order, and some of them are exceed
ingly absurd and ridiculous. Every time I

organized in the sugar plantation districts

If the strikers are not brutally dealt with
and the Knights prosecuted TO a degree

be generally surprised. In the south the

Quite three-fourthS of the water consumed
in Springfield is impure. Its impurity has
been clearly demonstrated by chemical an
alysis. To this impure water may be traced
much of the diPhtheria which has been
raging in Springfield this fall. 1t has been
suggested that an immense filter be pro
vided for the water works. So that every
drop Of water might be purified before it is
sent through the mains. The better plan
would probably be 10 get water that does
not have to be filtered before it can safely
be used

PITTSBURGH. October 20.-The tariff
demonstration to-day in honor of James G..

ed, but the city was filled with strangers
who had been attracted by the announce
ment that both Blaine and Beaver would
speak. An open air meeting was held at
Exposition Park, Allegheny, this after
noon, and it is estimated that from five to
eight thousand persons were present. Up
wards of three thousands persons partici-
pated in the parade, and the column ac-
cupied about thirty-five minutes in pass
ing given point. The manufacturers
who usually make feature in such
demonstrations, say they did not have
time to prepare for it,

could make himself heard, For a few
moments he was regarded with curiosity
but as his voice strengthened and the
thread of his speech was taken up he was
listened TO with great attention
At the conclusion Of his address Mr.. Blaine
was driven to the Monongahels House,

ON THE TEN-HOUR BASIS.
Resuming Work at the Packing Houses
No Outbreak To-Day.

Resuming Work at the Packing Houses
No Outbreak To-Day.
CHICAGO, October 20.-Everything was
quiet at the stOckyards this morning. The
yards were filled with workmen, but there
was no recurrence of the disturbances of
yesterday. A few more men were taken
to work in the various packing houses,
and the rain kept wide the unemployed
crowds that all day yesterday hung around.
The beefbutchers will accept the inevita-
bic and will, it is thought, return to work
on the ten-hour basis. Hogs are
beginning to arrive and are
in active demand. Armour & Co. will
commence to kill right away, and by the
last of the week will need full force of
men. Fowler Bros. and the Anglo Ameri-
can Company's houses will day or two
later, but it is safe to say that by the first
of next week the great majority of men
will once more be at work.
The death of Terry Begley has itensified
the hatred existing against the Pinkerton
guards. Talk of raid on the barracks to
avenge his death was freely INDUCED in
last night when the news that the wound
had proved fatal had spread over the town.
Wiser counsels prevailed and no demon
stration was made. An inquest on Beg
ley's remains will be held tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.
This morning VIM. A. Pinkerton called
on the Coroner to consult with him rs to
the best place to make the inquiry into
the causes of Begley's death, who was shot
by deputy yesterday. Pinkerton said he
did not think it would be advisable to hold
the inquest in the town of Lake as the
feeling there was so fierce against his men
that it might result in inury to them from
friends of the deceased. 1t is the opinion
of the officers in charge Of the PinkertOn
Agency that the men arrested for the
shooting of Bagley will undoubtedly be
held to the grand jury by the Coroner's
Jury, and that then the matter will come
up where all the real facts can be shown.
The original reports given to the news
papers appear to have been rather one
sided. The cars on which the Pinkerton
men were being brought to the city are all
battered up and many windows broken,
showing evidences of an assault made by a
large body of men. The PinkertOn men
all assert that this assault was made be-
fore a shot was fired and that they thought
their lives were in danger.
