DISPATCHES IN THE BISCUIT.

When Gen. Burnside was in command of
the department of the Ohio he became ac-
quainted with lady living in the town
where be made his headquarters, who prove
to be the wife Of an old friend. Being in
position to furnish her many articles of food
from army stores not easily obteinable by
poor Confederates, the general kept her lar
der well supplied, and she in turn recipro-
Gated by sending him delicacies from her
kitchen. One day she brought to headquar-
tiers a great pile of luscious, hot biscuit
enough for dozen or more hungry men.
After receiving the thanks of the mess she
said, coaxingly: General, why won't you
send one of your orderlies down TO the lines
with some of these biscuits and get them 10
my husband under a flag of truce! They'll be
such q treat to him. You might let me send

uEyTCOS TREATY WITH JAPAN

Notifications OF the new treaty between Japan
and Mexico were yesterday exchanged in Wash
ington by the Ministers of the respective coun-
tries, and the demand of the progressive Asian
Empire for international equality is at last
formally granted by q liberal Western Gov
ernment. The terms OF this convention, the
negotiation Of which was exclusively announced
in THE TRIBUNE, three months ago. relieve
japan, so far as her relations with Mexico are
concerned, from The manifold disabilities i'm
posed BY the great body Of States. Consular
jurisdiction, which has long appeared burden
TO everybody concerned, is definitely renowned
and tha japanese tariff regulations are freed
from yhe intolerable interference prachsed by
the mas otthe treaty Powers. In every detail
Of political and commercial intercourse the
long suffering Oriental nation will enjoy tho
undisputed rights OF an independent land, in
stead OF being hampered by exactions which
retard her development and discredit her
sovereignty Japan's title to exemption from
these hardships is candidly admitted by the
majority of those who have dealings with her,
and public opinion in the United States has
plainly declared itself In favor Of her complete
enfrauchisemont but although more than one
Administration at Washington has consented to
the enactment Of new and equitable treaty,
accident has in each instance prevented the
contamination Of the project.
Americans will undoubtedly find it worth
while 10 examine and consider the advantages
conferred upon Mexico by the compact just
ratified. For the first time the citizens Of q
single Western country are permitted to travel
without restriction throughout Japan, and TO
reside and establish themselves as traders in
all parts Of the Interior instead Of being con-
lined 10 a few settlements upon the coasts They
alone will possess the right to hold land, to CO.
| operate with native capitalists, and TO engage
in enterprises which promise rich returns but

taininc as high usefulness. Between the oeeter
GRADES and the poorer there Is a wide difference
IN value of service. That difference Is more
than auy advance or reduction Of wages ever
proposed or resisted. II a company loses ito
host men by reduction of wages be-
couse those can most easily get places else
where, and retains only the poorer with ne"
men of like grade, it is certain to lose more
in quality Of work than it can gain by decrease
of wages.
This is illustrated by the experience OF many
wears in proRt-sharing which has proved thas
the greater personal interest and carefuIness
thus secured is worth more than difference OF
u ororter in the amount Of wages paid. But
tho strike bands the men together, so that all 60
q, all stay. II the company gains, it keeps rs
many Of its hest men as it wants. II ii loses, 1t
either gets another set possibly as good, or else
retains the old set at the old wages. That is
an experiment with several chances OF proflt'

self the best, who are most sure to command
better wages elsewhere, are likely to be the
Grst TO leave if reduction dissatisties them.
II the working force of other companies is not
bmnd together by the striking system, the road
which pays best will get the best service. The
hest service is likely TO be worth at least n
o,nrter more than the average and service
below the best is likely to be worth quarter
less than the average. The difference is al
ways more than can be gained or lost by any
change in rate Of wages.
Tho idea behind an intelligent refusal to
strike is simply this, that workers have FAR
more power TO defend their own interest II they
act as individuals than they have if they act
AS body the best and the worst together.
That is a revolutionary idea, but it is true.
Its truth is proved by the fact that wages have
advanced more in occupations in which no strike
or organization to promote strikes has existed
than in occupations where the strike has been
the chief weapon and defence Of workers IL
Chief Arthur has given expression to this idea
he has set men thinking, and his word is OF the
sort which will bear fruit.

which have hitherto necessarily been forpioaeh
to aliens. II they should choose TO avail tneI,
selves OF their exclusive privileges they would
have little difficulty in gaining control OF
,Japan's most important commercial interests
The prospect Of Mexican competition will prob
ably not be regarded as Immediately formid-
able. but the preponderating advantages against
which our merchants must contend may in time
affect their interests to serious extent. For
many years Americans have been eagerly await
ing the opening Of the Empire TO general traffic
and it cannot be an agreeable experience to
find themselves supplanted by rivalry from so
unexpected quarter Fortunately, however,
the benefits secured by Mexico can be shared
by any country that is ready to concede the
fair principle of japanese autonomy.

THE STRIKING POLICY UEPRoFTTABLE

Few men have the moral courage said to
have been shown by Chief Arthur, oil the
Locomotive Engineers, at a meeting last week
The reports published may do injustice to him.
as tho meeting was private and tho only &C
counts NAV DO exaggerated for the purpose OF
impar4ng his influence. An election OF chief
Of the brotherhood is approaching and at q
secret meeting at Chicago he was questioned by
O member who approached a reduction OF
wages on several Western roads and wanted 10
know whether the Chief would sanction stiiko.
According TO the report, Chief Arthur answered
that he was opposed TO strikes on general pnn-
cipes, and believed that any strike at this
time would be suicidal, and added: Under
no circumstances Of which | can conceive shall
I ever sanction another strike" reply ut
such a meeting, with no reporter present TO
record the words used, may easily have been
misrepresentcd. But It Is worth while to con-
slider what the declaration means If It was made,
as reported, by the head of one Of the most
important bodies Of skilled labor.
At first blush it looks like abandoning tho
interests Of the workers entirely to the mercy
of employers But those who know the record
and character Of Chief Arthur know that this
cannot have been his meaning. The answer,
il made, disclOses a conviction that the interests
of engineers can be more effectively defended
In some other way than by strikes. That will
seem impossible to many workers, who have
been taught that the strike is their only weapon.
Yet Mr. Arthur is known by reputation to them
all a. a well-informed and remarkably able and
sagacous man, whose leadership has been cx-
ceptonaly successful in promoting tho welfare
of his associates. Therefore, it is the part of
good sense to consider how tho reported dec.
laraton can be justified.
A strike Is simply the concurrent action Of o
body OF men, the best and the worst together.
There arc good men, better men and best men
in every considerable body of employees and it
is equally true that there are bad men and
worse men, Some are not as VOL qualified as
others, or not rs faithful, or not capable Of at.
