MowRYTowN, April 10Th, 1885.
EDITORS NEWS. s.HERALp:-Old Winter has
been lingering around rather familiarly
lately; and sat down in the lap Of spring on
election day, much to the disgust OF the far
mer; but nature is again smiling; the birds
sing, wheat and grass are greening up. DC.
casionally we see q tree or book peddler.
Schools have closed for the winter, loafers
are plenty, and now Is a good time for the
nail keg polisher at the corner grocery to
lean over the fence and tell the old granger
how to do II; he knows more about horses,
cattle, hogs, beans, onions, ETC., than ten
men that can render reason; and you ought
to hear thom on strikes; the fellow that Is
best posted on strikes generally has his sit.
ting apparatus half soled. We find there is an
over. production Of school teachers in this
township-just thirty, and seven schools;
the result is our school elections are lively;
what we will do with them I don't know,
they don't like to work, and IT'S hard on the
old dad to keep them; better go West boys,
and grow up with the country. We see that
Governor Foraker says funds are getting low
in the State treasury and recommends
whisky taxation; that is right, tax the truck,
and increase assessment Of bonds, etc. He
complains that lands are not assessed
equally. Better let the farmers alone. They
pay more tax now than any other class. The
average farmer in these parts is paying tax
on what he owes thusly; he buys farm and
pays one or two.thirds cash, the balance
runs on mortgage, or he has poor crops, or is
unfortunate and gets behindhand and is
forced to borrow money on mortgage. He is
taxed on his land and pays interest on what
he owes, and the land not his in reality.

= In repealing the ordinance which re-
quires two days work on the streets the
council did sensible thing. The ordi-
nance and the law authorizing it are
just enough in themselves, but their
working is imperfect. Some obey the
summons, but manyd do not, and thus in
justice is wrought. The act lacks ade-
quate means to enforce it, and a law,
without sufficient power behind it to
make it cllectual, is worse than no law
at all

The labor troubles have grown more
complicated during the past week. 1t
is to be said to the credit of the Knights
OF Labor that the instigators of the re.
cent riots did not belong to their order,
and that leading Knights earnestly en-.
deavored to allay the violent disposition
of the mob. A leader in lawlessness, OF
whatever nature, is always followed by
an army OF would-be criminals, and a
few loud.mouthed malcontents are re.
sponsible for the disasters which East st.
Louis has lately witnessed. Yet, in the
outset, the Knights of Labor were wrong,
and although, not directly criminated by
the recent calmity, the strike led indi-
rectly to the present bloodshed ard in.
cendiarism. The organization certainly
teaches false theory of the relations be-
tween labor and capital. If an employer
dismisses laborer and they square ac.
counts, neither has any claim upon the
other. The laborer has no right to insist
that he be re-employed, much less to de-
stroy the employers property because
they can not agree. And no matter il
two million employees join the first,
the rule remains the same. Therefore
the strikers of the Southwestern Railway
System are wrong in asserting what they
call their "rights." The rights of q
knight are no more exalted than those
of the humblest laborer in the land, and
the order confers no new authority
One division Of the public opinion blamei

A question would naturally arise in thai
capitalists mind as to whether he owed
the most TO the men who came to him
or to those who deserted him in the time
OF need, and in the light of reason the
question il not hard to decide. Jay
Gould does not owe it to the public t6

There has been remarkable mortality
in Fourth Ward, A., Cincinnati, since
last falls election. Nearly half the pop
ulation is dead. Nearly the entire
Doodle element has departed this life
and If any still remain they are hereby
respectfully requested to join the silent
majority. The total vote polled in that
precinct last fall was 996, and the total
at the recent election was 52S. The Re-
publican vote increased 155 and the
Democratic vote decreased 634; so the
death angel seems to have a partiality
for Democrats.

The silver question is temporarily off
