During the first quarter of the pres-
ent year, sixty- seven strikes have oc-
curred in Massachusetts, of which four-
teen succeeded, twelve were compro-
mised, twenty failed, six are pending,
and the result in fifteen cases have
not been reported. In forty-two in-
stances the strikes were either ordered
by labor organizations, or the strikers
were members of some union, while
twenty-five strikes were waged inde-
pendent of trades unions.

guthrie's prospects
are brightening
TLore were two railroads announce-
ments made this week that mean much
for Guthrie. When the Ft. Smith and
Western folks said that Pueblo would
be Che western terminus of their lines,
a freight and passenger division was
sssursd to this city. First, because it
is ths logical location, on account of
distance, and second becsuse it hss
been known from the start thst the Ft.
Smith snd Western people were inter-
ested in snd friendly to Guthrie and
would do everything reasonably in
their power to repsy Guthrie for her
efforts in their behalf.
In addition, this announcement
means that Guthrie is to have another
transportation line to the northwest,
probably eetabllshlng communication
with many dtnlrable points that are
now unavailable.
The other announcement of promise
to this city was General Msnager Peck-
ham's statement that the Denver, Enid
and Gulf will not connect with the
Choctaw, thst it is separate and dis-
tinct and will in the near future not
only build farther west and north from
its present western terminus btit will
go on southesst from Guthrie to the
coal fields of Indian Territory.
Wheu, in connection with these
facts, it is remembered that the St.
ixHils, El Reno and Southwestern, now
building from Guthrie southwest
through El Reno and the new country,
is in all probability a Katy extension
Intended to be a nonncction for the line
now nearly completed between this
city and the road's Kansas lines, a
proper idea of Guthrie's rapidly in-
creasing importance as a railroad cen-
ter is reached.
Those in a position to know, have
contended from the earliest days that
Guthrie couid be made the great rail-
road center of aH the southwest and
present developments are verifying
their judgment. The citizens have
made many aacrifices to this end, but
the accomplishment of their desire is
now in sight and the manifold bene-
fits close at hand.
Guthrie is today the scene of the
greatest railroad activity in the history
of the country. Never before have
competing Hues united in a desire to
gsin vantage points In and out of a
city as they have here during the past
two years. This railroad building Is
not the result of accident. It comes
from calculation and design. The rail-
road companies recognize Guthrie's
fitness.
Theso announcements, referred to
above, mean shops, round houses and
division points for Guthrie, the bring-
ing here of several hundred families,
the payment of large sums In wages.
They mean that Guthrie is to grow,
bigger, better and more prosperous.
And men with money to invest are
recognizing this and as a result real
estate values are showing a decided
tendency toward Increase. The prop-
erty owners who have contributed so
liberally toward building the city's
railroad facilities are about to reap
the crop of prosperity that they so
wisely sowed. Guthrie's future grows
brighter each day.
an opportunity
for graft
Sweden's tax on fat men Is furnish-
ing: one of those themes which news-
papers and individuals like especial-
ly to consider—one that can be discuss-
ed in numberless Interesting ramifica-
tions without committing anybody to
anythiug. Tha idea of taxing a man
•according to the spacc he occupies"
appears to the little fellows, blocked
on the sidewalks, stepped on in the
elevators and squeezed in the street
cars, to be only common justice. Thus
the first question, "Could It ever be
adopted?" resolves itself into an enum-
eration of the fat men and thin men in
the governing body. The Chicago
paper which gives most space to the
subject concludes that the measure
would have a good chance oi passage
lu Uie council of that city. Alderman
"Hinky Dink" Kenna, who is a little
man, earning well below the exempt
limit, would be likely to rally a ma-
jority about him, the paper thinks,
though "Bath House John Coughlln
and the other aldermen cf toposlng
proportions would doubtless make a
hard fight ou the other side. It is a
most interesting circumstance that
Milwaukee also, a city made famous
by a supposedly flesh-forming bever-
age, is interesting itself very much
in the Imported project The city is
popularly supposed to contain some-
what more than its share of corpulent
men. An unofficial list is published of
men whose tax under the Swedish sys-
tem would be $4 or more per year, k
other statistician, by the way, has tr k-
en the whole country for bis field, and
f-stimated the tax on national cele-
brities, ali the way from Grover Cleve-
land, who would pay $6.?2, to John D.
Rockefeller, who would be exempt. As
usual it would be hard for the assess-
or to touch the trust-made fortunes.
The complexion of New York's board
of aldermen in regard to such a tax at
the present time might be somewhat
in doubt It used to be a standing
gibe of tire Tammany members, fleshy
men of full hsbit, for the most part,
that their opponents across the isle
were thin serawny, and ill-fed- Cer-
tainly Tammany would have about as
many raaaons as it has district captains
for opposing the taxation of avoir-
dupois. The leader of the organiza-
tion, even with 125 pounds exempt,
would be liable for taxes on not less
thsn 65. The csndidate now making
an independent canvass for mayor,
with the pump as his emblem, would
be out of pocket a still larger amount.
On the other hand, the senior sen-
ator would be almost if not quite in
the exempt class. It is an altogether
idle speculation, but what a noble op-
portunity there might be for graft
among the official weighers and meas-
ures.
interested parties
are changing
While Mr. Chamberlain and certain
other British statesmen are exhibiting
an inclination to forswear their fealty
to free trade, some Australian politi-
cians are beginning to waver in their
loyalty to protection. Senator Simon
Fraser, who headed the poll with near-
ly a hundred thousand votes in Vic-
toria, hitherto the stronghold of pro-
tection in the commonwealth, has de-
clared that recent events have com-
pelled him to reconsider his position,
and become an advocate of free trade.
These eveuts are the results of the
protracted drought, which has neces-
sitated the Importation of foodstuffs in-
to Australia. So long as Australia was
raising abundant food supplies for her
own consumption and for exportation
protective duties seemed to hurt no-
body, but when they began to operate
as heavy taxes on the imported sup-
plies urgently needed for her own peo-
ple, the situation was altogether dif-
ferent. Senator Fraser was a gold dig-
ger half a century ago, and subsequent-
ly became a railway contractor and a
very wealthy man. He gave the late
Sir J. E. Millais 2,000 guineas to paint
his portrait, which adorned the Mel-
bourne National Oallery for a long
time.

