THE Knights of Labor Of Kings county,
New York city, report that they have an
available fund in cash of $500, 600, which they
are ready to send West to aid the railway
strike. A little care will have to be taken, or
the Knights of Kings county will be mis-
taken for bloated bondholders and tyrants. A
body Of men able to send half a million dollars
to aid any cause are not in position to plead
that they are badly oppressed. There must
bea mistake somewhere. Either they have NO
such sum, or they are well paid and have lit
tie cause to complain of their lot.

petrated on the men suspected Of outraging

tice is not enough to restrain mobs, the won
der will be whether ever the prompt and i'm
partial enforcement of the law is enough to
preserve the peace. It is evident that some
men are only too glad to find opportunity to
engage IN a lynching affair. The thing to
do is to bring the law to bear upon these fell
lows, so that it will not be so funny to engage
in such offenses against the law.

1T is idle to talk Of Irish independence.
However desirable such a thing might be to
the average Irish patriot and to the many
friends of Ireland throughout the world, it is
a political impossibility, unless the British
empire lose its power. There is, and probably
ever will be, an antagonism, religious rather
than political, between the people of Ireland
and those Of England; but the irrefutable logic
Of location must ever forbid the separation oil
these two, however ~uncongenial they may be.
Otherwise It were quite possible that the
English would long ago have consented to q
national divorce. The work Of reforming
ideas is necessarily slow, and this process is
made all the more tedious and trying by rea.
son of the fact that an intense prejudice ex-
lists between these two peoples. Let Ireland
be content with the very reasonable conces-
sion Of home rule. Phis may be used as the
s~tepping-stone to better things, and eventu.
ally all may be gained that in reason could be
asked. If Ireland be granted the privileges
enjoyed by the several States of the American
Union, it is doubtful if more could be- asked
in reason. With such a measure of indie.
pendence, and with England as a sworn ally,
the position of Ireland would be a very secure
one, and there need be no complaint of op
preston or lack of liberty. In every form Of
government it is necessary that some things
be surrendered in order to enjoy other and
more important ones. Home rule should be
the demand, and no more.

SECRETARY WHITNEY's campaign for the
presidency has been begun in earnest, and he
really seems to think that he has some little
show of being considered as a candidate by
some one else besides himself and family. A
formal newspaper article, probably emanating
from his bureau" r~ecounts his many vir-
tues and qualifications, and presents a picture
Of the gentleman. 1t is represented that he has
had his "boom" started ever since the day Of
the Inauguration, that his arrangements are
wonderfully complete, and that his wires"
are plated with gold. 1t is explained that he
will be a power in the Democratic convention
by reason Of the fact that he is a millionaire,
and comes of wealthy stock. There is Ger.
tainly no other reason for thinking of him in
connection with that high office, or for any
other In which the people at large have any
voice. The workingmen of this country
readily recall the fact that he has lone meal
culable harm to their interests in ~prejudicing
the public mind against the products of
American labor. 1t was William G. Whitney
who drove into bankruptcy the largest ship
building company in this country, to make
capital for his candidacy for the presidency.
1t was one of the most inexcusa5le outrages
oyer committed upon American industry.

The threat to keep up the strike indefinitely
can mean nothing if not that it is the inten-
tion Of the strikers to forcibly interfere with
the business of the roads. 1t is demonstrated
that, left to themselves, the railway COM
panies will have no trouble in getting all the
men they want to Go their business. The
question is simply whether any men not
Knights of Labor have the right to work for
whom they please.

WHAT is the matter with Eastern civiliza-
tionf In the little State of New Jersey, where
Justice is popularity supposed to be ever wide
awake, and whore offenders against the law
never escape their deserts, where hanging is
as sure to follow murder as nightmare supple
ments mince pie, and all in strict accordance
with the law, a lynching has taken place, and
now another is threatened. Where is all this
to end And what is to be the distinguishing
mark between the cultured East and the wild
and u~ntntored Westf At Freehold, N. j.,
two men are held for the lynching of "Mingo
Jack" OF a truth this sounds very like a
distinctively Western episode, name and all.

