question with a question:

How a New Hampshire Lad Resented

of the few survivors Of the Fifty-ninth

this story:

sixteen, Sumner Elliott, was a menu

the march to North Anna river he
brooded over it. We led the corps
across the river and advanced ON the
enemy. a rafting musketry fire was

presently young Elliott sprang

he waved his musket over his head
he shouted out in broad New England

undoubtedly. TO force the government 10
comply with socielistic demands in the
matter Of legislation.
In the meantime, unrest among the
British workingmen is growing rapidly,
Strikes and lockouts are in progress In
various of the big cities. The biggest
strike is that of the shlpworkers and
ehainmakers, and this has been going on
so long. and it is thought its cause is
so just, that there is talk Of calling a
universal trades strike in Support of the
shipworkers and chainmakers. and. Also
10 influence the government and awe the
ministry right on the eve OF an election.
The results OF such a universal strike
may well be disastrous to British trade
abroad Already much has been heard
petitors stepping in where British firms
have failed. simply because of the labor
situation. Undoubtedly, a universal union
of trades in England viii possess enor-
nous strength; but in that very strength
may lie its weakness and its certainty
OF failure; for it does not seem that
among the British socialists there has
arisen any man or set of men who have
shown either fitness or ability to use
such gigantic power. either conserva-
lively or with wisdom.

Great Britain's Industrial Crisis.

There can be little doubt that labor
conditions in England are rapidly driv-
ing the working people toward social
ism. II used to be thought that the labor
unions acted as a bulwark against the
eneroachments of socialism, but so great
has been the discomfort. the difficulties Of
securing employment. and the reduction
of wages that 1t would seem that the
socialists have actually captured the la
Dor unions.
One pregnant result of this is the close
alliance that is being formed between
widely separated trades. Under the old
trades-union system, the men of each
separate trade entered into contracts
with their employers, and If there was
dispute that could not be settled by ar
bitration and a strike resulted, that
strike was confined rigidly to that par
ticular trade. Now the movement Is
toward a greater and stronger unionism,
and all trades are to be allied, making
the quarrel of one trade the business of
all, and thus making it possible, too. for
a gigantic strike that would tie Up every
trade in England. In another way, too,
the influence of socialism has been felt
practically It is proposed, now, TO re-
pudiate all contracts between EMPLOYER
and employee that limit the right Of the
employee to insist upon the best possible
terms for labor, or to strike whenever
they see fit, as a means of enforcing
their demands. The contracts entered
into by the leaders of the labor unions
are not to be held valid; the men are not TO
consider themselves bound by the old
see fit, without reference to old agree
ments.
So far has this tendency gone that at
the recent Trades Union Congress, held
in England, 1t was resolved by a big
majority to form national confedera-
ton OF all trades 1t was freely discussed,
and 1t was stated that the object of this
was to make it possible to bring about
universal strike. This is the weapon
that the English socialists have been
forging quietly for years, and Il is now
nearly ready TO their hands 1t will be
a weapon that may prove practically in
vincible. II will not only be able 10
coerce the employers of labor into com
plying with labor's demands. but it will
be able to make its power felt even by
the government itself, and will be able,

From the Milwaukee Free Press.
our one and only Sultan. Hiram of Sulu.
IS now in our midst. and if any visitor
from foreign parts was ever entitled to a
good time it is this sprig of far Eastern
royalty.
Hiram is the right sort and a better
American than some of the frock-coated
gentry that will put him through the
PAGES.
We need not rehearse that he was of In
estimable service to this country in the
subjugatiOn of the Philippines, to say
nothing of his service TO George AIDE in
providing him with the material for his
best musical comedy.
He is also remarkable for being one of
the few officers in the Federal service who
got his job without a political pull, and
because he was actually fitted for it.
True it is, that Hiram, along with his
sultanesque salary. has also put aside the
hectic frlvoloties of the Orient. The foot
fall OF slaves no longer tinkles on his
tufted floors, and the corridors of his
harem now resemble those Of time for
emptiness.
If there ever was a rapid progressive, ."
both in politics and morals, our one and
only Sultan is that one. and II he could
have been temporarily made a citizen we
have no doubt that he would have been
found at Saratoga working for Theodore
Roosevelt.
All the other Federal officeholders were
there. and Hiram would have come in
handy as a living symbol of Teddy's tri-
umphant Imperialism.
Be that as il may, we wish for Hiram
II "a perfectly corking time" while on our
shores. He has it coming. not only for
what he has done for his adopted country,
but for the copy he will afford the BRAIN
tagged journalist.
And most of all, we hope that the great
American republic. of which he is such a
stanch admirer, may not prove disillusion-
ing on first-hand inspection.
In other words, may there be for him no
cold gray dawn of the morning after. "
