A SENSELESS STRIKE.

Vice President WEBB'S letter in re-
ply to MIR. POwDERLY' is model of
plainneSs and directneSs. 1t is as court
could be, and yet it is pointed enough
to knock the strikers out OIL the first
round. Taking the two sides of the
case as they have been presented to the
public by Messrs. WEBB and Pow
Derby respectively. there can be no
difference of opinion among impartial
and disinterested persons that the
strike Oh the New York Central is en-
tirely uncalled for and cannot be Justi-
fed on rational grounds.
The discharge of certain men who
were in the employ of the New York
Central is the bone of contention. Mr..
PowDERLY asserts that they were dis
charged because they were Knights of
Labor, and for no other cause. Mr..
WEBB contradicts this statement and
says they wero discharged for cause,
and the fact of their being Knights of
Labor can be no protection to them in
case of dereliction of duty. Mr.. WEBB
is light in his position. 1t is the right
of all individual or of corporation to
determine who shall be retained in serv-
ice or who shall be discharged there
from, and it is right no one else can
interfere with.
When Mr.. PoWDERLY contrOvertS
this right he sets himself up as an auto
crat of more dangerous type than the
NJ 20 -
Labor do not want to work for Mr..
WEBB'S company it is their privilege to
withdraw from bis service. If Mr..
WEBB does not want Knights of Labor
in the employ of his company it is his
privilege to discharge the last man of
them. And there is no one who has the
right to deny this privilege to either.
Consequently there is nothing to
make row about. The world is big
enough for the VANDERBILTs and the
POwDERLYS to move along on separate
planes. If it is to be question of a
freeze-out between the VANDERBILTs
and the labor organization the chances
are all favorable to the former. So that
really nothing is to be gained by pro-
longing the strike. The only result
will be to inconvenience the public and
possibly subject the VANDERBILTs to
some losses. which will in no wise COM
pensate the strikers for the privations
they will have to endure.
If the strikers imagine they have
public sympathy Oh their side they are
mistaken. The public is never so
emotional as to be unjust; and it would
be the rankest injustice to blame the
VANDERBILTs for exercising the right
that is inherent to every American
citizen, the right to manage his own
affairs according to his own ideas of
business management.

HELPS THEM OUT.

Several papers elaborate very sur
prising support for theories in the pre-
liminary figures of the census in Iowa
that gave less than 100000 population,
which is about 600 less than the state
count of five years ago. The corrected
figures are about 2,15O,0OO, OF gain of
$4,000 in the decade. This is much
less than the states adjacent, and was
mostly gained in the first five years of
the period. There has been almost en-
tire stagnation in the past few years.
There is still ample support for the
theory that prohibition has diverted
emigration and retarded the growth of
the state. Taken ir connection with
Kansas, the contrast with all the other
new states in the vicinity is so marked
as to help out the position of those who
are in need of material pabulum for
antl-prohibition arguments.

CHICKEN DAY.

This is the day when the pretty prai-
RE chicken will mourn mans inhuman-
lty to the teathered tribe. the protect
ing @gis of the law is withdrawn from
the bird of the prairies, and the sports
man, with dog and gun, will start out
on his annual fall massacre of the inno-
cents.
1t is curious trait in the highest type
of the animal creation which prompts
him to kill the lower grades OF the ami
NAL kingdom just for the sport of it.
Man is the only animal that murders
for fun. The lion. the bear, the wolf
and other ferociOuS animals kill for
prey, or in anger. But man is the only
one of the animal species who finds
pleasurable enjoyment in taking life.
Still, it is a trait inherent in human
nature. and has to be INDUCED. There
is probably no other state in the Union
where the sportsman finds such vari-
ETY. of amusement, and so much of it,
as here in Minnesota. All the summer
long our lakes and streams furnish the
angler all the sport he wants. Now the
chicken-shooting season opens, and for
the next two months the farmers will
have their lives plagued out of them by
the gay city gentry who go down into
the country and tramp the grass and
the grain down in pursuit of the prairie
rooster and his little brown mate. And
then, when the chicken season is over.
the deer and the moose up in the pine
woods will be the victims to mans in
satiate desire to kill something.

sALIsBURY's DOOM.

