Boston Transcript: The impression
that strikes are necessary to secure any
increase of wages has become so gener-
al that the broad economic principles
underlying the wage question are liable
to be forgotten. The price of any ar
tlcle is the meeting point OF buyer and
seller. Wheat goes up when its con-
sumers increase in number. and in APP
petite faster than it's producers in
crease their acreage. Wages in the
different circles OF labor follow the
same law. Wherever wages are high
est labor organizations are usually the
strongest. but the strength of the Or
ganization is due to the prevailing con-
dltIons that make labor well paid rath-
err than are those conditions due to the
organization.
An abundance of capital seeking In
vestment at a low rate Of interest
stimulates the establishment of new
Industries. and increases the compete
ton OF employers for labor. This is the
real way that wages are raised, and
even the best work of the labor organ
lzdtIons is only Incidental to this. They
can sometimes. by watching Industrial
conditions carefully, be ready to take
advantage Of upward movements, and
so bring about an increase in wages
quicker than II the thing were, left to
the working out Of economic law. The
labor union shakes the thermometer
and the mercury which had become OBJ
structed rises to the place which the
outside atmosphere dictates. Too much
emphasis is placed upon the efficiency
of even successful strikes and boycotts.
They are only incidents.

Near Canton, Ohio : Woman Kills
Husband. Child and Herself
CANTON, o.. August IA terrible
tragedy occurred three miles east of
this city last night, resulting in the
death Of Edward Eckinger. his wife, and
their three-year-old daughter. Neigh
bors to-day discovered the dead bodies
of the three lying upon the bed in the
Ecldnger home.
Mrs. Eckinger evidently FIRST shot
her husband and daughter with a shot
gun and then tried to commit suicide
by gashing the veins in her wrist with
a knife. The latter apparently proved
too slow or else too painful, for the
woman put a third charge In the gun
and sent It through her heart.
Eekinger was twenty-five years Of
age and a farm laborer. Lately he has
been drinking quite heavily and fire.
quent quarrels took place between him
and his wife. The couple had agreed to
separate. commencing to-day. Mrs.
Ecldnger was twenty-three years old.

this morning. Mr.. Perot tells n repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press that
the counsel for Mrs. william Y. Perot,
charged with abducting her daughter.
Gladys. from Baltimore. Nd. had pro-
posed to him to consent to the with

In which case the mother would hand
over Gladys to Mr.. Perot. and It was to
discuss the possibility of such an arr
rangement that he visited Mr.. choate.
as the proposal is entirely satisfactory
TO Mr.. Perot. But the ambassador said
he had applied for Mrs. Perots extradi-
ton in accordance with orders from
Washington. and he had no power to
withdraw the proceedings without In
structlon, as the extradition proceed
ings were Instituted with the view Of
Furnishing Mrs Perot for an illegal act.
Mr.. Perot added that the writ of hab-

LONDON. August s.-Replyins to
various questions in the house of COM
mons to-day. Joseph Chamberlain. sec
rstary Of the state Tor the colonies. said
NO omciai confirmation had been re-

forms win have on the outlanders.
Several regiments, he added, were
about 70 be dispatched to South Africa
for the defense OF Natal. in response to
the request of the Natal government
and preparation was being made for all
contingencies.
Later, replying to Mr.. T. P. 0'can-
nor, Irish nationalist, member for the
Scotland division Of Liverpool. Mr..
Chamberlain deprecated resumption
Of the debate ON the Transvaal situa-
tlon, which he pointed out while ser
ious, stilI remains doubtful,
The colonial secretary added that he
sincerely hoped that the report saying
the inquiry proposal had been rejected
was untrue. While he regretted the
necessity Of answering. Blr, o'connor, it
would DO a fatal mistake to allow the
lattePs views, that war was entire
" needless and that the government
ought to express Willingness to walt,

Of the grievances Of which they COM
plain to be considered.
He added: The representative opIn-
Ions Of even the small minority in the
house Of commons or anything but the
most insignificant minority in the
United Kingdom. on the governments
policy, have been clearly expressed. We
recognize the grievances Of the Out
landers and have said that these griev-
ances arc not merely themselves a SER
ious cause for Interpolation. but are a
source OF danger to the whole Of South
Africa, We say our predominance is
menaced by the action Of the Trans

ances or give consideration to requests

Euage of a suzerain power. We say

ME QUEENS SPEECH


Foregoing the British Parliament.
An Ordinary Document.
LONDON, August 9.-The queens
speech at the propagation of parliament
to-day contained the following state
ments;
,My Lords and Gentlemen: My rela-
lions with the other powers continue
friendly. The conference summoned
by the emperor OF Russia to consider
measures for promoting the malnten-
ance Of peace has completed Its sit
tlngs. Although the result of its de-
alterations did not fully correspond
with the lofty aims with which it was
summoned to accomplish, 1t has met
with considerable measure Of success.
The institution of permanent tribunal
OF arbitration cannot fail to diminish
the frequency of war. while the extern
sion Of the Geneva convention will nit
igate its horrors"
After reference to the conclusion OF
the Anglo-French convention on the
subject of the Nile valley and the An
gio-Russlan convention In regard to
railway enterprise in China, the speech
continued: 1--WE have received a petit
ton from a considerable number OF my
subjects in the South African republic
praying my assistance to obtain a re-
rnoyal OF grievances and disabilities Of
which they complain. The position OF
my subjects in the South African re-
public is inconsistent with the promise
Of equal treatment whereon my grant
OF internal Independence to that repub-
lie was founded, and the unrest caused
thereby Is a constant source of danger
to the peace and prosperity of my do
niuions In South Africa. Negotiations
ON this subject with the government Of
the South African republic have been
entered into, and are still proceeding"
Another paragraph deals with the
satisfactory reports of the recovery of
the agriculture and trade Of India from
the depression caused by the famine,
but, It adds, fears are now entertained
OF the prospects Of the harvests in Cen
trail and Western India, owing to the
insufficient rainfall. though the officials
are taking timely precautions to meet
any scarcity.
The speech then reads: II regret to
ada that the plague, though still con-
hned to the total of 1870 nreas affected
during the winter, shows no signs OF
abatement"
