The recent settlement of the clothing-cutters
lockout is another triumph for the principle
that an employer may hire whom he pleaScs 20
work for him-for the trouble was all caused
nv the refusal Of the union men in August
Bros tailor shop to work with a nOn-unioniSt.
This led TO a lockout by the Manufacturers
Association which has finally brought the union
men to terms The only other trade now in a
disturbed state is the plumbers. The employees
say they will not work under the bosses rules,
and the bosses won't let the men work under
any other Hence another deadlock !
The attempt to destroy with dynamite the
signal tower of the Lake Shore Railway i'll the
township of Lake, ILL.,, will not loosen the
halter now beginning to draw about the necks
of the Chicago Anarchists. Probably the
undertaking was not in the hands of Spies and
Parsons's friends. Lake abounds in foes to the
railway company, as the incidents occurring
there during the switchmen's late strike
showed even the town authorities then aided
the strikers But this performance, by whom
soever attempted, is at least in entire harmony
with the teachings of the Anarchists of Chi
ragO. The public will recognize that fact, of
course, and any growing sympathy which the
sight of seven condemned men might awaken,
will be instinctively crushed out.
Turfmen the world over will lament the
death of the race-horse Dew Drop. This
splendid animal, one of the greatest racing
fllies the turf has known, was purchased at the
Rancocas sale by the Dwyer Brothers for
$4,000. Despite her price and the fact that
she has won for her owners $685. cO this season.
the Dryers have not seemed to appreciate her
value. They have run her when she was
plainly most unfit; the last time OH September
] at Prospect Park, when she was badly beaten
by Elkwood and Barnum. 1t was then appar-
ent that all the speed had been run out OF
Dew Drop and every one hoped she would be
retired for the season to save her from further
humiliation. But it was too late. The gallant
flly had been run to death.
Mr.. Bayard has made another mistake. The
Mayor of London some days ago offered to re-
ceive contributions from Englishmen for
Charleston. That was gracious, and reflected
credit upon his kind feelings. But the English
papers took up the subject and INDUCED in
numberless sneers about Charleston people
seeking alms, and about charity beginning at
home. The American Minister was not in
fvOr of accepting any English aid, very prop
erly being of the opinion that this Nation is
entirely able to look after its own sufferers
from earthquakes. Mr.. Bayard. however,
quickly directed Mr.. Phelps to take all he
could get. Probably it will not be much; but
in what dsagreeable position Mr.. Bayard's
error of judgment has placed American clti-
gins!
1t is surprising. but it's fact the Cana
dian authorities just now really seem to think
that there may be limit beyond winch 1t is
not safe to push hostilities against American
fishermen. Consider the case OF the Everett
Steele. Last March this fishing schooner went
into Sound Point for shelter dur NJ four
or five hours Proper fees were paid
the harbor-master, but the captain
was told that it would not
be necessary for him to enter or clear at the
Custom House at Shelburne So be did not.
But when he ventured into Shelburne on Fri
day last his vessel was seized, on the charge
that on the visit last March the laws had been
violated. VI course this was the merest teen
DicalIty, and the Canadians themselves seem
at last to have realized it, for yesterday the
Steele was released with the warning nor
to do SO again. Now the seizure of
this vessel was neither more nor less
unreasonable and illegal than some of the
others that have preceded it. The release is the
euszlng part OF the affair. Is it possible that |
