WASHINGTON, APRIL 90, 1886
FORCE AGAINST FORCE.

1t Is understood that the New Eng
land manufacturers have had In con
temptation for some time past, or in
process of formation, compact among
themselves for mutual protection
against strikes, and, Of course, suili-
Gently well fortified with funds to en-.
able them to suspend operations en-
tirely and order a general lock out, on
the principle that au injury to one cot
ton mill is an injury to all, and the
mills must stand in together to help
each other through.
1t is now stated that the big railway
corporations and moneycd monopolies
generally throughout the country have
entered into similar combination with
the view of crushing ont the knights of
Labor and recognissng 9 only non union
men asemploycs. "
A New York special says that this
combination incMdes not only the
Gould and Wabash systems, but all the
great trunk lines, the surface railroad
corporations in the city Of New York,
the sugar reilncries in Brooklyn aud
other industrial interests; that it has
millions of dollars at its command, and
that TO all practical intents and pur-
poses Mr.. Jay Gould is the general
master workman of the new order of
the knights of Capital.
Upon the latter point, however, it
will be noticed that Mr.. Gould volun-
teered no information to the House
Committee; nor did it occur to the
committee to catechise him on so deli
cate subject. But much or little
truth as there may be in the statement
that such combination has really
been made, it is apparent that this is
what the trouble will come to, unless
it is otherwise adjusted--a contest of
endurance between organized capital
and organized labor, with the chances
all in favor of the side having the most
money, the weightiest responsibilities
TO the people and the strongest support
of public opinion, the element of sym.
pathy being by this time entirely elm.
mated from the account.
Might, however, does not always
make right; and the precipitation OF
such an issue, while still further neces
stating some means of amicable and
rational arbitration, would at the SAME
time, by intensifying the antagonistiC
relations between the parties in conten
ton, render such solution of the diff
Guilty less practicable and surround il
with new complications
There can be no permanent and
prosperous peace which is not based
upon free consent and mutuality of in,
terest. Peace upon any terms, as Q
compulsory expedient, is not to bt
greatly desired nor long to be de
pended on, and the resources of states
manship should be exhausted to fine
some basis of settlement, even though
1t be Federal Commission, on whicl
Labor and Capital can be brought har
moniously together. The whole mat
ter belongs properly to the State
themselves, and should be regulated b,
interS State authority; but in the alb
sence Of any concert Of action or move
ment in this direction on the part o
the States, the immediate responablit,
rests with Congress. Better, indeed
a tribunal with autocratic powers, i
sanctioned by law, than the proposed
wager Of battle on the lines of despoti
force,

THE NEW YORK PRESS.

The World this morning says of the reported
organization of Capital against Labor: zone
great trouble about a combination of q GER
tain class Of capitalists is that they are almost
constantly engaged In trying to disquaify
each other for membership. They will not
take kindly to mode of mutual helpfulness
which would practically turn Wall street and
the Stock Exchange into desert. When the
representatives of labor and capital respect
lively sum up the wisdom gained from what
ever experiences they have yet to go through,
they will be disposed to unite upon the trite
proposition that neither can get along with
out the other.n
The TriJlme is in favor of the public dis.
cussion of treaties by the Senate and believes
it would often have a salutary effect. 'lf
adopted by the Senate after public discus
sion, a treaty would go to the House with the
force of popular opinion behind It and not be
imposed upon the Representatives. us an as
sumcd constitutional obligation following
from the action OF the treaty making power. ~
The star is opposed to the Mississippi River
Commission, ard says that mot single prac-
tical result can be pointed to in indication of
that body's usefulness. A great deal of the
opposition to the River and Harbor bill Is re.
ferable to distrust of the River Commission,
and Is manifested by men who are sincere
friends of river improvement. They see no
possible good in q continuation of methods
which experience has shown 10 be utterly In.
eifectual."
The Sun says "The several States have
ability and wisdom enough to protect them
selves against domestic violence so far as this
can be done by providing for arbitration OF
other methods of conciliation in labor dis.
putes, the consequences of which are con.
fined to their own territory. They do not
need the assistance of the Federal power in
this respect"
The Reidld says: During the last year
about twenty millions Of acres of our public
| lands have been absorbed, some honestly
| many dishonesty. Now we have two hun

| When they are exhausted our resources In

have, and they will soon need more. Their

The Times strongly favors the Thomas gas
bill, which has passed the State Senate II

THE GRAND OLD MAN.

Serene and strong the grand old statesman

Upon the people Of the British lands
Wisely relying.
They tell us that the man Is old and gray;
So are the mountains
Whose bald heads glisten with the silver

Eternal wonder.

His domination fears no factions fight

OF opposition.
Though old in battles, on his sheathless brand
NO stain of rust Is;
With good old words he sways an ancient

THE EASTER GIRL.

The season of sackcloth is over; Lent
has gone by and now the fashionable
young woman can once more turn her
attention to tea-fghts, theatre parties,
balls and the other things which go to
make up her existence. She has OBJ
served Lent in a somewhat decollete
manner, it is true, but on the whole
she has been consistent penitcnt.
That she has not been idle was shown
by the wonderful costume and no less
wonderful hat that she wore to church
yesterday. She emerged from her
penitental period more bewitching
than ever and eager to again resume
that mode of life with which the ad-
vent of Lent is supposed to interfere.
Like giant refreshed with old wine her
soul is in arms and eager for the fray,
and she will have nothing to complain
of for there is long list of events be.
fore her.
The theatres have taken a new squirt
and will be more than usually at
tractive. There is the Calico Ball at
the Chinese Legation tonight, where
she may daily with dignihed diplomats
and ilirt with dudes. If she is an
admirer of the military there is the
Light Infantry fair, at which she will
be most welcome. She will probably
be a participant in the Kirmes and
enjoy the rehearsals preceding that
memorable event. And then there
are fashionable amateur theatrical en-
tertainments on the tapis, and she will
be found there, The outlook for the
wonderful Easter girl and her hat,
which, by the way, is an inch or so
higher than its predecessor, is very
bright indeed We hope she will have
a perfectly splendid" time before the
