WHEN men who have complaints ordered to
strNe and when they forced to strike by violence
the interests of labor degraded and such efforts
alleged labor reform are calculated to antag
onism and provoke. opposition. Any person body
that oblges an operative to strike when he does not
wish to IS criminal and should be treated such by
public opinion and justice.-Chicago Times.
The american people ike fair play. and there is q
very wide conviction that Mr. Roach has not received
scant justice from the present administration At
the age Of seventy he finds himself broken in health
fortune, a victim, to all appearance, of Democratic
policy, 1t is not unlikely, therefore, that Mr. Roachs
failure will prove the precursor OF much more dis
astous political failure Of the party which has singled
him out for Observation-Disclosures Press.
LET the people refuse to be deceived by the crafty
representations of silver men and inhationsts. Let
tho dclusive idea be forever dispeed from minds
that abundance of initiate money is all that is
CURED to start boom in trade. There IS in fact,
plenty OF money lying idle at this very moment and
filing the banks to repetion and when business is
phenomenaly depressed what is wanted is plenty Of
confidence, which only come from the exclusive
employment of sound money.-New York Herald.
If the roofs should be lifted from any Of our large
cities the crimes that would be revealed would shock
those who imagine that such practices as those that
have been exposed in London do not prevail in our
cities. Much is exposed from day day in this drec-
ton. but small part only is known There are pro.
curers here as there are in London. The difference is
only one Of degree, and the is that have
not arist'cracy on one side and noverty GA the
other. except to comparatively limited extent bat
the evil prevails and it is growing crime unchecked
always will grow. 1t is the downward road that is
most easny tGaveed.-Cincinnau Comuercal-l1a.

If Secretary Manning by what he has done, and
through his circular requesting information from
II anutacturers about the tariff means nothing more
than be,ter the laws without interfering with the
protective character Of the laws and will recon-
mend to Congress in his first report the Republicans
will heartily unite with him in securing that kind OF
revision Of the tariff but if he his party have any
intention whatever to from the tariff its pro
ectve pre-, sous he and his party may as well forego
their intention the country will not have free
trade, nor anything that resembles it. Fair simple
practical revision it wants. but reduction of duties
below the protective pont.-Phadelphia Inquirer.
THE Republican party enancipated Southern labor
the Democratic party tried to keep it ensaved. The
Republican party gave Southern labor the ballot for
the defense of its rights; the Democratic party by or
ganzed assassination and fraud, robbed Southern
labor of that defense. The Republican party estab-
hshed the common school system in the Southern
States so that Southern labor might be educated, at
least in the next generation. The Democratic policy
has been to destroy that system to ippe it. Now
as OF Old that party wants Southern labor TO be gno
rant and helpless lest having political rights and the
knowledge to direct the of them, it should crush
that party III its very stronghod.-New York Tribune
THE civil-service reform Republicans know that
neither party can be intimdated into advocating the
reform, and tina amount Of educational work must
rrecede its universal adoption. They that Mr.
Curtis and his followers have practically abandoned
the work; thai they have lacked the patience and
sonabent Of true missionaries and the pertinacty
of the soldiers OF truth and have gone off in tit Of
anger because the walls of Jericho did not tumble
with the first bare Of heir horns What is done for
civserv;ce reform in the future will be without the
lowers unless they learn to subordinate their personal
vanity TO the they boast of serviAg.-MIilwau-

THERE many employmcnts in which women are
becoming the successful competitors of men; but
il these they not paid like wages. This is of
the inequalities of the labor system that is hard
rectify and impossible to justify. It is doubtless
based however, on the law of supply and demand.
There are more idle women in the country than idle
men, and greater pressure for employment As
result smaller wages accepted for the work.

WHAT would the English people have thought of
Mr.. Gladstone If his government had appointed a
board to plan and contract for ships of war be
inspected under their direction the work progressed
and then repudiate the and the work the
pretense that the first ship did not meet the expecta
tons and have this outrage sanctioned 10y the highest
law officer of the government! No nation on the globe
worthy of respect in the family of nations Id per-
NIT such wrong contemplated And make an
dent Of the United States to personally review the
com of mis- Cabinet officers toward Mr.. Roach, and
do what may be done to relieve the nation from this
reproach.-NatiOnal Republican.
