Yes, this year is full of wonders for
me-wonderful was the cold and won

pected, and wonderful the season for re-
cuperating the trees. Was it "God

that poor little Florida has so over

truck that green beans in the month of
April can not be sold at five cents

this mean? Wonderful, passing strange

THE STRIKE IN PHILADELPHIA.

The strike of street-car conductors
and motormen now on in Philadelphia
is likely to be typical of strikes in
general 1t is the old warfare between
great corporations and labor unions
a short time ago all the street railway
companies of Philadelphia were con-
solidated into one company-the Union
Traction Then followed numerous dis
charges of men formerly engaged in
street railway work, and as they all
belonged to the above named associa-
ton they had some ground fer be-
lieving that a war was intended on
that labor association. Committee after
committee from the union sought con-
ferences with the president of the Trac-
ton Company but to no purpose, Mr..
Walsh. the president refused to recog-
nige the representatives Of the union.
Finally F. D. Ma'hon, president of the
national association above named, went
to Philadelphia and took charge of the
affairs of the union, and an ultirnatum
was soon afterwards sent to President
Walsh The refusal of Mr.. Walsh to
recognize the union was followed by
a great public meeting of the employees
where the strike, which begun on the
18th inst, was formally ordered. In
that meeting a delegation of citizens,
headed by Ex-Governor Pattison,
asked for a private conference with
the leaders of the union. The hearing
was granted and when the Ex-Governor

THE GOLD PANIC.

Yesterday morning The Herald COM
mented on the outflow of gold as fol-
lows:
It is not at all impossible to ex-
haust the treasury supply of gold
within a, comparatively short time.
and this would be particularly SO if
the country were to become convinced
that there is serious danger of war
with England. European creditors
would very soon want their balances.
while the people of this country would
be very apt to look upon greenbacks
as they did during the civil war.
Telegraphic advices from Washing
ton say that the news of the big slump
in stocks on both the New York ami
London exchanges, together with the
large withdrawals of gold for export,
created a big sensation among the
treasury officials. Moreover, Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Curtis, who
had been in telephone communication
with New York. FASTENED over to the
White House where the cabinet was
in session and communicated what in
formation he had. The result Of this
was a special message to Congress on
the financial situation

IF DuNRAvEN COMES.

There is much comment in London On
the possible effect Of the Venezuelan
controversy upon the reception of Lord
Dunraven in New York. Friends are
advising him not to come for two rea-
sons: fear of personal i'll treatment for
him. and fear lest his sustained accusa-
tons of fraud against the Defender
syndicate might lead to serious inter
national complications. While these
fears may be honestly entertained. still
they are entirely groundless. Lord
Dunraven will not be given a hearty
welcome. he can scarcely expect that in
view of his conduct and the very surly
and churlish manner in which he made
his charges, but when he lands he will
be given that respectful and civil treat
ment that American gentlemen accord
to all with whom they have business.
no matter how distasteful it may be.
Nor is there any danger of any in
ternational complications arising if he
shall sustain his charges of fraud
against the Defender syndicate. If he
does. he will have done the American
people a signal service, and they will
frankly acknowledge it and thank him
for it. And in that event, upon those
who shall so have disgraced the Ameri-
can people the American people will
visit a contempt and condemnation
from which they will never be able to
rise.
But if Lord Dunraven does not sus-
tain his charges the American people
will expect him to admit as a sports
man and gentleman that they were
groundless and he was wrong. And
we believe the English people will eX-
pect no less
At this particular time his Lordship's
charges will receive an even greater
consideration than they perhaps other
wise would.

WHAT CANADA, COULD DO.

she thinks she could do after that the

humor in that for it shows that Canada

The QUICK sympathies which go to
the making of tender hearts leave their
possessor peculiarly open to the keen
shafts Of sorrow. We are led to the
reflection by the sad news of the sud-
den demise of Mrs Richard Mackin-
tosh, and the sorrow that comes to the
bereaved husband. If any word of
comfort which The Herald could say
would pour a balm upon the deeply
wounded feelings of Richard Mackin-
tosh, or assuage the poignancy of his
grief, how gladly would that word be
spoken. But on such occasions the
voice of friendship seems dumb. 1t
can only stand silently by and with
bowed head repeat in its own heart the
deep and lasting hope of blissful scenes
of happy reunions in that sphere which
knows no death or sorrow or parting.
