Queen Victoria spontaneously paid
a great compliment to America re-
Gently in receiving Mrs. Phelps, the
wife of the United States minister,
in a private audience at Windsor
castle. Mrs. Phelps was accompani-
ed by Earl and Countess Rosebery.
The party was met at the Windsor
station and conveyed to the castle by
special court carriages. The Count
ess presented Mr.. Phelps in the Am
bassadors' room. The Queen re-
ceived Mrs. Phelps cordially and
conversed with her for some time.
The reception of a minister's wife
privately by the Queen is almost phe-
nomenal. That honor is due only to
the wives of ambassadors. The
honor Is the more marked because
the Queen will hold ''drawing-
room shortly, at which it is GUS
tomary to present ministers wives to
her. Mrs. Phelps was attired in
mourning. The party took luncheon
at the castle, and was conveyed back
to the station in the same royal car
1iages, preceded by gorgeous pos
tilions.

The first steps toward our new
navy have been taken. The Naval
Committee have reported a bill to
the house authorizing the building of
two armored cruisers of six thou
sand tons each; three double
toned cruisers of five thousand tons
each, four torpedo boats, one torpe-
do cruiser. All these vessels are to
built, and are to be equal to any
thing of their kind ahoat. And the
president is authorized to direct the
completion of the double turretcd
monitors Puritan, Amphitrite, Mo-
nadnock and Terror, for which the
sum of 100000 is appropriated.
We have now only navy on paper ;
it is high time that we have some
vessels capable of performing any
work that might be required.

President Cleveland in his mes
sage to the senate, has spoken none
too promptly or too emphatically in
reference to the barbarous abuse of
the Chinese in different portions of
the country. There seems to be
somewhat apologize strain in por-
tons of the message. We can hard
ly look upon the call for pecuniary
remuneration for the losses of these
inoffenses. Orientals in ithe brutal
riots to which they have been ex-
posed, in the light of gratuity or
charity, as the president seems to
put to the matter. 1t is only small
potion of the righteous claim which
these bounded and robbed men have
upon the country, which has failed
of its treaty covenants in defending
them from violence. What we have
feared, and really have had album
dant occasion to expect seems liable
| to befall our American missionaries,
tourists, and business men IN China

1t is among the rumors in political
circles that Carl Schurz is dissatisfied
with the presidents course of late
and will soon appear in public op-
position. Mr.. Schurz complains
that the president has violated his
promise that he would remove no
one except for cause. To sustain
the president for a whole year is
all that can be expected of Mr..
Schurz. He is born agitator, and
would be as uncomfortable out of a
row as a fish out of water.

The temperance convention at
Nashville on Tuesday was the first
gun in the prohibition campaign in
Tennessee. About one-tenth of the
delegates were colored. The demand
is for the submission of the liquor
question to a popular vote. So far
as the reports show, there is no pro-
vision for county or city votes. 1t
will be bitter fight, the "dry" par
ty having the memories of Georgia
urging them to battle. Sam Jones
is in that part of the South at pres
ent preaching on his characteristical-
ly severe lines of reform, and his
words are echoed upon all sides.
"Nothing but an Internal seoundrel
will sell liquor" he exclaimed the
other day, "and nothing but an IN
fernal fool will drink it," And now
the question is how many ''infernal
fools" are there in Tennessee?

Rumors are still thick about the
Payne bribery case. The latest from
Washington is that the matter is to
be turned over to the national senate
because that body can compel the ap-
pearance of witnesses who are keep
ing outside of Ohio while the investi-
cation lasts, among them Oliver
Payne, the senator's son, and John
R. Mclean. A story comes from
Columbus that Pendleton has taken
the advice of his friends and will
help throw light on Payne's election,
and that the republican members of
the committee slipped down to Gin
cinatti over Sunday for a look at
Pendleton's private correspondence,
in the hands of his secretary. Among
others are said to be letters from va
rious Pendleton men before election
who voted for Payne at the last
minute. This last is interesting if
true.

