The outburst of enrnsed public sentiment
which haa m.mlfetted itself In Tampa, the
center of the cliar Havana elRnr tndimtry.
finding vent In the expulsion of forelp,n born
lahor lenders and anltatorn from that city,
furnishes a peculiar contribution to labor
history In thin country.
Tired of repeated attempts to dlnrupt
tho manufacturing enterprises whleb have
tnadi their city, relates the New Vork
Herald, the peoplo of Tampn adopted the
"vox popull, vox Del" platform, and. lack
ing what they regarded as adequate redress
In law or courts, proceeded to dispose of
proline sources of trouble In their own
way.
Tampa owes Its present prosperity nnd
Importance to Its Havana ulgar Industry.
Ten years ago Tampa was an obscure fish
ing vIIIbkc with and streets, thaekly
frarnn building, and no business worth
mentioning.
V. Marline Ybor came as the pioneer of
thr elements that weru to mako Tampa
fjre.it. He built a cigar factory for himself
nnd then built factories for other people,
donating sites and tmlldlDgs to reputable
Arms which would transfer their operations
from Havana and Key West to the strug
gling town which Yhor proposed to make
the great center of the Industry. Ybor lived
to seo the realization of his droam. One
hundred and forty-six clear Havana cigar
factories now operate In tho Vlorltin city,
which has grown In population meantime
from 3.00Q to Ifi.POO, nnd In business In fig
ures so phenomenal nn to Room Inrrcdlhle
Tampa made 186,000.000 clear Havnnn cigars
last year, worth over $12,000,000.
The rlgar Industry alone employes be
tween 6,000 nnd 7,000 people. When the
cigar Industry stops tho pulse of trade nil
hut suspends, Its circulating medium, sup
plied by factory payrolls, Is cut off. and
stagnation results.
Occasional experiences of this sort might
i bo tolernted, but tho "strike," tho favorlto
pastime of the foreign elgnrmaklng clasa,
has In Tampa become painfully regular.
Two Union Clnxh.
One year ago the International Union of
Clgarmakers, nfTlllatod with tho American
Federation of Labor, dominated the Inbnr
situation In Tampa. Thoro ensued a clash
"within Its ranks which resulted In a with
drawn! of practically all tho foreign bom
clgarmakers. Spanish, Cuban nnd Italian,
from the Internntlnnnl organization, leaving
it n small body of Amcrlcnn workmen. Un
der tho generalship of Manuel Hlvcra, sent
from New York for tho purpose, tho seced
ing army of 5,000 men .and women was re
organized Into n now union sworn In Its
hostility to Amerlenn competition In Its
trade, and from this sprang tho giant "La
Iteslstcncla."
This organization of foreigners at once di
rected Its efforts to tho extermination of
the organization from which Its members
had seceded. In October, 1000, It demanded
the expulsion of Internationals from tho
factories. Some manufacturers yielded, be
cause they could not do business without
tho assistance of La Itcslstencln; others de
clared they would retain their American
employes.
Tho fight caused n suspension of many fac
tories for nearly a month. Tho climax enmo
when n mob, headed by tho International
men, attacked tho fnetory of Gonzalez. Mora
& Co., which was operating with n few Uo
elstencla workmen, and fired Into It, This
fcvert act gavn Ucslstcncla snmo public sym
pathy and support; nnd Kcntstcncla won Its
battle. Three factories were, however, al
lowed to run with other than Hcslstencla
men. But It wns not to bo for long.
Knrly In July Ln Hcslstencla girded Its
loins nnd declnred wnr onco more. It wns
largo enough nnd strong enough, It Is said,
.to control all tho factories of tho city. It de
manded that tho threo rnciorics wnicn naa
been excepted In the former terms of peace
ho plnccd under Its Jurisdiction. It struck n
blow for the final extermination of the In
ternational union, and of all other unions
except Itself.
All llmiiU Out.
This began tho present fig''t and precipi
tated Its sensational denouement. Because
the manufacturers, us o body, would not
ubo their Intlucnco to compel Cucntn, Rey
& Co., Arguollcs, ilonrz A. Brother nnd
Vldal Cruz, tho threo xceptcd firms, to bo
to Us demands, Hcslstencla called a general
strike.
