VICTORY FOR THE WORKING
NANNY

MANC)
1t is not at all improbable that
before this goes to type an agreement
VIII be reached between the striking
Pennsylvania miners and their en-
ployers upon basis satisfactory to
the worklngman. We sincerely hope
tnat 1t Will come to pass, and that
the satisfactory arrangements will
continue indefinitely, but it is to be
very much doubted that this will be
the case. We cannot recall case of
such magnitude in which everything
asked by striking laborers was before
granted to the fullest extent. none
that was as amicably settled and
without a clash of civilions and
state authorities. 1t will be, if ad-
Justed as now promised, the greatest
victory labor has ever achieved in
this country, and IF there is not a
malignant purpose on the part of the
mine owners underlying the whole,
the entire country is to be congratu-
lated upon the outcome.
Our doubts have many grounds to
stand upon. 1t must be taken into
consideration that this country is
upon the eve of a very important
national election. The Republican
party has recently made a record
which is heavily straining its popu-
larity among all classes but the sup
per ten" and its prestige is threat
ened. Nothing has done more within
the past few weeks TO shake it than
the strike of the coal miners. and
this has been fully recognized by the
Republican managers. The Repub-
llcan Governor of Penn sylvania has
been induced to refrain from sending
troops to the scene in order to prevent
clash and the attending political
results. Senator Hanna and Banker
Morgan have daily held conferences
on the subject with the labor leaders
in Mr.. Morgan's Wall Street office.
The result has been that everything
will be conceded the miners. 1t will
cost the operators little because they
can easily make up the increased
price of wages by the increase in the
price of coal. Hanna and Morgan,
no doubt, used the argument that
unless the trouble was settled, and
that speedily, the Republican ticket
was doomed. If necessary the cam
paign fund could be called upon to
reimburse the operators to the extent
of the increase in pay demanded by
their laborers. The argument was
plain, the solution plairer and the
Republican party could easily afford
to foot the bills.
But what of the future? 1t is
not in the nature of prophecy
for we are not given to prophesying
nor yet is it guess; but, based
upon judgment of men and things
and good understanding of Repub-
lican tactics, We stoutly assert that
the agreement with the strikers can
not last, probably not much later
than the early days after the election.
In their agreement the terms are
offered the strikers with this string
to it-"until further notice" Is it.
then, assuming too much to believe
that the present crisis has simply
been tided over until all danger from
it to the Republican party shall have
passed, and that as soon as this
acute stage is relieved the owners
will return to their old manner of
dealing with their employees?

Cedars Twenty Centuries Old.

Some cedars are undoubtedly more
than 1000 years old, for. though on
good moraine soil they grow about as
fast as oaks, on bare pavements and
smoothly glaciated overswept granite
ridges in the dome region they grow
extremely slow.
One on the Starr King ridge. only
feet II inches in diameter, was LAO
years old. Another on the same ridge,
only l foot ~ inches in diameter, had
reached the age of S34 years. The first
10 inches from the bark of medium
seized tree-6 feet in diameter--on the
north Tenaya pavement had $50 layers
Of wood, or 81 to the inch. Beyond
this the count was stopped by dry rot
and overgrown wounds.
The largest l examined was SO feet
in girth, or nearly 10 feet in diameter,
and, though l failed to get anything

from this and many other specimens

LincOIn's Goodness.

Thomas +. Prendle, for 50 years a
doorkeeper at the executive mansion,
used frequently to accompany Presi-
dent Lincoln on his walks about town
and has many interesting things to tell
of that great man, whom he believes to
have been one of the bravest men the
world has ever known.
On one occasion Prendle was walk
ing with the president down fight of
steps at the navy department when
they came suddenly upon man who
was evidently endeavoring to hide him
self in a dark corner at the bottom of
the staircase. Observing the stranger
and fearing he meant harm to the
president, Prendle essayed to place his
body in position to protect his com.
panion.
Mr.. Lincoln, however, brave and
fearless as always, stepped forward
and closely scrutinized the man, who
ran rapidly up the steps and. turning
squarely around when he reached the
top, looked down upon the president.

What Old SAWYER Said.

Senator Sawyer considered himself
personally responsible for a Republic
an majority in Wisconsin and was
quite sensitive ON that subject.
During the Garfield campaign I was
sitting one day in his simple office at
Oshkosh when a gentleman, then I'M
known. but now occupying prominent
position III public affairs, appeared
with lette, IF introduction from Mar
of the Republican national committee.
who stated that the bearer had been in
structed to visit Wisconsin for the pur-
pose Of making a report upon the po-
litical situation and the prospects of
the Republican ticket This pricked
the old mans pride He resented, in
his good natured way, the invasion of
his territory, and l noticed that his
face flushed as he read the letter. Aft
er looking out of the window for a few
moments he looked at his watch, hand
ed back the letter Of introduction to his
surprised visitor and remarked with
deliberation:
There's train leaving here at S
O'Clock that will get you into New York
day after tomorrow morning, and I'll
send up one of my boys to see that you
get aboard. When you get to New
York. you tell Jewell that old Sawyer

A singular custom prevails in Chile
which in these days of aseptic pre-
cautions will cause shudder among
those who see infection lurking in ev-
cry detail of life. 1t is called straw
berry fishing and is conducted in this
fashion,:
At the close of a dinner the cloth is
removed, and there is placed upon the
table an immense bowl into which are
emptied half dozen bottles of Bor-
deaux wine, four Of cherry and two of
rum, besides sugar and nutmeg. Into
this mixture is put very large straw
berry, which floats upon the surface
The bowl is provided with two han
dies. These are used to lift the vessel
and tilt it SO that the strawberry may
be brought near the edge and sucked
into the mouth. This would appear an
easy feat, but it is a difficult one, as
the fruit rolls over when touched with
the lips. The contestant in the effort
swallows a considerable quantity OF
the liquid concoction.
This is the reason for the game for
er many times in succession before the
stra wberry is captured. When that
moment finally arrives, all of the
guests have reached a ripe stage Of
hilarity. This is the game as it is
played among the higher classes.
