The number of strikes that liave been oci'iirring in tlie United States is becom ing aiariuiog. In every branch of trade and labor disorders have been bo fre quent as to cause man to paus-e and won der w here it w ill all end and how. The rapidity with which one strike succeeds another is enough to make the thinking ni in devise some means to overcome the evicting difficulties between capital and laiinr and to make even the unthinking in in wonder why such things should be. Tno queslion aiises to w hat are we com ing and what will be the rerult of it all. Tne benefits, lierived from strike are utjally small. Of course there are ex ceptions, many exceptions in fact, but in the majority ot cases here strikes occur, n settlement of the ditticulty too often bungs with it a feeling of unquietness, of unrest, and a disposition to continue the ai.tagonistic feeling between the work in,; man and hie employer that ia caused by the strike. It is not always possible to bring about an end to mutual bitter ness with an agreement on a wage scale which ia often forced by one side on an other. If the employes lose, they are discontented and only seek ways and means to gain their point. In most cases this simply precipitates another strike. When capital is forced to yield, and capi tal never yields except when compelled to, it is with the grace that is not good and accompanies a demand with which it is obl:ged to comply. The tying: an of railroads, the closing of manufacturing industries, and the lessening of the output of food products can only tend to paralyze trade and the natural sequence of these conditions is invariably an injury to society. It has been stated that society will not tolerate for long any infringement upon its privi leges for which it pays. This statement loses its effect when a railway strike is on and people are compelled to stay at home when perhaps important business demands their presence elsewhere. Quite naturally they are dissatisfied with these conditions and seek to get at the root of the difficulty. And after they find the source of the trouble, what then is the remedy? In the past ten or fifteen years there have been volumes written about labor troubles their cause and effect. Promi nent men all over the country have taken a deep interest in the subject and have formulated plans and presented schemes for the settlement of difficulties. In many cases arbitration has been success ful in bringing to an end strikes, big and little, but alter all that has been said and done, the condition of the labor question at the present hour and the relations ex isting between capital and labor are suffi cient to cause every good citizen to view the situation with alarm. Our own strikes in the woolen mills and the electric line bring matters of this kind closer home to us. In the dif ficulty with the Oregon City Manufactur ing Company the employes gained about 65 per cent of their demands after a month's struggle. The victory was gained through the organization of a onion and its support by and encourage ment from the American Federation of Ltbor, the moat powerful body of labor ing men in the world. Ia the ranks of the local union of textile workers there were men and women. Toward the end all was not harmonious bat through the careful management of its leaders the union held together and presented a solid front. The strike was exceptional in many ways. Last Saturday law the end of the strike on the Oregon Water Power and Railway Company's electric line. Com pared with tbe demands made, the strik ers gianed nothing. Tbe objectionable train dispatcher is gone but the superin tendent is there and in charge. The There is no corporation this side of Heaven that will permit its employes to dictate terms concerning the manage ment of the pmpeity. Any man, or act of men, who control hundreds of thous ands or millions of dollars ought to be qualified to operate their own business without the interference of people iu their employ. Any other mode of carrying on the numtnse atlaira of a large corpora tion would lie business suicide and no level headed uiau could tolerate it for an instant. No wonder, then, that the rail way strike occurred and that the strikers I this road. I Oct. Meanwhile, we come back to the original proposition, "How to prevent strikes?" You bright and brainy men come f irward with suggestions. We will cheerfully allow all the space desired for a full discussion of the problem. temlent, has Won successful, Mont, if not all ot the strikers, will be taken back. Not much lias been gained by the strike. It was claimed as one of the grounds of the strike that the dispatcher caused the bad accident juat Morn the strike but there has been an accident of the same kind since lie left. Many peo ple have been inconvenienced by the strike and the company, as well as the strikers, hs loot linancially by it. As matters stand, little gain can be soon from the strike. It would aeein that something not only could but should he apeedily done to prevent collisions on Kb. IL KS1AIK TKA.NSrKKS. Furnished Kvery Week by the Hackif iiihh Abstract A I'ru4 t o up tnj. ritOSI'KUITY KKAl'IIKS 1KKI.ANU. John D. Criminina, of New York, just returned from an extended visit to Ire land, reports that be was surprised to Bre that country in such a proeerous condition. "People over here," he says, ' have a wrong impression regarding Ireland. The peasants' farina are the prettiest ami present a better appear ance than any I have seen an where." He went so far as to say that he found very little hootile feeling toward Eng land. The wrong impression in America as to the condition of Ireland is very largely due to the continued decrease iu popula tion, as shown in the census reports. Where there was a population of 8.17.V 124 in 1841 there was only 4,45ti,54G in 1901. Even since 1871 there has been a loss of nearlv a million. Hut population and prosperity are by no means synonymous terms, as the fol lowing table of live stock in Ireland shows : 1ST. Hores 4'i (! Cattle 4.1KH:t Sheep 4.417.1'l.t Pigs 1.0.i,r.4 This shows an increase of over tkH),0 0 in live stock, mostly in cattle, during the thirty years when there was a loss of nearly a million in population. In the years in question there has been a marked change from crop raising to stock raising and dairy farming. There has been a noteworthy increase in re cent years in the number of holdings of less than one acre. The growth of Irish commerce since lS'Jti is shown in the following table: !;. inoo.

