THE ENORMOUS LOSSES
STRIKES.

Heretofore, thanks to the high pro-
tective tariff and Republican admins.
trations, wages we're high, employees
were we'll paid and contented, EN-.
ployers realized good profits on their
investments, and the conflicts between
capital and labor in the form OF
''strikes" were comparatively few and
involved relatively small numbers OF
people. Since the accession to pow
CT of the Cleveland administration,
however, and the consequent promi-
nence given to the free trade advo-
Gates and their doctrines, strikes and
lockouts have multiplied, until they
threaten to deprive the country of the
most of its labor and the benefits re.
sulting theretrom. The losses from
this cause, although not altogether
ascertainable, are sufficiently plain to
be stated in part.
In 1885, $4,000 strikers, being
about three fourths Of the number re-
ported, lost S,26O,0O0 IN wages while
OH strike. In 1887, $4,000 strikers
lost about s13,5OO,oOo in wages
while on strike. This, Bradstreet's
estimates, is probably one-.welfth OF
the total amount OF wages paid the
striking employees per annum. The
days labor sacrificed in 1887 amount
ed to total of 100000. In 1886
the total WAS correspondingly less.
The present year opened with a,
least 1G extensive strikes in progress
most of which remain unsettled. A.
in one Of these alone, to. wit: The
Reading strike. $4,000 coal miners
5000 railway and machine shop en-
ployes, dock hands aud coal handlers
$500 other employees at over 40 shops
and other manufacturing establish
"sents, exclusive OF 1000 furnace
men, are involved, and as they have
already been idle for over one month
it is very likely the losses from strike:
in 1888 will greatly exceed those from
tho same source in 1857, great as they
were.
The industrial outlook for 1888 i.
therefore anything but encouraging
And the worst feature of the situation
is that there can be no hope of al i'm
mediate improvement. as this Is 8
Presidential year, and the dominant
party. under the specious pretense o.
reducing the "war" tariff, is pursuing
policy whose sole object seems to be
to win the favor of foreign manu-
facturers.

General MeClernand seems to be
losing his senses. The other day he
threw himself, or brushed against, the
business manager of the Salt Lake
Tribune, as any vulgar bruiser might
have done, and, his hand in his right
coat pocket as if clutching a revolver,
demanded to be informed If "he Mr..
Lannsn, the business manager afore-
said wanted anything out of him?"

Fatal Shooting at Buffalo Gap.

The news Of the killing Of Frank
Potts and Stansbury Arthur at Buffalo
Gap on Monday evening WAS received
here by telephone shortly after its occur
ence. Reports by telephone, and eye
witnesses, are, as usual, somewhat con
ficting, but as near as can be determin-
ed at this writing, the circumstances
connected with the killing are briefly as
follows.
On Monday Potts and Arthur, well
known cowboys, who have the reputa-
ton of being quiet and orderly when
sober, came into the Gap, and after i'm
moderate indulgence In low grade
whiskey, commenced firing their re-
volvers indiscriminately in the streets,
which was continued for some time,
| when A. Lovett, the town marshal, at.
tempted their arrest, which resulted in
his being disarmed, and badly beaten
about the head by the now Infatuated
pair, who used their revolvers for this
purpose. The marshal finally escaping
and seeking safety in a saloon near by
was said to have been followed by them
and it is said that a number of shots
were fired at him while he was trying
to effect his escape. The outlaws theI
re-mounted their horses and agar
resumed their random, shooting up an
down the streets without regard for tn
safety of the citizens who were at tina
time collected in crowds, many of whom
narrowly escaped a fatal bullet. Thu
citizens realizing the danger Of furthe.
forbearance, armed themselves in de
Tense of the place, and returned their
fire which resulted in MORALLY wound
ing both Of them. Potts lived only
half hour after being shot through thu
bowels; Arthur, who was also shot in
the bowels, fingered until the next day
dying at l0:45 in the forenoon.
The victims were both young men
Potts being about twenty-five, and
Arthur twenty-five years Of age. Public
sentiment is said to be strong in support
of the action taken to restore order
which it is conceded could not have
been accomplished by any other means

The Survey.