Six thousand peoplo quit work In nu
hour. Already arrogant from demonstrated
power, Reslstcucla wanted more. It had a
triko fund of $18,000 In bank; It had
loaders who had mndo u Ilfo business of
effecting nnd conducting strikes; tho native
fever for agltntlon In Its Latin blood boiled
for- trouble, and It thought It had tho sup
port of tho business community, because
its labor wa3 tho Ufa blood of business
in Tampa.
Of this latter Hcslstencla Judged un
wisely. Its demands wcro regarded by tho
peoplo of Tampa as arbitrary and unJUBt
it had mistakenly pleaded tho argumont of
force.
The Btrlko ran nlong smoothly for ten
days, Heslstulicla opened nine soup shops,
spent a largo portion of Its money for pro
visions and proceeded to feed Its Idle
army. Its headquarters, tho Llceo Cubano,
Ybor City, was thronged at every hour of
tho day and night by gesticulating, excited
clgarmakers, pickers, packers, selectee,
trippers all without work.
Manufacturers began to manifest a spirit
of unrest. Sanchez & Haya had orders for
2,000,000 rlgars, for prompt delivery, but
tho tables In their big factory wero vacant.
nnd tho doors closed. Other firms wcro sim
ilarly situated. Thero was talk of removing
to other cities. This strike custom was be
coming too regular for tho good of tho
iudustry,
l)rlliiK Hi" Lenders.
It was there considerations that led to
the forclblo deportation of the strike load
ers. From the Llceo Cubano tho contrnl
committee of Hcslstencla was Issuing man
ifestos which kept aflamo tho discontent
of tho strikers and encouraged thorn to pro
long their courBO. Tho fountain head of
the troublo was located there twenty-ono
men, who were not workors, who thrived
on tho labors nnd also on the Idleness of
Ihs r(il wot Uric who continually agitated
and moused Ilia t'nUn ntvl UnnnbH -opl

men wero about to cause tho loss of Tnmpa'
rustalnlng industry; the business meu de
cided that thotr romouil was demanded
by public policy and sclf-prescrvatlon.
Hans were carefully considered by tho
organization of business mon. There must
ha no mlistop. Everything was arranged
with the minuteness of a miliary campaign.
But there was a misunderstanding at tha
start. . Monday night the central committee
of the strikers was to meet at tho usual
hour at headquarters, but failed to do so.
Oettlng them "In a bunch" was thus made
impossible.

The King's English
A Protest by Harriet Prescott
Spotford.
If there were any truth In the rumor
that certain ncadcml" bodies abroad are
about to form an association for the pur
poso of protecting tho English language
from the encroachments of the Amerlenn
there would bo some reason for a counter
stroke on this slilo of the water to pre
serve the purity of the old mother-tongue
from tho slipshod treatment It receives at
tho Hps of modern society In England.
It Is qulto apparent to any observer that
a great deal of the dignity of the language
Is at present being sacrificed to tho haste
nnd waste nnd whim of tho world of May
fair fashion. According to this whim ono
Is no longer correct If taking the time to
say "necessary," for Instance; ono must
eny "ncsary," or nn approximate sound to
that. Nothing Is "ordinary" now, but all
things arc "ordlnry." which to unaccus
tomed cars qulto equals tho "ornery" of
dialect. No more may we say ''literary,"
but "lltry" Is the rule. There nro no
"secretaries" now; all are "secrctrys."
Thsrc nro no more "cemeteries." either;
they are "comctrys," and so on through a
long list of hostilities to the letter "a," In
which the outrage against elegance Is ns
bad at. tho clipping of final "g'," or the
use of tho strong preterlto that clipping
of the final "g" being customary only with
the unlettered American, but the constant
practice of the aristocratic English.
As for what are called Americanisms,
Richard (Irani White showed long ago, and
very convincingly, that most of them nro
Anglicisms and as old as Shakespeare.
And as for what Is named American slang,
a large part of tho slang prevalent comes
from England and only that Is American
which Is witty and full of point nnd usually
have as much right as the English people to
rorrupt It If we choose, yet wo do not
choose.
The English have never conquered the
an affair neither of bad grammar nor bad
pronunciation.
Generations ago this English habit cor
rupted the pronunciation of the proper
names of the families of Great Britain. But
with that we have no quarrel, since if they
wish to make Boever of Bclvolr, Beechcra
of Beauchamp or Luson-gore of Levlson
Gower, they have the right to do so, nnd wo
will not make It any concern of ours. But
In the main body of tho language wo have
a proprietary Interest rivaling theirs, as
the heritage of tho whole race, and, whllu
their fountains of learning may have full
right to Improvo and to protect It, lu gen
eral practice they have no right to Injure
and degrade It and then ndd Insult to the
Injury by accusing us of having done It.
That Americans know how to use the
language with propriety, nnd do so, might
bo surmised from the fact that one Ameri
can writer has his plncj In Westminster
nbbcy, tho British Valhalla; that others
have been Invited to write English epitaphs,
that our best writers of the day rank with
the best of England's day. No English
writer has ever excelled tho cxqulslto deli
cacy of Hawthorne's choice of English, tho
perfection of Emerson's, the crystnl purity
of Prescott's style, the charm of Irvlng's,
tho majesty of Bryant's, to name no others
of those whoso works are ns widely read
In England as In tho United States.
It has remained for American publishers
to discover and collect the work of English
writers neglected at home, such ns De
Qulncey's, for Instance. Shakespeare has
had no better commentators nnd editors
than America has given. And, although the
language being ours by common descent, wo
habit of looking at us as colonial; nr
have they tried to conquer It. We hate
refused to remain colonists; but In some
respects they have never recognized our
refusal. Except among the choicer critics,
tho greater part of our best work Is re
garded as provincial, nnd treated wi h a
sort of nrrogant surprise. They have
something tho same disdain for our en
deavor that tho boy lu his first knicker
bockers has for his 6lstcr. They have de
sired political assimilation with us ever
since nnd beforo the time of King George
tho Third, wishing us to use their stamp
on our paper; and now they wish us to
let them put their modern and slovenly
stamp on our language.
The language, we repeat, Is ours ae mu"U
as the Englishman's, and Is kept more care
fully by our tongues than by his; ns our
Jealously regarding his corruptions shows;
as tho fact that tho best and greatest of Its
dictionaries Is ours shows also, ns well as
tho circumstance that thero Is no single
area of the British kingdom In which It Is
spoken with such purity ns that In whl:h
It Is used In various areas of equal idzs
within our own borders.
Instead of any London uoclctlcs Irso
lontly ruling us out of court. It may come
to tho pass that we shall be obliged our
selves to pass sentence on the real offend
ers, We have excellent authority for suih
proceeding. "Wo nro worth nothing." nald
Jnmes Russell Lowell, "till wo have disin
fected ourselves of Anglicism," and Lowell
was n man the Queen delighted to honor.
If the words were true In other relations,
they are so In respect to the use of Eng
lish by modern Mnyfalr. And, although we
rnll it the King's English, wo do so re
membering that every American Is a sovereign.
Insanity Among Women
Alarmist Views Shown
to Be Unfounded.
Prof. Zlmmcr claims that competition be
tween men nnd women In male occupations
must result In an enormous Incrcnae of In
sanity nmong women, Ho c'nlms, n'to g
other things, that the rate of Insanity of
German-npenklng women teachers Is double
that of men. His statistics are clearly
those of the misleading, unanalyzed type so
frequently employed by special ploidfrJ,
writes Dr. James C Klernan In the Chlrng3
Tribune Statistics of female Insanity al
wnys mislead the nmntetlr soclcligis .
Women have, ns Brnndrcth Symqnds h.n
shown (American Journal of Medical Sci
ence June, ISDI) greater vitality than men,
ran Rtand continuous strain better and thrl"
mnrtnllty Is less. Tho fatal types of ,n
sanity are at least five times as frequent
among men as among women. The femls
Insnno consequently accumulate, which ac
cumulation has produced the view disproved
dccifdcs ago, that Insanity was m at fre
quent among womon. This constitutes ono
grcnt element of error In statistics. An
other Is duo to tho fact thnt chronic In
sanity nmong rural populations Is only de
tected when Insane hospitals arc erected.
These nro rapidly filled with chronic lun
ntlcs, the product of generntlons. Tho
mlddlo clnsB female occupations having
mcst lunatics are notoriously those of
farmers' wives, daughters, and s'ster.'.
Thcso fall victims to tho four "C" moln-.-h
cooking, clothing, church nnd children.
