THE WASTEFULNESS or STRIKES

The long aud stubborn strike
in the textile interest of Phila-
delphIn has Just been closed. OF

strike in June, all but 1000 have
returned to work, convinced nt lust

less struggle for impossible cond-
tons. The results Of tho strike,
as summed up by the philadel-
phia Ledger, tell the usual story
of pure economic waste.
The loss is divided more equally
than usual between the men and
The employers The latter svl-
IDENTIFY will not have the oppor-
tunlty enjoyed by the anthracite
mining companies to reooup their
losses by larger sales at higher
prices. The trade of tho year has
been lost by idlenoss of the mills
during the summer. Their market
has gone to other industries. Now
that work has been resemed, It is
too late for any great energy in
production until work for next
seasons trade shall begin in
the winter. Therefore while the
loss of the employees in wages is
estimated at $4,000, 900, that of
the employers In trade is estimated
at $12, 100000
The employers, however, have
made a permanent gain, which will
be temporary loss for the work
men. The necessities created by
the strike have stimulated inven-
tior remarkably. Many opera
tions done by hand before the
strike are now done by new and
applications of machin-
cry. The popular process of msr-
was formerly done by
hand labor. Now machines have
been invented for this, each of
which will do the work Of Ave or
six men. New inventions have
also been made in the dyeing de-
partment which are expected to

OF oURRENT INTEREST.
Whistler and the Royal Academy.

A quietus seems finally to have been
put to the long controversy in England
as to real reason of Whistler's atti-
tude toward the Royal academy One
faction, headed by Harry Quilter has
been firm in it's assertion that Whistler
was always disgruntled because he
could never secure an election to that
body. Another faction has scorned the
idea that he would have taken an cleo
ton even if it had been offered to him.
Recently Mr.. Quilter wrote again to the
London Times inclosing a letter from
an artist whose name he suppresses,
but for whose standing and veracity
he vouches. The writer of the letter
tells a little incident which is signifi-
cant. The year Whistler Joined the So
ciety of British Artists he was at the
Arts Club in London with the writer
and member of the Royal academy
The latter was genial with wine, and
asked Whistler point blank if he would
accept an election to the Royal acad-
emy. The American, much to the
writer's surprise and disappointment,
consented with great eagerness, and
took the matter UP the next day, but
nothing came Of it.

Wilcox is quite in his old form as a
jaw-warrior when he tells the Home
Rulers that, if elected sheriff, he will
put rope about the necks of the white
men and drag them into the sea. The
public, however, does not forget what
Wilcox did on previous occasions when
he and the haoles had trif1ing un-
pleasantness. In 1889. for instance, he
hid in an empty gas tank, with flag
of truce wrapped around him, while
some of his followers were stopping
bullets; and in 1895, after startinz a
revolution he beat the worlds noun
tain goat record in sprinting for safe
hiding place in the woods. As a terror
to haoles Wilcox is about as formidable
as cottontail rabbit.

The afternoon papers yesterday had
a skeleton dispatch from "Marshf1eld"
about the wreck of the steamer South
Portland on a reef at Bandon. The
Star credited Marshfield to Oregon,
which is probably correct. Its contem-
>norary, the Bulletin, chose the Marsh
deld In England and found Bandon
reef over in Ireland-though why an
English rural village, fifty miles from
the sea, should be first to report a
marine disaster on Ireland was unex-
ulained. The Advertiser, in looking the
matter UP, found a Marshfield in Mas
sachusetts, not far from tidewater, and
by consulting a gazetteer discovered
that the only steamer registered under
the name South Portland belongs on
the North Atlantic coast. This paper
was almost inclined, therefore, to fix
upon the Massachusetts Marshfield, but
upon examining the map, found Ban
don near the Oregon port and in the
coast steamship advertisements found
a South Portland listed. So the Stars
choice stands. The circumstance will
be interesting to the public as showing
the difficulties which attend the proper
handling of the daily cablegrams.

THE APPROACHING ELECTION.

Wise generals, in the heat of battle,
converge their most reliable and best
equipped forces upon the points where
the concentra ton of the enemy is most
apparent. In this fact there is a sug-
gestion for the political campaign in
the Territory of Hawaii. Evidently
the underground politicians, be they
renegade Republicans or of any other
malignant character, who are masquer-
aiding under the name of Home Rule,
have given up the idea of beating the
Republican candidates in Oahu and
are seeking to transfer the thick of
their fight to the large island of Ha-.
waii. If they can induce the Republi-
can forces to keep their army of cam
yassers at work here, while they are
quietly saturating Hawaii with their
falsehoods and aspersions, their di-
version may be a success. 1t is al
ways bad policy to use a pile driver
to drive a tack. That formidable piece
of machinery is only serviceable where
there are piles to be driven.
The Advertiser repeats it's advice of
yesterday that, while not neglecting
Oahu or any of the other islands, the
Republican managers pay special at
tention to Hawaii. Wherever the
name of Home Rule, the substance Of
which is only represented in any genu-
Inc sense by the Republican party and
by the existing Republican adminis-
tration, is desecrated by lies of adroIt
assumptions that are only designed to
entrap innocence or ignorance, coinpe-
tent Republicans should be promptly
on the ground to clear the air AMI fur
nish remedy.
The reaction in great cities of the
United States against low machine pol
itics, engineered by men to whom the
color of their coats is Of no Importance
while they can advance their personal
ends through greed and other forms of
baseness, is too conspicuous to be dis
regarded. Especially are renegades
dangerous when they are smart enough
to work unseen and in the dark, while
better citizens pull the chestnuts out
of the fire. This phase of the boss sys-
tenn has been rampant in substance but
very quiet in manner in Honolulu. 1t
is time to profit Dy the examples of
older American communities, where
good citizenship has come to the fore,
under the Republican banner, which is
the flag of the country. Seth Low wlll
most likely be elected in New York.
Crocker is sure of success in San Fran
cisco. In this Territory real home
rule should everywhere be triumphant
and spurious home rule trampled
into the dust by the uniform success
OF the Republican candidates.
Where there is will there is
way and no chance should be lost or
Ininimized for want of organization
ane energy.

The FIagman's Report .

Edgar Van Etten, vice president of
the Boston & Albany railroad, says
that some time ago he introduced a
new system for getting information as
to the destruction of farmers prop
erty along the line of the railroad. A
blank was prepared to give the name
of the animal killed, the kind and other
information. A space was reserved
for an answer to the following ques-
ton:
Disposition of carcass?"

make a report on this blank wrote

THE CHINESE INQUIRY.

We hope that inquiry will not stop at

in heading off prosecutions in the Fed

Some queer things have been done

which the record will disclose.
Let no guilty man escape. Let the
search be thorough and the investiga-
tiGn deep. Perhaps the public will then
learn why there has been so much
success to Oriental crime.

It depends on an acid condition

are forms of it.
