THE RAILROAD STRIKE.

Tho Indications are that the New-York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Company VIII
win rather easy victory over lts sUihihs
freight handlers Trains were moving, not
regularly but with considerable freedom yes
terday except at NewHaven. and somethlhs
was done toward clearing the lines az that
point Little difficulty has been found IN secur-
ing new men, and there is reason to suppose
that the company might have filed all the
places which were so abruptly vacated II II
had cared 10 make the utmost haste. This result
was to have been expected, for the strike mas
no support in public sentiment. and is not fa7or-
ably regarded by the union leaders. so far as IL
is possible TO Judge from what has been sald
thus far in their behalf. Labor troubles have
not infrequently been started with equal pre-
cipitation and imprudence, but such conduct Oh
the part of railroad employees is no longer
looked for. They have in general learned TO
take more reasonable view of their relations
with the companies and with the public ana q
clearer perception of the means likely to pro-
mote their own interests has made railroad
strikes infrequent in recent years. In this
instance few hotheaded men seem TO have
exercised an unaccountable influence and pro-
voked mischief which might readily. have been
avoided.
There is no complaint about hours or wages.
The only contention on the part Of the strikers
is that one of their fayorite associates in the
service of the company had been dismissed ana
two OF three of their superiors had made them
selves disliked by disagreeabe demeanor and
arbitrary practices On that account they
stopped work without warning, and informed
the company that they would not return until
those men had been discharged obviously this
was an unwarrantable and foolish proceeding
If their objections to the individuals set over
them were we'll founded the company would
probably have taken care to satisfy them, either
by granting their express demands or by guar
anteeing them suitable treatment hereafter. But
it was absurd for them to suppose that the COM
pany would submit to the orders of men who
had not waited even to make a presentation of
their case before abandoning their duties. II
such method of procedure should be tolerated
there would be no limit to the disorganization
of traffic which it would involve. The only
feasible course was TO reject at once and finally
the conditions prescribed. Yet the company has
not been harsh. 1t has been ready to confer
with the strikers as often as they liked. and has
appeared desrous of encouraging them to recon
slider their hasty action and to allay rather than
increase resentment
If, as now seems probable, the strike should
completely collapse within day or two, the
men who have been engaged in II would have
only themselves to blame for whatever loss they
might suffer in consequence of singuarly OBJ
jectionable and irrational performance. If it
should last longer their misfortunes would be
correspondngly increased. for there is not the
slightest reason to believe that they could ever
succeed in establishing claims presented in such
a fashion.

GRATIFYING NEXICAN TRADE.

Recent statistics OF Mexican trade are highly
gratifying, both from the Mexican and fIam the
United States point Of view. The remarkable
increase of commerce which began about six
years ago seems to ba well maptalucd and the
character and direction: Of it satisfactory
The balance of trade is still enormously in
favor cf Mexico, imports being less tbap 81 per
cent Of exports. Ia the last fiscal year there
was 4 considerable decrease jD experts Of vege-
table products. due IL temporary causes, while
mineral and animal r.odnct8, which ars net 50
much affected by such causes, showed Il fire
increase Scarcely more than one -aizfh Of the
exports went to Europe, and the amclnt showed
a decline from the preceding fiscal year, while
there was a substantial increase in the amount
sent to American countries, especially to Cuba
Guatemala and the United States. The only
European countries to which Mexican exports
showed a gain were Spain and Belgium and
that gain was more than offset by the heavy
loss In exports to France and Great Britain.
Turning to imports into Mexico, 1t is to be
observed that the last year showed marked
decline in amount from all parts Of the world
except the American continents, from which
there was n large increase. There was con
siderable gain from Germany, moderate gain
from Holland and small gain from Austria
Hungary, from Italy and from Switzerland
All other European countries showed a marked
decline. On the other hand, the increase in
imports from the United States was consider
ably more than half great as the entire mass
of imports from Germany, and was much larger
than the aggregate increases from all other
countries in the world. Evidently the tendency
of Mexican trade Is toward increasing COM
merce with other American countries, and espe-
cially with the United States, which is precisely
as it should be-

sCASNELL AGAIN INDICTED.