Tho Insnno In a rural communl'y pass mus
ter to n surprising degree. Thry flock to
the city to fill various occupations; In pro
portion to tho Intellectuality of tho occu
pation, tho mental defect becomes evident.
The occupation tests but does not produce
Insanity.
In Germany the woman of the middle nnd
aristocratic class have as duties the four
Cs. 'Iho working woman must In addition
toll aa railroad navvies and ln other ex
hausting work because of male military
service. The amount of Insanity nnd nervous
tondltlons thus produced nre dlsrognrdod by
German sociologists, who, like tho kaiser,
are mnklng an ncttvo propaganda against
higher female education. The working class
seems to bo chlolly of value to enablo Its
males to bo food for powder. Until tho
ncrvnin dlsrnso rate among women of this
class Is settled, the alleged Influence of
hlghT education 'n Germany must bo
largely discounted.
That competition produces stress, and that
stress produces nervous breakdown Is un
deniable. Tho forms of Insanity found by
Zlmmcr. however, require more than one
generation to produce, and hence cannot be
duo to the higher education of womon at tho
close of tho nineteenth century. At the be
ginning of tho last century 111 health was
far more frequent among women than It Is
today. As Catherine Beechor has shown,
this Is particularly true of Now Englnnd.
This 111 health was due not to stress in male
occupations but to tho nbcencu of intel
lectual stimulus. In Intruding on so-cnlled
"male" occupations, woman, however. Is
but taking her own, since, ns Otis T. Mason
of the Smithsonian Institute has shown
("Woman's Sharo In Primitive Culturo").
"AH tho peaceful arts of today were once
woman's peculiar province. Along tho Hno3
of Industrialism sho was pioneer, Inveutir,
nuthor, originator. Tho ar's dov.s1d ty
woman are In the nscendancy, and man,
militant, has glorified them by his cu-cp r
atlon." As competition ln arts outside of
war Is cf a continuous type, woman Is bet
ter fitted thereto than man, who Is const),
tutlonnlly built for 'spasmodic exertion en
tailing periods of rest.
A novelty nttracts tho paranoiac, tvo
hysteric lunatic, and other defectives,
whence seeming Increase of thcso In nny
new occupation. Tho relative ratio of In
snnlty nmong malo and femalo schcol teach
ers In tho United Slates does not bear tut
Zlmmcr's position, still the number of de
fectives Is great. This Is not duo to, tho
occupation, but to Its attraction for ego
tists. Most of these defectives have an
ancestors the American nnd European rural
population. Effects of the bad snnltntl n,
tho monotony of diet, the mental stagna
tion of rural districts are charged up to
higher education. Knrly American alien
ists pointed out thcso degenfatlng factors,
but fulcome cant nncnt rural health pre
vented their warning being heeded. As ths
novelty of women ln tho higher educations
wears off, defectives will cease to seek It
nnd Its nllegcd deteriorating effect Mil
vanish. This tendency Is even now i Mown
In the large number of d fecttve female op
ponents of woman suffrage.
The alarmist Is too-oftcn abroad In In
sanity statistics. Haying no sense of re
lativity, he is biased the nntlquo myth that
tho previous generation must be mere per
fect than tho coexistent.

seizures went about through the city, and
began picking up tho men wanted. When
located tho Intended victim would be ap
proached, quietly "placed under nrrest"
and led away. A closed carrlago sped from
tho sccno of the seizure. Thero was a
leader "missing." That wns all.
That night wns a mcmorablo one In Ybor
City. The strikers did not realize what
was occurring. Many of them went to
the county Jail, thinking their officers had
been taken there. They came away with
puzzled faces.
All roxt day tho search continued, and
by midnight fifteen of tho twenty-one agita
tors on tho Usf had been taken. They
wcro guarded nt nn out of tho way spot In
tho woods .ind their friends looked fot
tl.cm In vain.
But the special object of the search eluded
tho deportation committee. J. O. Padtlla,
a Cuban mulatto, who has a most unsavory
record as n strike agitator, who was thi
hu promt, authority ln La Hcslstencla, Itn
general secretary and the guardian of Its
funds, sought rudden secrecy, and has thus
far maintained It.
Off to Sen.
