The fads vvhible it presents have already impressed thetneelves on the honest and intelligent leaden of the work- ingmen, with the result of a deoreass of more than one half in the number of strjkes since 1887, and of more than foot.fiftheirthe number of individnele engaged in them. There has also been a falling off in the frequently of boycotts, that method of revenge and intimidation having failed to produce the results expected from it, both became of Whist interemetations of the conspirmy law and the ill emcees in driving off oostone where it was adopted. The great- est number of boycotts last year was in the trades of the bakers and brewers, the trades which can moat easily secure the sympathy of the people most likely to sympathize with each undertakings. Yet even the bakers and brewers made little by tbeir boycotts. The great majority of them were unetwoessfal or were still pend- ing at the time of the preparation of the report. The effect of the strikes on the wages of the striking trades was not more °moth - aging. Out of strikes affecting 716 estab- lishments, an increase of wages was obtained in only 253; in 422 no ohange was • brought abonteand in 41 there wastanaotual •;decrease after the strikes. -.As to. hours of labor, 64 out of 538 reported a deoreeise, in 48 there was an inorease, died in 426 there wee no ohemge. , These statistics suggest that in the evo- lution of the organization of the trades Home more philosophical and lees wasteful method than attempts at compulsion by strikes mast be devised by the working- men. Serikee have had their day. Though they were •undoubtedly necessary at the beginning to awaken employers to the rights and the strength of labor, they seem now to have served their purpose and to have prepared the way for more reasonable methods of settling the disputes between employers and employed. Already the plan of arbitration is tried to a considerable extent, and with enuoh success. The trades and their leaders have learned a lesson by which they are profiting now and are sure to profit more in the future. -New • York Sun. ne.

Moody went down into the' alums of Chicago to preaoh to an audi- ence of people never seen inside of the churches. After the services he wag4he center of a scene. Half a dozen young men, half drunk and noisy, waited at the foot of the stairs. They insulted the young women who came oat and they tripped up the young mon. They were evidently pre- paring to have some rough sport with Mr. • Moody, for when appeared at the door they crowded around him and jostled him off the lower step. He saw the danger and averted it neatly. He was carrying his overcoat on his arm. Picking out the biggest and toughest of the crowd he said "Won't you please help me on with this coat 7 I'm getting a little old and stoat." The bad young man was unnerved. He reddened, and stepped back. Mr. Moody held out his arms appealingly, and the young man weak. ened. Muttering something that sounded like at oath he hoisted the coat on to the broad shoulders. "1 knew you'd do it. •Thank yon," laughed Dlr. Moody; and he walked briskly down the street, leaving a disorganized gang of hoodlums in , the shadow of the building.--Excluznee. • Tenet/ 'enetered the ' patter where hi3 sinter Mamie was entertaining her best young man.

If we are to at short of this we might better stop who i we ,are, and abandon all claim to nfluen and oonteol •upon the sea.

It is little bett than a repetition of the mistaken polio that prevailed in our early history of buil ing gun -boats that were laid up or sold a soon eta war broke out. The oonntry need a navy that will exempt it from war, bu the only navy that will auctomplish thie a navy that clan wage war. " The cost of building a navy cads n perceptible harden repot a country of ou vast resources. It is the premium pal by the United States fox the. insurance o its acquired wealth and ite growing in dustries. Compared with the interest that are scoured the nate is low. • It is cheap price: to pay for safety. We collo° in duties in six months at a single port greater sum than we could • spend in build ing a new navy f six yeare. For the pas two yeere the Government has paid it creditors for the privilege of discountin its debt before it was due twice the surn we have spent in reconstruction. And th foot meet be remembered that of th amount which we spend for the conetrac tion of a ship, only a small fraotion, per- haps one.tenth, goes for absolutely raw material. while the remaining nine -tenths represent, in one 'form or another, the earnings of American labor. r. In looking back at • the work of tarsi remnietrnotion, begun seven years ago, the country has reason to be congratulated on the emcees of the undertaking. The assaults made with pgore autlacity than judgment, • upon the • four experimental oraisere of 1882 have been met swoon - fully by the performance of the veisels, and an doubts of their efficiency, if such doubts ever really existed, are laid' at rest forever; while the four cruisers of 1886, aesuming that the Petrel will eventually come up to the meek, in their advance over their predecessors, prove that both designers and construotors have kept themselves abreast of • the extraordinary development in ship -build-, ng since the earlier, cruisers were laid down. "In reference to fast cruisers all modern experience goes to show that they are es- sential adieu:iota of an armored fleet, and the propene= of three ()raisers to one battle -ship believed to be sound and reasonable. This would make the future navy consist of 20 battlenhips, 20 coast - defence ships and 60 cruisers, or 100 ves- sels- in all, whioh is believed to be a moder- ate estimate of the proper strength of fleet. Of the sixty cruisers 7.e -4W ta. one are now built or authorized. For 4ail increase in the number of cruisers, consid- ered simply as auxiliaries to the fighting force of battle -ships, we may wisely wait until the latter are in process of construc- tion. ) • " The necessities of our vulnerafole pod - tion demand the immediate creation of two fleets of battle.ships, of which eight should be assigned to the Pacific and twelve to,the Atlantio and Genf. They Must be the best of their olass in four leading charaoteris- tics normament, armor, structured strength and speed. In addition to the bettlenhips the sitaation of the country _requires et least twenty vessels for coast and harbor ,defenoe. At the present time eight vessels of this type are under construction, five of which are reconstructed monitors. "The one problem now before the• Gov- ernment, in the matter of a naval policy, is to get these forty vessels built at the earliest poesible moment. "16 is therefore recommended that the construotion of eight armored vessels be authorized at the coming session, and that they, be of the type of bettle ships rather than t coast -defence ships; the former being more generally serviceable, and there being only three of them now in process of construction ea against , eight of the latter. "To insure the thorough efficiency of the corps of enlisted men in the navy, three things are necessary: First, that it should be composed of American citizens or of those who have declared their inten- tion to become citizens; secondly, that they should have adequate training for their work, and thirdly, that the system of enlistment and discharge should be so regu- lated as to mionre the retention of good men in the service." • The Seceretary recommends that the time of enlistment for naval apprentices be ex. tended until they are 24 years of age, and approves the auggestions that the Marine Corps and the Revenue Marine be united, that a naval reser; be provided for, and that League Isi d Navy Yard be put in good condition. e!

