The labor troubles in the Pennsv

The labor troubles in the Pennsyl-
sanie coal region were chiefly due to
the ignorance and mulishness of the
droves ofcheap workmen the coal COM
panies imported from Hungary and
Poland several years ago, to crowd
out the American and the Irish labor.
ers They worked for almost nothing
at first, but now demand the biggest
wages going, and are riotous in their
clamors. 1t serves the short-sighted
and avaricious coal companies just
right.

The Most Northern Whites.

Among the most inaccessible parts
OF the world is the region in the north.
ern portion of this continent along the
lower course of the Mckenzie river.
For six months in the year, amid the
ice and snow of the long winter, it is
impossible to reach this region at all,
and at the most favorable periods it
takes three months hard travelling
from Winnipeg to gain the most north
ern white stations. In this bleak COR
ner OF the ea,th live about 20 white
men. A few of them are married, and
their wives are with them. They live
further north than any other white
men on this continent. They are mis-
siona-ies of the English Episcopal and
Roman Catholic Churches, and some
of them, like Bishop Bombas, have
lived in this unattractive country for
over 20 years. Their field of labor is
q country OF magnificent distances,
and some OF their stations are over
100 miles apart. Birch canoes and
dog sledges have until recently been
the only means Of communication.
There these white men live entirely
cut of from the rest of the world dur
ing the greater part OF the year. Their
rough, wooden houses were built of
timber that in many cases was float
ed in RATS down the big river. Recent
ly a little steamer has been placed ON
the McKinzie, connecting a few of the
stations. The isolation in which thev
have lived is thus partially relieved.
for the steamer makes it easier for the
most OF them to visit each other now
and then.
Though the region where they have
exiled themselves is not at all invit ing,
the efforts OF these men are amongthe
most successful in the whole field of
missions. They are labo1ine among
the Tukudh Indians and the E~kimos.
The Indians, who number 5000. are
all protesting Christians, and good
work is carried on among the Eskimos
vho ,nhabit the shores of the Arctic
lea at the mouth OF the river.

The following comparison of business
transacted by the railroads in Minnesota
Tor the years ended June 30, 1886, and
June 80. 1887, is interesting:
The gross earning from all sources OF the
railroads from Minnesota business for the
year ending June 80, 1857. were $26. 162..
OS6.66; FOR the same period OF 1886 they
we're $25, 1O2, ,319.34, an increase 81, O59. !.

same period in 1887 were $13.448, 918..

Of 81 4OS, 651 go. The net income in 1887
was $12.7l3.16S.23; in 1886. $l3,o63..
revenues received from freight traffic in the

the receipts in 1886 were $lS.517. 1858,
an increase OF 1853. .436.48; but this in.
creaae in freight receipts vas not in pro.
portion to the increase in tonnage the in.
crease in tonnage having been about 81
per cent?. while the increase in freight earn.
ings was only about 46 per cent. The
average earnings on each tor OF freight in
1 ~ were $l:6 :64 and in 1886 $2.O1, or 81
cents per ton more in 1873 If the com.
as they did in 1886 they would have made
81. 125. G4l IA more.
The total humber OF passengers carried
by the railroads in the state in 1887 was
S.141. 1G3; in 1886, g. 1928. 1888. The aver
age distance ira, eled by each passenger in
1887 was 26 miles; in 1886 the distance
80 Travelled was 81 miles. The total mum
Der of passengers carried one mile in 1897
was 2l1.5O9. 9.3O1; in 1886, 1876. 499, 7S9.
Tho gross earnings on passenger busi-
ness in 1887 were $5.372. 1872. So;
senger per mile in 1887 was 2.4S cents; in
1885 it was 2.;o cents. or 20 hundredths
