1t is said the President was about to send a
message to Congress recommending the pas
sage of measure looking to the settlement
of labor disputes by arbitration when the
announcement came that the Missouri Pacific
strike was ended. The message, however,
would seem to be just as appropriate now as
ever. We have not seen the last of strikes

Mr. Powderly has shown himself to be
good man to tie to. His conduct during the
Missouri Pacific strike shows that he pos
sesses a good many of the qualities needed in
a successful leader He seems likely to ex-
tricate the Knights from very bad predica-
ment, the result of the hot headed blunder-
ing of his st. Louis subordinates, and to save
them from the odium of defeat which was

his scheme for the government of Ireland

measure will be separate scheme to be
brought forward later. 1t is impossible to
predict the fate of either measure. Mr..

The friends of the Blair educational bill
in the House have managed to rescue it from
the oblivion which awaited it in the educa-
tional committee, by sending it to the COM
mittee on labor, which. is understood to be
friendly to it. The vote on the reference
does not necessarily indicate that the bill
will have majority when the question of its
passage comes. Mr. Dingley, who voted to
refer it to the labor committee, intimates
that he will not vote for the bill unless it is
amended in number of particulars, and
there are probably others of his way of
thinking. The measure is one of doubtful
expediency. While its aims are commenda-
BILE it is by no means certain that the meas
ure will accomplish them.

The Democratic postmaster of Kansas
City regards the civil service rules as OBJ
structive, and has been ignoring them and
making vacancies and filling them with good
Democrats without going through the little
formalities of examination. Chief ExamineEI
Lyman, now nominated for commissioner,
interfered in the postmaster's program and
ordered his appointees to be examined. The
result is that they haven't turned out well
and are likely to be dropped. Meantime,
their pay is suspended and the whole bust
ness is in a disgusting condition as viewed
from the standpoint of patriotic Democrat.

This is the way Sir Edward Sullivan sum
marizes the effect of free trade in England in
the London Post:
The wealth of a country is the value of what it
produces-as the values expand her wealth in
creases as the values shrink her wealth dimin-
ishes every year the value of what England pro-
duces shrinks a Vue d'0u. If the shrinkage in
values and in earnings now visible in the country
was partial, if twas only transfer OF national
nifty SO much but it is not transfer at all it is
shrinkage; no one is getting richer every one is
neigh6ors but alas many will suffer by it. If A
was ruined and was enriched, we should mourn
with A and rejoice with B but now both A and
B are ruined, and we mourn with both alike.
1t is good proposition for the protection
list to stick to-that the destruction of pro-
duction is not transfer but shrinkage.

RHIGI.

A short sale ON Lake Lucerne landed us
at Arth, where we took the mountain rail-
way to ascend Rhigi Although Rhigi stands
a thousand feet higher than Mt. Washington
it is green to the top, and has various settle
ments along its side. Such rides are not en-
ioyable, as the bare possibility of an acci-
dent takes away the pleasure of looking
down the precipitous heights. We concluded
we would forego the pleasure of climbing
mountains, unless we could rely upon our
own feet or a good donkey, when a few
weeks later we read of twenty-five travellers
being hurled into the chasm, when a cog
broke and car leaped from the track. As
we stood upon the brow of the mountain
half of our horizon on the easterly side was
hemmed in by the Bernese Alps; the wester-
ly side is wide stretch of hills, lakes and
villages We watched the setting sun battle
the snow crested hillsin golden light, which
slowly waxed into crimson blaze. As soon
as the light had faded we sought our beds, as
we were to be called at sunrise, and expected
but little rest; but in this land the sun does
not show himself very early as he has to
surmount the Alpine range before he can
wake the sleepers. We had a good nights
rest, and just as we awoke to consciousness
and fright lest we had over slept and lost
the grand spectacle, the Shrill voice OF
horn broke the morning stiffness. Half asleep
and half cross we tumbled to the floor and
scrambled for shoes and stockings, and any
kind of habiliments at hand, because the sun
would not tarry for laggards. You would
have laughed to have seen the yawning stu
pid crowd of people, some in curl papers,
some wigless, their nightgowns peeping out
of their overcoat collars, the women all in
sorry deshabille, and the men slipshod and
slovernly. Nearly two hundred of such
seedy characters struggled up the height to
welcome the King of Day as he assembled his
Alpine Throne We shivered and gaped for
full half hour, and thought after all, we
did not care sou to see the old sun rise; and
sure enough, it was only few of the patient
watchers who did see the dawn; for the glo-
rious orb sprang into view with such a
bound, letting over the whole landscape a
flood of light, that there was no mystery or
enchantment in the scene. We do not want
to be accused of blowing the American trum-
pet all the time and we know full well we
all are open to the charge Of full share OF
"brag;" but truly this sunrise does not COM
pare with the impressive effects of the break
of day on Mt Washington or Mt. Pleasant.
The lofty mountains entirely keep off the
rays of the sun long after he has risen above
the horizon of the low lands; and when ne
does appear over the SUBMITS he is far up IN
The sky, and there is nothing unusual In the
appearance of the world. The great charm
OF the morning was few minutes before we
saw his radiant majesty, when soft, rosy hues
flashed across the brow of Jungfrau, then
slowly crept over the whole of the Bernese
Alps. There were none of the weird and
misty effects that we remember in standing
as it were above the whole world and in the
very clouds themselves on Mt. Pleasant, and

