The Ann ArbOr Strike Situati0n-Switch-
mon Strike on Big Four.
TOLEDO. March 19-The Ann Arbor
strike situation is quiet today after the
stirring events of yesterday. The brother
hood engineers held several meetings, at
which the order issued yesterday by Judge
Kicks compelling the brotherhood to bring
their bylaws and constitution into court
was the sole topic of discussion. The Ann
Arbor road had its full quota of freight
trains running today and General Man
ager Ashley says the road is in no danger
of blockade. 1t is given out tonight that
all the engineers on the Wabash will go on
strike within the next forty-eight hours in
sympathy with the Ann Arbor men.
Several OF the Lake Shore roads employees
struck on account OF the freight boycott
on the Ann Arbor road. Complaint was
made before Judge Hicks, who had
issued An order commanding Chief Arthur to
raise the boycott, and warrants were issued for
the arrest OF the employees. Three engineers were
arrested while taking part in a secret strikers
meeting and will have q hearing on Mon
day. Judge Hicks has also issued a restraining
order forbdding Wheeling L. Lake Erie road
employees to refuse to handle Ann Arbor freight
and obeying orders Of the Brotherhood.
SPRINGFIELp, O.. March 19.-The entire
force of the Big Four yards switchmen
went out on a strike this morning and the
yards are again tied up. The switchmen
claim they struck because the road had
not lived up to the agreement to take the
men back after compromise two weeks
ago. The switchmen demand the dis
charge of Yardmaster Carney, pay for
overtime, and the reinstatement of all
strikers, thirty-nine in number.

Tho Elka Social.

The Seattle lodge of Elks gave q highly
successful stag social on Saturday evening
at its hall in the Frye block. A fine pro-
gramme of vocal and instrumental music,
Rotations and addresses was carried out.
The instrumental music was furnished by
q mandolin club and an excellent orches-
ira. while some of the actors from Cord
rays theater contributed largely to the
rest OF the programme. The address of
welcome was delivered by E. P. Dole, the
attorney.
Perhaps the best feature of the evening
was mock trial by jury, Alex Ranke
and BILLY Drown being arraigned on q
charge of aiding and abetting the recent
prizetight at Slaughter. Fred H. Peter
son presided with owl-like dignity as
judge. James Hamilton Lewis appeared
as prosecuting attorney and Fred Page
Tustin as counsel for the defendants, and
both distinguished themselves by their
remarkable construction of the rules Of
evidence and their wonderful flights of Or
atory in addressing the jury. The pris-
oners were, of course, found guilty and
each sentenced to pay fine of 50 cents.

IT is one of the most hopeful
signs of the present controversy
over the silver question that it is
not partisan question. The men
of both political parties are ranged
on both sides of the controversy,
and when it is settled, no matter
how, it's settlement will not be a
party one. This will leave the
matter so far outside of party adj
justment that it will not need to
be re-arranged when the change of
government is made to the Repub-
licans, as it will be in the next
national contest.

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

The document presented by May
or Paschal at the last session Of the
city council is a document that it
will pay the citizens to study. 1t
is especially deserving of comment
in the suggestions that it makes as
to the equalization of assessments,
so that these shall fall more equit-
ably on all properties and not with
unequal weight upon real estate
and the small properties as at
present. In directing the attention
of council to the unequal eXpendi-
ture of street funds, the mayor has
noted prolific cause of dissatis-
faction and it would be wise for
the council to heed his suggestions
in this matter and give no cause of
future complaint on account Of such
discrimination. The revenues of the
city for the year just closed amount
ed to $36S, 1885. This is little in
excess of $4,000 per month, and
basing the returns for this year
upon the receipts of last will
leave the city $4,000 per month
after the bi-monthly payment of
$4,000, voted last week, is made.
The startling fact, that $324,SS0
uncollected taxes stand upon the
collectors books since the close of
the fiscal year 1S9O-lS91, is enough
to set the council earnestly at
work to devise the best means
of preventing this enormous loss.
Here is a sum almost equiva-
lent to one years revenue lost
to the city in two years, by
the neglect of the city to en-
force the collection of its reven-
ues. This is in effect to add 40
per cent to the taxes of those
who meet the collector promptly
and is an injustice that should not
be imposed upon them. The refer
ence to the need of economy in city
expenditures is timely, and the
suggestion that no appropriations
be made without careful considera-
tions of the city's obligations and
her ability to pay should be heed
ed. 1t is in the line of just what
the LIGHT has been urging on this
point for some weeks past. An
other important topic dwelt upon
is the health of the city and the
present mortality lists. While il
is known to be fact that there is
wide margin between the appar
ent and the real death rate, it i!
not to be denied that the rea
death rate is larger than is OF al
necessary, under the magnificent
clamatic conditions enjoyed here
These benefits will be reaped
only when the city is properl,
