THE GREAT STRIKE

| 1t has always seemed to US that the
principle upon which labor unions are
! formed and the manner in which they
are conducted are antagOnistic to the
theory of our governmt mt, that the gov
eminent is the people and that each one
of these were created free and equal.
| How does the American idea of a free
government administered by free
people comport with the autocratic pow
err now exercised by Chief Arthur or
Grand Master Workman Powderly?
Whence came their commission to lord
it over Gods free heritage? Ordering
| thousands of men to quit work for the
purpose of autOcratic ACKNOWLEDGEMENT!
We find the matter discussed, senslbly
we think, in the Boston Journal as fol-
lows:
The great strike on the Chicago, Burl.
ington and Quincy Railroad is deplor
able contest, but so far as the facts
which brought It about have come to
/ light the interference with the trade
and commerce of that section has very
! little justification. The death Of one OF
the strikers is 10 be regretted, but he
was an armed man seeking to prevent
an engineer from taking employment
with the road and trrspasser upon
ground which he had been ordered to
quit, The right to leave the employ
ment of a corporation is unquestiOned.
| But when those who are dissatisfied seek
/ TO prevent others from engaging in
work they violate the first principle Of
personal liberty and become disturbe r.
of the public peace. The demands made
by the strikers are so destructive of all
discipline and all ordinary methods
adopted for running railroads chat to
yield to them would be virtually to put
the railroad into the hands of the Broth
erhoOd of Engineers. One of the de
mands made Ia this:
No engineer or fireman shall be sus-
pended or discharged without just and
sufficient cause, and in case an engineer
or fireman believes his suspension or
discharge to have been unjust, he shall
make out written statement of the
facts in the premises and submit it 10

time designate any other engineer or

The little push which has lately been

1.-THE student of the present and OF the
future should be left not to his own
ideas of what he needs. not to the mar
rowing forces of a speciality through
the abuse of the optional system, but he
should be so broadly cultured, and at
the same time so practically informed,
that when he comes out and enters upon
the law, which will narrow him; upon
the pulpit of his sect, which may make
him to some extent bigOt; upon the
journalistic career, which will develop
the partisan upon the medical or scien
tific course, which will absorb his atten
ton andenthusiasm from other pursuits,
the healthful and never ceasing infiu
ence of the broad and general realization
of his universal education will prevent
him from ever becoming completely
narrow or bigoted or partisan or blind,
Chauncey NJ Depew, in the above
which we quoted from a recent address
of his at a college gathering, gives his
idea of what a college education SHOULD
be, and presumably any education for
Young men and women abOYe that OF
the common school. The chief object OF
any such education; in his opinion, is to
broaden the mind and not merely to
help a person to get living. We do
not see why he is not right in this, as IN
all else that he brings his own broad
mind 70 bear on.

The Republican League Button

At the meeting in New York recently,
of the executive committee of the Ma
tional Republican league, a neat cam
paign boutonniere was adopted for the
members of the State league clubs to
wear The boutonnere is of white
enamel and about the size of dime. 1t
is set in gold with the letters r. l., U.
S" Republican League Of the United
States in gilt across its face. Secreta-
ry Forbes of our State league brought
home with him from New York sam
pie of the button. President Foster Of
the National league has ordered large
number of these buttons made, and
members of the clubs in Vermont who
desire to procure boutonniere will be
supplied through Secretary c S. Forbes
st. Adams, VT. Secretaries of local Re.
publican clubs are requested to order
the buttons wanted by members of their
respective organic atoms. The button is
an elegant affair, and the price, 2j cent?.

The conviction of Stain and Cromwell
atBangor assures the just punishment of
two dangerous criminals for a brutal
crime, and it does more than that. 1t
lifts cloud which IN the belief of even
many candid and intelligent people, has
long obscured the memory of an upright
and faithful man. Just as completely
as their guilt is fastened on the two
wretched prisoners is the fidelity of
Cashier Barron proved. 1t is long de-
Iayed but unQuestioned vindicatOn, and
it must put an end at once to all the I'M
worthy gossip and more serious and
sometimes sincerely accepted allegations
to which the dead man has been for
years a victim. From the very begin
ming, as the Boston journal, from which
we quote, has maintained, the theory
that Mr.. Barron committed suicide to
escape the penalty of wrong dong ap
peared untenable and absurd. There
was nothing in his mode of life to give
color to the theory; there was little in
the circumstances of his death. Yet
there have been fair. minded men and
women who have either actually believ-
ed that the Cashier ended a dishonest

ers owe it TO their Christian faith and
the Cashiers memory to accept the
iury's verdict as true and right one as
human tribunals ever render. ll!-bal-
anced, envious or malignant persons, if
there be such, who have lightly gOssiped
about Barron's reputation or purposely
tradnced il, have an awful punishment
in the thought that they did him an in
Justice aud that their friend and neigh
bOrs know it. One of the most eXrraOr-
binary cases known IN the annals of
New England courts closes in this de-
Iayed revealing of the Dexter mystery.
Its solemn lesson seems to be. like that
of so many other famous trials, that
though Justice lags with leaden feet she
is absolutely sure to come-brlngIng in
this instance to the two guilty murder

and certainty of proper punishment,
and to the memory of brave and faith

friends a full release from a crushing
weight of doubt and calumny. No tic-
tion ever dreamed was stranger than
this story of the Cashier of the Dexter
bank here in commonplace and practi-
cal New England.
