DEes PLEADS FOR STRIKERS

Two Addresses In Denver in Aid Of
the Leadville Men.
Eugene V. Debs, the we'll known labor
leader, made two addresses in Denver on
miners. He spoke in the morning at
the Broadway Temple, and in the after
noon before the trades assembly. His adj
dress before the trades assembly was one
OF socialistic character. He urged all
friends of union labor to support tue Lead
vile strike. He denied that union labor
was in favor Of fighting, for, he said, men
who will not vote right cannot be de-
pepended upon to fight right. He predicted
that in war between capital and labor,
plenty of laboring men could be hired for
Is cents day to shoot their fellows.

THE LOUNGER.

The year ended with several sensations
in European diplomatic circles. The first
and most important was that Sir Philip
Currie, British ambassador to the porte,
sent note to his government, which in
formed it that Russian engineers We're
building forts at the very mouth OF the
DartianeIles that one Of these works was
already completed, and 1O-inch krupp
rifles were mounted in the emplacements,
and that three similar works were building.
AS the sultan has German and native en-
gineers IN his service, England, not I'M
naturally, wishes to know why Russian
officers are doing this work, and why guns
from the Imperial Arsenal, at st. Peters
burg, are being mounted in these en-
placements, and last and most important of
all, Lord Salisbury wants to know why this
work has been kept secret from all the
ambassadors of the Signatory powers to
the Berlin treaty.
1t may seem u small matter to Ameri-
cans, but there is in this incident the germ
Of a great European row. In truth, Russia
is now the predominant power OF the world.
See how Prince Lobanoff, late imperial
minister Of foreign affairs, checked Japan

sumed a protect crate over China. He
borrowed S1OO 900 900 at ger cent to
help China pa V the firstindemniJy due Japan
and reloaned tito China at 8 per cent, thus
making 1 per cent clear for Russia III re-
turn for this Russia has obtained from
China enormous concessions. The only one
that Europe knows of certainly is the gift
OF Port Arthur for a naval station, which
practically allows Russia to control the
Lao-Ting or Regent sword Peninsula and
to build railway through Manchuria to
the sea- Then in Europe she seems to have
a grin on what has been the desire of

Ger John p Donahoe, of Wilmington,

1t is interesting to observe in retrospect

Britains Controlling Force.

The average self satisfaction with which
regard itself, its government and everything
that is its own, appears to have cXpe-
rienced a change. The annual reviews of
the great London dailics are full of discon-
tent with the developments OF the year in
connection with the foreign policy of the
government. There is a strong express
Monroe doctrine position of the United
States Us to tie Venezuelan question was
a good thing at last il would have been
equally a good thing TO accept the same
solution at first, and thus avoid a serious
menace to the relations Of the two coun-
tries, and the modification of a back
down later. The history OF the South
African troubles and of the affrout which
the government received in that connec-
ton from the German emperor, are re-
viewed with like dissatisfaction.
1t is probable that the press of Great
Britain is hardly yet awake to the fact
that great revolution has occurred among
! the forces and influences debating the
| imperial policy OF the nation. The moving
| power is no longer that OF the proud landed
aristocracy, with its fierce British pride
that would brook no insult to the flag
| or encroachment upon territory interests
or anything else belonging TO or claimed
! by John Bull, no matter what the conse-
quences. The light OF that old ariStocracy
has been qucnchcd in the blaze OF the
new power OF money, and that power is
prudent before it is any other thing. The
diplomacy OF the day originates iii Lomba rd
street rather than at the foreign office,
| and the interests Of the great financial
| houses must be consulted before other con-
| sideratiOns can have weight. Great Britain
| is not unique in this regard; the money
| power, and, to some extent, the same one,
| is master here as well.

Truck and Treasure.

Some time ago, in the course OF an ad-
dress before the Virginia Farmers Insti-
tute, Dr. Dabney, Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, called attention TO the re-
called the trucking industry. Among
other things, he stated that, probably no
single industry has brought SO much money
into the South within the last thirty years,
as this one. The annual crops of garden
vegetables, such as early potatoes, beans,
cabbages, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce,
strawberries, waternclons, etc, have been
worth great deal more to the South in
actual money than has the lumber tobacco,
the mineral products, or any other OF the
great staple products which are commonly
supposed to bring revenue to the country"
OF all the trucking interest OF the United
States, about 60 per cent is on the At
lantic coast, and half of that in the
Southern States, whose products in this
line amount to $40, 900, 900 annually, or
about As per cent of the national totals.
In the tidewater region OF Virginia alone,
the industry yields So 100000 annually,
and gives employment to nearly 10000
men, women, and children. Instances are
known where $4,000 worth of products
have been sold from one acre in single
year. Newbern, Charleston, Savannah, and
Mobile are all shipping centers for the
interest, which finds It's principal market
in the great cities OF the North. over
production has not yet afflicted this class
of cultivators, and, among the chances
offered to farming people in regions Of
inhospitable climate and hard conditions.
the advantages and possibilities of this
rich and fertile coast region, from Nor
folk, Va, all along the Atlantic shores, to
Louisiana, are worthy of investigation.
