" THE great strike is practically at an end. Nearly all the railroads have resumed operations. The terms of settlement are being kept very quiet, but concessions have doubtless been made on/both sides. ~ Vanderbilt has made a donation of $lOO,OOO to the employes of the N. Y. Central, as a reward of their loyalty and fidelity during the strike. No freight trains are as yet running on the L. 8. & M. 8., owing to the stubbornness of some of the men at’ Elkhart and Cleveland. -| Efforts are, however, being made to secure an early adjustment. i : :

"' THE DEMOCRATS of Ohio, on Wednesday of last week, made their nominations for' State officers. R. M. Bishop, -a Cincinnati merchant, was nominated for Governor, and Gen. J:W. Fitch, of Cleveland, for Lieut. Governor. The convention was thoroughly harmoni--ous. Theplatform favors the remonetization of silver, demands the repeal .of the resumpfion®act and the retention of the greenback currency, and applauds the southern policy of President Hayes, but condemns his inauguration. Theticket is a strongone, and has every prospect.of a triumphant election. e 20

~ ToLEDPO now lays claims to a population of over 58,000, If its citizens are wise they will now let.well enough alone, -and turn the cold shoulder to all schemes for producing an unnatural growth of population. . Steady growth and stability are much preferable to spasmodic and unsupportable expansion. Besides, the desirability of large cities is not as great now as may have appeared some years ago. Towns of from five to ten thousand inhabitants, located sufficiently far apart to lend them stability, and judiciously governed, are much more desirable than great cities with an excess of ‘population. - The latter produce pauperism, vice, and immorality; the former tend to the promotion of intelligence and public virtue. We have “facts and figures” to substantiate this proposition. i

The desire for.the strike to end is aniversal. Everybody wants to see order restored. But a' permanent peace is wanted. That can be secured only by a policy of exact justice. If it is the policy to starve labor, then the country must expect from time to time a revival of the troubles incident to strikes. Why not lcok the fact square'in the face, and let the femedy be of such a charae%er as to insure the existence of. prolenged good feeling hetween: capital and labor ?—lndianapolis Sentinel. el e

That’s the point. = The simple suppression of the strike won’t meet the demands of the hour, Measures must be devised to alleviate the condition of our oppressed -laborers. = Abuses must be remedied in the management of large-corporations. C(apital must come down from its high stilts and recognize the just claims of labor. Unless this be done, and speedily at that, the strike of the past week will be a mere bagatelle as compared with what is certain to follew in the near future. S R a :

If the manufacturers and dealers, who make business for the country, eould convert their 10 per cent. loans into ¢ per cent. loans, or cculd make new loans at the latter figure, business would, we believe, revive-at once.— And the.money holders would do better than to hold funds unemployed, as is done now, to a considerable extent. —Lagrange Btandard. ' - True as Gospel. And we believe such'an arrangement could be effected if the proper steps were taken. A convention of manufacturers and business men generally, held in New York city, and attended by leading capitalIsts of the East, would, in our judgment, have an excellent effect. In this way lenders and borrowers would come face 1o face, and the situation might thus be calmly and thoroughly considered. Much of the capital now loaned in the West at 10 per cént. nets but 6 or 7 per cent. to the real lenders, the difference being absorbed by cor‘porations engaged in placing loans.— At 6 or 7 per cent. much of the idle and unproductive capital of the East ‘would find safeinvestment throughout the West. But business men must take this matter in their own hands. ‘They need not rely on bankers, whose interests lie in high rates of interest, and who, as 8 matter of course, will do nothing to afford. relief to the sufR v" m&%ﬂz% ko T .

_* PBOPER USE OF WEALTH, It is a pleasant reflection, especially amidst the events of the past ten days, that among the possessors of great wealth may be found men who are not governed wholly by self, but who have adeep-seated regard for the welfareof mankKind in general, and who use their capital to better instead of hardening the condition of their fellow-men. Indiana can boast of such a man. His name is familiar to the readers of Tue BANNER; his kind acts, his generous nature, his philanthropy, are gratefully recognized by thousands in all parts of the State.. We refer to Indiana’s wealthiest citizen, WAsHINGTON C. DEPAUW, of New Albany. ; ‘We have before us a recent issue of the New Albany ZLedger-Standard, from which we cull the following extract from a statement of Hon. J. B. Winstandley, an honored and influential citizen of Southern Indiana:

