be progressing at a lively rate.
There are six surveying parties
along the line between Chicago
and Kansas City. The proposed
line between Chicago and Kansas
City will be AL miles in length
-49 miles shorter than that OF
any other line of road. The road
will certainly be built and the line
will undoubtedly pass through

A NEW TREAT FOR THE READING
PTTRLIC

CRAs. ScRIBNER's Sous announce that
their new Scribner's Magazine will be given
to the American reading public about
December IS. The magazine is to be IL
Illustrated according to the highest artistic
skill and will number among its contribu-
tors the best contemporary literary talent,
besides heretofore unpublished writings
from the pens of the iterati of former
wears. The unpublished letters Of the
great English:novelist, Thackeray, about
which so much curiosity has been aroused
of late, will be given to the public the
coming year. Ex-Minister WAsBBURN's
"reminiscences of the siege and Commune
of Paris, and glimpses from the diaries OF
Gouverneur MORRIS, former Minister
to France, will give new light on the reyo-
lutionary period of French history.
Among the other contributors will be such
writers as r. d. STEVENSON, HAROLD
FREDERIC, H. C. RUNNER, FRANCIS S.
WALKER, Rev. W. H. WARD, I. A.
JANvIER and H. H. B0YEsEN.
This magazine will at once become a
powerful rival of the Century and HGrper's
Magazine. In price it will have the advan-
tage, being only twenty-five cents. This
rivalry will make each Of the magazines
better. 1t will be literary war in which
the lovers of good current literature will
come in as gamers.

THE sUBsDENcE OF STRIKES.

THE sUBsDENCE OF STRIKES.
According to Commissioners PECK, ofthe
New York Bureau of Labor statistics there
have been during the present year 1850
strikes in New York City and State as
against one-fifth Of that number or 800
during 1886. One of these suspensions
involved Is, 900 men in six weeks enforced
idleness, at a cost of one million Of dollars
in wages. As an offset to this immense
loss on the part Of the workers he cites a
case in which a strike costs a manufactur-
er 81, 900, 900 through inability to fill his
contracts"
Commenting on these figures the Phila-
delphia Times says: ''The fye-fold in
crease in the number of strikes in New
York in asingle year would lead the ordl-
nary observer to the CONCLUSION that bad
as the striking policy is shown to be 1t
must be permanently on the increase. The
conclusion is disputed by Commissioner
PECK, however, who claims that the strik-
ing propensity reached high-water mark
during the present year and that its extra
ordinary manifestation was due to the I'M
mense increase in new labor organizations.
He indicates that the first thing new Ia
Dor organization does is to strike in order
to show its power and get used to hand
ling what labor agitators are fond OF term
ing labors most effective weapon. An ex-
pertinent or two in striking makes the
rank and file ofthe organization more con-
sentative about strikes and the real work
ers in the body begin to cast aboutfo some
other and better method of settling labor
disputes. The Commissioner thinks that
the phenomenal number of strikes for this
year is due entirely TO the number Of new
and that there will be
marked decline in their frequency from
this time forward"
Though these'strikes have resulted only
in loss, and though the labor organlza-
tions have been so ready to engage in them
Mr.. PECK thinks that organized labor is a
benefit to both employer and emplOye, for
the reason that grievances and contracts
can be better adjusted with men as mass
than as individuals. The mania for strikes
and some other follies at present, he thinks
is only for the moment and will soon pass
away forever, and better day will dawn
for the industrial system Ofthe land.

THE DEMOCRATS THANKSGIVING.

We thank Thee, Lord that Thou hast sent
Our party such President;
ThrO' heat and cold, oh Lord We stand
In every quarter of the land,
With mouths uplifted, if may hap.
Our lips ay touch official pap,
And thankful are we that we may
Stand waiting thus day after day.
We do our duty by the State,
We serve who only stand and wait.
Some Moody tyrant, wild and rude,
Might give 'innOcu0us desuetude"
To all our hopes and all our fears,
By cutting off our heads and ears:
Therefore we're thankful To be blest
With one who lets us wait at rest
wethank Thee for the MugwumpS, too.
These noble patriots real and true,
Who get the jobs we want TO fill
And dabble in the publictill.
We thank Thee for the great reform
Which, DER the country, like a storm,
Has swept with strong, resistlcss tide,
And left us Democrats outside
TOwage a ceaSeleSS, paylesS strife
With dull affairs of private life.
We thank Thee for all these, oh Lord,
Because il is our best reward;
It's noble, after all our tolls,
To Weld To Others all the spOilS
It's noble! ay, and that's enough!
It's noble, but it's p. d. rough,

for the local RAIDS at Charleston to engage
the Ohio Marplots to come over TO West
Virginia and under cover offs grand jubi-
lee in honor Of Boz CARR'S election to the
State Senateand plot the capture of the U.
S. Senator. We observe that Gov. FoRAKER
sent his regrets with thanks. No doubt
he saw in advance how supremacy ridicu-

looked to the outside world, and concluded
to save his reputation for astuteness by
staying away. How do West Virginia