Wednesday rooming between 2 and 3
o'clock thirteen of tho kidnaped men were
rushed by special conveyances from tho
camp In tho woods to Ballast Point, on
tho old Tnmpa bay, whore a schooner, sup
plied with nuxlllnry steam power, was In
waiting. This vessel is ono of those en
gaged ln tho fruit trade between Tampa
and Honduras. Sho had been cleared regu
larly at the custom house nnd her papers
wcro correct. She was "bound south for
a cargo of fruit."
A special crow of ten men wns taken on
board tho vessol to act aa guards for tho
prisoners. Tho ngltators wero told that no
personal injury would bo dono them, but
they wero given to understand that tho pur-
pooc of tho expedition was to remove them
permanently from Tampa. Some of thom
begged pitifully to bo released, promising
to avoid further offense. Only two wero
turned loose.
The ship Balled Just beforo daylight. It
Is unknown where she landed.
Awaking to another day of Idleness the
next morning La Hcslstencla found Itself
headless. Those of Its officers nnd leaders
who had not been taken had disappeared
of their own accord to avoid similar treat
ment.
"We will never return to work," the;
now say. "For every leador taken from us
three others have been appointed and our
fight will bo won,"
But It Is cosy to see that tho backbone
of the big union la broken. Its soup houses
are about out of provisions. The men who
had charge of Us funds and its accounts
are gone. Now It Is stated that those
trusted officers aro short thousands 'of dol
lars In their accounts with their Ignorant
dupes nnd that thv caused the present
strlko In order to cover up their pecula
tions, Ono serious error seems to have been
made by tho deporters. One of the men
sent nway was Louis Barcla, foreman f.f
the composing room of the Federation, the
organ of La Hcslstencla, He was mistaken
by the cartnrs for the editor of the pub
llCsWPU U Mttor.? now that he Is a
member of bohl TpiU)Mt uwtori Xn.
29? r.nd that he did not properl) belong to
the clan of agitators. The Typographical
union has taken the matter up. Barcla
will probably be brought back on the vessel
If communication can be had with tho men
In chargo of the expedition.
I'urloua CnuM'B for Striking.
Overwhelming public sentiment seems to
approve tho step that was taken. Many of
he strikers themselves approve It, but aro
afraid to say so. They arc a most eccen
tric, excitable class and do most unexepeted
things, Some of their ''strikes" have been
laughable In their want of provocation.
Sovcral months ago tho men employed In
a fnetory gave the "reader." who reads to
tho employes as they work, n book of nn
Indelicate nnturo nnd ordered him to road
It to them. The women employed In the
factory, who would be forced to listen, ob
jected and tho proprietors of the factory
forbade the reading of the objectionable
work. All the men struck and remained
out two weeks.
On another occasion tho foreman of one
of tho factories was taken 111. A substitute
wns placed In charge. This substitute had
a limp and when he walked through
tho workroom all tho clgarmakers nt a sig
nal quit work. When asked for their com
plaint they said: "Wo do not llko this
(the new foreman's) walk." The factory
had to suspend iinttl the regular foreman
got well,
Because the owner of a fnetory placed
his son In the office to learn the business
400 men struck in that factory and came
near causing n general strike.
Lately Ln Roelstcncta passed a general
rule prohibiting the owner or manager or
any member of their families from entering
tho workrooms while tho men wero at work.
This Is hut a sample of tho unreasonable
ness which characterizes this class of lnbor.
But the cigar Industry Is nbsolutcly de
pendent upon this organization nt present
for the operation of Its business. There nro
not enough men In the other organizations
to operate, six factories.
Tnmpa. ths manufacturer and the cigar
trade generally await with Interest tho rc
Hitlt of the latest remedy for strikes, as
adopted by the people of Tampa.

BAD BLOOD
Reveals itself In many wars. Some
times the impurities in the blood uiarlc
and mar the skin with blotches, pimples,
boils or other eruptions. Sometimes tho
result oi oaa oiooa is
rheumatism or a debili
tated condition which is
popularly described as
"iccjiiig ma yen
out, hardly able
to drag myself
around."
The impurities
and poisons which
corrupt the blood, clog
the hver and cloud the
skin are removed by the
use of Doctor Tierce's
Golden Medical Discov
ery. It does more than
eliminate the poisons : it
increases the activity
of the blood-making
glands so that there is
an increased stirply of
pure, body-building blood. It brightens
the eyes, cleanses the skin, and gives
new, physical energy.

Is it not worth while to be identified with a builds
