Outside of the old slaveholding
states the Democrats control only
two state legisla lures, those Of
Colorado and Nevada. The Repub-
lien governors in the Union at large
number Is and the Democratic
governors only 10. The only states
outside of the southern group which
have Democratic governors are
Rhode Island, Nevada, California
and Oregon. Rhode Island is
normally Republic, having given a
majority for the Republican candi-
date at every presidential election
since 1872 inclusive, and having,
with the present exception, had
only one Democratic governor since
that time. The Democratic governor

over the usual strike problem which
crops out among the workingmen.
The strike of $4,000 cotton opera
tives in Lowell commenced Monday
and now the iron bridge workers
threaten to make the most colossal
strike of the year. The different
unions are trying to combine all the
iron bridge builders in the United
States and those Establishments also
which manufacture structural iron.
If all should go on strike the
aggregate would embrace 400, ono
persons. May LIST the day upon
which the great strike would COM
mence.
The unions are contending for an
eight-hour day and sixty cents an
hour, making the wages 81. day.
The manufacturers have offered to
pay 55cents an hour, or $4.40 day.
One would think that this offer
would be accepted but the unions
feel strong and rampant at the pre-
sent time, and it is doubtful if they
will accept the proposed compromise
still, we cannot believe that 400, 900
persons will cease to work May /
because they do not receive $3.50
day. There is so quick a demand
for iron and steel at the present
time that the manufacturers will
naturally yield all they think they
can with safety concede.
Little strikes are developing all
over the country, so there is no tell
ing how long or how fiercely the
strike fever will rage before May ].
One good feature of the existing
situation is that bread is cheap,
meat is cheaper than it was a year
ago, also dry goods. So the strikes
are not started on account of starva-
ton, but on plea for higher wages
and shorter housr. We believe that
arbitration would settle most OF
the existing difficulties, but both
sides are stubborn and therefore
unwilling to yield. The mufact-
urers say they cannot afford to pay
higher wages, on ccount of the coal
famine of the past winter. Coal will
be much cheaper during the current
year unless the coal combinations
are able to maintain Fictitious
prices.
Rude labor will I've cheap during
the summer, as the immigration
from Europe is likely to be enor-.
nous, perhaps the largest inflow in
history. Seventy-five thousand
laborers entered the port of Now
York in March 10, 900 of whom were

The King of England has departed
for Lisbon in his yacht, the Victoria
and Albert. After he leaves Lisbon
he sails for the French Riviera which
he has been in the habit of visiting
annually for the past thirty years.
President Loubet, of France, who
is going to Algeria, will meet the
Ring on his return.
Eng lish statesmen consider it wise
for England to be on the most
friendly terms with France in view
of the dissatisfaction exhibited in
Germany toward Great Britain. 1t
is curious feature in the world g
politics that England and France,
which were continually contending
in war for five hundred years,
should now realize that they are
natural allies and friends. The
greatest minds in England now
think that the war against Napoleon
was colossal mistake and that it
would have been avoided had COM
mon sense prevailed. But George
III was an obstinate old fool who
believed in the divine rights Of
kings, and therefore abhorred new
man like Napoleon.
Fortunate has been the condition
of the United States that it has
never reached the supreme folly of
fighting another nation because it
changed it's form of government.
The tri.color of France has come
to stay, and the once venerated
white flag of France had to go under
before the advancing columns of a
freer nation. Louis Napoleon
evinced profound wisdom in cult
waiting a close alliance with Great
Britain and az it now looks here will
ever be another war between
France and England. milwaukee

Italians. These latter are found to
be useful and valuable on the rail-
roads Of the country.
Judging from the present strike
commotion we do not think the
railroad building will be very large
! this year. The old railroad COM
paines are extensively improving
their tracks and adding to their
equipments, but the new mileage to
be constructed is likely to be far less
than was anticipated in January.
The government will expend &c.,
600, 900 in the construction of the
Panama canal after July 1, and

It is much to the credit of Presi-
dent Roosevelt that whenever he
speaks he utters good advice, not
only for his hearers but for the
people at large. Yesterday he visit
ed the Northwestern University at
Evanston a city on the lake shore,
seventeen miles north of Chicago.
The President addressed the stud
ents with his usual frankness and
earnestness, and said some things
which no young man should forget.
He urged upon the students the
necessity of ::doing something and
being something in this world add
ing that no class and no conditions
are exempt from this rule. There
is no room for the do nothings" in
the United States. He declared mo
young man, however great his
wealth or however distinguished his
position or his family, should be an
idler. He should not allow himself
to be counted among the ''do-no-
things" A republic has the right
to demand from all her children
their utmost efforts to make her
strong grand and useful.
There is no place for idlers in the
United States. We must all work |
and strive to do something which |
will add to the welfare of mankind. |
Some may work for ambition and
honor, and others for money. But
the great point is to do something.
When Cornelius Vanderbilt who in
herited 100000 directed his best
efforts and unremitting industry to
invent a better fire box for the
locomotive, everybody said, "well
donel" He is doing good in his
way and he should receive the need
of public praise. When HelenMiller

fortune spends no small portion Of
her time and her money judiciously
distributing her charities to the Door
and the needy to enable them to rise
to higher and better life, every
body says "Weu done !" because she
could afford to be an ldler and mere
butterfly in society. But either her
ambition nor her heart runs in that
direction. Her good genius per-
suades her to make a mark in this
cold and selfish world, and she has
done it. We therefore say to the
''do-nothings'' Abandon YOUR
sensuous pursuits, and strive to work
for the welfare of mankind.
1t 's the desire of every person in
the United States to do something
and be something before he dies.
That grand ambition has rendered
our nation the greatest in the world.
Though our wealth and our luxuries
have increased enormously it is
pleasing to observe that the very
rich do not shirk their duties. They
are not willing to rank themseles
among the do-nothings and the
ldlers, but seek, to live and act
among men of affairs who move
and influence tho nation in it's
grandest efforts for advancement
and progress. So long as this spirit
prevails the republic is safe, and,
however vast it's territory the United
States will never be decaying and
dying nation.-Milwaukee Evening

ball rules committee has adopted
the principle Of open play and IA a
guarantee of effective action at the
next meeting prohibits the use of
sole leather helmets by players.
Heads are not hard enough for mass
play as at present conducted, and
having deprived the player of his
defensive casque, which was also a
batterjng ram at need, we are bound
to go further and release him from
the obligation of knocking down a
compact group of opponents with
his head. All lovers of sport will
commend this attitude of the rules
committee but will feel that the
matter cannot rest at the point of
good intentions. Two very simple
changes in the rules will bring back
to open game-tirst, the keeping Of
seven men in the line; second, the
increase of the distance to be gained
in four downs from five to ten yards.
This is the irreducible minimum of
reform, and faculty committees and
others in authority should spend the
next fortnight in impressing that
fact upon the rules committee. ...
