THE RECENT STRIKES. "The Lesson of the Recent Strikes." forms the subject of an important and timely symposium in the North American Review for August, by four men especially competent to deal with the question—General Nelson A. Miles, who was in command of the federal troops at Chicago during- the recent troubles the Hon. Wade Hampton, United States Commissioner of Railroads Harry P. Robinson, editor of the Railway Age, and Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor. General Miles in his article says:

The condition of labor is attracting the attention of the thoughtful men, not only of this, but of all other countries. During the period of some 250 years of development since the original settlements of this country, the condition of the laborer has changed entirely Up to within the last fewdecades every community had to its westward a boundless territory of rich fields, where the man who labored could at any time locate and establish in a few years an estate amply sufficient for his family or relations and of great and permanent value. All this is uow changed. For the last few decades the tendency has been to the congregating of the people in large cities and towns and a feeling of discontent, unrest and dissatisfaction has become almost universal until the feeling between the man who labors and his employer is at present surely not satisfactory. The employer has too little confidence in his employees, too little consideration and sympathy for his condition, and too little interest in his welfare: while, on the other hand, the employee has a feeling of hostility and predjudice, in many instances amounting to almost actual hatred of his employer. To what extent this feeling has been engendered and promotedby the demagogues, the professional agitators, the men of the press, the forum, the pulpit and the stage, we leave them to answer. The conditions of our country hare been such as to create and promote great corporations, trusts, aud,combinations of capital while labor, on the other hand, has kept equal pace in combination, confederations, labor unions, and secret organizations which control thousands if not millions of men, ex'ending over every section of the country. The former have been and can:be all. controlled by judicious legislation and plain, positive law.

The principal,weapons of the labor organizations have been the strike and the boycott—the st-ike to paralyze industries, effect the suspension of business, and the increase of wages, and the boycott to prevent men who do not desire to be controlled by the labor unions from obtaining work, in many cases subjecting them to serious physical and pecuniary injury. It is a singular fact that strikes have been most violent and serious in the mining communities and among men connected with railways.

coal mines of Pennsylvania,

\Vest Virginia and Virginia furnish New England six million tons of coal annually. Free coal will cut off this supply, as it will be furnished by the •Whitney trust from Nova Scotia. This will seriously affect American interests. The railroads will lose 810,000,P00 in frpigbtSi and American vessels in the coastwise trade $3,000,000 more. This will cause a raise in other freights. Several thousand miners and other employes of coal mines will be thrown out of employment. It will therefore be seen that there can be no good result from free coal, except to the Dominion Government, which will get $730,000 royalty on the six million tons sent to New England and to the Whitney coal trust, which can easily clear at least one dollar per ton, or a total of (6,000,000 on the New England trade.

HENRY WATTEBSOS,

who did more

than any other man in the construction of the Chicago platform, and who in his paper explains that free raw materials have nothing to do with a tariff for revenue only, except as an incident. He adds, "When you hear a man prating about'free raw materials,' set him down as a cowardly scoundrel, who wants to throw dust in people's eyes, or an ignorant fool, whose room were better than his company among true Democrats." Could Mr. Watterson have had the Argut-Sews in his mind when he penned.the above?

"How's that?" I To which, in great embarrassment, Chester replied: "Hold on a minute. I'm talking with some interested spectators."

Whereat the shadow of the big man shot out of sight, and the ladies found that it was useless to remain—there would be no further developments so long as they did—and so they came away, with many a lingering backward look. "But the idea of asking snch a fool question as 'How's that?' Why couldn't the man say what be meant?"

It was gathered, however, that Armitage and Chester had been making some experiments that bore in some measure on the mystery. And all this time Mr. Jerrold was in his quarters, only a stone's throw away. How interested he must have been I

But while the garrison was relieved at knowing that Alice Renwick would not be on hand for the germ an, and it was being fondly hoped she might never return to the post, there was etill another grievous embarrassment How about Mr. Jerrold?

