The southwestern strike.

The prospect Of a speedy settlement OF
the Southwestern labor troubles is less
promising now than it has been at any
time since they began. The railroads en-
phatically refuse TO accede to the demands
Of the Knights of Labor, that all the
strikers shall be reinstated in their old
positions except those who have actually
participated in the attempts 10 destroy
property, and the Knights are equally as
determined that the railroads shall grant
this demand. The railroads claim that
they have all the men they want to oper-
ate their lines, and only ask to be let alone.
II IS evident that the contest is long way
from being ended.
The policy Of the knights, doubtless, is
to avoid a conflict with the authorities,
and to improve every opportunity to OBJ
struct the railroads in their efforts to run
their trans. They will not be able to do
much as long as the railroads are guarded
by the militia, but when the soldiers are
withdrawn the movement OF the trains
will be again INSTRUCTED, and this policy
OF obstruction, doubtless, will be k eptup
until a settlement Of some sort is reached
If the knights of Labor act rashly and
bring on conflict with the authorities Of
the States, the troubles may come to an
end quite speedily, but not to the satisfac-
ton Of the Knights.
There is very firm conviction in the
public mind that employers have a right
to control their own affairs and TO employ
and discharge whom they please. and
there is an equally strong conviction that
workingmen have a right to quit work
when they are not satisfied with their
compensation, or hours OF labor or for any
other reason. They also have a right to
combine in order to enforce their demands
by acting together; but public opinion
will not sustain any attempt of labor or
ganizations to gain their ends by force, or
by destroying life and property.
If the knights OF Labor want to have
the support OF public sentiment in their
fight with Mr.. Could they must act with
in the law. Lawlessness VIII not be
countenanced, much less applauded.
There is one point that appears to have
been overlooked to some extent in the
strike on the Gould railroads. 1t Is that
a majority of the employees at the time Of
the strike were not knights OF Labor, and
have not acted with them. They have
wanted to work and have been prevented
The strike of the Knights, therefore, has
heen against labor as well as capital.
This is one of the reasons, perhaps, why
the Knights have bad so little sympathy
from the public. But then, it has been
admitted from the first that the strike was
a mistake.

A Big Pension Scheme.

Although there appears to he very little
doubt that the bill granting pensions to
the veterans n the Mexican war which
passed the House a day or two ago will
pass the Senate, there is reason to think
that pretty strong effort will be made to
defeat it. 1t will be argued, so it is said,
that il pensions are given to the Mexican
veterans a movement will be at once
started to give pensions to all the Union
veterans whether they are suffering from
disabilities Of any kind contracted while
in the service or not. 1t will be said that
as fiity-six years elapsed before the vete-
rams Of the war OF 1912 were pensioned.
and only thirty-egbt before those of the
Mexican war were placed on the pension
rolls, il would only be just to give PEN
sions to all the survivors who served in
the Union armies without further delay.
OF course n proposition TO give pensions
to all the Union veterans would meet
with vigorous opposition. but as the aim
of both great political parties seems to be
to get control OF the soldier vote, and as
neither party appears to have the courage
to refuse to impose new burdens on the
country in the shape Of pensions, it would
not, perhaps, be a very difficult matter to
get a measure through Congress giving
every surviving Union veteran, or his
widow, So per month. A little calcula-
ton VIII make it evident that legislation
Of that sort would speedily bankrupt the
Treasury. or would. at least. require a
very heavy increase in taxation.
AZ f.v
believe that Congress could be induced to
pass a pension bin that would perhaps
more than double the pension burden, but
what has been done in the way OF grant
ing pensions during the last lew years
ought to convince anyone that Congress
doesn't think about the burdens Of the
people when dealing with the question Of
increasing the pension charges. The only
thing that appears to be thought Of ia the
soldier vote.

A QUEEN AMONG ROSES.

A great rose, almost as large as a sunfower,
and the largest rose ever grown. held the
place Of honor at the April show OF the New

Tuesday. Its name is Her Majesty. In color

There are Washington correspondents
who do not permit themselves to be ham
pered by facts. All they want is a sug-
gestion, mere hint, and they will write
interesting and very startling dispatches.
They have sent out two stories lately
which have been widely circulated, and
no doubt are quite generally believed.
One is, that few minutes before Sec
rotary Manning was taken i'll, he had
serious quarrel with the President the
subject OF which was a letter sent to
Senate committee respecting demand
for information about certain appoint
ments. The statement is that the Secre-
tary changed the letter in very important
particulars after it had received the Presi-
dents approval.
There is good grounds for stating that
the President and the Secretary have had
no quarrel, and that their last meeting
prior to Mr.. Manning's illness, was a
very pleasant one in every respect.
There was nothing that approached a
quarrel, and Mr.. Manning did not leave
the Presidents presence with the threat
that he would at once hand in mis- resig-
nation.
The other story is that Secretary Whit
ney undertook to bulldoze a plucky Irish
man who, according to the story, owns a
shanty that OBJ tructs the view Of the
principal window OF MIR. Whitney's mag
nidcent ball room. The Irishman's name
Is given as RIgney. and the following lit
tie dramatic scene is alleged TO have &C.
CURED between him and the Secretary:
Crossing over TO the lrishman's one
evening, the Secretary OF the Navy IN
Quired very !oftilv what was the price of

Secretary. 81 want to pull down this
old house, and / will pay twice its value

money 10 buy this Old shanly. You may
bea big gun and all that, but Tim Rio
ney's as good as you, every bit, and his
grandchildren are going 10 grow up in
these rooms, too"
1t IS stated quite authoritatiyely that
there is no such shanty as described any
where near Mr.. Whitneys residence, and
if there we're, aud Mr.. Whitney wanted il
removed, be would not seek to carry out
his purpose in the way described. he
has very lively sense Of the rights Of
others, and the probability that he would
treat very bundle neighhor in an in
solent and supercillous manner is ex-
tremely remote. The truth is that neither
the story about Secretary Manning nor
the one about Secretary whitney has any
foundation In fact. Both are the pro-
ducts OF lively imaginatlons.

and as our fishermen do not care
anything for fishing within the
three mile limit, its only hope
NJ forcing new treaty that will admit

is in denying to our fishermen the priyi-
lege OF entering its ports. 1t is claimed,
and there is no doubt that the claim is
well founded, that our fishermen have the
right 10 enter Canadian ports for all pur-
poses except that OF piracy. Perhaps,
