For several years past says the Iron .ige,
the leaders Of the International Working
Mems Association have amused themselves
and the public by talking about " general
strike" which they are going to declare
when the proper time comes. And now it
appears that they have been TO the trouble
and expense of assembling a Congress"
in Geneva to talk about that and other
things equally important. Wen, we have
no reason to object if any one derives
satisfaction from chcrishing the belief that
the time is coming when there will be
a concerted strike of the producers through
out the world but the idea is so funny in
itself and would lead to such extraordinary
results, that we cannot refrain from COM
menting OH them. Were all working
men idle, who would support the strikers ?
1t is only possible for labor to successfully
oppose the greater and more varied resour-
ces of capital, when those who continue
production give portion of their share of
profits to those who are voluntarily
idle. Were there no bodies Of working
men earning wages which they were will
ing to divide, labor would hayc to support
itself in idleness by exchanging its savings
for the food and fabrics of the capitalist,
and when their savings were spent, the
capitalist would have all the wealth and la
Dor have nothing, not even its present share.
Labor would then have to go to work, or
starve, or rob the capitalist of his capital,
and should it choose the latter alternative
1t would destroy the power by which It's
productive capacity is utilized and made to
accomplish the largest and most beneficial
results. The truth is, those people who
talk about general strike would be salts
ned with nothing less than an equal di.
vision of the wealth of the world every
Saturday night, and it is not to be won
dered at that they are losing the confidence
OF workingmen who have enough in
telligence to appreciate the difference be-
tween practical suggestion and self
evident absurdity.

Some light is thrown on the Nirginius
affair by the arrival of eX-United States
Consul Poarne from Kingston nj Wnshnr-
ton 1t would seem that he and Captain
Fry, the commander of the Virginius, were
aware of the unlawful nature of the bust
ness in which the vessel was to be engaged.
The captain was demonstrated with, but he
replied that he had been confederate
blockade runner" during the rebellion, and
that the United States did not shoot that
kind Of prisoners. The whole object was
so open and notorious that halfof the en-
listed crew deserted before sailing, and
their places were supplied with adyentur
ers. While these facts do not alter the
moral character of the execution of the
prisoners, they do compel us to pause and
ask whether we are willing to engage in
war, right or wrong, to avenge this class of
desperadoes. We were not over fond of
confederate blockade runners" at one
time, and should not have wasted many
tears if scores of them had been sent to the
bottom of the ocean by our guns, but we
arc excessively indignant when they again
violate our laws and the laws of Spain and
Cuba and are brought to a sudden stand
still by some one else.

CURE OF CATARRH.

not been for want Of remedies in mDterid mcdica

RAILROAD FARES AND RATES.

In a previous article we made the asscr-
ton that the Central Vermont had become
II through line for freight from Chicago to
the seaboard, and that she was enabled to
become n competitor with the three great
lines the Pennsylvania Central, New York
Central, and Erie by reason of her having
s,cnrel control of all the links in this line
necessary to complete the chain. We stat
el that, rs one of the results of this manage
ment, corn-and we take this as an cX-
ample-is to-day delivered at Rutland five
dollars a car cheaper than it is at Science
taly; that it is delivered at the same price
at Burlington, Rutland and Bellows Falls,
Brattleboro, Bennington and Chatham at
least, this is the rate at the present time,
or will be in a. few days, as we are in
formed.
The importance of this fact to Vermont
will be understood when it is borne IN
mind that, according to the last census,
this state does not produce grain enough to
miintain her population but for seventeen
days in the whole year. Now corn cannot
be produced in Vermont at less price than
one dollar per bUshel, nor can wheat be
grown profitably in comparison with other
crops. Indeed we may as well look the
fact in the face that our farmers can no
longer, even at the present rate Of freight,
grow at profit the grain for our own use.
Our true interest is in the development of
our mines and in manufactures, and in the
growth of such products of our farms as
by their bulk cannot be transported from
the west or cannot be transported because
of their perishable nature
Hence it is that we as much as Massa-
chusetts, are interested in this matter of
cheap transportation, both to the end that
flour and corn may be laid down cheaply
at our doors to furnish food for our t)ilers
in our quarries and our teams, and that the
products of our mines and manufactures
may md, at reasonable rates, their natural
markets at the west. We have in our
midst great water powers now running to
waste; great forests furnishing the raw ma
terlal slate, marble and iron waiting dcyel-
opment and manufacture into articles of
use F; and every workman, brought here by
reason of these natural advantages, al
though he may eat Illinois flour and corn,
still eats our butter and beef and potatoes.
II Is mistaken notion that the cheapness

