The Strikes.

While the strike at the Lonsdale mills con-
tinues the cable brings reports of similar
movement among the colliers of North Wales
from q like cause.-the reduction of wages.
Everywhere in the New World and in the Old
there appears to be fearful stagnation in
business, and the evils from which both labor
and capital suffer are the consequence. Ex-
perience has proved, however, that strikes
are bad remedy, except in rare
cases and under unusual circumstances,
and we cannot regard the Lonsdale move
ment as among the exceptions. Hard
as it would be to reduce wages to the standard
fixed by the company there seems to be no
escaping the conclusion that the ruling
prices for the class of goods manufactured at
Lonsdale are too low to justify keeping the
mills running. Besides all this. the contest
is a very unequal one. We have it on the
authority of the Providence Journal, news
paper thoroughly informed on the subject,
that the owners of the Lonsdale mills are in
position to shut down their gates or to run
their mills without fear of commercial con-
sequences. The will of the Goddard
Brothers is law in their own mills, and their
action will be law to all the other mill
owners in New England. Already the
Messrs. Chace, at Valley Falls, have followed
their example, and. they too, we believe,
are equally capable of vanquishing their
help. 1t is precisely for this reason-the
power on the one hand and the helplessness
on the other-that we suggested arbitration
as the remedy for the trouble The question
at issue is purely a business question, and
if the strike is unwarnnted because the re-
duction is necessary it is not possible to
establish it in a way more unmistakably or
satisfactorily. The manufacturers may
triumph without this, but it is the only way
to do full justice to the operatives, and the
more misguided they are the more necessary
is some such method of settlement as we
suggest.

power is subdued. The recent decisive vic
tory of Ayachuco has annihilated the last
remains of the Spanish force Not a foot Of
territory in all that vast extent owns the do
minion, not bayonet sustains the cause, Of
Spain" Does the state of things in Cuba
bear any resemblance to what Mr.. Clay then
described? He took pains to communicate
to the Russian government the long and
patient forbearance of the United States
during the struggle between Spain and her
colonies ''It has existed" he said, sin
greater or less extent seventeen years. Its
earlier stages were marked by the most
shocking excesses, and throughout it has
been attended by almost incalculable waste
of blood and treSure. During its continu-
ance whole generations have passed away
without living to see its close, while
others have succeeded them, growing
up from infancy to majority without ever
tasting the blessings of peace" SIN the
war which has so long been raging between
Spain and her colonies the United States
have taken no part, either to produce or sus-
tain it. They have been inactive and neu-
trail spectators of the passing scenes" Our
government of that day, in spite of its in
terests, its strong sympathy and its hu-
manity, stood completely aloof until the in
dependence of the colonies was, as Mr.. Clay
said, ''fixed and irrevocable;' and if that
precedent had ''been strictly followed"
President Grant would have waited for
similar state of things in Cuba, and then
have interceded to procure from Spain an ac-
ready existing as an irreversible fact That
precedent has not been followed, and it is
absurd for the administration to cite it. We
will discuss what has really been done on its
merits when the documents shall have been
laid before Congress.

why IL win Not Dovn.

Hdrper's Weekly replying to a question ol
the Times, makes very emphatic declaration
on the subject of third term. The Times
asked whether it would oppose General
Grant if he received the regular republican
nomination" Harper's Weekly replies that
it would oppose to the end q candidate 80
nominated, and that it ''would not support
a scheme which would be fatal blow to our
free republican institution. 1t adds eff
the attempt at denomination fails it will not
be because there has been no such purpose,
but because its folly and peril have been ex-,
posed.
We are glad to see the frank admission
madein this last sentence, and are only sorry
that it comes so late in the day. The HERALD
like Harper's Weekly, has opposed the third
term, not out of hostility to General Grant
but as a question of principle. When the
folly and peril Of this scheme were first
exposed in the HERALD we were decried as
aiming at q mere vulgar sensation ye
nothing was further from our aim, as Hdrpr'i
Weekly now acknowledges in confessing th,
necessity of such an exposure.
But many signs show that the danger i,
not yet over and we should be glad if the
Weecy, which is journal of great influence
in the republican party, would help US
to warn the country of this fact
That the President has not given up
his third term designs is an open secret
among observant politicians of his own party.
There is not republican Presidential candi,
date but knows that he has General Grant as
his rival. Not an honest republican visits
the White House but is made to feel that
opposition to the third term weakens his in
fuence there. But, what is still more signif-
cant and conclusive, there is not corrupt
or unscrupulous republican base enough to
adopt the third term but is favorite at tho
White House.
That is to say, whoever, to quote the words
of Harper's Weekly, supports "a scheme which
would be fatal to our free republican institu-
tions, is at once favorite, person of inhu-
ence at the White House, no matter how
low his character or base his record. Take
as an example, Senator Spencer, of Alabama,
a person whose political career has been ex-

worst of the adventures who have made the
name of the republican party odlous in the
Southern States Senator Spencer is an open
and jealous third termer, and he has proba-
bly, to-day greater influence and more init
mate access at the White House than any
one or half dozen Of the real leaders of the
republican party. Take, again, the signif-
cant fact that all of General Grants init
mates, from General Babcock and Mr. Shep-
herd up and down, are open third termers;
that whoever desires favor from him knows
that the surest way to be refused is to be
known as an opponent of the third term.
All this does not look as though the country
was out of danger from scheme which
would be fatal blow to our free republican
institutions"

