Is is paradox now quite generally
understood that strikes are a sign of
good times. The great Homestead
Strike came in the good times ten years
ago, and the Albany strike is now but
one of many going on In these good
times. The laboring man sees the
wealth that prosperity is piling up, and
naturally wants to increase his share of
il. He doesn't strike when adverse
times are checking the production of
wealth.

Lewiston journal: Let those who
believe in out.lawing nuisances, bear in
mind that law is not enacted to force
virtue but to punish crime. All that
law can do is to put all forms of crime
under a ban. The decline of the drink.
ing evil, of the gambling hell and of the
disorderly house, must be effected by
better education and by the lessons OF
experience. The enforcement of the
law against all offences, embodies the
public judgment and the Reproduction of
offences. Men by law may be made to
stop and think the law is only school
master and many go to school and learn
nothing. There are gambling wanton-
ness, larceny, rum selling and other
offences despite the law; but the moment
any offence is licensed, the moment any
nuisance is "respectabilized in law,
that moment an irreparable offence is
committed by the state against society.

Relic of Horace Greeley Settled by the
Courts.

Whitelaw Reid has won a final YER
diet in the suit against him of Alexan-

Mr.. Greeley's death there was a move
ment to erect a statue in his honor; a
committee was formed, and before it
fairly got to work the panic of 20 broke
in, and nothing was done. But Mr..
Reid had a few thousand dollars given
him, and i'm 1881 he contracted with
j. n. A. Ward to make the statue
which now is a distinction of Printing

building. Mr., Reid himself added to
the $4,000 he had in hand the remain

of the original committee applied the
funds in the hands of Andrew H. Green
as treasurer, and other moneys APP
parently. to the Doyle statue. Mr.
Doyle sued Mr.. Reid for the money
which had already been expended, from
the gifts made to him and sent to the
Tribune, in the Tribune statue. The
