A Democratic paper calls attention to
labor disturbances in the country and asks
If they are evidences of prosperity. There
is no better evidence unless 1t be that In
almost every case the demands of strikers
are compiled with and each strike is VIC
torious. 1t must be remembered that the
present strikes are not TO prevent lowering
OF wages, but TO make possible rise in
the pay or workingmen. Laboring men
know when to strike and when they have
hopes or gaining their points. They know
that strikes do not succeed in times of de-

Mr.. Iliff. of this city. is deputy commits
sioner for Wayne and Union counties, and he
has always taken much interest in the franz
ing of all laws for the protection of game
and fish and in the enforcement of them
However, Mr.. Tiff has always been heart
and soul against the SEEMING privilege and his
attitude on this question has been well
known among his friends. He said to the
Item to-day that the practice was out
rageous and was simply ruthlessly destroy
ing thousands upon thousands of game fish
in Wayne county streams. In a recent let
ter to Mr.. Tiff State Commissioners Swee-
ney says that from reports received from his
deputies the seiners are not taking out
many game fish. He also states that had
this law not been passed the result would
have been 'indiscriminate SEEMING. He
says that he got the present law through
as compromise and seems to think it a
good one.-Richmond Item.
There is one industry that has made rapid
increase during the past two years in this
section of the State, as shown by the re-
ceipts of the collectors Office, and that Is
the manufacture of spirits. There is no
tangible evidence that the home consump-
ton of the manufactured product has in
creased, but the effect Of the numerous
distilleries is perceptible. in the better
market for corn. The price paid by the
distillers is usually higher by cents
bushel than the prices paid by shippers,
and, hence, they are directly responsible
for an increase of to 10 per cent. of the
gross amount received by the farmers Tor
their surplus corn. In view of the enor-
nous acreage and large crops along the
lower Wabash this per cent. OF increase
due directly TO the product which gives bus
mess to the collectors office and revenue to
the country, is large. The farmers VINO
raise corn are to be congratulated on the
growth of an industry which is chargeable
with much evil and which, of course, de-
serves credit for the tangible good.-Terre
Haute Express.
