AN OASIS IN THE DESERT OF STRIKERS

If is refreshing to come across some incl
dents in the long list of strikes and labor

character. and from this point of view the
"scbooiboyS' strikes" at Greenpoint and at
Troy. N. T., are like an oasis in weary
land. These Juveniles neld mass meetings,
''scabs" demanded their rights and shorter

GOV. MURRAY AND woMAN's SUFFRAGE.
Boston Traveller
The Woman's Journal has put itself on
record regarding the removal of Governor
Murray of Utah, which it asserts is a
''praiseworthy act" because he, twas the
originator of the plot to deprive the women
of that Territory of their right of suffrage"
Now, the truth is simply this: Woman suf-
frage in Utah was farce, and its only use
was as part of the machinery of the Mormon
Church The Saint who was blessed with
fifteen wives could therby command fifteen
votes against the Gentle who had only one
wife. Governor Murray, the brave, untlinch-
ing, heroic assailer of the iniquities Of po-
lygamous theocracy in the midst of Repub-
lican government of course seized on this
factor in Mormon power as was his duty to
do. Women suffrage in Utah meant nothing
only means by which the Mormons com
PEELED votes and forced a majority against
Gentle rule.

Mr.. Powderly demands that all the men,

Mr.. P0wderly demands that all the men,
bers of the Knights of Labor formerly in the
employ of the Missouri Pacific, who volun-
tarily withdrew from that employment, with
the exception of those who have destroyed
the railroads property, shall be taken
back. This, Mr.. Powderly we'll knows,
would necessitate the discharge of large
number of men not Knights of Labor, who
are now in the employ of the road On what
principle of justice does Mr.. Powderly ask
that one set of W0rkmen shall be discharged
to make room for another set of workmen?
Does he take the ground that Knight of
Labor is more deserving of employment than
a workingman who is not a Knight Of La
Dor? Does he and the organization of which
he is the head insist that no man is entitled
to an opportunity to earn bread for himself
and his family unless he belongs to labor
union? If organized workingmen claim the
right to discriminate in this way, how can
they consistently complain if organized CAPT
tai discriminates in another way, and makes
non-mempership of a union condition @f
employment? The discrimination in beth
eases is the same in kind, and one is as just
as the other. In making the demand they
do Mr.. Powderly and the Knights are not
fighting Jay Gould, but hundreds of labOring
men just at worthy as they, who are now at
work on Gould'S railroads. What they are
trying to do is to boycott all workingmen

The tornado which wrought such terrible
destruction to life and property at St. Cloud
and Sank Rapids, Mimi, is paralIeled in
this country in recent years only by the one
which swept over Grinnell, Iowa, in 1882
destroying considerable part of the ta,yn,
including the buildings of the Iowa Catlepe
and killing throughout It's course overa hun
dred persons. The property loss by that
cyclone was estimated between $4,000, 900 and
100000. Neither the loss of life nor of
property by the Minnesota storm is so great
as that wrought by the Iowa tornado, but
nevertheless it is appalling. st. Cloud is a

There has been protection duty on wool

There has been protection duty on wool
ever since 1924, and Mr.. Morrison has made
the first attempt to put it on the free list
The price of wool has not been increased by
the tariff. In 1867 when an additional duty
was put on the price was 81 cents; in
1870 it was 46 cents, and in 1885 43 cents
At the present time the production of wool is
Improbable, but it is carried on in the hope
of better times. Mr.. Morrison proposes to
kill it outright. If he does, what will he
the result? There are now produced in this
country 320,00O0OO pounds Of wool annually.
If the business is killed this, or a large part
of it, will disappear from the market and
the country will be completely at the mercy
of foreign producers, who will be likely to
take all the advantage of us possible. Mr..
Morrison's policy, therefore, instead of low
ering the price of wool will inevitably tend
to raise it.

The New York Doodle aldermen ali pro-
TESS to believe that eventually they will get
off, though probably every one of them
would pay an enormous premium to be in
sured such result. The ground of their
confidence, or rather of the confidence of
their friends, for they themselves publicly
profess innocence, is that the proof will not
be sufficient. The principal witness
against them is one of their confederates,
and the testimony of confederate, they
argue, is very poor evidence. That is true
unless there are corroborating circum-
stances. In the case of these aldermen the
inquiry of the Senate committee has shown
that there is an abundance of such circumf
stances. The suddenness with which some
of them became the proprietorS of large bank
accounts is circumstance which it is going