“When the sudden panic and crash of 1873 came upon the coantry,.and almost every establishment giving employment. to the. péople closed doors, he said to me that he could not bear the thought of clasihg up the manufacturing establishments with which he was connected in this city and leave ‘without employment, just as winter was approaching, four or five hundred persons. That he would take the risk of great loss, and he kept his establishments running, paying out to employes -$lO,OOO and all winter and spring, which proved a heavy loss to him. - “Since the close of the war, I believe he has paid out more money to mechanics, laborers, teamsters, and operatives, and erected more dwelling and business houses in this eity than any hundred other men in the samelength of time, and has sacrificed more, money in trying to'build up manufacturies here thaa all the others in the city put together.?' . yio

Here we are permitted to gaze upon a picture which gives rise to the congratulatory thought that Indiana may present to the world a noble example of capital dealing generously, humarely, and sacrificingly with labor and industry. 'What a glorious country this would be if only one-half of the capitalists of the land were capable of rising te the noble attitude chosen by Mr. DePauw! There would be no cause for strikes, no such suffering as confronts. us in manufacturing districts, no conflict between capital and labor. 'Labor would have genuine cause to invoke blessings upon capital, and industry would evér be certain of its rewards. v

But Mr. Winstandley does not tell all. He makes no mention of the fact that Mr. DePauw has time and again urged capitalists in his own neighborhood as well as in the East to throw off their unfounded distrust, to banish their fears, to brace up and give their ‘money-bags an opportunity to drive away dull times and inaugurate an era of activity and prosperity. Aye, he went farther. He gave them a practical exemplification of his teachings by embarking in enterprises which the timid persistently refused to touch. And the beauty of all-is, his ventures were eventually crowned with success, his risks yielded substantial returns. He had the gratification of seeing his courage rewarded two-fold: First, in furnishing employment .to thrifty laborers, and, secondly; in obtaining a confirmation of the soundness of his judgment. Juch examples should enlist the thoughtful consideration of all who have it in their power to set the wheels of industry in motion and thus contribute to the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation, i

REDUCE THE RATE OF INTEREST. - The Indianapolis Sentinel strongly urges a general reduction of the rate of interest on mortgageloans. Itshows that business men cannot possibly pay ten per cent, under: the present depressed condition of trade. Listen what it says: i g

. Universal sba%nqtion ‘has ruiined hundreds of business ventures. Depression has settled down upon the people. Retrenchment and economy have been pressed upon every man until he can barely live. It is impossible to lift the load of debt; it remains alone now to honerable citizens to meet the interest. At ten percent. they can not meet their obligations, and ruin is the result. At seven or even eight per cent. the effort to pay would be successful, the good of the lower rate would fall not only upon the debtor but upon the creditor, who would recive quick returns to his demands. Tf eastern capitalists have done this with regard to New York debtors, to the business men of Boston and Philadelphia, by all the rules of eqhity they should be as just towards 6g3e people of Indianapolis. The question is of vital importance. It interests every man who has to yield up every dollar he can get to pay an exhorbitant interest simply because it is 80 specified, or else let his property be swept from him. It will be to the business advantage of thase who hold the mortgages to reduce the rate per cent. It will insure steady payment, it will restore public confidence, and reévive the drdoping financial condition of the city, and pour into their coffers the money that otherwise they would not have realized.. * -* This action is demanded by the exigencies of the times. It will benefit all interested, and it will insure a sense of freedom and secuTity unknown since the panic. There i§ scarcely a block, a building, a dwelling, in Indianapolis that is not overshadowed by a heavy. mortgage at a per cent. too heavy to be- borne. This is the leach forever sucking the life-blood from the heart of every business enterprise.. This is the poisonthat is checking the growth of Indianapolis, and deadening her activity. The call for a change isloud and earnest. It must be heeded and at once.

‘What is true of Indianapolis is true as regards other towns of Indiana where the ten per cent. rate prevails. Lenders and borrowers ought to talk the matter over cilmly and reach a mutually satisfactory understanding.

