4 report comes all the way from Idaho
that 65 men, mostly cowboys, have organ
lied as brigands to capture President
Arthur and company at Yellowstone
park. They think the nation will offer
about S50O0O0 for their release. 1t
might not be a bad stroke for Arthur after
all. He could learn what the people
thought of him. If they should pay
S5OOQOO for his release it would look as
if he had enough popularity to run for
second term. If thev didn't raise a cent
he might be sensible enough to know
that his presence was more necessary in
New York city than in Washington,
Fortunately the salary is now $4,000, so
that he could probably get himsslf clear
for that amount. If not Jay Hubbell
could make an assessment on the post
office clerks. Arthur could JOIN The blue
ribbon society and follow Mrs. Hayes
custom in banishing wine from the
white house. This would be no longer
necessary were he not to run for a sec.
ond term. m.-Detroit Spectator,

Paralysis as a Weapon.

s we SAID last Sunday that the working
masses, in dealing with monopoly here
after, must strike mercilesslv. A cores
pondeHt writes us that he. fears such
language sayors too much of radicalism
to commend itself to the general public.
Truth never fears for the effect of
words that it knows to be true. We say
what we believe. .
Truth does not believe that a strike
should be ordered save as a last resort,
and after all efforts on the part of work
lngmen 70 obtain justice have failed.
The telegtaphers struck only after re-
peated attempts, all of which were ig-
nored, to obtain hearing from the COM
panies. Their strike was premature, for
the brotherhood had no funds at COM
mand and wretchedly managed, in that
it was butpartial, and the shares sci by
monopoly. such as that involved in Or
dering badk the Rapid operators, were
instantly fallen into. Instead of pro-
ducing paralysis the strike brought
about simply inconvenience, which the
companies managed to tide over by the
employment of scabs, the forced service
of the railroad members Of the brother
hood and Of public officials, and other
resources, besides the unlimited expen-
diture of money.
Paralysis would have forced the mo-
nopoly to terms but the leaders were
too much afraid of public opinion to
strike paralyzing blow, They were
mercifnl and their mercy reacted against
their followers. Public opinion pattcd
the operators on the back, called them a
lot of splendid, intelligent, law-abiding
fellows, but at the same time slackened
business and enabled the companies to
pull through. The public condemned
the monopoly and its methods but
helped monopoly ont by failing to bring
any pressure to bear upon the huge
thieves who insist that the telegraph op-
orators shall earn wages simply as the
poems of the thiefeontrplIed monopoly.
The thief-tOntrolIed MONOPOLY haswon
the fight by a mercilcss warfare upon the
operators. And every monopoly in its
dealings with labor, is mcreiless. Or
ganized capital is cruelty mercilcss.
Capital has no mercy and never had, to
show TO labor when labor was the under
dog in the fight. Why then should la
Dor, where it has fair show Of wiring
ing justice from capital, tie one of its
hands behind its back in Difference to
alleged public opinion that seldom or
never is with the under dog ?-Rochcs-

The war between the trades Unions and

course, with the yigor which made the
contest 50 animated during the first two
or three weeks Of the fight, but witty a
pertinacity which shows no signs of
rcIcnting. So far the enemy have been
badly damaged-their loss in subscribers
has certainly Leen heavy. We are con-
vinced that it has failed principally on
the morning journal, but from the large
increase of the street sales and regular
subscribers which the Post has secured
ii seems that the Bulletin has also re-
reived severe punishment.-IIayes Val

The Building Associations.

Whatever strikes at the building
and loan associations of Cincinnati,
strikes at an institution which is work
ing more, and is more capable of
working in the direction of a solid,
social, and industrial progress than
any other possible institution. Next
to those wise labor associations which
selfrespecting laborhas organized for
its own protection, these organizations
are the most democratic and efficient
agencies in building up a solid and
many sided community, in creating
among the masses a home feeling, in
diffusing the comforts and convent
ences of life, in creating a social Or
der, which shall be stable, conserva-
tive, composed of contented families,
attached to the soil, enjoying comforts
and conveniences, growing IN intelli-
gence and refinement, acquiring Gull
ture without ceasing to be effective
producers. Indeed, this institution
is but a consequence of or a wise aid
in the work of labor unions rightly
directed. The one is intended to Sc
cure such wages as labor a with
comforts live on F.; the other is design
ed to furnish TO all classes, but chiefly
to laborers and men of small means
of all classes, a means of converting
small savings into comfortable homes.

Cincinnati NeUS:-Prohibition or
taxation is the republican policy
The people of Ohio are to be offered
the alternative of a fanatical and i'm
practical attempt to control men by
law in their private habits, tastes,
and appetites, or taxation which, by
its terms and according to its his
tory, is not license. The logic of
their position as To license and tax
leads directly to prohibition. That
which is so contrary to morals and
public purity that it can not be Ii
censed, ought to be abolished. They
say it must not be recognized or Ii
censed, and hence, if it is so wicked
that the law can not even recognize
it, although it will tax it, the logic
leads to the horn of the dilemma.
AS the republican party can not be
presumed to be illogical or inconsis.
tent, it must be for prohibition and
using taxation merely as a reduction
ad absurdo or means of proving the
necessity for abolishing what car
not be recognized or licensed.

Not less than 5000 marks on Gin
cinnati houses stand as records of
