MARY WASHINGTON, MONUMENT
On Friday last a decision was rendered
in the Court of Appeals of Virginia
that quieted l the title to the Mary
Washington monument at Fredericks-
burg Now, says the Lynchburg Nea0s,
let that long neglected marble ascrip-
ton to the Roman traits of character
which marked the mother of Washing
ton be consummated and completed.
1t was commenced in 1888, ffty-nine
years ago. Andrew Jackson, then
President of the United States, presid
ed at the inaugural ceremonies. The
proverbial ingratitude of republics has
been manifested in the long and dis
graceful neglect to complete the me-
mortal shaft. The way is now clear to
complete the monument, and it is a
marker of private and public rejoicing.
THE HOMESTEAD STRIKES ENDING.
The ending of the great Homestead
strike by vote of 10f to 81 at the meet
ing of the leaders of the Amalgamated
ASSOCIATION OF Iron anu Cleet w OTheTS
Sunday is an event of no little import
ance in the industrial and labor world.
Beginning on June 80, 1892, on account
of the Carnegie Company's proposal to
reduce the scale of wages, the strike
has been one of great bitterness and
has had important effects. Some $4,-
SOC, 900, at a conservative estimate, was
lost by the company, the State and the
strikers The attempt of the company
| on July to get possession of its works
| by means of Pinkerton men caused a
fight, in which many lives were lost.
The strike will be memorable in our
political history as having afforded
an object lesson to workers through
| out the Union during a presidential
campaign upon the futility of the high
TIA tiff as means of raising or sustain
ing the wages of labor. 1t is not i'm
PROBABLE that the cause of tariff reform
gained thousands of votes on Novem-
Der 8 by reason of the instruction the
Homestead strike gave the people. The
condition of many of the strikers is a
pitiable one and merits the attention

The Republicans went into office in
1889 with over a hundred millions in
the Treasury, accumulated under
Democratic administration. Now the
surplus is gone and deficit stares the
country in the face All that vast sum
has been squandered on pensions and
jobs of various kinds, and the people
in some way will have to make good
the deficiency. The Democrats will
go into power handicapped by d debt
instead of the large balance they left
to the credit of the Government when
they retired from power. That debt
will have to be provided for, but the

Julia for long time was expecting John
to relieve her of her notwithstanding name.
but heI expectations went for naught, and
now she wants her cruel lover arrested.
Jnlia's case is a very sad one. She met John
ia Los Angeles about two years ago ana
hirted with him on divers occasions while she
was washing windows ia the capacity OF q
domestic. They soon made the acdualnt-
ance of leach other, and then John took her
TO church several times.
One day he started out to take her TO
church for the purpose of joining hands for
better or worse. According to Julia's story
she was deeoyed into lOdginR-house. he
prevailed upon her, under promise OF mar
rying her, to live with him. One fine day
child was born, and then John deserted the
unfortunate mother, leaving her pennllesS.
She came to this city and was getting along
well until Murray left Los Angeles and met
her here. He induced her to resume rela-
tons with him, and another child was born.
Then the heartless man again deserted her,
at the same time taking all her clothes and
pawnlng them. As the statute OF limlta-
tons barred charge Of seduction. war
