MAYOR HolTT's VIEWS.

Much curiosity has been manifested
since the opening of the strike to know
the feeling of the mayor in the matter,
and the question of his candidacy for
reelection has also been the subject
of much speculation. To The Spy man
Mayor Hoitt consented to express his
views on the situation
He said mo one regrets this trouble
more than l. but l do not look for any
serious trouble 1 have more faith in
our people than to expect anything of
that sort. When the trouble first came
UP, I was urged to put on extra police,
but refused to do so. 1t seems to me
that there should be some common
ground upon which the manufacturers
and employees could meet and com
promise matters, but 1t is, of course, a
hard problem
1.-THE manufacturers object to the
agents and the operatives to the pro-
posed committee system. can see
where trouble might arise through the
settlement of disputed points by com
rnittees I can also see where it is pos
sible for trouble to arise the other way
1t is a hard question, but | look Tor It's
speedy solution. We don't want any
free shops here and outside labor
brought in
When asked what he thought of the
new element in the shape of the citizen
workingmens party, which has entered
into the settlement Of the problem.
Mayor Hoitt said We'll, don't know
how much it will amount to; personally,
don't care, for l shall not be a can
didate for denomination. My business
demands so much of my attention, that
cannot afford to neglect it. / have

cause of the war. but | had hoped to

million dollars annually, supported by

founder of the national Organization,
quoted the motto of the union, name
ly, The city can and must be redeemed
to Jesus Christ" and expressed his sin
cere faith in the accomplishment Of this
object. This society, he said, was but
the exponent of a mighty movement of
various societies in different denomina-
tons, all of whom had come TO realize
the urgent necessity OF regenerating
the cities, and all of whom are now
realizing that division of this work
only means defeat
Rev. A. w. Byert, superintendent of
the Brooklyn union, and Rev. DR.

Washington, Nov 1.-THE Usage In

pie per capita on earth. They are aris-

cording to Agent Pollock's annual re-
port to the interior department. They
own over 500 acres of land for each
man, woman and child. each receiving
an annuity Of over $500 in cash. AS an
illustration. if an Indian and his wife
have eight children, the annual cash
income of the family is over $4,000.
Rather leading his white brother in
this respect, he prefers the convenient
ces, luxuries and designations Of viii

loves to sing and dance and rest, and
he has plenty Of money to support his
family IN idleness.
Indian Agent Stephens Of the Crow
Creeks, reports that a serious null
sance and detrimeut to progress, to
correct which agents would have to CO.
operate, is inter-tribal visiting demon
alizing to the Indians, and encourag
ing idleness and nomadic habits, aban-
donment of the crops, reckless distri-
button of property as presents, and me-
elect of stock. A condition to minimize
this mischief is urged.
