great strike in the southwest, con-
gress has finally taken up, and none
too soon, the question of labor as re
lating to railway strikes. With un-
usual dispatch the house, after few
DAYS consideration of the subject,
has passed bill, introduced by rep
resentative O'Neill, the chairman of
the house committee on labor. This
bill is very different measure from
that introduced, and which gave the
decisions of Boards of Arbitration
the effect of judgements of the
United States district courts, as such
to be enforced by law. The bill
just passed provides for the volun-
tary submission of causes of differ
ence between railroad companies en-
gagged in interstate commerce and
their employees to boards of arbltra-
| ton. one member to be selected by
one party, one by the other party,
and the third by these two, and leave
| the parties to the controversy to &C
cept or reject their decisions at will
The chief advantage that this bll
offers is in giving the boards the
powers of United States commission
ers in enforcing the attendance o
witnesses, and in providing for thu
expense of arbitration out of th'
public treasury. 1t may be objected
to this bill that it will be impossible
to enforce the judgment of a boar
of arbitration, and that men canno
be compelled to work if they do nc
choose to do so. The objection is
plausible one but shallow one. Ih
decisions of such board would Gel
tainly not be lightly disregardet
The principle of arbitration has a
ready been incorporated more
less closely into the whole fabric

S effects. AS related to labor, it wou

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT
A terrible railroad accident occurred
near Bardwell's Ferry few miles
west of Greenfield, Mass, ION the
18th, by which 10 persons lost their
lives and about thirty were wounded
many of them seriously. The train
was running east and consisted of
six cars. AT a point on the side of
steep hill or mountain where the
track had been run about two
hundred feet above the river in a
very precipitous place, where huge
ragged boulders extended to the
river 200 feet below, the earth slid
out or gave way beneath the engine
and the whole train went down the
incline TO the river, the cars turning
over and over as they went. Several
were killed, as is supposed, before
the broken car reached the river,
others were drowned. and what was
more terrible, fire broke out soon
after, and some were roasted and
burned to death. Almost every pas
senger was badly hurt and there
were few to aid their suffering COM
rades till help arrived an hour after
wards from outside sources. 1t is
one of the most ugly disasters
of the times.
The strike IN the southwest is vet
unsettled. Manager Hoxie, to whom
the matter was referred by Jay
Gould, consented to arbitrate the
difficulties with the Missouri Pacific
strikers, as purposed by Grand Mas
ter Powderly of the Knights of La
Dor; but the refusal of Mr.. Hoxie to
take back men to work who were
personally engaged in destroying
property of the company, or whose
places had been filled with new men,
occasloned a hitch in the negotia-
tions. A st. Louis dispatch of Mon
day reported that the order of the
executive committee to the Knights
of Labor to resume work on the
Missouri Pacific had been counter
manded, and that the strike was to
be continued. Many trains are NOV
ing, but they are manned by new
hands. The determination of the
strikers not to 60 to work unless
they can return in body may have
serious consequences for them, fol
as their places are being rapidly
filled they will soon have to seek
work elsewhere. At Fort Worth
Texas, a conflict of strikers with the
police occurred on Saturday, in which
an officer was killed and one of the
strikers seriously wounded. Tha
place is now protected by the mill
tary. At Parsons, Kansas, some
forty of the strikers have returned t.
work. Mr.. Powderly is seriously i'll
and the national committee of thu
Knight of Labor seems powerless t.
control action of the local assem-
, blles. 1t is not believed that tn
strikers can hold out, as the author
| tiles are determined that railroad
, traffic shall be resumed. The strik
ers in the country are now estimate
to number thirty thousand, agains
fifty-two thousand ten days ago.

which would more nearly represent
the taxable wealth of the state.

The last census showed total of
1892, 900 persons engaged in labor
in the whole country, and these fig
ures may be fairly accepted as rep
resenting the aggregate strength of
the workers of America in 1880.
Since that time the army of toilers
has greatly increased. At present
there are, it is estimated, 100000
engaged at agriculture. 100000 IN
professional and personal service, "
100000 in trade and transporta-
ton, and 5,25O,OOO in mechanics,
manufactures and mining. 1t may
be set down that, although the hard

and mine falls to the lot of less than
5000, 900 in all, the designation of
workingmen properly applies to fully

gested as a remedy, which can only be
possible by a return to sound monetary
principles. Germany has already adopted
the method of tariff blockade or high
protective duties and failed, just as Eng
land must fail in similar attempt. Pub
lie opinion in Germany, and the pressure
OF the landed interests, will probably
lead to change of monetary policy, and
should Germany escape from the grip OF
the money lenders who control credits,
England will undoubtedly be compelled
to follow its example,

