Apso1uT1sM AND INDUSTRY.

The course which the young Emperor of
Germany took in dealing with the recent
miners strike was about as ridicu-
lous an example of absolutism applied to
industrial disputes as could well be i'm
sgined. Hardly anything mare SfOreign to
the status of industrial matters in this
country could be conceived than the
spectacle of the sovereign of the country
telling delegation of the workingmen that
if they did not obey orders he would call
out the troops and have them cut down like
dogs; and then turning around and giving
their employers sharp lecture, with or
ders to give the men fair wages and steady
work.
1t is certainly to the Emperor's credit
that he perceived the vital necessities of the
position. Order and respect for the law on
the part of the workmen, is something which
the ruling classes are very apt to teach; but
few of them are as lucky as he to see that
the employers must found the principles of
good order in good pay and decent pros
perity for their employees. The rule Of
might did better than usual in this case;
and a good many people may be led to think
that perhaps it might be well to have some
such power in this country, by which the
wasteful and destructive disputes between
labor and capital could be readily adjusted
by power higher than either ofthem.
Still such an opinion would be a'mistake.
Neither labor nor capital would be bene-
fted by taking their liberties away from
them. The grave disputes in which they
engage are an evil; but the evil will work
out its highest good when It makes the en-
ployers and their men learn that they must
settle their disputes intelligently aud peace
ably. It is better for nation to learn that
lesson even at the cost of some danger and
dispute than to lean upon some absolute
power to govern them.
Beyond that it appears that the imperial
order was not as efficient as was expected,
from the news that the strikers have come
into collision with the troops and that the
result Of bloodshed has followed.

A HEALTHY SIGN

The remark of railroad official reported
in Chicago telegram, with reference to the
abolition of differentisl rates, that it is i'm
possible to permit a system Of differential
rates without pool 10 regulate it, tells a
part of the truth, but not the whole of it.
The diferential rates cannot be maintained
without pool, and would never have been
dreamed of except in connection with a
pool.
The diferential as applied in this era is
to permit the roundabout reads to carry
freight cheaper than the direct ones The
device of authorizing those roads, which can
least afford to carry cheaply, to do so in or
der that those which can best afford to carry
cheaply shall not do SO, is an outgrowth of
the system Of pooling. 1t is never heard of
except in connection with combinations to
prevent competition from fixing rates, and
to nullify the healthy principle of having
industrial services performed by the agen-
cies best fitted to do them, because they do
them the cheapest.
Therefore, the abolition Of diferentisls is
q healthy sign that the prohibition Of pools
Is doing its work. The roads which can af-
ford to do the work at the least prices are
likely TO do it, when the anomaly produced
by pooling disappears.

NOVEL APPLICATION.

A striking example of the early spring
madness OF partisanship may be found in
the reference of the Louisville Courier
Journal to the defeat of the ballot reform
bill in New York, as: ''The veto of the Sax
ton bill, which would have made it impossi-
bic for Mr.. Quay to carry the electoral vote
OF New York in 1892" This way of looking
at things implies very novel view of pol
itics. II indicates belief that the Repub-
liean Legislature which passed the bill de-
sired to defeat the Republican candidate in
1892. It also implies that the Democratic
Governor of New York who vetoed the bill
wishes to stand in with Senator Quay in the
next Presidential election. Probably the
esteemed COsrier-JoHrnGl thinks that
Cleveland will be the next candidate and
that Governor Hill desires to defeat him;
but still it is a decidedly unique view to
represent the Democratic Governor Of New
York as acting in the interests of our own
Matthew Stanley Quay. When TIE poll
ticians of one party get to doing exactly
what their enemies would wish them to do
it is novel application of the golden rule
In politics.

A SOCIETY CATCH.

Consul Doty, who has labored under the
stupendous burden of representing the
United States for some time in the Society
Islands, has won the heart and hand of
Princess Polona. 1t is always pleasant to
note signs of life in our consular agents, es-
pecially in the rather slumberous atmos-
phere of the South Pacific. The Princess
Polona is said to be pleasant, reddish
brown brunette, of refined tastes, accus-
toned to civilizations ways, including the
hustle. That she is a woman of sense is
proved by the fact that she rejected an
offer of marriage made to her some time ago
by that eminent and aristocratic blackleg,
the Earl OF Dudley. whose arrest for gam
bling in a London club house was chron-
icled in THE DISPATCH recently. We
have not the pleasure Of knowing Mr..
Doty, but we feel reasonably sure that
Princess Polona will find him superior to
most Of her olive or bright brown brethren,
and certainly better than any errant En-
glish earl.
1t is wonder that the Society Islands
have not attracted 9 greater number of
Americans to their hospitable shores. There
are thousands in this country, male and
female, who are eating their hearts out be-
cause they cannot get into Society. Why
should mot they find what they want in
Tahiti. We have reliable statistics at hand
which state that pigs, dogs and rats, to say
nothing Of domestic animals in general,
thrive remarkably we'll on these islands.
Surely ''sassisty" brought to famed 1000
proof would flourish there likewise. It
would not do any hurt to the fashionable

NOT A DANGEROUS MARKET.

