Throughout the recent labor troubles
Seattle has been free from acts OF violenos
or lawlessness and has thus presented
favorable contrast to other cities affected
by tho strike.
This was due In part to the capable man.
ner in which the police force OF the city
discharged It's duties. and no less 20 the
persistent efforts OF the strike leaders to
restrain the hothsads among their fol-
lowers and 10 discourage lawless acts.
II the strike had been conducted every.
where a. IL has in Seattle there would
have been less 20 regret In connection
with H. IL would have failed lust the
same. for it was wrong In principle. bot
the failure would have been less disastrous
to the American Railway Union.
The fosr-lSTKLLIoKSeER has denoune ed
ths strike fTom the beginning because IL
believed il 20 be wholly wrong. Ii
has denounced those prominent In
IL who seemed TO sympathlse with
or apologize for lawIessness or vio-
lsnce or who opposed the perfectly
proper action OF the government looking
to the maintenance Of order and the as
sersion OF its own authority. ItisKlad.

fact that the local strikers have rejected

that a mine of il was ready to explode
under US here. Ii did not explode, how
ever. Col Doane declined the offer of the
leadership made to him and this caused
delay. Meanwhile rumors of the uprising
of a loyal force made the conspirators
pause, and very soon they saw that the
opportunity of success in their plans was
gone.
Other attempts having the same object
in view were made by disloyal parties
afterward, but they were squeiched by the

THE STRIKE OVER.

ftmay now be stated with certainty that
the great Pullman strike is thing of tho
past. The men who went out on the strike
are returning to their old positions wher-
ever 1t Is possible for them 10 do go, aud
the refusal of the American Federation of
Labor TO take part In the struggle makes
ii certain that the American Railway
Union cannot expect help from any quar-
ter. Trains are running almost every
where on regular time and business
throughout the country Is rapidly return
ing 10 its normal condition. The strike,
therefore, Is over, and the strikers have
lost.
Dehs and Sovereign and their lieutenants
are about the only people who do not
acknowledge this to he true. They still
talk Of tying up roads and calling out men.
but even they have altogether lost sight Of
the original cause OF the strike and are
nov avowedly holding out for no other
purpose than TO make terms by which the
strikers will be restored to their old posi-
tions.
The strike was ill-sdvised. uncalled for
and unjust. 1t never had the support Of
the American people and II was doomed to
failure from the day that IL began. While
It should not be expected that the railway
companies will discharge the men who
proved faithful to them. or who came TO
their assistance in the hour of trial. II Is
TO be hoped that they will act with wise
moderation and will an far ss v,a.sfhfa
take back into their employ those of the
strikers who have not been guilty of vio-
lent or criminal acts

For the sins OF the ancient world
Once a furnace of wrath was buiit
Aud into its fame were hurled
The forms OF Mans greed and guilt.
The pride of rank and race,
The wealth that makes many poor,
The priest with double face,
The guards that keep slavery sure.
High lords and ladies' fair
To the scaffold them betooh,
While the gaping crowd did stare
And the crowned monarch shook.
Sad wailing rent the earth
And the heavens were all adame,
And wild were the psngs of birth
For thing that had no name.
But time stilied the furnace blast
And nodded its stuff anew
And soon on the plain stood fAss
A figure OF glorious hue-
A massive and quesnly form
Rose towering TO the skies,
And like sunshine alter storm
Was the light OF her placid eyes.
And heavenly was the sweep
OF the helpful hands she spread,
To bid all the nations reap
Her harvest OF lie aud bread.
But her heart was more golden still,
And her treasures OF wealth untold
She spent with royal will
"Come hither, all We who pine,
Whom the great OF the earth defrauds
Come sit at this feast of mine,
Ny acres are rich and broad.
"And ye who, in prisons locked,
The doom of the just await.
BY me shall the ground be rocked
TIL the fortress yield to Fate.
"By me shall the blast be blown
That shall bid your letters fall;
Your wrongs | will make my own;
BY Him who Is Lord OF all"
These things heard Ia dream,
A. over the rolling sea
The cspflve's moan aud scream
A little bird brought to me.
And as a reed Of Old
0ace bore the Promethean hrsi
Thro' the desert stark and cold,
Thro bog and swamp and mire,
Till the jewellers in the cave
Who shivered and shrank from sight
Did the gracious mission crave,
And worshipped the holy light.
30 a sentence, a song, a prayer
From the heart OF Gods latest born
Shall ride ION the radiant air
Ihro' desert aud realm forlorn,
Shall breathe thro' the prison door,
hope that men never knew,
And on each remoiest shore
Their courage and faith renew.
For thus Is the message framed
Which she sends from her throbbing hear
The conauests by bloodshed claimed
Are the right of heavenly art.
The plowshare shall conquer the sword,
The distsff shall queli the spear,
And the New Worlds Immortal word
Is: Freedom tor far and nearI'

In the mortar of the tower Of Kirkstall

smoking OF some herb or other was in use
in England 400 years before tobacco was

IL may be observed that in some very
ancient coal workings, which were found
under Lambton Castle some thirty years
ago, some of these very old smoking pipes
were found. And a generation or two
