An Illustration for the Striking Cigar
Makers.

The cigar makers strike has continued for
many weeks. During this long period Of
time, many thousands of men and women
engaged in this pursuit have lived in idle
ness. and have earned nothing. Hundreds
of them have drawn their daily supplies
from the stores established and supported
by funds raised for that purpose. Thou
sands of dollars have been taken from the
treasury of their trade union. and from the
treasures Of other trade unions in this city
and IN other cities, for the maintenance OF
these strikers. Let us mention "a fact for
their consideration.
Last year there were troubles in San Fran
cisco among the manufacturers Of clothing,
owing to the demonstrations Of the white
workingmen against the employment of
Cinnamon. Several factories then employ
ing white men and Cinnamon in equal num-
bers We're compelled to suspend operations.
The whites remained idle for long time.
and finally many of them left the city. But
what did the Cinnamon doy A. soon as the
Cinnamon were thrown out Of the factories

| on small scale for themselves. They Joined
together in small parties, each Of which
purchased bale of cloth with its small
means. With this cloth they began the
| manufacture Of trousers, shirts and oVcrals
ON their own responsibility. When their
goods were ready for market, they took
them to auction houses and sold them in
lots at prices SO low that the factories could
not compete; and short time ago the san
Francisco Builetm said that the Cinnamon
Of san Francisco would soon have entire
| control of this trade.
Now, did not these Cinnamon take n sem

| than TO remain in idleness, and To get their
| living, week after week, from stores sup
ported by the contributions of the trade
unions?

been expended in the support of the strike

The motley horde Of anncxationist- into
whose hands the HAYES Administration has
thus far been steadily playing, comprises all
sorts and stripes Of personal and partisan
schemers with mercantile, military, and
political ends IN view.
Foremost come the Tcyans and especially
the stock raiscr7 between the Nucccs and
the Rio Grand'. who are outs pokcn in their
demands that the boundary shall be moved
back TO the Sierra Madrc. They, of course, are
consulting simply their presumed business
interests IN calling Tor war and annexation.
With the border line shifted westward and
the army outposts put at the mountains in
stead Of on the river, their ranches might
be safer, they say, from Lipan raiders.
They would also be at hand to spoil the
Canaanitcs, in case so holy war were
begun. War; too, would bring great army
to the Rio GIande which they would supply
with food, with fodder with teams for
transportation, with wood for fuel, with
mules and horses. They would also have
claims for damages done by the troops. In
short, they soc themselves growing rich ont

An Exclamation Desired.

Our distinguished religious contemporary,
the hd'pcndcpi, considers with satisfaction
the letter of Judge STRONG respecting the
Electoral Commission, which was recently
published by The Sun. "The whole thing,
writes the independent, sis in the compass
Of nutshell. Judge STRONG and the ma
jority of the Electoral Commission hold to
the doctrine that the appointment Of Prcsi-
DENTAL electors, and the ccrtllcnton of their
appointment, are functions exclusively de-
posted by the Constitution in the Statca
themselves ; and that when the Statcs
through their constituted authorities, have
acted upon the subject, thoir action is final
and subject to no review or correction by
Congress when counting the voto-.'
Now, this being 50, will the Independent
kindly inform the public upon what ground
Judge STRONG and his follows in the Ecc-
toral Commission decided that the vote of
Florida must bo counted in favor Of HAYES,
when the supreme Court of the state, after
examining the question, had iudically de-
tclnincd that the only real electors of Flori-
da were those whose votes were east in favor
Of Mr.. IlLDEN, and that the Returning
Board had committed fraud in alleging
that the HAYES electors were chosen and

audaclous usurpation. In 1870 Congress cx-
picitly forbade every department from in
volving the Government in contracts for
the future payment of money, without cx-
press appropriation. Here is the language
Of the Revised Statutes:
"sso 1878. No department OF tic Government shall
exnend In any one fiscal year any sum in excess Of a
preparations made by Congress for that fiscal year or
involve the In any contract for the future
payment OF money Ia excess Of such appropriations"
No prohibition could be moro explicit than
this OF which the War Department took no
notice. when the dead clause of 1861 was
dragged out of the grave and made to do
duty as living authority for forbidden act
The Administration took the step against
the advice OF some Of its most discreet OIL
cials. Gen. SHERMAN addressed an inquiry
to Judge Advocate General DUNN rs to the
true meaning Of the section already cited
and its operation, II existing. He replied on
the 9th Of March, 1877, in these words;

In the face OF this opinion and others
equally sound, the Executive went on and
made contracts, to run until the 31st Of De-
ccmber, after having summoned Congress
to meet on the 18th Of October, TO consider
the very question thus prejudgcd. And,
what is most extraordinary OF all. the Com
mittee on Appropriations have reported the
Army bill to the House, wholly ignoring
this defiance of law and Constitution, and
thus establishing the most pernicious prccc-
dent In our history, the fraud by which
HAYES was seated in the White House

the expense Of honor and the loss of public
confidence. Whoever consents to ratify
this bargain. by which vital principle
