The year 1897 went on record as one
of the most disastrous in the recent
annals Of British industry. This fact
is due chiefly to the lockout OF the en-
gineers and the accompanying disturb
ances of other branches of industry.
There were not as many strikes ana
lockouts as in the preceding year, but
the number of men concerned was far
greater and the net result upon trade
far more disastrous. There were in all
about $50 disputes, affecting more than
100000 workmen. AS nearly as can
now be reckoned, some 100000 days
labor was lost. That means over $4,000
wears of individual idleness, or years
idleness of more than 80, 600 men. AS
the majority of these men are skilled
mechanics, receiving from to 8 sh1l-
lings day when at work, the total loss
to them in wages was probably little
short of $12,OOO,OOO. To this we must
add at least 100000 more, paid out
by the Amalgamated Society of Engi-
neers and other trades unions for sup
port of men on strike or locked out. A
total loss to workingmen of $15,OOO,OOO
is therefore to be set down as one result
of the years disputes. That would be
bad enough if it were all. But it is not.
The engineering troubles caused con-
siderable cutting down of railway
freight traffic. The shipbuilding indus
try was almost paralyzed. Shopkeep-
ers and tradesmen Of all kinds in the
affected districts found their businesses
greatly injured. And as for foreign
trade, the official reports tell the story
of it's disaster. In the one month of
November, according to Board of Trade
reports, shipments of machinery show
ed a falling off of more than 81, 900, 600
from the same month in the preceding
year. At the same time there was a
great expansion Of trade on the part Of
Great Britain's chief rival, Germany,
the increase in German exports of ma
chinery amounting in the first nine
months of the year to $2,375,0O0. The
simple explanation is that British man.
ufacturers were unable to fill orders,
and so the orders went to Germany.
And it may be added, as British trades
men have found, that business once lost
to Germany is never regained. The
most competent authorities estimate
the direct loss to British industry and
trade, to workingmen and employers
together. of the labor troubles of 1897,
at not less than $75,OOO,O00. That does
not include the future losses resulting
from the permanent diversion of trade
to Germany. AS an offset workingmen
are said to have gained some $500
in increased wages. No other gain to
either capital or labor is recorded. That
is to say, for every dollar gained hun
dred dollars has been lost.

top smartly with a silk handkerchief
to generate the electricity. Then he
makes peculiar passes over it, and
finally, stepping backward, he COM
mands it to follow him. Needless to
say, it obeys him, walking faster or
slower, according to his demand. If
this is practiced upon dark floor with
{. slender black silk thread the decep-
ton is perfect.

Two young Americans, connected
with the legation Of the United States
at London, have been granted release
from punishment for infraction OF the
ordinances Of the city on plea OF
diplomatic privilege" The British
government, with some hesitation, &C
cepted the plea, thereby placing the
United States under obligation to con-
done the violation of ordinances thai
any British attache may see fit to in
dulge in while in this country. The
two young men were Spencer Eddy
secretary to John Hay, the American
Ambassador, and J. E. White, son OF
Secretary White, of the embassy. The
affair in which they were implicated
was a trifing one. The penalty at the
highest would not have exceeded $40
The offense committed was riding bi
cycles on the sidewalk. Americans IN
London think the offenders should
have paid their fines and not brought
the country into the case by pleading
diplomatic privilege" We do not ex
pect the attaches of American lega'
tons to violate the laws of the coun-
try they happen to live in and then
escape punishment by pleas of prlVl-
lege of that sort.

A distinguished pastorate was ter
minated by the resignation of Rev. Dr.
John Hall, of the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain Church, of New York. Thirty
years of DR.. Halls almost half-century
of preaching have been given to that
church. The result has been testl-
monial to the fact that religious success
can be accomplished without sensation
alism. DR.. Hall has been conservative
for even the Presbyterian church, IN
his adhesion to what is commonly
termed orthodoxy. But he was also
orthodox in his warmth of heart ana
in the sound sense of his methods ana
the diligence of his labors. AS a re-
suit, the church of which he has been
the pastor has been often styled the
foremost Presbyterian congregation IN
America, for it's influence and bench
cence. DR.. Hall shows his devotion to
the church by voluntarily suggesting
that the time has come when for his ad-
vancing years should be substituted
youthful energy. This may mean also
that the new voice will be for new
time, for each generation challenges
the theology of it's predecessor, though
it leaves unchallenged such personal
religion as that of DR.. John Hall.
