SENSIBLE MULRANEY.

This is the name Of one Of the delegates
to the Congress of Federated Trades
at Columbus, and Mr.. Mulraney deserves
the applause due to person who posses
SEES in a high degree the gem which is
called common sense, though it is rare.
"When have trouble as a bricklayer,
do not want a butcher, shoemaker,
and blacksmith to act in any troubles
that my union is involved in" says Mr..
Mulraney.
The idea of the Knights of Labor in the
various phases of folly has been that a
butcher could arrange the affairs of a
blacksmith provided he had enough of
other men who were not blacksmiths to
help him, and besides this that the black
smiths could be ordered on strike just
to coerce employers of bricklayers.
The idea that when Knight of Labor
in Arkansas has some trouble with his
employer, that all other Knights every
where else must leave work and starye
their families, is the keystone of the
fabric of system that has threatened to
turn back the natural and logical deyel-
opment of mankind and break the cur
rent of progress in country where free
institutions are the happy result of CEN
turies of growing civilization.

We think that the TINES voices the
sentiment of the people when we call on
the August Moonshee of the Dispatch to
show us that magic mirror that the moon
shoes of the orient possess, and let the
automaton figure of the "old man" fit
across its crystal reflection just once,
that we may know hereafter what he
thinks about the debt question, as he
certainly never had anything to do with
the case for which his spirit was called.

Private detectives" have become a
fertile source of Matchmaking profits, and
Judge Brady, Of New York has done a
good piece of work in sentencing one to
three years in the penitentiary, who was
convicted Of "put-up job in a divorce
case. OF all crimes not specifically
designated this is the worst, to form a
conspiracy to blast woman's life by that
same "put-up job" and the practice
which has become almost common, ought
to be stopped bya few more examples like
Judge Brady's, except that the sentence
= ought to be heavier.

Looking forward to the next contest
between the Democrats and Republicans
in this State to the view of common
sense the position of the Democrats will
be untenable in the first skirmish II the
idea holds to abrogate the decisions OF
the United States Supreme Court and
whip in all the members Of the party
with a threat.
If people of approved patriotism and
recognized as loyal to the fundamental
principles Of Democracy are to be de-
nounced as enemies of the State because
they do not approve of the personal
theories of a certain set of politicians, 1t
is time to ask what we have gained over
the Mahoneite bossism, and whether that
mechanical adjustment of autocratic
ideas is to obtain over the accepted Dem
ocra,ic principles Of free thought and ac-
ton 80,
But beyond the method is the still
worse purpose of ignoring stern fact
that was incised on the very heart of this
people with the point of the sword, and
which no theory of ancient State sover-
eighty can plaster over any more than 1t
could revoke the decree of war.
People nowadays are not to be per-
suaded or bullied into any autocratic
idea. They may be deceived for a time,
but the plan Of forcing party into line
with the knout is preposterous.
Even the bugaboo Of Malone will fail,
because it has been demonstrated re-
Gently that the Republicans can win
victory in Virginia without his aid.
Finally, the only real reason advanced
against a fair settlement Of the debt is
that the Republicans would advocate re-
pudiation and "sweep the State"
"Sweep the chimney
The party managers have heard or
ought to have heard months ago that the
Republicans, when the issue comes, are
obliged to advocate debt settlement.
Then, what on earth can be the reason
for this plan to hood the people with a
Misrepresentation and expect them to
obey the order Of the party managers un-
der the threat Of the responsibility for
more Mahoneism?
The question is open, and if it is an
swered in many quarters withan insinua-
ton against the wisdom Of the party
managers, surely there is not any circular
yet written against this exercise Of Demo
cratic privilege not laid down in the
DOlicV.

BY WHAT MEANS?

The Richmond Dispatch has at last ar
gued itself around TO our original posi-
ton on the debt question. From the FIRST
we have begged the party leaders to try
TO settle the debt question before another
election rolls around DanCjHe Register.
The Dispatch has not argued itself
around" at all. Every reader of this pa
per knows that we stand to-day exactly
where we have stood all the time since
1S93-in favor Of making the Riddleber-
ger settlement finally For this purpose
we would have the General Assembly to
meet-not to try TO patch up new set
Element. This latter is what we under
stand the Register to desire the Legisla-
ture to do if it meets
The above is from the Richmond Dis
patch. Now will our big Metropolitan
contemporary for whose opinion we have
great respect cOndescend to tell us by
what means it proposes that the Legis-
iature, if it reassembles, shall make the
Riddleberger settlement finally? Does
it favor the plan of apportioning the taxes
TO the different cities and counties? ii
not this plan then what method does it
propose the Legislature to adopt by
which the decisions of the United States
courts in reference to the coupons may
be rendered powcrless? How does the
Dtspatch propose, in palmer words, that
the State Legislature shall fight the United
States Supreme Court? If the Dispatcb
has proposed or advocated any plan, we
have failed to see it.
BY answering these simple questions
the Dlspatch, we believe, will help the
people to come to a more enlightened
view of this important matter. But this
is not the first time that we have asked
this valued journal the questions we
again beg it TO answer.-I0rtsmoutt

INTERSTATE COMMERCE Bill.

