CLEvELAND's BIRTHDAY.

In turning his filty-hrst year Mr.. Cleve'
land may be congratulated on having &C
complshed more in a very short time
than generally Is achieved in long and
brilliant career.
As we look along the roll Of Presidents
there are not so many as four who In
respect OF courage and wisdom will rank
any higher than the solid Democrat
who was the fgure.head in the great
rescue Of the country in 1884. 1t Is
worth every citizens thoughtful atten-
ton to contemplate this typical Ameri-
can whose character and energy brought
him up to the command of great affairs,
and enabled him 20 acquit himself well.
1t shows that good head, brave heart,
and honest purpose will beat education
and training If energy and earnest ambi-

When Grover Cleveland was inaugu-
rated President of the United States he
was ridiculed by the politicians for his
ignorance of men and public affairs, but
he brought TO bear in his task d cool and
thoughtful capacity, and he mastered
the situation so thoroughly that now at
the end OF three years be is the COM
manding figure in the policy of his party
as well as the respected head OF the gov
eminent.
In the departure from corrupt Repub-
lican methods Mr. Cleveland has shown
himself Democrat Of the soundest prin-
ciples, aud In pointing out the course of
tariff reform he has displayed the wisdom
OF craftsmanship that has the advantage
OF foundation in that common sense
that the wayfsring man can appreciate
Mr.. Cleveland appears to belong TO
that class Of men who mature late but
tower above their fellows suddenly as

senting picture OF unnoticed growth

THE TOMB OF CHARLEMAGNE.

The funeral Of the old Emperor of
Germany impresses all the world witt

character would have been lost.
Long after CEarlemagne had asserted
the logical and natural power OF united
German empire. Charles V. was chosen
by the electors as Emperor OF Germany.
His warlike figure is known in poetry 3s
well as in history as one of the great and
wise monarchs.
How the great destiny Of Germany has
ebbed and flowed, and how it has been
constantly reasserted Is a matter Of inter
es,ing history. Among the great per
sonalities of its history tho dead En-
peror will stand foremost
As the solemn anthem sinks into 81
lencc and the darkness gathers over his
tomb there is ehostly apprehension in
the popular mind of Europe when it is
read in the news of the day, that neither
the new Emperor, nor Bismarck. nor
Won Motke were present.
If they could not he present at their
masters funeral how could they be pres
ent on a battlefield?
And the expectation of the word points
to the son of new Emperor who may
soon wear the imperial crown that stands
alone without the mighty props that have
held up the German Empire.

Judge Dundy IS In an uncomfortable
position. He has said that a strike IS
equivalent to a conspiracy, or words that
mean the same thing, but upon recon-
sideratiOn he determined that If the word
strike" Is only synonymous with an liz
tention OF quitting work and quietly
walking out, there is no judicial authority
TO restrain such action Another fact II
manifest from the recent dispatches.
Chief Arthur has lost the power Of his
conservative influence, and the Brother
hood in different sections is acting on It's
own responsibility.
The reports from different sections are
various, but the trail Of the principle Is
what we call attention to. The engineers
cannot be made to work if they do not
choose, and the corporations cannot be
made to act accordingly to any dictate OF
the Brotherhood of Engineers. The
same principle OF right that applies 10
one applies to the other, only in different
ways.
The engineers have a perfect night to
strike and the company has perfect
right to employ other engineers. But the
question that the public will decide is
whether or not that rich corporation
dealt fairly with its employees and gave
them proper wages. We are inclined to
think that they did not.

A Judge of Omaha yesterday declined
to grant an injunction restraining engi-
neers from quitting work. What he said
upon the subject recalls the advice of the
old Judge to the young judge-always TO
give his decisions without giving bis
reasons. No doubt it would be both uu-
Just and impractcable for The courts TO
attempt to keep men at work who wished
TO quit work, but not for the reasons
given in this case. Such action would
be negotiable" he said, for the reason
that another remedy exists-suits for
breach of contract whenever the terms OF
contract are not CARR d out As We
have often pointed out, this remedy in
labor troubles is entirely ilusory. Ii the

HOME RIGHTS.
Woman In the Household Useful a. Well as
Ornamental.

Woman In the Household Useful a. Well rs
Ornamental.
1t is fair-minded and entirely
reasonable conviction of the distin-
guished author of '',The Battle Hymn of
the Republic" that the woman who is
able to earn from $500 to $4,000 or
$4,000 a year should not be considered
as a pecuniary cipher in the home. The
right sort of woman puts into the home
administration. besides the charm and
affection which are beyond price, an
amount of labor which can be approx
imately estimated in money. If the
household is poor one, she serves it
with every muscle of her body, and
with all the simple skill and wisdom
which she is able to acquire. If it is a
wealthy one, she brings to it aesthetic
taste, economic management, the en-
largement of hospitality. the graces Of
the feminine mind and the feminine
presence.
The progress which women have
made in wage-earning ability brings
with it as a necessary result change
in their social standing and aspect.
They are no longer to be considered as
dependent class. The old view was
that they were supported. The modern
fact is that they support themselves,
and in many instances contribute to the
support of others. The work which
they perform in their own households
is not to be considered as something
which they should be thankful to do in
order to have a roof over their heads
and piece of bread in their mouths.
but rs service which. while elected
through affection. and gloriied by it.
has also monetary value. in the de.
termination of which the husband and
wife should agree. To secure fair ad-
justment of financial relations between
husband and wife the man and woman
contemplating marriage must enter II
as equal sharers In the responsibilities
of their new condition and in the means
by which these responsibilities should
be met. They must have rational views
of the use of money and of the objects
which money should be made to for

PRESERVE THE FORESTS.

bad Results Following the Wholesale De-
struction Of Woodlands.
The protection of our forests is now
regarded by the thoughtful minds as
necessary to the comfort and prosperity
of all who reside in the once we'll
wooded regions, yet the woodlands are
disappearing with rapidity that
brings serious apprehension for the
future The lumbermen and pioneer
settlers destroy annually vast quanti-
ties of forest trees, and the careless
members of camping parties are re-
sponsible for extensive fires, producing
wanton waste that may require half
century of new growth to restore. The
worst results to be apprehended from
the wholesale destruction of large areas
of woodland is not the mere loss of
the lumber supply. but the more disas-
flood over the districts shOrn of trees.
This natural result has been often de-
scribed, and should be we'll understood
by the public, but a brief review of
cause and effect may be given here,
even though it be a thrice-tOld tale.
The value of heavy forests in checking
the progress of wind-storms, lessening
the disastrous effects of severe winters,
and modifying the excessive heat
of midsummer, must be generally
known, but these are only the minor
advantages. The wooded hillsides,
clothed with moss and verdure, receive
and retain a great portion of every
heavy rain-storm, and the waters
are afterward gradually distributed
into the valleys and lowlands.
When deprived of the forests, the hill
sides become barren Of vegetation, and
the summer storm rolls down in a tor
rent, causing widespread destruction;
and this is followed by a drought
scarcely less baneful in effect. A pub
lie park should be set aside in every
State, and wooded sections preserved
in every possible locality. to become in |
future years q literal source of health |
and wealth. It Is q true adage that
+" wanton waste makes woeful want"
