Labor Difficulties.

About sixty section men in the
employ of the Chicago & North
western railway at this poin,
walked on. yesterday afternoon
about 2 o'clock on strike fol
higher wages. The section men
have been receiving Sl.65 q day
but they now demand that they
be paid $3.50. Murphy, the form
er foreman, was discharged two
days ago and a new man installed
in his place. This the section
men resent and Murphy's dis
missal forms part of their griev-
ance.
Officials of the Northwestern,
when asked about the strike, de.
clined to discuss it, but admit that
the men had made demand for
an increase in their pay.-Coun-

make money. There is more in
it than there is in teaching school

have made most of the trouble.

Is it Possible?

We hear it remarked sometimes
that it is probable that the NOM
ination of Governor Roosevelt for
ice-President will secure him a
large Democratic vote! If any
Democrat has the most distant
idea of casting a vote for him, let
such a voter stop and read what
this candidate said, in a recent
speech, about the Democratic
party:
"The Democrats stand for law
lessness, for dishonesty, and dis
honor; for license, and disaster at
home, and cowardly shrinking
from duty abroad
That is a rather broad charge
against the 6,257, 1893 Democratic
voters who cast their votes for Mr.
Bryan in 1896. A broad charge
when history records the fact that
not battle has been. fought by
the national government since
1916 to 1900, in which Democratic
blood has not been poured out
like water in defense of human
liberty; not victory won under
the starry flag, where Democratic
valor was not represented. On
the field at Charleston and Valley
Forge, Democratic valor and en-
durance sustained our flag. On
the plains of the sunny South, and
on the battlefields of Mexico. on
every CORY field where honor
tells, and honor is or was to be
gained, the Democracy stood
bodily for the right, and victory
came to our armies.
Following is what Colonel Wife
quain, of Nebraeka said 10 answer
to Governor Ro,svelt's speech:
eff any other public man than
Governor Roosevelt has resorted
to such Safeguarding language ii

but what else could we expect

CNN~AhDE
This volume shows the eloquence of figures
and Of the facts they coldly represent The
questions it deals with can, at this distance of
time, be considered in a purely scientific manner
but they can never lose their significance.
to Americans, Of a reunited country The ques-
ton Of the numbers engaged and the losses
suffered both sides in the Civil War has
often been discussed, but probably never with
the painstaking and exhaustive minuteness here
displayed. Colonel Livermore, who fought in
that war in New-Hampshire regiments, has
made the fullest use of all the published and
many Of the unpublished sources of information,
governmental and other; but the chief value Of
his work is not measured so much by the weight
and extent Of his material by the acute
deductions he has made from it. The general
trend Of his results is that the numbers OF the
Confederate Army have been largely underes-
timated. These numbers cannot be ascertained
from the records published by the Government
The data in the hands Of the War Records
Office are so incomplete that no attempt
has been made by that Office accurately to fix
the number The Confederate Government kept
no record and the statistics obtainable from the
States themselves are far from complete. From
the figures that do exist, however, Colonel liver
more makes some interesting calculations.
Confederate writer's have estimated the num-
Der of their army at 100000; one has put it at
100000 Only one of them, DR.. Joseph Jones.
Surgeon of the United Confederate Vet
Grams. gives the sources of his figures. There
are a priori reasons, in Colonel Livermore's
opinion, for believing that such estimates would
bt. likely to be too low. He says:
1t is a part of human nature which persuades
the losers in war to believe that the result
must nave come from a great disparity in num-
beTs. The sustained confllct ana IeTIto4e IOss
of four wears of war placed the reputation of
Southern valor so high that exaggerated state
rnents of numbers cannot further eXalt II IN the
estimation of the world. To prove that the es-
timated ratio OF four TO one between the TWO
armies is not founded in fact does not diminish
that reputation. The result of the war depend
ed much on the superiority of the North in
material resources. This outWeighed many
men. On the other hand il would not dispaTage
Northern courage to establish a large dispropor-
ton in numbers il view of the defensive atti-
tude of the South and the necessity Of invading
and occupying a constantly charging territory
which was forced upon the Northern army.
This REQUIRED many more men than mere bat
ties upon equal terms would have required.
Colonel Livermore first considers DR.. JOnes's
figures Correcting his items by the incomplete
muster rolls as to the number Of deserters and
discharges, which must themselves be corrected
for their inadeluacies, and in various other
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1900-10-21

ways. he makes the Confederates' estimate Of
100000 become $4,000. But this increase Of
AZ per cent is still insufficient, on account of
the clearly excessive statement of the cases Of
wounds and disease in the hospital reports.
Colonel Livermore has been unable to locate
these reports, and leaves DR.. Jones's figures
largely augmented but still impossible of ac-
ceptance.
Another basis of computation is the census
of 1SGO in the Southern States, coupled with
a consideration of the rigid measures employed
to get every Southern man of military age into
the field; various statistics of some of the South
ern States as 10 the troops they furnished, and
the returns OF the armies in the war records.
careful scrutiny of these sources yields re-
suit Of 1,234,O0O men as the strength of the Con-
federate armies Another estimate based on the
number of regiments and their original strength,
together with such of the irregular organiza-
tons joining the army as are ascertainable
gives figures between 1,227 $50 and 1406 $50
Inc W ar Records Office has estimated the Con-
federate strength at over 100000" and
Colonel Cassellman, of the Pension Office, at
LoooOOO 1t would seem that a figure consid-
erably in excess of one million must be ac-
Cepted as the truth
The number of enlistments in the Union Army
was 2S9S304 but the number of men under
arms was considerably less, because of repeated
re-enlistments by individuals. There is endless
confusion caused by the varying lengths of the
term Of service, but by a system of reductions
10 a three year basis Colonel Livermore has
arrived at the number of men serving three
years, equivalent to the number of enlisted
serving their actual terms, as 1,536,6IS; the
same for the Confederate Army 1,0S2 119
The records show that the losses in the Union
Army of killed and wounded were $50. 245. While
1t is estimated that $1,000 were killed or NOR
at the usual ratio Of one to twenty-five, would
give total loss in killed and wounded of
$4,000 An interesting and original treatment
is given of the question whether on the whole
side showed martial capacity superior 10
the other. Here other things than numbers
and losses must be taken into account Says
Colonel Livermore:
Careful study Of the campaigns and battles
with the statistics of losses leads TO the belief
not only that the Southern leaders were, at least
up to 1864. holder in taking risks than their op-
pOnents but also that they pushed their forces
under fire very nearly to the limits of endurance
|. The more frequent ventures of the Con-
federate generals may be attributed in part to
the greater impetuosity of the Southern temper
ament, and in part TO the ever present con-
seriousness in the Union generals that they were
warning TO preserve and in the Confederate
generals that they We're warning to destroy, a
government. But good generals cannot
fight battles as the Confederates fought them
without extraordinarily good soldiers.
The author, ever mindful of his place and
duties as statistician then goes on in re-
uarkable series of tables and figures TO show
the statistical basis for his generalization
