TOO MUCH IDLE CAPITAL.

There are in the City of New
York forty-fve national banks with
a capital aggregating forty-fve
million four hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. The statement
made by these institutions on the
first OF March showed that there
was due to their depositors two
hundred and nine miil,on aud sew
enty-one dollars. Add to this enor-
nous sum the millions In the vaults
of the banks organized under State
laws, and with private bankers, as
we'll as the great sums held by
Trust and Insurance companies
and it is evident that there is
great deal too much unemployed
capital lying idle in New York
City.
If this large sum and the surplus
funds In other monetary lnstltu-
tons throughout the country could
be put into circulation, it would
give an impetus to all kinds of bus
mess, and bring about that condi-
ton of prosperity for which the
public have been looking for the
past few years, and BOW realize
only in part.

KANSAS CITY, March 24-At 8
O'Clock this morning general
sounding of whistles SionaIled the
Inauguration Of another strike. At
that hour the union switchmen in
every railroad yard in the city quit
work and freight business generally
was stopped. The Chicago and
Alton officials made up train with
the help of a nen-union man and
sent it out, but the strikers are said
to have boarded and stopped it at
the eastern city limits. The Wa
bash is working a small force, suffi-
cient. the officials say, to handle
the city freight, and being under
the protection of the Federal Court
have invoked the protection of the
United States Marshal. A mass
meeting of strikers will be held at
noon. At pres ent the cause of the
strike cannot be learned. Some of
the men say, 1--WE had orders from
the Knights of Labor" The switch
men made a general demand for an
advance in wages one week ago on

granted. There are flying rumors

Determined knights of Labor.
ST. LOUIS, March 24.-The
Knights Of Labor say they will ac'
cept 10 terms from the railroad
company unless offered to them as
knights Of Labor. A member Of
the Executive Committee said:
THE worst is yet to come, and [
dread it, but there is no help for it,
If we were to submit now and re-
turn to work without being recog-
nized as knights, it would be a de-
feat not only for us, but also for
labor unions, trades assemblies, and
for every labor organization in the
country, We will wait three Or
four days, in hope that someway to-
ward settlement may be opened,
and then if the situation remains
unchanged, every freight train on
every road running out of St. Louis
and Chicago will be stopped

ssThe Little Tycoon.o

The new opera by Willard Spencer that is now being played to crowded houses at the Fifth Avenue theater in New York city is evidently destined to enjoy popularity. The work is entitled ssThe Little Tycoon" and may be characterized as an American-Japan- ese opera inasmuch as the leading characters are American in the first act and Japanese in the second. This is brought about by the plot, which is satire the tendency of American girls to marry titled foreigners. General Knickerbocker' is intent on having his daughter marry an English lord against her will the man of her choice personates 8 Jap of high rank, and her father is willing to substitute the latter and more important parsonage for the Englishman. The second act thus gives an opportunity for the entrance of the Japanese king with his court, and here is the resemblance to the Mikado. It is an interesting fact that this opera was first written five years ago, before the Mikado was produced, and that it was submitted to manager who has produced Gilbert & Sul- l1van's operas, and who was favorably i'm pressed with it. MT. Spencer wished it produced in America but the manager said that it must be English, you know" in order to score success, and should be brought out in England. There is resem- bfance in the words and music to the M kado in some parts, the expression ''Yum Yum'' and "here's pretty to do'' occurring in MT. Speneer's work, thus giving the impression that he was the originator of the idea of a Japanese opera. "The Little Tycoon has already been published in book form owing to the demand for it. The music is bright and catchy and the plot amusing.

THE LABOR MOVEMENT.

