ILLIAM SWEEFZEY, resident of a Long Island village, was one of the men who answered the city’s call when the | street cleaners went on strike. His work was humble but honorable to himself, indispensable to the city if traffic was to go on and pestilence not to breed in the streets. While he killing him instantly. This man was murdered becatise he served the city. murdered by or in behalf of striking ashcan men who tried to run the city government, lost their jobs and then fomented a futile strike of the snow-remova! force. Another outrage was added to the account of men whose purpose was to render street conditions intolerable, whose boast it is that they have made the city “burn a barrel of money.” This act comes four days after the McNamara committee of the ‘American Federation of Labor declared that “violence, brutality, destruction of life or property, are foreign to the aims and methods of organized labor.” It was committed because its author had rea- son to believe the words were not sincerely uttered. Sweezey would have been alive to-day had the teamsters’ union, which fathered the two strikes, done a thing to show it deplored violence and would For its honor the city must safeguard the lives of those who serve it, and make its hand ean against the scoundrelism that MPrderously requites this service. For its own future, union labor must realize the anger, the cold repugnance which such acts arouse in normal men, and make their recurrence impossible. + THE FORGOTTEN COMMUTATION.

A PROJECT FOR SOCIAL UPLIFT. ALF life’s tragedies, more than half its scandals, arise from deceit or misunderstandings. Men have not known whether the woman was maid, wife or widow. Women have unwit- tingly given their hearts to benedicts or divorced persons or bache- lore no longer on the market. Wherefore people must welcome the custom growing up in Chicago that divorced women shall indicate their estate by wearing a plain gold ring on the little finger. All adults might well be so labelled as to advertise their con- dition at a glance. If grass widows should wear little finger rings, real ones should wear thumb rings, to indicate they are no longer under any man’s thumb. Young girls should not wear rings at all. Spinsters from choice might be equipped with brooches showing the device of the Jabor party—an uplifted hammer. Marriageable men could wear seal rings to intimate they were out to make an impres- sion. Married nen might avow their estate with nose rings, Di- vorced men forbidden to remarry should wear carrings, the conven- tional sign of piracy. Widowers could wear service medals, twice married men The Red Badge of Courage. Irreclaimable bachelors aight have watch charms with porcupine pendants, If all wore registered according to brand, and it were a misde- Smeanor to sail under false colors, would it not make for higher frank- _ ness ard the general uplift oe NOUNS ARE BETTER.

(Part I., in the West.) AR !s perhaps more like 4 gamo of chess than anything else, The spectacular incidents—the cavalry charges, the holding of some | fort or mountain pass against fearful odds—no more make up che sum of real war than a man’s finger représents his whole body. It {s as much a coolly and carefully planned series of ‘ynoves” and “coun. termoves” as chess or checkers, ¢ On the opening of the Civil War’s second yoar each olde had planne@ @ set of more or less elaborate moves. One of the Union's chief objects was to gain control of the Mississippi River, from the mouth of the stream to the point where it entered Union territory. For in this way the Confed- eracy’s territory would not only be split, but its western side would be laid open to Union attack, and its eastern portion could no longer be provisioned or reinforced from the west. The Confederates were well aware of this Union plan (for Washington swarmed with Southern spies of both sexes), ond proceeded to do all in their power to defend the threatened district. Our Government entrusted the conquest of the Mississippt to a land forces and to a fleet of warships. Foremost in genius among the army officers in chargy of the movement was a little, silent, shabbily-dressed, brown-bearded man, who was forever smoking black cigars, and who had tn those days the reputation for belng a rank failure in Mfe and overfond of Iquor. His name was Ulysses 8. Grant ' Grant, alded by a gunboat flotilla under Commodore Foote, entered the north- western Confederate boundartes and captured Forts Henry and Doncison, When Doneison's commander sent to ask for terms Grant removed the cigar from his mouth long enough to answer, “Unconditional surrender!” Soon the Misstssipp! River as far south 4s Island Number Ten (below the Ohfo River) was in Unton hgnds. A flerce two- day battle at Shiloh in April, 184%, resulted in a brilliant victory for Grant and drove the Confederates out of southwestern Tennessee. Then Island Number Ten wa en by Gen, Pope aud Commodore Foote, and the Mississippt vas opened as far south as Vicksburg. a ntime a Union fleet under Fa tacking the Mississipp! Ri ‘agut and an army under Butler were at- "territory from the southern end. Farragut had arly in 1 He was joined at Ship Island by Gen. Butler with 12,000 New England troops. Farragut then sailed up the Mississippi. Two strong forts—St. Philip and Jackson—on opposite sides of the river, sixty w Orleans, prepared to resist his advance. Below these forts ved with more than one hundred cannon) was stretched a chain ¢ width of the river, The chain was reinforced by ship hulks, loge (which were eq across the en and wreckage. The Confederates had believed the forts and the chain would effectively bar Farragut thought otherwise. Sheltered by a bend of the river he sent a flight of shells into Fort Jackson. He kept up this bombardment from April 18 to April 23, until he had battered the fort almost to atoms. Then his gunboats destroyed the chain and his squadron satled up the river in two columns, passing through galling fire from the Confederate guns and heading for New Orleans, A Southern fleet was sent to check his advance. He put this fleet to rout and reached New Orleans tn safety. ‘Dhe city was captured and Gen. Butler was left in command there, The New Orleans people, especially the women, furiously resented the presence of the Northern army, There was continuous trouble between sokliers and civifans, Butler issued a set of severe regulations concerning the treatment to be accorded by his troops to the New Orleans people, and he was in consequence nicknamed ‘vy the latter as “Beast Butler.” ° Farragut and Porter meantime continued their vigorous progress up the Mississipp!, capturing Natchez and Baton Rouge. Between Farragut in the South and Grant in the North nearly all the river Was now under United States control. Memphis fell early in June. The only remaining Confederate strongholds oh the Mississippi! were Port Hudson and Vicksburg. Grant, aided by Sherman, bent all his energies to capturing Vicksburg. After months of stubborn slege the city surrendered (ly 4, 1863), and Port Hudson was taken less than a week later. Thus, the Confed- eracy's territory was at last divided, and the rich States of Texas and Louisiana could no longer send food or forces or other afd to the Eastern Confederates, The year 1862 had been one of splendid triumph for the Union forces—in the West.
