A WESTERN OPINION.
The New York Street Railway Strike
and Its Lesson.

The strike on the New York street
railways as recorded in our Geographic
dispatches, emphasizes the position
which we take in regard to all these
ployee. The public have rights which
should be respected in all these contests
between corporations and their opera
tives As public, we have no right to
interfere on either side, and must let the
contestants settle the dispute for them
selves; vet the general public must suf
fer most serious Inconvenience, az
well as an immense absolute loss. As a
public we have right to be heard, as
well as the power to enforce our decls-
ions. Shall we be forever burdened
and robbed by these contests between
other employing corporations and their
employees? We think not. If we are,
the fault is our own. The natu al sou
ton for these troubles is for the public
to take control of the franchises and OPP
crate them for the benefit of the public.
In this case and in this case only, would
the public have a right to demand that
the service should be rendered
If New York, or any other city, wants
reliable street railway service, they
must own and control such services.
When they do, and not before, they will
have right to interfere between the
street railways and their employees.
This is a question worthy of careful
consideration. Can we as a people
afford to have these oft-recurrlng con
| tests between corporations and their
operatives? If we cannot, the natural
remedy is, for the people to take
possession of the franchises, and run
the roads by the people, and for the
people.
1t is true, that in New York, the police
| declare that they are able to protect the
corporations, But who are the police
and who are the corporations? Both are
the servants of the people, and should
be compelled to obey the people. But
the average policeman thinks that he
must obey the corporations who happen
to hold franchise from the people
This is very serious mistake. The
people alone are masters, and have the
right to control, and among the people
are street car drivers and conductors
We can see no Just and equitable
solution of these oft repeated diStur
Dances between corporations and then
employees, but the public ownership anc
control Of all public franchises

100000 in bank or in bonds will pay
not ten times as much as he who has
$4,000, but about thirty times as much.
So with earnings, the rate will increase
with each additional $500 of income,
with the proviso that $50 shall be made
as an allowance for each month to be
fed.
The design of the system is of course
to throw the burden of taxation OH those
who are best able to bear it, and by the
gradual enlargement of exemption 1t is
an easy matter to bring the entire
burden of taxes on few, which is
illustrated in the statement of Consul
Clifford as to Basic"
The income tax in the Canton of
Basic, which is "progressive," ope-
rates thus On incomes of from 800
to l,200 francs the tax is five francs;
1000 to l,500f., ten francs; l,500f.
to 4,000f., one per cent; 4,OOOf. to
S,OO0f., two per cent; S,00Of. to
l2,000f,, three per cent; l2,00Of.
and upward, four per cent.
1t will be seen that the "progres
sive' feature of the tax is limited.
Still, the Consul General volunteers
the information that the system
"has its dangers, and is Of very
doubtful policy" What the dan
gers are and where the doubtfulness
comes in are left for the intelligent
American reader to surmise. Some
may be uncharltable enough to sus-
pect that the writer only imagined
that it would have been doubtful
policy for him to make such re-
port without expressing his dlsap-
| probation in view of his American
political relations.

WARLIKE PROHIBITIONISTS.

Here's the warliIe way in which the
Voice prohibition puts it this week;
Carlyle thus summed up the story of
the ending of the French Revolution,
when young Bonaparte was put in COM
mand of Paris, and the mob collected on
the steps of st. Roche '"Fire!" say
the bronze lips, and the thing we spe-
officially call the French Revolution is
blown into space by it, and become IA
thing that was Bonaparte afterward
Indignantly commented on certain re-
ports of the affair: 1T is false that we
fired first with blank charge; it would
have been waste of life to do that,
When will our public officers learn to
ass TT the authority of law by exercising
their power? A mob of anarchists, draft
rioters, and any other rioters when they
defy law, defy civilization, and must be
dealt with as civilized. When mild rea-
son fails and severity is needed, the
quicker men realize that it must be Sc
we're the better"
The socialist idea of referendum, if
put in force, would decide many doubt
full law. For it is the very reasonable
doubt as to the public sentiment on
many laws which deters public officers
from attempting rigid enforcement.

The East River Savings Institution, it
is reported, brought foreclosure suit
against Jacob Davidson, the New York
Protective Associations, Michael Bres-
lin, as receiver, and others, to foreclOse
a mortgage of 49,, 900 executed by Dav-
idson to the bank on May u, 1885. In
1886 Davidson sold the property to the
Associations, subject to the mortgage,

Isaac Wood, delegate from the Press
mems Union to the Central Labor Union
and one of the three delegates alleged tC
be implicated in the brewers bribery
case, has brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages against L. Jablinowsky for libel
because, as is alleged, Jablinowsky
charged him with accepting a bride
Mr.. Jablinowsky and other delegates
seem to think that Wood has made &
serious mistake in this matter, as pub
lie trial may only serve o more posi-
had corrupt dealings with the hos
brewers.
At last Sundays meeting of the New
York Typographical Union No. &, it wa
resolved to "respectfully ask Presden
Harrison not to do violence to the feel
ings, or ALLEVIATE the sympathes Of thu
organized toilers of this land by the ap
pointment of Whitelaw Reid to any
office within the gift of the incoming
administration" Every one knows the
story of Reds pertidy towards Horace
Greeley, and his enmity towards the or
gained printers, and the Typographica
Union no doubt considers it .grea
honor to be sent to the Court of st
James, and therefore respectfully asks
his nibs not to send his friend Reid t.
eat sugar plums in the presence of he
majesty and her noble retinue. W.
can't see what favors the British Cour
has bestowed upon Typographical Uniol
No. 6, that they sh uld humble them
selves before Ben Harrison in order t
prevent the inhiction of Reid upon tb
British carbuncle.

cided to hold another such meeting on

EXPEDIENCY.

God save our place and nation
Let who will pay the cost.
God save our rank and station
Whatever else be lost.
God save our Constitution
However wrong it he.
God give US substitution
That so IRE may be free.
Thus ever through the ages,
EXpediency doth pray;
Asking for its sins wages,
That someone else should pay;
Thus seeks to hold its station,
BY sacrifice of truth;
The "Self' and place" and Nation,
To keep and sdre, forsooth.
1t hath ten thousand voices,
To spread abroad its lie.
Above earth's warning noises
Its voice is heard on nigh;
And not whether right or true,
But only, "Will it pay?'
"Keep no other goal in view,
Than comfort for today"
Ger every land and nation,
Its scepter heareth sway;
And men in every station
Do Loyalty obey.
A god it is, whose altar
Is stained with martyr-blood
Of men who could not falter,
Of saints who bravely stood,
As Fright" it oft appeareth,
And advocates reforms.
For truth with lip it pleadeth,
But to the he conforms.
1t coins new words and phrases.
Right is expediency,
"Sin'-a want of taste, bad form,
"Virtue"-utility.
