ing to Go Out.-The Strike.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 14.-[Specal Tele-
gram to the BEE. 1.-The Stone Masons'
Union has determined to demand from con-
tractors the fulfilment of the notices given
them last December that this season they
shall work but eight hours and receive 50. so
per day. No reply was made at that time as
work was slack. This union has raised funds
to insert advertisements in other cities to an
nounce these facts and all unions have been
notified Of their declaration, endeavoring to
keep similar labor from coming here. This
is equal to declaring that a strike is impend-
sng. Some workmen 20 so far as to state
that it is on.
The bricklayers have demanded nine hours.
Overtures are being made to have them unite
with the masons. The hod carriers have de-
manded 25 cents per hour At a
meeting last night they prepared memorial
which has been handed to the master brick
layers.
The strike on the Kansas City, Indepen-
dence & Park dummy line still continues.
All trains are laid up and engines killed.
The employees are determined that not
wheel shall move until they are paid in full,
including wages from last October. w. E.

THE returns of the saving banks fur

THE returns of the saving banks fur
nish very good indication of the con-
dition OF prosperity in the channels of
labor. Twenty-Five of these banks in
New York, whose reports for last year
have just been made to the superinten-
dent of banking, show net increase in
savings of nearly three and one-half
million dollars. This is not an excep-
tional increase, but it shows that not
withstanding all the disturbances and
the consequent losses therefrom to labor,
the working classes did fairly we'll. The
total deposits of the year in these banks
amounted to over eighty-four million
dollars.

THE sugar trust does not seem to be
getting on smoothly. There appear to
be combinations continually developing g
within the great combinations,
while there is SO much Opposi-
tion still remaining on the out
side that the trust does not find
it quite practicable to carry INTO effect
all its plans of conquest and reprisal.
True, it has been able to make the con-
sumer pay more money for his sugar,
nut there is promise that it may not
long be permitted TO maintain this pol
icy. Meantime the future OF the
scheme is SO clouded that the trust cer-
tilicates are unsuitable, though offered at
q considerable discount.

SENATOR HoAR's proposition to
amend the constitution so that congress
shall meet on the 18th of October in
stead of the lst of December has much
in its favor. But even with such
amendment congress would be elected
almost a year before beginning work
time enough to belate the issue upon
which it was chosen. For instance
the congress elected in 1886 has only
just begun its labors, and who will deny
that there has been large increase OF
sentiment favoring tariff reduction
since 1885?

THE spirit of speculation has not for
years been so languid in this country as
it is at present. The New York stock
market is almost lifelcss and the brok-
Crs are having good deal more leisure
on their hands than they know what to
proftably do with. II this state of affairs
were due to IA healthy reaction and de-
noted n change likely to be permanent
it could be welcomed rs good thing,
but it is to be apprehended that it is
largely due to conditions that are de-
pressing business in all departments,
and which will not disappear until the
country is permitted to know something
definite regarding what congress will
do with the revenues and the surplus.
