Senator Edmunds's Test.


Senator Edmunds was evidently out OF
sorts when the card was handed to him. he
glared at it in don't-bother-me kind of way
that made the little page who brought it glad
to escape from his presence. The square
piece OF paper which lay before the Senator
for it could scarcely be called card-bore
the name. willis Howe" The letters
were angular and awkwardly scrawled. 1t
was apparently the work OF boy or half
grown lad.
The Senator arose from bis seat, and cross
ing the corridor entered the marble room
where his visitor awaited him. He found
the latter in conversation with his committee
clerk. what does he want?" queried the
Senator, gruffiy, and. addressing the clerk
"He wants some money to take him home.
He says he lives in Vermont"
What did you say your name was? asked
the Senator, studying the characters on the
card.
willis Howe" was the boys reply.
''But how do know that you live in Yer
mont? You might come from Texas, for all
know"
81 can only assure you that l speak the
truth, Senator. / have no way of proving It,

"Oh, it is, is it?" said the Senator. grimly
Well, I've visited in that place number OF
times suppose you know everybody there
Tae boy replied that the people he didn't
know were not worth knowing.
well, them" said the Senator, tell me
the name of the fat old man who peddles
milk about town."
HE isn't fat and he isn't old" answered
Skinny Eccles."
The faintest sort of smile lit up the Yer
mont Senator's stern features. Turning to
his clerk he said :-"Give him the money
There's no doubling the boys honesty" and
then he added with q chuckle as he turned to
re-enter the Chamber, skinny" Eccles
Well, we'll. haven't thought of him before
in dozen years."

The Miners Strike.

President Corbin of the Reading Company
puts his refusal to arbitrate with the strik-
ing miners on the ground that these men are
not in the employ Of his company. Techni-
cally that may be good ground. But in such
controversies as these neither party can
afford to stand on technicality, least OF all
the employers. 1t must be borne in mind
that the secret of a great part OF the difhcul-
ties between employer and employed is dis
trust Of one other. The laborer is distrust-
full, partly as the result of the teachings OF
demagogues who for their own selfish pur-
pose have tried TO array him against capital.
and partly because capital itself has oc-
casionally been tyrannical and unjust. The
impression prevails very generally, espe-
claly among the less intelligent of them,
that capital is always planning to cheat
them, and that the only way to compel
1t to desist and to do them justice is to take
It by the throat. Before, therefore, the rela-
tions between capital and labor can ever be
what they should be the reciprocal distrust
which now prevails must be dispelled.
When the laborer feels sure that any griev-
ance he may submit to his employer will get
consideration, and if it be genuine, redress,
then there will be few strikes. 1t is obvi-
ously for the interest of both parties to
hasten the coming Of this time. The en-
nloyer is SO situated that he can contribute
more 10 this end than the employed. Of
course he ought not to sacrifice any OF his
substantial rights; he ought not to surren-
der the control of his business to his en-
nloves be ought not to allow them to die

The New York Mail and Express hastens
to declare with the air Of a sage that recent
railroad accidents in New England have
indicated that there is a good deal of ignor-
ance or negligence in railroad management
in that section Of the country, and therefore
that the Eastern corporations had better
change the old rule and go west for superin-
tendents. One case of conspicuous negli-
gence there has been in New England. The
Bussey bridge was unsafe, and was known
to be so. But against this pnt even the
record of the road on which the late terrible
accident happened. For half century the
Boston g. Maine has carried passengers to
and fro between Maine and Massachusetts,
and in all that time there have been but two
serious accidents And previous to the
smashup at Kennebunk there had not been
fatal accident in the passenger service
.Jnce 1851, when one person was killed
Against the charge that New Englanders
cannot manage their own railroads efficiently,
put also the record Of the Maine Central,
which has year after year carried its passen-
gers without a single fatal accident for so
many years that few can tell when there has
been an exception to the general rule. And
in Maine too they run as magnificent and as
fast trains as in the regions about Ashtabula,
Kouts's Station and Chatsworth.

The Chicago post Office, according to the
New York Sun, is in bad way The post
master is inefficient, most Of his subordinates
are inefficient also. and the result is that
there is much dissatisfaction on the part of
Chicago people with the postal facilities
afforded them. and apparently with good
reason. There are but three deliveries
during the day, and business men do not get
the first mail in the morning until half past
ten in the forenoon. 1t takes New York
paper longer to travel two miles in the heart
of Chicago than to travel the whole distance
from New York to that city. Although the
city has increased by 10000 during the year,
not a single addition has been made to the
force of letter carriers, though during this
time so additional carriers were allowed to
Philadelphia. As to New York, SO to Brook
Ign, IS to st. Louis and II to Boston. The
cause is simply negligence on the part Of the
local post officials in not making known to
the department the needs Of the city.

ar-uct of his own business. The Reading
company could lave conceded arbitration to
to the strikers, even though technically they
were not in their employ, without the sacri-

emily President Corbin has conceived it to
be his duty to break up the Knights of
Labor. The way to break up that organiza-
ton is not, however, by refusing to listen to
their reasonable proposals.

The Secretary of the Treasury seems to be
very reluctant to recall his mistaken order
relative to the Maine custom houses. He
has yielded something but not all. Eventu-
ally, however, he will probably come to the
conclusion that Congressman Dingley knows
more about the needs of the Maine custom
houses than his special agent, and fully
restore the service.

Accidents like that at Bradford seem to be
terrible reminders that travelling by rail-
road is very dangerous. But in reality they
serve to illustrate the fact that about the
safest way of getting about is by rail- Walk
ing, even, in this land of snow and ice, prob
ably should not be expected. Last year,
according to statement from a well in
formed source. the Boston & Maine carried
eighteen millions of people with no serious
accidents. Eighteen million rides after the
family horse would probably have produced
more deaths than the Boston g. Maine has
caused among its passengers during the last
forty years.

The Pacific slope wants more anti-Chinese

either party to do something to strengthen

The Rockland Opinion says there may be

of the Knights of Labor, was asked
to-day: "What do you think Of the
railroad troubles in the West?"
"The Burlington engineers are virtu-

have beaten them. Our people have
been getting even with the Brother
hood for its course in the Southwest

"Do you think that their defeat in
this strike will be a fatal blow to the
Brotherhood ?"
''No; this may be good thing for

"THE JULIA,
The southern Pacific socks to
Limit Its Liability.

SAN Francisco, April 3.-The
Southern Pacific company filed a pc
tition in the United States District
Court to-day to limit its liability
growing out OF the explosion of the
steamer Julia, at Vallejo, one month
ago. The petition is filed under Sec
tions 1888 to 1885 of the. Revised
Statutes of the United States, limiting
the liability Of owners. Under this
statute the company asks that all per-
sons be restrained from prosecuting
suit for damages, and offers, as pro
vided by statute, to convey as trustee
all that remains of the burned steamer,
to be applied toward the liquidation
of any claims against the company.
Judge Hoffman made an order ap-
pointing the United States Marshal as
trustee, but did not issue an injunc-
ton to prevent the filing of suits.
The petition cites that thirty lives
were lost by the burning OF the
steamer, and eight other persons were
injured. It is also represented that
the heirs of those killed are about to
institute suits for damages aggregat-
ing more than the steamer was worth.
