A SUCCESSFUL STRIKE.

Some weeks ago the telephone sub
scribers of Rochester, New York, to the
number of several hundred, struck
against a new tariff which would in
crease the rental OF instruments about
thirty per cent. They were already
having four or five times what should
have been asked, and didn't propose 10
submit 20 a further robbery, hence
they ordered the instruments removed
and the service discontinued. The
company said the strikers" could not
hold out; that nobody could carry on
business IN city without the telephone,
and that in few days there would be
general acceptance Of the new terms.
Day after day and week after week have
gone. but not one Of the strikers has
surrendered, and there Is no
sign OF weakening on. the part
of any OF them. They say that
the discontinuance has been so
general that no one gets the advantage
of his fellows, and the Inconvenience is
not at all great. They are surprised (
the readiness with which the commun-
ity has adapted itself to the new con
ditiohs after leng use Of the telephone
Meantime the company Is waiting anc
hoping. It has already lost mor'
money through the strike than woulC
have been collected through the in
creased tariff for q year.
Any city in the Union can put stol
TO the extortion and bring the robbie
company TO terms; but this can only b
done BY united action on the part o
the business men of the community
In Rochester the fight is being success
fully made because the people stand to
gether in their fight against the mon
opoly, and the same thing can be don
in any other city.

his associate deputies will have any

be drawn from the 200 citizens whose
names will be chosen by the Probate
Judge and District Court Clerk, and
they will be more apt to be fair-minded
representative citizens than the men
selected because Of their partisanship,
and their sympathy with just such
crimes as that committed by Thomp'
son. The Importance attached TO the
deputy's offense by the friends com
posing his grand jury is shown
ID the finding Of an indict-
nent for manslaughter, a crime
involving imprisonment not 10 e1

a TEMPORARY CRAZE.

The heavy vote poIled for Henry
George in the New York election Is
turning the heads of the working men
aH over the country. Because George
drew 10 him so many votes of alleged
workingmen the laborers in other cities
think they can elect municipal officers.
They are organizing themselves into
political parties and putting tickets in
the field everywhere Just as If they eI-
uected to succeed, and as If success
would improve matters for them. They
dou't seem TO realize the fact that the
George movement indicated absolutely
nothing as to the political strength
of the labor element, bat merely
told OF widespread discomfort
among the people, which expressed
itself unwisely and desperately.
II the election were to take place to-
day i. Is doubtful if Mr.. George would
Get half the votes that were cast for
him less than two months ago, so