1t is an undisputed and absolute
fact that the most powerful organic
alton in the United States to-day is
the combination known as the
Knights of Labor. The issue of
capital versus organized labor and
vice versa has become the most i'm
portant one with which the people of
this country have to deal. In nearly
every case when question arises
between corporations and their en-
ployees as 10 the value of labor the
matter can be settled by just and
fair arbitration. Capital has always
organized for self protection, and we
believe that labor has the same right.
The working people are now exercis-
ing this right, and are justified in so
doing. We believe, however, that in
case body of employees ''go OUT
the corporation has an undisputed
right to hire others to take their
places if they offer themselves, wheth-
er the price paid is just or unjust.
If strikers leave their business and
non-union laborers offer to do the
work at the old price they have a
right to be protected against clubs,
buckshot, brickbats, assault and bat
terry and tar and feathers. This is
in fact and this must continue to be
a free country, where every man and
woman can use their own discretion
We do not believe in mob law nor do
we think it is ever justifable or nee
essary. On the other hand corpora
tons must acknowledge the fact that
ten hours is days work. If en-
ployers cannot keep up their bust
ness with ten hours work, then let
them increase their facilities and
and hire more help. This is the first
and most important principle involv-
ed in the rights of labor. The inev-
liable result of the present agitation
will be that no laborer shall be called
upon or compelled to work more than
ten hours. The other element is a
fair, just and honest price for the
amount of intelligent and faithful
labor that can be accomplished in
this time. The ultimate and final
result will be effected on this basis
Thus every element should be salts
fed, and in great measure the con-
fiict between labor and capital will
| cease. Clipper.

on the other side of the subject, to

When l think of the delightful COM
partnership of good books, and of the
vast treasures of thought which have
been unfolded to me through this

mains forever locked from so many,

| faction with the teacher. I am so
much in sympathy with these children
who cannot know what they arc be-
ing deprived of, / believe I will be
bold enough for the right to call on
the authorities to exercise that, at
present, unused factor of our laws on
this subject if l see another child so
defrauded of the privilege due him.
Teachers, 60 ON in your good work.
Labor with hearts full of zeal, and if
you can turn an idle OF vicious child
into the paths of industry and right
even by an occasional and judicious
use of the rod, don't be discouraged
if popular opinion is against you
Let us hope that there will be ar
awakening TO the Importance of the
obedience of children both at home
and at school, for the future safety
of our country depends upon it.

Senator Wilson of Iowa is likely,
in time, to grow weary of the sub
ject of the rates of postage on fourth
class mail matter. His attempt to
fovor the express companies by in
PRODUCING a bill to increase these
rates has been denounced from one
end of the country to the other. On
Friday the Iowa legislature, by a
unanimous vote, passed a resolution
condemning his action. The only
argument which he brings to the
support of his measure is, that cheap
postal rates enable merchants IN
large cities to undersell country
dealers. He wishes to check cen
tralization in trade. AS time goes
on he will learn that people prefer
cheap goods, even though few small
dealers are forced out of business.

Congress has appointed commit
tee to investigate "undervaluation

will attend to the task assigned it in
good faith, and "search the rascals
out" with relentless energy. Much
of the merchandise brought into this
country from foreign markets has
not paid the duty it should have paid
and therefore evil consequences have
followed. This system of fraud has
robbed the laboring man by reducing
his wages; has robbed the honest
merchant who could not compete
with home manufactured goods; has
robbed the government, and, the
prices of such merchandise having
remained the same to the consumer,
has robbed the people. 1t is time

court. It was the case of the North
ern Pacific road against the Manitoba
and 100000 was involved. The
two roads cross each other near Glyn-

possession of 100000 acres of land
near that point. The principal con-
troversy was as to which grant was
made first. Judge Brewer decided
in favor of the Northern Pacific.
