The New Orleans Strike.

The strike IN New Orleans is ono Of the
most serious that has occurred In any city
in this country, because il includes all
classes of workers. The city would have
been left without Light or water IL IL had
not been for the personal appeals Of the
mayor and the threat of the fire insurance
companies that they would cancel all their
policies that covered city property II the
water supply were shut of. The bread
makers were called out and the people left
to get bread the best they could.
The origin of the trouble was a difference
between the merchants and their laborers
The merchants were willing to make about
all the concessions demanded by the laboTers
except that which required q recognition of
their union. All the labor unions of the
city are banded together in the organization
know as the Federation of Labor, and a
general strike was ordered in order to force
the merchants to recognize the union Of
their laborers.
The injustice of the action Of the fedora
tion is apparent. The gas and electric
light companies, the manufacturers and
newspapers. the bakers, and In fact, about
all the employers Of labor are made to suf-
fer In order that one small labor organiza.
ton may gain its point, Neither the manu-
facturers nor newspaper owners are in any
way responsible for what the merchants do,
and it is unjust to injure their interests
when their workmen have no grievance
against them.
The cotton of the federation In jeopardiz-
ing all the business Of q great city and inn
posing hardships upon all her people without
satisfactory reasons is likely to make the
employers Of New Orleans more hostile
than ever to the federation.
A few men control the federation and as
they have very little at stake about the
only thing they care about is the win
ming OF the fight in which they are
engaged. Apparently the loss inflicted
upon innocent sufferers is matter of com-
psratively little consequence to them. The
printers of the different newspapers fought
hard against leaving their cases, but were
forced to- yield to the order of the feder-
alton.
New Orleans has had some pretty severe
tussles with labor organizations, but the
present strike is likely to cost her more than
any previous one.

A Narrowing Tale OF the Sea.

They were seated upon the rocky cliffs over
looking bit of dangerous shore, whore a ship
had foundered the night before, says the De-
troit Free Press.
The restless waves beat upon the irregular
sea wall and sent great hecks of foam high into
the air.
Slowly going to pieces upon the cruel rocks
the good ship tossed in her agony as a delirious
patient losses on his bed IT pain.
Ever and anon the green waves dashed over
her and drove her firmer into the giant grasp
that was crushing the life out of her
The crew had been safely brought TO land and
the ship was left to the boisterous caresses OF
the heartless ocean.
AS the young man gaZed upon the terrific
scene of wind and wave and helpless ship an
awestruck silence sealed his lips.
After few moments thus he turned to the
beautiful girl beside him.
A family perceptbe smile shone in and out
amidst the pink and white of her lovely face,
He saw in 1t the sunshine that lives eternal in
| the faces of the angels
She put out her soft, white hand and touched
his arm.
He laid his hand tenderly upon hers.
What is it, darling?" he said, ill response to
| her questioning eyes.
"Algernon." she asked, as the breaking
| waves dashed high, docs the sea wear pantsYS
| Algernon shuddersd and would have fallen,
but his will was strong and he stood fast
Why do you ask th6t2" he said, with no
answering smile to hers.
Because, dear" she answered timidly, "be-
cause l thought IL must, it makes so many
breaches over the wreck down there, don't you
know"
Then Algernon fell to the earth with dull
thud

The yachtsmen of New York and London
are doing considerable talking about LORD
Dunravens challenge for the Americas cup
which, instead of making a settlement
nearer. appears to put it farther away
Dunraven. however, appears anxious for a
race and is willing to make concessions to
the demands of the Americans in order TO
bring one about. The yankees, who cannot
affort to lee him be the more generous, will,
therefore, have to meet him half way" so
there appears to be a t1rst-class prospect for
one Of the greatest races between deep water
racing machines of the highest type that
has ever been sailed IN American waters.
There will be plenty Of patriotic yankees to
give money and brains to the defense of the
token which indicate Americas supremacy
as builder of swift yachts. and it may be
that they will turn out craft that would
surprise the famous Burgess were he alive
to note her speed and beauty.