If nationality were, in- deed, to lee the bade of Home Rule, he thought Eleotland would have it before Ire land, whioh had never constituted a single nationality; but each a dap on the part of Elootchmen would be treason to the empire they had helped to form. Home Rule had already leeen tried in Ireland and had failed, and in 1782 the Hoot° Rule Portia- mene hadnbeen upset by the unanimous aoticin of the Irish nation, became an inde- pendent Parliament wits regarded as abso- lutely inconsistent with nationality. teheugh the Union Wed not succeeded go well es in Seotland, •he denied thee it had totally failed, or that Ireland was to be claimed among /the oppressed nationalities.

The Delilah empire gained by the existence of the sen- timent of Scotch nationality, but if mis- guided it might lee converted into a violent and disruptive force.

Aft et a ttme he wandered back to New Orleans, and 8000 afterward his adopted father died. He left no will and Stanley was poor again. The war broke out and he became an ensign in the Union Navy, but did not greatly diatintgaish himself. Ham ing to assume some occtipation by whioh to earn hie living, Stanley turned to jour- nalism, a somewhat facile pen aiding him' in obtaining distinction ea e writer. Em. ployed by the New York Herald, in the Cretan Rebellion, the Abyssian War and the Spanish Revolution, he was engagedin ths kat enterprise When in 1869' he W1113 sent to. find Livingstone. At that time the fate of Livingstone WAS in doubt. For three years nothing had been heard of him, and it was feared he had perished among the tribes of Central Africa. On the 46h of Februag Stanley was sent out from Zenzilearentending to relieve up the explorer by whatever route he had made. The re- lief caravan was a big one, divided into five, sections, 'and composed of 190 persons, of whom 150 were carriers. ' The second in command was a white sailor named Fartlut her, thci mate of the vessel in Which' Stanley had come to Zanzibar. The third was also a -white rasa riamedS haw and a eailer.Enough Arab soldiere were enlisted to proteot the Cereeenew,hich bore, aupplies likely to be needed by'Livingstone, and a vast amount of cloth and beads, the ourrenoy of interior - Africa. Stanley had NO VERT DEFINITE IDEA 'where hewers going, excepenhat, unless for sone particular reasonnhen should Ohange his mind, he would move due west until he reached the leiliji country ,on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. The dietanoe thus contemplated was less then 600 miles• , Progress was slow and it was found that the Officers chosen were inefficient and insubordinate, one of them, the man Shaw, even attempting tbe life of bis leader. Desertions and conspire:nee within the camp enlivened what part of Stanley's time was not occupied in battle, and all the while he and at least half his men were being consumed by fevers. At one time they aeemed to be lost in pestilence; an- other to be avvellowed by ;great armies of opposing negroes. At no time, however, was there any question in Stanley's mind of going on. As troubles multiplied end dangers with tenth trouble, his purpose grew firmer and more uncompromising. Deserters were captured and chained, and once his rifle's angry berren thiew terror into a cedar' of mutineers.'• The people he met with morally and physically were of all possible tribal varieties. Stanley soon beganto REAR OF LIVINGSTONE and came upon him, as he from the first anticipated, at 1Jjiji on the Fanganyika. He had been six months on the way. Their meeting was quite formal at first, bat they became devoted friends, and Stanley to -day reveres Livingstone as he reveres no other man. The effect of this singular acquaint- ance upon Stanleys subsequent career WAS lasting and profound. Liviewetone refused point-blank to return wieeSeanley. He was then sick -dying. Bat he felt that he had a work to do in preaching to the negroes and in hunting for the Nile's sources, and he had determined to be diverted from this by no other hand that that of Death hinn self. Stanley stopped with Livingstone for about four months, and received foam the old men a full account of his last five years' work. It was of vast importance in making over the map of LowerAfrica. Next Stanley returned to Africa to explore the Victoria Nyanza region and found the place where the Blue Nile starts forth upon its long journey to the elediterranean. This journey was full Of perils and was accompanied by much fighting. The recent journeys at the explorer have been abundantly described during the past few days. Cleaning White Kids.
