WASHINGTON, OCTOBER II, 1888.

ARBITRATION DOES NOT always arbi-
trate, but if it is worth trying at all it
would seem to be more advisable as a
preventive of trouble, before il begins,
than as settlement after the trouble
has reached formidable proportions. In
the case of the Chicago s,rcet-railroad
strike, the difficulty might have been
adjusted without any riotous proceedings
or the destruction of dollars worth of
property, had President Yerles asscnted
to an arbitration in the first place. 1t
was not his duty to listen to intimida
ton or be swerved from what he deemed
his duty to his company by menaces Of
violence, but there are occasions when
employers and employees can consult
together to their mutual advantage, and
the sooner this is done when the spirit
of discomfort begins to run high, the
better for all concerned. AS it is, Presi-
dent Yerkes has finally met committee
of the strikers, and it is to be hoped that
their conference will end in an amicable
adjudication of the issue at stake. If so,
it will generally be regretted that steps
had not been taken to the same end
several days ago.
1t occurs to us, however, that Mr..
Yerkes has not received the support from
the city authorities and police force to
which he was entitled. There were in
stances all day Yesterday where the po-
lice seemed to be passive spectators OF
acts of violence on the part of the rioters,
apparently regarding the whole business
as huge joke, if not actually sympa-
thizing with the men.
Against such condition of things---a
mob aided and abetted by the
police, and popular feeling not en-
tirely with him, the President, nc
doubt felt that the odds against him were
disproportionately and unfairly large
and under the circumstances hi
may feel compelled to &C
cept terms that he nigh
not do otherwise. But the dispatche
to-day indicate considerable change o
demeanor on the part of the police. l
begins to be appreciated that without th,
adoption of stern, repressive measures
the emergency may become much NOR
serious than it is.
If the city does its full duty in tn
premises the end can at least be reache
without bloodshed.

MIR. PowDERLY is out in this weeks
Journal of United Labor with an article
on the "Chicago Wheat Corner" in
which he takes vigorous ground against
gambling in food and urges the Knights
of Labor to join in an appeal to Congress
10 legislate this evil out of existence, and
in an appeal 70 the President that he
send message to Congress demanding
that trusts be abolished. 1t is not too
late for the Fiftieth Congress to act in
this matter, but it is very certain that
the present session will not do anything
to "put an end to Hutchinson and his
methods"
As Mr.. Powderly says Congress has
spent nearly year in ''skirmishing for
points on which to carry the next elec.
ton, while the interests of the people
are going to the devil" This is put ting
it in rather strong language, but there
is, unfortunately, too much truth in it.

Mr.. BLAINE addressed a large audience
at Goshen, Ind, in which he made the
direct charge that the five greatest trusts
in this country either controlled or were
controlled by the Democratic party.
These are the salt, whisky, sugar, stand
ard oil and cotton-seed oil trusts. Trusts,
he said, were indigenous to free trade
system. AT the same time they seem to
have done pretty we'll under the egis of
protection; and, unless we are greatly
mistaken, they embrace a very healthy
sprinkling of Republicans in their mem
bership. Still, Mr.. Blaine made some
strong points in his speech that Congress

DON'T EXERCISE TOO MUCH.
Moderate Exercise is Good for Dys-
pepsia but TOO Much is Dangerous.

Moderate Exercise is Good for Dys-
pepsia but Too Much is Dangerous.
From the Neto York Mol and Express
Exercise is one of the best cures for dys-
pepsia known to medical science.
Dyspeptics, on rising in the morning, do
we'll to indulge in a few free gymnastics of
the movement cure species, before putting
on the outer clothes that interfere with free
movements. Ii is curious how closely some
of these exercises come to some of the active
labor einployments which are cure for
many ills. Follow the movements of the
reaper, first with one arm and then the other,
as though swinging a scythe, sinclning the
body inwards from either as the correspond
ing arm makes its splendid swing. This is
IA fiue exercise. as it changes the position Of
certain dorsal and abdominal muscles. To
initiate with clenched fists the movements
of the wood sawyer, or to swing the arm in
ahalf circle upward, while the arms are held
as close to the body as possible, are both
splendid breathing exercise.
The queen of Sweden takes the "house-
maid curen for her ailments, but either man
or woman in their own apartments may go
though the motion of the laundress at her
washtub, always with the clenched fist that
accents the motions of the arms and hands
at the washboard, to great advantage. All
of these movement exercises are good when
the chilliness of autumn days finds people
with lanquid circulation, and it is scarcely
necessary to repeat the suggestion that wise
people get awake slowly. There are uses
for others than children in the half-sleepy
stretching and gradual stirring to your
toilet, as the circulation is not to- suddenly
called upon for activity upon sluggish CON
ditions that sleep has brought.
But while exercise is beneficial when used
in moderation, one should be careful to
avoid too violent or protracted exercise. A
recent case of this in Philadelphia normal
school almost resulted fatally. The victim
is Anna Haig. She is IL years old and
belongs to a class that is assigned two hours
each alternate week for instruction in the
calistheuic department. The girls are all
clad in exercise suits Of flannel, and use
light wooden dumb-bells and wands for
gymnastic purposes. Section three consists
of sixty girls. the majority of whom have
had q years experience in calisthenic exer
clses. The delicate pupils, who include
small proportion of the class, are excused
from physical exercise on the presentation
Of physicians request. On Friday night,
after her exercise i'll the calisthenic depart
msnt, Miss Haig was taken with violent
pains in the neck and head. BY Saturday
the right side of her face was paralyzed.
DR.. Slegler, the family physic an, ascribed
the paralysis TO overindulgence in calisthenic
maneuvers. The young lady has suffered
very much, and Mr.. Haig says that under
no C rcumstances will he allow his daughter
TO resume physical exercise when she shall
return 10 the normal school

THE ALMANAcs SAVED HIM
How a Prisoner Was Helped by a
Record of the Moon.


CHICAGO, Nov. 25-It was the almanac
that saved Edward Donovan from term
at Joliet.
He was tried in Judge Collins court on
the charge of shooting John Anderson at
Hegewlsch on the night of Aug. g. Dono-
van had saloon there and it was closed on
an attachment for debt. Anderson. n
Swede, was made custodian and appointed
to guard the place. The first night he was
there mob surrounded the saloon and fired
through the windows with shotguns and re-
volvers. Anderson was filled with buck
shot, but recovered.
The trial, which lasted three days was
really factional fight between the Irish
and Swedish residents Of Hegewisch. A
host of witnesses swore that Donovan was
one of the men who fired into the saloon.
They were unanimous in the declaration
that it was nice, bright, moonlight night,
and that you could see and identify a man
at considerable distance. On the other
hand, fully as many people swore for the
defense that it was dark night that going
out doors to look for a man was like going
down into a cellar to look for q black cat
that wasn't there
Attorney Daniel Donohue, who defended
Donovan, produced three almanacs, which
were put in evidence. The almanacs were
issued by different patent medicine vendors
and extolled the virtues of widely different
cure-alls, but they agreed that the moon
did not shine on the night of Aug d. and
that, in fact she did not go on duty until
4:30 o'clock the next morning. The jury
was out all last night and stood six for the
almanacs and six for the testimony of the
states witnesses Ill regard to the moon. As
they were unable to agree, Judge Collins
discharged them.
