The Legal Phase of the Question

A certain female woman, no longer basking
in single blessedness because upon certain
occasion she had been married to man,once
upon a time called upon certain unsophis'
ticated aud uninitiated pawnbroker and rep
resented that her finances were at an exceed
ing low ebb; in fact, it afterwards trans.
pired they did not ebb at all, and represented
10 her uncle that of the whole family II was
plain to be seen that Notwithstanding the
many drawbacks and other incidents con-
nected with her financial condition
prior to the period at which she had
first entered the domain occupied
and then held as her rightful and lawful in
heritance under the wise and useful home
stead law of Texas, she had on many and
numerous occasions eDdeavored to have a
change made in the pompous ponderosty of
the mayor, and falling in this she clearly
showed the court that the man who had
sworn out the affidavit (her husband) had ac-
customed himself to practice pestiverous pro-
family and bombast, and had on other Occa-
sions shown a real lack of spiritualized ideal
ity TO the extent of going to bed without re-
moving his boots and spurs, against which
the petitioner has sued out warrant for de-
famatiOn of character and was now
consulting Uncle Emerson with a
view to raise money whereWlth TO
forestall the District Attorney and
such other officers of the court as might be in
PENDANT. She then bought fine pair of soil
taire diamond earrings, gold watch. a
Waterbury clock from Uncle Jess, and after
ward a secondhand sewing machine and left
for home. fully determined that in future
whenever she got into tight place she would
go straight to Uncle Jesse for advice and
financial tonic.

no money and his wife and children
are at home dreadfully hungry.
Hothead is poor adviser-still, his
hotheaded words are too often more
acceptable to workingmen than are
the words Of men of cool heads and
sound Judgment, who Inculcate pru-
dence and calmness.
Now let us suppose that 1000 work.
ingmen of the Hothead pattern, have
gone on strike, without any re-
sources to subsist upon while out of
work.
Their employers refuse to comply
with their demand, telling them they
cannot afford to pay the wages asked
for, so it becomes merely question of
which party can hold out the longest.
That is all there is to it. If A. B. &
G. cannot pay the wages demanded
of them, without gripping their bus;-
ness to the verge of bankruptcy, they
have both moral and legal right
to refuse to consent to ruin them
selves. The 1000 moneyless strikers
soon grow angry with their employ
ers, and look on Themselves as ill-used
and oppressed men, and are pretty
soon in proper frame of mind for
any act of violence that any Tom Hot
head may suggest to their exaspera-
ted minds.
Let us suppose each one of the
1000 strikers were getting dollar and
q half per day while at work
they would, consequently, lose $4,000
daily, or for 26 working days, they
would lose $4,000. Besides, during
this month of idleness, they must
either buy food on credit, or subsist
upon funds contributed by broth er
workingmen out of their earnings.
Hundreds of sober strikers become
sots, in consequence of having fallen
into the habit of tippling, under the
depression of feeling occasioned by
idleness and poverty.
Every strike that occurs demon
strates the unwisdom OF strikes, in
other words, proves these are no
actual remedies for the ills of work.
ingmen. Matters are much worse,
when workingmen are ordered to go
on strike by the chief officers of
some labor organization whose salar-
les remain unaffected. This indis-
poses employers to enter into any
negotiations and also disinclines
them to hire workmen of that organi-
cation.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER u, 800
THE uNWIspoM STRIKES.


The Boston Globe which is general
ly an able and thoughtful paper, re-
Gently contained an editorial upon
"the philosophy of strikes" where
in, it was stated as fact, that strikes
were much more frequent during
season of prosperity than they were
in season of depression. BE this as
it may, the LIGHT proposes to group
together, in an unpretending way, for
the common benefit, some thoughts
as regards 1.-THE unwisdom of strikes"
We start out, by TAXI ng ii for grant
ed, that workingmen, who go on
q strike, always place pique and pas
sion clean to one side, and are inn
PEELED only by the idea, true, or falla-
cious, of lettering their condition by
the securing Of higher wages.
None but fools ever act in matters of
business, from mere pique, blind
passion and senseless luminosity,
since either one of these is a most
miserably poor guide in business af-
fairs, which demand cool judgement
and careful thought. 1t is easy
plunge blindfold into error, but the
difficulty of repairing that error is
often insurmountable by the greatest
intellect and the coolest judgment
ever vouchsafed to man.
Ninety-nine working men out of
every hundred, taking them at ran
dom, are without dollar of reserved
capital-they have laid by nothing
'for rainy day" out of their wages,
and in consequence of their IMPROVE
dence, have no capital whatsoever
except the labor of their hands.
Men, thus situated, are certainly in
a sorry plight for relinquishIng pres
ent employment, even at low wages,
and going ON strike, in the hope of
extorting All increase of wages from
employers. How are they to procure
food, even the bare necessaries of life,
for themselves, their wives and chill
dren, after they shall have left of
work? They all must live after some
fashion, either on full or half ratiens,
since going on strike does not sus-
pend the craving for and the necessi-
ty of food to appease hunger. But
exclaims, Tom HOthead, who is booty
half the time: plague upon such
cant as this that you are reellng off, il
is fit only to be dinned into the ears
OF slaves whose manhood has been
ground out of them by the
tyranny of capital. My motto ID
that workingmen should &C
out on a strike, regardless o.
consequences, whenever wages are
too low-that is the only way to fetch
bloated capitalists to their senses
and wiring from them fair wages,
and having fired off this senseless re
mark, Hothead toddIes Off to tn

