1886 the number Of employees involved in
strikes and lookouts was AS, 900, In 1881
about 345, ,0OO and in 1888 only 211, ,OOe.
AT the same time there was an increase
in the number OF successful strikes.
A factory recently burned at Danburv.
Conn, was well known as the "Twelve
Apostles" and was one of the oldest
factories in the city. 1t was started
shortly after tha strike among Danbury

from this that it derived its strange
name.

THE prohibitionist and the total
abstainer are by no means one and tine
same, that is are not synonymous in
terms. Very often they belong to
widely different families. The case of
Colonel d. r. Anthony is one in point.
A good deal of fun is being poked at the
colonel just now for being caught day
or two ago in company with few
boon companions in Leavenworth
drinking lot of beer that had been
confiscated by the police. OF course
the beer had to be destroyed, and what
better way to do 1t than by drinking it?
None, of course, as the colonel evident
ly thought. 1t will be remembered in
this connection that some thieves
broke into his cellar last fall and stole
therefrom lot of choice wine and
beer. OF course these little exposures
tarnish somewhat the brightness of the
colonel's reputation as a consistent
prohibitionist. But for them, his fame
in that particular would stand clear
and unimpeachable. 1t is his misfortune
to be caught now and then, and that
spoils very pretty kettle of fish of
course. The successful prohibitionist is
one who never gets caught. He acts
well his part, and therein, as the poet
hath said, all the honor lies. Would
TO heaven that was all the lying done
about it.

FOOLISH ADVICE.

Dana of the Sun says democrats
can never hope to regain office until
they espouse protection and declare for
the adjustment of the internal reve-
nue. system. Dana mnst be going
crazy. To do that would be simply to
join the republican party which is the
protection party of the country. In
other words it would be suicidal and
would bury the democratic party I'M
der mountain of obloquy and popu-
lar resentment. The party that would
go back on its record in that fashion
could not live an hour. The idea is
preposterous. Besides. as the Globe
Democrat suggests, commenting on
Dana's cratic idea, 8 a great change
in opinion is taking place throughout
the country on the tariff question.
Free trade sentiment is growing in
New England and some of the other
eastern states, while the protection
policy is increasing in favor through
out the west and SOUTH"
1t is matter of considerable interest
to know why the east is going back on
prOG0CGlOu, OE why Gll0 SpiIII VI LIEU
trade is growing there. 1t is largely a
question of wages. The fact cannot be
hidden, and the knowledge of it is be-
coming general, that wages are not
maintained in the east, where accord
ing to the protection theory they
should be highest. This fact was put
beyond question in the late presiden-
tial campaign.
The trend of popular sentiment
there indicates disposition to return
to the doctrines of the democratic
party. The Globe-Democrat sees,
and substantially admits the fact.
Why, therefore, SHOULD that party
adopt doctrine that is admittedly
losing ground i'll it's frmest stronghold?
\ very pertinent inquiry. If that
party wants to play political hari kari
with itself by attempting TO SO back on
its record and camp on republican
ground, let it take the advice of Dana.

IT is of course unfortunate that the

PRESIDENT HARRISON is developing
some of the qualities that invoked con-
siderable unfriendly comment on the
persistency with which President Grant
took pains to place his friends in good
fat places, regardless of the more mer-
itoIlous claims of others. The case of
Neal and Kimball in Missouri, both of
whom want to be district attorney,
illustrates this fact. Kimball, who
made the race for governor last fall,
and made it well, is backed by the re-
publican party of Missouri. Meals
hackers are very few, but he happens
to be an original Harrison man. who
stuck to that gentleman at Chicago.
This is his only recommendation, but
it seems to be enough, as the president
seems bent on ignoring everybody else,
no matter how powerful his backing,
in order to reward Mr.. Neal for. his
vote in the convention.

IT may be Interesting TO note why
Washington was inaugurated on April
SOth instead of the 4th of March, the
regular day fixed by the constitution
for the Inauguration of the president.
Washington was elected early In Janu-
airy, 1883, but according to the new
constitution the vote was not an
nounced until it was brought into the
seat of government, then at New York
by the state electors and counted by
the senate. AS that body met for the
first time on March 4th, 1879, there
was no senate in existence previous to
that date empowered to announce the
vote. When the senate had organized
and announced Washington's election,
the news had to be conveyed to him,
which, in that period of slow travel,
took some time, as it did also for
Washington's letter of acceptance to
be received in return. 1t likewise con-
sumed some time for the president to
journey from Virginia to New York,
where he arrived only on April 23rd.
1t was thus that the first president was
inaugurated on April Both 1889, which
was the only occasion when the regu-
lar legal date of March 4th was de
departed frOm.-Ex.

EVEN April showers have their dis
advantages. The full force and effect
of this brilliant remark comes home
with overpowering effect to the Okla
homa boomer, or colonizer, to be more
polite. The rivers and streams to be
crossed in reaching the coveted land
are becoming swollen and unfordable
from the continued rains of the past
few days. None but the man intensely
eager to make the most of every min
ute given him in which to reach Okla
homa, can appreciate the hindrances
of swollen and unbridged streams. In
numerous instances circuitous detOurs
will have to be made. and eXasperat-

WHY KICK4

The Nodaway county farmers in
Missouri like their Kansas breth-
rem say they will buck against
the twin trust, and will pay
not above 124 cents a pound. All
buster. These people will pay just
what the trust demands. A trust that
can be bull dozed and driven to cover
by a set of indignant resolutions is a
poor concern, in fact, is no trust at all.
Trusts are not built that way. The
farmers will have to come to Limerick
whether they like it or not. There is
no other remedy but to turn the pigs
into their wheat, barley and oats, and
that they wont no, matter how mad
hey get. The binder is in universal
use. The farmer could not return to
the sickle and cradle if he would, for
they are hardly to be had any more.
Thanks to the tariff for which the
farmer voted so cheerfully last
fall, and which forbids COMPETE
ton from abroad, he will
have to toe the mark. But
what of that? does he forget that he is
building up the home market by patron
izing home institutions? To forget
that is to be ungenerous, unpatriotic.
The patriotism of the humble granger
is gagged by the freedom with which
he shells out when exorbitant demands
are made by his countrymen. But as
the test was laid by the granger him
self, we see no good reason why he
should kick. If you give man club
with which to hammer you over the
sconce, what right have you to com
plain, if he lays it on in earnest?
