Fifty thousand workmen are on

Fifty thousand workmen are on a
strike in this country at the present
time, if the estimate is correct. Cor
rect or not, the number is sufficient
to suggest to employer and employ
ed alike that it would be infinitely
better ito resort to arbitration, like
an equity court, is the bedrock solu-
ton of the abor-and-capital ques-
ton. Everybody must hold their
gaze to this until everybody sees it.

This is an off year in Indiana, there
being no governor to elect, but with the
rest of the state ticket, half a leg
.islature and a United States SEN
ator to be chosen, Hoosier politics
are beginning to stir. In order to re-
elect Senator Harrison the repub-
licans must carry 10 senatorial and
13 assembly districts that were dem
ocr attic by fair majorities last year.
There is also a weather eye out for
1888, but now that Indiana is no Ion
ger an October state we shall be
spared some of the stories of''soap"
in that campaign.

McGaffey's defeat was quietly ac

McGaffey's defeat was quietly accom-
plished by some of his townsmen,
whom he has sharply fought in the
past on the temperance ISSUE"
know that to be untrue. Camp con-
soles Mr.. McGaffey with the fact
that the aforesaid townsmen had 10
take strong temperance man to beat
him with. l don't see that any such
conclusion can be drawn; but can
see that they wished to vote for an
honest temperance man. Camp says
that Mr.. McGaffey should remember
that any earnest temperance man at
once secures the hatred of the rum
power, and tells him what he must
expect In the way of all possible eff
fort to compass his defeat, etc.
l should hardly suppose Mr.. Camp
would like Glover to understand that
he thinks Glover stands 40 for rum
power against II for temperance, or
Barton 1O4 against IS, or Irasburgh
100 to 0, or even Newport 80 against
Z; and other towns in like proper
ton. That's a shade too much for
anybody to swallow even in the way
of consolation.
I believe when Mr.. Camp says
that this office has had to go begging,
he forgets that one D. NJ. Camp re-
Gently came into the south end of
this county, begging for county Of
fee. [ hope and believe the slur
made by him against good, clean,
honest temperance men, who do not
happen to belong to, or wish to as
sociate with temperance ''cranks,"
who compose the defunct Orleans
County Temperance Association will
be remembered, and when David
comes forth with his little sling to
kill the Goliath of opposition, some
time hereafter, may he meet with as
severe defeat as did Mr.. McGaffey
in the late election.
A MAN FROM THE SOUTH END.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1886-03-22


The communication in another
column relative to the matter of
county commissioner, while it is
somewhat acrid, will help to
show some of the causes that COM
passed Mr.. McGaffey's defeat. 1t is
probably pretty we'll known that the
disappointment and dissatisfaction
occasioned by the removal of the
shire to Newport makes anything
that seems to originate at that point,
offensive, and that many have an
tipathies against certain men there
which, to say the least, are strong.
AS the article shows there were those
VINO believed that the nomination of
Mr.. McGaffey was instigated by Mr..
Camp of. the E1press, and that in
some way the move was in the in
terests of future political candidates.
This inspired part of the opposi-
ton to Mr.. McGaffey. Mr.. Nc
Gaffey is a temperance man, but he
has enemies, and it is probably true
that the lively interest taken in
Judge Dutton at the time was not
lessened by personal love for Mr..
McGaffey. The criticism made on
the "almost defunct County Temper
ance Society,"" while it is not neces-
sary to call the few who alone have
tried to keep it alives cranks," de-
serve some thought. When the
people of the county have not active
temperance spirit enough to main
tain the organization SO that one
meeting a year. at least, shall be
called and attended, /. is time when
those outside the county, both tenn
perance and non-temperance mer
have right to criticise, and it might
be we'll for all to ask ourselves wha
the society is doing for the good o.
the cause. While the defeat may
be chagrin to Mr.. McGaffey, i
will be no loss to him pecuuiarlly
and Judge Dutton who receives th,
election will find opportunity to do I
good work with emoluments that vii
not be embarrassing.

dives, turned it's whole staff loose
Sunday night between midnight and
l o'clock, covering as many of the
most notorious places as possible.
The law provides that all such dens
shall close at midnight, but the Neaos
men found them full with open bars,
and running with back OF side doors
open under the noses of the police.
The NeaUs adds that Mayor Carter
Harrison is the owner of one of the
worst dives and of several saloons
that Congressman Frank Lawler is
part of dance-house and gives the
names of lot of county commission

property of the same kind. The thing
which takes the edge off the "expos-

Chicago knew it all before.
Mr.. Gladstone's scheme for the
government of Ireland is outlined by
a London journal, but it may not be
more than good guess. 1t pro-
poses the establishment of single
chamber of parliament at Dublin
and embodies the principle of minor
ity representation. Ireland will con-
tinue to send members to Westmin-
ster not in proportion to her popula-
ton, but in proportion to her con-
tribution to the imperial revenue.
Under this scheme there would be
80 Irish members of parliament.
The police are to be disarmed, and
are to be under control of the gov
eminent at Dublin. Provision is
made for the use of the imperial
forces when needed for the security
of life and property. The govern
ment at Dublin will not have power
to impose duties on British goods,
to treat with foreign powers, to en-
ploy the revenue of the country for
the endorsement of any religious
code or to pass measures to impair
the validity of contracts.
The labor troubles noted last week
continue on an extensive scale on
the Gould railway system in the
Southwest, in the. coal regions of
Pennsylvania, and in factories in
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island and
Connecticut. The total number of
persons now out on strike is estimat-
ed at over $4,000. The number en-
gagged in the railway strike is some
10000. The grievances by which ii
is sought to justify the contest are
alleged wrongs inflicted not upon all
the striking Knights, but upon few
of the brotherhood employed by the
Texas & Pacific Company, bank
| rupt concern now in the hands of q
receiver. The Knights side of the
controversy is that the order was de.
fed at the railroad shops at Marsh
all, Texas, by the discharge of &
prominent Knight because he was 6
local leader and organizer, and The
substitution of men not belonging tC
the order for those who were mem.
bers of the brotherhood. Efforts a
compromise are making. There has
been no violence as yet, but the
worst effect of this strike and othe
labor troubles is to paralyze business
