WHAT A STRIKE COST.
Chicago Obliged to Divert Money
Needed For improvements Into
Payments For Police Service.

It will never be known definitely
Just what the recent strike Of the
teamsters cost the people OF Chicago.
That the total would run well into
the millions, however, Is conserva.
tive estimate, judging from the single
item of the expense to the municipal
ity foY extra police protection.
Some time ago it was discovered
that the city could add $500O,O00 to
it's bonded debt. and the people au-
thorzed an issue Of bonds to this
amount for specific public improve
ments The end Of the teamsters' strike
found 100000 Of these bonds still
ursold and an emergency strike debt
Of some S365,000 To pay this bill the
council has retired the 100000 Of
bonds and ordered their reissue in such
form that they may be used for general
corporate purposes.
Thus 1865, 0O0-or the estimated
cost Of lowering the two river tun-
nels--goes to pay extra policemen for
defending the lives of citizens and pro-
tecting their property while supine
city administration practically gave
license to the striking teamsters to
make the ordinary business Of peace
full citizens full Of turmoil and haz-
ard.
Money that the people intended to
go into sorcly needed permanent I'M
provements has been diverted to meet
the cost Of lawlessness that never
should have gone to the extent 1t did.
The cost OF this one strike is the
S3G5,000 the city pays for extra police
service, plus what the county has to
ray for special deputy sheriffs, plus
the loss to merchants, railways, man
ufacturers, etc, in business; plus lost
wages to the strikers, plus dozen
other items that it would be difficult
to enumerate. And this only EN-
braces money cost. 1t takes no &C
count of inconvenience to citizens, Of
assaults on citizens, Of the killing Of
citizens.
1t is a tremendously expensive thing
to fight labor war in a great city.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1905-12-30

is published in these columns, COM
ments upon these two land laws.
The Communication clause originally
provided that after eight months OF
residence on a homestead claim a
man could commute" by paying to
the government $1.25 an acre and get
immediate title to his land. After a
number of years of operation it vas
conceded that this clause had opened
the door for much land "cquirement
without settlement, and amid a great
blare of trumpets, Congress, in a
spasm of virtue, extended the time to
fourteen months. What has been the
result of this amendment? The op'
ponents of the repeal of the commute
ton clause have presented specific
reasons why this law should not be
touched; that the entryman needs to
prove up" and get title to his land
so that he can mortgage his property
and with the money buy groceries,
tools, ETC., with which to work his
farm, which may sound well, but the
fact seems to remain that the great
bulk of the commuted homesteads are
not to-day homes,
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1905-12-30

There is a class of people who have
apparently lost sight of the fact that
the federal land laws, from the home
stead law down, and even before the
homestead law, were enacted for the
purpose of fostering the making OF
homes for the nation; they seem to
think, and it must be confessed that
they have successfully put into prac-
tice their belief, that the laws are to
be construed into passing on the title
from the government into private
hands with absolutely no regard to
homemaking. They argue that when
the public domain goes into private
ownership it becomes taxable property
and this helps the country and the
State, and the question is ignored as
to whether men and women go upon
that land and make homes and rear
families.
The following part of the report Of
the Public Lands Commission shows
that the Communication clause at pres
ent is a farce and that land can be
entered under it and almost immedi-
ately added to already large individual
holdings The Commission recon-
mends that the period of residence
be extended from fourteen months to
three years and that the residence be
actual and not constructive, as it Ia
at present. With such law strictly
enforced the evils of the commute
ton clause would be largely obviated.
1t is, however, highly improbable that
if a man actually resided and i'm
proved his homestead for three years

of oklahoma and Indian Territory.
Difference of opinion does exist as to
whether the two territories should be
admitted as one state or whether
they should be admitted as separate
states, but on the main proposition
the preparedness of these two terri
tories for statehood-there is little
dissenting opinion. In fact, the pre-
vailing view is that statehood has
already been too long delayed in the
case of Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. 1t is almost disgraceful, we'll
informed public men are saying, that
these two progressive territories
should be held back simply because
of disagreement as to whether those
unprepared territories, Arizona and
New Mexico, should be admitted. 1t
is high time, many men declare, for
congress to cut loose from the Ari-
IONA and New Mexico proposition, no
matter what form 1t may take, and
admit Oklahoma and Indian Territory.

when you are tired; l was always

IL have lived severely moral life.
But it would be a mistake for other
people to try that, or for me to rec
ommend it. Very few would succeed.
You have to have a perfectly colossal
stock of morals, and you cannot get
them on margin; you have to have
the whole thing and put them in your
box. Morals are an acquirement-Iike

Visitors to the Chinese Legation at
Washington have often been attracted
70 tiny little figure perched at the
head of the grand stairway. 1t is al
ways there when dinner party is go
sng on or when Sir Chengtung Liang
Cheng, the Chinese Minister, is giving
. reception. 1t never fails to appear,
and the uninitiated have been heard to
remark in undertone that it is queer
little figure which guards the head OIL
che stairway.
However, it is very animated some
body after all, for it is no other than
the young daughter of the Minister,
Mise Liang, who, though barred
through the custom of her country ana
Ter youth from taking actual part in
these entertainments, is, nevertheless,
determined to see as much of them as
she possibly can. Perhaps her father,
the Minister does not know she ID
there and perhaps he does, but nobody
knows. for no mention of the fact has
ever been made to him, and Miss LANG
continues to enjoy these many social
affairs from afar.
This dainty little Chinese maid has
been in this country ever since her ia
Their was delegated to represent his
emperor at Washington. She is just
seventeen years old, and until she came
10 America she did not know what II
was to be allowed to go out unat-
tended.
Over in China the women never show
3 their faces on the street, but with the
appointment to Washington OF WI
Ting Dang, former Chinese Minister
members of the legation, and especially
the women, were given greater free

a thought as to the propriety OF the e4

Il COUPLE OF
"HOMES" IN THE
WEST.

Gen. Morgan Neville, a rich pioneer,
and taught the district school. He had
word from France that there was a
chance to regain the Bourbon throne
if he could but get to Paris, but he
had not money enough for the trip.
Gen. Neville lent the prince the money,
something like $500, and the prince
gave in pledge the ring that Miss
Strong now wears. Going to New Or
leans by boat, PHILIPPE got to France
and the rest is history. He regained
his throne and the money lent by Gen.
Neville made it possible. The king sent
back the amount of the loan, told the
general to keep the ring and asked him
to visit him at the royal palace. The
ring Is a pear shaped diamond, set in
black enamel and is naturally highly
priced,

A Ring for q Throne.

Miss Josephine Strong, who was
private secretary at Washington for
Congressman Hawley, has a diamond
ring that was once owned and worn
by Louis PHILIPPE. king of France.
The ring has peculiar history. 1t
will be remembered that PHILIPPE lived
in this country when he was an exile.
He lived one winter in GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, and spent another winter with
