WHAT The SENATE Will Do IN AN EMERGENCY.
BY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUSE
WASHINGTON, Feb. PA newspaper correspond
ent asked Senator Bayard this evening if there was
any possibility that the Democrats would prevent
the completion of the count in the event that the
Louisiana case went against them. The Senator re-
piled with a great deal OF emphasis, no. they may
defeat us but they cant disgrace us; they may
bring us misfortune, but they cant bring us into
contempt"
In spite cf the distinct assertions of leading DEM
ocrats in both houses however there continues TO
be a strong suspicion among the Republicans that
the House Democrats do not mean 10 allow the
count To be completed if Louisiana should be de-
clared for Hayes.
One cause for this suspicion is the accusation OF
bad faith against Republican members of the Com
mission which il current in Democratic circles, and
which would seem TO be put forth excuse for
AL intended refusal To carry out the terms of the
compromise II is alleged that certain members OF
the Commission who were upon the committee

msnd that no obstacles should be placed in the way

John o'Brien's Circus.

"About this time" as the almanac makers
have it, the red wagon comes into town, and
the bill-boards are adorned with pictorial
works in gorgeous colors, depicting 'Fierce
Forest Fieuds" and "Desert Demons" not
forgetting the athletes in tights, and pretty
lady riders in short clothes. The most staid
newspapers are illustrated with 'tBeasts,
Birds and Beauties" and every fellow in town
who has got girl invites her to attend the
great moral show, examine the elephants
trunk, and see the camel get bis back up be-
cause the ostrich presents his bill 10 the man
in the ticket wagon-admission fifty cents,
children half price. 1t is a dangerous thing,
if you do but know it, to take your girl to
see the show, and we warn you before o. 'Brien
gets bere. She may be so thin that she cant
make shadow, but when she hears the old
clown she will grow so fat that the big wo-
mans clothes in the side show wont ft her.
Some old curmudgeons are always harping
on the ''sarcus" of their boyhood's days
why the little affairs they had in their grand
fathers days didn't cost so much to run as it
does to feed 0'Briens mules, and the amount
Of money be pays out in a month, to make no
mention of what be takes in, would have as
tonished the antique manager, as our taxes do
those who settle the bills. 1t has been said
that nothing beats skies but a miracle and
John O'Brien's new enterprise is something
hard 10 equal for when a manager merges
six shows into one, be exhibits nerve which
not only deserves, but commands success
For in amusements, as in more practical mat
tiers, we are all like the Irishman, who. in
purchasing the boots said "never mind the
size, give the biggest you can for the money"
The big show isannounced in another column
to appear here on next Thursday, May Sd,
and the small bills will tell you all about it.
If you find that your girl has engaged to go
to the big show with another fellow, why 90
and get another fellows girl and get even.
Buy peanuts. lemonade, and candy for her,
aud your future happiness msy be the result,
and who knows but you may name the first
born John 0'Brien, in honor of the famous
animal iEI orter and amusement monopolist.n

Rights and Duties of Capital.