thermometer has ranged from 16 to % degrees
below zero at many points. Snow fell in the
city of Mexico on the morning of the 9Th inst,

her neck, inficting a fatal wound. When ar
rested she expressed her regret that she had

holders just because they are identified
with the country and because they are
responsible. He might just as well
have tried to arouse the prejudices Of
the poor by saying that poor man would
not be allowed to go on a bond because
amonetary consideration was required.
Major Gibbs wound up by saying that
the moral feature of the matter was the
chief one; take that out and only an
empty shell would be left. Strange to
say, he argued that the way to keep up
the morals Of county was to have an
open saloon, and just let every man go
openly and above board and take his
drink and not hide behind the doors
or drink before his wife and children at
home.
Major Gibbs effort was the first one
| have ever heard on the saloon side and
| was more than ever convinced of the
truth of the assertion of a prominent
eolored politician in our city when asked
to get up at a Temperance meeting and
make an argument on the other side:
OH said he, there is but one ar
gument on our side and that's drink.

TO THE COLORED PEOPLE.

Colored men of Kinds County, it is
with you that the whisky men expect
to carry this election.
And they expect to work upon your
passions and fears with all sorts of un-
blushing lies, and they rely upon thus
voting you like sheep against the better
class, both white and black. Against
your own ministers; against your own
teachers, against your religion, and
against your God.
They have already circulated bare and
shirtless falsehoods to you-falsehoods
that would have made Eli Perkins blush
and Satan choke; but they have scarce
begun
When they say this is a political
question they make any of their
black and startling assertions-ask them
for proof and they can't give it.
Colored men, we ask you to use your
reason in this matter, and not allow
these whisky men to blind you with hate
and foolish fears and make tools Of you.
Will you follow the advice of all your
great leaders; of Blaine, Sherman and
Edmunds, who all tell you to vote
against these doggeries, if you ever hope
to lift up your race?
Will you follow the teachings of the
bible and the word of God you have
worshipped, and vote down the iniquity
of the liquor traffic?
VIII you follow the prayer and en-
treaty of the grandest and ablest colored
man that ever ived-Fred Douglass
who SO strongly urged his race to get rid
of this God d-accursed infamy-the whisky
shop?
Will you believe that all the white
men in whom you have confidence, and
who are not directly interested in the
evil trade, tell you and vote against that
which is debauching both white and
black?
Will you believe what all your great
preachers tell you, that is to the interest
of all who do not love riot, crime and
blood, to vote againstthe whisky dog
gerry?
Or will you believe the fimsy stuff
that the saloon keeper whose living de-
pends on this hellish traffic and the
lessee of the Penitentiary, who wants
more of you in their walls and know that
whisky got most of the convicts they
now have, and if sold will get many
more of you?
Choose this day which side you will
take. Look at it calmly and thought
fully, and decide which one you will
believe.-New Mississippian.

An APPEAL TO THE LADIES OF
JACKSON.

And in all the State of Mississippi
there was but one town where great
majority of the ladies did not turn out
and work against the great evil of the
liquor traffic. And that place-God
help us-is our Capital-DaiLy Neac
Mississippidn
| appeal to the ladies of jackson to
repel by their actions this charge. Sure
ly in this city there is a majority Of
Christians among the women. Surely
that majority is in favor ofTemperance,
and opposed to the open saloon. Doubt
less. they have thought that favoring
Temperance and in secret praying for it
was their whole duty; but the time has
come for action on the part the ladies.
Men are largely influenced by their lady
friends. The present contest is between
the home and the saloon; on which side
will the ladies of Jackson cast their in
fuence?
By the love you bear father, husband,
son, brother, friend or lover, let me urge
you, ladies Of Jackson to come out and
cast your influence for God, and Home
and Native Land T.
