THE % STRIKE.

The Men at Salisbury Again Vote for Con
tinuance of the Warfare-Similar ActIen
at Other Points.
GALEsBURG, IIl.-The Burlington str1k-
ers, in compliance with instructions from
their grand officers, voted on the question
of continuing the strike. All but three
voted for such continuance. The same
action was taken in the other lodges of
the Burlington system and word from
Creston. Denver, Burlington and other
points indicates that the action generally
was for continuance. The reason given
for this vote is that the three months
during which, according to the constitu-
ton, the Brotherhood could pay wages
to the strikers have expired and the grand
officers wanted to learn the sentiment of
the strikers themselves on the question
Of continuance before devising means
for the financial support of the strikers.
It is thought here that the support will
come from the assessment levied on the
Brotherhood nen throughout the
country.

PROFII-SHARING.

If it Is decreed that Moses is to arise
in this generation who shall lead the host
of wage-workers out of bondage to free
dom and happiness, how shall we know
shat his word will not be proft-sharing
Nearly all the isms with which this coun-
try has been cursed come from out New
England, but i may be this time bless

happy working of profit sharing cooper

er cited by the Chicago News. "a little
ever a year ago he announced the adop-
ton of a plan whereby his employees, be
sides their regular salaries, should receive
share in the monthly gross receipts in
form of percentages on sales. In eleven
months these dividends amounted to
$50, sc. On the 18th of May last, the
firm made its annual distribution, at
which $4,000 was placed in a pension
fund and S4O,271 was distributed among
employees who had heen liz the firms en-

Mr.. Wanamaker remarked, might have
been put into the credit Of the finn in
bank. But, as he said, it was capital in
vested in the comfort, respect, intelligence
and interest of his employees" The
trouble is that all enterprises in which
capital is invested and labor employ ed
are not renumerative. Capital can wait.
The huger of the laboring man cannot.
No doubt there are hundreds of cases in
which capital would be glad to enter into
an arrangement with those whom they
employ by which everything over GER
tain amount for interest, if, indeed, any
thing remained, should be divided. De
J4esseps for instance, would be delighted

IN GENERAL
NO REST FOR BISMARCK.

The Empress Keeps the Poor Old Man in
iOt WatCr-She Has to Surrender.
BEREIN ,.-The relations between
the empress and Prince Bismarck
are again strained. Before the chancel-
lor went to Yarzin, the empress sub
mitted to the emperor the names of sew
eral court officials on whom she de-
sired to have conferred distinguished
orders. Prince Bismarck protested and
the whole ministry signed paper stat
ing, that if the orders were conferred
they would resign. The empress then
withdrew the names. The feeling of bit
terness between the court and Bismarck
partisans is intensified. The chancellor
will return to Berlin at the end of next
wefs. The situation is too critical to
permit of further rest for him.

Some Underground Wonders.

At Zirknitz, IL the Austrian Alps, there
is an intermittent lake that is q BASH
which at one season OF the year Is filed
with water, at another is dried up and
cultivated by the farmers of the noighbor-
hood. TIE imperial forester has just
examined the construction of that basin,
and found in one part of 1t an immense
cave called KailoVca, which, when the
surface Of the water in the basin has
reached a certain height, begins sucking
up the water until the basin Is empty.
This cave leads to long series of under
ground lakes, all CONF cited with one an
other by continuous current. The
forester navigate the first five of them.
Immense fields of sand and gravel acc1m-
ulate and alternately stop the current or
are carried off by it. The roof of the
caves in which this system of waters is
located 1T many places comes down very
low, almost touching the water, and in
such places the moving gravel beds fire.
quently close the passage and cause che
waters to rise in tho higher cave. The
forester, with three companions, was IN
one of the lakes when the entrance was
suddenly closed by mass of rubbish
tum bling down from the roof. For more
than eight hours they worked as hard as
they could until they succeeded in open
ing a passage by the side of the main
entrance, which was happily still found
dry, and they were enable to reach the
surface unframed. But their boats and
tools were left behind. and will be recoy-
cred again after the water shall nave sub
sided.

SATURDAY, May 26.

House-The house went into committee
of the whole on legislative, executive ana
judicial appropriation bill. The amend
ment offered by Mr.. McComas of Mary
land, increasing clerical force of service
commission was advocated by Mr.. Tracy,
of New York, who said that IN increase
would enable the president to extend the
classified list. The president had been
criticised for having made an extension.
After much debate Mr.. Grain of Texas,
raised point of order against the apPro-
priation of $4,000 for the salary of the
first auditor of the treasury. He quoted
from the statute a law fixing the salary
of this official at $4,000 and denounced
the practice of cutting down salaries on
appropriation bills. The point of order
was sustained and the appropriation ruled
out. Pending further action the COM
mittee rose and the house adjourned.

GRoUNDLESS FEARS.