IT is probable that one result of the recent labor disturbances and riots will be to push old political issues further than everinto the background and to bring promptly forward the great problems of social and political economy on lﬁhe just and righteous settlement of jwhich the perpetuity of our governmjnt depends. The time has come when American statesmen must - devote [themselves to'the study of a new clags of questions, if indeed they have ‘evijr studigd anything thoroughly or with a view to anything but self-advancement. =These questions are thipse great economic and commercial imes which underlie the foundations of all societies and concern the welfare |of all classes. The true way to revive business and place it on a basis of permanent prosperity is to advance at ?‘nce to the intelligent discussion of tliese questions and hasten the day of their wise solution.-—lndi-anapolis Joyrnal. ’ A more timely suggestion than the above qoulds not well be made, and it is to be hpped that “all concerned” will act upon it promptly. Yes, let us set to f#vork in good earnest and with honest intentions to bring “forward the great problems of social and political economy.” The exigencies of the times demand this, and the statesmat;,poliffcian, journalist and thoughtful citizent Who folds his armsandpays no attention to these problems, is unfaithful fo himself and unmindful of the responsibility resting' upon him. A'discussjion of ‘the questions enumerated by the Journal cannet but result in . gopd to the whole people. It will be of practical benefit to everybody. For thirty years the people of this country have talked of little else besides slayery, war, reconstruction, and ofher exciting topics, paying but little attention to economic and commercial questions. During all this time selfish monopolists and ringites have had everything their own way—the people paying no attention to their operations—and now, when the mischievous results of their combinations and plottings are becoming apparent, we can all see the folly of our inattention to matters in which we are vitally intevented. o fex TR

Prudent men who can by any means whatever divorce themselyes from partisan bondage will at the earliest possible moment turn from the contemplation of the widespread vuin caused by the labor commotion. that has swept over the country like a cyclone, and consider its causes, for no efficient or lasting remedy can be applied until the fundamental cause is ascertained. No man who ignores the consideration of cause can by-any possibility discuss understandingly a remedy for evils. He may talk and bluster, but he will only convince those who are compelled to listen to his rodomontddes” that he is a fanatic, a demagogue; one who, taking counsel of his passions, is a fomenter of strife, a miserable charlatan and a nuisance to be abated rather than tolerated.— Ind. Sentinel. e A

All thisis very true; but why not go to work systematically to secure a consideration of the cause and the consequent adoption of remedial agencies ? Newspaper articles are well and good jas far as they go; but action, ACTION is needed justnow. Congress shQqu‘d be convened at once, while things are fresh. The people understand the situation pretty well, dnd Congressmen have had ample opportunity to measure public sentiment and fl_ace themselves in position to execute their constituents’ demands.

Shermiin’s Unpovularity. Mr. Harding, editor Philadelphia Inquirer, Sherman is the most unpopular man in this country; he is bringing. ruin. and want upon the nation. A Philadelphia ‘bank president says *“that Sherman’s course and resumption in 1879 was nothing more nor less than the financial ruin of the nation and the prostration of business, from which there would not be a recovery during the present century.” I asked the bank officer why he did not bring the matter before the cleqring-hoﬁm; and. to this was answered that it would look: like a job of the banks, and the people would not égprmigtgéit.'

It CAAEY BT R X »r<< o _ QUIETING PITTSBURG. Arrival of Federal Troops: -Atiempt to Mob. e atra. g‘ PrrrsßUßG, July 28.— At 6 o'clock | this morning- four trains over the Pennsylyania road arrived, each with troops, and are under command of Gov. Hartranft, who accompanied them. ‘They comprise Gen. Brinton’s Phila-, _d‘ehgiia division, Gen. Gallagher’s di- | vision, Gen. White’s division, and three batteries of United States regulars, There are other trains on the route with regulars and militia, and 1t ig estimated that by evening there will be 3,({00 troops here. . : i ‘. ['hé most trouble on tM way was encountered at Johnstown. As the second section of the ‘train passed the depot at that place it was attacked by a’ mob*armed with stones and pieces of metal, which were thrown at the windows of the cars with telling effect. Volley after volley was poured into the trains, crushing windows and injuring a number of soldiers. Several different attacks were made, the last after the train had passed beyond the. depot some distance. At this point the patience of the commanding officer gave way, and reaching up he pulled the bell rope to stop the train. The engineer .and fireman were under 3 strong guard of sgldiers, and they at once reversed the eggine. In all probability this saved the life of half on board the-train, for at a point just in front of the train a switch had been misplaced, and a car heayily laden with fire-brick placed on the track for the. train to run into and be thrown over the -embankment. When the | train had struck the switch, its speed had been slackened. The enghe, tender and five cars, (two baggage and three passenger) left the track and came in contact with the ear of brick ‘with such force that the rails and ties were torn up and the five cars piled up in & mass of ruins. The bottom of one car rested on the roof of another, and three were thrown completely round and lay crosswise on the track, with the car of brick .crushed and splintered, stopping all.i John N. Hamilton, of the first United States Artillery, was severely injured in the side, and several soldiers were badly bruised by the concussion. The soldiers of the wrecked train remained on the siding till 6 o’clock this morning. :