He had been asked to lead when the german was first projeoted and had aooepted. That was fully two weeks before, and now—no one knew just what ought to be dona It was known that Nina Beaubien had returned on the previous day from a brief visit to the npper lakes, and that she had a costnme of ravishing beauty in which to carry desolation to the hearts of the garrison belles in leading that german with Mr. Jerrold. Old Mmo. Beaubien had been reluctant, said her city friends, to return at alL Sho heartily disapproved of Mr. Jerrold and was bitterly set against Nina's growing infatuation for him. But Nina was headstrong and determined. Moreover, she was far more than a match for her mother's vigilance, and It was known at Sibley that two or three times the girl had been out at the fort with the Snttons and ot^er friends when the old lady believed her in quarters totally different

Cub Sutton had confided to Captain Wilton that Mme. Beaubien was in total ignorance of the fact that there was to be a party at the doctor'* the night he had driven out with Nina and his sister that Nina had "pulled the wool over her mother's eyes" and made her believe she was going to spend the evening with friends in town, naming a family with whom the Beaubiens were intimate. Along drive always made the old lady sleepy, and as she had accompanied Nina to tho fort that afternoon she went early to bed, having secured her wild birdling, as she supposed, from possibility of further meetings with Jerrold For nearly a week, said Cub, Mme. Beaubien had dogged Nina so that she could not get a moment with the man with whom she was evidently so smitten, and the girl was almost at her wits' end with seeing the depth of his flirtation with Alice Renwiok and the knowledge that on the morrow her mother would spirit iter off to the cool breezes and blue waves of the peat lake. Cub said she 60 worked on Fanny's feelings that they put up the goheme together and made him bring them out. Gad, if old Maman only found it out, there'd be no more germans fpr Nina! She'd ship her off to the good Sisters at Oreve-Coaur and slap her into a convent and leave all her money to the churoh.

And yet, said city society, old Maman idolized her beautiful daughter and could deny her no luxury or Indulgence. Sho dressed her superbly, though with a somewhat barbaric taste, where Nina's own good sense and eastern teaching did not Interfere. What she feared was that the girl would fall in love with some adventurer' or—what wps quite as bad—some army man who would carry her darling away to Arizona or other inaccessible spot Her plan was that Nina should marry hore —at home—some one of the staid young merchant princes rising into prominence in the western metropolis, and from the very outset Nina had shown a singular infatuation for the buttons and straps and music and heaven knows what all out at tho fort. She gloried in seeing her daughter prominent in all scenes of social life. She rejoiced in her triumphs and took infinite pains with all preparations.

She would have set her foot against Nina's simply dancing the german at the fort with Jerrold as a partner, but she could not resist it that the papers should announce on Sunday morning that "the event of tho season at Fort Sibley was the german given last Tuesday night by the ladies of the garrison and led by the lovely Miss Beanbien" with Lieutenant or Captain Anybody. There were a dozen bright, graoeful, winning women among the dames and damsels at the fort, and Alice Renwick was a famous beanty by this time. It was more than Maman Beaubien could withstand that her Nina should "lead" all these, and so her consent was won. Back they came from Chequamegon, and the stately home on Summit avenue reopened to receive them. It was Monday noon when they returned, and hy 8 o'clock Fanny Sutton had told Nina Beaubien what she knew of the wonderful rumors that were floating in from Sibley. She was more than half disposed to be in love with Jerrold herself. She expected a proper amount of womanly hprror, incredulity and indignation, but •he was totally unprepared for the outbunt that fijlnwail Kiai au trait

formed into tragedy qnecu on tho instant, ami poor, simplo hearted, foolish Fanny Sutt.m was almost seared out of her small wits by tho lire of denunciation and fury with which hor story was greeted. She came homo with white, frightened face and hunted up Cub and told him that she had been tolling Nina some of the queer things thu ladies had been saying about Mr. Jerrold, and

Nina almost tore her to pieces, and oould he go right out to tlie fort to see Mr. Jerrold.- Nina wanted to send a note at onoo, and if he couldn't go she had made her promise that she would get somebody to go instantly and to oome back and let her know beforo 4 o'clock.

Cub was always glad of an excuso to go out to the fort, but a coldness had sprung up between liim and Jerrold. He had heard the ugly rumors in that mysterious way in which all such things aro heard, and while his shallow pate could not quite conceive of such a monstrous scandal, and ho did not. believe half he heard, ho sagely felt that in the presence of so much 6moke there was surely some fire and avoided the man from whom lio had been inseparable. Of course he had not spoken to him on tho subject, nnd, singularly enough, this was the caso with all the officers at the post except Armitago and tho commander. It was understood that the matter was in Chester's hands, to do with as was doetued best. It was believed that his resignation had been tendered, and all tlieso 48 hours since tho story might be said to bo fairly beforo tho public Jerrold had been left much to himself and was presumably iu the depths of dismay.

