Tilt INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION.
Attorney-General Oluey has often been
ccmed of being a tubservient, thick
lilded tool of corporations. The Bddrest
lie delivered at Brown University allows
that lie lias a profound appreciation of
the Importance and gravity of the prob
lemi that to-day confront American
tateamon. Ai a colleire-bred man
' bilking to itudenta and professors, he
naturally reverted to the position of
the "scholar In politics." Dilating on
this grand field of usefulness and dis
tinction for the young man of ambition,
he said :
"The scholar In politics Is conspicuous
there chiefly by iiis absence so that
- his achievements are rather the sub
stance of things hoped for, than ascer
tained realities. The present perturbed
conditon of the country Is not to be ac
counted for by fire, or (food, or tempest.
The real stimulus is a sense of wrong a
conviction that they do not have fair
play that society by its very constitu
tion necessarily works injustice and
inequality, favoring a fow with not only
an abundance, but with a superfluity of
blessings, while excluding the great
majority not merely from the luxuries,
but almost from the decent comforts of
life. For this state of things they are
not agreed upon the suflicient or ade
quate rmedy. They are but fueling
their way in the dark just now they
are for the repression of individualism,
and in government paternalism they are
following a dim and distant Kliinmer
which they hope will resolve line If into
the sunlight of truth, but is only too sure
to prove the merest igni$ fatuu$. Never
theless. thev keen moving, and with
accelerated step, and in their own be
lief at least, are preparing a revolution
which shall do for the emancipation of
labor what Luther and the Reformation
did for freedom of conscience and what
the American war of independence did
for political liberty. But, be they right
or wrong, be their logic sound or faulty,
he their projects reasonable or fan
tastical, the movement they are engaged
in cannot be escaped or evaded, but re
mains to be encountered and dealt with.
If it amounts in truth to an industrial
revolution, the highest human wisdom
will not be too much for the task of
repressing it, if it ought to be repressed,
of guiding it, if it ought to triumph, and,
in either event, of confining it in such
peaceful and moderate channels that its
results shall be attained without those
excesses and convulsions by which
successful revolutions are too often dis
figured. "For this great work, for these mo
mentous problems, what can be said of
the fitness of the ordinary run of vote
catching, popularity-seeking politicians?
By as much as it is manifest that we
stand In the shadow of great social
changes and that we and our children
are about to grapple with new and vast
social problems, by just so much is
also manifest the crying political need
of the day. It is that men in public
life shall be there not haphazard ; not
adventitiously; not as a sort of round
up to some other career, but because
they have fitted themselves for it by
appropriate education and training,
and by that concentration of thought
and purpose which every man devotes
to his chosen career of life. Except
this be brought about, it is difficult to
conceive how our institutions are to
survive the stress and attain the future
surely has in store for them."
STRIKES.
Albert 8. Bolles, commissioner of the
'x Pennsylvania bureau of statistics, has
prepared an Interesting report on the
subject of strikes, which he believes are
becoming obsolete as means for securing
redress of wrong. As an evidence of the
ineffectiveness of strikes he says that In
Pennsylvania there were last year 53
strikea, In which 17,300 persons were
involved, not one of which succeeded.
The' era of strikes began about 1S80,
although there were many strikes before
that date. In 1881 the strikes in the
United States Involved 120,000 men and
73,081 succeeded. The successes gnvo
great impetus to the formation of unions,
and at the same time made them tnoi-e
dictatorial. In 1880 one-fifth of the
employed persons in the country, or
409,481), struck, and of these 207,303
won and 231,070 failed. From that
year the Btrike as a remedy lias failed
gradually to be effective. The earlier
success of the strike has encouraged
wage-workers to make fyolish dmnands
on frivolous ground and brought strikes
Into discredit among the better class of
wnrklngmen. Then came four great
railway strikes and the Lehigh Valley
strike last year, which all terminated in
the same disastrous manner as the re
cent fiasco by the American Iiuilway
Union. In all theso Btrikes the most
powerful unions of the country were in
volved. It is, perhaps, likely that be
fore a more peaconble means for the
settlement of theso lubor troubles can he
made effective, the strike with its vio
lence and brutality must become obso
lete. The leaders of lubor generally see
that the strike is not the best remedy,
that it Is repugnant to public sentiment
and' (he spirit of our civilization and
country. It is the opinion of Mr. Bolles
that the day of Btrikes has pussed, and
that more peaceable and effective
remedies will he sought for the solution
of the perplexing problems ot the labor
question.