\ man competent to command a regi-
mrnt on the field of battle, or, even one
sufficiently influential to raise, arm and
equip regiment of volunteers, for the SER
vice of the United States, in suppositous
war with Spain, ought to know something.
Yet we learn that "lctters and kilograms"
are pouring into Washington, addressed to
the President and members of the cabinet,
urging war policy" and rendering vol
''unteers and even regiments of volunteers
for service against Spain, ostcnsbly, but
really in behalf of the Cuban insurgents
The President has no more right to raise
and accept volunteers, for such a purpose,
than has the town clerk of Rutland The
offers, however, are, probably, made by
men as ignorant of military tactics and
science as they are of the powers of the
President. In making their offer, they
reach the hight of their ambition a
little notoriety and perhaps, see their names
in print-but if the tug of war should
come, they would be the last men to take
part therein.

Chief Justice Ambrose Spencer, of New
York, was accustomed to say that if there
were two things that infinite wisdom
couldn't foretell, they were the results OF a
contested election and the verdict of petit
jury The late election in that state illus
trates the force of one part of the remark.
At the election, one year ago, Governor
Dix, republican, was elected by majority
of fifty-three thousand four hundred and
nfty-one votes, while this year, the major
ity of the democratic state ticket is elected
hy an average majority of some five
thousand. While we do not see herein any
Indication of the revival of the democratic
party-the result being easily explained on
other and truer grounds-we don't blame
the surviving democrats for bringing out
their roosters If we belonged to that de-
funct organization, we think we should
crow slightly, to say the least.

diminution of sales and a reduction of labor
but imported goods vary but slightly from
former values. Even the resumption of
specie payment would have no effect TO
reduce the values of the fine gold wares, it
is said, with the single exception of gold
chains, which are the only prominent
articles manufactured from the gold coin.
In times like this dealers expect trade in
standard useful goods, such as gold Thin
bles, pencils, scarf rings for gentlemen, &c.
Economy shows itself more in the selection
OF articles of utility than in total abstin-
ence from purchases. Among the latest
styles of ornaments are tie Whitby Jet, in
Spanish designs rock crystals, of French
workmanship, for evening wear oxidzed
metals, in Egyptian patterns, and Etruscan
gold balls, engraved with Roman devices.

1t has, at last, been judically determined
that. in the District of Columbia, persons
of color have equal rights with the whites.
The only question that arises is, why
shouldn't they? This last decision was in
the case of colored woman-we like the
good old Anglo-Saxon word woman, rather
than "lady'-who was elected from So
called ladies car" in Washington. Years
ago. before there seemed to be any hope,
in this country, for the immediate abolition
of slavery, or for civil rights for those of
African descent, the white and black were
accorded equal privileges on some of the
ferry boats, plying between New York and
brooklyn. The world is fast coming to in
siSt upon the principle that there shall be
no distinction on account of race or color,
and our fastidious fellow citizens will do
well to yield willing obedience thereto.

Ku.Klux i'm Kentucky.

CINCINNATI, Sept ia prominent citizen
of this city who has been spending several days
in the Ku-KluX region OF Kentucky, returned
to this city last evening. He reports that the
country is qdlet and the people ready to talk
freely about their troubles. They claim that
the accounts of affairs given recently in letters
in the Louisville Courier-Journal were much
exaggerated, and that troubles will be stopped
by due course of law. One prominent lawyer
stated that he had no doubt that there was a
larg organization of Ku-Klux about; that
many of them were respectable ctizens, who
had no sympathy with the mauraders; that
within ten days full disclosures will be made of
the secrets of the ord r, and those who have
repeuted of their connection with it would as
sst in suppressing it. The idea of martial law
is not reshed by any one. A well-known law
yer OF Owen county, asserted that there was no
established order, and that the offenders were
merely common thieves and murderers. The
Owen county authorities say that the matter of
the negro Whitestone is the only one which has
taken place in their county. Two of these
charged with this murder were acquitted at a
preliminary examination, and three others es-
capped from Jail week ago, aud they after
wards gave themselves up to the authorities,
declaring that they would prove an abb. Their
examination is set Tor tomorrow, and it is
thought they will be bound over. Owen county
people assert that all concerned in this outrage
are ex-members of the federal army.
