The American edition of The Review
Of Reviews pays its respects to several
Americans who have figured in politics
in Great Britain both during the recent
campaign and before. The Review does
not find that they covered themselves
with glory, and is of opinion that
they might be in better business than
meddling with English politics, espe-
cially in the particular way in which
they have chosen to exploit themselves.
Of certain of our former citizens now
in England the editor of The Review OBJ
serves:
The curious fiasco of Mr.. Henry NJ. Stanley's
attempt TO get into parliament as a Chamber
lainite from a London constituency was one of
the sensations Of the campaign. Mr.. Stanley
viii have small sympathy on this side of the
water. With Henry NJ. Stanley posing as an
enemy Of Irish home rule, with William Henry
Hurlbert's notorious Misrepresentation Of the
Irish question in the interest of Tory landlords
with George Washington Sma1ley sneering pc
rennially at Mr.. Gladstone In the New York
Tribune and with Harold Frederic playing the
part of facile Journalistic tool for the desperate
scheme to rehabilitate Sir Charles Dixie we
have very sorry quartet of American med
dlers In English politics, and il is scant credit
they do to the opinions and convictions of the
republic that they so egregiously misrepresent.
Their performances are q source Of mortifca-
ton to the mass of right thinking Americans.

over two hundred tax payers, is GER
tainly sufficient guarantee of the pop
ular need of the reading room to war
rant the council in appropriating funds
for its support. 1t is not to be expected
that an institution of this character can
be perpetuated by private funds. 1t is
a public affair, utilized and enjoyed by
the people generally, and hence should
receive the aid of the peoples money.
Few institutions are more worthy than
this, and since so much money is freely
appropriated to the education of the
children in the public schools, the
small amount needed to maintain an
educational institution of this character
for the adults of the city should not be
refused. The gentlemen composing
the committee to which the petition
was referred are of the progressive
stamp, and can be relied upon to SUBJ
NIT a favorable report upon the propo-
sition.

INVITED TO WASHINGTON

Mrs. Emma Miller, of New Whatcom
senior vice-president of the Woman's
Relief Corps, has received invitations
to attend the exercises to be held in
Washington, d, c., of the National
Woman's Relief Corps convention,
The invitation also includes attendance
upon Mrs. John A. Logan's private re-
ception on the Goth inst. to the veter-
ans of the state of Illinois present at the
capital city.

During all these years parliament was
investigating and legislating, and the be
neficent "factory acts" and coliery laws
were passed. Women and boys under
fourteen were no longer allowed to be
put in the mines. Child labor was abol-
ished in many trades and greatly limited
in others. Wages rose slowly but stead
lily for twenty years, and the percentage
of paupsrism declined one-half.
Thomas Cooper, known as the Last
Of the Chartists." died July last. In
early life he was a prisoner in Stafford
Jail two years for advocating 1.-THE
Charter" yet for the last twenty years
of his life he had enjoyed far more priv
ileges than he asked for at the start. At
the time of the queens jubilee 1t was es-
timated by the most conservative British
statisticians that the common people
were 80 per cent. better fed, 40 per cent.
better clothed, so per cent better hous-

ed and $50 per cent. better educated

ed and $50 per cent. better educated
than when Victoria was crowned.
Still there were strikes-of 10000 col
liers in 1867, of 10000 Welsh laborers in
1878, of $4,000 Welsh miners in 1875, of
$4,000 Lancashire spinners in 1876, of all
the shipbuilders' workmen on the Clyde
in 1877, and of 10000 cotton spinners in
1873. In the spring of 1879 the famous
strike of the Durham coal miners began,
which was settled by arbitration. With.
out going into details of the hundreds
of minor strikes it is sufficient to state
the two important facts-the ratio of
strikes in which the laborers succeeded
has greatly increased while the hours of
labor in the organized industries have
been slightly diminished. Against this,
as some workmen think, should be set
the fact that by improved machinery
the power of women to supplant men
in manufacturing has enormously in
creased.
While the great Lancashire strike
still fingered the attention of the world
was suddenly called to the United
States, where for about one month
there ragged the most extended and de-
structive labor war of this age. AS the
panic of 1873 caused all other panics to
be forgotten or ignored, SO the railroad
riots of 1877 left all previous labor trou-
bles in insignifcance. For this cause
doubtless the statement has crept into
works meant to be historic that there
were no strikes or labor troubles of con-
sequence 'before the war"
There were some even before the Rev
olution. After the Indians were finally
subdued wages rose so rapidly that
there was loud call for legal interfer
ence. In New York they were 215
times as high as in England, and in
Massachusetts higher still. The ship
builders of that colony formed the first
trades union in America, and the colonial
legislature promptly came down upon
them with statute regulating wages.
1t was forbidden in Newburyport to pay
higher daily wages than to-carpenters,
5s. 4d. (Sl,2S}; calkers, 6s. tS1.44}; day
laborers, As. (96 cents; masons, 6s. 81. 40.
The laborers invented many ways to
evade the law. OF course the trades
unions were also political clubs, and
there is a Boston tradition that the
to throw that famous tea
overheard was first adopted at a meet
ing of ship carpenters.

