Strike for Democracy.

The New York journal and Ameri.
can declares:
Strikes are costly, disturbing and
often deadly, but the spirit which
causes workmen to strike Is 70 be en-.
cou ragged, not deplored.
Far worse for the country than strikes
would be slavish disposition to submit
humbly to degrading conditions Of life.
Strikes are part OF the price we pay
for the advance OF civilization, which is
to be measured In progressive improve.
ment in the standard Of living.
Under our existing social system cap.
itsl and labor. employer and employed,
are partners In production but when 1t
comes to dividing their joint product
they are no longer partners, but hostile
forces.
Capital tries to keep all 1t can, and
labor tries to extort for itself rs much
W possible.
Hence this great coal strike and all
strikes for higher wages.
There ought TO be better way, an
easier, less destructive way, for appor.
tioning between capital and labor what
they earn In conjunction. So ought
there to be better way than that OF
sighting bloody battles to settle inter.
national disputes.
The strike, like war. is u symptom Of
social disease, u proof that We have yet
to travel far before we shall arrive ut q
stage Of civilization, a state OF social
health, where both will be outgrown.
There have been plenty CT foolish
skrikes and OF wicked strikes. but the
total effect OF strikes muct be reckoned
~ vastly good.
Bishop POTTER recently reminded an
audience that workingmen owe little to
anybody save themselves for the amel.
ioration Of their lot.
To trades unions and their insistent
demands for better wages and shorter
hours we are indebted Tor most Of the
Improvement which has taken place In
the condition Of the wage. workers.
And a. the wage.workers are prosper.
Gus, or the reverse, 80 In the long run
will be the remainder Of the community.
Hence the interest Of the community
10 with labor and not with capital In the
eeassless struggle over wages.
In the rapidly extending union Of
workingmen, the steadily deepening
sense OF the solidarity OF labor, we see
one OF the most hopeful signs OF this era
Of consolidation.
Presently the strike will extend to
the polls.
When the millions Of citizens who
toll for wages learn 10 vote IA they
work In their own interest-we shall

The Turner's Masquerade.

A person might as we'll have gone
way back and sat down" il he did not
have on mask costume at the Turner's
grand masquerade last night at Turn
Halle. He was simply not in it without
one and the fun had by those who did
mask was enough to turn him green
with envy at his slowness in not having
donned costume.
The floor of the Halle was more than
well filed with the gay masqueraders-
it was crowded, but this only intensi-
fed the good cheer OF the occasion.
There was every kind OF costume, as
there always is upon the occasion OF
masqus ball The greater portion OF
those last night, however, were home
made, but they looked as well II not bet
ter than the rags and tinsel that go to
make up some OF the imported costumes
which are generally brought to this city
from outside points.
Besides those who we're masked, there
were great many spectators, and these
soon caught the spirit OF the occasion
and had almost as good time in watch
ing the antics of those in costume as II
they had been costumed themselves; at
least from the merriment depicted on
their faces one would have thought So
A neat little sum was netted from the
ball, which will go toward maintaining
the institution in which so much pride
is taken by the major portion OF the peo-
pile of this city of German descent.