The third section of the train was detained above the depot by the wreck, and were several times attacked by the mob. ' The soldiers of the wrecked train threw out a picket line, and sueceeded in arresting 100 of the rioters. Of this number 75 or more will be brought here with the military. , The troops which came through on the first trains and arrived here this morning did not have any serious trouble. At several places on the road strikers were out in force, but there was no trouble to the passage of trains.

The first train, as it arrived here, presented a formidable appearance. In front of the engine was a gondola cdr, on which was mounted a Gatling gun, with militia. The engineers and fireman of the locomotive were under strong guard, the soldiers having orders to shoot them if there was the slightest hesitation in doing their duty. Upon their arrival here they disembarked and marched to the Hospital grounds, where they encamped. Their position is on a hill overlooking the railroad and Twenty-eight street crossing, the scene of the encounter of Saturday and Sanday last. = . The strikers have remained quiet, and no demonstration of any kind has taken plag‘}e. It is not known what course will be pursued, but it is thought the strikers will not offer any resistancé when the military start the trains. The local military are stationed at the outer depots of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, and Allegheny railroads. b {i

FIGHTING AT FT. WAYNE. THe Mayor.and Sheriff Attempted to Run a Train, and a Fight Ensues. : Fr. WAYNE, Ind., July 28.—The strikers on the Pittsburg and TFt. Wayne railroad have to-day won two desperate, but bloodless, contests with the mayor, sheriff and railroad officials. About noon a bold and sudden- attack was made upon the strikers by Mayor Zollinger,” Sheriff Munson and Superintendents Gorham and O’Rourke, who ordered them to surrender the passenger cars which they have occupied as headquarters for a wéek. They refused, and a locomotive then moved out of the round house and backed down to where the coach«s were standing. Mayor Zollinger coupled the coach to the engine, which started away. The strikers were for a‘'moment dazed by the suddenness of this move, having expected -the policy of masterly inactivity which has so far prevailed to be maintained to the end. But they speedily rallied, and arming .themselves with clubs,stones, coupling pins, links and anything else convenient, they dashed at the engine and recaptured it, together with the coaches. ‘Several men, flourishing clubs and bludgeons, boarded the locomotive, drove off the: engineer and fireman, and compelled the officers of the law and railway officials to beat a precipitate retreat. The mob yelled itself ’*fairly hoarse with trinmph, and in a brief period had swelled to about 500, ‘all of whom were well ‘provided with \elubs,and missiles. The sheriff soon returned and attempted to arrest the ringleader of the strike, named B, F. Cooper, but was overpowered by the mob, and with difficulty saved himself from injury. The strikers have senf to Crestline and Columbia City for re‘inforcements: Governor Williams _promises the sheriff prompt assistance and a bloody time seems inevitable withina few hours, v 01

ForT WAYNE, July 29.—Late lash} night one hundred section men from Columbia city arrived on hand-cars to ‘ reinforce the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne strikers in their conflict with,‘ the authorities. They are a hard crowd and well provided with arms, Governor Williams declined to send troops, and says the law-abiding citizens must quell the mutinys. The strikers held-a very-large meeting thiis afternoon, and the committee sent to. Pittsburg several days ago reported a, -¢ompromiss tobe impossible. A telegram was, however, received by the .meeting from a committee of strikers at Alliance, Ohio, together with a copy. of a dispatch recelved by them from K. D.Long, advising the firemen and brakemen to return to their work, promising, if they did so, te recommend to the directors at their next meeting to rescind the order making a ten per cent. reduction in the wages of ‘those classes of employes, This message came over the railway wires, ‘and the strikers b!‘:glrded it as bogus and refused to take action on if.