The British parliament which has
Just been prorogued seems to have been
as barren of achievements as the Fifty
first American congress. 1t was long
session, and yet nothing was accom-
plished to reflect credit upon the min
istry OF to promote the welfare of the
English people. The most good that is
likely to come of it is the breakdown
of tie SALISBURY ministerial machin-
cry and the promise of new admins
tration in the near future.
What the late parliament did for the
SALISBURY government the present
congress is doing with equal success for
the HARRISON administration. 1t is
fairly parallel case of party dying
from the effects of false promises. The
SALISBURY ministry promised great
many things that were wholly iDcon-
sistent with their party principles. AS
a result they went to pieces in par
lament where they had majority.
1t is just so still with the HARRISON
administration. The Republican leaders
promised so many things in the last
presidential campaign which were at

MADE FOR THE RICH,

A New York City paper, that is more
distinctiyeIy than the sheet founded by
HORACE GREELEY the organ of protec-
ton, speaks of the reception of samples
of Black Hills tin in the East, and in
dorSes the claim that it can be produced
at S2.l5, as against $4.44 for the
same quality in the Cornwall mines.
The Bulletin, the Protective league Or
gan, also speaks CT the richness and
cheap production of the Dakota ore as
compared with the foreign article.
There is no question raised as to the
correctness of this claim; and yet the
tariff bill now being discussed in the
senate adds four cents pound, or more
than 20 per cent, to the price of tin.
Upon their own showing they have a
margin of about 100 per cent, and might
get along without 25 per cent more.
But tariffs are made for rich corpora
tions and not for the poor multitude.

the poor poorer" under Republican leg

ROOT HOG OR DIE.

The American hog is not an animal
to inspire sentimental feeling or allure
by graces of action or special symmetry
of structure. There have been edu-
Gated hogs and blind pigs, but little
sympathy or personal affection has been
elected. Still, although the American
hog-reference being had to the quadru-
ped only-is not political schemer, he
is figuring good deal of late in
political and public matters. just now
portions of an elaborate correspondence
in reference to him are being published.
Mr.. BLAINE, as secretary of state, has
been the operator on this side, with
Minister REID and the agent of the
French government on the other. AS
in Germany, the French authorities
have been unfriendly to the alien
porker. For nearly decade the French
market has been closed to all the hog
products of this country. The original
preteXt that the animal was diseased is
no longer insisted upon. At the expo
sition American hams and bacon took
high premiums. This fact is recited by
Mr.. BLAINE in his effort to secure the
removal of the distractions in the por-
cine path to France, and admitted by
the Gallo statesman, but with the un-
gracious intimatlon that the average
hog is of different grade. 1t is, how
ever, not insisted that sanitary grounds
warrant any discrimination between the
American hog and the English and con-
tinental animals which are admitted.
But when it is alleged that the interdic-
ton is warranted by the high duties on
French manufactures, and that the
MCKINLEY bill is to make them
still higher, Mr.. REID is put
in an embarrassing position, espe-
cially as conspicuous advocate of
this sort of legislation. He must
have felt that his role was diplomacy
rather than honest craftsmanship when
he suggested that if the bars were
thrown down to the hog congress might
reciprocate in favor of Frenchproducts.
lie knew that his party would do
nothing of the kind. His menace that
prohibitory duties might be placed on
French wines might be weighty if that
country had much of surplus of that
product. If there were no California
product of the vine, there would be
vastly less French wine in France or
this country. This correspondence will
suggest that the reciprocity that is to
make rev markets for United States
pork should not be restricted TO the

THE FAvoRITE CANDIDATE.


A correspondent asks the GLOBE to
name its favorite for governor. The
GLOBE is not in the business of candi-
date naming or slate making. Yet we
might readily answer our correspond
ent's question by saying the nominee
of the Democratic party will be our
fayorite when he is named, provided he
is a man worthy of support and quail
fed to fill the Office of governor.
The Democratic party occupies the
anomalous position in this state of being
the minority and yet the popular party.
Numerically weaker than the dominant
party, still its principles are. Endorsed
by three-fourths of the voters of the
state. This very anomaly ought to sug-
gest the kind of a candidate who is
needed to head the Democratic state
ticket.
If the GLOBE had the naming of a
gubernatorial candidate for the Democ-
racy. we would suggest the name of
some one who possesses the elements of
availability, and yet we would not place
his candidacy on the low grounds of
availability and experience alone. we
would have him to be man with the
ability to eXpound Democratic prlnci-
pies and the integrity to enforce them
in case he were elected. 1t is not a
candidate alone that the Democrats
want. but a man fit to be governor, a
man who will command the respect of
all the people and enjoy the confidence
of those who think as he thinks on the
public questions of the day.
When such man as that is found he
will be the GLOBES favorite. and if
nominated he will also be the favorite
of majority of the voters of Mime
sofa.
There are such men in the Democratic
party in Minnesota, and there ought to
be no trouble in making a suitable selec-
ton of candidates to put on The state
ticket

variance with the record and principles
of the Republican party that they are
now unable to do anything, notwith-
standing there is a Republican majority
in each branch of congress.
And, by the way, the Republicans in
Minnesota are in the same boat. They
are sailing under false colors, they are
making promises they have no idea
of fulfilling, and which they would be
utterly unable to fulfill if they wanted
to. Their state platform is in conflict
with their national platform, and they
are bound to fall in the vain effort to
reconcile the two.

all around. The temporary success Won