Postmaster Eugene Protzman of
Portland has made a mess of his ap
pointments. 0. A. Hughes, a dis
charged customs officer of the Lotan
regime aud purser of the smuggling
steamer of Blum, Dunbar and Thomp
son, he has made assisstunt postmaster;
and J, E, Epping, a rabid republican,
and also accused of being a member of
the smuggling ring, superintendent of
the registry department. These meu
are proteges of Senator Mitchell and
therefore he has forced Postmaster
Protzman to provide for them, although
that gentleman holds his office by virtue
of having been classed as a democrat
But, aside from all political considera
tions, such appointments in the me
tropolis of the state are a stigma upon
the name and fame of Oregon, already
smirched by the exposure of the Port
land custom house frauds, and some
thing should be done to wipe out such a
foul disgrace. On account of Mr.
Prolzman's undemocratic appointments,
several of his bondsmen have with
drawn and he bus been obliged to
fish around for others.

CHINA AND JAPAN.
It la practically Impossible to obtain
very accurate Information regarding the
Chineso army, hut It is known that
within the Inst few years the Chinese
government has purchased large quantl
ties of improved arms from European
nations and that the national arsenals,
which are under foreign supervision, are
turning out large quantities of arms
and ammunition. From Chinese official
statistic it Is learned that the army is
composed of two parts first, the Flight
Banners, embracing a total of 323,800
men, and second, the Ying Ping, or
national army, containing 030,000 prl
vatcs. The army is divided Into the
active and territorial, the former coir
talnlng about 200,000 men and thelatter
which is much like our militia, about
600,000 men. China could, without
much difficulty, put into active service
1,000,000 men, two-thirds of whom
would he armed with Remington aud
Mauser rifles . The Japanese army con
sists of the imperial guard, which, on a
peace footing, contains 02,441 privates,
314 field guns, 150 mountain guns and
8701 horses. The reserve contains
00,554 men. Besides this Is the militia
of 00,170 men. While the Japanese
navy docs not contain as many vessels
as the Chinese, it Is more effective.
Korea has an army of about 5000 men,
armed with Remington rifles, and 500
cavalry, which have been drilled and
trained by Americans. The militia
comprises, in theory, 1,200,000, but it is
estimated that in fact not more than
12,000 of these are fit for military service
Japan Is decidedly at a disadvantage
geographically, in the quariel. China
entirely surrounds Korea on Its land
side, while the Japan sea is between
Korea and Japan. If Russia espouses
the cause of China, Japan can hardly
expect to succeed In the contest.
LAW AND STRIKES.
Tiik statement of the law relating to
strikes, made at Indianapolis by Judge
Baker of the United States court, de
serves general attention. The case be'
fore him was that of a striker accused
of contempt of court in violating an in
junction, and Judge Baker luid it down
flatly that it was contempt of court for
any body of men to engage in a com
bination "to strike and to interfere with
anybody else who goes to work and to
denounce them as scabs." A request
under such circumstance, Judge Baker
said, was equivalent to a demand, and
he added with great plainness and
vigor: "If in the night time some
highwayman should step up and say,
'Please give me your purse; I will thank
you to do it,' notwithstanding the po
liteness of his language, I would under
stand it as a threat. And so when a
member of a strike committee, with an
angry mob behind him of strikers,
clothed with authority, should say to
some other man in the employ of the
road, 'Please, now, don't you think you
ought to come out?' the court under
stands it as a threat. It is the highway
man's politeness; it means that life
will be made miserable for him if he
refuses; that they will do what they did
out here at Fontanel, break switch
leeks and hurl Innocent men to' death.
