Briefly Analysing the above table it
appears that from only thirty-twO
strikes in 1879, involving some 1000
men, women and children, the record
has grown to a yearly average of l3C
strikes, involving some $1,000 opera.
tives. In other words, the discon.
tent OF the labOring masses Of the
country has increased six-fold during
the past eighteen years.
AS the result OF these various
strikes, Commissioner Wright shows
that a large percentage OF them in re.
cent years have succeeded either in
whole or in part. During the first
three-quartcrS OF the period covered
by the above table, the demands of la.
labor secured but little recognition at
the hands Of capital, and only l6 per
cent OF the strikes occurring between
1879 and 1891 succeeded, 43 per cent
being only partially successful and Al
per cent total failures. Since that
time better results have been achieved
as the following table indicates:

Figures are seldom entertaining, but
there is food for serious thought ia the
bulletin recently sent out by Commits
sioner Carroll d. Wright bearing upon
the labor question in the United
States.
From the official document it ap-
pears that more than 1900 strikes
have occurred in the United States
Since 1879, involving nearly 100000
laborers and costing several millions
of dollars. What is even more sig
niiicant than the above figures, how
ever, is the percentage Of these strikes
which have been successful.
In the following tabnlated state
mCnt Commissioner Wright sets forth
the exact number of strikes which
occurred annually in the United
States since 1879:

''Dear Friend-You can surprise the
dear people of Casper by telling them

Mr.. Preston, director of the mint.
has ran down the origin of the motto,
"lnGod VIZ Trust" TO be found on our
coins. 1t appears the FIRST suggestion
Of such a motto came probably from
W. r. Watkinson, of Ri4cyyille, Pa,
who signed himself minister Of the
Gospel" His letter to Secretary Chase
on the subject was dated November
10, 1861. Whether moved by this let.
ter or not, Secretary Chase write as
follows on November 10th, a week
later, to the director of The mint in
Philadelphia No nation ran be
strong except in the strength Of God
or safe except in His defense. The
trust If our people in God should BE-
declared On our nat ional coins. You
will cause a device to tie prepared
without unnecessary delay with a
motto expressing in the fcwest and
terScst words possible this national
recognition" AS it was found that
the director Of the mint had no au.
lhority over the notices to be placed
on our coins, Congress having. by q
law passed in 1897. provided for them.
he prepared his designs and submitted
them to the Secretary. The notices
suggested were "Our Country, Our
God" and "God Our Trust" In re.
reply the Secretary wrote: II approve
your notices, only suggesting $50
that the first should begin with sour
Cod so as to read Our God and Our
Country and that the motto on the
shield should be changed 50 as to read
instead of God, Our Trust, In God
We Trust" An act was passed April
April %. 1864, changing the compost
tion OF the l-cent piece and aulhorlz'
ing the coinage of the 2-cent piece. IL
provided also that the devices OF the
coins should be fixed by the director
OF the mint with the approval Of the
treasury. In accordance with this pro-
vision the motto SIN God We Trust
was placed on the new bronze 2'cent
piece. BY other acts IL was provldcd
that it should be placed on certain Sill
yer aud goid coins.

Parsons Weekly says: A curious
story is told Of the widow Of 4 cele-
brated manufacturer OF fireworks.
When about TO erect a monument to
her husbands memory, she visited
two or three cemeteries to choose a
style and get some idea for an inscrip-
tion. One epitaph, over the grave Of
an eminent composer, delighted her
beyond measure. IL read thus:
lie has gone to the only place
Where his own works are excelled."
She was so charmed with this senti-
ment that she adopted it. According
~, on her husbands monument the
following inscription appeared in due
time.
Erected by his spouse
to the memory of

He has gone to the only place
Where his own works are excelled.

centuries the Spanish navy has run
no more risks with the devil in the
blocks"
And the Friday sailing supersti-
ti0n-is that still in force?:" was asked,
"Oh, that has largely died out
among American sailors he replied,
but it has just the same binding
force on captains and seamcn OF the
Latin races and Scandinavia. They
are dead set against launching a vessel
or putting TO sea on Friday. no matter
il it brings the first good wind they've
had in Il week. Most any day along
the river front you can hear Of one Of
these foreign shippers standing out
firm for that superstition, and the
ship owners and factors have to
knuckle down to it, for the simple
reason that these chaps have them at
their mercy"

Mason Does Not Wave.

"Long may Mason wave!" exclaims
the Washington Post, referring to the
new senator from Illinois and his red
lemonade speech on the Cuban question.
But the Hon. Billy Mason does not wave.
The Hon. Billy may heave, swell, howl,
snort and swear, but he does not fluctuate.
He may throw language at the birds,
pound the atmosphere, shake the desks
in the senate and perspire like spring
thaw, but he does not wave. He may
amble. he may cut the pigeon wing, he
may roll forward, he may warble on the
dudgeon, as the Hardeman Free Press
would say, he may chew scenery, dash
high, tumble upon himself, collapse from
a. punctured lung, hurl defiance. DEFY
the lightning, point with pride, and call
heaven to witness, but we repeat it that
he does not wave.-New York CONNER
