STRIKES.

We will not go into the merits of
trade unions " and strikes, dou bt-
less many CT the unions were found>
ell for protection and could be de-
Tended on principle, but we must
say we are surprised at the suicidal
course frequently adopted by them
in their strikes. The New York
Herald has the following sensible
remarks on the recent ttrike of the
seven thousand 'longshoremen:
It is a perilous adventure for
men to1cave their labor at this time
of year and in city crowded as
ours is by thousands of men out of
employment and with needy, per"
haps even hugry, families to sup>
port. Without going into the
technicalities of the case as to weth>
er the reduction in pay which the
employers of labor endeavor to ems
force is an injustice to the men, the
impolicy ofglving up at this time
Of year any labor that will keep the
pot boiling ought to be clear to the
common sense of every person con-
cerned. 1t is proper, undoubtedly,
for men to wish to get the best
wages they can; it is the common
and natural impulse Of all to endea,
vor to hold on to what they have,
and men, no doabt, will resist reduc-
tiou m ;tenaciously than they will
demand increase. But as their
demands is conceded, the right OF
the employers to get their work
done as cheapIy as possible goes
w.t. it. Can the places of these
men be supplied by others who can
do the work as we'll, and who will
willingly work for what these nen
refuse ? This is the one practical
point in the case, and this is tn
point the strikers should have con
sidered. Can they enforce their
demand? If they cannot they

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Nothing that man can do, III
letters, arts or diplomacy, can give
him half the popularity with the |
masses as having been successful
military leader. So, however, much |
a political party may do for she
liberty and happiness of the citizen,
the promotion of commerce, the
flrtherance of the arts and the
general veal of the country, it is
counted as naught when b, ought
alongside the records of party
that has inaugurated and success
fully conducted a great war, civil
or foreign. With this truth as
settle principle it is strange that
any one of a particle of political
knowledge should have been sur
prised at the success of the Repub>
lican party for period after the
war, whatever be its expressions
and disregard of constitutional re-
straints. But it is equally true
that when party, whose only
principle is sectional hatred and
whose only basis is popular favor,
begins to decline, its work is finish
ed and 1t must fall 10 pieces or
leave old issues and re>organize
Such is the present position Of the
national Republican party. 1t was
builded in blood and its vital prin>
cipal was sectional hatred. Time
however is curing the bitter feel
ings between the contending por-
tons of our country, and common
sense, which in war is deadened by
fanaticism, has once more asserted
its sway and is teaching the people
of all sections of our land that we
have a common country and a COM
mon cause, i. G. the promotion Of
its welfare, and that constant in
testine pickering is as unwise as it
is sinful, and it has shown its de-
sre for naternal goodwill BY Il
most astonishing political revolu>
ton.
What then is the future of the
Republican party? The Tribune
a.luding to this subject thinks
there is Yet hope fer the party upon
certain conditions of reform, but il
ignores the fact that political rev.
olutions like all others can never
90 backwards, and that it is impos>
sible for party to work a reform
that would be appreciated and pro
duce dny effect unless upon long
time and severe trial. The Tri>
bume says:
Two years of administration yet
remain to those in power. Wheth-
er these are to be the last. depends
entirely upon the way in which
they are emplt ycd- Wise and
