STRIKES AMONG MECHANICS The moulders
Of Albany, it appears, are on a strike and, as
is too frequent in such cases, they have been
assaulting all those Of the same trade who re-
fused to be bound to their determination and
have continued TO work. The Common C0un-
Gil have very properly offered reward Of q
thousand dollars for the detection of the viola
tors Of the peace, and have appointed an eldi-
tional police force to put stop to the outrages.
Working men do much damage to their own
cause by violent demonstrations Of this kind.
OF course they have perfect right to demand
higher wages, and to work or not, just as they
please; but they have no right to modest other
parties who may chose to work on terms srita-
BILE to themselves, nor to dictate to any one
what price he shall put upon his labor. This
is an assumption which is wholly unwarranta-
bic, and il often leads otherwise peaceful men
to violence and bloodshed There are other
and better ways Of adjusting differences be-
tween employers and employed than by as
sault and battery, which may send the perpe-
traitor to prison, where he may have to labor
without any wages at all. The Common Coun-
Gil of Albany have acted promptly in this mat
ter, and we hope the result will prove lesson
to strikers generally. They may find that in
some cases they have struck one blow too
many for their future comfort,

THE WASHINGTON MoNuMENT-We perceive
that boxes have been put up in the neghbor-
hood of our city Post Office, headed by an ap.
peal to citizens to subscribe for the completion
of the Washington monument. We learn that
similar facilities for collecting money for the
same object have been granted by the Post
masters of Boston, Baltimore, Washington,
New Orleans Charleston, and indeed of all of
our large cities. The smaller post offices of
the country are following the example; and Of
five thousand applications that have been made
by Lieutenant Ives, Of the Typographical En-
gineers. whom the Secretary of War detailed
three months ago to take the sole charge of the
monument, not one unfavorablc response has
been received. There are thirty thousand post
Offices in the United States, and the calculation
of Lieutenant Ives is, that if but an average OF
two dollars year can be collected from each
Office, the whole sum needed to complete the
monument will be forthcoming as rapidly as it
is wanted.
The old plan of relying upon large subscri-
bers has been found to fail in almost every
thing. II is only where the whole people are
appealed to, and are able to give unasked the
cents and dimes which they would be 10th to
enter upon a book, that anything worthtalking
of is accomplished.
The monument at Washington is now 1875
feet high. When completed it will be plain
obelisk OF 600 feet from its base-the highest

Political TIGHr-RoPE DANcING-Tight-rop
dancing in the face of danger and death seems
to be the mania of the times. Every little town
and village with river deep enough to drown
a man, and banks steep enough to make the
fall horribly exciting to an audience, has now
its glory -seeking Blondin. Every State in the
Union, too, has just at this time, in view Of the
Presidential election, its political tight-rope
dancer. All the ropes are drawn parallel with
Mason and Dixon's line, and the ''artists" are
handling their balancing poles cautiously to
keep themselves fairly balanced between the
North and South.

The HERALD AND THE COUNTRY PAPERS
Were it not for the existence of the New YORK
HERALD we do know not what many of
the country papers would do for topics.
Not only have they to depend upon us for the
news Of the world, and for intelligent views of
all questions that arise, but we are to them
personally what Louis Napoleon is to the
newspaper correspondents at Paris. They
could not get on without US. When they have
clipped from the columns Of the HERALD the
dish Of news which they set before their
circles Of readers, they turn naturally to get
up an editorial dessert of abuse against its
editor. 1t is amusing to see how much in ac-
cord these provincial journalists are in this
matter. The HERALD is their sole reliance as
well for news as for ideas. Returning good
for evil we will continue to keep our country
editors supplied with the latest intelligence,
end will do our best towards enlightening them
on all the questions Of the day.

The STRUGGLE FOR GoLD-THE SPons OF
OFFICE Nothing is more suggestive to
the philosophical mind than the headlong
rush of cur people to become suddenly
rich. Everybody is looking out for short
cut to fortune, and a few find livery few,
however, in proportion to the whole number
engaged. Of the thousands who have emigra-
ted to California within the last ten years, how
few succeeded in amassing fortune. How
few of the lucky ones kept what they made.
And yet the tide rolls steadily towards the
Pacific. Great companies of emigrants are NOV
ing towards the new placers at Pixies Peak and
Arizona. The Indian graves at Chiriqui at
tract goodly number of spectators in dead
mems bones-a line of business first taken up
by our quadrilateral cotemporary, who saved
all his youthful sympathies for "the elbows Of
the Mincio." But all the placers are not found
west of the Mississippi. Washington, Albany,
and the metropolis, afford diggings more or
less dry, but always thoroughly worked. Pro-
badly there are at least twenty men after every
ounce Of gold at Pixies Peak; and there are at
least a hundred in pursuit Of every dollar Of
what is called the spoils of the govern
ment There are great Offices and small,
heavy jobs and light; but none too
mean or too dirty for the scavengers who
labor in the field of politics They are getting
ready for q grand foray on the printing and
erspoils ofCongress, the canals of this State,
bleeding the railway men and swindling the
friends of the canals at the same time, and the
rich bits which lay under the exterior strata of
our Corporation. 1t seems harsh to compare
the honest miner in California, or Arizona, or
Pixies Peak, with these scurvy politicians, but
gold hunting in any shape is always more or
less demoraiizing. Arizona and Washington
city are examples in point. California is i'm
proving as her agricultural resources become
developed, and Arizona may turn out to be a
respectable member of the national family; but
the political gold hunters are utterly and hope
lessiy lost. Even bath in Salt river, where
they often go, will not save them

THE REFEREE SYSTEM AND IT'S ABUSES.-We
had something on this subject few weeks
since, and we then exposed the various abuses
Of the referee system. 1t was the first time
that public attention was pointedly and direct
ly drawn to the matter, and the result illus
trates the quiet but powerful influence of the
public press. At that time all parties were
logged but submissive; now we find every
body out-spoken and resistant. For some
years the judges, lawyers and litigants, have
quietly submitted to the shameful extortions
of the above named unofficial, unsworn, non
descript adjuncts of our judicial system. The
judges because they wanted assistance, the
lawyers because they shared the spoils, and
the clients for the simple reason that they
could not help themselves without in all pro-
liability going through the same ordeal Sc
cond time, and once was usually sufficient.
Since we have called public attention to the
matter both judges and clients seem to have
awakened to sense of their duties and rights.
The great and powerful Corporation of the
city of New York, though counting among its
fathers a reasonable proportion Of fighting
men, to say the least of it, has submitted as
tamely to all referee extortions as if the whole
Board had been composed Of members Of the
Peace Society; as to INGREDIENTS, bankers and
capitalists, they had doubtless, their
own reasons for pretending to disregard
so small shave as a referees bill;
and it devolved upon woman, and
that talented and pretty woman, too, to pub
licly assert and vindicate, not only her own
and woman's rights, but mems rights also.
Miss Laura Keene, in refusing to pay 1925
for services which Judge Hilton remarked
would have been performed in five hours by
the Court, and for which only SIS was properly
chargeable, has simply performed duty to
herself and the public.
Would it not save time and expense in all
these city cases for the judges to avoid the
farce of reference, and at once give judgment
for the plaintiffs? Or, if they deem trial ner
cessary, would it not be we'll to hear and adu-
dictate them in open court? Though judges
are elective, being sworn officers, and in most
cases worthy and conscientious men, the pub
lie still believe that the style Of argument used
before referees would not be attempted before
them; at all events, that a class of documents
admitted by referees would not even be laid
before them for consideration

HORSE SHOWS AND AGRICULTURAL FAIRS
This is the season for horse shows and agri-
cultural fairs, as we'll as for political con-
ventions and State military encampments. The
seventh National Agricultural Exhibition takes
place at Chicago next week, commencing on
the 18th and ending on the l7th According
to all accounts it promises to be the most sue
cessful exhibition Of the kind yet held. Six
large structures have been erected on the
grounds for floral hall, mechanics hall,
fine arts hall, and for the display of agricul-
tural implements, farm products and domestic
manufactures. The railroad companies will
carry free of charge articles and animals in
tended for exhibition, and will transport pas
sengers to and fro at half the usual rates of
fare. There are to be one hundred and TWEEN
ty-five premiums distributed, amounting in ag-
pregato value to twenty Thousand dollars, and
applicable to cattle, horses and mules, sheep
and swine poultry and game, farm and garden
products, implements and agricultural arts,
science and literature Besides these there are
special premiums offered by citizens and asso-
Citations among them being thousand dollars
for the best trotting horse.
The International Horse Fair, usually held at
Springfield, is held this year at Buffalo. 1t
commenced Tuesday and ends tomorrow
The fourth annual fair Of the ST. Louis Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Association COM
mences the 26th inst and lasts the entire week
The premiums amount in the aggregate to
twenty thousand dollars. Three premiums of
a thousand dollars, each one to be awarded to
horses; and as competition is open to the
whole world, there will naturally be splendid
exhibition.
The annual exhibition of the New Jersey
State Agricultural Society will be held in the
pretty little city of Elizabeth, commencing on
the 18th and ending on the 10th instant Among
trotting Matches there being capital course
on the grounds. The trials of speed are to
take place on the two last days, Thursday and
Friday week.
There are to be also horse fairs this month
in Connecticut, Ohio, Kentucky and other
States. The encouragement given to the i'm
provement of the breed of horses by the prizes
awarded at these fairs cannot but have high
ly beneficial effect. 1t is not the quality of
speed alone that is looked to, but more particu-
larly strength and endurance.
AL over the States these agricultural fairs
have grown to be regular annual occurrences.
Their value in stimulating farmers to avail
themselves of the teachings of science is ines
Unable, and their popularity grows greater
from year to year. With this stimulus and the
natural taste and enlightenment of our people,
tie and the best horses, to be met with any
where, So may it be.
