EVERY workingman, and indeed every one,
should read Mr. Andrew Carnegie's contribu-
tion to the literature of the labor strike. Mr.
Carnegie is one Of the clearest and justest
thinkers upon this problem that has appeared
for years. He properly claims for labor the
right to organize as we'll as capital to confed-
crate or corporate itself; but he shows the
brute and blind force of both strikes and lock-
outs. They settle nothing. They are like
war; and Mr.. Lincoln said that after the sword
had done its best or worst, the old questions
remained for settlement. So it is in labor.
No strike and no lockout that was ever entered
upon settled ANY question, or was pro
ductive Of anything but serious loss or dam
age, which, in the nature of things, must
necessarily be borne in the last analysis by the
men who work for wages. Strikes are labor's
worst enemies. Mr.. Carnegie's suggestions as
to arbitration, and his observations upon the
difference between the employment of labor
on large and comparatively small scale,
are the result of long experience, keen OBJ
servation, and naturally just disposition.
Nothing can be truer than that in such
cases employer and employees can easily
and readily come together for the adjustment
of any supposed grievance, and reach an
amicable conclusion without strike or a
lockout. The solution Of labor troubles, as
it appears to us, in present conditions,
seems to be in the fair and proper application

EVERY editorial paragraph and article in
yesterdays st. Louis Globe Democrat ended
with the phrase, "Move the trains" The
Missouri Pacific started one freight train in
che afternoon, after experiencing some diff
6culty, and by the aid of the police, who
were forced to club an assembly of interfering
people quite vigorously.

ing man, Real workingmen viii not be
caught with this chat. Captain Many will
receive the hearty support Of Republican
workingmen, and of any other whose man
hood and intelligence will resent the imper-
thence of the effort to hitch them to partic-
ular party. Real workingmen cannot be
bought and sold, or traded off like SO many
sheep by scheming Democratic politicians.

THERE are rumors of a proposed strike
among the switchmen and yardmen in Indian
apolis. An indianapolis shipper asked one of
them, yesterday, what they were going to
strike for, and he replied: ooh, out of SYM
pathy.' Sympathy is noble virtue, but like
mercy, it should not be strained; and the
Journal ventures to suggest to the railroad
men of Indianapolis that to throw themselves
out of satisfactory employment because of
the discharge Of Hall, in Marshall, Tex, is
decidedly severe strain on sympathy. AS
the Chicago Knight well said, the railroad
men could better afforded to have taken care
of MIR. Hall than to do what they have done.
Hall is about the most expensive knight that
was ever known. No man has yet given a
sound, substantial reason for the strike on the
Missouri Pacific road, and that fact has lost
the movement public sympathy No strike can
or ever will succeed without public sympathy.
With that the workingmen almost invariably
carry their point and secure justice. If there
are good and valid reasons for discomfort
among the railroad men in Indianapolis let
the facts be known, and fair, manly, honor
able effort made with the railway managers to
adjust the supposed wrongs. But to strike
out of sympathy" for somebody in Texas,
who may not be worthy object of sympathy;
to throw themselves and others out of salts
factory employment; to cripple the railroads
and demoralize business; to develop antag-
onisms where harmony now exists; to expose
all the manifold interests involved in strike
for nothing, is not only foolish, it is criminal
We do not believe that any considerable num-
Der of the prudent, intelligent workingmen of
Indianapolis can be caught in wild craze.

REPORTS from Bulgaria are very much
mixed. That the revolution has come to
an inglOrious end seems certain, but
what will result from Alexander's re-
turn cannot be even guessed at Ger
many and Austria have apparently sac
rificed Alexander to curry favor with
the Russian emperor and they have only
paved the way for future difficulties by
so doing. A judicious Intervention in
the affairs Of Servia, Bulgaria and Rou-
melia would have strengthened the
bonds Of national alliance between
these kingdoms and interposed strong
barrier to the southern progress of Rus
STA. By giving Russia foothold in Bull
garia, Germany and Austria have mega
tived all England's attempts to thwart
Russia's designs on the BosphOrus and
paved the way for certain conflict with
that power in the future. Bismark is
playing second fiddle to Alexander Of
Russia in way that is not calculated to
preserve the balance OF power in Eu-
rope, and his course is severely criticised
at home and abroad.

A Thrilling Test.

Youths Companion.
When President Lincoln appointed a
rigid discIplinarian commander OF the
department of Virginia, he promised
that General that he should be allowed
to shoot deserters. But the Presidents
kindness of heart was more powerful
than his respect for the discipline of the
army, and he did not keep his promise.
One day he received from the General
this telegram:
president Lincoln, pray you not to
interfere with the COurt-martial of the
army. You will destroy all discipline
amongst our soldiers"
The day after the reception OF the
telegram an old man was seen by con-
gresham crying all alone in corner OF
the white Houses antc-TOOm. waiting,
with hundred others, to see the presl-
dent.
Whats the matter with you, old
man?r asked the kind-hearted Represen-
tative. The old man told him the story
OF his son, a soldier in the Army OF Viz
ginia, and sentenced to be shot. The
Congressman took the old man into Mr..
LincOln's room.
"Well, my old friend, what can do
for you today" asked the President
The aged father told his story.
81 am sorry to say that l can 90 noun
ing for you" answered the President, in
the most mournful of tones. Listen to
this telegram which | received yester-
day from the General"
The old mans grief as he listened was
too heart-rending for the merCiful Presi-
dent.
Selling pen, he exclaimed:
by lingo, General or no General, here
goes ~ and wrote:
Job Smith is not to be shot until fur
Their orders from me.
"ABRAIIAM LINCOLN"
"Why, Thought it was to be par
DOM" "But you say not to be shot till
further ORDERS and you may order him
to be shot next week."

coin, smiling at the aged fathers tears.

with.me. lfyOur son lives until | order
him to be shot, he will live longer
than Methuselah did"
The old man departed, invoking
blessing upon the head of the good
President.
