Five cents a day Is the cost Of llv-
Ing among the RuskInitos, or members
Of the socialist colony which, after be-
coming somewhat famous In Tennes-
see, was transported to site near
Waycross, Ca, where 1t now -four

these remarkable economic conditions.

results Is by no means palate-tickling
but 1t is adequate and hyglenic, and
the Ruskinites say they like 1t. Any
one might, living in the open air and
exercising vigorously, In any case,
they arc proud Of having demonstrated
something. They are living on the
lowest daily expenditure that Is pos
sible, and that Is triumph Of sort.
Here Is an outline Of the fashion in
which this economic miracle is ac-
complished; All provisions are

quency with which strikes occur In
Germany, incidentally they destroy
the prestige OF the United States as n
strike center, During one year, for In
stance-the year 1S99--1,297 strikes
took place in Germany. The year be-
fore there had been only 1856, which
indicates the rapidly growing strength
Of organized labor and perhaps also
the multiplication of causes Of dis
content At all events 1t was hard
year for employers as well as for
strikers, as 1920 establishments were
obliged to shut down completely at
different times during this one year.
1t Is plain from this that the German
workman has not only acquired weap-'
ons Of self-protection, but uses them.
As for the number Of workmen con-
cerned in the strikes Of 1899, the same
interesting statistics fx II at l00,779,
while the entire number Of establish
ments affected was 7,llS, OF these all
not obliged to shut down altogether
were seriously disabled Further indl-
cations Of the serious character Of the
labor-capItal war in Germany lie In
the fact that the total number OF
strikes extended over 1876 weeks and
cost $625,25i. or the total number 542
had an offensive and 42O defensive
character. The least gratifying feature
to the friends of organized labor is
that only $40 strikes were completely
successful; 2O5, however altogether.

No Financial Shock.

One of the best indications of our
sound monetary system and our good
business conditions has been the alb
sence OF any financial panic following
the assault upon President Mckinley
end his death a week later. The shock
VAS almost imperceptible. There was a
little unsteadiness upon the stock mar
ket but much less than is often caused
by some comparatively trivial Circum-
stance or intangible rumor. or the
death of a foreign ruler. AS a matter Of
fact there has been no occasion for
panic. the political ana business out
look being unusually serene. There is
settled and Mr.. McKinley's death
leaves their execution 10 others who
are in fun harmony with his ideas.
Henry Clews in his weekly financial
letter comments upon this and says:
The business, situation is emincntly
sound; there has been no undue expan-
Sipil VI ana oNtI IL
not yet in sight. Heavy clearing house
returns. large railroad earnings and
small volume Of failures. all testify to
the general activity and soundness of
business and the prcdonnance OF IA
vorable conditions. Hence no parallel
could be made with the depression
which followed the assassination of
President Garfield. Then confidence
was unsettled by political uncertainties
and the country was ripe for a reaC-
ton from previous commercial and
financial excuses. Such Is not the case
now. Whatever weak spots may de-
velop. and there are some. II must be
admitted, il seems quite certain that
the period of business activity Is not
at an end. In some instances and par
tieularly on che. Stock Exchange. prices
have been pushed too high as result
of over sanguine expectations. This,
however. Is an excess that will correct
itself: and il is quite likely that lower
prices for stocks and for some articles
of merchandise. notably iron products.
would infuse fresh activity and conf
derice into the various markets. 1t Is
altogether premature to assume that
the wave of prosperity which we have
been enjoying the last few years has
spent its force. Its momentum is still
great. and if Speculation is held within
reasonable bounds we may confidently
expect its continuance for a further
period. On this account the scarcity of
money may be regarded as a blessing
in disguise. With very easy money and
a big corn crop, we should certainly
have rushed into an unInanageable
boom that would have quickly created
material for good-sized' panic later

Expulsion from The Senate.

fhe proposition that Senator Well
States Senate for his expressions of in
difference as to the circumstances or
effects of the assault upon the Presi-
dent. brings out the inquiry if such a
step was ever taken by this high body
in regard to one of its members. The
Senate mas unlimited power in such a
case and by a two-thirds vote can eX-
pei a member for any cause. Once. at
least, this power of expulsion has been
used: Jesse ID. Bright. senator from

Reflections OF a chelor.

The luckiest gamblers in the lottery
Of love are those who don't play the
game.
You can never make an engaged girl
believe that it ever happened that way
before.
A woman doesn't care so much to
have a man dangling after her as she
cares not 70 have one.
Any woman can marry any man she
rleases. but what worries her is 10
marry a man they displease. . wy
A woman can manage to be pretty
happy under the most depressing cir
cumstances If she can only find some
one TO listen 10 her rake down her rel
atives.
The difference between being en-
gagged and married is that before mar
rage a man can't stand being away
from her and afterward he can't stand
not being away.
