NOT WORSE THAN IT IS. AOTS may help as much toward solving the problem of the ‘unemployed as sympathy—particularly when the latter is deosived into exaggeration. The statement that 330,000 men are out of employment in this Gity—the recent estimate furnished by the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor—can after all be only sur- mise when the figures are admittedly derived from scraps of data and k. _ The Association reported 210,000 skilled or partially skilled work- ere out of jobs. Results of The Evening World’s canvass of labor unions in the city hardly bear ont such figures. For instance: In the cloak and suit trade the Association estimated 18,000 idle. The Cloakmakers’ Union reports 5,000—a difference cf 18,000. The Association estimates that 2,200 printers, pressmen and lithographers are out of work. The Typogrephical Union puts the number of unemployed printers at only 350. Other unions report that idle lithographere, paper-cutters and pressmen number at most only « few hundred more. Three thov.and engineers and firemen have no jobs, eccording to th> Association. The Secretary of the Eocentric and Standard Engineers reports to this newspaper: “We have twelve men idle. Percentage the same as a year ago. Cause, lack of work.” If inadvertence and lack of data can stretch the estimates of the unemployed among skilled workers so far beyond what the facts indicate, is it not possible that tle estimate of 120,000 for the idle among unskilled laborers is aleo greatly exaggerated? Undoubtedly there are more idle men in the city now than there were a year ago. But the reports of the labor unions do not indicate that the increase is alarming or that its causes are likely to be lasting. ©The Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor de- serves every aid and encouragement that can be given it—including the most accurate data that careful analysis of the situation can firaieh.

Behind their chiefs were ranged thousands: of Creek warriors. On the consent of the Creeks to join in a plas of Tecumseh’s hung the success of that plan. And the Creeks would sot consent. Argument, threat, eloquence—Teoumseh tried all and tried thom in vain. He declared then that the Great Spirit authorized his plan and ; bade all Indians to help in furthering it. The Creek chicfs sat glum and | unbelieving. Big warrior, foremost sachem of the “nation,” open!y doubted thet Tecumseh was inspired by the Great Spirit; or indeed thut the Great Spirit was in the least concerned in the matter. | A murmur of dissent swept the Council. Tecumseh sprang to bie feet and shouted: | “You do not believe that the Great Spirit has sent me here? You shall know. I leave Alabama this day and I travel northward to Detroit When I reach Detroit I shall stamp thrice upon the ground. And whe I etamp the whole earth shall rock and every lodge in your villages stall fall down.” He named the date on which he would arrive at Detroit, and departed | from the Council, leaving behind him a wholly incredulous audience. Tecumseh was, perhaps, the greatest Indian who ever lived. There are mysteries about him that have never been cleared. His followers and~ many white men believed him to be more than mortal. Gen. Hurrison de-. clared that the man was fit to be an Emperor, and that but for the United States, he would be one. When the pioneers, early in the nineteenth A Conspiracy century, began to settle in the Middle West, the Government, on fiimay pretexts, scized or bought for trifling sums enormous tracts of land there from tha Indians, Tecumseh bitterly resented this. To clear the Wes! of its invaders, he hit on a scheme of combining all the Indian tribes into & mighty federation and of driving the white man out of the region. It was to be a war of extermination; a war that was to rid the Went of every soul save the original savages, But the Indians were not united. Some tribes and “nations” were at enmity with others; and some were disposed to be friendly to the acttlers. Tecumseh travelled from the Gulf to Canada, visitine every Indian village; pouring forth wondrous oratory to the listening savages, In hiv effort to enlist them in the combination. With him went his one-eyed brother, “The Prophet,” @ weird medicine man, who accompanied Tecumseh's speeches with great hand-made miracles and other supposedly divine manifestations. Some tribes joined the alliance Some—nofably the powerful Creeks —held out against it. Tecumseh's threat to shake the whole earth, on his arrival at Detroit, and to knock down the Alabama wigwams, was repeated everywhere, and almost everywhere it met with unbelief. Yet on the morning of the very day on which Tecumseh had declared he would reach Detroit a rumbling sound swept the earth throughout Alabama. The ground shook and shivered. The lightly built wigwams everywhers tumbled to earth. $ The historic “Earthquake of New Madrid’ on the Mississ!pp! caused these phenomena, But to this day no one can tell how Tecumseh hat known beforehand the precise moment when the earthquake would occur, oF, indeed, that it would occur at all. It ts a complete mystery. Yet theg facts are unquestionable. i The fulfilment of the strange promise banished the last doubt among’ the Creeks and other waverers that Tecumseh was inspired by the Great and a “Miracle.” tacked the federation’s chief village, during Teoum- seh’s absence. He inflicted a terrific defeat on the Indians.
