MILLER STREET.

Miller street is little street lead
ing from Beretania street to Punch
bowl street. 1t is thoroughfare
which has considerable traffic, owing
to its being the shortest route from
the principal part of the town to
the Queens Hospital and to the
most populous part of the Portu-
guese settlement on the slopes of
Punchbowl. Notwithstanding this
fact, Miller street has never had
much attention from the Govern
ment-not because it is not in need
thereof, but from some cause un-
known to us. Portions of it are al
ways in frightful condition after
rain. At the present time its upper
end, near Punchbowl street, is a
perfect quagmire, almost absolutely
lmpassable. 1t will be in that con-
dition all winter unless the Road
Department bestows some practical
attention upon it. We hope, how
ever, that the needed attention will
not be withheld so long.

The MoTlyE FORCE OF THE WORLD.

The Bureau of Statistics, Berlin,
presents some remarkable facts, to-
gether with the interesting general
statement that four-fifths of the en-
gines now working in the world have
been constructed during the last
twenty-five years. In round num-
bers, France has $4,000 stationary
or portable boilers, 1000 locomo-
tives and 1900 boats boilers; Ger
many has $4,000 boilers, 10000
locomotives and / ZOO ships boilers;
Australia, $1,000 boilers and $500
locomotives. The force equivalent
to the working steam engine repre-
sents, in the United States, 7,500,-
000-horse-power, 100000 in Ger
many, 100000 in France, and
100000 in Austria. In these
enumerations the motive-power of
the locomotives is not included,
whose number in all the world
amounts to 105, 600, representing q
total of 3,O0O,0 ,000-horse-power,
which amount added to the other
powers, gives total of 10000, ,000-
horsepower. AS steam horse
power is equal to three actual horses
power, and living horse is equal to
seven men, the steam engines of the
world may be said to represent,
therefore, approximately the work
of 1000, ,000,0 900 men.-TS. f. Bull

will come with the excuse, that the
wives and children can earn little
by stripping cane. True, this is so.
But are we, as citizens of that free
country of our pride, the United
States of America, or all who believe
in liberty and justice, are we going
to uphold one of those barbarous
customs OF some of the old countries
where the husband is considered
only as the lord and master of his
wife? where the mother has to
drudge along with heavy loads, or
work like a horse in the fields?
Which is the mothers, the wife's
place, the kitchen and the house, or
the field and plow?
AS in one of my former articles,
treating on "Capital and Labor" /
again repeat here that the principles
of personal rights and liberty de-
mand that all parties shall have the
indisputable right to offer and ac-
cept such wages as can be agreed on.
We cannot blame very well those
who are on the constant hunt for
cheap labor. But this can be car
ried to excess, so as to become a
public evil and curse. There is
abundance of labor on these Isl
ands glad and willing to work, but
not on SIG per month, which they cam
not do. If employers wish TO obtain
help at that price, let them get it,
providing parties at this place can
be found to work for such wages.
If they are then willing to labor at
that rate, they enter bargain with
ears. and eyes open. Give the dup
ed ones living here the first chance
to make living, instead of import
ing foreign labor at wages on which
which person accustomed to free
country cannot live. For this rea-
son let us try to get the laws relat-
ing to the Contract Labor System
and Passports abolished. Let us
agitate this, so as to cause prosper
ity once more to return to these Isl
ands. BYEAND-BYE.
