May Day, the eight-hour demand would | have been universally granted. Not | that we blame on thls occasion the "conservative" leaders who restrained the impatient, for we realize the fearful responsibility that rested upon them and the necessity of caution in view of the disastrous effects of general strikes in the past; but we state that the con ditions were actually such as to preclude the possibility of failure.
 These conditions have not materially changed during the past fortnight. The materials of industry are as abundant as they were. Their cheapness, which causes distress among the farmers, is an inducement to the capitalists who con trol the machinery of industry and eX- change. Money is pouring from abroad into this country faster than it can be used in opening new outlets for capital. istic enterprise, and most of it must consequently seek real estate or stock investments with the result of driving up the prices of both. The rapid ad- vance of improved and unimproved property is a well -known fact, while the average price of railroad and other stocks rose nearly ten per cent since the last week in February.
 Note, furthermore, that there is but little speculation of the adventurous sort as compared with the actual volume of business. As we have repeatedly ob- served, with the growing concentration of wealth the wild cat speculator tends to disappear. Good property is bought, even at prices that might have been deemed inflated some years ago, by wealthy people who intend to keep it; so that crises must become less and less frequent, and "labor agitators" can no longer hope for an awakening of the masses from sudden collapse of the business machine, but must work earn estly and intelligently to the national and international organization Of labor
 against the national and international
 organization of capital.
 Of course there are many failures;
 but most of them are of small merchants,
 that is to say, of the class that is doomed
 to complete extermination in the great
 conflict. Their progressive disappear
 ance, instead of proving source of
 business disorder, cons olidates the plu-
 tocracy and secures it in the control of
 the machinery of production and of the
 great operations of commerce.
 In the course of time, however, the
 agricultural distress must react upon the manufacturing industries and other branches of activity. But this will not sensibly affect the great capitalists, ex
 cept in so far as the consequent idleness
 of their capital may temporarily pIeven, them from accommodating greater wealth Not so with the working classes, who will then find themselves idle in large numbers and may rapidly-irrevocably perhaps lose all the small advantage, which they are now gaming. For thi very reason they cannot now demand too much, nor demand it 100 soon. Bu they must, above all things, organiz' with view to independent political ac tion, upon socalistic basis.
 . The advantages gained, we say, mus be made permanent by legislation. An, this can only be accomplished by inde pendent political action, which is, there fore, the next step and the pressing nee, of the hour.

It has transpired that in order to in crease the net earnings of the Union Pacific the management of that road has so curtailed the operating expenses that the rolling stock, track and general equipment have fallen into a deplorable condition, which threatens disaster. A large expenditure of money is now necessary to restore the road. Thus is the Union Pacific able to plead poverty before Congress.

Mention has previously been made of a great Anglo-American syndicate for the purpose of acquiring and operating gas properties in this country. This syndicate having now obtained control of very important works here while at the same time securing additional pecu- nlary support in England, company has been formed at a capital of $50,O00,- 900, to be supplemented by an issue of bonds upon its properties if more money is needed to make other profitable pur- chases. A we'll posted firm of Baltimore bankers write as follows in their weekly letter: I've understand the purpose of the Gas Syndicate is not to encourage or undertake speculative competition in the manufacture or supplying of gas, but on the contrary to discountenance such proceedings and to acquire estab. lished gas plants in different sections, which by economic and improved me. thod can be made under one manage. ment more successful and productive. 4

The Secre- tary declares that there is no disposition on the part of the administration of the Treasury to hoard money and that the surplus can only be used under the pres ent law in the redemption of the bonded debt of the United States, and that this is being done as rapidly as the bonds can be judiciously purchased, Touch ing the surplus, the Secretary says that it amounted on May to only $35, ,930,- 623, Exclusive of fractional silver coin) of which over $3l ,000,00 was on deposit in national banks, performing the duty of circulating medium, and that it is the policy and purpose of the Depart ment to withdraw large portion of this deposit and invest in United States bonds as rapidly as it can be done with out danger of decreasing the actual cir, culation.

Facts Concerning whales.

A sight of these huge, inoffensive
animals is often to be had during an
Atlantic voyage. They are too timid
to approach near the steamer. A
peculiarity about these wonderful
creatures is the tail, which is not verti-
cal as in most fishes, but level. by which
they are able to reach the surface of the
water with greater facility for the pur-
pose of respiration; and such is the
strength that even the largest whales
are able with its assistance to force
themselves entirely out of water. Ac-
cording to writer in the Ocean the
tail is their only instrument of pro-
they will send large boat with its
thousand pieces. Sometimes the ami
NAL viii take a perpendicular position
in the water, with the head downward
and rearing the tail on high beat the
waves with fearful violence. On these
occasions the sea foams for d wide
space around. This performance is
called by the sailors LOB tailing." A
whales head is about one-tiird of its
body. and its tongue is a thick mass
which was formerly considered a great
Ucllcacy OF Inc IaDlc, anu ilSnI OI
royalty. Their blood is red and warm
like mans, and the females suckle
their young. A whale has no external
ear. Their sense of hearing is imper-
feet. When the skin is removed a small
opening is perceived for the admission
OF sound. BY a quick perception Of ali
movements made on the water it dis
covers danger at a great dis ance. The
eyes are small, but the sense of seeing
is acute.
A whale does not attain full growth
under twenty-five years, and is said to
reach a very great age. They live in
families rather than herds and are of a
kindly nature, with the instinct OF
family affection very strongly devel-
oped. Whales have no teeth, instead
OF which wialebones grow down out
of their upper jaw.

