Some day the people will get tired of it and monopolies will bava to "go.” Bat "How long, oh Lord! hew long?” The details to the number of strikes (counting lock-outs as strikes) and the number of employes involved, as reported by “Bradstraot’s” for the fint six months of this year, and compared with that of the same six months of 1886, is interesting, and aftbrds seme grounds for generalization of tba nature and course of thcae industrial interruptions. la January of last year nineteen strikes involved 46,800 strikers. Of ttuea 38,000 are accounted for by striking cqar-makers and glam factory hands in New York, miners and eoke-bornen ia Pennsylvania, aad some Massachusetts shoemakers and Wheeling (W. Va.) nail-makers. Ia January of this year there wen ninety-two strikes, involving 72,400 men. Of thcae 31,000 ’loaphoremen and allied Uaes at New York and viotnity, 8,650 Pennsylvania coal miner* sad 9,846 New England shoe factory employee and 5,166 steam railway employee aooonat for 54,660. In February the total declined to one-quarter of the January aggregate last year and to onethird in that of this year, baing respectively 10,700 last year aad 25,093 this yaar. Ooc-half to the total for February, 1886, ia accounted for by a strike at a Manchester tN. H.) cotton mill In February, this year, over one-third of the total ia explained by etasua railway strikes (out* growth to the 'longshoremen’s strikes) and tha Pennsylvania coal miners' stakes. In addition there were considerable strikes among woolen, iron and steel mill employe* In March of last year tha 50,200 strikes included 21,500 Pennsylvania coal miners, 10,000 New York clock makers, 7.000 New York knitting mill employes and 4,000 Missouri Pacific railroad bands, which aoooant tor 42,600 of the total. In March this year the total waa 16,995, a third of which came from Pennsylvania coalminers and New York City water-front troubles. April last year showed 22,600 strikers, a decrease of one-half from the month before. April this year showed 31,* 600, which was ’just about twice as many ae ia March of this year, the process being reversed ia these two months of the two yean. The bulk of this year’s April •talkers was from tbc building trades and among stove molden af various cities. May was the big month in both yean. In 1886 217,530 men wart out, which was five timea aa many aa for January, 1886, nearly twenty-two times that for February, over four times that for March aad nearly ten times that recorded ia April. The great mass of this aggregate waa bedtaae of the "eight hour” strikes in ao many trades, centering chiefly in Chicago. In May, this yaar, tha total waa 78,618, of which over half waa among tha building trades, 13,000 Pennsylvania coke burners nod nearly 6.000 Massachusetts shoe-factory heads aooonating for three-fourths of the whole. Ia Jana of last yaar the total waa 16,065, of which 15,000 were the locked-out Troy (N. Y.) laundry employee. This June there were only 9,758 strikers, one-third of which were in tha building trades. Tha totals are, for tha six months ot 1886: 169 strikes, involving 363,895 man; 1887,523 strikes, involving 234,734 men. The general conclusions are that the increased number to strikes this year, although involving fewer men, show tba spread to tha habit aa a weapon in tha bands of organised labor.

f Correspondence ot Tbs Indiana poll* Newel New York, July 18.—It to ia tba sHewt night watches tha Now York harbor thieves and tha New York harbor polka are at work. From twenty-five to fifty years ago,the robberia**atonal piracies and tba mardecs to this barber wen to eoasaacu and outrageously frequent occurrence. Aa recently aa tea years since, great organised gangs of river thieves existed. Even leas thaa a year ago, aa a*> taal piracy of a sloop occurred her* I well remember three months’experience to the summer to 1867 among tha vermin cl' these docks and slips. With aa old army companion and a rough waterside character for a boatman, every day or night for that period, we crept ia and out of loathsome places, from High Bridge, at Harlem, down the East river and east shore side to the tea, aad back from the highlands of the Neversink along tha Jersey shores to the palisades of the Hudson. It was rough cruising. We came to know gang* of hnmaas that lived oa tbs water and housed with the rats under slimy pier* Insensibly there grew a companionship between ns and these outlaw* which with some might have easily ripened into permanent mutual interests. The acquiring of the manner, ways, slang and sadden thonght of tbc ill-starred wretches waa all naiaral enough; for forced, or willing, aseociations with this sort of thing easily aad almost unconsciously brings men to tbe lower level, aad the better men seldom influence to their ranks those whose ways are set ia crime. Tbi* too, aside from tbe iascination in outlawry, aad the loyalty in it, man to max, which good people drool abont, but seldom poosese. At tbe Hook dock on East river, opposite the Brooklyn navy yard, where the river turns abruptly and the tide runs savagely; at tbe foot of Charlton street, North river, where the vicious land elements are near, and over at Sooth Brooklyn wham Columbia street runs down to the wharve* we foand, became familiar with, and had many an evideaoe of tbe liking of, swarms of the mart desperate harbor thieves—outside Havana harbor, when everybody is a thief—m the world.

Only the rats, the soaghing of the waters and rnesome wraiths nmain. This extasordinary change has beta wrought by the New York harbor police.

