Whit! Voting Has to Do “'lth It.
How many of the thousands who have
been active in the disastrous labor
strikes 0! this summer have had a glim-
mering of what voting has to do with
striking? These men constitute the great
. body of voters at our annual elections.
They must know, if they stop to think of
it, that they are numerous enough tose-
cure any legislation they desire, even to
giving every man 40 acres and a mule.
They have the , powur in their own
hands to do all things. This power, dis-
torted. destructive and desperate, comes
to the surface in times of labor disturb-
ances and shows how great it is. The
strikers say: “The government—nobody
will give us satisfaction. We are not
paid enough. Let us revenge ourselves.
The government is owned body and
bones by the rich. Great corporations
have congress trotting like a little dog
at their heels, anxious to do their bid.
ding, get a bone flung to it and lie
(10va- Letusburn, tear, blow up, kill. "
~ Instead of this tho strikers should say
tothemselvcs: “We elect the members
of congress. We would be ashamed to
tell how many of 11s sell our votes for
cash, for some ranging all the way
from $6 to $100. We said openly that
we didn't care a copper who got elected,
so we could make some money out of
the election. If the legislation is against
us, it is our own fault. We are a little
bit manner and lower down than any
bloated capitalist or legislator alive to-
day, for we sold our votes to elect the
men who were vile enough to buy votes.
We deserve all legislation that is his
tile tons, and more. too, and we shall be
mm to get it so long as we are willing
to sell our ballots. The men who buy
our ballots are in turn bought up by the
big capitalists and do their bidding. if
we chose, we could at any time elect to
office men who could not he bought.
But so long as we ourselves can be
bought we do not deserve anything bet-
ter. Let us take our medicine. "
i Foreign View of Our Labor Wm.
The farther away from a scene of dif-
[dim] bully and trouble one is the more do-
elded opinions he often has concerning
it. Thus foreign newspaper cditms know
more about the cause of our strike and
its remedy than we ourselves do. The
‘ Imdon Telegraph has its say on the
situation in the following paragraph. lt
is to be observed that The Telegraph‘s
editor does not write in an unkind or
cheering spirit Ho says:

"EVENING ‘ssrrmst .
Stage Lilb. ‘
In a cerium paper in The Forum B.
do Gordova goes behind the scenes and
tells what he knows of the average ac-
tor’s life. The tale is alumst enough to
make one prefer street cleaning as a
means of livelihood. Everything is laid
bare, from the filthy dressing rooms of the
stage to the iron contracts with which
managers hold average actors bound. Ac-
tors cannot appear before the public till
they get a manager. If they would cul-
tivate commercial tale ‘ they could
manage themselves, but 111. blue actor in
20 has cultivated his commercial talent.
The actor signs a contract with the
manager. In that it is always stipulated
that if the manager finds the actor in-
competent or clueless, or if he breaks the
“rules” laid down, then the manager
may at any moment annnl the contract.
This contract is not worth the paper it
is written on. The manager may at any
time trump up incompetency or careless—
ness as an excuse for discharging a
playOr he wishes to get rid of.
Another grievance is the wretchedly
filthy and comfortlcss holes, miscalled
dressing rooms, that are behind the
scenes. De Cordova draws a haunting
picture of them. In one theater he knew
of the only water in these rooms was
held in battered old lard cans. The
stages of some of the leading theaters of
the country are disgracefnlly dirty. In
Chicago De Cordova delicately made in-
quiry once how often the stage of a cor-.
tain theater was scrubbed. He was told
in reply that it was never washed. The
janitor did not have time to do that.
011, Chicago!
The average pay of the successful ac-
tor below thc grade of star is not above
$1,200 a year. Out of this he must pay
hotel bills and all but more traveling
transportation in ordinary day cars. He
must clothe himself handsomely and lay
by enough to keep him during the idle
months of the summer vacation. When
all this is reckoned up, it looksas if the
private individual who gets $15 a week
the year round is better oif than the or-
dinary actor. Mr. do Cordova believes
the grievances of theatrical people will
never be remedied until they form an
iron clad nctors’ union and force the-
atrical managers to treat them like free
born white people.
Grape Sir-up.
A new article of food promises to be
soon before the public. It is grape sir-
up, and it is altogether delicious. After
the first crop of Muscat grapes in Cali-
fornia is dispinied of there comes the sec-
ond crop of smaller ones and cullings.
What to do with this has been a prob-
lem. Some of the grapes were dried and
put on the market as second class rai-
sins. If they were any more second
class than those the majority of eastern
consumers are already {ml on, it is to be
hoped they will 111: made into either sir-
up or a bonfire.
At any rate, experiments have been
making for several years past in meth-
ods of reducing greys) juice to grape
sirup for the table. to be used as
maple and cone eirup is. These ex-
periments have at length been success-
ful, and we may soon expect the new
product to be put upon the market. It
has not the thick and intense sweetness
of cans sirup and sugar, which make
those products had for people with liv-
ers. It has the flavor of the Muscat
grape. The second crop of this grape,
from which the sirnp is made, contains
over ‘25 per cent sugar, The grape simp
will be more healthful than the over-
sweet cane sirnp is.
Maple eirup is disappearing among the
good things that were. Grape sirup is
the only thing good enough to take its
place. There is one point, however, to
which we invite the reader's attention
before dropping this sweet topic. Grape
sirnp can be manufactured for 40 cents
agallonwn rich and heavy article, we
are told. We are told immediately after
that wholesale dealers sell it at .830 a
gallon. If this kind of commercial burl-
nese has not 11 tendency to make nation-
alists of pmplo who eat, one would wish
to mildly inquire what would have.
In spite of tho potty diilcrcnccs and
jenlcnsios of Fronclnncn among them-
selves they have Itill'llllpl the strongest
national and patriotic sentiments of
any people. l’rmldcnt Carnot, in the
last specch he made before he was as-

_ “The care 01 the children must no
longer be left to the church and the
street,” says the Philadelphia Medical
Times. The Australian colonies have a
far better system of caring for homeless
and orphan children than the United
States has. The little ones are not herd-
ed togethcr in great institutions, like
chickens in a ponltryrun. They are,
taken to a receiving house and kept till
a place is provided for them in a pri-
vate family. Each neighborhood has a
local Committee connected with the re-
ceiving houses It canvasses the neigh-
borhood and finds out such families as
are willing to take a child to board. The
family's circumstances, its record for
kindlincss and respectability, are careful-
ly inquired into. and none that is not
above reproach is allowed to heard one
of tho waifs. The colonies pay $1.25 a
week for the child's board and furnish
its clothes besides. When the child is
14, it goes towork, a suitable place being
found by the neighborhood committee
that all this time has maintained an
oversight over it. The same ovorsight
continues till the the youth is 18 years
old. The wages earned have meantime
