TITS IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE THAT THE
authorities Of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers had any knowledge Of
the criminal dynamite plot against the
Burlington Railroad which several of its
members are accused by Pinkerton de-
tectiyes Of being engaged in. There is no
moro conservative labor organization in the
United States than the Brotherhood. In
no other organization are the officers more
watchful Of the conduct of the members or
more fully determined to uphold law and
order under sall circumstances. The
Brotherhood has always kept down rad
icalism in its own ranks, and has always
opposed it in every other labor organization.
Il has refused to affiliate, cooperate, OF
hold any relations with any other body
that seemed to have any radical tendency,
and has, for this reason, stood aloof from
both the Knights of Labor and the Fedora
tion of Labor 1t has often been berated
on this account, but it has pursued an un-
flinching course in this respect. If the
half dozen OF its members changed with
being concerned in the dynamite conspiracy
are really guilty, il may be taken fol
granted that the Brotherhood, as body,
is in no way cognizant of, or responsible
for, their criminal conduct, and will re
ioice in seeing them brought to punish
ment. The representatives of the Brother
hood have made haste to express theil
adherence of the alleged conspiracy, anC
TO declare that the brotherhood will no
defend its accused members in their trial
but Will leave their case to take its cours
in the courts. The friends of the accused
loudly assert that the PinkeTton detective
''put up job" on them in order to damag
the Brotherhood, and, if so it be ther
ought to be no difficulty in showing th
fact upon the trail The Brotherhood ha
been boycotting the Burlington Railroa
ever since the failure of the strike thre
month ago; but, in doing SO, they CLAIM
that they haYe been careful to keep withi
the lines of legality, to refrain from an
breach of law, and, much more, TO prohibi
even the slightest act of violence unde
any circumstances whatever In view c
the record they have made for themselYe
during many years, due weight must b
given to Chief Arthur's declarations j
this case.-New York Sun.

the duties of their office, as they levied
an assessment to cover the loss of the

same from all policy holders, and hence
they levied second assessment in 1887 OF

THE IRON WORKERS, WHO ARE LOCKED
out are not so foolish as TO blame the tariff
for it, but the blame is put where it belongs
on the miserable greed and sellishness of
the employers who have not justice enough
to give the workmen their fair share of the
benefits, But the day will come when they
will haYe to do it.-Record.
And yet, brother Parker is foolish enough
TO insist that fair, square and intelligent
revision of the present war tariff will be
detrimental to labor. II is so, however,
with nineteenth of the partisan organs to-
day-they would sooner haYe high pro-
tectiYe tariff to benefit corporations than a
reduced tarin with benefits for the over
worked and muchly under-paid. There is
nothing more su2erlatiYely inconsistent.

CIVILIANS IN THE ARMY.
Staff Appointments for Ofhcers Of the
Line.

Although it is in the power Of the President
to fill any or all Of the existing staff vacancies
in the army by civilian appointees, such course
is not generally regarded as probable by officers
here. These places are looked upon as about
the easiest biets that fall to the lot Of an army
man, and always attract innumerable aspirants
The promotion is more rapid, the duties are
So that it has come to be kind of precedent
to reserve such vacancies as rewards for line
officers whose records in the field have made
them and their friends feel that they were
deserving of reward. Hence it is that while
the President may occasionally make civil ap-
pointments to the line, he respects the tradi-
tions of the army by generally disregardIng
the claims OF civilians to staff places.
Yet, remarked an officer the other day,
'there is but little of the prejudice against
civilian appointees in the army by the West
Pointers that is almost universally supposed to
exist. 1t cannot be denied that at one time
the graduates in the army made the life Of q
civil appointee almost unbearable with their
assumptions of superiority. and there was prac-
tically an aristocracy that discountenanced the
introduction of civilians into the posts This
feeling, l am glad to say, has about disap-
peared, and West Point graduate no longer
feels that he is immeasurably superior to all
others. He may, perhaps. feel that way for q
very short time after leaving the academy, but
he soon discovers that such an attitude is un-
popular. At the same time there is a great
prejudice among line men against the appoint
ment OF civilians on the staff, and am glad to
believe that the President is not going to pur-
sue such a course in the present cases"

dhows and dealers under the French flag
seized by other powers be handed over to

THE BOSTON'S BAD LUCK.
Naval Officers DeplOre the Outbreak of
Yellow Jack on the New Vessel.

The cruiser Boston is still in quarantine at
New York, and will probably remain there for
at least ten days or two weeks. No additional
reports ON Capt Ramsay have been received
at the Navy department, but Commodore
Walker, who has just returned from an official
visit to the Brooklyn yard, says that two or
three of the men now sick on board the ship
with yellow fever will probably die. The ship,
he added will be kept in quarantine until the
cases now under treatment have eliminated
and no other cases develop themselves. 1t is
then question of medical procedure as to
the disposition of the vessel. She will first be
thoroughly ycleanedand fumigated, ,buteven then
the danger from the plague will not be eradi-
Gated. Great sorrow is expressed among naval
officers that the fever should have got a hold
upon this new ship. 1t is sometimes impossi-
BILE, they say, to get the germs out
OF the vessel, and when the ship
is thought to be entirely freed from the dis
ease trip into the fever country will develop
the germs and cause an outbreak of the plague.
fever ship is always feared. for no positive
method of fumigation has yet been discovered
that is regarded as reliable 1t is a question,
however whether the germs will find foot
hold in the Boston, for she is a new ship con-
structed for the most part of iron, and with no
rotten or soft wood anywhere in her frame. As
these materials usually furnish the hiding
places for the seeds of the plague, it is hoped
that the Boston will escape the reputation of
being ''fever ship"
