VAST BENEFITS TO LABOR.
Convincing testimony as to the improved condition of organized labor is
given by--Commissioner John T. McDonough of the New York State Bureau
of Labor Statistics in his annual report.
. According to this report, on March 31
last 827 labor organizations reported a
total membership of 142,670: At the
close of the next quarter, June 30, 975
anions reported a membership of 151,206, and on September 30 1,009 organigations. reported 167,454 members, of
whom 5,702 were women. The increase
in the number of organizations reporting for the third quarter was mainly
due to more complete returns.
Qn March 31 43,631 members of
unions were reported as out of work at
that time, or 366 per cent. Three
months later, on June 30, 27,378 were
returned as unemployed, or 18.1 per
cent.; while on September 30, 23,230
were so reported, or 13.9 per cent.
Reports as to the namber of days
each member worked show that during
the first quarter the average number of
days of work per member was for men,
58; for women, 63. In the second quarter it was 69 for men and 57 for women,
while for the third quarter it was 67
formen and 66 for women.
From the increase of the number of
days each male member of a trade’s
union worked from 58 days in the first
; quarter to 69 in the second and 67 in
the third quarters of the year 1897, as
wellas from the marked decrease in
the per centage of the unemployed—
33.6 per cent. on the 30th of June, and
13.9 per cent. on the 30th of September
—the conclusion is plain that there
has been an enormous increase in the
gross aggregate of employment and
wages during this year of Protection to
industries and to labor.
What istrue of New York is true ef
every State in the Union. In some of
the States—for example, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and Mli_ -mois—the full statistics would doubt©" less show a still larger increase in the

The total sum for the wage-carning
and wage-paying classes of the whole
United States would, if obtainable, present a gain for the year amounting to
many hundreds of millions of dollars.
Gigantic sums are needed to measure
the total benefits already wrought by
the American policy of Protection.

Latest reports from Russia indicate
that its purchase of bullion for silver
coinage has been greatly reduced and.
that hereafter it will use silver only
for subsidiary coinage. Thus the
adoption of the gold standard by this
great country is fairly entered upon.

Present McKinuey’s firm and patriotic attitude in the recent crises
with reference to Ouban matters has
been and ig cordially commended by
men of all parties. The dignified but
"vigorous stand taken by him in the Lee
incident has already resulted in a com>:
plete back-down by the Spanish govFrc
ernment, and his coarse and that of
his official family in regard to the
Maine disaster is receiving a general
approval, and his hands in this trying
moment are being cordially upheld by
men irrespective of past party relationIndian Antipathy to Fish.
At a meeting in Baltimore of the
American. Folklore society: Dr. Washfngton Matthews of Washington read a
paper on ‘‘Icthyophobia,’’ which he described as an antipathy to fish. This
aversion is especially strong in the Nayvajo,-Apache and other Indian tribes of
the far southwest, who will not eat
fish or have anything todo with articles
made in the shape of fish. This ‘‘taboo’’
“. with the Navajos extends to all things .
. . } connected with water. A probable reason why no more children of these
tribes are sent east to be educated, Dr.
Matthews thought, was a fear that they
might be required to overcome this cherished ‘‘taboo’’ superstition, which is as
firmly rooted as any religion. .
A legend to account for this fish ‘‘taboo’’ was* given. There was a time
when food was scarce, and the mountain
Indians had a big powwow with the
river Indians. The result was that the
river Indians agreed to kill no deer, but
live entirely on “fish, and: the mountain
Indians . agreed, to .eat no fish, but live
entirely upon deer. This made‘ food
plenty for both.
’ In the discussion of the paper it was
eat fish because, savage tribes in desert
its scarcity, and this reverence extends
to animal life in water. . Séyveral members thought perhaps this idea conveyed
the true reason for the fish ‘‘taboo.’’
Baltimore Sun. ;
Immigrants and New York.
Ernest Ingersoll writes for St. Nicholas a paper on the Greater. New York
entitled ‘‘Reasoning Out a Metropolis.’’
Mr. Ingersoll says:
The merchants of New. York sent to
the continent of Europe more ships than
the merchants of other cities, who traded mainly with Great Britain, so that
this city was better known throughout
Europe, and her vessels were the handiest for emigrants from France, Germany and Holjand. Agents of the New
York merchants and-of the government,
who were seeking and encouraging immigration, could show that this port
was the most advantageots landing
place for a man who was going on west,
and the sea captains explained that it
was the safest and quickest. port to
make because the course lay south of
the stormy; foggy region north of Cape
Cod, and the city was much closer to
the open sea than either Philadelphia
or Baltimore. At any’rate immigration
increased in favor of New York as time
went on, and. the. stream. of incoming
people swelled until in the decade from
1884.t0 1894 if amounted to about 500,600 immigrants a year, 590,666 arriving in 1890 alone, not counting those
from Canada and Mexico.
He Tricked the Topers.
In the last century nearly every gen
tleman was put to bed . He had
either to drink ‘as others drank or ac

wag 18 years of age, after a day’s hunt
avoided intoxication at dinner by watching until the others were tipsy and after
that pouring each new glass of wine
down his neckcloth, then worn so large
that the chin was buried in it: When
the last of the topers lay under the table, be rushed to his bedroom, took a
bath, dressed anew and joined the ladies