The immensity of the recent strides of i'm
proYement in Pittsburg real estate has
caused few timid persons to note with ap-
prehension the occasional reappearance of
the brass band and free lunch feature which
was quite the order of the day in 1873. But
nothing of that sort has yet occurred here
in the present revival on a scale to warrant
even the slightest shadow of apprehension.
By far the largest volume of transactions in
reslestate at present is in nimproved property.
Persons have bought houses to live in them;
and others have bought sites 70 build houses
upon. Thus it is an actual present demand
which, 50 far, has been catered to. The fact
that few houses anywhere in the city remain
unsold or unrented is the best evidence that
the movement in that respect is not ahead
of the times or of actual requirements.
As for indiscriminste speculation, there
is as yet but little, If anything, of it.
Enough people are still living with vivid
Remembrance of the events in the early '70's
to check the folly of baseless booms or
dreams of enhancement springing solely
from mere maps and recorded plans or from
a too fervid Imagination.
There is not yet any advancement to
speak of in values of Pittsburg real estate,
or in the local demand for property, that is
not fair outgrowth of population and busi-
ness. Buyers, in nine cases out of ten, if
not indeed in still larger proportion, seem
to have actual needs for what they buy.
There is evidence, also, that they are con-
sulting their pocketbooks and their pros
poets with close discernment. That is not
the sort of activity in the real estate market
which characterizes dangerous speculation.
On the contrary, quite the reverse.

beef, 1t Is hard to see how the supporters
teal reply to it.
The possibility of shutting off the export
Of beef and cattle may show the cattle
growing interest how the measure into
which they have been misled will cut their
own throats. The exports of beef products
last year were 274, ,O0O,0 900 pounds, equal to
about $50, 900 cattle. The exports of live
cattle were 140,O 900. Here we have a total
expectation of nearly half million cattle
at the value of $50, ,OO0, 900. Supposing this
outlet to be cut off is it not clear that the
results must be disastrous to the cattle-rais-
ing interests of the whole country?
The act of the Western interests in
furnishing the weapon that can thus be
turned against themselves is all the more
foolish because the measure that would have
secured the legitimate purposes had been
urged before the country. State legislation
to cooperate with the federal inspection
law for guarding the health of beef pro-
ducts for interstate and export trade would
have placed American beef above reproach.
Similar legislation against trusts and en-
binations would have prevented undue
control of the live stock trade. Both meas
ures together would have added to the pros
terity of the cattle growers, cheapened the
price and guaranteed the quality of meat,
and enlarged instead of restricted the
commerce of the country.
But the cattle growing interests have in
stead been led into serving the purposes of
those who are anxious to maintain the high
prices of food. How much it will cost them
before they discover and correct their mis-
take it is hard to estimate.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURe, SATURDAY, MAY IS, 1ssa.
A RADICAL DIFFERENCE.

The contest over wages which our local
reports show to be impending at the Home
stead Steel Works is a singular illustration
of the radical divergence of views which
can exist between the the different interests.
A good many such differences have caused
long and costly strikes; but there have been
few which started out with such q wide gap
as the 80 to 30 per cent advance asked by
the men, and the equally decided reduction
announced by the firm.
1t is hardly possible to avoid the infer
ence, where there is such q discrepancy in
the first proposals, that one side or the other
has committed the error Of making exor-
bitant demands in order to gain leeway for
liberal concessions. No intelligent knowl-
edge of the steel market can permit such
radical differences, as are here disclosed. 1t
is not the province of the press to adjudicate
the rights and wrongs of such dispute. It
can only point out the inevitable loss and
danger that must follow such differences If
they are pushed to the result of a strike.
Perhaps it is Just as well that such q
striking divergence, as in this case, shall
come up scasionally in order to show the
absence of the necessary influences for the
prompt and equitable settlement Of wages.
When in place of 81 in wages by the present
scale, the men ask 81 90 and the firm offers
so cents, the wide discrepancy implies the
absence of the force which should maintain
wages on an equitable basis.
What the exact lack is and how it can be
supplied forms the problem of the age.
With regard to the present case, we can
only say that it shows the need of some
equitable method of settling wages, and
hope that the method may be found before
the present difference produces a long and
disastrous strike.