Since the election some people have
expressed appreh ension that with the
Inauguration of General Harrison there
will come return to Utah of the days
of official outrages and terror which
characterized the final years of Repub-
lican rule in this Territory. There is a
feeling of fear that Judge Zane, At
torney Dickson, and others of the
heartless crew will be returned to office,
when they will celebrate their triumph
by pursuing course more cruel and
savage than that which they before fol-
lowed.
To these timid people THE HERALD
can give the assurance that the days OF
terrorizing have come to an end. There
will be no more of them, whoever may
occupy the White House, or whether
Democrats or Republicans shall admin
lister the laws. Oppression has had its
day in this Territory, and it will not
have another. The laws will continue
to be enforced, as they have been under
Democratic rule, ana with no more Sc
verify and no less leniency. The man
who does not violate the statutes will
not be disturbed, and the man who does
break the law may expect to suffer the
consequences.
AS to the return to Office of the pro-
nounced enemies to Utah, there is no
more likelihood of such thing occur
ring than there is that the present in
cumbents will serve their four year
terms Mr.. Arthur did not hold on to
Mr.. Hayes appoir tees, and General
Harrison is not likely to go back to
Arthur's officials. The President, as
has been the case with every other
President, will have his own friends to
provide for, and be surrounded by
advisers who will look out for
their own. and not for some
body else'srelatives and supporters.
There is just one thing which the
local community may have reason to
fear, and that is that General Harrison
will do as his predecess ors have not done
and fill the Federal offices by the ap-
pointment of Territorial citizens. II he
were to do that, the people would have
great cause to regret his election, for
there are no local citizens qualified for
the several offices who could possibly
get them, but would be Objectionable
and oppressive.
But THE HERALD is without the least
apprehension as to the future. Matters
can never be made as bad as they were
few years ago, and we can see no rea-
son why they should not continue to
improve, even under Republican rnle.

ARIZONA HAs done herself proud in
re-electing her Democratic Delegate to
Congress, Mark Smith, but the other
Territories seem to have gone mai.
Washington fairly buries young Voor-
hees, who has served her twice, and
elected aEepublican. Montana follows
suit, replacing Democrat by Repub-
Iican, and By majority which is sug-
gestive of popular lunacy up there.
Idaho hangs fast to her carpet bag Re-
publican, aud Wyoming has done so
little for her democratic nominee that
it is doubtful if he will think it worth
while to attend the Official canvass of
the votes. No news haseome from New
Mexico, but nobody Will be disap-
pointed to Iea1n that the voters over
there also caught the infection and
"went" Republican. This was not only
an "ot," but an extremely "ornery"
wear.

weeks popular vote in two States, and
one of the two Rust be New York. The
other can be any State in the Union.
Provided there is no new Congressional
appointment before 1892, we assume
that the next Electoral College will con-
tain Alb votes, majority being 207. To
obtain that majority the Democrats
will have to hold their own and get 49,.
ITO a less earnest, less progressive
party than the Democratic, the outlook
would be dscouraging in the extreme !;
but the Democrats know they are right,
and they have such faith in the intelli-
gence of the people, that they will go
into the battle full of confidence III their
ability to win. They will preach and
teach their grand principles, and will
expect that on election day four years
hence enough voters will have been
convinced to reverse last Tuesday s
sad verdict, and return the government
to the people who have thoughtlessly
voted it away.

WORK AHEAD,

1t is big fight which the Democrats
of the nation have before them, and
they can afford to lose no time or
neglect no effort in preparing for the
contest. They start in with majority
against them in the Electoral College of
65. In less than two years a general
census will be taken, and the Congress
which shall be chosen in November,
1890, will make the r3aportic nment of
the Congressional representation. There
is very strong sentiment against
any increase in the number of
Representatives the people being
of the correct opinion that the
National House of Representa-
tiVes is so large now that it IS unwieldy,
and delays ra'her than facilitates
legislation. This consideration, how
ever, will not be taken into account if
the census shall show. as it rndouot-
eddy Will, that the population increase
has been greater in Republican than in
Democratic States II there is Repub-
lican majority in the Fifty-Second Con.
gress the number Of Representatives
will be increased, and the increase will
naturally fall to the Northern and West
ern States, where the Republicans hav,
control. 1t will be an easy mat
ter to so apportion the represen-
tation as to materially increase the Re
-
But suppose the apportionment should
be left as it is, the Democrats will still
be kept at disadvantage. We don't
bslieve anybody will dispute the propo-
sit;on that the Congress chosen las
Tuesday will create st least three new
States, from Southern Dakota, Montana
and Washington Territories. The Re
publican party is already com mitted to
the admission to the Union of the first
named, and the other two having
shown in the recent election that
they are overwhelmingly Republican
in politics, as q matter OF course they
also will be admitted. The population |
of DakotS will be sufficient by the time
1t shall be taken into the family OF |
States to entitle it to three Represent
atives, which will give it five votes in
the Electoral College. Waskingt on
will certainly be given two Represent
atives and four electoral votes and
Montana will go in with one Represent
alive and three electoral votss.
Thus, the Republican party will
enter the contest of four years hence
with all its prestige in the old States, and
Twelve new votes, for it would be idle
Tor the Democrats to even hope to carry
ona of the new States against the
party which created it. Those twelve
added to the IS majority in the present
college, would make q surplus of II
1r, putting it in another way, the Dem

he electoral votes and Democrats a

or inspiring. 1t means hard