Private Letters and the Third Term

Private Letters and the Third Term.
The latest report of General Grants inten-
tions in respect to third term is that he has
written private letter to Ex-Governor Nor
gan, in which he asserts positively that he
will refuse o denomination. Another rumor
is that Senator Sargent declared lately that
he knew personally that the President did
not expect o third term. Attorney General
Pierrepont is said to have had private assur-
ances to the same effect. For more than q
year similar reports have been current, and
if they are true we are compelled to believe
that the President reposes in many persons
the confidence he refuses to the people.
AS public servant the President ought to
be frank with the people on matter of great
national Importance Private letters to poll
ticians upon the third term are not re-
spectful to the country. His personal friends,
the members of his Cabinet, his party lead
ers have no claims upon General Grant
which compare with those of his country
men, to whom he owes place and power, and
if he speaks at all he should speak to
them. For more than two years the people
have waited patiently to learn the Presidents
will in this vital question in our politics.
Conventions of his own party have protested,
the press of his own party has respectfully
urged an answer, and finally Congress has
virtually put him to his purgation by Off
cially denouncing third term policy, as un-
wise, unpatriotic and perilous to the Repub-
lie In the face of this authoritative uni
versal questioning, we cannot see how the
President can, with dignity, write private
letters declaring his purposes while refusing
to render an answer to the nation. This is
only to trife with the situation. If there
ever was time when for him to
speak openly on the third term question was
undignifed, it is past If the President can
afford to make confidants of Messrs. Morgan
and Sargent, he surely might be frank with
the country. 1t is silence that is want of
dignity now-not speech

THE CENTENNIAL APPROPRIATION BILL was
discussed in the House of Representatives
yesterday with some noteworthy results
From the discussion, and especially from
The speech of Mr.. Waddell, of North Garo.
Ina, it appears that the debate on the
amnesty question has not alienated tho
South from the Centennial, and that the
Southern people are still anxious to cast
the mantle Of oblivion over the past. This
Is well, and we hope the spirit of the
North Carolina Representative will be emu
lated by his colleagues from the South and
reciprocated by those from the North. The
high constitutional ground assumed by Mr.
Willis, Of this city, needs no serious argu-
ment, and his speech can only be regarded
IS the qualification Of the natural desire of a
young Congressman to make himself heard.
In so far as it was necessary to answer the
positions assumed by Mr.. Willis it was done
by Mr.. Hewitt, his colleague. The subject
will be still further discussed before it is
acted upon in Committee of the Whole

Legislative and Political Points at
Albany.

Albany.
Both houses of the Legislature are begin
ming to give US foretaste of their work at
this session. In the Senate yesterday Mr..
Mccarthy called up his resolution referring
that part of Governor Tilden's Message
relating to national affairs to the Speaker
of the Assembly, and moved q substi-
tute expressing regret at the small space
allotted in the Message to State affairs
and the failure of the Governor to suggest
remedies for abuses in State administration.
Mr.. Mccarthy made long speech in sup
port of his resolution, arguing in favor of
General Grants administration In all this
Mr.. Mccarthy only aggravated the fault of
which he complained in Governor Tilden.
Mr.. Gerard offered joint resolution amend
ing the constitution so as to abolish the
Superior and Common Pleas courts in this
city, and to transfer the judges and causes
to the Supreme Court. The Governor sent in
message in reply to the resolution calling for
the results of the Canal Commission investiga-
ton He refers the Senate to the Attorney Cen
eral for information, and reproves that body
for making light of the reform task he has
undertaken Assemblyman Watts bill gives
the Mayor of New York authority to issue
licenses to persons desiring to engage in
scavenger business without interference of
the Board of Health, which he claims now
only allows the Odorless Company to do the
work. Mr.. Peabodys Bank bill, introduced
in the Assembly yesterday, provides that
when the capital of bank is impaired pro
rata assessment on the stockholders shall be
made, and in case one or more fail to pay
within the ninety days allowed by
the present law, any other stockholder
can pay the amount of the as
sessment and have lien against
the stock held by such stockholder.
The bill grows out of the late Bulls Head
Bank trouble, where it was found impossible
to collect the assessments from some OF the
stockholders. The Fire Department bill,
ordered to a third reading in the Assembly
yesterday, gives the Commissioners power to
pension of fremen permanently disahlAd or
