LABOR TROUBLES.

The remarkable strike of the BAL
timore and Ohio railroad employees Is
vSy properly attracting the attention
of the entire country. The interest
felt in it is confined to no section, nor
no class of industry, but is regarded
by the whole people ns one OF those
peculiar phenomenas which the I'M
necessary conflict between labor and
capital has engendered. We say un-
necessary, because it proceeds from
abnormal conditions. The men who
are compelled TO resort to strikes to
procure a just recognition of their SER
vices, have neglected to provide against
contingencies that are reasonably liza
bic 10 happen in every pursuit OF lie
The fundamental thing that is want
ing in the social economy of the labor
question is organization. Not the
mere association of class, or branch
of trade, but 4 grand national broth
erhood which will include every kind
of industry pursued in the country
Capital is always banded together.
Labor should be the same. A nota-
BILE example of the efficiency of this
kind of combination is furnished in
the Grange Organization of the United
States. For centuries the farmer has
been the slave of capital. Goaded
by injustice, and smarting under
wrongs too intense to be borne, the
agricultural interests determined to
free itself from the oppression of mo-
nopolists. 1t went to work in the
right way. 1t was successful because
it had members and influence TO sup
port it. But where it has sue
ceeded many similar combinations
have failed. for the simple rea-
son tina: they were not strong
enough in themselves to stand alone
How different these things would he

term of labor included all industries
of every kind and condition. bound

road operatives with limited means
and INSTRUCTED passions, are As chat
before the breath of capital. But il
these operatives were sustained and
aided by a labor organization which
included every branch of American
industry, and had at their back the
working people of the nation, the out
come would be essentially different.
1t is not, of course. the intention OF
the BAzoo to express any opinion upon
the merits of the difficulty that now
exists. That is something with which
it has nothing to do. The point it
wishes to make is this ; that the con
fiict of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road operatives under present condi
tions is a hopeless struggle. They

Only confidence in labor can give it
courage, and unhappy the scenes Of
violence which are thrilling the coun-
try with electric fire. and stirring into
fury the passions Of men, has no ten
dency to produce different conditions.
SPREADING OF THE STRIKE.
Yesterday the railroad employees Of
the NJ. X. Il T. ROAD residing in Sc
dalia joined the innumerable caravan
of strikers, and decided Ia cast
their lot with their brethern.
1t is not the purpose of the
BAzoo to say that they acted wisely or
otherwise. In such conditions Is are
now prevailing, men must exercise
their own judgment OF what Is RICH.
and proper for them to do. What
ever influence has guided their con
duct, honesty and sincerity Of pur-
pose will hardly be denied them. But
this bv no means, implies that they
are incapable of mistakes. They have
pursued a course which they think
will rebound TO their interests. Ii Is
questionable If ii will or not. 1t Is
certainly a step that should be well
considered, since it involves too many
and too grave responsibilities t" lie
lightly or recklessly incurred, While
candid men are ready TO concede thai;
the condition of the lab,rer is hard
one, prudence will suggest that i,
might become infinitely worse. How
ever low wages may sink. there can
he found men ready to take them.
In the social and political economy
of men, labor has always been and al
ways will be. cheaper than capital.
Money has Il purchasing power that
Drawn and muscle can never equal
II has an endurance which no pa
thence can excel-which no strength
and vigor can absorb. Men cannot
afford to be lille. but money can. Ii
can wear out the patience and come
out victor in the severest struggle that
labor can inaugurate or maintain.
But even conce,ling that no such ex-
tremities will be resorted to, there Is
still another aspect Of the question
which should he carefully considered.
1t is the superabundanee Of labor. II
there were no other laborers than
those who are in the strike, their con.
condition would be infinitely better
than it is ever likely to be. There
would remain to them then pos>ibili-
ty of forcing terms. As it now is,
the railroad officials only consider
whether it is a greater evil 10 endure
dictation or a greater Inconvenience Ia
reject it. If they conclude to abide
by the latter alternative, the condition
of the striker is hopeless. He has no
means Of enforcing his demands.
Violence at best can only last for few
days. He is too weak to contend
against a nation and the whole bust.
ness werld will be in arms against
him. Defeated and undone, his pow.
er will be that of q mote tossed upon
the restless tides OF trade: to be
picked up by the hurrying currents
and thrown aside. Others will take
his place, and the world will move oil
as If the striker had never been. Ii
is a great responsibility and it is posi-
bic that it has been taken without due
regard TO the future.

The Rain Tree.

The consul of the United States
of Columbia in the department of
LerotO, Peru, has written from Yuri-
magus to President Prado, informing
him that in the woods adjacent to
the city of Moyobamba exists q tree
called by the natives Tamai-csspi
(rain tree) which possesses some re-
markatle properties. It's tree of about
80 feet high when at maturity,an of
about three feet in diameter at the
base, and has the property of
absorbing an immense quantity of
humidity from the atmosphere, which
il concentrates and subsequently,
pours forth from it's leaves and
branches in q shower, and in such
abundance that in many cases the
ground in its neighborhood is con-
Verted into a perfect bog. 1t pos

THE HERALD.
New Possessions.

The King of the Samoan Islands, in
the Pacific, has concluded to annex
his territory to that OF the United
States, or rather place himself under
the protection, direction and rule OF
our government. The New Zealand
Herald says:
The American flag has been holsted
at Samoa, and unless the action of the
consul is repudiated by the authori-
ties at Washington, the islands of the
Nayigators' group will henceforward
have to be accounted as in the pos
session of the American government.
A short time ago we gave the partic-
ulars connected with the visit of sew
eral Samoan chiefs to FIJI, whittier
they had gone to endeavor to per-
suaie Gov. Sir Arthur Gordon to
take possession of Samoa for Great
Britain. Apparently, the Samoan
chiefs had not got any encourage
ment, for, on their return home the
American consul, Mr.. Griffin, COM
menced negotiations to have the
American flag hoisted. All the pre-
liminar;es were completed on the
night of the 23d of May, a number of
documents having been signed, and
on the morning of the gath the Amer.
lean flag was hoisted at the Kings
house, at Point MoliHu, on the west
side of Apia harbor. A salute of
twenty-one guns was fired from the
other side of the harbor The Amer
lean clipper bark Menshokoff was ly-
ing at Apia at the time, and an Amer
lean man of-war is expected shortly.
A great feast was given at the Kings
house. and all the white inhabitants
were invited to go. Thakambo's son,
from Fiji, and the English consul, Mr.
Liardet went to where the feast was
being held and said they would join
them if they would haul down the
American flag while they were there;
The natives, however declined to haul
down the flag, even temporarily, and
Prince Timothy and the English con-
sui left. Mr.. Griffin, the American
consul, has recently visited Washing
ton, but it was not stated that be bad

sion of the islands.