Another young and thriving city
has been devastated by the fire fiend.
Yesterday the energetic city of Pull
man was bustling with new life and in
creased activities; to-day it is mass of
blackened, charred and smouldering
ruins. Its natural advantages are
many, it's energy great, but in spite of
these much time will elapse before it
rises from it's crippled condition. The
continued depredations made by fire
should caution municipal authorities
everywhere to use due diligence in pro-
tecting their citizens. Lewiston has
been singiilarly fortunate in the past,
but when we look at the protection we
could depend upon in case of large
fire, 1t Is enough to make the most
yenturesome pause and reflect.

wishing to find homes and investments
for their wealth should visit them, but
the writers or boomers, In their efforts
to convince the public, are too apt to
draw on their imagination. This de-
lusive manner of trying to ''get up IL
boom" is not only wrong but is dam
age to town, as those who are attrac-
ted by it learn to their sorrow that they
have been duped and can weld a great
er influence against that town than any
number of "boon" ar icles can offset.
In our experience we have met with
many who did not believe in advertis-
ing or writing up their town or BUSH
ness just because Of the fact that they
were afraid of being painted in colors
that would not wash, but the Lewiston
people have sufficient to write about
without manufacturing u fairy story or
making up something to talk about.
This idea will be indelibly impressed
on the visitors mind if he but takes the
time for survey of the town and coun-
try surrounding, as we have done, and
we believe we do not exaggerate or
stretch the truth when we say that
this portion Of Idaho, as we have said
before, in soil, climate, natural resour-
ces and all the ingredients that go to
make tonic for health, wealth and
happiness is not excelled by any coun-
try on the globe.
/ would like to write more, but 1t
would be asking too much at one time,
to ask for more space than what have
already written will necessarily require.

Statehood has come. The political
fever will soon be raging. Candidates
and possible candidates already loom
above the horizon. The constitution
provides for an election within the
next ninety days. Those ninety days
will be eventful; the most eventful per-
haps In the history of Idaho. Party
lines must be drawn, party issues
made, party organizations completed;
conventions, caucases, committees and
subcommittee will be called and APP
pointed. It will be busy, eventful,
interesting time.

Idaho Is in the Union and the
IdAhoan who did not celebrate the
event with lusty cheers amid general
rejoicing Is hard to find. One year of
knocking at the portals and Idaho
gains admission. The rejoicing was
general North, and South the flashing
news was received with cheers and de-
monstrations. The celebration Of the
glorious 4th had this year to each citi-
zen of Idaho special and additional
Significance. He had shaken off terri
torial serfdom and stood proud as the
lofty mountains that hem him in, and
free as the air that circles them, equal
and independent with any citizen of
the Union. Young Idaho looks for
ward to a glorious future. Her rugged
mountains are filled with richest ores.
Her fertile valleys and rolling high
lands produce cerials and fruits that
rival the richest lands of the world.
With population of sturdy, honest,
ihdurtrious citizens, with social and
political advantages equal to any with
millions of hidden wealth, in undevel-
oped resources, fair Idaho stands forth
youngest of all yet able, with advan-
tages and resources, to cope with any.
She has able statesmen to carry her
over the perils Of organization, and can
be depended upon in selecting material
to represent her interests at home and
abroad. The increased representation
In Congress will has en- the develop
ment of our resources. With the ban
Of territorial government removed, inn
migration will be attracted here. Capt.
tai and energy will open up avenues
for trade. Idaho has resources equal
10 any state In the Union, climate
lealthful and moderate. Within its
borders can be found community of
happy people, who will welcome and
make room for those who will soon
come tn dwell with VA.