A SOUTHERN VIEW.
that deala with "the Ironing of Jefferson
Davis."
some criticisms by tjie editor of the Jour-
nal of the humiliation put upon Mr. Davis
by the shackling of him under the com-
mand of now Lleutc-oaut General Nelson
A. Miles.
This X, which stands for some unknown
quantity, assumes to know Intimately the
circumstances of the loading of Mr. Davis
with chains. In the first place, he pre-
sents the plea that Mr. Davis "was not
held only or chiefly as the head of the
rebel government, or ns a state prisoner."
In proof Jje cites the proclamation of
President Andrew Johnson. May 2, 1866,
stating that "evidence in the bureau of
rai)itu*> JUStlag" makes It appear that
Jefferson Davis "Incited, concerted and
procured" the assassination of Lincoln
and the attempt on the life of Secretary
Seward! The reward c^f $100,000 for the
arrest of Mr. Davis on that charge was
paid to his captors. Therefore, it Is ar-
gued, that he was held aa a common
prisoner, like Guiteau or Czolgosz. and
the shackling was done to prevent this
dangerous murderer from escaping from
his moated and bastlned prison!
This new witness also reveals the won-
derful fact that at the time "there were
employed at Kort Monroe curpenters and
others who had served In the rebel army
who were known to be willing to aid In
the escape" of Mr. Davis! And yet It
never occurred to General Miles that the
easier, more humane and safest way In
that event was to discharge the "carpen-
ters and others" and not subject a weak-
ened. chivalrous and tactablo gentleman
to the brutal Ignominy of being shackled
In his cell by a barracks blacksmith.
It is a historic Incident no wand a calm-
er and more capable generation will pass
upon the cruelty and place upon It the
brand It will wear before all honorable
men and soldiers to the end of time.

And so the sly bachelor governor of
Kansas was « ngaged to be married to the
blooming widow all the while he was on
the stump promising to get spliced If he
was elected. Moreover, he was engaged
to marry the widow long before all those
gratuitous advertisements were put out
calling the attention of the eU&ibJ? young
women throughout the country to his
bachelorhood. If this Isn't a clear ease
of false pretenses, or contrlbutary negli-
gence. It comes pretty dose to those fla-
grant offences. The next time a bachelor
candidate for office undertakes to put up
this sort of a game on confidential apln-
