TIE FIRST tropical hurricane OF the
season comes nearly a month earlier
than the one which almost anuihilated
Galveston last year, but its arrival 10
not exceptional. Such storms are
characteristic Ct the close OF summer.
The Galveston storm caused the loss OF
from FIVE to ten thousand lives; not
over hundred fatalities are reported
as a result OF the recent convulsion,
while the pecunisry loss is insignificant
compared with that from last years
disaster. Most of the harm incident to
this years storm was done by the hank
ing up of the water, rather than by the
direct action of the wind. The advance
OF the disturbance was so slow, while 1t
vet remained 10 low ATTITUDES, that a
given spot suffered from the attendant
gales for two or three days. Again,
the chief fury of the hurricane was
manifested on the coast.

THE SUCCESS of Mr.. Shaffer, OF the
Amalgamated workers, in getting 5000
union men at the steel mills In Joliet
Illinois, to 90 out on strike has revived
hope in the breasts Of the strikers; bul
as the action at Joliet involved the
breaking of contract for satisfactory
rate of wages it may be questioned
whether the gain as against the steel
trust will not be Offset by the added
cost of sustaining the army OF idleness
and the loss OF popular sympathy. 10
reference to the subject the Philadei-
phia Record says: "Strikes that become
prolonged into mere measure OF re-
sources on the part of the combatsnts
are usually failures. Apparently the
failure of propositions for arbitation has
made complete defeat for one party or
the other the only probable outcome.
1t IL hardly necessary to observe that
no result could be more deplorable."