The grand jury yesterday found new indict-
ments against Fire Commissioner Scannell and
his friend, William l. Marks charging them
with conspiracy to defraud the city, and there
is every prospect that they may at last be COM
PEELED to submit their actions TO the judgment
OF Jury. The crimes charged are those for
which indictments were found several months
ago, but set aside by Justice Gildersleeve be-
cause of technical defects in the procedure. The
cases having been resubmitted, the indict-
ments are secured. which, it is believed. can
not be set aside. When Scannell was first faced
with these allegations he professed the greatest
anxiety for a fun and speedy investigation. In
jured innocence never made a braver show of
passion for rindication. Even Richard Croker's
protests of few days ago that he was an hon
est man. and his defiance of his critics to prove
anything against him, We're not more affecting
Ind pathetic.
But Mr. scannen had hardly finished his first
protests Of innocence when he began to cast
about for ways to avoid the investigation he
had seemed so anxious to promote. He sought
DELAYS with the diligence Of an accused ward
man, and finally. instead OF standing trial and
friumphantly confounding his detractors and
showing that all his transactions with Marks
were highly honorable. and going off the stage
with the rest Of the Van Wyck administration
like a hero of melodrama amid the tears of an
ednliring populace he crawled into court and
asked to be saved from yindicating himself for
the technically good but morally unedifying
reason that the lawyer selected by the District
Attorney to present the charges to the grand
Jury because of his familiarity with them, was
not sworn into office as an Assistant District
Attorney. This plea served for delay. If Tam
many had won the district attorneyship it
might perhaps have served for more. But as
It is Mr.. Scannell still has the old charge to
meet
The case against the tive is morally
strong and. it is to be hoped. legally complete.
Dealers in Fire Department supplies have testi-
fed that they could not sell goods TO the city
until they employed Marks an agent. Then
the advertisements for bids We're made 10 in
clude their goods When they had a trade ar
rangement for selling at a certain price they
gave Marks a commission out of their own
profits and when they were not SO bound the
goods were turned over 10 the city at the regu-
lar price az which the city could have bought
directly plus the ''rakeoff' OF Marks. Marks
formerly had partner in the agency business.
but the two separated. One firm, being in doubt
which to employ. went to Scannell himself for
instructions Its officers testified that Scannell
said he was not accustomed TO talk about such
Things that he would do no business with
Marks's former partner but that Marks was all
right This situation was brought to the Con-
kroller's attention last winter, but he had no
bower to hold I'D the bills however exorbtant
which Scannell had passed. So the waste has
gone on, reputable firms have been held up"

NEW-YORK JURORS ARE IMPARTIAL.

1t is almost time for Devery to get another
cold and be too sick to appear in court. The
hard days when Devery attempted to avoid trial
by the old Giroy Police Board by shutting him.
self up in his house and refusing to be examined
by police surgeon must come back to his mind
most unpleasantly just now. His tried and
trusty Glennon is in trouble, and he does not
seem 10 be as clever in slipping through the
meshes of the law he was in 1894. He
wanted to avoid trial In this county. as some
of the other indicted policemen have DONE but
Justice TruaX refuses TO grant change Of
venue holding that there is no reason appar-
ent why he cannot have fair trial in this
county. So Glennon must face his accusers
here, and Devery. who is Glennon's hacker, is
something more than an idle spectator of the
proceedings.
There can be no question that Justice Truax
was right in refusing to grant a change Of
venue. There was really no good reason for the
changes in police cases hitherto granted, though

HEW-TORK SPEEDW4YS.

