WILL THEY ARBITRATE?

The strike of the beef and pork pack
ers in Chicago is daily growing more
serious. Yesterday morning the men
already on the strike were joined by
200 beef and sheep butchers from the
Armour establishment. Barry, who
was sent from Richmond by the
Knights of Labor convention, says he
can effect no settlement as these pack
ing establishments refuse to treat with
him as an association; and he will re.
turn Immediately to Richmond to lay
the situation before the Knights con.
Vention. This strike Of the butchers
and packers promises another opportun.
ity for the Knights OF Labor to exhibit
their ability TO control their member
and effect through the means of arbi-
tration a desirable adjustment of the
question involved in the controversy.
But at present all the ad-
vantages appear to be with the pro-
prietors of the packing establishments.
There is Armour. for instance, the firm
most largely concerned in the present
strike; he is offering every drcement
to men from a distance to engage to
work for him, promising them protec-
ton and steady employment. He will
of course, if the demonstrations of the
striking Knights become such as to
threaten the safety eff his property, ap-
peal to the city authority for protec-
ton; and the city is bound to grant it;
so that no violence can be resorted to,
to bring him to terms. In the mean
time, under the protection of the city,
he is filling the places of the striking
Knights with men who are willing, and
glad of the chance, to work on the ten
hour system. This condition of affairs
renders the proprietors of these
vast packing institutions practically
Independent of the Knights, and We ses
no means to which that organization,
can resort to bring their employees to
the adoption of the eight-hour system.
There may be hope that arbitration
viii succeed when both parties have a
disposition to it; and where each party
is depende Mt upon the other in order to
accomplish their respective objects; but
where condition of circumstances ex-
iste which renders one party able to &C
complish its designs independe .t'y of tie
other, that particular party is not
likely 70 submit to terms of arbitration
that may be regarded as inimical to
its interests. We shall watch the
progress of this controversy with no
little interest.

A WRONG IDEA.

John A. Logan in one of his political
speeches made not long ago said the
Republican party was as sure to carry
the Presidential election in 1888 as the
sun is to rise. And this is how John
came to such a conclusion:
During the years of 1852, 1863 and 1864, the
loyal unmarried men Of the Country, were in
the army, and at home they were breeding
Copperheads. These came of age and voted
for CT veland, as expected In 1864 and
1S65 the soldiers came home, and within
twelve months nearly all of them were mar
ried These boys will cast their FIRST Presi
Dental vote in 1888, and nine out OF ten OF
them are, like their fathers, Republicans.
And being Republican, he concludes
they will vote for the Republican can
didate. By this means Logan would
have Us believe that only one out Of
ten of those babies have learned any
thing since their birth, but when the
votes are counted that will be cast in
the next Presidential campaign, Logan
will learn, and perhaps to his sorrow
that more than one in ten of those Re
publican-born babies have thrown of
the political errors inherited from their
fathers. The principles of the Republic
can party may do very well for the
period of childhood, but when children
grow to BE- men they put away childish
things

THE KIND NEEDED.

An exchange says: but one person
in twenty in Colorado is a church men,
Der: one in 657 in New Mexico and one
in 6S5 in Arizona" Surely here is
field of labor for Christian evangelists.
Small need of sending ministers to
heather lands, while so many are I'M
converted in our own country. We
take it for granted, of course, that non
church members are unconverted
to Christianity. How is it that none of
our great evangelists find their way out
to these western States and Territories,
where unbelief appears to be so rife I?
How is it that Moody and Sankey don't
put in an appearance? Where is
Boy Harrison, Sam Jones, DR..
Hammond, of Virginia. and many
others who are supposed to be so valiant
in the Masters" cause. John the
Baptist, the Master himself, and his
immediate followers, hesitated rot to
go out into the wilderness and preach,
or in the deserts, or by the seaside,
but our modern preachers appear to
have desire to stay nearer the centers
of population within the reach of the
newspapers where they may see their
names paraded by the press; and ap-
pear more anxious to receive full and
ample reward in filthy lucre for their
services, rather than to receive the souls
of men for their hire.

SALT LAKES APPREoIAr1oN.

This wee k mas witnessed another
demonstration of the truth that the
people OF Salt Lake are not only music
ally inclined, but that they are liberal
patrons of the musical drama. The
theatre has been nightly crowded by
people TO bear and see the excellent
opera company. which has been enter
:4lnine rs, and while inc audiences have
manifested their pleasure at all times,
every evidence OF superiority of voice
and excellence Of training on the part
Of the performers has been Instantly
recognized and enthusiastically ap-
pIau6ed. The community is entitled
to the just pride which it feels in its
musical taste and education, and opera
COMPANIES may look upon such gener-
Gus patronage as has been bestowed
upon DufFs organization as handsome
recognition of merit. Sometime we hear
it said ~ travelling troupes that Salt
Lake is cold and unappreciative, and
that II does Lot sustain really good
shows" but such remarks are always
made by those whose companies were
not deserving OF support. According
to its size, we doubt if there is
better "showstown'' on the continent
than Salt Lake; that is to say, there is
no better town than this tor meritorious
shows. Excellence is always apprecia-
tea here, and is rewarded whenever
it is presented, large audi noes going
out to near and see superior singers
or players. If companies are now and
then or frequently neglected and left, ;,
tits because they are unworthy recog-
milton and popular support. There
should BE- hint in this to theatrical
companies as well as to managers OF
our amusement places. Agents and
managers should know that Salt Lake
doss-Ret want and will not pay to see
theN ssFolling companies of the cheap
and updeserVing class, but offers a
hearty welcome and promises salts
factory support to merit.

EDITOR FREE PRESS Please allow me
space in your paper to answer an attack
made upon the colored preachers and school
teachers Of Hays county by j. S. Toliver q
Co, in the Texas Blade. He claims that
we are the opposite of what we profess. ]
claim that we are not. and will ask MIR. Toll

am certain he was And wherever the
righteous rule the people rejoice, SO says the
good book, and when the wicked rule the
people mourn. He said that we are a dis
grace to our calling. Yes, it would be a
disgrace to civil humanity if we were to
hold our peace and let such men as T. q Co.,
lead us into their habits of intemperance.
He said we were illiterate and ignorant.
Mr.. Editor, Mr.. Toliver cannot analyze a
single sentence, nor perform the opera
ton of long division in the arithmetic, and
1 doubt HIM knowing what continent he
lives on. He speaks Of our remaining at
home when he is about to work his political
wire and read our books, that we may not
pull the little end too strong for him. Does
he know who the second President of these
United States was? He does not. But Mr..
Ex., does and we will tell him. so he is al
right, He further stated that conferences
and trustees must give him preachers and
teachers that would hold their peace and
not suck the Democratic tit From the
condition of the republican party of Hays
county, without any organization for years,
somebody has been reared by the demo-
cratic tit And Mr.. I. q Co., are intending
TO suck it next November as that is the only
time they can get the chance until '68.
Mr. Editor, the republican party is not
prepared to do away with its preachers and
