Glorlous October.
The Courant aptly states that “.t is a
sort of duty now for all who can get
into the suburbs by bicycle, carriage,
trolley,or' afoot, to do so. The fall
display came late this year all over
New England, but for the past week it
has been in its full glory and if ever
the adjective “golden” applies to nature
it is right along these days. The show
isa trifle beyond its finest perhaps.
and every day the sombre tints—the
rnssets and sore yellows and ashy
browns—will become more dominant.
But there‘are plenty of maples yet that
are ablaze of rich color and some of
the. oaks are superb in their rich tones,
while the graduations of yellow in the
slum and other trees are infinite and
surpassiugly lovely. This great chro-
matic revel of nature is set beneath a
sky of Splendid blue, such as no Italy
can surpass, and each hour of sunshine
brings new and entrancing effects of
light. .
The year’s autumn carnival is 'some-
thing to enjoy with bated breath, so
transient is it. With Faust we cry, ‘Ob,
and even as the
words are uttered, a subtle change has
a grey cast, a
low, moaning wind. and we turn in-
doors wlth a sigh over the summer de-
parted. Yet this evanessence adds to
the charm of the season, the pathos of
stay, thou art so fair,’
its pissing lends a glamor to its mood
of gold. Men and women immersed in
affiirs, fretted by the practicalities hf
life, should not let a bright- day go by
without devoting a half hour to a reali-
Zation of the beauty of the external

The frost-tippedliuger of October has

The Expense of Strikes.-
The statistics regarding the cost of
strikes to wage workers which have
just. been made public by Commissioner
of L‘tlJOl‘ Carroll D. Wright afford an
objeci lesson which every workingman
in iJLl’ ’ United States should ponder.
in the period of seven years and a
hill covered by this official repOit
2,400,000 men have been throw .1
temporarily out of
strikes.
Dearly
work through
In New York city alone the
loss in wages to employee from this
cause has been more than $6,000,000
since 1827. In Allegheny and Pittsburi.r
wage earners lost more than $7,300,-
000. In Chicago they lost nearly $9,-
000,001". In the twenty-six leading
manufacturing centers of the country
the total loss in Wages because of the
voluntary abstention of employee from
labor has been $35,000,000. The em-
ployers have also lost heavily, but the
cost of strikes to them, which is placed
at $29,000,030, is far less serious than
the losses of workingmen when the
immense resources of the employers
are taken into consideration.
There is an impressive sermon in
these figures. Strikes are war. Com—
missioner Wright’s report shows they
are war of a {rightfully costly kind, and
that the main loss which they impose
falls upon‘the men who are dependent
upon their wages for daily bread for
themselves and their families. It is
safe t) say that nine-tenths of these dis-
astrous conflicts could havelbeen avoid-
ed by the excercise of tact and good
judgment, Astrike, even when it is
successful usually entails a loss far
greater than the, supposed benefits of
victory.
The lazy demagogue who is forever
shrieking about the rights of labor and
the autocratic walking delegate who or-
ders industrious men to drop their tools
and surrender their jobs with all the au-'
thorily of a Czar, me the worst'enimies
of all honest workingmen.

It seems pretty clear- that‘ pugilism of
a high order is practically at an end.
Apparently we 'mi'iy still witness third-
rate pummeling and mauling now and
then, but the great experts of the no-
ble art are anathema everywhere. Leg
islatures are convened in extra sessmn,
armed forces are put in motion by
States, laws are improvised for the oc-
casion, even the general government
issues warning where Federal territory .
is involved.
We see no justice in the criticisms
that are now being passed upon Prof.
Fitzsimmons because of his declining
to accept the amended articles and to
engage in a ridiculous exhibition of
make-believe fighting. That w is not
