A NEW YORK legislator has produced
bill that he holds viii prove a panacea
for all the ills that afilict the labor and
capital questions. He proposes by this
measure that whenever either party to a
disagreement between corporations and
employees requests it, Estate Board of
Mediation " shall proceed to the scene of
the " trouble" and decide the issues, and
that such judgment shall be final and bind
ing. We wonder if that legislator ever
heard of the Constitution of the United
States, or has ever been informed that in
this country man is guaranteed the right
to hire whom he pleases, as long as he
pleases, and for what he pleases, and that
every man enjoys the right to work for
what he chooses, for whom he chooses. and
also enjoys the sovereign privilege of quit
ting when he pleases the service of any
man? The idea" of that legislator
would scarcely be tolerated even in del
spotic Russia, and would put the property
and liberty of every man in the hands of
his neighbor.

IF it is true that Senoussi has taken
Darfour and Kordofan, and is pressing
hotly upon the Mahdi from the west, then
it is possible that the days of Abdullah,
the successor of the "False Prophet" are
numbered and his rule over the Soudan
nearly at an end. Sheik Senoussi made a
master stroke when he captured the capi-
tai of the Wadai province, for it is the
key to the control of a section as large as
all Germany. If Emin Pasha has knowl-
edge Of the successes of Senoussi, he will
not be likely to retreat from his position,
but will rather advance against the
Mahdi, who will thus be placed between
two fires and must be crushed and the
African problem thereby solved.

Puck" says that organized charity
uncovers multitude of sins" Yes, and
indiscriminate, or unorganized charity,
creates or fosters legion of ills. The
worst gift is a gift to beggar able to
work. The wise charity is that which en-
ables the needy to help themselves. And
again, the labor given in charity, TO be
well directed, ought to be disagreeable
labor, and little rewarded, to the end that
the recipient may be spurred to rid HIM
self of it by better employment and better
wages as soon as possible. The most sue
cessiul organized charities in the country,
IN dealing with adults and the able-bodied,
now proceed upon that line of action.

The citizens of oskaloosa, Ks, have for
the second time filled all their municipal

have practically said TO the country that
the local administration under petticoat
government is betterthan when men admin

true. Abuses have been corrected, economy
conserved, streets graded, deadfalls sup
pressed, intemperance reduced, and such
prosperity invited and secured that the

THERE is now but one civilized nation
whose people are engaged in the slave
trade-Portugal. The American, English
and other civilized powers could not do
better than to unite in a protest to that
little kingdom against further continuance
OF the same. There is large party in
Portugal that would welcome such an effort
from the outside, to induce the Portuguese
Government to forbid, under the death
penalty, any of its subjects from trafioking
IN the flesh and blood of human beings.
AS a matter of fact the Government of
Portugal does not indorse the slave trade,
but it appears to be powerless to prevent a
constituencies class of its people from en-
gazing in it.

this: it binds us, and SO do the
acts of our representatives, to which
we have assented Without national
dishonor we cannot retreat. We might
add to the words of Mr.. Bates that the
commonest dictates of humanity, to say
nothing of self-interest, also forbid us to
stand silent and inactive and see the usur-
pations of Germany made permanent. We
should deal with the people Of Samoa as
fairly and considerably as we would with
those of Central America, England or
Mexico, and no less so. 1t is painful to
notice that in San Francisco one American
journal has treated the claims of the Samo-
ans upon US as of no special importance,
and the concern respecting the whole ques-
ton as of no moment and unwarranted.
The spirit animating such utterance meas
ures the keeping of national honor accord
ing to the ability of the other contracting
party to enforce performance.
But, as Mr.. Bates says, Intervention in
behalf of Samoan independence and recog-
milton of the established native authority
is demanded for the preservation of our
naval harbor and acquired rights, the pro-
lection of the persons and property of our
citizens, and the neutrality of the whole
Samoan group because of its commanding
position in the Pacific. American fore
sight is lost, he adds, if we fail to perceive
that the independence of these islands is
endangered by German domination, that
they constitute the key to commerce of
vast proportions to flow between the Pacific
shores and Polynesia. Even under
the most discouraging circumstances, and
in the face of the most bitter riv-
airy, not to say hostility, in the
year 1886 our commerce was represented
at the port OF Apia alone by $500 900
worth of goods from the one port of San
Francisco, brought out solely by sailing
vessels. Apia, by natural situation, is the
distributing point for large part of Poly
nesia, and when the worlds commerce
flows through an isthmian canal, Hawaii
must resign the key of maritime dominion
to Samoa
Finally, to comingle our own with the
views of the essayist, we are bound to
stand for Samoan independence, because
we invited the King to lean upon us. as
express consideration for the grants made
to us, but when the hour of trial came We
failed him, and vacillating Administra-
tration rebuked the Consular representa-
tive who attempted to preserve our self
respect by extending to the menaced mon
arch the temporary protection of the flag.
We are in common prudence bound to
interest ourselves to resist German en-
croachment, if for nothing more than the
fact that Germany is so persistent in the
attempt to control the islands, and has
boldly proposed to US to join her in the
seizure and to share the plumber. AS Mr..
Bates says, let Us demand the restoration
of the status quo, the return of the alb
Quoted King-Chief, and his placement
once more in power, and, let US add let
the decree of the American Government
then be to Germany, England, ourselves
and all others, 'hands off"
