The Boston Herald is beginning to show
signs of having two strings to its bow.
In its editorial columns it thinks that on the
highest estimate of the result in Maine
the Republicans have simply ''held their
own" The Herald in its news columns
says:
it is the most important victory won by the
Republicans since the war. The result has
surprised even the most sanguine Republ-
Democrats are greatly disappointed, for they
were not prepared TO meet with such a
crushing defeat.

A Wild West Chiefta;n.

Red Shirt, Cody says, is the best Indian he ever had anything to do with. He is high minded, honorable, and particularly tract able and affectionate. He is always cool and very quiet, yet he is a very rigid discipl1na- rian. He has killed at six different times men of his tribe in the west who refused to obey him. Last summer one of the Indians caused the police great deal of annoyance by cross ing the bridge over to the American exhibi- tion side for the purpose of talking with some of the bazar girls. Repeated fines would not check him. He was fined so much that his pay for the season was down to about a pound. Then Red Shirt was appealed to to use his authority. Red Shirt. walked up to the disobedient Indian, and without raising his voice at all he said in his smiling, gentle way: "You are bad Indian. You have been requested by Col. Cody and myself to not cross this bridge. Now have come to tell you ono thing. If you ever cross that bridge again without permission will kill you" With this Red Shirt stalked away From that day forward this bad Indian never even went near the end of the bridge. London Letter.

Mrs. Crawford writes: "I may mention that some days ago was shown the bullet of the new Lebel gun. There can be no harm in describing it's appearance, since in the event of a war these missiles would be the first thing to fall, or rather to fly, into the enemys hands. Besides, the Germans are known to have stolen Q few at Belfort. In shape it is conical, but the tip is slightly flat tened. It is trife under one-third of an inch in diameter and somewhat over one inch in length. The bullet is made of a shell of German silver, about one-twen- tieth of an inch in thickness, filled in with an alloy of lead hardened with antimony. ."- Paris Cor. London Newa

"An ye who seek the golden cline, Go, mount with Death his caravanf So sang of old the rhythmic clan, The ba.rds whose numbers rang sublime An, now, methinks, some truer chime Must charm us through life's little span; Once more we'll read thy lofty rhyme, O wise, O true, Aldebaran! Full well we learn'd, and long ago, Thy truth that from eternity What hath endured that still shall be, And that alone-'tis even so!

EDWARD MCGLYNN-ex-Doc of Divin- ity and ordained priest of the Roman Catholic Church-will, we suppose, give up the prefix of ''Rev" and the affix of ''D. D." Having forfeited the business he should take down the sign-board; and as he repu- diates Roman Authority. He should, to be consistent, repudiate all titular distinction conferred by Catholic institutions. But what matters it to him; he is now in all his glory; he has won the favor of the antag- onists of thdFaith he'professed, by finging filth on it's highest earthly guardians; he has earned renown for himself in the cir cles of the foe by an indecent abjuration of allegiance to the great sovereignty of the Church that had protected and promoted him. At conference of Baptist clergy men, held in New York yesterday MT Mc- Glynn's discourse of Sunday night was un- der discussion. One of the speakers said: "Why, Dr McGlynn is as good Protestant as Luther was-Luther never went farther than Dr McGlynn did on Sunday night and then committee was appointed to in vite the new Luther to speak to them on the subject of ''The Relation of Romanisr to our Free Institutions" There is one compliment remaining for MT McGlynn to pay to the Church of his early love-we say it with personal pain-and that is to stay out of Romanism and cling to the free institutions as he understands them.

LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.

The Pennsylvania strikes are suggestive of solemn thought, on the power, or the assumption of power and the motives of professedly in the interest of Labor. The various Trades Unions of the country banded as the American Fed eration of Labor, held last month their second annual session in the City of Balti- more. Although the present form of the organization was given to it at Columbus, Ohio, last year, it is in reality as we are reminded by the "Record" of Philadel- phia, the successor of the old Federation of organized Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada. It was the Federation of Labor that last Spring set on foot the eight hour movement, the failure of which has been attributed by many of it's members to the opposition or at least the indifference of the Knights of Labor; and the complications at present in the Coal fields of the Keystone State are attributed to like conflict in opinion and authority. At any rate there has sprung up between the two organizations . strong rivalry which is not calculated to promote the interests of either. A pointed manifestation of this hostile spirit was wit messed at Baltimore when two Knights of Labor were refused admission as delegates. The President of the Federation made a conciliatory report and this rejection was it's inconsistent accompaniment.
 
