II will be said first. that all the trades unions
were not represented at this council. 1t Is true
that twelve were not, ar 4 it is also true that
not all the branches of labor were represented !;
in fact, less than one-t tenth of the wage-earners
in the country. Moreover, the trades unions
embrace members both of the United States
and Canada, while the number OF workers Is
given for the United States only. Or the fifteen
remaining part are opposed to the movement,
and part arc connected with the knights of
Labor. BY no possible expansion can it be
made to appear that the trades unions embrace
more than about One-quarter of the workers III
the branches of industry which they represent
Yet these unions assume the right to dictate
to three times as many free workers in those
branches of industry, and to all other workers.
to Congress, and to the whole country III the
name of all labor.
But there are also Knights of Labor. True,
and there are the other branches of industry, en-
bracing more than 1S,0OO,OOO workers. Mr.
Powderly has stated that the knights do not
number 800, 900 persons. Part OF them are also
members of trades unions and included in the
numbers above reported; how many it is im-
Dossibe to tell But if not person belonged
TO both organizations, the Knights Of Labor
and the trades unions reported would embrace
sS1, 900 persons, and possibly all the unions IN
this county and Canada nearly 10000 out
of the more than 20,000,OOO wage-ea In
the United States alone. Thus it is shown, by
the testimony of the leaders of organized labor
themselves, that the organizations do not rep
resent one twentieth of the workers OF this
country Nineteen out of twenty have chosen
to remain free. Yet the organization under
takes to dictate to the FREQ workers, to brand
them as scabs" and "traitors to the cause OF
labor,n and to rob them of their freedom.
A single word must be added. Only part of
the members OF trades unions and Knights
really sympathize with the agitatOrs who lead
them. The more violent men often control the
meetings. Workers in great number are
coerced to join the organizations by threats and
are forced to give silent assent to their
dctaion. 1t is question whether the conduct
of the organizations represents the real wishes
of more than half of their actual members, and
their members number not one twentieth Of
the workers in the United STATES.

MR. BLAINFS ENGLISH CRITICS

Lord Salsbury's sneer at Mr.. Blaine as a can
yasser for the Irish vote is a grim pleasantly,
all things considered. The Tory statesman $
last appearance in Office was marked by a most
persisen endeavor to obtain a majority from
the country with the aid of MIR. Parnels influ-
ence. The Crimes Act WAS first suspended in
order to facilitate intrgues and secret under
standings with the Nationalists; and when the
general election came on every Tory candidate
in England and Scotland had the support of the
Irish voters. Lord Salisbury and bis political
managers throughout that canvass did nothing
to repei Irish aid in the close constituencies
where it turned the scales against Liberal can
didates. He and Lord Randolph Churchill did
everything in their lower to maintain peace
with Mr.. Parnell and to profit by his instruc-
tons and advice to Irish voters in England and
Scotland. Yet Lord Salisbury, who was most
industriously laboring six months ago to catch
IIish votes, considers it triumph of fine irony
and destructive criticism to speak contempt
uously of Sir. Blaine as working for the Irish
vote and "canvassing for the exalted position
of the Presidency of the United States" when
he addresses Home Rule meeting and ex-
presses opinions which the great mass Of
Americans hOli.
Mr. Gladstone is better authority on the
relations of public opinion in England and the
United States than the London journals which
are caviling over Nr Blaine's very moderate
and statesmanlille speech and abusing him for
yenturng to express his views respecting
Home Rule. The Prime Minister knows that
America with its free institutions and its moral
support of every foreign movement in favor of
self government is tremendous power in
modern civilization. 1t occupies to-day the
same position respecting Ireland which Eng
land itself held in the earlier stages of Italian
unity. Its sympathy with Home Rule and
legislative autonomy in Ireland has great
weight with the English constituencies and
especially with the Radical voters and demo-
cratic classes, who are destined to establish
republican institutions in the United Kingdom.
The London journals. which dismiss honest and
independent expressions Of American opinion

the interior The Treasury appears
to hive paid ont 800, 900 more silver certifi-
cafes during the week. but the main part OF tho
hanks reported loss of specie is evidently due
To transactions more than n week old, which
equally rendered the statement of n week ago

Is declining, with summer near mt hand' ana
the surplus is now lower than 1T was at
the same date in 1873 or 1850, although
last year it was about go, 100000 higher.
One change which Is going on every week.
and which powerfully Affects both the condl-
ton of the banks and the Treasury and the
prospects of tho money market, is the rapid
surrender of bank circulation. Last week bonds
were deposited for circulation amounting 10
S76O. 600, but bonds were withdrawn amount
ing to $2,552,0 Largo deposits OF cash
have to be made continually on this account,
which expands the Treasury reserve when 1t
vould otherwise decline. Then the bonds
find new holders, while the banks and their
customers absorb railroad bonds instead
Evidently the operation increases in the end
the amount of money available to loan, but 1t
~ present by the banks as a whole. although
last week the banks OF this city added
81. 2S3, 500 to their amount OF loans reported.
The reports of foreign trade were decidedly
more satisfactory last week, showing smaller
imports and larger exports than for the corre-
spending week last year. IL would not be
strange if imports should fall Off for tIme
after the unusual excess for some months past.
Whether the recovery in exports will last de-
pends much upon the spectators. The cheap
ness of grain helped for week or two, but the
rapid rise in wheat does not help. Cotton also
advanced sixteenth last week, rumors
of injury to the plant being current,
while print cloths remain unchanged. In
iIon and coal there was no change
OF consequence, nor in lead or copper, but TIN
was stronger and crude oil advanced. Pork
products, lard, and also talow advanced, ana

