Tho differences arising between laborera and
their employers are exceedingly numerous, and
growing moro 81 every day. A strike Ia tho
How long strike may last depends simply Oh
the length Of time during which tho laborora can
dispense with employment or their employers
with tho services OF labor. It we're veil for tho
sake Of national well-beiug that there never
we're strike but, as thore will be strikes, the
next best thing is that they should bo aa few md
~ short in duration as possible. Any measure
looking towards the prevention Of theRe difficult
ties or towards mitigation Of tho injuries they
entail, should be welcomed by the public gen.
erally as well as by laborers and thoir employ
ers. Now 1t Is not little strange that. whereas
much has been done, II not to hinder strikes
altogether, to find = speedy solution for them
when they occur, both in England aud in
France, little has been done il America,
where thoy arc at least as frequent.
England, by an act Of Parliament passed last
year, aud known as the Arbitration Act" has
established what nc may call Arbitration Courts.
to take cognizanco and have jurisdiction OF casea
Of strikes, wages. etc., and Franco has moved In
the same direction. This English Arbitration
Courts hare all the authority and power uaual In
othor legal courts.
The advantage Of these tribunals is, TINT the
Judges haye cognlzance only OF tho differences
between capital aud labor. and that
they Rre elected by and from the
ranks Of omp.oyera aud employer themselves.
It is proposed that the laborers aud employers
courts. and French writer suggests that tho
| members Of the court from the ranks Of the
capitalists should bo elected by the aborers. aud
those from tho ranks Of the laborers by tho CAP
ltallsts. It is thought that this mQdo Of pro-
| ceedtngs would givo court moro acceptable to
own Judges from their own ranks and tho labor
ere their Judges from tEoirs. This method OF
election would give an oven number OF Judges.
The odd one 1t was proposed, should bo elected
| by the laborers or thor employers, as lot might
| decide,
There can be little doubt that many differ
enco which now works untold mischief to tho
country would be compasssd by moanB Of these
courts, and they might oven prevent strikes a.
together.
1t ia not improbable that tho laboring clasBes
Of tho community will see that their interests
will bo protected more by these tribunals than
by endeavorng to wiring impossible terms from
the manufacturers and other capitalists Of tho
country.

THE CENTENNIAL DILL.

sion, and committed body and soul to Its attempts
upon tho National Treasury. His speechiu favor Of
tho billwas aoreditablo piece OF special pleading
but III the passago.at-arms with Mr. Dawes he
appeared at great disadvantage. Mr.. Dawes had
urged tho inability Of tho Govcrnment to keep
itB fafth as regards the sinking fund aB reason
why 1t could not honorably allow an appropr'a-
ton for aolf-glori0cation. Mr. Hawley oyaded
tho Issue, and answered, with much temper, that
ruptcy, dishonor, etc.; ho intimatea that Mr.
Dawes ought long ago to havo reported tax-
bill with yiew to making good any Goaolt in tho
National Treasury.
Such talk as this, Mr. Hawley ought to know,
will not divert Intention from tho real question

THE FARMERS AND THE CURRENCY


When the Advisory Committee OF the State
Farmers Association voted down tho resolution
condemning the President for vetoing tho in
aation bill and for not votong tho aala.y-grab
bill, 1t was no indication Of the sentiment OF the
farmers nor Of tho Committee, Tue resolution
WAS voted down merely because the Committee
felt it to bo beyond their province to take any
action which would commit tho people they
represented. This Committee was charged
simply with tho task OF fixing the time and place
for holding the Convention In case 1t Was decld-
I'd that tho farmers should go into polftios Us an
independent party. Tho vote was, therefore, no
Indication Of tho feeling among tho farmers On
the currency question. This is left for them to
express at their Convention In Springfield, and
the question will undoubtedly exert considerable
inadence in the selection Of delegates. But
thoao who bolloye t1at the farmers all side with
Messrs. Morton and Logan in favor Of . depre-'
ciated money and breach OF tho national faith,
will be enlightened by tho following dispatch to
tho Chicago journal OF last evening:
