As is the custom in most cigar facto- ries, the cigarmakers in the Kingston factory have always enjoyed the priv ilege of making free "smokee" for themselves. The proprietors of the fac- tory abrogated this privilege, whereup~ on the seventy cigarmakers employed there struck.

REAL sreNs or IMPROVEMENT.

Chicago Record Herald.
 The new fscai year opens with gen uine yronise of industrial and confner- cial. revival. Many signs and tndiea- tions of improvement are reported from the several sections of the country
 Railroads are reopening closed ma chine shops; new coke ovens are being fired in. the Pittsburg district; thoun- ands of men are being re-empioyeds one important railroad finds its buGi- ness increasing so steadily that threatened reduction of wages ts aba ndoned; the building trades in many cities are in aeurishing condition. - AgriculturaIly. the prospect is. indeed gloriously bright. The latest crop es- inmates are as cheerful as any one could wish them to be. and the bankers say that there will be no trouble what ever about financing the moving Of the grain and other staples to be harvested while preparations under the etner- gency currency act are in prcgress. in order Go obviate the possibility of sur prises," it Is felt that this year, at ell events there viii be no need of re- course to the anti-panIc provisions ok the act. The banks have plenty Of money, and no legitimate business is denied proper accommodation on req. sonabie terms,
 The latest statistics of bank failures indirectly corroborate the positive evt- dence of improvement of the above de- acrfptiong. For June the defaults and insolvencies compare more xavorapiy with last years figures than those or any previous month of 1908. The sec ond quarter of the year registers q de- crease of about one-thtrd In f@ilures as compared with the first thrse nnonths. In other words, the ulercan- file "death rate'' is diminishing ana business conditions are becoming more health.
 And now for a sane and rational Presi- dential campaign. without silly ana needless alarms and Slye proph ecies. in the interest of reviving prospefity aa wall aa for the sake of the general fitness and decency of things.
