ADIsAsTROUs sTRIKE

During 1897 the labor disputes in Great
Britain were very disastrous TO the In
dustries OF that country. According TO
the Chicago Record. the loss In wages to
the engineers during their great strike
was Sl2,OO0,OO0. In addition to this the
A~malgamated Society Of Engineers dis
tributed TO its needy members during the
strike nearly 100000. To fix the loss
Of the employers is not 80 easy. In ad-
dition TO the loss must be estimated the
still more important permanent injury 10
bulnesss. While this strike was going
on German aud American manufacturers
have stepped In and In many cases seized
markets which will not easily be taken
away from them. 10 n month ship
ments Of machinery from Great Britain
fell of a million OF dollars from the cor
responding month Of 1896. For the same
time Germany's business showed a large
increase and Germany Is said to keep
what she once gets her hands on. The
loss during the strike extended 10 all
lines OF business. shipbuilding, railroad
business, and retail tradesmen found
their profits materially cut off.
From this strike the experts draw the
conclusion that in international as In
domestic trade the httest will survive
II one nation is involved in prolonged
and ruinOus strikes while others ayoiC
such commissions, the empire OF indus
trial supremacy will follow the latter
II the capital and labor Of a country can
not settle their disputes without indus
trial wal they put themselvea at tn
mercy OF international competitors.

Not only do business conditions improve
steadily, but there are many wise inan-
eiers who believe that the United States
Ia about 10 enter upon a new financial

But the fact Is there Is a plethora OF
money In the United Statesa at the present
times. Banks are reducing the rate OF

One OF the most important Catholic
events that IL 10 take place early la the

Inc installation In the see OF New Or

recently transferred from santa Fe. Mon
siRnor Chapelle has already declared his

IRRIGATION or eOvERNMENT LAND.
One Of the most important questions
with which the federal government Ia
called upon to dealis the proposed irriga-
ton OF government lands. this question
Is beginning to attract much attention In
the country. The idea has been Endorsed
by the National Irrigation congresses,
and Ia favored by a great many promin.
ent men who have investigated the sub
iect.
The area OF available government land
in the United States. which is Of value
without irrigation, has been growing
smaller by.degrees and beautifully less"
until there Is to-day comparatively little
Of such land left. At the same time, the
army Of land hungry citizens Is con
stantly increasing. How strong the de-
mand Is for Uncle Sans farms may be-
seen from the tremendous rush which
takes place whenever a tract Is thrown
open 70 settlement.
Il IL estimated that there are still In
this country 100000 acres Of land
which would be productive II brought
under irrigation. Allowing forty acres
TO each family, which would be an am
pie amount Of irrigated land, this would
provide homes for 100000 families, ant
would do much TO relieve the present
congested condition Of large cities.
There would be no speculative risk OF
the part Of the government In under
taking this great work. The report o
the eleventh census on irrigation show
that for the whole United States, tn
average first cost for bringing water {

. than treble the first cost. The averag

s~51,9o2,S23.
The receipts from customs during jan

compared with January, 1891, OF about
100000. The internal eyenue re-
C ipts also showed a gain Of over $780,
600 for the month. Since July l the gov
eminent has paid out on pension account
nearly ~ts9,OOO,OU0.
The present net gold balance Ia the
treasury is the largest since August,
1880. This accumulation became some
what ~bufdensome, and for some time
past the government has not encouraged
its deposit. Recently, however, treasury
notes and silver have been coming In in
large quantities, and the situation IN
consequences Is relieved. The uncovered
silver in the treasury having served q
purpose in the fall trade, is now being
returned, and during the last few weeks
the supply has increased from $530,0Ot
TO t4,S7l.O 900. During the same time tn,
stock Of treasury notes has increased
from 100000 to 1852, 900. The re
