TEE LUCK OF DEoTI\v.

Grover Cleveland has always consid-
cred himself to be a man of destiny.
There is no denying his luck. He pulled
down the flag at Honolulu on his own
motion, but an unexpected circumstance
compelled him to redeem himself bv
running i; up TO the pinnacle of the liber-
ty pole at Chicago. Everybody forgot
Hawaii in their piaudits for Grover in
setting down on Altgeld and squelching
the MODS Of alien anarchists vino We're
burning and destroying property in the
city by the lake. But that loyal act was
not without It's unpopular side, for it
wasn't Republicans who did the burning
and shooting and other unlawful acts:
they were men who had voted for Cleve-
land and a change. Even IN this uilema
Cieveland's good luck did not de-
sert him. A committee from these
clements waited on his e-celleHcv
and begged for a commission OF arbitra-
ton. Grover Craciously granted their
prayer and by so doing reinstated HIM
self with the element he had but lust
vigorously punished. There Is nothing
toar0itrate in this fight except the Pull
man difficulty, and there nothing IS left
to fix up. The men quit work and the
company closed the shops. There is no
power that can force the company to
open shops which they declare was los
ing money as shown by their own books.
There Is no arbitration poss. bile between
the railroads and the strikers for the
strikers declared on going out that there
WAS no cause for difference or misunder-
standing 50 far as the railroads and
their employees were concerned. How
ever Grover is favorable 10 the prayer for
arbitration and that being all that is
asked Grover comes out with flying

1t is also of interest in the same con-
nectioE to know that the amount of

of the total stock outstanding. The
total of dividends paid Was $780,
