the extraordinary increase in the receipts
Of the post Offices OF the country, which

Movement Peters Out.

That reasoning accomplished its pur-
pose temporarily. All contracts were re-
pudiated. The general public did not ap-
prove and gradually withdrew its supper,
and sympathy from the workingmen.
who ultimately, as their savings were ex-
hausted. gradually went back to their old
jobs, and about the middle Of October the
industries of Sweden were generally re-
sumed as before.
Unfortunately nothing was settled by
the strike. The old wages and old condi-
tons prevail: the unions. although weak
ened and demoralized. still exist. and no
new basis for the settlement of differ
ences has been agreed upon.
Sweden lost millions of dollars, a sum
that is difficult to calculate. but you can
imagine what 1t must amount to when
you know that the business OF that entire
country was absolutely suspended for
several months. The incomes of three
forths of the population were absolutely
cut of, and there was untold suffering
among the poorer classes. The deposits
in the savings banks were withdrawn to
buy food. and thousands Of people were
compelled to go to the pawn shops.
But there was one great satisfactory
fact. AS have already said, the strug-
gle was attended by no violence. O.

there was a fist fight to termi-
nate a controversy. Perhaps a black eye
or a mashed nose or torn clothing. but
there was no resistance to the law. no
dynamiting. no attempt to injure proper
ty. Although hundreds of thousands of
workmen walked the streets day after
day in idleness. they conducted them
selves with dignity and sobriety. This
was largely due to the fact that the sale
Of liquor was not only prohibited. but
and bar In Sweden was closed. and the
clubs. hotels and restaurants were for
hidden to sell wine to their patrons.
The record of arrests during the period
of the strike is said to have been the
lowest in the history OF Sweden. Crime
was almost unknown. and although multi
tudes were reduced to the verge OF star
walton, there was little stealing and very
few arrests for larceny. The police courts
were practically idle. Those which were
accustomed to have five or six hours bust
ness every day, finished their dockets in
a few minutes. and often did not sit at
all. It was an extraordinary manifesto
ton of national self-control and the
benefits which may be produced by pre-
venting the sale of liquor.
Alabama Prohibition.
There seems to be some msapprehen-
sion concerning the effect OF the recent
election in Alabama. While proposed
amendment to the constitution providing
that the manufacture. sale and keeping
for sale of alcoholic and malt liquors
and other intoxicating beverages shall be
forever prohibited was defeated by a
very large majority. the prohibition laws
enacted by the legislature during the
last three or four years Will remain in
twelve different laws on the statute books
of Alabama referring to the manufac-
ture. sale and shipment OF liquor. and
they overlap each other SO that in order
to get back to the old times when every
body could sell and drink as much as he
pleased 1t will be necessary to repeal
them all.
The anti-prohibitionists are doubtless
very much encouraged ny the recent
vote, but they still have large prohibi-
ton majority I'm the legislature to deal
with. and there is not the slightest pros
pect of securing repeal for several
years at least. IT is true that a reaction
has set in. just like that which followed
the drastic legislation concerning the
regulation Of railroads. The thing was
Gated and supported the anti-railroad
laws were the most active and earnest
In demanding their modification or re-
peal.
gests the Inference that Providence does
not take much interest in the morals OF
Alabama. because the day before the
balloting religious services We're held in
nearly every house of worship and all
denominations joined In q day OF fasting
and prayer to Almighty God TO protect
future generations against the vice of in
temperance by permitting the adoption
OF an amendment to the constitution that
should establish prohibition forever. The
result was a majority Of nearly twenty
five thousand against the object prayed
for, and the leaders of tho prohibition
movement are given the opportunity to
explain why the Lord is on the other
side