THE LABOR MOVEMENT.
 The new labor movement has now reached point where it can be understood and fairly considered. It has, indeed, reached crisis When it first became prominent it had to a great degree the sympathy and support of the public. The principles on which it was said to be based commended themselves to all interested in social problems. It became popular. Workers everywhere rushed to join it and share the benefits it promised. It grew more and more powerful and at the same time more and more ungovernable and unwieldy. Demand followed demand and strike followed strike. The people not di- rectly interested looked wonderingly on, but saw no reason to make any active protest. Then came abuse of the power which organ ized labor possesses. Unjust demands were supported by unjust means. The great strike in the Southwest, which MT. Powderly him. self declared to be wrong, led to violence and bloodshed. The plain people began to per ceive that liberty attacked. Business was injured by wanton and unnecessary as saults upon it. The pestiferous and tyran- nical boycott was freely and wiokedly used.
 All these things have brought about change in public sentiment. There has been and is no antagonism to organized labor. But there is a growing spirit of resistance to the tyranny and injustice that have recently been manifest. This feeling will increase as the causes of it increase or iU will decrease as the causes of it decrease. The leaders of the labor movement have need at this time of all the wisdom, prudence and patriotism they have. Their work and the work of their followers must commend itself to the good sense and good will of the liberty -lov- ing people of this country or it will be failure. What they have to fear is demorali zation and gradual disintegration, due in large measure to the action of great numbers of men who possess no clear idea of the pur- poses of the labor organization, but who are anxious to immediately right real or fancied wrongs. It would be a good thing for the future of the labor movement if all engaged iL it would stop agitation and action for awhile until they could see clearly what they want, and adopt wise means to obtain it. The condition of the laborers will not be permanently improved by ill-considsred strikes and the indiscriminate use of the boy ooE4

Army Pets.
From the Grand Army Review

From the GranQ Army heVleW.t
 A little dog was the chief pet of the Eigh- ty-eighth New York volunteers, which took it's share of picket duty or battles like lit tie man, was repeatedly wounded (for which she had silver collar by way of pension), but couldn't keep out of any muss the boys were in. She was cute, too, and fully under stood the advantages of breastworks. At Charlottesville, where we were hurried about good deal under heavy cross-fire of artillery, she greatly discomposed When we got in "the last ditch," which we had to get out of not long after, Fan leaped | in in a hurry and snuggled down close to the nearest man in a way that made us laugh. Then she remembered her master and left her shelter to look for him. The poor little thing was hit twice at Charlottesville. The British army enjoys some hereditary pets, the goal of the Twenty third royal Welsh Fusileers being an especially noticeable ani- mal It is pure white, with venerable beard, and has become perfect idol of ami mated fetich, and, like the Grand Llama of Thibet or the Sacred Bull of ancient Egypt, when one goat dies successor has to be i'm mediately provided by the Queen of Eng land herself. The regiment love their goat as they do their colors and take it every where. Their campaigns in Ashantee land | and Egypt were rough on the men, but must l have been very tough on the goat-unless 1 they shaved him.

Are Southern Women He1ples..

a.3
 There is an impression in the North that educated and cultivated southern women are less able to take care of themselves when overtaken by misfortune than northern wo- men of the class are. This impression is not we'll founded, and those who have it know nothing about southern women, and have not had access to correct sources of in formation. There is another incorrect im- pression entertained at the North with re- spect to southern women. It is that they do not hold labor in as much esteem as north ern women do and are not so ready, there fore, to undertake to support themselves when thrown upon their own resources. It is doubtful if there are in any section of the country, in proportion to the number of the class to which they belong, so many refined and cultivated women who are earn ing their own support or helping to earn it as there are in the South. It is true, proba- bly,, that when slavery was an institution, and there was little poverty among educated people, southern women of the better class were not often found engaged in work of any kind that was not purely matter of choice. There was no occasion for them to work. When misfortune came, however, they were not found wanting in any of the qualities which were necessary to meet the equire- ments of their changed condition. They faced the situation pluckily and hopefully, and did willingly whatever they could find to do. Everywhere in the South now, in town and country, there are young women, educated and cultivated, belonging to the best families and moving in the best cir cles, who are quietly earning their own support, and helping to support others de- pendent upon then. They make no parade of what they are doing, and those whose lot is exceptionally hard seldom complain
 The South has made great progress ill the last twenty years. She is richer now, doubtless, than ever before. Her wealth is perhaps not so apparent 1t was in sla- very times, because it is much more gene rally distributed. If the truth could be known it would appear, doubtless, that the women of the South, by their example, self reliance, readiness and willingness to do with their own hands whatever became necessary for them to do, and by the en- couragement they have given the men, have done their full share toward creating the wealth and making the comfortable homes that are now to be found in the South and they are still working, and have profound appreciation ot the dignity of labor as there is to be found anywhere in the world.
 They are not wasting any time in re- gretting the past or in envying their more prosperous sisters of the North. Their misfortunes and their struggles have not robbed them of their beauty, the sweet ness of their natures or made them less courteous or charitable.
 No, southern women are not helpless and dependent and they not wanting in es- teem for labor In all that is best and noblest in woman they have no superiors.

