GERMAN LABOR TROUBLES.

An Alarming Increase In Strikes, and
for Significant Cause.
European papers are devoting space
to the troubles which are continually
agitating labor circles in Germany.
It is freely admitted the incessant agi-
tation Is of national importance. hav-
ing a political bearing or Significance
far beyond that usually attributable to
such phenomena Violence has accom-
panied so many OF the strikes OF the
past few months taat the emperor
himself found It expedient to speak
strongly Of the matter In a public
speech. His words have been con-
strued variously, according to the par
ty color Of those who discuss them.
The social democrats declare that they
foreshadowed strict laws which would
make striking misdemeanor The
suit is that the feeling among the
workmen, already bitter. has been ag-
gravated, and the semiofflcial assur-
ances that the emperors speech was in
tended merely to assert his desire to
protect the laborer in all legitimate
efforts to better his condition do not
seem to have much effect. Statistics
which have been published recently In
the empire show an alarming increase
of strikes. In 1892 there were seven
ty-three strikes, involving 3.022 labor
ers; in 1893 the record was ZIG, with
1886 participants; 1894 showed 1s1.
with 1928 men; in 1895 2o4 strikes
threw 1902 men out Of work: 1875 8OS
men participated in 4S3 strikes in 1890.
The immense number Of strikers in
that year Is due to the great strike OF
the Hamburg longshorsmen and dock
laborers. In 1897 there were 57S
strikes, in which 62.11) persons were
involved. The social democrats have
called attention to the fact that there
Is a steady growth In the number Of
strikes that are instituted, not for In
creased wages OF other similar pur-
poses, but purely for the purpose Of
employers who have pro-
voked the enmity Of the social demo-
Gratis. These "offense" strikes, as the
party calls them, have increased from
20 In 1892 to 800 in 1897.

INDIAN ISLAND.

What do the Indians do for a liv-
irg?" l asked.
Different things. The same sort OF
things that white men do on the main
land and elsewhere, except that we
have no stores or mills on our reserva-
ton. We make baskets and fancy
work in deerskin and cloth. All kinds
of grass weaving is done here, and
some of it is the best Of its kind in the
world. Every summer whole families
go to Bar Harbor and the summer re-
sorts along the Atlantic coast, where
they gather grass, weave their wares,
rent stores and sell their goods. Some
of them have been going to the same
places for fifteen and twenty seasons In
succession. In the fall many of the
men go out into the woods with west
ern sportsmen as guides and cooks. A
few of the men do some hunting on
their own account. but very few"
"As to your government" sug-
gested. - a., 80
we have our own governor anu
acknowledgement who look after our
local matters on the island, such as