That is what it means. They talk
about .being peaceable. Every one
that has any souse at all knows that a
strike would not amount to anything
unless they follow it out by violence.
They know that if they would do what
they have a right to do, decently and
orderly, go about their business and
leave the employes alone, a strike
would not amount to anything. They
know.it would absolutely fail ."
Tiik petition that is being circulated
through the columns of the San Fran
cisco Examiner asking the government
to foreclose its interest in the Union
and Central Pacific railways has already
received 70,000 signatures. The people
of California have become restive under
the unscrupulous, merciless tyranny of
the Huntington gang and any propo
sition to refund the government's claim
and perpetunto the control of the
Southern Pacific and other transconti
nental companies over this public high
way should be rejected. The people can
well afford to have one railroad line
that would net be Biibject to pools and
combinations in utter disregard of
interstate commerce laws.
Tiik famous shrine of Lourdes, in
France, is soon to be visited by a parly
of 150 persons from Brooklyn. Among
the number are several paralytics, and
700 written petitions are to be taken
along for the cure of diseased persons
who cannot make the jiyirnoy. It re
mains to be Been how many miracles,
if any, will result from this American
pilgrimage, which has been blessed by
Satolli and otherwise put in the way
of expecting remarkable things.
Tiik investors in railway securities
are faring badly. I'uring lust year
over 00 per cent, of the total railway
stock in the country paid no dividends.
and over 10 per cent, of the mortgaged
bonds paid no interest, while the out
look for the present year is still worse.
There are 153 railroads in tho hands of

Notwithstanding the "great industry"
of tin plute manufacture, which is said
to have been built up in the United
States, and the marvelous mountains of
tin we hear about, the country managed
to Import over 20 million dollars' worth
of tin and tin plate last year, while the
exports were a small fraction of a
million. These infant industries seem
to makeup in assurance what they
lack in industry.

the Virtues of. Buttermilk. ,.
Concerning the remedial value of
buttermilk, the Medical Atlvitor sa;
that it is of so much worth that it has
gained a distinct place in materia
medica, and is largely prescribed by the
best nhvsicians for the chest and lung
troubles. An exclusive muttermilk diet
has seemed to bring about a cure for
Bright's disease. A proper and constant
use of it will irreatlv reduce and some
times cure the craving for alcoholic
liquors with which many persons are
afflicted. The craving may be satisfied
and the Bystem benellted and strength
eued instead of weakened. Buttermilk
alone will often remedy acidity of the
stomach. The lactic acid needed in
many casus are supplied by it much
more than any other drink or tood. It
is said to alleviate the oppression about
the heart that so many old people suffer
from, and it should lie constantly ururiK
by them. It is also to a certain extent
a stimulunt for the entire system ; just
what the aged need.

PROTECTION FROM LIGHTNING.
Information Furnlalied In a Circular Iuued
by the Department of Agriculture,
Thero Is more danger lu tho country
than iu the city, tho network of tele
fraph and other Wires through the
itrects offering opportunities for surplus
lightning to bo drawn off nud dissipat
ed. All barns, house and other ex
posed bnildings should huvo rods, which
should be ot either Iron or copper.
buildings ou hillsides are especially
liable to bo struck.
Tho top of tho r.fi should bo pluted
it lu somo way protected against rust'
lug, nud it is better if muda with sev.
oral points extending in different dirce-
tions. Tho base of tho rod should bo
sunk deeply enough to rench moist
ground or water. If tho conductor goes
near lurgo main (trains, it should bo
connected with them. But it Is unsafe
to huvo tho rods go nocir small gas
pipes. Tho lightning might molt them
und would of courso sot flro to tho gas.
