8TRIKKS.
The strike of the street car drivers in
Detroit has assumed serious propor
tions, the strikers being joined by
several thousand men who are in sympa
thy. The streets are barracaded in
places, and travel completely suspended,
as there are not enough policemen to
protect the cars and the new men who
take the strikers’ places Tills strike
will probably end as all such affairs t^o,
In disaster to the strikers, for, however
cheap men may be forced to work, thero
are always men whose necessities impel
them to offer to work cheaper.
As population grows denser the strug
gle for bread becomes intensified, and it
is a question of the survival of the fit
test; that is, the man who can come the
nearest to working for nothing and find
ing himself.!
This condition, which is commonly
but erroneously called the fight of la
bor against capital, is brought about by
the congestion of population in the great
cities, whereby there are ten men who
need to earn their bread for every place
that is open.
('under such conditions, the lowest
bidder gets the place, and this continues
until starvation wages arc reached, and
a strike is the consequence.
I Jut it is an error to suppose that capi
tal always reaps a benefit from the low
ering of wages.
RUSSIA AND THK JEWS.
From England the czar has received
numerously signed petitions in regard
both to the exile system and the perse
cution of the Jews, and he is reported
to have been greatly incensed and to
have treated the victims of his displeas
ure more harshly afterwards than be
fore. And now thero is being prepared
in this country a monster petition un
der the direction of what is called the
Siberian Exile petition association.
Nearly 200,000 names have been signed
already, and tiie intention is to obtain
300,000 more before the petition is final
ly forwarded. And when the czar re
ceives the petition he will probably
toss it into his waste basket or return
it unopened and hasten to sign the
sentences of another batch of exiles.
The more the world sees of the Ro
manoffs, the raorO inevi able appears to
be the unwelcome conclusion that the
only hope for Russia lies imbedded iu a
can of dynamite. It seems a well-nigh
hopeless undertaking to seek to bring
about reform through outsido infitience.
The Russian autocrat is perhaps less
amenable to such influence than any
other human being. He is a bc’iever in
the divine right and infallibility of
kings. Unfavorable criticisms of bis
methods by his subjects lie regards as
troason. The protests of foreigners lie
I treats w’itli contemptuous indifference.

The returns for capital invested grow
daily smaller, and more precarious, and
it is only the ignorance of labor that
leads to the belief that the capital is fat
tening on the misfortune of the half

the rapids towards destruction, and the
only relief is to got out of the current;
in other.words, to relieve the conges

A sensation has developed in the con
test for the mayoralty in Montgomery,
Ala. The Alabama Baptist, published

some it Is feared there will bo trouble

Politics are getting rod hot In tho
Florida legislature, and charges of
bribery are beiug made. It was an

lan had offered John L. Bryant $100 to
vote against Senator Call, and Xewlan
denounced it as an infamous lie. Flor
ida legislators must belong to the two-
for-a-quartcr variety if such a sum as
$100 is thought to bo sufficient to buy
them. $1,000 Is a fair price for a vote
in a close and important contest. Mr.

Keely has so far failed to make his
motor “mote,” but he makes the En
glisli language get up and dust to keep
itself distinguishable from Volapuk, as
will be seen from the following explana
tion: “1 am making a sympathetic har
ness for tho polar terrestrial force—first,
by exciting the sympathetic concordant
force that exists in tho corpuscular in-
stertial domain, which is concordant to
it; and, second, after the concordance is
established, by ncgatizlng the thirds,
sixths and ninths of this concordance,
thereby inducing high velocities with
great power by intermittent negatiou, ns
associated with tho dominant thirds.
Again, take away the sympathetic latent
force that all matter is impregnated
with tho connective link between the
finite and the infinite would be dissoci
ated and gravity would be neutralized,
thereby bringing all visible and invisible
aggregations back into the great etheric
realm.”

will use Tom Watson's letter against
him, raising the cry that he can't control

The habit that lawyers have got into
of objecting to everything from tho
other side was Illustrated In tho Dodd
murder trial in Atlanta Tuesday, in
which Col. Martin read from tho Uihlo:
"Whoso sheddetli man’s blood, by man
shall Ills blood ho shed." This was ob
jected to by the defendant's counsel,
and the judgo ruled: “If Col. Martin
desires to mako that a part of his
speech thero can ho no reasonable ob
jection. It is not yet out of order to
read the Bible.’’
It is the teaching of history that pres
idential jaunts are not favorable to tiie
political fortunes of candidates who ro-
sort to that method of enhancing tliclr
chances for renomination. The result
of Mr. Hayes’ itinerary and the melan
choly failure of Androw Johnson to se
cure an indorsement by “swinging
around tho circle,’' arc still fresh in the
public mind. The precedents are against
Mr. Harrison, and tiio prospect is that
the rule will not he violated in his case.
