With the "System" poundiiiK
the life out of the stock markets,
where was Tom I.nwtoii when the
lights went out?
Wonder if the shoe men and the
street car men were in cahoots 011
the strike. Anyhow, both expect
to gain at the expense of the pub
lie s discomfort.
r
Union men are great fellows to
howl for liberty but are very mix
ious that their employers are not
allowed any when it comes to hir
ing and discharging their men.

White tiaiH-T has been boosted an
other 2.5 cents a hundred by the
paper trust. This means finite a
Christmas present to the octopus by
the papers of the coast. However,
the. subscription price of 1 he Review
will remain at the old f ij-tire.

Again 1 lie Review calls upon
Col. Moiiahau to pull the tlitigcis
out of the thinglchoh on the electric
wiles that the lights may shed their
cllulgcnt rays 011 the supikt table
stioiu' enough so that the head of
the house may not mistake a plate
of fried tn.or clams for one of
parsnips.
The street car strike inaugurated
by outsiders last .Saturday night
was a dismal failuie. It was not a
strike of the street car employes,
but one that was the pioduct of the
walking delegates. Hail the cm
ploycs been consulted the icsiilt
tiiiir lit have been different. Out'
side of the mob wrecking a few cars
and the inconvenience to the public
for several days nothing came of
the attempt.