Fairhaven has hotel second to none
on the Sound, and is abreast Of the
state In the line Of schools, churches.
prosperous chamber of commerce and
the various other institutions belong
ing to wide-awake and enterprising
city, but is lacking in the important
essential Of an opera house with suffi-
Gent capacity to accommodate COM
panies carrying large stage apparatus.
The time is ripe for the erection of such
a building, and its construction will
not only be an excellent advertisement
Of the city, but must prove profitable
investment Of capital. 1t is rather
humiliating TO realize that when a
company such as the "Stowawayr
desires to perform on the Bay, 1t Is un-
able to appear in Fairhaven owing to
the lack of stage facilities which main
tain here. No one doubts the ultimate
outcome Of the city as one Of the most
Influential and prosperous of the Puget
Sound basin, nor does any one believe
that city can lay claim to any special
spirit Of advancement or progress with
out a public hall which is fully ade-
quate to the demands of any local or
outside stress which may be put upon
IL In the line Of public entertainments,
and since the future is bright with
promise, and one Of the essentials in
the realization of this future is build
ing Of this character, why not take inn
mediate steps towards Its construction?

In 1903 the first recorded strike in the
United States occurred-that of the
sailors in New York city. The organ
izer was promptly sent to jail, and the
men begged pardon and returned to
their ships. In 1929 a laborers' party
elected one Ebenezer Ford to the New
York legislature. A motion to expel him
as an "agrarian" was brought forward,
but defeated. In 1886 there was strike
of tailors, whereupon twenty.one Of
them were arrested and fined 800 each.
Then the long agitation for the ten hour
day began, and on the 10th Of April,
1910, it was established in the navy
yards by proclamation of President Van
Buren,.
In 1S47 strikes first began to be recog-
nized as fixed facts. There were many
that year and the strikers were not oft
en- prosecuted. The ten hour day had
become quite general by 1880. After
the war the great labor agitation began
ON systematic plan, and the panic OF
1878 soon showed how thoroughly labor
was organized. In few weeks after
Jay Cookies failure every rolling mill
from Pittsburg to Cairo was idle, and in
the Mahoning valley the situation was
much like that of civil war. In 1874
strikes were the rule and continuous la
Dor the exception in large sections Of the
country.
There was slow improvement in the
labor situation till in 1877 the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad ordered 10 per cent.
reduction Of wages to take effect on
July 10. That was the signal for an ex-
ploion. As one man the railroad men
revolted. and like a prairie fire the line
Of conflict ran over the country. In one
week every city between the Hudson
and Mississippi was IN commotion. In
another many of them were sprinkled
with blood and a few SCARED by fire.
There was hard fighting at Baltimore.
Pittsburg, Cleveland and Chicago.
For ten days many cities and towns
were completely isolated 80 far as trade
was concerned. The workmen virtually
took possession of the railroads in many
places. An investigating committee re.
ported the total losses at about 400
lives and $100,000,000. All previous
strikes were ignored, nor has there
since been any year to at all compare
with 1877. The strikes of this year are
but small affairs in comparison Work
ingmen have learned how to secure
their rights peacefully. And Let us
hope that capitalists have also learned
their lesson Of humanity and modera-
ton. j. H. BEADLE.

A Scientific spiritualist,

"He held the cranks down" was sait
of the late Colonel John G. Bundy, edito
of The Religio-Phiiosophical Journal, o
Chicago. With equal truth it might b,
said that he held the frauds down a,
well. He was unalterable in his convic
ton Of the reality of communication be
tween spirits In and out of the flesh, but
no man ever pursued fraudulent "me-
diums- and manifestations more merci-
lessly than be He held that the cause
Of sptritualism could IN no way be bet
ter served than by unearthing the frauds
and tricksters that have so gathered
about II as at times to well nigh disgust
all decent people with its pretensions.
No msteriahstic scientist, no strict or
thodox priest or preacher ever more
zealously hunted to the earth the frauds
practiced on the public In the name of
spirfualism than John c. Bundy did.
He was, moreover, one of the clearest
headed. coolest, most Intelligent men Of
his time. with brain packed fun Of
shrewdness and common sense. Yet be
held that after thorough citing and
exposure OF all the tricks and cheating,
whereby unprincipled professional me
diums make a living off public thai
dearly loves to be gufled, thsze still re
mains undoubted evidence Of oommuni
cation between departed spirits aud host
in the flesh. He certainly had q right
to believe 80 if be chose.
To the scientific establishing of his
faith and to psychic research generally
he devoted his life and his paper. Hi
unquestioned sincerity and his trained
power Of scientific reasoning fitted hin
peculiarly for the task he had under
taken. and bis death most therefore b
a great loss to psychic resesSch in
America. The increasing number Of
authenticated facts in hypnotisn, clair.

as the remarkable cures of disease
by no known medical means, show
there Is a wonderful field opening be.

Whether one goes IN for spiritualism
or not he must regret the death of a
man whose journal was devoted to the
examination of such psychological facts,
Colonel Bundy was president of the
council which was organizing a worlds
psychic congress, to meet during the
fair at Chicago.
1t is pleasant to recall that Colonel
Bundy was man Of pure and gentle

One of the most important duties
which will devofve on the school
board of Fairhaven is the election of a
superintendent of the city schools. AS
the work to be accomplished during
the year will in all likelihood take its
coloring from the character Of the SUI
perintendent, the utmost care should
be exercised in his selection In the
election Of lady or gentleman to this
important position, the personal pref
erences and friendships Of the directors
should be secondary to the necessity of
securing an experienced educator and
skilful diseiplinarian, one whose ability
as an instructor and influence among
the teachers and in the community
will insure the placing Of our city
schools on an equality with those Of
any other city in the state. II il bet
ter to delay the election until the
proper one is secured rather than to
repent for an entire year the haste Of a
moment and give our school work a
setback from which il will take years
to recover.

The free reading room, which has
heretofore been maintained at the ex-
pense Of private contributions, is now a
petitioner before the city council for
financial aid in order to continue its ex-
istence. The funds which have been
donated for its maintenance are about
exhausted, and unless the municipal
government stretches out paternal
hand in its support, the doors must be
closed and its advantages denied to the
residents Of the city. The petition
