WHEN the exigepcies of trade are made an ex-
cuse for putting out of. sight all considerations
of justice and humanity in the relations between
employers and employed, those who so abuse
their opportunities have no right to complain IL
their own tactics are turned upon themselves
and they are coerced into more equitable arrange
ments.-New York Tribune.

THE Hebrews are centripetal race. Not
tempted by the religious vagaries of the day,
they conservatively hold TO faith which has
withstood the ravages of revolutions and the
upheaval of dynasties. 1t bound them together
thousands of years ago, and they have main-
tanned their magnificent isolation since
They constitute the finest expression of religious
loyalty the world has ever seen.-New York

LET it be admitted that the Brown negroes
lat Carrolton, Miss. were the worst of their
kind, and that the negroes associated with them
were no BETTER let it be admitted that they
were impudent and oyerbearing in their con-
duct, and murderous in their intentions; let all
this be admitted, and still we shall find neither
excuse nor justification for the wholesal0
slaughter Of the negroes who we're assembled in
the courthouse. -Atlanta Constitution
The longer the struggle the railway strikel is
kept up the worse it will be for those RESPONSE
bic for it. If it is possible to restore reason to
their councils they will take the frstopportuntY
to extricate themselves from their false position
The inevitable result of obstinate persistence
will be the disintegration of the Knights Of
Labor, who by no means control the labor forces
of the country, and can never expect to do so by
the use of tactics that are founded in injustice
and inconsistent with the principles Of fair play
New York Times.
THE knights of Labor have the sympathy and
good will of the public in all proper endeavors to
secure better wages and shorter hours Of labor.
But when they persist in hang ne up the bust
ness of hundreds of thousands of people who
have done them no injury, and against whom
they have not a shadow of grievance, ia order
that avery doubtful wrong against one man may
be righted, they become the instruments of
tyranny worse than any which their organiza-
ton was designed to oppose-Philadelphi
Times.
THERE should be rotation in every kind Of
offices in this country. most especially in the
offices Of the army and navy. There should be

| THE danger-and it is danger, unquestion-
| ablyLis that in our growing inclination to look
| upon organized effort as panacea for oil the
| ills of industry we shall aff1ct ourselves with
evils of yet more serious character. 1t may te
| that the matter will regulate ITSELF as so many
other things have done in this remarkable coun-
/ try but it can'do US no harm to moderate our
course little and to consider carefully whittier
stake. We have prospered exceedingly up to
this time by giving full sway to personal energy,
| under fair rules of competition; and we are not
likely to do any better, to say the least by pur
suing contrary polcy.-St Louis Globe Dem

ORGANIZED labor can effect nothing by vio-
| lence. 1t can effect nothing by bulldozing
Above all other classes it is interested In tran
guilty and in the peace that brings prosperity.
| It's organization is helpless unless it commands
public sympathy and public confidence. From
| the moment the towns and cities of Texas began
| to denounce the strikers and their methods, the
railroad managers regained their power and the
strike was virtually at end. Nothing is surer
| to be right than the public sentiment of an
| American community when it reaches conclu-
| sion after deliberaton. Nothing is more power
