The Prahleim af Sirikcs.

This is decidedly an era of disturb
anccs in the business world. Almost
every branch Of industry is affected by
the apparently irreconcilable war which
is being waged between labor and capi-
tai. Strikes among employees have be-
come more numerous than ever before.
The other day even the sacred sanctums
of the big New York newspapers were
invaded by the threatening voice Of the
enraged cmploye. A cable dispatch
from Bennett from Paris put short end
to that difficulty.
This morning a great strike will begin
among the coke workers at Scottdale.
They will number twelve thousand, and
estimating a family Of five to each
workman, there will I've sixty thousand
persons who will have to look elscw here
for their daily bread. This will involve
untold suffering upon innocent women
and children should this strike continue
any length of time.
Ii Is idle to look for the cause Of these
recurring difficulties In such visionary
theories as those of Henry George. With
his single tax and no private right in
land theories he would bring peace and
contentmcnt to disturbed business
world. He is brilliant dreamer. There
will always be just such difficulties be
tween labor and capital. There will
always he moral and political dstur-
Dances in the world. No single life runs
its course smoothly 10 the end. The
best regulated families are at times in
voved in clashes ofindividual wills and
desires. Why should there not be dis
turbances I'm the business world ? Such
conflicts Of labor and capital do not al
ways indicate an unhealthy condition
of affairs. When people no longer
have energy enough to fight for their
rights they are in a sad condition. And
when they no longer differ as to what
these rights are 1t is an equally un.
healthy condition.
The problem in business and trade Is
not to do away with such disturbances
They will always be with IL. The prob
We do not want n Henry George to Civ,

and sensible men who will fairly exam

THERE is no consistency In the position
taken by Lieutenant Governor Davies in
the matters respectively of the senatorial
vacancies III Delaware and in Lancaster
counties. In the one case the seat becomes
empty by resignation aud III the other by
death in both the constituency is without
representation in the upper house of the
general assembly for the time being; in
neither Is any great necessity present TO
fill the place before the time of the next
regular election, there being no extra
legislative session imminent. But Davies
issues writ for Delaware county
and withholds il in Lancaster county
because, he is said to explain, over
there the candidates for Cuoper's shoes
all want the agony over at once, aud
over here no such request has been made.
This will not do. Such a performance by
the president of the Senate is making the
processes of the state the football of Repub-
lican politicians and place hunters. What
would Davies DO for instance, If one candi-
date wanted an election now aud another
preferred To postpone 1t? Suppose that &.
{. kaufman is satisfied he can carry Col
umbia solidly this year and that next year
he may not, will Davies issue the writ Z?
Or suppose tho politicians who are
toying with the internal revenue collector
ship want the senatorial election disposed
of before that appointment is made, will
Davies reconsider? Obviously these are
not the considerations which should govern
state officer in the exercise of a rnanda-
tory duty. Having issued "A writ for Della
ware county the lieutenant governor must
do the same for Lancaster. Besides if he
waits until next year the selection of II
senator in the upper district will be com
plicated with II lot of irrelevant issues such
as the congressional nomination, gubor-
Material delegates and other contentious.
This year there could be clean, straight
fight TO the finish. ON with the dance.

The man who has tried to follow bills
in their meanderings through the legisla-
ture will be fit subject for the insane
asylum ut the close. House bill 900 is
introduced and referred to a committee
where it reposes until perhaps month
later, when it is reported favorably as the
result Of urgent appeals. 1t is printed
and set for debate. and comes up on some
dull day about week later, when amend
ments may change all of it except the
enacting clause. Finally II. B. 900 is
passed and sent to the Council, where it
undergoes the same ordeal. Conference
committees are appointed to consider the
new amendments and at length the bill
goes to the governor, as unlike the orig
inal as the gun which had new lock,
stock and barrel. This is the career of
the lucky bill. Of those that fall by the
wayside the name is legion.

the same time tone up and strengthen the

THE LEGISLATURE. L

This the territorial legislature, has done
we'll, considering that it was born amid
time when party feeling ran high and
that it was the first time the republicans
had acquired large majority in either
house, a circumstance which often makes
lawmakers arrogant and unreasonable.
The bounty registration, the anti-gam-
bling and Australian voting laws are the
principal measures which the Legislature
has passed. All have been signed except
the last-named which awaits the govern
or's approval. These bills have not en-
countered any vexatious opposition from
the democratic members. On the con-
trary when they found the majority will.
ing to accept judicious amendments and
accord fair hearing to every one, they
have given each measure hearty support.
AS the result no republican pharisees can
make campaign capital by claiming that
all virtue lies with themselves. Lib
eral republicans are never likely to make
that mistake for they know better. Gov
Los1,.' sounded ti.e AoinoUo of 20
form in his message which advocated the
very measures that the republicans have
adopted as their own. The democratic
members acted in accord with the mes
sage and have strengthened the party by
their judicious conduct.
The statehood record of the legislature
is not as good as it might have been, but
that can be overlooked. The council
gave voice to Montana's aspirations, but
the. house waited until statehood was
foregone conclusion to make known its
sentiments. Then it passed a partisan
resolution and withheld from Mr.. Toole
the praise which he deserved for his
statehood speech, which was the Montana
declaration of. independence.
On the whole this has been good-hu-
mored, hard-working legislature. 1t has
had it whims like all Legislatures, but its
members have proved by their ability and
industry how well qualified Montana is
to assume the responsibilities Of state
hood. .M....

enterprise until the sale of the mine
crowned the veteran miners efforts. Mr..
Hershtield is president of the Merchants
