THE POPULOUS BAY STATE.
MassachuSetts Has Twenty Cities, Each
 Having Over 2o,o0o Population.

Massachusetts Has Twenty Cities, Each
 Having Over 2o,o0o Population.
 Virginia and half of the states in tl union combined show no more cities of over twenty thousand inhabitants than are to be found in Massachusetts. This fact is not readily apparent from the census bulletins thus far issued, says the New York Evening Post, as in none of them are cities having less population than twenty-five thousand ranged according to their population rank. The fact is also so surprising that few persons will believe it with out proof. But there is no place at all with so many inhabitants as twenty thousand in nine states-viz., Vermont, Mississippi, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota. Nine states again have each no more than one town numbering over twenty thousand people. Those states are New Hampshire, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, North Caro- lima, South Carolina, Louisiana, Ar kansas and Oregon. Four other states Maine, Nebraska, Colorado and Washington-count each only two cities that have passed the twenty thousand limit. These three classes of states amount to twenty-two; that is, half the whole number of the United States, and seventeen is the to- tai of their cities with each census upward of twenty thousand. Twenty such cities, however, are in the roll of Massachusetts. These are Boston, Worcester, Lowell, Fall River, Cam bridge, Lynn, Lawrence, Springfield, New Bedford, Somerville, Holyolze, Salem, Chelsea, Haverhill, Brockton, Taunton, Gloucester, Newton, Maiden, Fitchburg. Three cities of this size and no more appear in the census of Virginia-viz., Richmond, Norfolk and Petersburg.

THE LEHIGH STRIKE.

The Lehigh Valley strike has practi- cally collapsed and gone into the un- broken record of abor agitation failures. The grievance of the strikers may have been well grounded, but in any event the success of the movement would have been regarded as latter day mir acle, and the folly of the strikers in at- tempting at this time to secure re- dress of wrongs, fancied or real, almost divests their cause of popular sympathy. The company may or may not have been abundantly able to accede to what we may admit for the sake of argument to be the just demands of the strikers. That is not an issue in the case at all and it's discussion is foolish and useless.
 Since last spring more than 1000, ,0O0 men have been thrown out of employ | ment and nearly as many more gre | holding their places at reduced salaries and by uncertain tenure. The whole industrial system of the country is tot tering, thanks to the expression of the popular will year ago and any agitation calculated to precipitate it's utter over throw might almost be regarded as criminal. Day before yesterday few men h a department of the Newport, (Ky.) rolling mills went out, and five hundred men without employment is the result. When once the fires have been extinguished, the present attitude of the Democratic congress toward that particular industry offers no induce ment for re-kindling them, and the great army of the unemployed is in- creased by five hundred men.
 The day following the announcement that coal had been placed on the free list of the new tariff bill the operatives of an Illinois coal mining company, of which the vice-president of the United States is president, struck on account of threatened reduction of 1215 cents day and another body of men was mustered into the great army. The men in both the rolling mill and the coal mine may have been already ground down to the point of suffering, yet any wages they might have been able to obtain under the present condi- tions would have been preferable to the wages of idleness.
 From the great lesson which working men have been coming during the past year, they should have learned this {: That the industrial institutions of the country are running by no motive power, but those that are running at 1 all derive their motion from a momentum acquired during thirty years of Republican fostering and protection. This power has been withdrawn. and though it will certainly be applied again sometime, there will almost as cer- tainly be an interval sufficiently long to permit the momentum to become ex- hausted,
 | A strike is an obstruction sometimes a necessary one in seasons of great pros- perity, but now it is dangerous fric- tion which can have no other effect than to unnaturally reduce the lessen- ing momentum. This is no time for the discussion of wrongs and griev- ances, however real.
 For the sake of the workingmen of the east we are glad that the Lehigh strike failed at an early stage of it's progress, before it's manipulators were able to drag other roads into it and thus pre-. cipitate widespread disaster.

"JUSTlCE" IN FRANCE.
French Justices Are Despotic tn,
Gar of Russia.

French Justices Are Despotic as the
Gar of Russia.
There is no country where more ex-
traordinary scenes are to be witnessed
in courts of justice than in France. The
other day military prisoner was being
tried BY court martial here upon
charge of theft, says Paris correspond
ent of London paper, and in due
course he was asked by the president
whether he had anything to say in his
defense.
Eyes, mon colonel" he replied, and,
pointing to the captain who had been
conducting the prosecution, Il asked
that truss of hay be voted for that
donkey" The remark startled the men,
bers of the court to such degree that
it took them some moments to recover
their equaninity, whereupon they sem
fenced the prisoner to six months i'm
prisonment for theft and to ten years
detention with hard la Dor for insulting
member of the court.
A similar incident took place few
days previously at the Palais de Justice.
A poor fellow. having just heard him
self condemned to five months impris-
onment for an offense described as
vagrancy. but which merely consisted
in pursuing his calling as street mu-
sician, was wrought up to such pitch
by the severity of his punishment and
BY the prospects of his wife and chill
dren being left without support for SO

