they so stubbornly end so persistently
refuse to reform it. There is
an old story about the poet Pope that
exactly illustrates the position OF the
Republicans. Pope was little de-
crepid, deformed fellow, and his
habitual oath was "God mend me-"
Waking in the street with friend
ono day, he used this expression
rather loudly. A laborer who was at
work repairing the pavement looked
up as he heard the words, and, cycling
the poet from head to foot, he shouted
out: "God mend you, indeed; He'd
id deal better make new one"
That is what the Republicans fear the
people will say il any tempt to
mend the tsrif is allowed.

PRAIRIE FIRE IN DAKOTA.
Two Lives Lost and Much Valuable
Property Destroyed.

WEBSTER, OAK, April 2O.-News
has Just reached here that on Satur-
day last fire swept over a prairie in
Lynn Lake township, taking in the
farm of Mrs. Dolliger in its track.
Only that lady and her mother were
at home. Both rushed ont and at.
tempted to rescue the stock from the
barn. While the old lady was engaged
trying to lead out horse one end of
the roof fell in, filling the inside
with smoke, which suffoca'ed her and
she sank to the ground. Mrs. Dol!i-
ger went to her mothers assistance
aud by almost superhuman exertions
succe eded in getting her out, but the
vital spark had fed. MS. Dolliger
was so badly burned that her death is
only aquestion of a short time. A
span of horses and five or six head
o. cattle burned, together with
the dwelling aud all household
effects. The con, who was at Brietol
during the fire, returned TO find his
mother deed, his sister so BADLY
burned that recovery was impossible,
and his home heap of charred and
blackened ruins. So great was the
shock thst it ia feared that his mind
will give way. Everything that help
full sympathy could suggest has been
done by the neighbors to a leviate the
sutferings of the unfortunate man.

ORGANIZED LABOR.

The impression obtains that gan
lied labor is of modern growth, when
in fact there were labor organizations
before the Christian era similar to the
Knights OF Labor and the trades
unions OF the present day. The most
elaborate system of labor organiza-
tions existed in Rome nearly 1000
years ago. We read of Tarquin the
Proud revising the trades unions
laws, aud OF their reformation under
Augustus. In Conetantine's time
there were forty or fifty AIDES organ
lied under the Roman laws, and rec
ognized by the government. Their
social funds were immense; domains
were constantly added to their pos
sessions; the State made large grants
Theodosius gave a great domain to
the Lime-Burners' Union, aud the
property was inalienable. These
unions were Subsidized and pensioned
by the government to prevent discon-
tent and disturbance. Such an alliance
in America is impossible. Neither is
1t desirable. In England the trades
unions are incorporated and fully or
ganiEed societies, and arbitration
on most intelligent system has taken
the place OF the sra when workingmen
enforced their strikes, not by destroy,
ing the property of their employers
but by buating, burning, shooting and
assassinating disobedient workingmen.
But the official recognition Of labor
organizations in England has swept
away the cruel and brutal Characters
tics Of the trades unions of forty years
ago, and has almost abolishedslrikesb y
the substitution of arbitration, WHY
can't the Congress of the United States
resort to the same remedy Capital
aud labor have discovered by sad and
costly experience that they are mutu-
ally dependent on each other. Men
are discovering that both have need of
each other, that capital can no longer
fix its own wages; that brute an
tagoniem to capital does not promote
the welfare Of labor, aud that every
disturbance OF property ie q proper
ti0naie blow 10 industry

us here to try this case between two Of
our neighbors. A clear head and an
honest heart are worth more than all
the law OF all the lawyers. There was
one good thing said at the bar. 1t was
from one Shakespeare, an EuRlish
player, believe. No matter, Il il
good enough almost to be in the b bic.
1t is this: Be just, and fear not 1t
is our business to do justice between
the parties, not by any quirks of the
law out OF Coke or Blackstone, books
that have never read and never will,
but by common sense and by common
honesty, as between man and man.
That is our business, and the curse OF
God ie upon US if we neglect or evsde
or turn aside from it. And now, Mr..
Sheriff, take out the jury, ar d you,
Mr.. Foreman, do not keep us waiiing
with idle talk, OF which there has
been too much already about m tiers
which have nothing 10 do with the
merits of the case. Give US an honest
verdict, of which, as plain, common
sense men, you need not BE-
ashamed"

LIVERPOOL, April 2O.-CapJ. Collier
OF the steamship Oregon tsstifi d To-
day during the examination before the
Board Of Trade on the loss OF his ves-
snl, He said thai at the time of the
collision the steamers lights were
probably visible for 6 distance OF six
miles The night, he said, was frosty
and clear. The aurora which PEE
val ed, however, would have rendered
it difficult 10 see the vessel itself. The
captain denied that the crew and fire.
men rushed into the life boats ahead
of the passengers. He added that
he tried to beach the ship, and
said that il the bulkhead
hal closed he could have sailed
the Oregon into New York. As it
was it would have been absolutely inn
possible to save the vessel if they had
been able to set the sails, which, how
ever, they could not do because all
the hands were engaged in the work
OF transferring the passengers from
the sinking ship. Several Of the Ore
CONS engineers testified that the tsink-
ing OF the steamer could have been
prevented if the bulk-head door had
been constructed to work along verti-
cal instead of horizontal grooves. Coal
had choked up the horizontal grooves
aud the doors could not be closed

THE M,NoNlTY REPORT.

The report of the minority, which is
signed by Messrs. Breckenridge Of
Kentucky and Browne of Indians, says:
The undersigned, regretting that they
are unable TO unite either in the
recommendations or report of the ma
jority, content themselves 10y express
ing their dissent from each. They are
not prepared to say that the treaty with
the King of the Hawaiian Islands is
commercially a good bargain, and they
would be & ad to see it modified, yet
there are geographical and intercolonisl
reasons which are conclusive with
them that the treaty ought not to be
abrogated. They are not willing to
surrender any advantage that may be
given by that treaty to this govern
ment to the possible future control of
those islands. The peculiar relations
which this government necessarily
bears to the Pacific ocean and to the
peoples bordering thereon or owning
colonies upon said ocean render them
unwilling to take any step that may
weaken our position or possibly
strengthen that of any other govern
meut. 1t may be that new and vexa-
tious complications with European
and Asiatic nations may arise ii the
question of the relations and control
Of those islands be reopened, and they
are not willing at present to have it
reopened.