S s L e . On the 25th of July the striking fever broke out in Chicago in_a most 34 et form, the exployen of noarly. all the roads ceasing work simultane.ously. The strikers formed in procession and marched through the city, -inducing workmen generally to join them. They visited many of the lum-ber-yards, brick-yards, planing-mills, shoe-factories, and other industrial establishments,compelling the operatives ‘to quit work and join the procession.. A party of strikers also visited the stock-yards and compelled the workmen in all the pa¢kin§ houses to shut down. Every railroad centering in the ‘city was involved 1n the strike, and no ftrains, except those carrying the. mails, were allowed to depart. There ‘was no violence of any kind. The city authorities had taken -unusual precautions to meet any disorderly demonstration on the part of the mob, and, being aware of this, the latter pro‘ceeded very carefully at whatever they ‘The day following, the strike assumed still more formidable dimensions. Armed mobs appeared in different -sections of the city, visiting the rail-‘way-yards, lumber-yards, and ‘many of . the mills and factories, and compelling the workmen toshutdown. These mobs werenot composed of railroad strikers, but consisted prinecipally of loafers, thieves and tramps,:many of them boys of 16 to 20 years old. Their efforts were directed to stopping all honest labor, no matter whether the workmen were wsatisfied with theirwages or not. Squads of police attacked and dis%ersed these mobs in ‘Several cases, but they would quickly i’::_ther and avpear in other parts of the city. In one or two instances the | police forceg were too small to compete with the rioters and were forced to retreat. The most severe conflict was on the C, B. & Q. road at Halsted ‘and Sixteenth stpeets, where the rioters numbered several hundred. The. police fired into them several times ‘before ‘they could be made to move, the mob defending themselves with pistols, stones and brickbats. Two of the rioters were killed, and one fatally and several slightly wounded, while several of the police wére wounded by stones. With the exception of the slight’ disturbances - occasioned by these vagrant bands, everything was unusually quietinthecity. Nofreight trains was run on any of the roads, and on only one or two were any passenger trains allowed to depart. Nearly every department of business was demoralized. Merchants were unable to forward goods-to the interior, and kept their stores open as a mere matter of form. The express companies 'were unable to receive currency for shipment, and business at the banks was at a complete standstill. -

CurcAao, July 28.—The following was sent at the request of Mayor Heath, and isindited by him. Many of the dispatches from here have greatly exaggerated the disturbance here during the past few days. At no time have the lives or property of law-abid-ing citizens been seriously injured, and but a small proportion of the railroad employes or <£Lher workingmen have heen engaged in the riot by the collision between the ricters and the authorities Thursday and Thursday night. Nine persons, all rioters; have been killed and perhaps thirty more or less seriously wounded. No damage to property has been done: at any time, and but slight interference with business has occurred. The city is now entirely free from rioters, and the strikers are rapidly returning to. their employment. There is no probability of a further outbreak, or any disturbance of the business interests. However, were it not for the prompt arrangements made to Suppress the disturbance, the trouble would probably liave been quite serious. The Chicago journals of Sunday morning publish a revised list of the killed and wounded. The Z'imes gives the names of 19 killed, with the facts confirmatory. The other papers give fifteen Kkilled, and a large number of wounded, and estimate that the lists are incomplete. a S B e T |

" Notes of the Strike. A strike was threaténed at New Or--lean§'. All quiet now. = The strikers maintained their supremacy at, Columbus, 0., last Saturday, in a contest with thelocal authorities. -

Quite a number of prominent strikers have been arrested at different points, among others at St. Louis the Secretary of the International Society. On Saturday, Governor Carroll, of Maryland, telegraphedao the Secretary of war that trains are running on the Baltimore and Ohio without obstruction, and he does not believe he will have to call for more troops. = -

* At Vincennes, Indiaﬁa, the strikers threw up the sponge on Saturday. A detachment of TU. 'S. regulars, under direction of U. S. Marshal Spooner,arrived from Indianapolis. Allis quiet, and business on the railroads was resumed on Sunday. : .

