THERE was never more of deSpot-
ism under the most despotic govern
ments of the world than in this late
strike. The leaders ordered tens OF
thousands into poverty and utter de-
pendence. Women and girls were
ordered from places, where they
were honestly sustaining themselves,
and the misery and probable shame
that must follow, as results of des-
potie rule, will never be fully known.
These leaders have committed un-
pardonable crimes against innO-
cent andlunproteetedclass,an and they de-
serve the scorn of all. The strike in
its results Isl successful move against
the honest independence of an army

Gov. MURRAY, of Utah. suggests
as means of exterminating Nor
monism, the abolition of the plan of
governing Utah by an elective legis-
latpre, and the substitution of a legis-
lative council, to be appointed by the
president and confirmed by the senate.
There may be nothing in the con-
stitutlon prohibiting such plan, but
where does the spirit of the constitu-
tion contemplate any such assump-
ton? Clearly Gov. Murray's fanati-
cism has gotten away with his reason.

THE senate committee now engaged
in collecting data as to labor strikes
during the last thirteen years has
discovered. that in that time there
have been in this country and
in Europe 1924 strikes, lasting on the
aggregate 54,162 days. and re-
sulting III 2 loss of 81, 2,237, :
600 to the strikers. This com
putation does not, however, embrace
the great Uelegraphers' strike, and a
few others quite recent. OF ali these
strikes seventy-two are known to
have been won by the strikers, nine
ty-one were compromised and the rest
were regarded as lost. 1t would
appear, then, that when strike is
made the chances are 22e0 to Y, or 30
to l, that it will tail, and the results
of the failure fall upon the strikers
and their families.

The Democrats of Minnesota have
put this admirable plank in their plat
form:
"Resolved, That every species of
taxation levied upon the many for the
profit of the few, and producing Il
revenue in excess of the wants of the
government, economically adminis-
tered, is unjust, tyrannical and danger
Gus. A sound policy requires that the
business ef the people should be free
from oppressive duties and vexatious
restraints, and that all legislation in
reference thereto should be impartial
in its objects and equal in its burdens.
We, therefore, favor such revision
of the. present tariff laws as will
remedy existing evils and result in the
establishment of a tariff for revenue
only as the permanent commercial
policy of this country"

THERE is no use attempting to eX-
plain the causes of Gen. Hancock's S
defeat as the Democratic presidential
nominee. We are willing to believe
Uncle Sammy was suffering under an
attack of pouts, and hence did not
help the nominee in New York; but
why was it that Montgomery county,
Pennsylvania. in which Hancock was
born, gave Tilden 27s majority in
1875 and Garfield / majority in 1880;
and why in the state of Pennsylvania
was Hancock defeated by 1896 when
Hayes had plurality of 1884? Mr..
Tilden did not help Gen. Hancock.

The federal government certainly
has the right to exercise the power Of

that the government take charge of

THE straightout Republicans of Vir-
ginia have held their convention, and
declared against Malone coalition
and the Federal government for aid
ing it in repudiating one-third OF the
state. The platform declares adher-
ence to Republican principles, favors
protection and endorses James G..
Blaine for the presidency. On the
school question it agrees with the
Democrats in opposing mixed
schools and favoring a division
of the school fund according
to population, does not stipulate for
colored teachers for colored schools.
There were about one hundred dele
gates present. among them some men
of prominence. The regular Repub-
lican organization in Virginia
will, perhaps, acquire some
additional strength this year be-
cause Of the coming presidential
battle. 1t is no secret that there will
be a struggle for admission to the
national convention between the Goa
litiopists and straightouts. The regu-
lar organization in Virginia will have
a strong outside backing il support
of it's delegation, and this will help it
in the coming state struggle.

to put life in the "old ticket" for the