There was not d very heavy republican
vote cast in this county yesterday, but it
was much larger than it should have been
when everything is considered. The ab-
sence OF the old-time country darky was
very noticeable aud the presence Of the well
dressed young colored men with Harrison
badges il the !a2els OF their coats was con-
spicuous. These young negroes have been
and ara still being educated by white
taxpayers, who have freely contributed
their hard earnings to help class who pay
little or nothing into the public treasury
The white people Of the south have been try
ing for over a quarter of a century to make
the blacks friendly. Some day they will
quit that and leave them to care for them
selves. A noticeable fact here yesterday was
that while the negro politicians aud the
negro dudes voted the republican ticket the
older colored people voted the democratic
ticket without solicitation upon the part of
the whites aud without m }estation on the
part of their own color Ths latter Is GER
tainly something new.

GeorRls's ConRressmen.


The eleven men elected to congress from
this state are democrats. That is the infor-
nation at this hour The only doubtful
district was the Tenth. and there Tom Wat
sons cohorts have gone down before the
sweep of the legons of democracy. Assum-
ing that later returns will not change the re-
suit that has been announced. it is safe to say
that Mr.. Watson is back number num-
Der for which the people will have no use
again. Mr.. Turner made splendid run in
the Eleventh district, as did Mr.. Russell in
the Second and Mr.. Crisp in the Third.
Col. Testers majority in the First is a
handsome one. If the republican candidate
had kept out of the race his majority would
have been a great deal larger. 1t is large
enough, however, to show that the people
have high appreciation of his services and
consider he is the right man IN the righ
place.
Yesterday was a glorious day for democ,
racy. Georgia's majority for Mr. CLEVELAND
shows that the third party has no hold or
her and that she is for tariff reform anC
honest money.

Very Misleading.

The New York Tribune waited until the
campaign was over to make the following
statement:
Under the tariff of 1867 the percentage of
duty covering everything was 49, per cent.
Under the Mills bill the percentage OF duty
covering everything was % per cent. Under
the Mckinley tariff. now in force, the per-
oentage covering everything is only 81 per
cent. This is lower than the percentage of
any previous tariff law since the war and Z
per cent lower than the tariff proposed by
the democrats in the Mills bill"
Whether the percentages in the foregoing
are correct or not their purpose is 10 de-
ceive the public. 1t may be true that un-
der the Mckinley tariff the percentage
covering everything is only 81 per cent,
but vast number of things of great value
are covered by the tariff that are not at
fected by it one way or the other. The
tariff was put on these things-certain
farm products, for instance, which are ex-
ported and never impor ted-for

Cleveland Our Next President.


At this hour, 2 O'Clock a. m, there is
hardly ground for a reasonable doubt that
Mr. Cleveland is elected His election will
cause feeling OF profound satisfaction
throughout the entire country. He is a
safe, conservative man, who does what be be-
hsves to be for the best interests of the
whole people, without regard to the wishes
Of politicians or the effect his acts may
nave upon his own political fortunes.
Three times nominated for President, a
distinction enjoyed by no other man. be
brings TO his new term OF office broader
experience and ripper Judgment than he
possessed when he was elected in 1884. No
fault is to be found with his sdministra-
ton. It was so admirable that when be left
the presidential Office he carried with him
the love and respect Of the whole people.
Indeed, so profoundly had he impressed
them that they resolved to re-elect him in
1892. They have carried out their resolve,
and it is certain that they will find they
have made no mistake. He will not swerVe
from the line of duty, however great the
pressure to induce hin to do so may be,
and, being better fitted than ever for the
duties Of chief magistrate. his second ad-

Il is strange that some people, who have
no incentive 10 steal, cannot resist the temp
tatIon to do so. Miss Lucy Gardner, q
society girl of East Orange, N. j., was con
victed of theft the other day and a fine of
5000 imposed upon her. With her mother,
she lives on one Of the fashionable streets Of
the pretty little village. One day, about a
year AID half ago, Stern Bros. delivered
some goods to her. She complained that all
she had ordered had not been sent, and the
firm rectIied the alleged error. A short
time later another bill of goods was dehv-
cred, but this time the driver unpacked the
box and checked off each item on the bill
before his assistant entered Miss Gardner's
home. Again she complained Of not re-
ceiving ali she had ordered, and sent word
to Stern Bros. The result was her arrest
on a charge Of larceny. The trial was a
sensational one, owing to the prominence
Of the defendant. Skillful counsel were
employed in her defense, but the firm made
out case which could not be broken, and
she was convicted.