 But, perhaps, the most noted cause of the want of harmony and good will between these two great bodies of workingmen lies in the essential difference in the principles of their organization. In the Federation of Labor the several trades regulate thei1 own internal affairs as they deem best without dictation or interference from the members of the organization. Thus in all matters relating to wages and strikes or any question concerning themselve alone, the trades are elf-governing and in dependent of each other. To this princi pie the Federation of Labor unquestiona bly owes much of it's vigor- and prosperity While the aim of Federation is to dimin ish as much as possible the frequency ant severity of strikes, it seeks to exercise a great pressure as can be upon the em ployes of Labor by the moral power of it numbers and discipline. Although strike have not ceased and are not likely soon t cease, even in the trades and callings be longing to the Federation of Labor, ther is no doubt that it's influence has don oeIween &ork1ngmef anu ttfe1f e1fp1oyeaa When the clouds at present hanging owe the Labor affairs in Pennsylvania sha have cleared away we may be in positio to estimate how far the constituted organ cations of leadership have contributed t promote or endeavored to prevent tn complications that. have caused so muc suffering without any realization of the e1 pected successes.

WE have been disappointed but are not at the outcome of Hospital Sunday. There was some misunderstand- ing on the subject and then the time of no tice was short. We do not ettach much importance to the excuse about inclemcncy of weather keeping the people from Church. The weather was not so very bad-not bad enough at any rate to keep devout people from Divine Service, and surely it cannot be that the demands of 8 great charity were a deterrent to Church going. Many nearly all-the Churches of all denomina- tion will take other opportunity of redeem ing the neglect. The Church of the I'm maculate Conception, without any previ- ous notice, made the best record of the day, and the other Churches of that com 1nunion will, we feel assured, generously follow the example. That was keen sar- casm of contemporary announcing the collection of leading Church as $59.99, and adding there was reason to hope that promised subscriptions would make the sum up to $60. There is hardly room fol joke in matter so serious; but the occa- sion was tempting one. There is as we
 have said, time to make amends in all the | Churches; but there is no time to be lost
 in relieving Waterbury of the reproacf
 that, great and pretentious City as it is, i
 does not possess one of the great institu l "a public hospital.

THERE is suggestive lesson in the bus mess of the opposition to Lamar's confr- nation as Associate Judge of the Supreme Court. They talk of "a party vote' as if there had been no shaking of hands over the bloody chasm, and it were intended to wave that tattered garnent-the bloody shirt-again in our political conflicts The Judiciary Committee of the Senate have decided on this basis against the confrma tion, but the Senate has yet to be heaId from, and there is reason to believe that a more liberal policy will prevail.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-01-11
LABOR IN POLITICS.

In connection with the foregoing article we may state that what most interests the general public in the representative organ izations of workingmen is their attitude In regard to the leading questions of the day. Although President Gompers of the Feder- aJion as an enemy of capital punishment appealed to the Governor of Illinois for clemency to the Chicago Anarchists, he took occasion to declare that he had no sympathy with their cause or methods Indeed, it is altogether unlikely that in Federation of American mechanics and workers the revolutionary principles of So- cialism would find many admirers or advo- cates. It is clear that there is no room in this country for the propagation of the principles and doctrines which so far from promoting the interest of society would lead civilization backward to the barbarian condition from which it arose.
 In regard to current politics the conven- tion at Columbus last year declared very decidedly in favor of independent politi- cal organizations of labor. But the col lapse of Henry Georges movement in New York, and the failure of minor attempts to ssgregate workingmen from the masses of their fellow-cizizens in political questions, have no doubt led to very considerable change of view on this subject. It must be plain to the most ordinary understand ing that class organizations in politics in this country are doomed to miscarriage be- cause of the narrowness of their scope and their hostility to the spirit of true Democ- racy. Upon the great question of the hour placed in such strong relief by President Cleveland's message-it would be utterly impracticable to unite the workingmen and hurl them into othe conflict as compact body. So long as this question shall re- main unsolved all attempts to organize them upon lower political issues will be mere misdirection and waste of energy.
 The American Federation of Labor as well as the rival organization of Knights of La bor, has large and legitimate field of &C., tivity in which much good can be accom- plished; but it's best purposes would be frustrated by converting it into a po- litical faction in the hope of making it an arbiter or balonce of power between the two parties. Left to themselves the work ing classes of the country know where their interests lie. The spacious pretexts of pro- hibitive protection for American industry are being exploded; and men are coming to calculation not only of the nominal amount of wages they receive, but of the positive purchasing power of the money. Our article last evening on "The Party of, Labor" indicated pretty clearly our views