Thero is no such thing as a definite
protected area from a single rod. Tho
veiy heaviest bolts of lightning cannot
bo entirely carried away by an ordinary
rod. Iron rods weighing 83 ounces to
tho foot uro advised as the best protec
tion, but on the highest part of tho
building thero should be a number of
points spiring upward, which may be
smaller aud connected with a rod of
this weight Lightning generally, hut
not always, follows the point of least
resistance. Tho exceptional cases aro
where the dischargo is too great to fol
low tho line prepured for it. A metal
ml, if smnll, may be disregarded when
tho electricity is following a current of
air. A gorge between two highlands is
less safe thau aro tho localities higher
up where tho air does not go in streams
which, boiuglurger, make a better con
ductor than nny small metallio rod cau
do. Fortunately these discharges of
lightning too lurgo to go through a rod
aro exceptional, and a good lightning
rod well conuocted with moist earth or
water furnishes suflioient protection iu
most cases.
The nature of the ground has much to
do with linbility to lightning strokes.
Laud of chalk formation is least liable
to attract lightning. Clay soil has
seven times this uttruction for lightning,
and suud has nine times as great attrac
tion. A building near a running stream
of water is more likely to be Btrnck, as
tho water attracts the lightning in this
direction. VVlyle ruin is falling, slight
discharges of lightning nre carried down
to earth without injury to trcos or build
ings. There is no (lunger in carrying Bmall
metallio articles, as knives, watches or
chains, ubout the person. They are too
small to have any influence in attract
ing the lightning. Neither can safety be
found by going to bed and trying to in-
suluto one's self iu feathers. The gen
eral rule for safety is not to stand under
trees in storms, nor iu the doorway of
barns, or close to cattle, or near chim
neys and fireplaces. Avoid places where
there is any draft of air, as it is most
likely to be the path taken by lightning
discharges.
Dealrable Poultry.
At the Bhndo Island station experi
ments have been conducted in crossing
pure bred fowls. The various crosses,
both alive add dressed, from this station
wore exhihii-d ut a Rhodorjb;iaiiAij5nl-
try exhibition. The judges ptouonncud
the cross ofJidian Game ou Light
Brahma tho best specimen of dressed
poultry, followed by tho crosses of
White Wyandotte ou Indian Game,
White Wyandotte on Light Brahma,
Indian Game on Golden Wyandotto and
Dorkiug on Dork Brahma. The judg
ment was made iu accordance with the
popular domoud for yellow poultry.
Judging from these experiments, S.
Cushmou, manager of tho poultry divi
sion, reports that tho raiser of market
poultry will not make a mistuko if he
crosses Indian Oaino cockerels or cocks
on Light Brnhma hens or on any vari
ety of Wyandotte hens, or Wyandotte
males on Indian Gamo hens or Light
Brahma hens. It was found that In.
diun Games and their crosses were
harder to pluck and utoro difficult to
caponize than any other of tho crosses.
Tenant Farming,
Statistics for 180!) furnished by the
census bureau lctd tho Sprmgnold Re
publicau to the conclusion that we are
actually facing the unpleasant possibil
ity of the planting in this country of a
landlord system of wide and increasing
extent The aggregate number of furms
iu the New England states lias not in
creased materially in tho past decade.
But in Massachusetts the number of
freehold farm families declined from
35, 206 to 29,370, whilo tho tenant fam
ilies increased from about 3,100 to
6,200. In Maine tho 2,780 tenant fain
ilies had increased in tho decade to
4,731, and tho freehold families had de
clined from 01,628 to 57,381. Iowa in
the decade gained 3,521 owning culti
vators and over 10,500 tenant cultiva
tors. Georgia lost 3, 814 owning cultiva
tors and gained 30,000 tenant families.
lli-at Top Bar aud Spacing.
