To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In this mornings issue Of The Tribune is the
query. Should cartoons be abolished?" No and a
thousand times mol II is with great pleasure that
raise my voice in praise Of the cartoons appear
ing in your valuable paper Despite the criticisms
Of IL. NJ" and "a Tribune Reader" pray don't
think the majority OF readers so wofully lacking
in humor or the appreciation OF a joke as these
two must be. What the preacher is 70 the pulpit
or the actor the stage. the cartoon Is TO the
newspaper. II carries weight, and Is oftentimes
more effective In moulding public opinion than col
umns text would be.
Tweed dreaded the cartoon. II was a mighty
power against him. Patt is not fond OF Il; neither
is Croker nor Tammany with the sledge hammer
blows dealt them through the medium OF Leon
Barritts excellent illustrations II Is greater foe
10 evfidoers than words Offering at the same time
fund OF amusement 10 your readers. Therefore
let the cartoon live and be thrice welcome.

PANTS MAKERS STRIKE.
Want a Ten-Hour Day and Ten Per
Cent Advance in Wages.

NEW YORK. July 25.--Most OF the
pants makers in Manhattan Borough
have struck for a ten-hour work day,
and an advance of 10 per cent in wages.
There are five thousand pants makers
in New York. Brooklyn and Newark.
They belong to unions which are afiil-
lated with the United Garment Work
ers and the latter organization has
used all its influence to prevent a
strike. believing the time is inoppor-
tune. However the pants makers OF
New York have called out the men in
more than 800 shops.
The leaders OF the strike sent tele-
grams to the branches in Brooklyn and
Newark. informing them OF the strike,
and received replies saying that the
branches would be guided by the ac-
tion OF the New Yorkers.
It is said that there has been a grad
ual return to the task system, under
which man must make a certain num-
Der Of garments to entitle him TO a
days pay. The tasks. the men said.
have been gradually increased. until
one had to work a day and half or
two days to earn one days pay.

ship Arethusa viii reach the Brooklyn
navy yard from Philadelphia today,
and will take on board a cargo OF gem

II is considered almost eentain that
large portion OF them VIII be sent TO
China. where the held guns particular

As the Arethusa viii undoubtedly
form part OF Admiral Remeys Chinese
