IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Many of the JOURNAL subscribers
have requested that their subscription
account be presented each year, as it is
much more convenient to pay one dol
lar than to wait until the amount
reaches a higher figure. We have
decided to notify each subscriber regu-
larly every year and continue doing SO
until accounts are paid. We believe
everyone who really wants the JOUR
NAL is willing to pay for it and that
those who don't pay don't want the
paper. The accounts have been placed
in the hands of John Lally, who
has been connected with the JOURNAL
for several years and is authorized to
make settlement of all accouats. No
person need walt TO consult the editor
as Mr.. Lally's receipt is sufficient, and
his statement of accounts is correct.

Machinery and Labor.

United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation William T. Harris, in Forum,
shows by tables compiled from the CEN
sus statistics of 1870, 1880 and 1890 that
there is decided upward trend of labor
from primitive, ill-paid employment to
skilled service with higher wages. For
example, in each million of our popu-
lation employed in 1870 there were H.
$50 individuals classed as mere black
smiths and 14,744 other workers in iron
and steel. In 1890 the actual number of
blacksmiths decreased to 9o26 in a mill
lion of workers, while the machinists
and other iron and steel artisans had in
creased to 21,S31. That is, in rough fig
ures, in 20 years the blacksmithing trade
has lost 20 per cent, or per cent.
year, of it's laborers, while the iron and
steel trades have gained relatively 80
per cent, or at the rate of 21s per cent,
yearly. Commissioner Harris contends
that the theory that machinery is in
imical to the best interests of labor is
untrue. He claims, on the contrary,
that invention brings comforts and
luxury into the lives of all the people,
and surely, if slowly, promotes the la
borer from digger in the fields earn
ing bare necessities to specialized
worker with higher desires and the abil-
ity to crafty them. For the wise pro-
lection of individual workers the higher
class of occupations labor. The ply
sician for health, the lawyer to conserve
property and personal rights, the Off
cials of the government to forward the
public welfare; artists, musicians, au-
thors and score of esthetic professions
to provide necessary diversion and cul-
ture. These higher occupations are
constantly increasing, and are recruit
ed from the ranks of those crowded out
from former avocations and selected for
their greaterversatility and power. Sum-
ming up the matter, the commissioner
says: "As fast as the supply of the
lower order of wants can be effected by
means of machinery large numbers
press upWdIu lulO GueSe NOCdllOuS WHICH
have to deal with intercommunication
the diffusion of science and the refine
ment of taste. y Suppose that
machinery should SO far conquer
drudgery that one person in each hun
dred by the aid of machinery could fur
nish all the food, clothing and shelter
needed for the other ninety-nine, ev-
cry one of these ninety-nine would find
ample employment in the higher order
of employments which provide means
for luxury, protection and culture. The
discomfort existing at the present time
originates largely in the feeling that
there is too much drudgery and too
little time for science, art, literature
and the contemplation of ideals. In
stead of coming too fast, useful inven-
tons are not coming fast enough"

Not long ago Thomas II. Johnson, of

Not long ago Thomas II. johnson, of
New Albany, an employe of the Hi
nois Central railroad, running on a
freight train between Louisville and
Central City, was killed while leaning
out from the top of car. Before the
widow even knew all the particulars
Eof his death letters were showered in
tnpon her by lawyers along the line of
khe road. In due time the coffin bear
ang the remains of the unfortunate
man reached the mourning widow. 1t
was opened, and to the coat sleeve of
the dead mans grave clothes was
pinned note written by a lawyer
near the scene of the accident offering
to prosecute the road for percentage
of the damages. 1t hard to get ahead
of that for gall and hustle.

Report comes from the northern
mining country that war extras sell
at five dollars each in LAtNson City.
They are over two months old, and the
miners are just beginning to learn of
the battle of Manila on May 1. The
safes of Dawson City are full of gold
dust and it is estimated that $50 o0o,-
600 will be brought down by the trea-
sure ships this season. The fast gun
boat Wheeling has been dispatched to
convoy these vessels from Alaskan wa
ters to Puget sound. Rumors of Span
ish privateers off our northwest coast
have caused CONSERVATION among the
miners up there. The absence of
American warships on our Pacific
coast undoubtedly gave rise to the
rumors, but the war department evil
IDENTIFY placed enough credence in it to
detail the 2o-knot ship Wheeling to
look after that district.

BEFORE SANTIAGO
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.

pretty rapidly, the other gunners of our
battery fired all the way from so to 80
shots each that afternoon. We smashed
the Spanish batteries all to pieces in
about half hour. They never fired a
shell after that-in fact they never put
their heads out OF their trenches. |

after the surrender to look at their bat
teries and 1 was horrifed at the sight
that met my eyes. Their gun carriages
we're all smashed up or turned upside
down. One gun noticed In particular
there were the remains Of two gun
carriages underneath it-all broke up
and they had the gun propped up with
stones, hut 1t was worthless that way.
| They did not think we could shoot so
we'll. Every one of my shots took ef-
feet, except one, which burst in the
muzzle of the gun. But / must say the
Spanards can shoot also. They smashed
one OF their shells right on the muzzle
OF our third gun. The fragments dam
aged the spokes of our wheels but did
| not hurt man. That was on July ID.
They also burst at least 50 or 60 shrap-
nell right over us, II they had got
their shells to burst 25 yards in front
of US they would have killed us by the
score, but they did not have the right
! range which was surprise to us as
they had all the hills measured off
years ago, which is the reason the Gu
bans could never do anything with
them, not knowing the distance from
one hill to the other.
We had lots of trouble cutting barbed
wire fences that were all over the coun-
try stapled to young trees, n lot of our
horses are all cut up by them. We had
to shoot some OF them as we could not
take care of them, and had nothing TO
take care of them with.

since we landed. They were so weak
when we came off the boat they had 10

fever three times; the last time was
on the boat three days out at sea, but

more men killed by fever than by Span

In Brooklyn they play new game
called military eucher. a drum is
used instead of bell as the signal
for beginning and ending rounds. The
tables are called forts, and the IA
vors are colored pennants. Military
euchre is not progressive, the players
changing forts only upon orders from
headquarters. The commanding Off
Ger will, for example, detail couple
from one fort to so to another in an
attempt to win pennant. The other
couple of the quartette remain at
home to defend the home pennant
against another pair of visiting play
ers. This gives fort an opportunity
to win two pennants in one game, If
both couples of the quartette are the
victors. The trophies are hung on q
line stretched above each table. Prizes
are given to the players at victorious
fort. In large company it is not un'
common for fort to win Is to 20 pen
nants.
