No strike can succeed or gain a point by vio-
lence The strikers will best serve their own in

and orderly methods No other can succeed or
will be countenanced by law abiding people

WE expected the liquor question to break out
in Indiana about this time. The Democratic
need agitation to divert public attention, and
nothing comes as easy and goes so far as an old
fashioned row about the sale of intoxicants.

WHAT Iowa prohibition papers must do be-
to use what law they have. But that is good
deal slower and harder work than getting
stronger laws passed. 1t is less popular, but ID
pays better.-Sprinsfeld Republican.
THE right to work for whom, and at what
wages, and how, when and where he pleases.
must be enjoyed by everybody in this country.
Any effort to make that right dependent on
membership in any society of whatever kind Is
sort of Know-nothingism which will not do.
New York Sun.
THE people at large are no doubt sympathizers
with the wage workers rather than with the CAPT
talsts, but once their pocket nerve is touched
their sympathies invariably follow their inter-
ests. and against this force. which is peremptory
and unyielding, strike expect to make
much Roadway. National Republican.
CATER ALL wrote George Eliot 'our senti-
ments and emotions are the best parts OF our
lives" And it is because Gladstone and Morley
having taken balance of mere material and
political forces--have thrown into the scales the
deathless sentiment OF a gallant race that their
memories will require no monuments.

If conspiracy and riot are to be authorized,
there is no reason why an invidious distinction
should be kept up against other forms of crime.
and by associating with themselves all the
friends of crime and declaring boycott of the
whole penal code the persons interested ia
abolishing penalties for conspiracy will greatly
increase their numerical strength and the
consequent pressure that they will be able to
bring to bear upon the Legislature. -New York
Times.
POVERTY and toilers have our warmest symE
pathy. We rejoice at their success whenever
"
ton. But in order to elevate the toilers to OBJ
tain their proper position and do something
more than earn their daily bread they must
have the sympathy, the judgment and the sense
of justice of the American people. And the
American people are, above all. the stout cham
pions Of liberty, equality, law and order.-New
York World.
The widows and orphans of confederate SOL
diers manage to live without help from any quar-
ter. II they can exist in the most impoverished
section of the country without outside assistance.
certainly the widows and orphans of the men
who fought for the Union should be able to live
without help in land flowing with milk and
honey. Keep the telegraph operators out of the
treasury, cut down the pension list guard the
treasury against the demands of the beggars
who are as thick as the locusts were in Egypt

IT is not enough to say that people will not
fight against their own interests. In masses
they have done it times without number When
1000 men on the Gould roads strike because one
man on the Texas Pacific road has been dis
charged; when switchmen at East ST. Louis and
Chicago, and carmen ut New York, had rather
have no work than to work in The company of
men who do not belong to their union it Is not
too early to consider the nature Of and the pos
sibilities involved in, an epidemic of labor mad
ness.-New York Mail and Express
JUDGE PARDEE is right. unless q striking
workman may legally destroy property and take
the lives OF other workmen in order to prevent
any one from working in his stead. Do the
strikers realize that they have, for the first
time, asserted their right to violate law when
they pleased Or are they growing Indifferent
to public opinion, and ready to defy that as we'll
the law2 Surely they do not really imagine
that the dictation of 500, 600 men will set aside
the laws by which the liberties of I8, OOO, 600
workers are protected.-New York Tribune.
THAT next STEP we have no hesitation in say
ing, should be-not license law, whether high
or low-but discriminating tax on every estab-
lishment where either malt or distilled liquors
are sold, exceptionally light on the sale of malt
liquors alone. and exceptionally heavy on dis
titled liquors. We should be perfectly willing to
couple with this a localoption bill, under which
rural communities, where the majority really
prefer prohibition and have such a sentiment
with them in the community that they can en-
force it, may have a chance to do so.-New York
Tribune