Were these once combined under the
leadings of a well-trained conscience,
there would be less occasions for strikes
and trade-uniOns. 1t was no time to
say it while the lahor-inteI ests, in blind
and revengeful recklessness, was incit-
ing mobs, defying law, burning bridges,
destroying freight, impeding travel and
paralyZing business. But now that
such folly and crime are bearing the
fruits of painful regret, it is in order
calmly to search for the original respon-
sibility Of these atrocious and disgrace
full outbreaks.
There is, to begin with, a sullen and
unreasOning envy of the wealthy that
becomes ii latent espit du corps among
the working class. This is offset by a
certain cool Indifference, and self-cOm-
placent, well-to-do feeling in the former
class, not meant for contempt but easily
construed into it. When finally distress
cripples capital and stagnates business,
and labor becomes drug, and strug-
gle and suffering on the part of the la
boring-class apply the match, this la
tent and infiammable feeling of envy
blazes up at wage reductions, and es-
pecially when, in the rapid settling
down of values inevitable upon our
grand legal-tender drunk, these wage
reductions are repeated. But cap
capital ought to accept its own full
share of responsibility for not prevent
ing these blind outbreaks. 1t is more
intelligent and long headed, and, while
rightfully possessing all superior advan-
tages that accrue, it ought to weld them
under the motto nObIesse Oblige. Supe-
riOr advantages impose moral ebliga-
tiOns; and these are not simply to be
measured by legal rights or the present
stress of circumstances. The great
manufacturing corporation may say
'We are losing money. We must there
fore reduce wages, or shut up alto
gether." ''But," it is rejOined, .''for
many prosperous years you have been
making money, and making it fast, and
while you shut the mill and travel in
Europe, the laboriDg hands trained for
your business and located by it hand
down and suffer-" ''But, if they are
paid TO date, have we not right to do
what we will with our own ?" Yes
the legal right-and after that comes
moral dictates of the higher equity of
humanity, goodwill, the ''honor due to
all men," which cannot be sued for in
courts of law nor repudiated by stat
utes of limitation. There are duties as
well as rights of capital. And we think
it due, Notwithstanding the recent dis
graceful tokens, to the average good
sense and moral sense of the American
wOrking-class to say that, if capital
should square its rights and duties with
the golden rule, the rights and duties of
labor would also hasten to ADJUST them
selves in accordance with the mutual
welfare of the body polite.
1t is significant proverb that corpor-
atOns have no consciences. But, if
Christianity in its fair play of moral
forces cannot put one into them, it must
be confessed failure. The idolatry of
heathendOm is cruel in its grosser ways,
but cOvetousness, which is the idolatry
of ChristendOm, is also cruel in its re-
spectacle devices for bringing down the

The Strike Ended.

The strike by railroad employees vir-
tually ended last week. There is yet
much trouble with the miners in the
Pennsylvania coal regions, and the hand
of the Molly Mcguire is showing itself
wherever there is a labor disturbance.
Those railroads which have not already
resumed fl eight trains, propose to begin
to-day. Some of the corporations take
back their old employees at old pay.
while others will make no terms with
the strikers, but discharge every one.
Mr.. Vanderbilt has ordered that $780,
600 be distributed among the employees
of the New York Central on account of
their loyalty to the Company, and he
promises an increase of pay as soon as
the business of the road justifies it.
United States troops will be kept at
their post until all danger of trouble is
over.

screws of mammOn upon the labOrlng
class. This talk about our all coming
down to the hardpan of resumption is
well enough. But what if, to begin
with, the tactic and comfortable under
standing of capital is, that big salaries,
with various fat plums to pick, costly
buildings and fine equipments are to be
set by for the management, and then
fat dividends on watered stock for the
stockholders, and after that, the work
ing-men, who have but hard-earned
living to begin with, must meet the plea
of hard times and enforced economy by
repeated reductions of wages. And this
with perhaps such a cool indifference
and curt peremptoriness, as if to add
evaporation to the distress of struggling
poverty. Are not such moral mal-ad
ijustments more or less at the bottom
of such widespread discomfort, and
ought they not to be remedied by a
truer harmony between the the rights
and the duties of capital, in other words,
by putting into capital conscience
based upon the royal law of the golden
rule? 1--WE are not making enough"
says capital, to pay you $3.50 per day.
You must work for S1.35.n "But re-
JONES the labOrer, "you make enough
to pay these big salaries, to water stock
and still pay large dividends, to build
palatila offices and station houses" Is
there not after all better way to recon-
cile labor with capital than by the stern
force of law backed by bullets and po-
lice clubs ? Live and let live. Let
capital retain every legal right, all its
superior advantages of sagacity and en-
terprise. Let it combine and grow
colossal at its own risk, for there is a
st. Helena for every Napoleon who I'M
dertakes too much. But let it also
transtigure its legal rights with good
will and sympathy and the honor due
to all men, and then, these suicidal fol-
lies and short-lived tyrannies of the
strikers and the incendiaries will be
forestalled, and the last resort and very
costly remedy of courts and bayonets
and prisons will be observed by moral
processes of humanity, gentle as sun
shine and fruitful as the rain.-Spring-
field Republican.