The inter State commerce bill allows
the commission to give considerable
margin in the matter of the relations be-
tween through and local freights, but as
to pooling contracts the prohibition is
positive.
1t is forbidden to give one Gus
toner an advantage over another
that is undue and unreasonable.
1t may be that the object Of pooling
agreement is not to extort unreasonable
rates. but to maintain uniformity Of
charges within certain fell Of operation
and that it does not relieve the parties
altogether from the influence Of com
petition The trunk line pool, for in
stance, in fixing its rates is compelled to
have regard for the competition of water
routes and for the tendency Of traffic to
take a course outside Of the field which it
commands.
The publication of rates required by
this bill removes the secrecy, which is one
of the strong points in fight Of cutting
rates; and the prohibition Of higher
charge for short haul than long one
prevents a road from recouping in local
freights what ii may lose in one of these
fights on long routes for low rates.

A committee Of the Central Labor
Union Of New York reported last Sun
day that the boycott against Ehret, the
brewer, was unjust and unwarranted by
the facts. The report was not adopted,
but il would have been greatly to the

had taken the occasion to make sensi-
BILE stand at once against thing
that has had temporary run be
cause il was not understood but
which is already under the ban Of the
law and must perish as soon as people
understand its character. The boycott
means combining to iniure mans bust
ness and is thereby in the nature OF com
mon sense an outrage 1t has no relation
whatever to the right OF people to
deal where they choose, which nobody
ever presumed to doubt.

1t is rumored that Recorder Matthews
name will not again be sent to the Senate,
but that the President will allow him to
continue to draw his fees until the legal
expiration of the time within which a re-
cess appointment must be reported to the
Senate and then make another appoint
ment or allow vacancy to occur.
There was an immense amount OF talk
about this appointment, as the important
Office of Recorder of Deeds Of the Dis
trict had been long held by Fred. Doug
lass, and the Washington people as well
as all influential Democrats thought the
Office should have been given white cit
izen of the District.

that it should go to a representative col

common sense.
With all proper respect for the Rich
mond DiSDGtch and giving due weight to
the value of its opinion, we must reiter-
ate our belief that the statement Of the
authorized agents Of the council Of for
eign bOndhOlders constitute a substantial
propOsitiOn for settlement Of the State
debt That Tie suggestion has been
formally made or in detail is not contend
ed: but surely the declaration OF Mr.
Rovall that his clients would be willing
10 accept "a interest the surplus Of annual
revenue remaining after defraying the eX-
penscs OF Government and public schools
furnishes TO the voters and taxpayers of
Virginia the general basis on which the
largest holders OF The cOupOn-bonds
would be willing to adjust their claims.
The proposition is Identical withthe Bar
bour bin Of 1879, which the D&Dltrh then
considered unjust to the public creditor
with the advantage 10 the State that the
principal of the debt has been decreased
by the amount Of old bonds funded into
Riddlebergers. Certainly we cannot
doubt that Mr. Royal had authority for
this declaration or that his clients would

the suggestion.
As to another branch Of the subject on
which the DispatH yehemently insists
the sanctity OF the obligation Of the Dem
ocratic party 10 the Riddlcberger settle
motive must also beg leave respect
fully to express dissent. Public duty,
whether of an individual or a party,
must be measured by circumstance.
Why or how does the edict Of the
Lynchburg convention irreyocably com
nit the Virginia Democracy II this
settlement when the pledges of
five preceding State conventions Of that
party did not irrevOcably pledge it dgaiRSt
that settlement? Since 1888 the courts
have passed upon the readjuster legisla-
ton and pronounce it unconstitutional.
Is the Democracy to continue to wage
war against the solemn decisions Of the
supreme bench of the Federal Govern
ment? The Democracy can afford to
correct a blunder and to remedy wrong.

A New District Ring in Washington.

in the famous "ssfe burglary job," and

drunk Burgundy and eaten terrapin and
canvass-back duck in the pretty club

wards became headquarters for the
Young Mems Christian Association.

pockets of these gentlemen sports was
beautiful to behoid-to the members.

one left on the scene, and it is doubtless he
who has inaugurated the plan that causes
