Mr.. Daniel resumed his speech against
the ti-option bill Mr.. Daniel closed
his speech with discussion of the State
bank question. Mr.. White brought
the debate back to the anti-option
bill and opposed it in strong language.
Mr. White closed with an eloquent and
lmpassioned defense of the devotion to
the constitution, even though it might
be mistaken devotion which the South
had manifested and which he asserted
that the Senator from Minnesota, in his
opening remarks, had sneered and gibed
at, and said of the unconstitutionality OF
this bill there could be no doubt. He
declared the bill to be mighty conspir
acy against the consumers of the country
in behalf of favored interest. Aftel
Mr.. White had spoken nearly two hours
to a most attentive Senate, the bill wa
temporarily laid aside and the House
bills unobjected to were tax n up anC

Interesting Cor sssions Made by
One OF the DemocI attic
Journals of the East

Albany, N Y. Times, (dem.): An Of
ncial report presented to the British
parliament, printed in large volume Of
nearly 400 pages, furnishes a complete
ANALYSIS of the strikes and lockouts in
United Kingdom, in France, in Germany
and In the United States. during the
year 1890 From this report it appears
that during that year. there we're in the
United Kingdom l,02S strikes, affecting
392, 9S1 persons. In the United States
during the same year there we're 927
strikes, affecting 2499l5 persons; in
Germany, % strikes affecting 9S,700
persons.
In comparing these figures, it must be
remem cred that in 1896 the population
OF the United Kingdom was 37,464.941,
while in the United States the popula-
ton was g., 49,, $50 so that the number
of strikes in proportion to the popula-
ton of Great Britain was nearly double
the number ia the United States Fur
thermOre, the strikes mentioned in the
British report do not include the uuner
our bread riots prevalent in Europe, tut
unknown in this country, resulting from
the frequent suffering Of the people for
lack of food
1t appears that each strike in United
Kin gdom affected on tie average $50
people. which each strike in this coun-
try affected Tut 237 persons, that a
much greater number of employees ere
involved in labor troubles in the United
Kingdom Of Great Britain and Irela d
than in this republic. There is much
less occasion for strikes in this county,
becausa the condition OF the working
people in America is far superior to the
cor5ition of the laboriug classes in Great
Britain. Many of the wog king people in
the United States own their own homes,
which is rarely the case in any European
country 1t is rarely the case in Leeds,
a great manu- acturiLg city of England,
With a population of over 100000, not
Que workingman owns the house he
lives, while at Homestead, Pa more
than half Of the mill workers have homes
OF their own. And this is la gely the
case 10 all the manu-, acturing towns Of
the United States.
Another important indication Of the
better condition of tie WOrkinymen in
this country is to be found in the saw
ing banks reports In 1890 the dppos Is
On the savings banks in the United

d" HELENA. Mont, Special. July IA jury
IN the United States circuit court to-day
awarded John W.. Plummer a verdict OF
$4,000 in his suit against the Granite
Mountain Mining company. Plummer was
formerly employed by the company as
superintendent and general manager. In
this capacity he advertised for bids for a
quantity of cordwood to be used in the
operations of the mine. The successful
bidder was John Hall, whose bid was
slightly in excess of 5000. Charges
were a terward made that Hall was
in collision with PIummer, and that
he was deli vering wood in excess
of his c ntract. Plummer denied that
there was anything wrong in his admins
tretion of the affairs of the company. The
directors insisted that the contract should
be Immediately r%cscinded. Plummer went
to Hall and explained the matter TO him,
but could not get the contractor to throw
up his agreement. The manager then told
the directors TINT it was impossible to
break the contract, but in order to save the
company from any loss and to satisfy them
that everything was all right he would pay
over to tire company $50, co., Under this
arrangement Mr.. Plummer SAYS there was
to be all investigation of his administra-
ton. and if everything VASE found to be
correct the $50. 100 would be returned to
him. He waited some time for the inves-
tigation, but none was had. Suit was in