We beg the rising generation to observe how much
an industrious, hard-w working astronomer can ac-
complish. Here is a star-gazer residing at Phelps
Ontario County, N. Y. who has discovered three
comets inside of four weeks, and 1t hasn't been u
very good season for hunting comets, either Besides
this Phelps observer is young, so probably he
hasn't cutie got his hand in. In time he will doubt
less think nothing OF discovering "a dozen comets
before breakfast with one hand tied behind his
hack. The albany IIpress states that the astrono-
mers of the Dudley Observatory Of that city, report
that the three Phelps comets look FAINT Well,

Few people in the East, except politicians,
are aware that an important State election takes
place to- day in Oregon. The Republicans here
tofore have been narrowly victorious, but this
wear the labor and the Prohibition are uncer-

results. The ProhbitionistS have full State

The larger Protestant churches, which had
comparatively few empty seats yesterday, will
have many more next Sunday, and in two or
summer. How the shepherds of many OF these
folds will spend their vacation months Is told
on another page. The charge so often heard
that in their absence their chief adversary re-
doubles his energies, is doubtless as true as
ever. but it is equally true by the present ar
privileges in the city during the summer for
all who care to attend church. IL is also we'll
known fact that the cOngre cation that gives its
minister vacation, which has been earned, is
more than repaid for its generosity during the
winter. When two sermons are required every
Sunday the year round, pastor and people
alike suffer. Fortunately for both this truth
in some OF the larger country towns. hun
dred sermons year cannot be prepared by the
man of average ability, with all his other ex-
acting duties, without causing serious strain
on his strength and on the patience of his
hearers.

event also to convince all the companies that the

The science of gathering statistics is so little
understood even in these days that such a
meeting rs the heads of thirteen State
Bureaus of Statistics have just been holding in
Trenton, n. j., should be followed with excel
lent results. The experience meeting prob
ably showed them, what prominent professor
of Columbia College has recently asserted with
much force-that their chief trouble is lack of
knowledge of how to go to work, what statistics
to collect. and how to arrange them after they
are collected. The convention made an excel
lent choice of chairman in Carol d. Wright,
of Massachusetts, and if, this year, his hearers
follow such advice as he doubtless gave them,
their next annual reports will be more valuable
than the last. The heads of Western bureaus,
for instance, will know better than to waste
time over purely political statistics.

The Forestry Commissioners were by no
means pleased with the size OF the appropriations
voted for their support by the last Legislature.
They would not have been like most commits
sioners if they had been satisfied. But 1t re-
mains to be said that they are going ahead in
the performance of their duties with determina-
ton and method which are credtable. They will
soon have fifteen foreslers and 213 fire wardens
on the Match TO protect the States forests from
lumber thieves and fires. The thousands of
tourists, therefore, who visit the AdirOndacks
this summer will please take notice that they
can't build fire when, how and where they
please as of yore, but only under certain c.r-
cumstances; otherwise they will hear from the
forest guardians. The Commissioners are to
be commended for resolving not TO spend the
$4,000 specially allowed them for counsel
fees Their law member knows all TIE law
they need and great deal more.

HUMAN NATuRE.-We like circus for
the opportunity it offers of studying the
follies of human nature. Following in
the wake of the big show are a small
army of side-shows, fakes and swind-
ling games galore, which reap big
harvest from the credulity of mankind.
The thimble-rig game in particular,
with its three little thimbles and one
little pea, possesses wonderful fascina-
ton for the average rustic, and the
avidity with which he tries TO make a
dollar without working for it by beating
the sharper at his own game is am
exhibition of one of those traits Of
character which shows how deeply
rooted in humanity are the gambling
instinct and the love of money. The
lottery wheels and other brace games
were literally supported by the Moscow
hayseeds, but we noticed that they
always got left in betting on dead
sure thing. Western shrewdness is a
pretty scarce article in circus times, and
some of those who boast the most of its
possession are ripe for the fool-kiler.
1t takes shrewd man to get something
for nothing these days.

LEwIsToN.-Lewiston is dull-mighty
dull. For bona fde downright business
the town doesn't seem to care tinker's
imprecation. 1t builds its hopes of
future greatness upon possible railroad
connections. 1t is wonderful how many
presumably shrewd business men there
are down there who never realise that
it takes more than railroad to make a
town. If these short.sighted people
will just take map and see how many
hundreds of railroad towns there ere in
Oregon. Washington and Idaho,
excellently situated, that do not amount
to notch on stick, they might gain
some wisdom. Its tributary country is
under lock and key ON the reservation,
and until those lands are utilized
Lewiston will never realise the expecta-
tions formed of her.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Lewiston was startled
last Saturday by news being brought to
town that Joseph &. Shissler had been
found dead on the road to his ranch
near Waha lake. A coroner's jury pro-
ceeded to the spot and after a medical
examination it was determined that he
had died from heart disease, and that
he had fallen from his horse, alighted
on his head and being very corpuent
person had broken his neck. The horse
was standing quietly by his side at the
time the body was discovered. Deceased
was fifty-four years old, and had been
engaged in farming and stock-raising
for many years and died possessor of
fortune of $4,000. He leaves a sister
in Wilmington, Delaware. and brother
law in Chicago.
