 Perhaps the quietest strike that ever occurred in Waterbury, or for that matter in the country, is that of the Buffers and Polishers' union at the Clock shop. So far as can be learned there is no material change in the sit uation in the past week. The strik- CTS appear confident of eventual sue cess, are receiving their strike benefits regularly and to judge from appear ances must have some foundation for their belief that matters will be ad- justed.
 Notwithstanding the extreme heat of Monday evening the meeting of the Central Labor union was largely at tended and proved a most interest ing and exciting session. Delegates from locals who had an idea that the central body was formed for the sim, pie purpose of affording them assist ance in time of trouble and that wheT such trouble was settled their duties to the central body ceased, doubtless had a rude awakening. Complete re ports as regards Labor day were no given in, but it is certain that the af fair was q success, financially as vel as otherwise.

Tn chief opponents of the capitalists vii be United States Senator Mark Han na and ex-President Cleveland. Arch bishop Ireland of St Paul and Bishol Potter of New York will also be in vited to attend.
 There are a great many people wh believe that the strike is relic of past age That is not so. Tn strike is really part and parcel of tn development of the highest civiliza ton. There are no strikes in bal barrie countries. No one ever. heard o a strike in China, Africa or India Tn inhabitants of those countries are cor tented to accept their condition a fixed. They never protest. Americ in the greatest degree represents tn advance of civilization, and as a const quence there are more strikes i America than in any other country 0 earth. It must not be inferred though, that highly cil ilized nation want strikes. On the contrary, th general desire is to avoid them.-Joh Mitchell.