Mr. Hailey, food and daiiy commissioner of this atate, was elected president of the national as sociation and took a prominent part in the meeting. Oregon could not have a better man in the place. It was due to the efforts of this association that the oleomargarine law was passed that drives that article out of the market as butter by taxing it ten cents a pound. The as sociation is after other adulterated pro ducts and will push legislation to drive them from the markets, thereby milking ''f Hianctiani to 1 a better demand for farm products. The delegates accepted the invitation of 1 Ion. Richard Scott, of Milwaukie, to visit his farm the first of the week. They (omul one of the finest farms not only in Ore gon hut in the country and spent some enjoyable as well as prolltable time there. srntEMK roritT dkcimons. Where the Coiintv Court has jiiriadit tion of an t-stale, its order of distribution is tinal as to all puioses until set aside in a direct proceeding, and if the slate would serine the property through ad ministration it must do so by tiling a claim at the proper time. A man directed to work upon dead electric wires does not assume the rik of injury Iromtbe tiiricnl being turned on without notice to him. In order to prove the existence of a corporation, it must he shown that arti cles were executed in triplicate, one copy tiled with the Sec.eiary of Mate, another with the County Cleik, half the stock subscribed, and directors elected. f9,ts:!.0l0 1 3,327,000 In 1879 there were only Tri.OOO.OlX) let ters delivered in Irelacd ; last year there were over 144,000,000 while the Dumber of telegraphic messages increased duiing the same period from 1,5j!).So4 to 4,903- 075. The deposits in the joint stock banks of Ireland have increased from 33 300, 000 in lSSti to 43,428,000 in 11X11, while the capital in the postoffice savings banks has increased from 2,438,172 in 1885 to 8,058,153 in 1900, and that in the trustees' savings' banks during tbe same period, has risen 2,018,387 to 2.333,083. The prefer ence shown the government postal sav ings banks is in itself significant of the mollification of the hostility to England. All these facts corroborate the impres sion of Mr. Criinmins that Ireland is en joying a period of reasonable prosperity. PAIXK BEGINS HIS CAMPAIGN. It is evident from a Washington dis patch that Postmaster General Payne got busy with the duties ot his office as soon as he was appointed and that lie kept very busy np to the adjournment of Congress. During the session of that bxly which has just closed 2,011 nomin ations were made to presidential post- offices, or enough to more than fill half the offices of that class in the country. The new appointees will be infected by the enthusiasm of their worthy chief and demonstrate that they too are the slaves of duty. Each will leave the prosaic routine of commonplace postoffice drudg ery and devote himself to the higher sphere of statesmanship. The question of delegations, how to get them and how to be sure of their delivery will occupy the minde of them all, and as they draw their comfortable salaries they will be spurred to Lew efforts for the control of conventions and the insurance which such control alone can give. The little force of 2,611 or, to speak ex actly. 2,573, since that was tbe cumber condrmed, may be looked npon as the nucleus of an army whose cohesiveness is guaranteed and whose growing strength bodes ill for such swashbucklers beyond the breastworks as Senator Elkine. Stephen may think that he is a master ful politician, but "General" Payne is not an inexperienced campaigner, and his heavy battalions, all nicely equipped and provisioned, give him tremendous odds against any needy horde of guer rilla recruits. We may hint confidentially that the General will marshal his forces for Roosevelt and add that tbe President will not be surprised at this turn of af fairs. He is fully prepared against any sudden shock of the kind. Record Herald. P.m. a iu u Cu mi I In Fldliin. Now that the Panama Canal seems to he an assured fact it is interesting to note that President Aaron liurr not only built it as far hack as 1S12, but settled the slavery question iu his Utopian America at the same time that is, according to Charles Kelton Pidgin in his fanciful ro mance entitled ".The Climax," which has the the very explanatory sub title of "What Might Have Been." This hook is to be issued by the C. M. Clark Com pany next month. It seems that Aaron Burr had been president four years and was soon to tie re-elected for a second term when be solved the difficulty of se curing the men of bone and sine who could stand the depressing climate of the Isthmus, for builuing the Panama Canal, by issuing a message to Congress in which lie but let us quote the author: "He declared that while African slav ery had been tolerated, during the period of colonization, the time had now come fur the settlement of the great moral question. He declared that the Panama Can J must lie built. He then proceeded to show how it could lie constructed in a manner the most advantageous to the well-being and future prosperity of the country. Tbe number of slaves in the country at that time was abo'H one mil lion two hundred thousand. The Presi dent suggested that a commission be an- pointed to fix the value of these slaves to their masters, bearing in iniml the ques tions of sex, age, sickness, decrepitude or any form of disability. He advised the payment of one fifth of the sum so adjudicated in cash ; lor the remainJer, Government bonds were to be issued, bearing a low rate of interest and pay able in installments the next ten years. Recognizing that human nature is a fai t not easily influenced by argument, he connseled the migration of blacks from the southern states to Mexico and Cen tral America (which territory Burr had already taken from the Spanish) He further argued that those blacks possess ing mechanical knowledge could be em ployed by the Government for a term ol years in the construction of public works, after which time, their services in a sim ilar capacity would he needed in Mexico and Central America, their future oome.