gone to seo him and been refused admission. Asked from within what they wanted, the reply was somewhat difficult- to frame and in both cases resolved Itself into "Oh, about tho germau," to whioh Jerrold's voice was heard to say: "The german's all right. I'll lead if I'm well enough and am not bothered to death meantime. But I've got some private matters to attend to and am not seeing anybody today." And with this answer they wore fain to b0 content. It had been settled, however, that tho officers weie to tell Captain Chester at 10 o'clock (hut in their opinion Mr. Jerrold ought not to be permitted to attend

dance with Nina Beaubien. He wondered if she would lead with M'" or floItk'Tlowiiwnnrwi'th would even come at all when she learned that Jen-old would be unablo to attend. "Sickness" was to be tho ostensible cause, and in the youth and innocence of his heart Rollins never supposed that Nina would hear of all the other assignable reasons. He meant to ride in and call upon her Monday evening but, as ill hick would have it, old Bloat, who was officer of tho day, stepped on around pebble as ho was going down the long flight, to the railway station and sprained his ankle. Just at fi o'clock Rollins got orders to relieve him and was returning from the guardhouse when who should come driving in but Cub Sutton, and Cub reined up and asked where he would be apt to find Mr. Jerrold. "Ho isn't well and has been denying himself to all callers today," said Rollins shortly. "Well, I've got to see him or at least get a note to him," said Cub. "It's from Miss Beaubien and requires an answer.

"You know the way to his quarters, I presume," said Rollins coldly. "You have been there frequently. 1 will havo a man hold your horse, or you can tie him there at the rail, just as you please." "Thanks. I'll go over, I believe." And go he did, and poor Rollins was unable to resist the temptation of watching whother the magic name of Nina!

wore peeping at their own images, but no boat was there, and the oaptain led still farther to a little copse of willow, and there in tho shadows, stire enough, was a rowboat, with a little lantern dimly burning, half hidden in the stern.

Not only that, but as they halted at the edge of the-willows the captain put forth a warning hand nnd cautioned silence. No need. Rollins' straining eyes were already fixed on two figures that were standing iu tho'shadows not 10 feet away—ono that of a tall, slender man, tho other a young girl. It was a moment before Rollins could recognise either, but in that moment tho girl had turned suddenly, had thrown her arms about the neck of tho tall young man,

The girl hail thrown her arms ahoutthc n-ech of the tall young man. and with her head pillowed on his breast was gazing up in his faoe. "Kiss me once more, Howard. Then I must go," they heard her whisper.

Rollins seized tho captain's sleeve and strove, sick at heart, to pull him back, but Chester stoutly stood his ground. In the few seconds more that they re-

saw

he ought not to lead the germ an, had |uf0id jjer. They saw her turn at tho

brink, and iu an utter abandonment of rapturous, passionate love throw hor arms again about his neck and stand on tiptoe to roach his faoe with her warm lips. They could not fail to hear the caressing tone of her every word or to mark his receptive but gloojny silence, Thoy oould not inistake tho voice, the form, shadowy though it was. The girl was Nina Beaubien and the man beyond question Howard Jerrold.

They saw him hand her into the light I skiff and hurriedly kiss her good night, Once again, as though sho could not leave hint, her arms were thrown about his neck, and she clung to him with all her strength. Then the little boat swung

CHAPTER XV.

Tuesday still, aud all manner of things had happened and were still to happen in tho hurrying hours that followed Sunday night Tho garrison woke at Tuesday's reveille in much perturbation of spirit, as has been said, but by

