vent the people from having cheap clothing,
cheap salt, cheap fuel, cheap lodging, cheap
medicine, cheap stoves, cheap tin ware,

ccpt sugar. But sugar is Southern prod
uct, and the General, having injured the
South not unnaturally hates her, and while
anxious to protect the manufactures OF the
North, would remove protection from the
product of the sugar plantations in the
South. There is no reasonable objection to
free sugar; but all the other necessaries of
life, no matter where produced, should be
free also.

THE FACT that by the laws of the knights
of labor skilled and unskilled workmen are
placed on an exact equality demonstrates
the other fact that the skilled workmen De-
longing to that order are deficient ID Inc
prcoer regard every man should have Tor
his own interest and that of those depend
ent upon the proceeds of his labor for tne'r
spn,ort man 90 deficient can never
nrosper save by miracle. linen, too'
such g rule, if it become generally opera
tive. will soon render the country bare OF
skilled labor; for why should a workman
desire to become proficient in his trade II
the acquisition of that proficiency shall not
entitle him to higher wages and better posi-
lions than are accorded his stupid and lazy
fellow workmen? The services OF skilled,
sober. honest and industrious laborer are
always in demand at the highest wages, nor
does such laborer require the aid OF any
order, secret or open, to secure him the pos
session of all his rights, privileges and I'M
munties. 1t is only the men who handle
the money, and those who are too lazy TO
work, or who can't learn how to work, who
are profited by so-called labor organizations:
skilled and reputable workman always
has it in his power to hoe his own row.

must know that while the most strenuous
opponents of that bill were among the re-

Its staunchest supporters were among the
Southern democrats; and also that in the
House its strongest advocates come from
the South, and sit on the democratic sloe'

reported favorably, and been passed by the

Lancaster Aroused.

The meeting at the opera house last
essning of the representative business
nm Of Lancaster to consider the early
closing movement and the organization
q . board Of trade was one of the most
encouraging events in the city's history
1or many year. As will be seen by the
v0ry extensive report of its proceedings
elsewhere, it was gathering of clear.
headed, earnest merchants, met for the
purpose Of exchanging thoughts upon two
Of the uppermost local questions now af-
fectiDg their interests.
1t will be seen that there was general
sentiment in the direction of sustaining
the early closing movement, but some for
Ctblo reasons were presented against it.
The discussion that took place and the
O0mpromises suggested brought out the
arguments pro and con, and presented the
whole question in very clear light. 1t is
most evident that to make this movement a
success there must be careful adjustment
Of individual benefit to that of the com.
munity. If the community is to be bene
fitted by this new departure, there should
b willingness to sink the individual
beneft in the general good. On the con.
tary minority should rot be coerced into
doing that which is in radical conflict with
tts carefully conceived judgment. This
question will settle itself by experience.
Now that the system has been inaugurated
Il should be given fair trial and let it
stand or fall on its merits.
The board of trade feature of the meet
! ing admits not of two opinions. The city
has long needed just such an organization
to take hold Of enterprises that will con,
duce to the city's good. As was forcibly
stated, lesser Pennsylvania towns are pro,
vfded with boards of trade who constantly
blow their municipal horns until the re-
verberations are heard far and near, and
they give large aid to the bringing within
their doors of new business enterprises and
FtneEessed population.
The scheme TO bring Lancaster nearer to
its big county towns and villages by short
railroad lines, is a particularly good one
which the INTELLIGENCE has long ad
vocated. Every foot of ground in thi;
wealthy county should be made to contri
butte to the importance of the county seat
Local pride demands it, and the facilitie,
Tor 10 doing should be made such thai
business economy should warrant it. From
the meeting to advance this plan of organ
izing for the good of the city, much benefit
must grow, and all who lend the project q
helping hand will be doing great work
not only for themselves, but for the large
body of their fellow-citizenS. And it viii
be work that will make their memories
bright during all succeeding generations.

THE Republican party Of Pennsylvania,
instead OF ayowing its intention to support
and enforce the constitutional provisions
for the control of railways, proposes to re-.
place the provisions OF that instrument by a
national measure, the Cullom bill.
But they have given no adequate reason
why the state constitution should not be en-
forced. They have hinted that the pro-
visions in question were vague and obscure,
but have failed to indicate what particular
line or word they did not understand. To
ordinary people it is clear as crystal. They
have said that the matter of railroad control
Is too great for state to handle, which is
begging the question, for the constitution Of
the state must be enforced or amended and
even If this claim were admitted the fact re-
mains that legislation by the general govern
ment could not affect purely state traffic.
To what pitiable straits is the dying party
driven in this campaign.

A HORRIBLE story comes from China Of
the barbarous execution OF a young girl ac-

patch says that her innocence was proved, ,
but that the execution was ordered in de-
ference to the clamor of the people. The de-
tails are too CHASTITY for repetition, but, with
due allowance for exsggeration, serve to re-
mind us that large portion of the human
race are yet ierocious beasts and religion and
civilization have a vast field of labor before
them. Cinnamon here are submissive and
orderly citizens ; in the West they are more
aggressive and their barbarism moro evident,
but at home the mass Of the people have the
superstitions and vices Of savages withou;
their virtues. Travellers, blinded by the
funeral glory Of dead civilization, often tell
us only of the best side of the almond-eyed
celestials. There is Just enough of good to give
