Resignation of Secretary jerks.

Washington Special; Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Interior George A. jerks, has
rendered his resignation. He and his fans
iy will return to their home in Jefferson,
Pa. His resignation was due to circum-
stances entirely disconnected with his oil
fetal relations. For twenty years he has
been the attorney of John Dubois, the mill
~ionaire lumber kiag OF Western Pennsyl-
vania, who offered him Il retain
er OF 500 600 a year if he would not
accept the position OF assistant
secretary OF the interior when it was ten
dcred to him a year ago. Mr.. jerks de
clined this, but told Dubois that he would
be at his service any time he might need
him. The latterinsisted that jerks should
sign a contract thatilhe Dubois should die
or be disabled jerks should leave Washing
tom and givehis attention to the affairs of his
estate. A few weeks ago Dubois was take1li!,
and sent forJenks, giving him instructions
as to h Encouragement ofhis property. Eve
weeks ago Dubois died, leaving $4,000, DOC
TO his nephew and only heir, and it became
necessary for Mr.. jerks to resign at once
in order to take charge Of the property. 1t
will be a difficult thing for the president to
obtain a man for the position jerks has
occupied who will give as much satisfaction
rs he has done. Every one who has busl-
ness before the department speaks in the
highest terms of him, and his ability is I'M
questioned. 1t is a matter OF universal re
greet that he should leave the department.

The Trade of Last Week.

Bradstreet's Journal says: The indus
trial agitation in favor OF eve hours work
daily has largely disappeared elsewhere
than at Chicago. At New York it has been
a practical failure, while at Chicago the at
titude Of manufacturers in several leading
lines in locking out some A. 1000 employees
who demanded a shorter working day,
promises to arrest the progress OF
the movement. Within about two
weeks there have been strikes at
leading industrial centers to secure fewer
daily hours of labor asgregating 100000
employees; 100000 nave secured conces-
sions without striking, and not over A.
600 Of the 200, 900 strikers have secured
their ends. This indicates that over l90,-
600 employees are working fewer hours per
day than one month ago, a small proper
ton of the total number claiming to be in
terested. With the favorable change in
the industrial outlook, general business is
reported to have made some advances.

1t is surprising to find in many
papers, earnest advocacy Of a large
standing army and a stronger govern
ment, which means an unrepublican
government. The police authorities
ofChicago, New York, and some other
cities have shown that our local gov
ernments are STRONG enough, if in prop
or bands, to prevent anything like an
overthrow Of the law by communistic
a~prisings. On the other hand it must
be remembered that in Germany,
France, Belgium, Russia and England,
all strong governments, sustained by
standing armies, communistic out.
breaks have frequently taken place
and they have not been put down any
easier than in this country. We are
about as well of in this respect, if not
better, than the so-called strong gov
ernments. The fact is that the pend.
ing troubles only call for q more
prompt enforcement Of the law.
