The great waste and damage to a
country's industries involved IN a
great strike is we'll shown by some
lately published statistics OF the
losses caused by the strike OF the
Welsh miners, which ended recently,
states Bradstreet's. This cost is
placed at $50, ,OO0,0 900, or 1900, 600
weekly during the period the strike
lasted. If the damage were confined
to the mining industry itself this
would be bad enough, but the inter
dependence of modern trade and COM
mercial life made it necessary that a
wide circle of industrial workers and
enterprises should drink from the
same cup. For instance, it is 'esti-
mated that the loss in coal frelghts
alone was fully $7,000,0O0, while the
losses of the railroads are placed at
fully 50, 100000. That the wages OF
sailors, the amounts paid for dock
dues and ether fairly measurable items
were heavily reduced goes almost
without saying. The indirect loss,
some of which may never be regalned,
caused by the diversion of the coal
trade to other countries is, of course.
incalculable, but the decided boom
given to American export trade in coal
to British colonial ports is of too
close date to be forgotten. 1t has
even been stated--though, it is
claimed, without adequate foundation
that the annual autumn maneuvers
Of the British Channel fleet were post
poned because of the strike.

Mr.. Kerr, the Secretary of the
United States Golf Association, esti-
mates that there is $4,000, 600 now
invested in golf in this country, and
that the expenditure this year for that
sport will not be less than SO, 900, 900
The money is well spent, i'll that it
makes this country pleasanter for per-
sons who are bound to have some sort
of sport, and who will seek it abroad
if they cannot find it at home. BIZ
cycles, trolley cars and golf have
worked miracles in the direction of
mitigating the monotony of American
life, especially of country or suburban
life, and making it attractive to per
sons who crave reasonable variety in
their existences. They are all cheap,
and not one of them is nasty. They
are all still extending, and it is an
adventurous prophet who would at
tempt to predict the limits of their
spread. With iron cheap, and grow
ing constantly cheaper, Life predicts
that there must be a continuous
stretching out of trolley rails along the
country roads.

The four monitors for which con-
tracts have been awarded by the Navy
Department will be in effect small
floating batteries, designed TO stick
close to our coastwise harbors. They
will be too small-only 225 feet long
to carry sufficient coal for a sea voy
age, nor is it designed that they
should at any time take the places of
any of our warships i'll offensive oper-
ations at distance from home ports.
Vessels of the monitor class are be-
lieved by naval experts to be practi-
cally impregnable to hostile attack, ex-
cept by torpedo boats. while they are
capable of meeting in a sea fight any
thing afoat in the shape of battle
ship, no matter how large or how
heavily armed. AS movable auxiliar-
les to our elaborate but widely scat
tered coast defences the new monitors
would be of great value should our
coast line ever be menaced by hos
tile squadron.

There is something grotesquely curl
ous in the news that Sir Herbert Kitch-
ener began recruiting from the captive
Dervishes for his army the day after
the capture of Omdurman. Ofcourse,
the curiosity lies in the nature of the
Dervishes and the fact that such u
thing is possible. The fact is that
many of them are mere soldiers OF for
tune, who fought for the Khalifa sim
ply for hope of plurder, and are rs
willing to fight for the Queen and the
kbedive as for anybody else. But the
incident is most impressive as show
ing Great Britain's policy OF making
every country which she controls do
its own fighting. England furnishes
the generals, but she enlists the Egyp-
tians in Egypt, the Soudanese in the
Soudan and the Sikhs and Goorkhas in
India, and adds a few regiments of
British troops, just enough to drill and
encourage them.

The Action Must Stand.

New York Oct. 25.-The majority Of
the railroad officials are unwilling to
talk for publication about the decision
by the supreme court of the United
States against the legality Of the Joint
Traffic association, saying that they
could not discuss the matter with un-
derstanding of it's bearings until they
had an opportunity to read the text Of
the supreme courts opinion. 1t is gem
orally thought, however that the dis
solution of all the railway associations
of the country is inevitable. Some men
are inclined to think it will be absolutely
necessary for the welfare of the reads
for congress to enact new legislation.

Drake. in charge of the general hospital
here. and who was in command of the
hospital OF the first division of the Third
corps at Chickamauga, told the war in
Vestigators yesterday of various i'm
prOVements he had found it necessary to
make in the hospital at ChiCkamauga.
"There was" he said such a flood of
disease that ii was almost impossible to
meet the demand for tentage and quite
out of the question to anticipate it," As
fast as he would pitch new tents they
would be filled up. The medical supplies
had been ample from the beginning, but
the hospital corps had proved inefficient
as nurses. They We're, as class, he
said, "the very worst material that could
have been found out of which to make
nurses" However he thought there
had been no more serious results than
discomfort to patients caused by the in
efficiency of nurses. He was positive
:hat there had been no deaths from starry
alton or deprivation. Ten percent of the
typhoid cases of the hospital had died
and, compared with hospitals generally,
the percentage was phenomenally low.
H was of the opinion that patients in
this hospital received better attention
than the average man in this country re-
CeiVeS at home.

nevertheless on account of reports that

stead of coming out on strife.
