HUnILrArISc. YET NECESSARY.

That was rather humiliating defeat
sustained by the clothing cutters of
New York. They have been ont on 8
strike for some time, and yesterday
went to their former employers, and
asked to be taken back to work. The
only condition upon which their en-
ployers would receive them back was
that they sign an agreement to sever
their connection with the Labor
Union. The men accepted the rather
hard condition. This agreement
abridges the personal liberty and
independence of the men. but pinching
want, the clamor for bread, shelter
and clothing assailing a husband
and fathers ears, form kind of argu-
ment that cannot well be resisted by
sensitive natures. Men, let them prize
personal independence ever SO highly
woald be induced to yield it under such
circumstances. This case is another
instance that should prove to the labor
ers of this country that of all men they
can least afford to strike, and ar
que that some other method should be
employed to settle the difficulties arts
ing between employees and employers.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1886-09-10

interest has. also been greatly reduced
having been brought down from and
per cent. to i AMI 3 per cent. The
debt IN 1866 amounted to; $78. % per
capita of population, the interest charge
being $4.2s per capita of all the people
in the republic. Last year the debt per
capita was only $2414, and the interest
per annum was but SO cents for each
person. The many people who in
1865 declared the republic would
never recover from the fnanciil
strain of the war, and who
predicted reputation as inevitable,
have long since ceased to worry. The
debt, enormous as it is in the aggregate,
is easily carried. 1t will be seen that
just one ha'f the debt has been paid IN
twenty one years, the reduction being
made during period when one-half
the country was recovering from deya;"
tsting war, and the people of the section
we're too poor to do much in the way OF
carrying the nations financial load. AS
the population has increased rapidly
and as the south is again prosperous
and able to bear her share of the burden,
it is not unreasonable to anticipate the
wiping ont of the debt by the beginning
OF the next century. the rate OF taxation
being regularly reduced at the same
time.

A BAD MOVE.


The mayor Of Charleston, William a.
Courtenay, sent cablegram to Alder
man Lusk. of London, yesterday, in
which he said the earthquake had left
5 900 persons in Charleston in need of
assistance. On this hint, Lusk read the
cablegram of the Charleston mayor to
the board of aldermen, and subse-
quently, on the behalf of the Lord
Mayor of London, Mr.. Lusk issued an
appeal to the benevolent public for aid
for the Charleston sufferers. We can
readily understand the anxiety OF
Mayor Courtney to employ every means
to secure aid 10 care for the helpless in
bis afflicted city, but would question
the propriety of an appeal to the bene-
violently inclined public Of London. In
the first place, it will occur to the
people of London that charity should
begin at home; and in the dark sIums
of London there are more than twice
the number of persons constantly
needing help, than are represented
esrtbquake-shaken city of Charleston.
Besides this, let it be remembered that
the City of Charleston is in the United
States, in nation fruitful in the pro-
duction of millionaiTes-wIth treasury
whose vaults are grooming with their
weight of treasure-in short, in a ma
ton OF great wealth, and of boosted
prosperity, and generous people, and
shall 1t be said that one of the cities of
this land stretched out its hands for aid
to one OF the pauper-cursed cities of the
old world? 1t is a sad comment on
American generosity and American
pride to have such a thing occur. Surely
the gener Gus people of the United States
can sufficiently assist the 5000 home
less people of Charleston pending the
occurrence of opportunities to help
themselves, without asking the aristoc-
racy of the old world to come to our
assistance. Mayor Courtenay in his
anxiety, has made blunder.

SEDGWICK DENIES.

Now we have the word of Sedgwick,
envoy extraordinary to Mexico, that he
did not get drunk as alleged, that he
did not leave ballroom in company
with some Mexican bloods, and distESI
the sIumbers of respectable peopie
''until daylight did appear" and that
he was not aroused from his debauch
the next afternoon and paraded through
the streets in borrowed raiment, his
own outer garments having been lost
during the nights spree in true Ameri
can style. Mr.. Sedgwick denies all these
things and owe. his own signature and
those of a host of heightened Mexicans,
asserts that his department at the ball
was that of model gentleman
representing the dignity, the honor
and the education of his government
at a foreign capital The envoy having
been heard in his own behalf, it will be
proper for the Associated Press to call
upon its agent in the City of Mexico TO
verify his report of a few days ago to
the effect that Sedgwick did some ar
tistic work in vermillion in the Mex
lean capital. 1t is possible that the Ass.
Press agent there is the equal of the
Salt Lake representative of the great
news-gathering and distributing con
Germ in the matter of circulatin lies and
scandals concerning individuals, il
which event the envoy may well profess
that he has no knowledge of any act
of his upon which the libelous stories
could have been based; and it may be
also that Mr. Sedgwick may now
find himself IN fix similar
to that in which the late
Surveyor-GeneraI of Utah found
himself the morning after he had given
loose rein to his tongue. Dement,, as a
matter of course, had to deny that he
had said such and such things, because
they were absolutely false, and his de-
NAL necessarily brought to the front the
gentlemen to whom he had talked who,
unfortunately for him, brought with
them proof of the correctness of their
reports. If the Mexican Press agent
shall verify his story, as he ought to be
required to do, Mr.. Sedgwick win ap-
pear under an extra dark shadow.

rae CHARLESTON LOAN.

The plan proposed for the relief of
earthquake-afaicted Charleston is
good one, and should be carried into
effect, but it Is doubtful if it will sue
ceed unless the Federal government.
shall become the creditor. The scheme
is to issue long time, 3-per cent.
mortgage bonds on property in tn
city TO improved, the value of such
property to be fix by a competent
committee. The money obtained for
these bonds is LOT to be placed in the
hands OF the individual owners OF the
land, but expended for building or re-
pairing houses, under the direction of
trustees or agents for the bondhoIders.
One proposition is to have the city CT
poration guarantee the interest and
principal, to take charge of the collec-
ton of interest from individuals. and to
pay the coupons as they shall tall due,
while another plan IS to let
the holder IF. bonds collect his own in
terest from debtors, as he would in case
of private loan and mortgage. The
first proposition would be the better, as
it would provide official security for the
paymentof the bonds, and thereby give
them a value in the market that they
would not otherwise have.
But it is doubtful if the scheme can
be operated. 1t is desired to raise
50 .0O0, 900, which makes the PROPOSE ion
one of business instead Of charity. If it
were necessary to raise $1,000, 900 to
provide for the wants of the people of
Charleston. and prevent them from suf-