. These harbor police form a portion of the regular metropolitan police of New York, aad ofieially comprise what is known as tbe twenty-fourth preoinct. The captain aad commander is Elbert O. Smith, a maa of splendid physical presence and bearing, an old New York policeman of bravery aad brain* a graduate from tba United States aavy, having also served as lientanant ia the Peruvian navy, that uniting all the necessary requisites for able land aad asval service. whether cralsing abont the harbor or lying at “Pier A” awaiting orders naval discipline and etiquette that would do credit to any man of war are invariably maintained. Tbe steamer is fitted with cabins, offices, officer»’ aad men’* quarters, end white tba regulations permit of men having homes •snore and visiting them when off duty, the regime of the sea inexorably exist* Tbe force consists ot a captain, three servants, three roundsmen, twenty-one patrolmen, aa engineer and pilot, who are also members of tbe harbor police, and ten eirilians, who include tbe stewards and assistants aad tha working craw of tba vessel. When lying alongshore the “Patrol” has preeiaaly the same telephone aad telegraph coi. auctions as tboie ef nay other New York precinct. Officers and men are on duty day aad night in tbe same meaner; steam is always up for immediate movement; the craft does fourteen knots an hoar when desired; and in leas than one minute from the instant telegraphic orders are received tbe “Patrol,” fully manned and equipped, is away from her mooriags speeding to any desired destination. In addition to her duties as a police boat she is a floating fire engine of tremendous capacity, being furnished with powerful engines and fonr pomps tor the most effective fire service at burning vessels, warehouse* or docks and wharve* Though primarily the duties of tba harbor police are to prevent aad punish harbor thievery, their services are required in many other important directions. Running from New York to contiguous resorts an scores ot steamers aad barges to tow, fitted up for tho one of excursion parties. These are frequently the scenes of desperate encounter* and affrays of all manner of turbulence, while the excise laws am constantly being violated.

In tho every-day aad actor ending dnttee of tha harbor police, aside from the anrxtea rendered maritime commerce by the “Patrol” and her crow, tho form is divided into throe sections and four watches. Them watches are from 6:39 ia tho evening to 1 Veioek of the tottovtaf morning; again aatil I to tha afternoon; aad fully aatil 600 to tha ewsaiag. At each of those hours three light bnt strong twenty one foot row bents aro seat oat.

Thirty finer man physically, er for that matter mentally and all that pertains to manly habit* were never got together. -It has been my tortnae to twenty yean of newspaper labor and travel to come upon fine men in ail celling* Bnt them splendid fellows overtop them all. They are not ward policemen, the outgrowth of saloon politics; but nearly ovary man bas n record of poaitfve heroism behind him. Beside* they aro most all of waterside birth and training.

ttve harbor police, were It not for the opportunity of profit throagh tho junkmon and other knaves of far more pretentious character. I oonld point ont to yon score# of palatial mansions in New York and Brooklyn, built on tbe profits of this thievery. The police know these men; know they are “fence*” for harbor thieves; and the name, address, foil description and record of every man in the remotest degree connected with the robbery or disposal of pirated goods, is in their possession, bnt they can do nothing without evidence, and the “fences” and junkmen snap their finger* and laugh in their very face*. Them more vioious scoundrel* have it all their own Way. Most of them are licensed. The thief must tell to them at their terms, aod is redly in their power; for a threat or hint of diaeloenre to the harbor polioe will always close a bargain agreeably. It can never be proven that the goods were improperly purchased, for the canny buyer will ■olemaly secure an advance oath that they were honestly got and this is often reduced to writing. Nor can proof against the thief himeelf often be had. Cotton, eager, coffee, oil, hawsers, anchors aad a hundred other things of value, are anybody’s goods trhen oat ot tb« original, and in no branded or nnmarked packages. “Fenee,” thief, harbor police and judge all know with abeolnte certaintv that these are thieves, and these are stolen goods; bnt without proof the thieves can only be warned and the booty

confiscated.

Tha favorite working houn of harbor thieves aro between midnight and morning, and in dense fog*. Then, with stolen boats and rat-lined muffled oars and row-looks, and two er throe men to each boat, they rapidly seek their “slag,” as their booty is called’ Ot late they seldom resort to outright piracy.

Bat there are those at hand shrewder than they, and vigilant aad merciless. Woe to the harbor thief, junkman turned thief, dishonest watchman or tricky sailor caught to the act Death follows resistance, broken heads are certain; and sentences of fifteen, twenty and thirty years are as rare as truth or time. Punishment given for these discovered offenses is simply terribl* It has so nearly annihilated this tort of crime that there is precttoallv no longer profit or romance ia it. And in this very illnstratioa of the resalts of absolute system followed by utter inexorableness is something tor tbe sentimental social scientists to ponder over. It thirty men who give no mercy to the most desperate and reekleee form ef fascinating crime can practically exterminate it, where area, conditions and opportunity give it better ebsnee of increase than anywhere else in Uw world, what might not result from like effort and inexorablenera directed toward the nropreeston of all other phases of vice and
