liticaY action. Gradually the members drop
away from the labor party and reorganize their
labor unions TO recover the advantages which
have been lost in the political turmoil and strug
gle.-Chicago Tribune.
THERE are doubtless many churches that will
never adopt the free system, just as there are
plenty of people who will not send their children
to the public schools; but the time is coming
when there will be plenty of free churches, and
they will be the ones to grow in numbers and
spiritual power.-New York Mail and Express.
THE question of the exclusion of Chinese i'm
migrants is purely economic. The question of
protecting such of them are now in this coun-
try is at once one of humanity and OF self-inter-
est Before proceeding further against the
Chinese. Congress should reflect how far it
wishes to proceed against American citizens IN
China.-New York Sun.
IF organized labor will keep the real wrongs
of labor constantly in the foreground, let side Is
sues alone and avoid display of power simply to
crafty trifiing disappointments, it will accom-
piish It's objects. But it must, above all, keep
its head avoid incendiary leaders, keep the
spirit of American institutions alive in its breast
and take care not to STOP over.-Denver Re-

BIZ Lent is meant simply to recall the fact that
Jesus of Nazareth, before He began the work
given Him of lifting humanity out of its Ignorance
cruelty and animal tastes and habits into knowl-
edge. sef-sacrfice and likeness to God, went
apart for a space to bring his own bodily appe-
ties into subsection to look the world and the
good things it had to offer fairly in the face and
to choose between them and life and death OF
misery and intolerable pain, endured for the help
OF others.-Philadelphia Press.
THE authority Of the court, and its right to
control the property in it's keeping, free from all
unlawful dctation must be INDICATED. Every
assault upon the property of that road, or upon
the rights and powers Of the receivers is an as
sault upon the government of the United States
The leaders of the Knights ought to be able to
see that for themselves. If they are not they
will probably find it out in good time, if there is
strength enough left in the government to exc
| cute the laws and protect its officers. Chicago
Times.
The most dscouraging feature of these con
stantly recurring bank disasters is the apparent
inability on the part of the directors and man
ayers to learn anything. The twelve hundred
working men aud women who were depostors OF
this New Jersey bank, and who will have their
little savings scaled down more than 80 per
cent. because the managers did not manage, will
be only AIN additional regiment of recruits to
the great army of victims of the managers who
do not manage, and the directors who do not di-
rect -Phiadelphia Times.
Mr.. DEpEw's method of "soution" OF the
| troublesome situation should cover a multi
plcitg of sins, even did such exist 10 expressions
of opinion which precede 1t. Employers should
unite even as employees have united. and, thus
strengthened, should resolve to give labor its
| just demands, and resist it's unjust demands.
This in brief, is his position. It could be i'm
| proved somewhat by employers, more especially
railroad employers, determining to eliminate
wrongs without delaying to effect an organza-
| tion.--Pittsburg Dispatch.
