SUES OF the Hour.
NJ The Northwestern tabernacle last
Sunday, says the Baltimore SIN, Mr.
VIM. Daniel said: The only two live
issues before the American people today
are those Of the Just rights of labor in
relation 10 capital and the necessity of
the prohibition of suppression of the Ii |
quor tratli2. These important questions
have thrust themselves upon public at
tenti0n, and have demanded hearing
and settlement, despite the efforts of
capitalists and mnnopolists, of liquor |
dealers aud politicians to down them or
hold them and allegiance. And the set
tIement they demand is just ana right
eouS one, and thyy cannot be quoted un- |
til thus settled. Every one is therefore |
interested in such a proper disposition Of |
them, aud all should inform themselves |
as best they eau concerning them, i'll or
der that intc)ligently, impartally and /
fcarlesSiy they may perform the duty re-
quired Of them regarding them.
The desperate straits to which labor
has been brought all over the country is |
widened by the actual as well as threat |
encd strikes and l0ckoutS. Many thous-
ands of lab0rers are ont of employment,
Whist their families are suffering for the !
accessories of life. The merciless en-
croachment Of capital npon labor have
driven many iabOrcrs almost to despair, |
ani created feeling Of unrest through |
out the land. And yet it is matter of |
profound qualification that amidst it all |
the organizations of labor are 50 wisely |
AND prudently conducted by their chosen |
leaders, with the earnest cooperation of |
lencc OF any sort has occurred or is likely |
to occur. In this way public hearing |
and sympathy have been obtained or the |
cause that could not have been obtained |
in any other way. Il has thus been
greatly strengthened. /
This is one Of the results of the bet
ter organization of labor. Nor is this
the only one. 1t has also arrested the at
tcntion OF politicians as never before
Hence We find in the Congress Of the
Uniced States every other question has
had to give place to the consideration Of
the one to provide for the settlement of
these difficult questions constantly aris-
ing between capital and labor by means
of legal arbitration. And in the Lpgs.
lAture Of Maryland a law is promptly en-
acted to reduce the hours of the greatly
ovGr-woIked employees on the street pas
Sengct railways to twelve out of the
twenty four, and that without any cor
ppratc riders i'll the way % park tax re-
Guctions or otherwise.
"And here is lesson for prohibition
lists, who have struggled for more than
ten years past, without success, to get a
simple bill creating commission of in
quirS into the results of the liquor traf-
tic. Whilst with the present Legislature

tho question Of prohibition in Cecil
county, where sore five years ago the
people adopted it by nearly 800 major
ity: in Annapolis, where about the same
time it was adopted by over 800 majority,
and where, III Garrett county, it has only
been in operation about eleven months,
in five districts thcreGf-and what is
worse, in Garrett the law is absolutely
