FAKE MARRIAGES.

The Register has upon several oc-
casions during the past summer allud-
ed to the large number of couples,
sometimes as many as seventy-five or
one hundred on one Sunday, who have
hied themselves to the Michigan town
OF St. Joseph to be married. These
young people were generally from Chi
cago, but many came from Milwaukee,
from various points in Central and
Northern Illinois. and even from other
States. Going to ST. Joseph TO get
married was great fad, and the Lake
steamship companies advertised low
rates for the multitudinous lovers anx-
ious to be united for better OF worse.
Now comes the rather unpleasant in
formation that very large percent
age of these st. Joseph marriages were
frauds. The couples would be met, on
arrival at st. Joseph by runners, -
who would impart the delightful insor-
nation that they represented ministers

Should Reform at Home.

Baltimore Sun.
There seems to be no disposition in New
England to commend anything in the
South; all its sympathies appear to be law
ished upon the "down-trodden colored
race" Yet, as a rule. the colored people
fare at least as well as the white toilers
in the factory towns of New England.
There is a white industrial slavery in these
centers of manufacture which is serious
enough to command the attention of the
political and social economists and re-
formers of Boston-a slavery which, ac-
cording to a woman labor expert, has i'm
posed moral degradation upon thousands
of underpaid operatives. While nursing
their Indignation against the south New
England patriots ought to devote some
portion of their energies to reforms at
home.

Is This Civilization.

Chicago Chronicle.
Another steamship has lowered the rec
ord crossing the Atlantic. The trip was
completed in five days, seven hours and
little more than half an hour.
In order to make it possible for the en-
gineers and stokers to endure the temper
allure of the overheated enginry it was
necessary to spray them continually with
water.
Many of these men will never recover
from the effects of the trip. Under ordi-
nary circumstances the heat of an ocean
liners furnaces is so exhausting that the
stoutest stokers fall i'll from subsection to
it, especially during the summer months.
Suicide from heat frenzy and death from
heat apoplexy are commoner among the
ocean-going firemen and stokers than is
generally known.
The strain to which a ship is condemned
for a feat like that just achieved involves
hundreds of lives. Is it worth while?
To the ocean gamblers, yes. Over $4,000
changed hands in lowering the trans-At-
lantic record a few hours.

THE MINERS. STRIKE.

The Intelligencer affects to believe
that the great strike of coal miners,
called for Monday, is political dodge
of the Democrats. The assertion is en-
inensly a foolish one. The miners have
grievances, and everybody is aware OF
the fact If they were not dissatls-
fed could any sane man be induced to
believe that nearly one hundred and
fifty thousand men, of all shades OF
political belief, would lay down their
tools and enter upon what may be
long and costly struggle at the behest
of any political management? The
idea is preposterous.
The coal miners have decided to
strike because they cannot secure JUS
tce They are tired OF the outrages
perpetrated by the coal monopolies.
They have grown weary OF mining
$500 pounds of coal for ton. They
are no longer willing to stand the out
rage of the company store. They de-
mand decent treatment and fair days
wages for fair days work Politics
has nothing to do with the case. Every
workingman, and every fair-minded
citizen not workingman, will sympa-
thize with their effort to secure justice,
and will denounce those papers, like
the Wheeling Intelligencer, which al
lege that politics is responsible for this
trouble. The coal operators are rspon-
sible for it, and no one else.
