BOSSISM.

Except the one thing, "trusts, -
which every excited newspaper man
and political speaker feels at liberty
to condemn and swear about, nothing
in political lines is receiving more
condemnation at present than the po-
htical sboss" He is hated on one
side for all that he does do and on both
sides for what he does not do. Among
the names most frequent in the scan
dial catalogue at this time are Platt,
Crocker, Quay, Hill, Williams, Cor
man and Hanna These fellows are
all in or have been in politics, winning
and losing as the tide has run. They
are all rascals-as sometimes estimat-
ed-but are men of acknowledged
ability in these lines. They are handy,
one side, to help run things better
than they will run themselves, or
than the average managers can direct
them. Bad as it is to be controlled
by hard and dishonorable bosses, it
may be harder to suffer defeat and be
compelled to live under opposite party
rule, that party itself under a boss
more Objectionable, possibly, than
your own. So when the contest is
sharp and the odds seem adverse, it
is wise if not pIeasureable to let some
one take the helm of affairs and win,
when battle might be lost without
boss, major general or somebody to
push the forces on to victory. Hence
bosses at times become a necessity,
and it is foolish to scold and grow red
in the face because there are some in
each party who must at times control
it if it wins. The men we name and
many of their sort are not adorned
with the wings of angels, but they are
not always as despicable as some
cheap pen driver or crazy stumper
would make them. Let somebody,
just now when they are being SO sound
ly berated, do them some little justice.
They belong to that class of things
very unnecessary and odious when
you do not need them, but very i'm
portant when they are needed.

IMMENSE COMMERCE OF THE
LAKES,

There are 10000 vessels, including
$500 steamers and 1880 sailing craft
of all classes, under the American
flag. In 10 years the lake commerce
of the city of Buffalo has increased
from $4,000, 900 to 1875, 200, 900 tons; and
that of Detroit from 100, 600, 900 to 49,
OoO,oOo tons. The shipping business
of the Michigan peninsula has increas-
ed from 100000, to OO,OOO,0 900 tons
in the same period. Chicago's busi-
ness. has fallen off somewhat, the gain
being made up in Duluth and Milwau-
kee. The lake business of Milwaukee
and Duluth ten years ago was O,OOO,-
600 tons; last year it was O,OOO, 900.
In the year 1887 the tonnage of the
port of Clevelond was 225, ,OOO, 900; last
year it was 3OO,OOO,Ooo. The COM
merce of the great northern lakes and
the profits arising from the business
are increasing year by year.

THE STRIKE.

The strike of the cotton mill opera
tives is on, and New England faces a
grave Industrial crisis. About $4,000
operatives are affected by the recent
wage reductions. In three cities,
strikes have been begun-Lewiston
and Biddeford in Maine, and New
Bedford in Massachusetts. Not more
than four thousand operatives will be
concerned in the strikes in the Maine
cities, but in New Bedford the num-
ber is over 5000. The operatives in
all the New England cotton mills that
continue at work will contribute to
the support of the New Bedford strik-
ers. There are no less than twenty
two mills in New Bedford in which
work is stopped by the great strike.
ahead, and nearly all are making
money. One corporation, the Acush-
net, steadily makes 16 per cent year
for it's stockholders. It is not shown
why corporation under such circum
stances needs to reduce the wages of
it's working people. Left to them
selves, the New Bedford mill owners
would probably not have reduced
wages at this time. They have SIM
ply joined all the other cotton manu-
facturers of New England in a genera
cutdown,
The fight between the mills and the
operatives promises to be prolonged.
Each side is determined and unyield-
ing. The men seem to be we'll forti-
fed with funds. According to all ac
counts it would seem as if the mill
managements had been compelled by
the depressed condition of the cotton
goods industry to reduce wages
shade more than 10 per cent on the
average. This reduction has aroused
resentment, and hence the strike. In
such an Industrial contest, which
promises to continue for considera-
BILE period, there are always possibili-
ties of disorder, but judging by the
past, the usual good order character
istic of such contests in New England,
will be maintained NeUs.

have decided to have the fficial tour
of the Hawaiian president begin at
Chicago, and at that point in his over
land tour he will be met by the repre-
sentatives of the President and of the
United States Government. This. is
brought about by the fact that therep-
resentatives would not have time to
reach San Francisco before the de-
parture of President Dole for the
East. The three representatives of
the President and the Government
will go to Chicago as soon as they re-
ceive notice of the probable arrival
there of President Dole, and escort
him to Washington. When he arrives
here he will be quartered at the Ar
lington, where Ii Hung Chang, Prin-
cess Eulalia and other national guests
have been entertained, and his COM
fort will be closely looked after
by the Government representatives
1t is expected that his stay will not
be long, and while the exact nature
of the powers reposed by the Ha-
waiian Government in President Dole
is not known at the State Depart
ment, there is reason to believe that
he may be. authorized to act for his
Government in the matter of accept
ing any amendment that may be
made in the annexation treaty, and
thus save time in the conclusion of
the negotiations.

general attention again before many

that distracted locality which will
bring the Turkish question into re-

The disease sweeping off thousands
of Cubans is we'll named 'smisery'' by
the natives. 1t is caused by lack of
food, shelter, medicine and all ordi-
nary household comforts. In the
Irish famines great number perish
ed from disease called "road fever"
The starving victims wandered off
aimlessly along the roads until they
sank under their utter wretchedness
and died beside the highway. The
malady was Identical with the s'mis-
ery' of the Cubans, though less acute,
for military inhumanity was not add
ed to the suffering. Secretary Sher-
man has again called attention to the
cry of aff1iction and to the opportu-
nifty to forward supplies from this
country. the appeal will meet with a
prompt and earnest response.
