Bradstreet gives an exhaustive re.
view of the strikes Of last year that
presents some rather startling sta
tistics. 1t estimates the number of
strikes in 1886 at $50, in which 448,000
men were engaged. Last year the mum.
ber of strikes is given at 8S4, in which
S40,854 men were engaged. While the
number of strikes has increased very con.
siderably the total number of persons
involved has fallen off considerably. The
cause of this is found in the fact that the
May strikes in 1886 for shorter hours Of
labor involved very large number of
persons, far above the average engaged
in strikes generally. Ofthe 1887 strikes,
542 we're for fewer hours or higher
wages, 225 were from disputes about
"union" demands, while 81 we're from
sympathetic or other causes. In these
strikes, 1862, involving 12S,234 men, we're
successful, and 4s5, involving 1878
employees, were unsuccessful, the
remainder being either undetermined or
unreported. The time lost in these
strikes was lO,sO6 days. 1t does not
require much figuring to show that the
strike, as medium for the enforcing of
demands, is not a success, for nearly all
the losses are entailed upon the work.

The Association will meet next October
in Augusta.
On Thursday evening grand banquet
was provided at the Arlington Hotel for
the delegates, which was most pleasant
occasion.
This Convention was composed of
representative men, and its proceedings
is bound to attract the attention of Con-
gress. The Savannah River is great
waterway, but at present it is not navi'
gable except for small vessels, and not
even for them at certain seasons of the
year. Congress should appropriate
sufficient money to open the river to
Augusta, so that large vessels could reach
that city at any time. Augusta has fine
railroad facilities, and with the river
open to that point, the country tributary
to it would be greatly benefited.

CONSUMPTION, Wasting Diseases,

And General Debility. Doctors disagree
as to the relative value of Cod Liver Oil
and Hypophosphites-the one supplying
strength and flesh the other giving nerve
power, and acting as tonic to the diges-
tive and entire system. But in Scott's
Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil with Hypo-
phosphites, the two are combined, and the
effect is wonderful. Thousands who have
derived no permanent benefit from other
preparations have been cured by its use.
This is not an assumption, but facts that
are substantiated by the experience of the
past 10 years, and the endorsements of
thousands of the best Physicians through
out the country.

self. The boy says his father kept call
ing for help all night, and only died one
hour before a rescuing party reached
them. The boy was not badly frozen.
A farmer started to water his stock
only few rods from the house-became
blinded by the fine frozen particles that
filled the air, lost his way, determined to
keep in motion, and walked upon the
open rrairie all the next night and the
following day, to find his house, and was
rescued twenty miles from his home.
Others, under similar circumstances,
walked in circle all night and saved
their lives by violent exercise, knowing
that it was death to stop. The Indians
in that region seem to understand this
better than the whites, for of all caught
in the late blizzard while out hunting,
not one was known to be lost.
One man started on horseback to ride
home against the blizzard. 1t was only
mile away, but when the horse came
up to the front door the wife opened it
only to find her husband sitting upright
in the saddle frozen stiff. An equestrian
statue more ghastly than the one that
frigbtens the Leporello in Don Juan.
In new hamlet upon the open prairie
school mistress about noon saw signs
of the coming blizzard and dismissed her
flock and warned them to hurry home.
The Implying blizzard met them at the
door as they started home in different
directions. Some reached home in
safety, but at three o'clock, when they
should have reached the loving arms of
their parents the majority came not.
Then began the agonizing search. Some
were found siugly, some in groups of two,
or three, others in larger groups and
with the largest group the teacher her
self-all dead. The cheeks 80 lately
rosy with health were now marble white,
upon some were frozen tear drops; the
lips of others were wreathed in smiles us
if the sleep of death was only blissful
dream. AT last accounts some were not
found at all, and the lives of adult viii
layers were sacrificed in the fruitless
search. I do not seek to bathe this
scene in pathos. / leave it with its bold
outline of facts.
But you ask: "How are such things

What Is Needed.

Numerous letters published by the
Chicago Times describe large numbers
of girls working under stringent rules
and unhealthy conditions by the piece,
receiving from $3.50 to 81 per week for
ten hours daily work. These girls are
averse to homework, on the ground of
social inequality, loss of independence
and especially the want of any time
which they can call their own. One
writer describes a daughter who gets
for her work less than her mother pays
out for liquor. and assigns as the two
chief causes of the surplus of female
labor, the saloons and the thoughtless
cruelty of many housewives. Another
complains that the schools teach the
girls nothing for which the employers
are willing to pay. Cases are named
where girls engaged in housework in
farmers households have been over
worked and underfed until their health
has been utterly ruined. The conclu-
sion is. '.You will find the poor slave
ON the farm, in the kitchen, in the shop,
everywhere" The only remedy seems
to lie in free public industrial educa-
ton and the ballot. If girls were
taught sewing, cooking, housework,
mechanic arts and skilled industry, with
punctIality, cleanliness and fore
thought, they would be lifted into con-
di.ion of comparative Independence

of woman means the downfall Of oul
trade" When the bill by which the
women of Washington Territory had
the ballot and secured local option. was
declared unconstitutional by the SUI
preme Court of the Territory. there
were bonfires. bell-ringings and beer on
tap in the public square of many town
and village, where the saloon-keepers
celebrated their jubilee because the
women had lost their right to vote.
Happily this right has been restored by
an overwhelming majority at the hands
of the Legislature of 1888.

the ballot they have used it in the in
terest of home and against the saloons.
the gambling-houses, and the haunts OF
infamy. In Kansas, $4,000 women
voted in the spring of 1887. The
State librarian at Topeka carefully ex-
amined the files of the eight hundred
newspapers of Kansas, and reports that
practically without exception they bear
testimony, direct and indirect, to the
good behavior of the women at the
polls, the courteous manner in which
they were treated, and the over
whelming influence they exerted in
favor OF morality. The law in Kansas
prohibits crowd at the ballot-boX. and
requires that around it fifty feet OF
space shall be kept clear, persons going
one by one to drop their ballots in the
box. In Arkansas, woman's ''ballOt by
signature has cleared the saloons out
of three-fourths of the counties. In
Canada, five provinces give restricted
suffrage to women, and the
concurrent testimony of all parties and
of the Minister of Finance, Hon. George
Foster, is that the result is altogether
in the interest Of temperance and
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, while fully convinced that the
ballot is the right of every woman in
the nation, just as much as it is the
right of every man, does not base its
line OF argument upon this fact, but
upon the practical value that woman's
vote will have in helping the nation to
put away the liquor traffic and its ac-
denominations. We do not
ask it for ourselves alone; we are i'm
partial friends of the whole human
race in both its fractions, man and wo-
man, and hence we are not more in
earnest for this great advance because
Of the good it brings to the gentler,
than because of the blessing that it
promises to those of the stronger sex.