Custer, which has for the past three
months been headquarters for the B. &
NJ. surveying party, still continues to be
their base Of supplies. Their camp re-
mains at or near the McMaken mica
mine, about three miles northwest Of
this place. as reported in our last weeks
issue. While the party have been busy
every day in making surveys, it is a
fact that the northern limit Of the line
has not been materially extended be-
yond the point reached a week ago.
While it is difficult to determine the
future intentions Of the chief in charge,
it is believed by many that there will
be further surveys made in this vicinity
before the route has been determined
to Hill City. The feeling in this place
| with reference to the final location Of
the route, Notwithstanding the baseless
reports to the contrary, is of that happy
character that always accompanies un-
wavering confidence in the final attain
ment of a much desired object. Custer
is confident in the matter Of getting the
road, and Custer, it is reasonable to
suppose, is as we'll informed in this
direction as the outlying towns, not in
interest, who are trying to create the
impression that the tin city is going tc
get left. Our advice would be to these
perverters Of the news, to take not the
soothing JUNCTION to their souls, lest il
the final turn of future events they may
get badly and sadly left.

Rumors of a Scotch syndicate en- route
from over the water to the Black Hills
with a view to buying up all the tin
locations remaining in first hands, for a
time created considerable excitement in
this place on Tuesday, but a failure to
trace the rumor to any reliable
source, had the effect Of restoring the
public mind to its normal condition.

For Effect.


For Effect.
The Rapid Journal, in connection
with other random statements relative
to the movements and designs of the
B. & M. Railroad company, now making
a survey into the Black Hills from the
south, says: "a townsite has been bar
gained for about four miles west of
Custer"
That any such bargain has been made,
or contemplated by the company, is
simply preposterous. and that such a
belief is entertained by any II in this
place, or elsewhere is extremely doubt
full, and that the Journal simply made
the unwarranted statement for effect,
we'll knowing that there was not a
scintilla of truth in it, we unhesitatingly
declare to be II earnest and well
settled belief. The Journal is ever
ready to note an item Of news, unfavor-
able to this place, even though it is
based upon the gauziest while
it persistently ignores the mention OF
important news items Transporting in
this locality which have n tendency to
establish the fact Of Clusters advancing
prosperity.
That Custer will get the B. & NJ, and
Elkhorn as we'll, before the close of the
year, and several other roads in due
time, the Journal to the contrary not
withstanding. no n who is at all posted
upon the situation can for a moment
doubt. Custer, like Banquo's ghost, will
not down at your bidding.

If this place had this winter been
visited by storms, such as have been
reported in other localities in almost
every part of the Union, which it has
not, it could o be reasonably claimed
that it had fully redeemed itself in the
past two weeks, during which time the
weather has been Of the most delightful
character ever experienced in any part
of the world. 1t would seem impossible
to fittingly describe the tranquil sunny
days, or the vivid splendor of the radi-
ant moonlight nights experienced in this
locality. Equally difficult would it be
to depict the change wrought in the
people by the sudden change from the
dark shadow Of winters gloom to the
balmy and invigorating sunny zephyrs
which in their soothing tendencies are
not surpassed in May or June. The Soul
and morose disposition is changed to
cheerfulness, and murmuring complaint
to expressions Of JOY and satisfaction.
~Contentment rules the hour; everybody
rejoices; cattle enjoy it; and hens lay,
and flop their wings in token of their
high appreciation ofthe glorious weather
vouchsafed. May it be ever thus,

Bishop Taylor Expresses His Views of
StanIey's Absence.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Oct. g. Bishop
William Taylor, the distinguished African
bishop of the Methodist church, before
leaving Springfield a few days ago ex-
pressed his views on the disappearance
of Henry N. Stanley, the African ex-
plorer. He said that, from his knowl-
edge of the condition of things in Africa,
it was highly probable that Stanley had
gone into the interior OF the country
where he could not be heard from for a
year or two, and that interested persons
were taking advantage of his absence to
create friendship for individual schemes
to organize searching parties, whose real
object was something else than the re-
covery or assistance Of Stanley. A de-
sire for public sensations perhaps
prompted many of the publications re-
speeding the explorer. For his own part
the bishop did not believe there would
be any special cause for alarm if he was
not heard from for a year ortwo yet.

Fatal Family Row.

MARION, Ind, Oct, 3.-Benjamin Ice,
a wealthy resident of Paramount town
ship, died from the effects of injuries re-
ceived in a family broil. A disagreement
arose a few days ago over the measure
ment of some land, and in an appeal to
clubs the deceased severely pommeled
his daughter-in-law, Lavina G. Ice, who
STRUCK him on the back of the hand, lac
Grating it severely. The daughter in"
law had Benjamin arrested for assault
with intent to murder, and also insti-
tuted suit for $1,000 damages. A few
days ago erysipelas attacked the wound
inflicted On the old mans hand and death
was the result. The probability of the
arrest Of Lavlna Ice for manslaughter
lends a further sensational interest to
the case.
