The Dangerous Strikers.

The most marked of the great eco
nomic changes which are taking place in
this wonderful country is the daily for
nation of combinations of capital and
industry. They, and not the combina-
tions of workingmen, form the real dan
ger to the community. What more dan
gerous thing has there been lately than
the consolidation of the coal interests?
I undertake to say that about nine-tenths
of the coal lands east of the Allegheny
mountains are controlled by about half
a dozen men. That half dozen men
could starve New York next winter if
they chose. The military should have
been called out against this coal inter
est, and not against few workingmen
who struck for an hours pay for an
hours work. They have struck blow
at every industry that makes wealth.
By controlling the fuel necessary to
make steam they control everything re-
quiring steam. Who will say that these
are not the strikers most to be feared?-

light of a new day and in the border.

| light of new day and in the border
land between sleep and consciousness to
struggle back to the horror of the reality
is horrible, most horrible. To enter
once more upon a day which contains
no pleasure, no hope-to feel that in the
hustle, activity and brightness of the
morning you can never more have any
share. On Sundays you hear the church
bells ringing-sometimes you see happy
families passing through to parks-these
are like sights and sounds from farot
world-you know that henceforth you
can never have a part or lot in them"
How powerless are words to express
the stories of hopeless, awful misery
which heard one evening from the po-
liceman and fireman who accompanied
me through Battery park! l had read
of the sufferings of Jean Vatican told by
the powerful pen of Victor Hugo, the
tortures of the Inferno pictured by the
poetic fervor of Dante, still these stories
told in the matter of fact, unexaggerated
manner of common policeman were
more horrible than either. So accus-
toned do the policemen become to sights
and sounds of misery and suffering that
they are usually unmoved by them. But
even they now seemed touched by their
own recital of them, as though the sight
of Mortified listeners made them realize
the infinite pathos of the stories. Could
it be possible that we call ourselves a
civilized, even Christian people, and
allow such horrors to exist in our midst?
1t was not alone the frightful physical
suffering, but the still more horrible
mental and moral degradation, and yet
there are good people who quiet their
consciences by the fallacy that these
outcasts prefer this life to a life of hon
est, happy work, not recognizing the
fact that our present social order denies
to thousands of men the most priceless
of all rights-the right to labor.
A system of industry which employs
thousands of illiterate children in it's
shops and factories, and as a natural
complement has created an army of over
a million of despairing, demoralized
tramps cannot be an ideal system;
neither can the society in which it ex-
lists be in healthy state.
The last ditch into which society
drives the unemployed is not pleasant
to contemplate. The words of Ruskin
come to ones mind, THAT country is
the richest which nourishes the greatest
number of noble and happy human be-
ings."
From this view of riches, how poor is
our country with its thousands of toll
ing children and its hordes of starving,
wretched tramps!-Ida NJ. Van Etten in

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR TRIBUNE.-The following ques-
ton has been sent to me by some kind
"protectionist' friend with the request
that l put it in my pipe and smoke it."
just why it was given to me | do not
know, but | think the answer is easy
and simple:
Free traders claim that trade is an
advantage-that 1t is so to both parties
to the trade-that the greater the advan-
tage to the one, the greater it is also to
the other. Now, if that be so, is it not
more advantageous to nation to have
Its citizens trade with each other and
thereby make taoO profits instead of trad
ing with a foreigner, thereby enriching
the foreign nation?'
Now for example: If an American
trade with Canadian, the American
nation makes but one profit, where if the
trade was between two Americans, the
nation would have two profits. Now,
Mr.. Editor, the fallacy of considering
the above an argument is found in the
failure to apportion et0rt and capital.
>. II one American trades with Cana
dlan, there is only one effort and one
capital expended and one profit made.
II t'oo men trade there are tao0 efforts
and taoo capitals expended and t,cO profits
TO the nation. If only one trade is made
and one profit to the nation, the other
effort and capital are saved to the nation,
and can be used to advantage in other
dlrections-it matters not where.
Now, the question of profits depends
upon the number of men engaged in the
trade-the more men trade, the more
profits are made.
trust the above will satisfy my friend
and help remove the cob webs from his
inner chambers. But l trust the next
argument C0 of my friend will be of
more substantial character. J.F.S.

The San Francisco Wasp has been
keeping the run of changes on the SEN
storial question and the following EN-
bodies its latest outgivings, and they are
substantially right. 1t must be remem-
bered that Col Dan Burns is the real in
spirstion of that lively journal of the
hebdomsdal guild, and it is probably
Dan who says this:
At this writing the election of Stephen
M. White as-United States senator from
California is assured. During the week
the accessions to Whites forces were
astonishingly large. Tom Clunie en-
rolled himself under the White banner
Judge Sullivan drew out of the contest
and Joined with the Los Angeles candi-
date; Reel Terry declared in favor
OF White, thus giving q strong
southern prestige to the contest,
aud last OF all, Editor Henderson of the
Examiner threw up his hands in de-
spair, and confessed to trusted min
ion, in the eecresy of his sanctum, that
"Willie was barreled." In other words,
the young magnate who rules the
monarch" OF the dailies could make no
headway against the fiood-tide OF
Whites popularity. The Examiner has
lost it's vengeful fight and the successor
of Mr.. FELTON, will hail from the citrus
belt.
The only thing wrong in the foregoing
souib is that it is headed "The Sena-
torial Contest" The fact is that there
is no contest, and there has been none
since the result of the Legislative elec-
tions was clearly ascertained.

AMUSEM ENTS,

GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-The author of
"Bilis Boot" Harry Williams new
burlesque extravaganza, that is to be
presented at the Grand opera house
Friday and Saturday evenings and
Saturday matinee, has got right away
from the ordinary light entertainment.
He has evolved something entirely
original, as we'll as pleasing, and the re-
suit is that every critic in the large
eastern cities has praised the perform
ance without stint. The story is q
comical one, and it is excellently and
consistently worked out. Bill Weeds is
dead, although he leaves widow, who
appears in the play. Before dying Bill
is said to have hidden boot containing
very large cum of money, which boot
and money, by the terms of his will, is
to become the property of the lucky
finder. This story infismes the imsgi-
nation of two worthy couples to such an
extent that they devote their lives to
trying to find this wonderful boot.
Joseph j. Sullivan is Michael Ma
honey, one of the searchers, and his
wife, Bridget, is played by James Rus
sell. The other couple are Larry Smith
as Jacob Grabenheimer, and John Rus
sell as Maggie Grabenheimer. With
these four comedians it can easily be
imagined that the fun is fast and furi-
Gus, and that the hunt for Bills boots
is lively affair, both in their waking
moments and in their dreams. An in
dication of the funny conceits in the
piece is afforded in the names OF the
characters. Here are a few of them !:
Hugh Buythebeer, Willie Everdrop,
Avery Mistyday, Ellis Likefury, Titus
Wax, B. More Careful, Dusty Rhoads,
A. Corker, Miss Fits, etc.
