THE telegraph declares that the New
York and Brooklyn strikes have about
fizzled out. And yet the demands Of the
strikers were eminently just. What is
the lessonP 1t means that workingmen
must resort to other measures than
strikes and violence. It means that they
must 90 to the ballot box. Laws are no
longer made for the people; they are for
the few. Strikes only prolong the
struggle. Workingmen must unite as
politicians. They have for years been
kept in bondage, in all their organiza-
lions, by the deceitful advice to keep
out Of politics" Demagogues and artful
political tricksters are constantly ad.
vising the Knights Of Labor, Federation
OF Labor, trades unions, and all similar
associations, that the organizations are
all right IL they only keep politics out Of
their meetings. And this humbug ad-
vice has been drilled into their ears so
long and so persistently that four-ffths
of the workingmen believe it to be
founded on wisdom and good intentions.
And 50 they talk strikes and ignore poll
tics. One Of these days they will learn
that the organization which assumes to
be for the advancement OF the cause Of
labor, but refuses to allow politics to be
fully and freely discussed and acted
upon, is simply q device Of the enemy
for perpetuating ignorance and bondage.

According to Mr.. Dewitt. the Montana

Alleged Monster in a California Lake.

The Homer "Index" says it has univer-
sally been believed that no creature OF any
kind can exist in the waters of Mono Lake;
hut Judge Mattly explodes this notion.
Last Sunday he saw a strange creature
Topping about in the shallow water near
the shore. The thing seemed to open and
shut like a ~spy-glass; at it's longest it a
about six feet in length and two feet in
diameter. 1t resembled an enormous leech
more than anything else, and apparently
propelled itself by drawing 10 air and
forcing it out behind. When inflated it
was egg shaped and sat upon the water like
a bell-buoy. No fippers or fins of any de-
scription were visible. nor anything that
resembled a mouth. The oriices through
which it evidently inhaled air could not be
seen. The Judge described il as a disgust
ing mass of green pulp.

A Mon.trous and Powerful Gun.

An enormous gun has just been com
pleted for Russia, which will throw q ball
the distance OF thirteen miles. II q vessel
with such q gun were to anchor six miles
outside OF San Francisco, and use this gun
for bombarling that city, the balls would
land in any Of the richest portions Of its
center. No definite aim could be secured
for the ball OF such weapon, but when fir
ing at o large city it would need but little
calculation to hit something tangible.
