The year 1892 has been remarkable in al
least two respects Very few years i'm an
the worlds history have been marked by
such a general peace. though war was
threatened in many places, and yet there
have been several stupendous political rev
olutions, chief among them those in Great
Britain and the United States. Death has
been busy among the great. Tennyson
and Whittier-poet laureate Of the British
empire, and the poet Of frecdom-have
passed to the bosom of Divinity. Death
has twice visited the White House.
In the annals of labor and general bust
ness the year was certainly one with
out precedent. There were more de
structive riots in 1871 and there have
been years of greater abundance but
it is claimed by experts that in 1892,
for the first time in America, there was
at least average prosperity contempo-
rary with great industrial disturbances.
The bloody conflicts at Homestead, Pa,
and in east Tennessee. in Idaho aud wy
oming, and the comparatively bloodless
labor riots elsewhere, will certainly make
the year notable one in economic history
Though there has been no war there
have been many disasters, and in the first
half Of the wear thN Losses bv fire. flood and
windstorhns IN the United States were
many. -Four great tornadoes killed nearly
200 people, and four great mining disasters
destroyed as many more. Il is estimated
that about 6,0O0 lives were lost in the
United States 10y great accidents-among
them So by the fall Of "a bridge on the Lick