horrors. He surrounded the post 8 o'clock and breakfast time ono cause a cordon of sentries who had no of perplexity was at an end. Relief had coma with Monday afternoon and Alice preventing tho entrance of alcohol in Ronwick's letter saying she would not any form. Ho had run a "rod cross" attend tho german, and now still greatcrusade against the post trader's store in er relief in tho news that sped from the matter of light wines and small mouth to mouth—Lieutenant Jerrold beer, claiming that only adulterated was iu close arrest. Armitage and stuff was sold to the men aud forbidding tho sale of anything stronger than "pop" over the trader's counter. Then, when it became apparent that liquor was being brought on the reservation, he made vigorous efforts to break up the practice. Colonel Maynard rather poohpoohed the wliolo business. It was his theory that a man who was determined to have drink might better bo allowed to take au honest one, coram publico, than a smuggled aud deleterious articlo, but he succumbed to the rule that only "light wiues and boer" should be sold at the store and was lenient to the poor devils who overloaded and deranged their stomachs in consequence. But Chester no sooner found himself in command than he launched into the crusade with redoubled energy and spent hours of the day and night trying to capture invaders of tho reservation with a bottlo in their pockets. The bridge was guarded, so was the crossing of the Cloudwater to the south, and so wero tho two roads entering from the north and west, aud yet there was liquor coming iu, and as though "to give Chester a benefit" some of tho men in barracks had a royal old spree on Saturday night, and the captain was sorer headed than any of tho participants in consequence. In some way ho heard that a rowboat came tip at night and landed supplies of contraband down by the riverside out of sight and hearing of the sentry at tho railway station, and it was thither ho hurriedly led Rollins this Monday evening.

Chester had been again in-consultation Monday night, said the gossips, aud something uew had been discovered— no ono knew just what—and tho toils had settled upon Jerrold's handsome head, aud now ho was to be tried. As usual in such cases, tho news came in through the kitchen, aud most officers heard it at tho breakfast table from the lips of their better halves, who could hardly find words to express their sentiments as to tho inability of thoir lords to explain tho uew phase of the situation. When the first sergeant of Company came around to Captain Armitage with tho sickbook soon after 6 in tho morning tho captain briefly directed him to transfer Lieutenant Jerrold on tho morning report from present for duty to "in arrest," and no sooner was it known at tho quarters of Company than it began to work back to officers' row through tho medium of tho servants and strikers.

It was tho solo topic of talk for a full hour. Many ladies who had intended goiug to town by tho early train almost periled their chances of catching the samo in their eagerness to hear further details.

But the shriek of tho whistle far up tho valley broke up tho group that was so busily chatting aud speculating over in tho quadrangle, aud with shy yet curious eyes the party of nt least a doz en—matrons and maids, wives or sisters of tho officers—scurried past tho darkened windows of Mr. Jerrold's quarters, tuid through the mysterious passage west of tho colonel's silent house, and down the long stairs, just in time to catch the train that whirled them away city ward almost as soon as it had disgorged the morning's mail. Chatjting and laughing aud full of blithe anticipation of tho glories of the coming german, in preparation for which most of their number had found it necessary to run in for just an hour's shopping, they went jubilantly on their way. Shopping done, they would all meet, take luncheon together at the Woman's Exchange, return to the post by the afternoon train and have plenty of time for a little nap before dressing for tho german. Perhaps the most interesting question now up for discussion waa/who would lead with Mr. BoUiuMTht train WQflt

Jerrold started at the abrupt and unJooked for greeting, but his answer was prompt: "Not at all, sir. You gave me to understand that I was to remain here— not to leave tho post—until you had decided on ecrtain points, and though I do not admit tho justice of your course, and though yon have put me to gravo inconvenience, I obeyed the order. I needed to go to town today on urgent business, but between you and Captain Armitago am in no condition to go. For all this, sir, there will come proper retribution when my colonel returns. And now, sir, yon are spying upon me—spying, I say—and it only confirms what I said of you before." "Silenco, Mr. Jerroldl This is insubordination."

A few more weeks and the Spring and Summer business ot '04 will be history—its most important event—our Great Clearing Sale. We won't speak of the weather, but of the highest grade Dry Goods, in many instances less than cost.

Successful Storekeeping

Does not mean gigantic profit—it means doing business—continually—constantly—selling

seasonable goods—even r.t a loss—before holding them over for many months: We

are successful storekeepers and will sell thousands of dollars worth of sea

sonable stuff at even less than cost, while you most want them.

This is the argument for the great

DISCOUNT CLEARING SALE-

Only two ways to run a business—a right and a wrong way—years of success, of progress, convinces us that this is the right way. Every department manager lias his orders, every salesman and saleslady will be alert, every price is a trade winner.

"Make Hay While the Snn Shines." Is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to the dry goods business. But '"hay making" time is passed— now is Clearing Out time—and for the balance of the season 15 per cent, 30 per cent, 25 per cent and even 50 per cent will drop from the prices of every article in all our departments. Our patrons will buy cheaply. Our stock will be reduced. The object desired— turning merchandise into cash—will be accomplished.