AN ATTRACTIVE POINT.-Astoria
has the largest and best harbor on the
Pacific coast. 1t has thirty large SAL
mon canneries, two great iron foun-
dries and a third one building, and
iron mines close at hand to supply
them with ore. The city has a govern
ment building with a custom bureau,
and is the best location for extensive
ship yards. These advantages render
that city an attractive point for the
investment of capital, and account for
the rapid sale Of those residence lots

Sleep IN PalGnlas.

The old-fashioned night-shirt is be-
ing rapidly suppanted by pajamas, and
this is verv sensible revolution, says
the N. Y. San. The sudden change
from complete street or house dress to
a thin sheet of linen or Gotten or silk
was productive not only of colds, but
ofrheumatism and often of pneumonia.
Draughts strike the legs of person
who wears q niGht-sIirt, and the legs
are very sensitive because they are at
all other times heavily clothed.
Then, again, such is the flighty ma
ture of an old-fashioned night-gown on
restless sleeper that it is always apt
to work above his stomach and expose
it to sudden chilling, and that is often
fraught with serious results. Ii you
will wear the old-fogy night shirt,
wear flannel band about the waist.
The pajama not only insures a COW
ering for the legs the night through,
but it guards the bowels, too. And it is
incomparably better in case the sleeper
should be called suddenly to get out of
bed. In suit of pajamas man can
always be called ''clothed," to cer-
tain extent. In a night-gOwn he is al
ways an old-womanish-looking fright
and uncompromisingly unpresentable.
Physicians do not think it matters
much to a healthy person whether
pajamas are made of silk or flannel or
linen. But those who are in poor
health or advanced in years would
doubtless do we'll to wear none but
flannel.

Women Are Very Aggravating.

A Boston business man, who is some
thing of crank, met the writer yester-
day afternoon, and, after exchanging
a few words about the result of the
elections, said: Did you ever notice
what aggravating creatures women
are? Or have | been singularly alfiict-
ed in having one OF the worst OF them
for my wife?"
''Why, what's the matter noW?" ques-
toned the writer in return.

you may believe, and, to make it
worse, just at that iuncture, my wife
stuck her head in the door and asked:
"Are you shaving, dear? Now, it

then she ventured to ask me if | did
not know it was heavy, and what made
me drop it on my foot; so you can bet
that | was mad clear through. SO,
when she said, Are you shaving, dear?
l turned on her and snapped out: No
you fool, I'm not shaving. If you had
any eyes you could see that I'm shovel
ing coal"

street and said: but it's just like a

tions like that. suppose if | were to

Gen. Grants Mug of Munich Beer

When Gen. Grant, on. his famous
tour round the world, arrived in
Munich, the American Consul, in
obedience to instructions from the De-
partment of State, received him at the
station, accompanied him to the hotel
and placed himself at the disposal of
the ex-President during his stay in the
Bavarian Capital. As d conscientious
cicerone the Consul first proposed
visit to the galleries of painting and
sculpture and the treasures Of the Ma
tional Museum, but the General de-
clared that he had been already suffi-
ciently bored by the works Of dead and
living masters, and he had since land
ing. become tolerably familiar with the
contents of old curiosity shops in En-
gland and on the Continent and would
much prefer q change of programme.
The Consul then suggested that il he
wished to confine his observations to
things of a distinctively local character
they would do well to begin with the
Court Brewery. A two minutes walk
brought them to this Mecca OF all thirsty
Municners. AT er having selected and
rinsed their mugs (the tapster would
distain 10 fill a smaller .measure) they
took their stand in a long file of equal
ly ardent devotees OF the Goddess
Cerevisia, and in due time were able to
retire with their portion Of the brown,
foaming beverage to such seats as they
were fortunate enough to find vacant.
The General lifted the stone mug to
his lips, and, having drawn off about
half its contents at q single draught,
set it down again with the lacouic re-
mark: CHATS rOOd.n Tradition is
silent as to the number of hours they
tarried over their beer, and no iniudi-
cious chroniccr has kept an exact tale
of the mugs they quatfed, but it is on
record that when the Consul called at
the hotel next day and inquired what
the General wished to do the latter re-
piled: ''Well. suppose we 90 to that
place again. .''-PA1adelphj@ Times.
