BETTER GO SLOW.

with but a day or two of enforced
idleness." remarks The Pittsburg Sun,
'the street railway men will have lost
more than the amount they have asks ed
in increased wages and other privi-
leges" There's a world of meaning in
that sentence. which should be taken
to heart by all employees who contem-
plate going on a strike. It should be
a warning to them not to go on a
strike. at least until all other means
of settlement have been tried and fall
ed. When they voluntarily quit their
work they cannot expect to receive pay
while idle, and 1t needs but a short Pc
than they could have gained IL their
employers had given in to their de-
mands.
1t Is not necessary to inquire into
the cause of the recent street railway
trouble in Pittsburg. Perhaps there
was blame on both sides. and as we
understand the matter the strike was
settled by both sides making conces-
sions. Fortunately for all concerned,
the strike was of but brief duration,
but 1t was costly. Some estima ties
that We have seen place the entire cost
at a quarter Of a million dollars,
though it lasted only few days. This
estimate includes the loss to the COM
panies, to the operators and employees
of all grades, value of property de-
stroyed or injured, and all other losses
that may be traced to the strike In one
way or another. Even II that estimate
is slightly exaggerated there is no
doubt that the loss amounts to a very
considerable sum, and the strikers
themselves suffered. Their loss in
wages and salary amounted to little, as
the suspension of business was brief,
but in some cases a strike lasts for
weeks. or even months, and then the
loss falls heavily on the idle ones. 1t
is better to go slow about striking in
these hard times

REPEATING HISTORY.

Those whose memory of somewhat
ancient history has not departed, will
call to. mind the excitement In Eng
land causad by the threatened visit of
the famous Spanish Armada. 1t IL
also a matter OF history that the peo-
pie of England, the private citizens as
we'll 40 the mobiles. had 20 it out and
equip navy to resist and repel the in
yaders, The Queen-we believe It was
Elizabeth--was so parsimonious and
nisgardly that she would not even fur
nish the powder neeaed for the guns
Of the ships. At least, that is our rec
objection, of the history of the affair.
This old matter has been recalled by
seeing 1t announced that the English
people and government are 10 contin-
ual dread Of a visitation from a feet
of German airships. and that popular
subscriptions are being raised for the
purpose CT building fleet of flyers to
repel the invaders. Here seems to be
q repetition Of the perturbation of
something more than three centuries
ago. There appears to be alarm
throughout Great Britain, both on the
part OF the government and the peo-
pie. just as there was when the little
kingdom was threatened by, the terri
BILE Spaniards, and the people of Eng
land are raising the money to build q
defensive airfieet.
Not that we would charge the Eng
hsh government with being too parsi-
monious to appropriate money for the
purpose. but the people either think
the government too slow about acting
or else they feel that patriotism should
impel them to raise money and come to
the rescue of their country. II the
wealthy men of the nation, both noble
and plebean, care to do so. they can
easily raise the money needed to build
all the airships wanted, and In a very
brief time.
Whether there is real ground for the
apprehension that now seems to per-
wade England Is difficult to understand,
but that 1t is there Is beyond doubt.
There seems to be an idea that as soon
oo AcPPCAAh VT EoAlt otuCE nyluB cx-
pert can perfect an airship that will
do for war purposes the Germans are
going to provide a feet and descend
on the doomed nation like a flock of
hungry vultures. The Assyrian came
down like a wolf on the fold" says
Byron. and now we are to expect the
German to come down like an eagle on
an unprotected flock OF doves. We
don't know just why the Teuton should
have cause Of spite or enmity against
the Briton. or whether the Kaiser 10
suspected Of wanting to replenish bis
exchequer by looting London and other
cities. but let the suppositious reason
be what 1t may there seems no doubt
of the genuineness of the apprehen-
sion, and the people are taking time by
the forelock and preparing to make
the atmosphere hot for the coming in
vaders. 1t Is a queer condition of af-
fairs.

WOULD TT BE A REMEDYs

What has popularity come to be
known as .the divorce habit" in this
country may well be also called the
divorce evil, for It is really one OF the
fostering evils OF our social life. and
ii some aspects we may almost call II
s one OF the disgraces of the age. Just
what Is the remedy, IL there Is one,
ana how il may be applied. is one of
It's perplexing features. On this sub
5ect q contemporary says:
The periodical procession before the
courts OF persons who seek to have the
martial ties severed is a severe ar
raignment of our system. In nine out
OF ten cases trivial reasons are eited IN
support Of the contention that the
martial relation Is intolerable- Many
such cases concern persons OF compar-
atively tender age. 1t would seem as
these petty differences, which cause
such unending distress of spirit. 1t
would be worth trying, at least.
] sxsfenl. perhaps. Where causes of mi
NOR degree are put forward as reasons
flor divorce, let the court invoke pro-
STATIONARY period of three months, say,
during which the couple shall strive to
live amicably together. Then, II they
shall not become reconciled, make the
4 decree absolute.
we must confess to some doubts
about any good results from the plan
i cr suggestion here made. If the couple
really desire to be separated, giving
chem three months of probation. and
holding over them the threat of d.
4 vorce IL they fail to be good. would
hardly make them less anxious to be
legally and effectually separated.
II It were possible to make both
marriage and divorce more difficult 1t
might be at least a partial remedy for
the evfl. In some States of the Union
any couple desiring to do so can get
married with about as little formality
or trouble as they can take a buggy
ride, and then in some States divorce
IL about as easy as getting married in
others. There's little of solemnity or
Reconsideration about the marriage and
less in getting unmarried Whether
laws can be enacted that will abate or
even lessen the evil we cannot say. but
THE probation idea doesn't promise
mucn. we think.