of an international double standard,

measure adopted SO far, and particularly
the increase OF the corn duties, cannot
afford the necessary aid on the contrary,
the condition of the landed interest has
become so deplorable that unless help Is
shortly afforded general catastrophe Is
inevitable. The greater the necessity
the more difficult becomes the allevia-
ton. The fear now is widespread that
special legislation is imperative to rescue
the landed interest of Germany from de-
struction. In these circumstances We ex-
pect help and support from your illus
trious body, and we believe it can be
given in no such practical and effectual
manner as by an effort on the part OF
your illustrious body to bring about in
ternational bimetallism.
"And we must here protest against
the imputation that has been cast upon
the German land interest of wishing, by
means of bimetallism, to deal unfairly
with creditors. We are protecting our
selves against dear money. We demand
for silver only restoration to its old his
toric relations. And we see in this no
injustice to creditors; certainly no in
justice greater than the injustice done
to debtors by the demonstration OF sill
YER The rise of the gold agitation in all
countries using silver and paper standard
not only checks the exports resulting
from German industries, but it has also
created competition with our German
agriculture on the part of those countries
which are the largest agricultural pro-
ducers, against which customs duties are
an inadequate protection, because gold
rises rapidly in those countries to point
beyond the amount of the duties, and
thereby practically annuls the defensive
value of those duties. We express no
opinion as to whether the adoption of bi-
metallism without the support of England
may or may not be disadvantageous to
some branches of the wholesale and eX
port trade of Germany. What we do say
the land interest of Germany is of greater
importance than some hypothetical dis
advantage to foreign countries and to
our banking and exchange classes. Even
as regards these it does not seem to us
desirable to wait much upon the action
of England. Our actual necessities af-

ABOUT BIMETALLISM.

We print to-day very suggestive artl-
Gle on bimetalIism in Germany from the
pen of Mr. VIM Henry Hurlbert, gen
tleman who was editor of the New York
ssWorld" when that paper was owned by
Jay Gould, and run to the ground in the
interest of the gold ring. Mr.. Hurlbert
is therefore anything but a friend of sill
yer money, and is not likely to be biased
in its favor But the facts connected
with the demonstration of silver by Ger
many, and the widespread ruin that has
oversaken the agricultural interests OF
the Empire in consequence, are matters
of public notoriety, and cannot be hid.
Indeed, it is impossible to do so owing to
the agitation promoted by the landown-
ers and cultivators throughout Germany.
The condition of the landed and agricul-
tural interests of Germany differs only
in degree from the depression which adj
herenee to a gold standard has produced
among the same interests in Great Brit
ain and Ireland. But the German peo-
pie having had recent experience OF the
evils incident to the demonstration of
silver are making an active and intelli-
gent fight for its mon etary restoration,
while Englishmen OF to-day have no per-
sonal knowledge of the wholesale fraud
perpetrated on the debtor and producing
classes of England by means of the gold
standard and Bank Charter Act. They
only know that agriculture is depressed,
and that while rents and prices are fall
ing, money-that is, COLDS proportion
ately dear.
We had slight experience of a similar
kind in this Kingdom, and it will be in
teresting to thoughtful men to weigh
well the statements of fact and the
reasoning in the address of the General
Committee of the Congress Of German
Farmers, presented to the Chancellor OF
the Empire and the Reichstag last De-
cember. Fortunately for Hawaii its sur
plus products are so large that it can
stagger under the incubus of a gold
standard for a time, but its progress Is
checked by the arbitrary enhancement
in value of one of the two precious metals
used IN all tunes by clVlIlzed nations III
the coinage of money, through its being
declared the sole standard of value. In
England and Germany, however, equal
" favorable conditions do not exist, and
therefore agriculture, which lies at the
foundation of all other productive indus
tries, is depressed. In England, royal
commission has been investigating the
long protracted and apparently hopeless
depression of trade and industry, and
probably tariff blockade will be sug-

BimetaIIism ina Germany-Its Gather
ing Strength There.

New YORK, January 18th.-William
Henry Hurlbert writes from London:
Petitions are now pouring in upon the
German Reichstag against any further
persistence in that great blunder of the
German financial administration by
which silver was attempted to be de-
monetized in the Empire-a blunder to
which must be attributed mainly the
perturbations and distress of the indus
tries of the world since 1888. The Ger
man landed nterests-landlords, farm
ers and peasants-are organized through
out the Empire into unions, and these
make themselves heard through body
called the General Committee of the
Congress of German Farmers. This COM
mittee had handed before December
10th to the Imperial Chancellor and
Reichstag 15S petitions from farmers
unions and forty-two petitions from peas
ant unions, with an address, of which
this is the text:
'"The Congress of German Farmers
has repeatedly recommended at its gem
eral meetings with regard to the none
tary question, and has urged in the in
terests of German agriculture, the adop-
ton by treaty of the international double
standard. In the course of the last year
the condition of German agriculture has,
unhappily, become so much worse that
the committee believes it is necessary
TO I1rpe VOur illuStriOuS body in this
most emphatic manner to afford the
swiftest and most decided assistance pos
sible to the sorely-tried agricultural in
terests of Germany. As we consider that
a restoration of its value to silver by
means of international bimetallism is
the surest and most thorough and posi-
BILE, the committee has advised the
Farmers and Peasants Unions of Ger
many to unite in a general petition
against the single gold standard. The
Committee of the Congress of the Ger
man Farmers has the honor to lay before
your illustrious body herewith first in
stallment of such petitions received up to
this time by the Bureau of the Congress,
and to ask your attention to them. The
distress of the German farmers is known
to the Imperial Government, and we
thankfully acknowledge the help which
has been promised us. Unhappily the

Those UmruIy Sailors.

1t will be remembered that six OF the
sailors of the bark Mount Lebanon were
locked up last week at the Station House
for refusing to work. After being there
a few days they decided to return to
work, and of course were sent back to
the ship. The following day three of
them ran away again, and nothing was
heard of them until Thursday, when a
native living at Kailua, the other side of
this island, telephoned to the Station
House that three sailors were there hid
ing away. He was told to communicate
with policeman there and have them
arrested. They were brought to town
yesterday afternoon, and are once more
languishing behind the bars at the Station
House.