THE New York World unkindly raps the
mugwumps over the knuckles for presuming

ceeas to show that they do not know what
they want, and, worse, that they are incon-
sistent in indorsing the President in his dis

civil-service reform "as il is writ, and compared
it with civil-service reform as 1t is illustrated by
the appoint OF the Lambs, Hanlons and Conroys
to important places under the government
speech as there was grinning and ehastly truth.
If the President read his speech, and we pre-
sumo Colonel Lamont went to the trouble to see
that he did, he learned more in couple OF columus
of cold type about his appoiniees than he could
have learned in d month from the petitions on
which he based his OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES petitions
signed by the distinguished gentlemen who

The largest stove foundry in this State is to
be boycotted because men who do not belong
to the Knights of Labor are employed there.
The man who is not a member of this organi-
cation is supposed to have no rights in this
country, and business is to be paralyzed if he
is allowed to live without joining that body of
men. In short, to be an American citizen is
no longer enough.

1T was hardly to be expected that the Dem
ocratic members Of Congress would rest until
they made a. attempt to GUST Romeis, the
member from the Toledo district, and to seat
Frank FL ard, who, as every honest man knows,
was not elected. The committee to whom the
contest was referred decided that Mr.. Hurd
had no case, and it was reasonable to expect
that the attempt. to steal the seat would be
abandoned. It is represented that the friends
of Mr.. Hurd have made a pretty thorough
canvass of the House, and they sxpadEto seat
their man by a small majority. Practically
it amounts to very little whether Mr.. Romeis
is robbed or not. The House is thoroughly
Democratic anyhow, and it would not change
the situation were he to be ousted and his seat
given to Mr.. Hurd. But beyond that it is
more serious question. When the committee
reported adversely to the claims of Mr.. Hurd
the Journal felicitated the country over the
fact that it was a triumph in favor of better
things. We regarded it as little less than
marvellous that a Democratic committee could
be found that had the courage to do so honor
able a thing. 1t certainly was not according
to Democratic ideas. It is now apparent that
the party will make an effort to dragoon the
House for the purpose Of compelling Demo
cratic members to vote for the seating of Mr..
Hurd, though it is evident that he was not
elected. 1t will be a sorry day for this coun-
try when it comes to be understood that all a
MAI needs to get into Congress is a majority
Of the members composed Of his own party.
Free elections will then be a farce.

could be easily carried on by the contrivance.

that 'seven negatives were taken in al1' before

a President can suspend public officers at his
will during a recess Of the Senate, refusing to
give either to the officers or their friends any
reason for his action, and refusing the Senate
the papers on file relating to the matters,
there can be no certain tenure for any person
who holds a government position" The
World might have added that therefore the
President had practically rendered nugatory
these rules. It does this in effect when it
goes on to say: ssWhy do the mugwumps
thus indorse a policy directly antagonistic to
their civil-service reform professions?" The
most reasonable explanation of this paradox is
that they have not the manly courage to adj
NIT that they were mistaken in going to the
aid Of the Democratic party in the hope of
getting what they demanded in this respect.
In for il, they stubbornly propose bullying
it through, regardless of consistency. The
World presents another reason for their atti-
tude. It thinks that they thus impeach their
own honor because they are alright
ed by Blaine's bugle. Because they
fear that any criticism of Mr.. Cleveland
would aid to make Blaine's ghost a substantial
body and to fill the next presidential term
with it." This will hardly do. If the mug
wumps care anything for consistency, they can
hardly afford to admit Of the possibility Of a
second nomination Of Mr.. Blaine. They have
ever insisted that the country" pronounced
against him, and that there can be no posi-
bility of his second candidacy, to say nothing
of a possible election. If the unqualified
truth were told of these very conscientious
gentlemen, it would be that they are dishon-
est in both directions. They pretended to in
dorse the course of the President in an action
that has brought their theories into contempt.
This they did in order to appear consistent
and not to admit that they were fallible. They
would like to make it apper that they do not
fear a possible candidacy of Mr.. Blaine, when,
if the truth were known, they are very much
afraid. And they are further afraid that if
nominated he would be elected. Not that they
fear for their pet policy, for MIR. Blaine would
not nave treated it with such contempt as the
President has, but rather that they have very
good reason to fear that some very uunco guild
and very wise gentlemen made fools Of them
selves in 1884.
