The Chicago Record calls attention to a
model strike. The men were being paid
$1.25 a day, but thought they should have
an increase to $1.50. One morning they met,
made their demand and went home to wait.
During the day the company considered
the matter and not only granted the in
crease but urged the men to be on hand
the next morning. This was in a quarry
for which the improved times had fur
nished an abundance of orders. If the
strike had taken place a year.ago, when
orders were few, the men would not have
gone back with increased wages.

GREAT BRITAIN IN INDIA.

1t looks now as if. with traditional Brit
ish luck, the rebellion in India would be
suppressed without much difficulty, though
it looked very threatening at the beginning.
Indeed. a rebellion in India is always
threatening, and if the time ever comes
that the natives, conscious of their vast
numerical superiority, become thoroughly
aroused and united in a common cause they
may drive the British out. Every rebellion
is liable to prove the lucky one for the ma
tives, and the British must know better
than anybody else that only eternal vigil
lance can enable them to maintain their
footing there.
From whatever point of view 1t is re-
garded, the British empire in India fur
nishes one of the most remarkable passages
in history. Gibbon estimated the nations
and races which obeyed imperial Rome at
the height Of her power at 12O, 900, 900. The
population of British India is more than
double that. The area and population are
almost equal to that of all Europe, less
Russia 1t would be remarkable under any
circumstances that so vast a country and
population should be held in subsection and
governed by another, but the surprise is
greatly increased when one considers the
smallness of the islands that furnish the
governing race, their remoteness from In
dia, and the fact that the governing people
are totally different in race, religion and
every other way from the governed. In re-
spect of religion. no other country contains
so heterogeneous a population as India. In
roundn numbers they are estimated at: Hin
dus, 40, 900, 900; Mohammedans, Al, coo. 900;
Buddhists, 100000; Sikhs, 1900, 900; other
native religions. 5000, 900; Christians, l,OOO,-
900. That the British nave maintained their
rule over this heterogeneous mass of
Asiatics as long and firmly as they have re-
fleets the greatest possible credit on the
skill of their statesmen as well as the
bravery of their soldiers, but it does not
follow that British rule in India will be
permanent. Given a great occasion and a
great leader, with conditions that would
weld the natives together and develop
something like a spirit of patriotism. and
they could easily drive the British out of
India. 1t is not certain thai this would be
the best thing for India or for the cause
of civilization, but it is liable to happen.
