There is no denying that the labor
question threatens in the near future to
assume greater proportions than ever
before. both IN this country and Europe.
In many sections the feeling Of antago-
nlsm between employers aud employees is
growing. and no effective means are being
taken to alay 1t. Riots and bloodshed
only make matters worse for all parties
commemorative conflict becomes irrecon-
/ cilable even where actual outbreaks are
suppressed and great suffering, especial
/ ly Of the helpless and unofending, is the
result.
The interests OF employer and employe
are really identical, and most labor
troubles arise from Misunderstanding, or
arbitrary and oppressive requirements or
demands on one side or the other. Where
both sides are disposed to be reasonable
md just there is little difficulty in salts
factorily settling all questions that may
arise.
In comparatively few cases is the en-
ployer the enemy or the employe. Very
frequently the real enemies of the latter
are his own habits and associates. Every
laboring maD, whether his work be that
OF the brain, the muscle, or both COM
bined, should aspire to independence, and
look forward to day when he will be
an employer instead OF an employe.
Those who are industrious, earnest and
temperate usually attain to comparative
independence sooner or later. II unfor-
seen and unavoidable misfortunes come,
they are made more grievous and harder
to bear by dissipation, and prosperity sell
dom comes to those who follow the paths
Of intemperance and vice.
just now the great question for the true
laboring men of America is not so much
a political one, as a question of morals
and personal and social habits. The So
luton of the question is in the hands of
the laboring men themselves. The true
laborng man is not a slave or a mere
machine or degraded being, but an in
telligent, moral, responsible component
of society.
Any order or organization that tends to
advance the true interests of laboring
men is for the good of the country, and
should be recognized and encouraged by
all true patriots. An organization that
tends to degrade laboring men and make
them the tools Of politicians and design
ing leaders Injuries those who sustain it
more than 1t Injuries any other class, or
the country generally. Where to draw
the line is matter for intelligent labor
ing men themselves TO decide.
1t is gratifying to know that the labor
ing men of America, with few 10 cal ex-
ceptions, are not inclined to follow the
leadership OF the socialists, anarchists
and other enemies to society. An over.
whelming majority of American laboring
men mean to do right, and this being the
case they cannot 90 far wrong. This fact
and their intelligence makes the labor
question in this country hopeful one.
The people of the United States recog-
nize the dignity Of labor. In nearly
every part of the Union the only patent of
nobility recognized is that acquired by
honest, faithful labor,

The EnxIiah Grown Jewels.

and some other countries. Here there is a
lot of flagree gold work. great golden crowns,
plain aud bejeweled. and the only two among
all worth mentioning are, first, the Queen Vic
toria coronation bonnet, which is a cup OF
purple velvet in hoops of silver, surmounted
by ball ana cross, respondent with dia-
monds, and in the centre of the cross
is the ''inestlmable sapphire" and
in front lie the great, heart-shaped ruby
said to have been worn by the Black Prince
The other diadem, called st. Edwards Crown

brilliantly honeycombed IN gems of the purest

the humble Turquoise. This bonnet has

A DipIomat's Loaf DIAMOND.

Washington Letter i8s the BaltiBl,re A7nes,icas
Mrs. ex-senator Groome was not the only
one who lost diamonds at the diplomatic re-
ception at the White House last week. Among
the foreign Ministers there was one who ap-
peared in q magnificent diamond decoration.
The jewef was greatly admired, and the d.
pcma. was very proud Of it. He always
takes the grsat0st paias TO showIt on to the
best adv aAteKa wben he wears 10.
After the feceRtion at the White
House the Minister, TO avoid having
TO wait . long time for his own carriage
to come In turn, jumped into a cab and
was driven home. He dismissed it, and
on entering the house discovered that he had
lost his diamond decoration. He was in a ter
rible state Of mind. and calling a servant sent
post haste back to the White House to ask if it
had been found. The officials at the Execu-
tive mansion knew nothing of it, for they had
looked the house over for Mrs. GroOmes
jewel Next day another search was made,
but without success. During the day the cab
driver presented himself az the Minister'S
house and asked to see him. When the Minis
ter appeared the cab y handed him his ria
mont decorator. 1t took the Minister exactly
half an hour to thank the man, aud Then ne
put his hand in HE pocket and drew forth
J0-cent piece and handed it to the cabby. The
man looked at it, nut il did not take him
half hOur to return thanks.

Inquiring About Free Passes.

Mr.. Adams, President Of the Union Pa
cific railroad, would like to discover some
way to get rid Of the free pass system,
and 1t is probable that Presidents of other
railroads would like to discover some
way to get rid oft. In his testimony be-
fore committee OF the Senate Mr.. Adams
said, in answer to a question by Senator
Plat, that If the Senator would find a
way to enable the Union Pacific Company
to do away altogether with free passes
the company would at once make very
considerable reduction in its passenger
rates. From this statement it seems that
the public has to pay for the deadheads.
That this deadhead tax is pretty heavy is
shown by the statement of Mr.. Adams
that the free passes on the Union Pacific
railroad amount TO $4,000 day.
Ia answer TO a question whether he
would like to have a stringent law pro-
hibiting free passes, Mr.. Adams said:
"NOthing would please me more. should
like to have a heavy penalty imposed.
do not, as rule, like to work through
legislation in these matters, but if you
will pass law prohibiting all free passes
and subjecting to ine and imprisonment
any man who signs pass, or any con-
ductor who takes a pass up, or any man
who rides on pass, you will do the coun-
try a great service. Such a law would
relieve US OF one OF the greatest annoy
ances, outrages, and abuses that now
exist in connection with the railroad bust
ness"
Some of the most persistent beggars for
free passes are members OF State Legisla-
lures, Congressman and Judges. and they
have absolutely no excuse for asking for
them. They do nothing in return for the
passes, or, at least. they cannot honestly
do anything. The free passes they get
are something like blackmail or hush
money. The railroad companies think
that II they don't comply with their de-
mand for free passes they may expect
hostile legislation and adverse decisions.
This is certainly condition OF affairs
greatly to be deplored. IL is important
that judges aud Legislators shOuld be i'm
partial and honest, but how can they be
either when thsy are under obligations 10
great corporations whose business con-
nections extend to almost every branch
OF business.
II would be a wise thing for Congress to
do to enact q severe law prohibiting its
membe and other Federal officials from
accepting free passes, and also prohibit
ing railroads under It's jurisdiction from
issuing them. The Senate might also
help TO put an end 10 the free pass bust
ness by refusing TO confirm any nomina-
ton until the nominee subscribed TO an
oath that he would not accept a free
pass.
