Flat Suicide.

Nothing more suicidal has been wit
messed in the history of this country thar
the course of the workingmen who permit
themselves to be the tools and slaves OF
executive committees" of their trades
unions. Under the tyrannical orders of
these irresponsible committees, many
thousands of honest, well disposed work
ingmen are going without work, all over
the land, and their families are suffering
for want of food Strikes have become
epidemic all over the land, and labor
troubles form Il large portion of the bur
den of the news of the daily press. The
effect upon the business of the country
has already become alarming. Manufac-
turers no longer dare to make contracts.
No mill. owner, manufacturing company,
railroad, or concern of any kind employ
ing any considerable number of men, has
any assurance that his or their business
will not be stopped any day, for an indeiin-
ite time, by order of some master work
man." known or unknown. No capitalist
dare start a new enterprise. The result, if
this sort of thing continues, will be to
permanently close thousands of mills,
wind up any number of manufacturing
concerns, and deprive hundreds of thou.

their daily bread. The tradesunions are

dressed a letter to them calling their at

was sent
April 20, 1856.
Dear Sir We have received yours Of the
10Th instant. 1t is quite impossible for any
one in public life to undertake to defend him
self from msrcprc, cntution and falcsehOOd
appear ny from time to time in the nCwspa-
pcrs, and we have long made II rule to take
no notice of such publications. The deep
gratitude, however, that we feel is due TO the
soldiers of the republic and the high character
of your organization leads us to reply to your
note by saying that the whole statement in
the Herald relating to us or either of us Is II
pure, unqualified talschood both in substance
and form, fabricated from nothing but the
mind Of the writer. and utterly unworthy OF
attention in any quarter. The statutes to
which you refer have always met our tuli ap-
proyal' as we haye recently on importan' &c,

GEORGE +. EDMUNDs,

The treatment given by the Hcrdld to
this square, straightforward and complete
denial, is abOminably shabby. 1t calls it
an "evasive reply" and it declares that
the senators abuse the press" We ven
ture to say that the press-that is the de
cent and truthful portion Of the press
does not feel at all abused. Mr.. IIoar and
Mr.. Edmunds simply call "a falsehood 4
falsehood. They allude most properly to
the misrepresentation and falsehoods
which have appeared from time to time
about them. Such Misrepresentation
have gone far beyond all bounds of de-
cency. They have been simply outrage
Gus. This case of pure, bold, absolute
fabrication concerning them is only lit
tie more fragrant than number OF other
similar cases. The Herald says
We have not inquired where our occa
sional correspondent got his information
or misnformation, rs Messrs, Hoar and
Edmunds insist-but we suppose he re
ceived it from some senator, who perhaps
was a practical joker, or perhaps wished
to vent little quiet malice upon Messrs
Edmunds and Hoar.
1t is not likely that the Hcrdld'S cores
pendent got his transformation from any
senator, quiet or noisy, malicious or kind
ly. Ii WAS much more probably made ou
, of whole cloth by a penny-a-liner, who ha'
been feed by some one to get lies into cir

The President and the Tariff Bill

President Cleveland is reported to be so
strongly in favor of the Morrison tariff
bill that he has announced his intention of
throwing all the influence of the executive
to secure the passage of the bill. Why he
should be so anxious for the success of
this foolish and defective measure we can
not comprehend. 1t seems, however, to
be the critical measure upon which Mr..
Cleveland proposes to test the fealty of
the party to himself, Mr.. Hewitt is Civ
ing out that the president will look upon
all Democrats in the House who vote for
the bill as "his particular friends which
of course, being interpreted, means that
they will be allowed controlling
influence in the future disposition OF
the spoils. If, under the influence OF
such promises, the House should pass the
bill, the Democratic party will have al
elephant on its hands, and no mistake
Its orators will find it difficult to explain
next fall the practical benefits of the de
struction of the wool growing interests
and the justice of compelling Maine fish
ermen to pay duties to Canada, while
Canadian fishermen bring their free fish

able to trace the slightest connection be
tween the retention of the tariff on iron

1t is said that the Mormon lobby in
Washington is very much surprised and
disheartened at the recent Snow decision
of the Supreme Court. Its members
including several "plural" wives-con-
tidently expected a reversal of the de-
cision Of the lower court-on what
grounds, it is hard to see. 1t is to be
hoped that they will be still further dis.
heartened before long by the action OF
Congress on the new Edmunds bill,
which proposes to wind up the great
Mormon corporation, and put its affairs
in the hands of a commission OF loyal
citizens. Late rumors from Utah indi.
cate that that corporation is converting
it's assets into cash and getting ready to
invest them in the names of individuals,
where it will be impossible to reach them
by any legal process; but the ill success
of the attempts at evasion of the old bill
are encouraging as to the probable sue
cess of the new one. The Supreme
Court has given the Mormon lobby one
good lesson; now let Congress give it an
other.

TRANQUILITY IN SPAIN.

Trouble in Spain was looked for a few
months since, upon the death Of Alfonso,
the King, for there was an opinion that
the life of that really inconsiderate SOW.
ereign was an indispensable condition of
the political equilibrium; that without
Alfonso the monarchy could not be kept
upon its feet. and that without the mon
archy there could not be peace, because
none Of the opposing parties was sufi-
GENTLY strong to enforce its rule, nor suf.
fciently respected by the nation at large
to rule without force. But the King
died, the King was buried, the Kings
wife was duly installed as Regent; and
so small is the place filled by a sovereign
in the constitutional monarchy Of these
days that the incest historical microscope
would be necessary to see any essential
variation in the conduct Of the State
any change that could be said to be due
to the departure Of His Majesty. So
unessential are the functions OF royalty
in the political dramas Of our time that
any boy or girl a perform them as well
as any other boy or girl. Though there
are prejudices in favor Of one or another
boy or girl. it is only the prejudice that
counts. Spain has taken without a rip
pie what it was thought might be a mo.
mentous event; and if the Queens ex.
pected baby is a boy that accident Of
nature will be equal to an overwhelming
victory for the Ministry, and the small
and much divided opposition that now
lifts its head just a little will be crushed.
But even if it is a girl the complication
will not be dangerous. Stability has
been determined by the elections so dis.
tinctly that nothing which occurs in the
Cortes can change the result reached at
the polls, assuming that the Government
will not commit any great faults of adj
ministration nor venture upon extrava'
CANT reforms, and these things may be
very safely assumed. Intrigues of am.
bilious persons-palace revolutions-are
always a feature in Spain, but at this
moment there are few possibilities even
in that field. There is practically no OPP
position; or rather there is just the op-
position that a government desires; not
enough to prevent its doing whatever it
may choose to do, but enough to afford a
pretext for not touching subjects to
which it is disinclined. If, to this, any
guarantee could be added, it would be
seen in the trivial and ridiculous direc-
tions in which the so-called Republicans
are making an issue. Representatives
who expect to sit in a national Congress,
and object to taking an oath of allegiance,
on the ground that it will deprive them
of the freedom to revolt, are not likely &c
be serious enemies of order in any con
~tinpencv.
