The ultimatum of the Chicago firms is
ten hours and no increase of pay. Public
sentiment in Chicago is so strong against
the strikers that their condition will GER
tainly not be improved if they reject these
terms. A general return to work all along
the line will probably take place at an
early day.

The farmers of the United States out
number two to one all those engaged in
manufacturing, mechanical trades and
mining combined. According to the cen
sus of 1880 the number of persons engaged
in the latter industries at that time was
1897, 112, while the number of those en-
gagged in agriculture was 1910, 493 Add
to the latter the aggregate of persons en-
gagged in professional and commercial pur-
suits and it is easy to see that all the sen
sational talk about the Knights Of Labor
controlling the American people is moon
shine. 1t is the intelligent American
farming class that holds the balance of
power by means of the ballot box.

The deadlock between the republicans
and Democratic halves Of the Senate of
Ohio-which the public had been per-
mitted 10 almost forget-is again brought
to notice upon an attempt to reasonable
the Senate to listen to the report of the
Senate committee on the disputed Gin
cinnati returns. The Democratic senators
refuse to attend the session. Most of
them, it is said, are out of the State. This
looks decidedly like an unwillingness to
face the music, and will make a pretty
good issue to 60 before the people on.
when the next Legislature is chosen.

The industry and persistence of the
Mormon missionaries is surprising. We
have occasion to know that there are some
of them distributing their tracts and
pamphlets even in Vermont, and in other
parts Of the country, especially in the

elytes by hundreds. The American peo.
pie ought to assail this evil at its source.

1t was on Burnett's nomination as
United States district attorney that Mr..
Edmunds made the Improbable fight for
access to the presidents private papers
and the Republican senators adopted the
famous reflection" resolution. 1t needed
only Buruetts confirmation to settle be
yond question the fact of the Vermont SEN
atOr's utter inability to hold his party col
leagues to the course he marked out for
them during the washington
Cor. y. Y. Times.
If this correspondent had had any desire
TO tell the truth-and he has shown no
such desire or intention in any of his refer
ences to Senator Edmunds-he would have
noted the very material alteration in the
state OF the case referred to. There was
not the slightest breakdown on the part of
the Republican senators, in the case of
Mr.. Burnett. That gentleman was first
nominated in place of Duskin, suspended
for cause. The Senate asked for the papers
and the president declined to furnish
them. In his speech closing the debate,
and before the rejection resolutions
were voted upon, Mr. Edmunds very dis
tinctly stated that if the president would
withdraw the nomination and nominate
Burnett to fill Il Vacancy-Duskin's term
having meantime eNplred-the senate
would promptly consider and probably
confirm the nomination. 1t was simply
and solely because the president insisted
on the Senate's consenting to his removal
of Duskin for cause, without telling them
what the cause was, that the Senate de,
clined to consider the nomination. Later
the president backed down, and nominated
Burnett to fill vacancy. AS the case now
involved no abandonment of principle on
the part of the Senate, and no censure of
Burnett's predecessor, the nomination was
confirmed. Mr. Edmunds had indicated
his own willingness, and that of his Re
publican associates to take precisely this
action, as distinctly as he had stated their
refusal to consent to removals without
sight of the charges 1t was part of the
course which the Republicans of the Sen
ate had marked out for themselves. Thus
far there has been no variation from that
course.

1t is curious to note the various ways in
which the prevailing atmosphere of law
lessness shows its presence. In num-
Der of schools the boys have struck for
longer recesses and more holidays. At
Harvard the students have struck against
chapel exercises and at Rutgers college
in New Jersey, there have been Mornings
of the president, and speeches against the
faculty on the campus and riotous de-
monstrations because some students were
suspended for defacing the college build
ings with green and white paint. Such
things of course happen occasionally, Ill
almost all colleges of any size but the
unusual number of them at the present
time, points to connection with the gen
eral spirit of INSTRUMENTATION which is
abroad. How would it do to reconstruct
society allow every workingman to fix
his own wages and help himself from the
pockets of his employer; permit railroad
hands everywhere to elect the railroad
superintendent and directors; abolish all
existing boards of instruction and control
in the schools and colleges, and have all
teachers, professors and trustees elected
by the scholars, or students, at the open
ing of every school or college term If
there are young gentlemen in the colleges
intelligent enough to see that this ar
rangement would not be likely to work
well-and OF course there are many such
would it not be wise for them to con-
slider soberly how far it is best to go in
the direction of such an arrangement Is
not this the time, if there ever were one,
when intelligent gentlemen, young and
old, and law-abidng citizens everywhere
should uphold rightful authority. frown
on all lawless demonstrations, and preach
and practice obedience to the constituted
authorities, without which anarchy must
supplant all law and order, both in the
college and in the community at large?