A diversity of opinion exists as to the
best width and thickness for top bar
and the best space from center to center
when running for comb honey. A num
ber of successful apiarians follow Liuig-
stroth for both comb and extracted
honey. Mr. Dadiuit believes that the
thickness aud width of top bars have in
fluence only ou tho brace and bur
combs und not on the amount of harvest
Mr. J. A. Green says:
Whether for comb or extracted, the
brood combs should be 1 8-8 from cen
ter to center; seven-eighths is tho best
width for loose frames and one inch for
fixed frames. I prefer a thin top bar
Vroperly supported. Without bracing
three-quarter inch is about right.
Lemona In Summer.
Ill hot weather a lemon sherbet or
water ice is refreshing and wholesome.
Tho juice of un orange is a great addi
tion to this ice, and the proportions may
bo varied. Four large, juicy lemons
make quite a quantity when an orange
is nsetl Peel the yellow rind of the lem
ons very thin, and from the orange also,
and put to boil in a porcelain saucepan,
with 1 li pounds of sugar and a quart
of water. Boil five minutes and set
away to cool. When cold, strain into
the lemon and orange juice. Strain the
whole into the freezer aud freeze until
stiff; then take out the beater and the
whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff
froth. Beat well togethers, cover close
ly or put into a mold, repack and set
away to harden. Philadelphia Record.

A TERRIBLE FIGHT.
It Woe In tho Ktokerooiu of the Steamer
r ' New fork on Her llecent Trip.
When tho big Now York was cutting
her way through a thick bunk of fog
Friday night a few miles off the Hook,
Third Engineer Raum climbed down
into tho stokeroom und told Chief Fire
man Ilin. that ho should get up more
steam. Tho engineer spoke in such a
commanding tone that the chief fireman
got nettled and replied thut, in his
ppinion, tho steam pressuro under which
tho ship was then working was suffi
cient for the required speed.
Tho engineer becamo enraged and
with a curse grabbed a 1 2 foot poker, the
handle of which was protruding from
one of tho immense furnaces, and was
about to run tho redliot iron through
tho body of tho chief fireman when
Fireman Wagner threw himself upon
him from behind and bore him down,
thus saving tho life of Ilinz.
Then commenced n terrible !ifo aud
death struggle between Wagner mid the
engineer Tho men wcio ou a platform
from which tho coal is shoveled into
tho furnaces. Botli men aro of powerful
build, with niUKcles of steel. They
gripped each other where they lay and
rolled over and over. Eacli tried hard
to push or roll the other into ouo of the
bluzing furnaces. About 40 coal pass
ers und firemen stood around, bnt could
not interfere, as the chief fireman told
them to keep aloof. Wugner had the
advantage of being naked to tho waist,
wihle tho engineer's movements were
somewhat hampered by his close fit
ting uniform.
Wagner finally managed to get hold
of his adversary's throat, and ho tight
ened his grip until tho engineer's eyes
bulged from their sockets. Then he let
him go. Kuum was almost dead A
bucketful of water was dashed into his
face, and lie revived sufficiently to drag
himself to tho elevator aud be hoisted
ou deck.
Two hours later Fourth Engineer
Peters camo down tho stokeroom and
told Wagner that ouo of tho machinists
wnuted to sen him. Tho fireman went
up to ono of the coal bunkers, where
tho machinist was said to bo waiting.
Here Wagner was attacked by Peters
and knocked down and almost beaten
to death. Ho says that tho first blow
struck wits by Peters, who hit him on
tho right temple with a brass kuuckler,
in consequence of which ho almost lost
consciousness, llicu tun two tell upon
him mercilessly.
Wagner made no complaint to the
captaiu or any of tho officers, believing,
he said, that ho would not get justice
against a superior officer. Ho went be
fore United States Commissioner Shields
when the New York camo into port and
swore out a warrant against the two
engineers setting forth the facts related.
They wero arrested by United States
Marshal Jacobus and Deputy Marshal
Solomou. Their examination was post
poned until Juno 23. New York World.