he was being led away: You are moth

That big judge hes had his eyes closed
during the whole trial" BY order OF
the court the prisoner was brought back
to the dock, and Eve minutes later the
poor wretch heard himself sentenced
to five years penal servitude for having
insulted the court. This recalls to
mind an incident in the career of Gam
BETA prior to the overthrow of the en-
pire. He was in the act of addressing
the court in behalf of a prisoner, when
suddenly he perceived that the preSid-
ing Judge was visibly doing. He
paused for moment, and then bring
ing down his fist with terrible thump
on the desk in front of him, he shouted
in his most resonant and clarion-like
voice: ''As / was saying before the
awakening of the court" This apos-
trophe was Immediately punished by
the indignant judge suspending the
young lawyer from practicing his pro-
fession for period of two months.
Less energetic, yet equally effective,
was our well known AMI popular
academician and lawyer, Maitre Rousse,
who. having likewise observed that the
presiding magistrate was indulging in
nap, suddenly stopped talking. The
prolonged silence, which lasted for four
minutes, had the effect of Weakening the
judge, and as soon as he opened his
eyes Maitre Rousse made a profound
bow and resumed his speech as follows:
'As | was saying, Messieurs de la
Court, at your last audience" laying
special stress on the word last" The
reproof was so delicate that everybody
smiled. even including the judge him

very shallow and small. Prices are no
doubt higher, the rental value consid-
cred, than in Chicago.
In Venice scarcely any property is
offered for sale. The city has decreased
in population. but there seem to be no
vacant houses, and the only way i
could ascertain the value of property
was to figure out the rents on the busi-
ness streets, which were higher, all
things considered. than in Chicago. In
the old city of Rome rents on two or
three of the principal streets ARE very
high, and the stores being small it
would seem that a small income must
be produced according to the value
held upon the land. In some directions
from the center of Rome buildings are
being erected. and land for an ordinary
residence lot, in a rather poor locality,
compared with any of our suburbs,
would be worth about so or 40 per
cent. higher than the prices we ask.
Even in Cairo, Egypt, the price of
lots along the business streets would
astonish an American. l asked the
proprietor Of an English store called
the Manchester, located near Shep-
heards hotel, W hat rent he paid. The
store was about % feet front by about
40 feet deep, with a small annex half as
large. lie answered that he paid about

MUSIC IN EMERGENCY.
Singing Before Band of Brigands-
Cherubini'S Public Per rfOrmance.

olhBiuB beIOIS hGEEo VI ASTiS8lub-
Cherubini's Public Performance.
The famous tenor and father of Mali
bran was once in Mexico giving oper-
attic performances. War broke out,
and Garcia was soon on his way home.
Before he reached Vera Cruz band OF
brigands met him and took not only
his money and valua bles but also his
clothes In ransacking his things the
jolly brigands soon found out that
their captive was singer, SO they de-
Inanded a song. Garcia positively re-
fused. Then the attitude of the rob-
bers became, menacing and Garcia
thought it well to acquiesce. He did
SO, and was led to prominent position
for the better enjoyment OF the song.
The great vocalist opened his throat,
but could not progress, whereupon the
soi-disant patrons Kissed and cursed.
This was terrible to bear-insult and
derision. Garcia made another effort,
and burst into fight of song which
entranced his hearers-so much so that
they restored him part of his clothes
and valua bles and escorted him as near
as they could safely venture to the
coast
Something of a similar experience
was once the lot of Cherubini, vino had
TO figure in the role of a fiddler in spite
of himself. In the stormy days of 1892
it was a psrilous experiment to walk
the streets of Paris. During an occa
sion of more than ordinary excitement
the composer of Les Deux Journees,"
''Medee," etc, fell iatO the hands OF
band of sans culottes who were rowing
about seeking musicians to conduct
their chants. To them it was special
qualification to compel the talent that
had formerly delighted royalty to min
lister now to their own qualification. On
Cherubini firmly refusing to lead them
low murfnur ran through the crowd,
and the fatal words The royalist, roy
alist." went up. At this critical mo-
ment one of Cheru binis friends-also
kidnapped musician-seeing his immi-
nent danger, thrust violin into his
unwilling hands and bade him head the
mob. The whole day these two mu-
sicians accompanied the hoarse and
overpowering yells of the revolutionary
horde, and when at last halt was
made in public square, where ban
quet took place, Cherubini and his
friend had to mount empty barrels and
play till the feasting was over.
One notable instance should be men
toned of the art being resorted to un-
successfully, but the severity of Mars
had more to do with the issue than any
want or sincerity on the side of Apollo.
Adolphe Adam had been drawn as
conscript, but, preferring to serve his
country musicallv rather than marti-
ally, he went to the master of the Con-
serva toire and begged him to write q
certificate for him to be excused. Cheru-
bini knew the law of his adopted coun-
