The organization of manufacturers to re-
sist the demands of the Knights of Labor is
what might have been expected, and so long
as it rcsists nothing but their unjust de-
mands no exception can be taken to it. The
right of employers to organize is just as clear
as that of employees. The Knights of Labor
have shown how easy it is for organized la
Dor to be led into indefensible assaults up
on the rights of others The conduct of this
association of manufacturers will be watched
with interest as it will tend to show whether
or not it is easier to keep organized capital
within bounds than organized labor.

The Argus comments on the Presidents
message as if it was under the impression
that Mr.. Cleveland was the original discov-
erer of arbitration and the first person to
recommend it as means of settling labor
disputes. And yet there is no doubt but
that the Argus is aware that the establish
ment of permanent board Of arbitration
has been under discussion in the Massachu-
sets Legislature for some weeks past.
While the experiment of a permanent board
is one perhaps worth trying, it is by no
clear that it is so good plan as to allow
employers and employees to select their own
arbitrators 1t seems to US that the decision
Of board selected in the latter way would
be more likely to command the acquies-
cence of both parties than the decision Of a
permanent board appointed by Congress
which will always be exposed to the sus-
picion of being affected by political consider
atoms and, besides, will have oftentimes no
special knowledge of the industry concern
ing which it is called upon to act.

Both sides are claiming the victory, which
shows that both are satisfied with the terms

A correspondent of the New York Times,
writing from Canton, says that native feel
ing there has been aroused to high pitch of
bitterness, that the violent utterances of some
of our pape have been reproduced in the
Chinese press; that foreigners are boycotted,
and even maltreated, with much consequent
suffering; that popular orators are exhorting
the consuls there were constrained to apply
to the authorities for protection and the re-
preston of threatened outbreak against
the foreign residents. The Chinaman must
needs be something more than human if he
did not feel this way after reading the stories
of the outrages perpetrated on his country
men at Rock Springs and Tacoma.

ALittle Too EARLY.

From the Barnesoills (Gd.) Mail.
The editor of the Mail received yester-
day a somewhat emaciated sample of
spring poetry. IL bore evidence OF better
days, and by proper treatment we may he
able 10 have L. standing alone in a few
weeks. The first verse begins,
The Ni-teria vine is laden with flowers
Made sweeter aud brighter by warm April
showers;
While the daisies aud panses, In their modest
retreat,
Gives forth perfume delciously sweet.
Now, to be plain, we don't believe that
the Wisteria vine, so beautifully spoken
OF, is laden with flowers. You might
have imagined so in your wild poetic
frenzy, but a Wisteria vine that would
put forth in the face OF blizzard would
have got a black eye so quick that IL
wouldn't have had time to be sweet.
Oh, no; you have got that idea badly
mixed. Then you have got the daisies
and pansies all strung out in the old
fields and hedge-rOws entirely too soon.
Wait until the ground tbaws, then trot
cut your Wisteria and pansies. Keep
your lutte strung up, and keep your Muse
in a warm room with a big fire and pair
Of blankets ready for the 6rst spring day,
then it will be time enough to paralyze
us. We will take pleasure in publishing
an "Ode to Winter" or = "Bizzard's
Dirge" from your poetic pen, but we can't
give your Wisteria place for some
months yet. Goodbye, and rene mber US

take it with you, and not lose it,"
He then counted out to him the money

morning for Texas, and | have got no
money. | need money 30 bad"
They went ia the direction of the place

Freeman coming from that direction be-
tween sunset and dark, with gun on his

man.

post mortem examination 1t was found
that the child was born alive, and the
facts brought out by the investigation
show that 1t had come to It's death by foul
means. A strip Of cloth was found tied
very tightly around its neck, from which
cause it evidently died. Rose Hardin, a

Cox and Campbell i'm the Same Car
 IErom tha Mashiueton Post.l


 S. S. Cox and Tim Campbell travelled to- gether to New York in the parlor car of the train which left the Baltimore and Potomac depot at four o'clock Thursday. Since Cox was appointed United States minister to Turkey and Campbell was elected to succeed him in the Forty-ninth Congress these two honorable gentlemen have not been as much together. Waggish people have spent the summer in trying to raise enmities between bell that Cox threatened to come home from Turkey and push him out of the Eighth congressional district of New York, and on the other hand they kept Cox en rapport with Tim's defiance. It was by chance and not design that the two states men struck the same train for New York yesterday.
 When they met and saw what was be- fore them Cox looked very unhappy, but Campbell sat down with his heavy over coat on, just sufficiently open to reveal his usual white necktie, an unusual roll of white flannel around his throat and the usual large diamond stud in the white shirt bosom, and seemed supremely indifferent to or unconscious of MT. Cox's presence there. Campbell chattsd and laughed with some friends whom he met in the car, but Cox, not knowing any of his fellow passengers, stood outside on the platform in the cold ap parently musing on his unhappy lot and wondering if he should not wait for the next train He was still standing on the platform with his hands in his trousers pocket, and was faintly whistling doleful tune when the train moved out of the depot. Specta- tors wondered how the two would get along together in that parlor car on the six or sev- en hours journey to New York with only two or three travellers to relieve them of each other.

THR CITIZENS, TICKETS.


 The Republican city convention last even- ing did it's work skillfully and judiciously. Since MT. Trowbridge's letter in which he declined to enter into 8 scramble for the nomination was published the feeling that he should be nominated has steadily grown un- til 1t found it's full expression in the con- vention. The primaries in many of the general desire that he should head the ticket, and during the last few days the opinion that he would make good Mayor has been heard wherever the matter has been talked about. Mir. Trowbridge needs no introduc- ton to the people of New Haven. He is 8 prominent representative of one of the old- est and worthiest families of the town. He is a well educated, clear headed man. He is a thorough and successful business man, and the people of New Haven have reason to be satisfied with their action in choosing busi- ness men for Mayor. In addition to his other qualifications for the office for which he is named, Mir. Trowbridge possesses the important one of thorough knowledge of the way the city business is done and of the city's needs. This knowledge has been gain ed by active participation in the work of the council and the board of aldermen; he being now the respected and efficient president of the latter body. He has through out his term of service in the Court of Com mon Council shown ability, integrity, good judgment and thorough regard for the citys interests in dealing with the various questions that have come up for action. He has been successful in whatever public duties he has undertaken. In private life he is friendly and courteous to all, and has the re- spect of all who know him. If he should be elected he would take pride in duty would be faithfully and fttingly per formed Any citizen can cast his vote for him with the knowledge that he is making good use of his power to vote.
 Mr. Willett, the nominee for City Clerk, has the best of recommendations in the fact that he has served one term to the satisfac- ton of all who have business with the city. He is prompt, polite and efficient. Nothing is to be gained by making change.
 For City Treasurer the convention wisely nominated the present incumbent, MT. Welch, and took the same course in relation to Auditor. MI. Lake has made as good an Auditor as the city has ever had. For City Sheriff the venerable MT. Hollis was renomi- mated. A city ticket without his name on would seem strange.
 The town convention was not very excit- ing affair, most of the present town officers being renominated without opposition. Colonel George M. White was nominated for fourth Selectman, and Lucius B. Hinman for member of the Board of Relief in addi- ton to the two old Republican members. These are both good nominations.