Both Were Henglish.

I | In a company which was doing Shakes English actor named Coleman He was an actor of the old school and quite as tragic | off the stage as on. His fellow players chafed him in the dressing rooms on ac- count of his being an Englishman, and par ticularly on the difficulty he experienced in the use of the aspirate. This had been done so much that the Englishman was | reused to furiousness if anyone dared to | initiate his cockney misuse of the eighth letter of our alphabet. One morning he l came down to breakfast at the Fremont mind He had been chaffed pretty hard the evening before and in addition had not l slept we'll. The waiter-a darky of the | darkest hue-laid the bill of fare before | him.
 s"Ave you hany fresh heggss" asked | Coleman.
 | .Yes, sah," answered the darky. s"Owll you lave 'em cooked, sah! Boiled, scram- bled, fried, homelet; hany way you like, sah.''
 | Coleman turned quickly, gave the waiter | a sharp look. frowned, and then, as though making up his mind that his ears had de- ceived him, indicated his preference in the | way of "heggs."
 'Hanything else, sahs" asked the waiter "Cawn beef lash is very nice, sah, dis mawnin'. Bit of fish, saha 'Alibut steak, sah, fnnan 'addie, fresh cod" Coleman s face had turned purple. He jumped to his feet, caught the waiter by the collar and | held him at arms length.
 "What do you mean, sirrah,' he roared,
 'by initiating a gentleman's speech. l lave mind to throttle you, you himperti- | nent seoundrell'
 'FHi begs yer pardon, sah, but Hi really can't 'elp hit, sah. Him an Englishman l myself, sah."
 t'You lie, you villaini" beloved Coleman. "You'ye been paid for this" By this time some of the other guests had intervcned, and the darky, pale with fear, was released from the actors clutches. The head waiter vouched for the fact that the darky was an Englshman, born at Putney, and Coleman, restored to his equilibrium, settled down to his breakfast again-but with change of walters.

MT. Joseph D. Weeks, of Pittsburg, in a paper on "Labor Differences and Arbitra- tion" recently read before the Massachusetts Society of Arts, said: The most effectual pledge of industrial peace, in view of the present constitution of industrial society and the conditions which obtain, is arbitration and conciliation, with strong unions to en force it's decisions. I speak of strong un- ions, for it is only streng union that dare be just. A weak union, which represents but part of section or trade, is timid and cowardiy, and yet tyrannical, and seeks to make up in buster and fragrant injustice what it lacks in power. But strong union can be just and generous without fear of be- ing charged with cowardice, and when there is beside it strong employers association, strikes and lockouts will be of rare occur renee, peace will be assured, and production go forward under the most promising condi- tions.

A gentleman who was engaged for years in searching Chinese steamers states that he often saw Chinaman land at the dock in San Francisco with nothing in the world in the shape of capital except a fishing net. In about month the same Chinaman would appear as shipper of from three to ten tons of fish. He had associated himself with four or five others; they had secured a sec ond-hand boat and gone to work In a few months he was not only shipper, but an importer, receiving large lots of rice, sugar, dried fowls, and other articles of Chinese food, as well as clothing.
