In closing an article on the subject of
Eugene Y. Debbs' proposition for the
colonization of some Western State and
the establishment there Of a co-opera-
tive commonwealth by the poor and the
laboring man, the New York Journal
says : 1T is a fact whose si%gnificance is
not to be ignored by the thoughtful
that socialistic ideas are spreading in
this country. The tendency is in a
large part due to a reaction against the
rlle Of the republic by it's money rather
than by it's men-a revolt against gov
eminent by the trusts. Those agere-
cations of wealth and ayidity and
greed, uncontrolled by either conscience
or prudence are sowing perilous seed
in the popular mind"

THE CLOAK MAKERS STRIKE
There Has so far Been no Disorder
 Cause of the Trouble.

New York, Nov 16.-The number of cloak makers on strike was this morninlg increased by 500. The Coat Pressers' Union has a membership cd 1000, the Brotherhood of Tailors B. GOO members and the Pressers' Union a membership of 2,5O0; ilhis, with l. 800 cloak makers now on strike would make a total of Il ,00O men and womem on strike, should they all go out
 Thus far there has been practically no disorder in the strike.
 The trouble between the cloak makers and the contractors was eaus- ed by reduction of wagas made by the contractors in violation of a contract made with their employes a year ago. The strike was considered settled last week, as seven out of the nine con- tractors who made the reduction had agreed to pay the old rate of wages.
 Latter in the week, however, con- tnaIcltOEs and manufacturers anmounc- ed a cut of 10 per cent and the strike assumed its present proportions as a consequence.

THE GARRIsoNs WRECK.
Examination by the State Railroad
 Commissioners,

PoughhcepEie, N. Y, Nov. 16.-The state railroad commissioners. with the aid of experts in railroad building and engineering, today made thor ough technical examination of the sec. tiNon of the New York Central neal Garrisons where the sta5si eXpres: was wrecked and twenty-one persons killed on Sunday morning, October 24 The theory that the train was wrecket through the embanEment being blown out by dynamite has bcen abandoned although lthe railroad company fou some ground for suspicion that such was the case, and the opinion frs advanced that the cause of the dis aster was a 'fwashout," resulting from unusually high tides and the deer water in which the embanAment was built, has been accepted.
 The purpose of the investi gation by the commissioners is as to what de gree the railroad company was re sponsible for the 'Awashout" and tc formulate recommendations for tht guidance of the company in ulebuild- ing that section of tlhe road. Ther, were a number of experts represent ing the state, and the railroad had it! entire engineering force on hand. Tht latter took no part in the investigation except to afford the commissioners al the facilities f[hey required in theil work. The commissioners and theil expert assistants remained all day making surveys and measurements , A number of witnesses will be exam imed latter at Albany.

THE FRIENDSHIP OF SPAIN.

Premier Sagasta's amcable mes sage may serve to mitigate the sswer- ity of tfhe stock market war scare; but that sensation has already .mn its course and accomplished the com- mercial ends for which it was pro- duced, and is about ito die out of in anition. So far as the effect upon popular sentiment tn tha United States is concerned, the friendly ex- pressions of the head of the Spanish government will be equally ineffect- i've. America, mo mo.e than Spain, wants to go to war. Aside from a few members of t[he Unified States senate who talk war for politics, there are very few indeed in this country who fsel that way. Net only in tihe- ory but in practice, so far as formal international relations are concerned, the United States and Spain are very good friends and hope to remain SO. But if this friendship is to be maintained, something more fhan yer bal expressions of amity will be needed. Cuba is a fostering sore d;- Gectly under the eyes of the Ameri- cam people; it must be healed. Our trade, our commerce. lthe property and interests of American citizens, suffer detriment by the continuance of a state of affairs in that island fer which Spain is responsible; and this must be changed
 1 GiNte justice Ito the Cubans, res-ore prosperity to that island, and the re- sponse of the American people to 1 Senor Sagasta's most amicable sem- timenIts'' will be hearty enough.

THE CASE OF MRS. MAVERICK.

The case of Mrs. Maybrick, the un- fortunate American woman who for eight years has been confined in Woking prison, England, for the al legged murder of her husband, appears to have gotten into British poliitfcs, hope for her release.
 Extraordinary efforts have been made by people of nearly all lands to have her semltance of life imprison- menlt canceled, but up to the present her jailers have been deaf to all ap- peals. Queen Victoria has not mani tested even spasm of sympathy, and, in spite of the general conviction that the woman is innocent. of the crime for which she is suffering, she is still a convict.
 Mrs. Maybrick was originally con- demned to death, but her sentence was commuted for no either reason than that the authorities jim pressed by public sentiment, aroused by the palpably unfair rulings of the trial judge, and the evidence showing tihaI. the dead man had been a confirmed user of arse1ic-became convinced that she did not deserve the death penalty and that there was at least a reasonable element Of doubt as to her guilt British unwiilingness ito con- fess that British justice can mIscauy seems to be more responsible than anything else for the continued de- temtion of this unfortunate prisoner. There was no question that her nus band had for years bean addicted to the eating of arsenic, consequently 1t was only natural that the autopsy disclosed the presenca of the poison. Besides, her trial was almost a legal farces the presiding judge being not only prejudlced and unfair, but out rageously bitter aJnd severe toward her in his charge ito the jury. In- deed, there is reason to believe that the man was not in his right mind at the: time, for he died soon after wards i'm a lumatic asylum. Under all the circumstances of the case it seems strange that the English authorities have held out against the appeals for justice made i'm behalf of Mrs. May brick. One petition alonss addressed to the queen, bore the signature of 100000 women, but it failed ito move her majesty to pity. Even the Limited States ambassador has personally but vainly interceded for the unhappy prisoner, but, now that her case has lieved and hoped thht expediemcy will soon effect what justice and human iEy have heretofore failed to bring about.