Among the characteristic and individual fields
of recreation in which it can be said safely that
New-York need fear invidious rivalry from
other well known cities is the Speedway along
the western shore of the Harlem River and the
magnificent boulevard in Brooklyn from Pros
pect Park to Coney Island. London and Paris.
Berlin and Vienna st. Petersburg and Buda-
pest have parks and drives both spacious and
alluring But nowhere else are there many
swift roadsters of the highest class as within
the boroughs which make up the great New
York of this period; and nowhere else are there
such ample opportunities as here for the efforts
of amateur owners and drivers who delight to
meet their friends in amicable contests with
trotters and PAGERS.
In the skill. the zest and the resolute energy of
the men who own and drive the flyers OF the
thoroughfares Gotham holds undisputed pri
macy. And how the pulses beat how the thrills
of glorious combat rush through every nerve
and vein of horse and driver and onlooker as
the noble creatures contend for the laurels and
trumphs of the speedways!
The Speedway in upper New-York and the
broad long stretches of the Brooklyn Boulevard
are highly popular and are important and valu-
able features among the attractions and diver
sions of this American Babylon. We may not
have han..ug gardens here. but our roadsters
our trottcrs can surely hold their own against
all comers We are proud Of them and we
have reason to be proud. But the dazzling sue
cess CT our speedways should not encourage our
owners of fast horses to go 100 far. Road
drivers uptown have resolved to ask for
recreation pier and big boat landing on the
Harlem, TO be paid for out Of the public funds
This is unreasonable. NewYork has spent
millions of dollars on the Speedway already
Recreation piers in the crowded quarters of the

lent purpose in the summer months, and there
should be more Of them. But to dip into the
public funds for recreation pier and boat
landing by the side of the Speedway would be
inexcusable extravaganza in present conditions
The road drivers have been treated bountifully.
They should make further demands.

VARIETIES OF BEES.
Those Most in Favor In This Country
Are the Cyprians, Italians and
West Indians.

The Cyprians are the greatest honey
gatherers on record. Their honey has
a watery appearance, which is caused
by the cells being filed so full that the
Gaping rests on the honey. They are
easily offended and cannot be subdued
without using great quantity OF
smoke. The Cyprians are rejected q
account of these faults by those who
produce comb honey. Their symmetry
and bright colors render them things
of beauty, if not joy forever.
Italian bees were first introduced
into the United States direct from
Italy, early in 1860, by a purchasing
agent of the commissioner of agricul-
ture. They are liked better than other
races, which, though better honey
gatherers, are not as easily subdued
and handled. l think their golden yell
low color has much to do with their
popularity. Italian bees do not winter
as well in a cold climate as the com
mon black or brown bees, but they de-
fend their hives better against moth
and other robber bees, and are more
energetic in gathering honey.
The smallest bees known are natives
of the West Indies. They build in the
open air, fastening single comb to
the branch of a small tree or shrub

A WORD ABOUT WORK.
II Some Farmers Would Labor Less
and Attend to Business More
They Would Prosper.

The farmer is a busy man if he is
worthy of his occupation. So is every
other man, no matter what his busi-
ness in the world may be. The idler
and the trifer are Ike the sinner who
Cannot stand in the Judgment they
cannot stand long in the stern trial
which the world has for every business
man. But too many men misunder-
stand the meaning of the word work.
To many ii means only manual labor;
TO many farmers it looms up as neces-
sary and important above all other
things. For the sake of their work
they will neglect their business. For
the sake of their work they will pass
by opportunities of great value if they
were improved. The wise man spoke
of him who is 'diligent in business" as
worthy of the highest honor; not of
the man who is slave to his everyday
work.
There is a nice problem confronting
every business man. 1t is what and
how much of the drudgery or detail of
his business he shall attend to person
ally. We have known a man whose
time was worth several thousand dol
lars year to spend it on work that
cheap clerk could do as well. He was
losing something. We know farmers
and stockmen who are sticking at
home and at labor all the time who
ought to be attending to their busi-
ness affairs instead of taking the place
of a hired hand. They are putting
their ability in at too low price,
they are undertaking themselves. Con-
slider what work can be done most
effectively and do it. 1t may be that
writing a letter will bring returns
enough to pay for a laborer for sew
eral days. 1t may be that reading an
article or an advertisement will be
worth more money than a months la
Dor. No man can lay down rule for
another in such matters, but if some
people would labor less and attend to
business more they would be better
off. Work is not all manual labor, it
is the intelligent direction of energy
to the furtherance of business.-Na-
tional Stockman.
