THE lamentable fact remains that we must

said, can do great work IL they will They can
unite the workingmen in d body irresistible
so long as their demands are kept within the
bounds OF justice and law. We wish them all
success In doing So But they must understand
that with their power goes responsibility. They
cannot have one without the other. If they
show that their organization can control its
members and keep them within the lines of their
rights under the law, they can have anything
they soberly, intelligently, and honestly seek.

WE have heard a great deal the past few
months of the danger that il the coinage of silver
was not stopped gold would be boarded, and that
terrible contraction of the currency would re-
suit It would seem that the Treasury officials
were bent on producing the contraction without
waiting for any boarding on the part of the pub
lie, and they may possibly succeed. They are
sweeping money into the treasury at the rate of
five millions of dollars month, and, aided by
the demand of the agricultural districts, they
will soon compel the banks to curtail their ac-
comm odations, and may produce great COM
mercial distress New York Sun.

THE Louisville Commercial says:

s.The Hooser Methodists are very indignant
over the failure of the Rev. Sam Jones to appear
Sunday at the Acton camp-ground. The mana
gers had widely advertised that he would be there,
and crowd of 90, 900 people assembled to hear
him But the revivaSst was one hundred miles
away, instructng Buckeye sinners in the proper
use of aims giving He had never agreed to be
at the Acton meeting. and its managers had
made use of his name simply to attract crowd
and fill their treasury. 1t was mean and pitt
full performance, and to bring gion into
contempt. 1t has been known here for months
that Mr. Jones was to be at Loveland on Sunday,
and the announcements of his presence at Acton,
which were spread broadcast over Indiana last
week, were known to be false After ALL it
looks as if the action of the Ohio Conference. in
ordering the gates of the Loveland grounds to be
closed on Sunday was both prudent ana wise.
Such action, at least, has this merit, it takes
away from the camp-meeting that appearance of
lust for gain which brings religion into con-

THE New York World takes column to
prove that the President is not better than his
party. It is difficult to understand why the
World should seek to stab the President in
this manner just at this time, when he is
about to enter upon the enjoyment of his
summer vacation. The Democratic President
that is not better than his party has little
business as the chief executive of this Nation.
But, after all, it is hard to say whether this is
or is not compliment to the President A
President not better than the Democratic
party is to be pitied, while the party that has
not better record than the President now in
Office has little to be proud Of That the
question should be seriously discussed is
proof that the World recognizes what has
been apparent to the rest of mankind inter
ested in the government at Washington, that
the Democratic party had a reputation that
was not above suspicion and condemnation.
For not less than quarter of a century the
Democratic party has rightfully labored under
the shadow of being what it should not be.
From the days when it was the nest of trea-
son and gave birth and being to armed re-
bellion to the present time, it has been re-
garded with distrust. 1t would not be in
power to-day but for the fact that by fraud
and violence it has vitiated elections in the
South. It is anything but complimentary to
Mr.. Cleveland that it should be questioned
whether he is not better than the party that
elected him. The man who is not ashamed Of
the record Of the Democratic party during the
past twenty five years has little claim to being
called patriotic

IT is believed that in case of the death of
Pope Leo his successor would be Cardinal
Parrocclli Vicar general Of Rome, who was
removed from his Archbishopric in Bologna on

The Central Labor Union, of Philadelphia
having been informed by the typographical
union Of that city that Editor Cuttings career
has for years been ''most despicable," he hav-
ing, upon numerous occasions, inaugurated
secret rafting expeditions against the union
printers of the country, therefore resolves:
''That this Central Labor Union calls upon
Secretary Bayard to institute rigid and thor
ough investigation into the fact of the recent
occurrences in Mexico before taking any
further action in the matter, so that the gov
eminent of the United States may not be in
yolved in difficulty on behalf of an indi-
vidual who. while he claims the protection of
our government as citizen of the country,
has been concerned in many violations of its
law"
1t is further resolved by this labor union,
which takes a hand in international affairs
with the readiness of an experienced diplo-
mate, that "a copy OF this resolution be
furnished Secretary Bayard" The union,
which is composed of cigar-makers, granite
cutters, basket-makers and printers does not
state what action will be taken in case the
Secretary ignores their commands, and in his
wild impetuousity does involve the country in
trouble; but it must be supposed that at the
very least he will be boycotted. If at any
time the head Of the State Department find
that dealers decline to supply him with CT
CARS, or that his utterances cannot get into
print, owing to the refusal of typographers to
set them up, he cannot say that he has not
been warned. If after this Mr.. Bayard in,
wolves the United States in war it is plain
that he does so at his peril

ELEVEN Of the Philadelphia delegates to the

THE hack drivers of Philadelphia are in
movement looking to abolishing Sunday funer-

ness of their best day. On Sunday the people
are generally bent on pleasure, and their belief
is that the burial of the dead should give way TO
the pleasure of the living. The idea is not
bad one, and if it shall result in aboshing death
for day of the seven, it is possible that some
arrangement can be made to provide against
dissolution on the other six days Of the week, 30
that death will no longer terrify the living nor
interfere with the fun of those who have no
patience with funerals on Sunday

Venice is not the Asatic cholera at all, but
kind of endemic trouble. To all intents and
purposes it is a good enough cholera. The CORE
sondent explains that it is made an object to the
Venetian physicians to make out as many cases of
cholera as possible, since they allowed % francs
for each case discovered and treated. Hence it
is that every citizen of that municipality who
has touch of green-apple collie is set down in
the books as having the real old cholera.
