they are to be put down it should be done in
such manner as to inspire wholesome respect

IT is unfortunate that an understanding has
not been arrived at between the iron manu-
facturers ard their men. A general strike,
now threatened, can but be disastrous to all
concerned. There seems to be spirit of de-

encouragement. The country at large will be
great loser, and it is to everybody's interest
to see the works kept open if possible.

A MUGwUMPs lot is not a happy one. The
chagrin they must feel over the farce that has
been made of the civil-service rules is sup
plemented by the taunts of the Democratic
press. Even the New York Sun, a paper that
took strong stand against the election of
Cleveland, demands of them whether ''they
supported Mr. Cleveland in order to keep Re-
publicans in office" The Sun thinks that
eff that was their intention, they took very
queer way to show it." Their conduct was
''queer" in whatever light it be viewed. But
how sharper than a serpent it is to be ''guyed'
after having pulled the chestnuts out of the fire
for a thankless Democracy. The mugwumps, or
such of them at least as were not actuated by
the meanest and narrowest revenge, were SIM
pie enough to expect Democracy, by some
strange metamorphosis, to change into an
angel of light. The disappointment of such,
although inevitable, is bitter none the less,
without the added humiliation and shame of
being bullied by their former compatriots. A
great many of them are doubtless wiser than
they were year ago. The Suns last stab
however, is 'too much when it says, and with
undeniable truthfulness:
''rhere was nc participant in last years
contest so blind as not to see that the main
motive which induced the mugwumps to sus-
tain Cleveland with so much zeal was personal
hostility to Blaine, and if they could have
accomplished his defeat without electing
Cleveland they would have accepted the latter
alternative with alacrity."
Certain it is that the mugwumps would like
to have been treacherous to both parties, had
it been possible. The contempt for them ex-
pressed by the Sun is well nigh universal.

THE Journal quotes the explanation in the
News of the delay in proceeding with the new
Union Depot, and argues against its suffi-
cheney. The averment of a man
who certainly knows all about the matter and
the condition of the parties concerned, and
who is universally esteemed an honorable man,
stands against the probabilities suggested by
the Journal.-The News
This is the explanation" made in the News:
''The trouble is, primarily, that railroad
business had not been very profitable lately,
or for year or two, particularly to the throat
cutting through lines, and none of them are
provided very amply against mischance or ex-
ira expense. This state of things makes them
cautious about undertaking new enterprises
involving big OUTLAWS
The point the Journal made was this: That
this condition of things could not have been
brought about within the past sixty or ninety
days; and that, if it was the real reason why
the new Union Depot was not promptly be-
gun, then the railway managers were not treat
ing the public and the Legislature with can
dor three months ago, when they were promising
immediate work upon the enterprise as the
reason Tor the prompt passage OF the con-
demnation bill. If the explanation is cor
rect, the railways were as poor and should
have been as cautious" ninety days ago as
they are now. On the contrary, they were
booming the enterprise then, had the plans
all matured for the building, and
knew just where the money was to come
from There is screw loose somewhere
The Journal suggests no probabilities it
states facts well known to everybody, includ-
ing the News. Neither does it question the
present statements of any honorable man.
But it does say the statements made now and
the statements made sixty and ninety days
ago do not Consist

GENERAL ALIKHANoFF is no Russian at all.

That looks reasonable enough. But now Ireland
comes forward and claims Arab Bey as an Irish
man, whose name in English is Harry Barry,
begorra. The metamorphosis to Arab is not
traced with the nicely of the one first named,
but it will have to do. Not to be outdone, Scot
land makes claim to General Skobelef, the rec
ords showing that his patronymic is Scobey.
This last is equal to the famous Celtic claim that
Alexander the Great was an Irishman by the
name of McGillicuddy. He was extremely fond
of eggs, and when his cook saw him coming
home from hard days fighting, he would get
ready for him by ordering ''all eggs under the

became converted into Alexander the Great.
