The New York Tribune says tnat a certain Rev. Mr. Wild, formerly of Brooklyn, and now settled over a Congregational church in Hamilton, Ontario, delivered a discours; recently upon " The Death of President Garfleld, and What Next?" The Reverend gentleman interpreted the asëassination as siraply the Almighty's way of removing obstacles to the harmonieus union of ttie Anglo-Saxon race. The hand of the dictator was already on the lever of the Government. The death of Garfleld would prepare the way for the nssumptlon of a military dictatorship by Gen. Grant, and that event would be followed by the unión otthe English-speaking nations and their flnal annexation to Jerusalem, and thus would the prophecies of the Scriptures be fulfilled. This belief is exactly in aceordance with the belief of Guiteau and no one thinksfora moment or calling Rev. Mr. Wild insane. There has been considerable excitement cluring the past fortnight in Muskegon caused by a general strike among the mili hands in that vicinity. The 9trike was occasloned by the demand of the employers that from eleven to twelve hours labor should constitute a day's work, The laborera contended for a redtictlon in the number of hours. The milis were obliged to close, while the strikers paraded the streets. At time t was reported that an organization 2,000 f-trong had been tormed. Finally an outlircak became so imminent that Gov. Jerome ordered several companies of the State militia to repair to Muskegon. By morninr, on Friday last companies oftroops had arrived from Grand Haven, BigRftpIdt and one or two other cities. About this time the strikers began to leave the city in lnrge numbers for the woods of the North, and sonie of the milis conceded to the demands of the laborers. At present everything is quiet. The strikers cannot bc lil.iincd for their action so long as they refrained from any, violence. Eleven or twelve hours are too much for a day's labor, unlt'Si wagesare raised in a correspondIng dofrae. Muskegon has some thirty or more sw&m saw milla and manufactures Inmi 400,000,000 to 600,000,000 feet of lumbm pcf year. A few days lost at thie season of the year Is a greut loss to that city but the strike may bring about a better state of events in the commuuity.
