then took measures to effect the release OF
those who were in Jail for assaulting the
Italians, and went home, well pleased with
the progress thus far made in the amputation
of their noses. They are to meet again to-
night and there is no reason to hope that any
wiser councils will prevail. They seem in
clined to hold out until they have finally lost
their places, and their successors are firmly
established in them.
This is only another proof of the evils or
ignorant organization which become plainly
evident in difficult times. If there was
brisk demand for labor, and different hrIns
were competing for the chance to employ
these men, their leaders would OF course IN
crease their demands, advance their wages,
and SO perfect their discipline as to make all
wOrkIn IN join their unions or go WITHOUT
work. A temporary success ike that ehcour-
ages these organizations of ignorant men more
than any amount of suffering seems to dis
pirit them, At this time, when labor Is more
plentiful than employment, they know so lit
file "a to imagine they can effect the same re-
sults by organization, as in time OF high
activity and competition. 1t seems impossible
IN make them understand that their work Is
not worth as much as it was, and that
EMPLOYERS can buy it at lower rate. A
combination like this of the 'lOngshoremen
would be impossible among the educated
classes. The wages they ask are more than
those paid to the average Of clerks in New
York But strike of clerks is impossible, be-
cause they all know that if they left their
places to-day, they would be filled to-mor-
row and they would never get them again.
1t would be impossible to combine the over
worked and undergrad school-teachers of the
city for strike; for they are intelligent
enough to appreciate their relations to the
community and to know that although they
are not paid enough, Others are willing to
take their places. But every trade OF manual
laborers seems to be the prey of few active
and passionate demagogues who form its
members into despotism of which they as
sumo the control, and lead them in busy
times into folly and injustice. and in dull
times to absolute ruin. Hundreds of families
of these unfortunate 'longshoremen will be
objects of charity before long, simply because
they have surrendered their liberty into the
hands of men as ignorant as themselves and
more violent.
There is only one way in which any man in
this country can fix his own wages-and that
is by becoming q member of Congress

grieve to say, are often more high-sounding than
useful. To the list of those which serious and
really valuable they are presently to welcome Mr.

1t has long been great fault of our schools that
they have given pupils no understanding whatever
of the Government under which they expect to
spend all their days-or of any other Government.
indeed. Mr.. NordboG7s idea OF free government is a
political application OF the Christian theory of Life
and it is from that broad and clearly platform that
he explains as simply and familiarly possible in
his coming volume the meaning and limits OF lib
erty, law, government, and human rights. Ho has
done a manly and benefcent work in the prepara-
ton of this textbook, which wise of all parties
will be glad to their young people studying
closely and understandingly. Mr.. NoTdhoh is not
an entirely safe guide on questions OF political
economy but in other respects he Is SAFE and he ID

From the st. Louis Times.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Edmunds is blamed 10y the President
with this most disgraceful delay in the
confirmation of Williams. Grant has
fastened upon him as the guilty party,
and. without taking time to consider
that possibly Edmunds is a representa-
tive Of quite a number of others, loyal
and ultra-loyal. Edmunds WIS by no
means the first Senator to lift his voice
against the confirmation, but he is
the Chairman of the pestiferous
Judiciary committee, which. with an
inquiring turn of mind, has gone about
raking up reasons why the distinguished
Oregonian is not only unfit to be chief
justice, but also to be attorney general,
or to hold anyotber office in the gift of
the executive or the people, and being
such Chairman EdlAunds is held res
ponsible for this rmtoward conduct.
Under the circumstances. Of course 1t
becomes the Presidents painful duty
10 make an awful example of this per-
son, which, 1t is understood, how'll pro-
ceed al once tn do. Senator Edmunds
has conducted himself as no true Re
