CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

IT is not worth while for the government of the
United States TO any attention to the insults to it's
flag by the Mormon Church until it has completely
indicated the majesty of the Nation against the
tnued violation of its laws by the Mormon Church for
many years. When it has finished that work. and
duly punished the men who have been in open re-
beion against the laws of the United States there
will not be left outside of the as enough authorities
of the Mormon Church to be punished for the lesser
insults to the fag.-New York Tribune
CHEAP labor, such as that imported during last
year from Poland, Bohemia Italy and Hungary, may
to be profitable but doubt if it will prove in
the long run to be So The fewer we have of men so
ignorant and vicious, and mbued with the spirit of
foreign communism the better it will be for the
try. If bring them here must expect to
keep them here and the result will not be all desir-
able for they are the opponents not only of cheap
labor. but Of soth dirt ignorance, vice and anarchy
1t does not require during periods of mercantile de
preston great deal of that sort Of leaven eaven
the whole labor loaf AS little of it possible Will be
best and what will be best of all for EN- ployer as
well as employed, is fair days wage for a fair day S
work Anything less than that will reduce our intel
ligent. skilled and manly workmen to the degraded
condition of those of the old world. Philadelphia

BY constant vigilance, certain dispositions and d.
sres may be held in temporary abeyace but they are
always ready to assert themselves with violence pro-
portioned to the restraint which has been imposed up
them. Religion has done much to effect modi6ca-
tons, but it only brings about certain compro-
misses. A man can no more add cubit to his stature
by taking thought than he radically change his
sentia nature after fifty years of age. If he finds
that his life is to be constant fight between his ideal
and himself he may we'll accept his doom in patience
This is fatalism which is suggested by the law phys
biological and psychological and let struggle as he
pleases he cannot dismiss it. What he can do how
ever is to be resigned to himself and with desperate
courage fulfill his obligations TO others. 1t will
bring happiness but it will give self respect. Man
should face life with the fortitude he faces death
-Pittsburg Chronicle.
THE surrender of the Chicago West Division Rail
way Company to the rioters who have held possession
of their property for than week is both pusl-
luminous and stupid, and the act of discharging the
new who have braved the clubs and brickbats of
the strikers in order to keep the running is if
correctly reported nothing less than base treachery
1t is hoped that the strikers will follow up
their advantage and demand full wages for all the
time they have kept the from running and make
an example of the president who put them to the in
convenience of ditchng the and throwing stones
at the policemen. They ought to require him to re-
sign also OF course if the company are satisfied to
abdicate in favor of their poyes nobody else
need object But when the business of great city
has been thrown in great confusion and the law has
been set defiance and blood has been she'd upon the
public street notice must be taken of both the
cause and the result by the public press. The iudg
ment of impartial observers will be that the West D
vision Railway Company have not only put in jeop-
ardy their rights and property but have compro
missed the majesty of the law, in which all have com
mon interest.-New York Evening Post.