~ Owing 'to the stoppage of freight traffic a coal and oil famine lwas threatened in Baltimore. At Cumberland, Frostburg and other towns in Maryland there was a distressing searcity of provisions as a consequence of the blockade. R

At Harrisburg, an armed mob took possession of the Western Union Telegraph office, and drove out the operators. Subsequently the sheriff,at the head of 1,100 citizens, reinstated the operators, promised them protection, and communication was at once restored. ; \

At Cpmberland, Md., the strikers had everything their own way. Freight cars” were broken open by the mob, and a large quantity of provisions and other things were carried away. Women and children, with bags and baskets, assisted in the depredations. The authorities were unable to guard the property. :

The strikers on the Lebanon Valley road, between Reading and Harrisburg, Pa., burned bridges and cars and tore up the rails. The*fine bridge across the Schuylkill, costing $150,000, was destroyed. The Fourth regiment of Pennsylgania militia fired upon a mob that was tearing up the frack at Reading, killing four and .wounding several others. y :

A Fort Wayne dispatch of the 31st says: We have just entered on the eleventh day of the strike on the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne and Chicago railroad at this point, and the end is apparently as far distant as ever. The strikers are to all appearances more defiant and determined to-night than at any time since the first crew refused to goon duty, one week ago last Saturday night. :

That was a good speech made by the colonel of a volunteer regiment in Chicago just before they moved on the mob.. The men having loaded, he said: “Now, boys, keep cool, and don’t fire until you get the word from your company commander. No matter how, many stones or bricks or even shots you may get, don’t fire until you're told. Then fire low. Aim at the belt. Forward by fours, march!”

The strikers at Columbus, 0., visited many of the large factories and compelled the employes to suspend work and join them. The entire mob, numbering about 2,000, then marched to the Union Depot and placed an embargo on all through lines. At Zanesville, large crowds of strikers and idle workmen marched to the different manufacturing places in the city,compelling the men to cease work. About fifty factories were thus rendered idle. The mob also compelled the owners of the street railway to hauloff thestreet cars. -

On the 26th ult. there was great excitement at Louisyille, Ky., business was suspended, and the citizens organized for defense; armed mobs marched through the streets, throwing stone, smashing windows, andlere~. ating the wildest alarm ; an unsuccessful attempt was made to burn the Louisville and Nashville railroad offices. St. Louis was the scene of numerous riotous demonstrations; mobs marched through the streets, forcing the workmen in the mills and factories to stop work; the manufacturing suburb of Carondelet was taken possession of by the. mob, and largé iron' factories closed up; the citizens were organizing in formidable force for defense. San Francisco was also the scene of much turbulence, the mobs assuming a most threatening attitude;’ the citizens organized a vigilance committee 3,000 strong; incendiaries were busy with the torch, and the greatest excitement prévailed in the city. The strike spread westward into lowa, involving nearly all the prominent railway lines in the State. '

5 About Selling Wheat. South Bend Tribune. . Mr. Aaron A. Webster, the veteran farmer, now treasurer of the People’s Savings Bank, says that he invariably made it a rule to sell his wheat crop as soon as threshed, and taking one ten years with another, he realized: more for his wheat than those who stored and wintered for higher prices. He looked at the matter this way: In gelling his crop from the machine he ran no risks whatever. The wheat’ was delivered, he got his money, and, if he had no other use for it he put it on interest. Had he stored it, there ‘was shrinkage, cost of storage, waste by vermin, loss of interest g the money in it, and the risk from' theft, fire, etc., and the still greater risk that lower prices prevail long after than directly after harvest. Mr. Webster always kept a strict' account of his ‘wheat sales and in'no ten years did he ever fail to realize more than those who stored and waited for a rising market, .which in three cases out of five proved a falling one. Mr, Webster’s experience is worth considering.

Legitimate Products. : Nashville An erican. & - Thedesson we saust learn [from the strike] is that tlgs violence and ‘the class which produce it are not a spontaneous growth. = They are the legitimate products of a cause.

No healthy society produees such growths, They are an evil to be corrected, but to use the knife and vigorous surgery, cutting them,off, leaving the de‘e’plg seated cause untouched, will enfe le the system and-invite a new and more dangerous growth of the same disease, involving the very vitals of society, It is ﬁm&ﬁﬁn%é% the ulcer and luﬂ&smmmm ional ] gmaeh g@mtmi&ﬂb JL S e Kisanded “%guﬁfg @ neg.
