INGALLS, THEFT.

When the late Hon. James N. Burnes
of Missouri, was strickeu with death a.
his post of duty in the house of represen-
tatives at Washington, the Democratic
party and the country at large lost, in
the prime of his life and the strength OF
his intellect, the valuable services Of an
able and a useful man. In the house
aud senate eloquent and deserved trib-
utes were paid to his memory, by Repub-
licans as well as Democrats. John j.
Ingalls, of Kansas, forgot for the time to
be sneering, cynical, vicious and W.T.
rolic, and LAID upon the bier Of the dead
statesman chaplet of lofty thou ght,
expressed with rare grace and ele-
gauce of diction. These memorial ad-
dresses were published, and the discov-
cry has been made that all that was
worthy of the occasion in Ingalls, effort
was stolen from the sermons of Father
Massillon, an eloquent French divine.
Ingall IS admits that the thought and the
phraseology were not his, but denies all
knowledge of Father Massillon s ser mons,
saying that when young man he
began the study of French without a
master, found the language in the book
he was studying credited to no one, and
being struck with the loftiness of the
thought, and finding 1t suited to the man,
the circumstances ana the occasion, used
1t as his own in the Burnes address.
II is James Russell Lowell, we believe,
who said few years ago that sit is not
the man who first says thing who Is en-
titled to the credit of it, but the man who
says it best Judged by this rule, In
gals stands condemned not only of pla-
giarlsm, but of failing to utter the stolen
thoughts as we'll as the one from whom
he stole them. BY his attempted justif-
cation of his theft he has only made mat
tiers worse, since he has virtually con-
fsssed himself guilty of Offering as a
tribute to the memory of a dead friend
thoughts purloined and pirated from the
works of French priest.

THE EUROPEAN STRIKERS.

An epidemic Of strikes is prevailing in
Europe, and is rapidly spree ding every
where. Many OF them are on large
scale, and include all trades, psrticu-
larly those employing half-skilled work
men or laborers dependent on strength
alone. Various causes are assigned for
the movement-the spread Of socialism
and the stimulus given to labor agitation
by the German emperor. But the chief
reason is that, during the late years of
depression, the condition of laboring
classes has been growing more and more
intolerable, until now it has reached
pass where it is impossible to live with
out more wages. Wages have dimin-
;shed, hours of labor are longer and
higher class of work is demanded, while
rents have increased and bread is made
the importation of food products. Com
panies have taken the place of individual
employers, and hardships of working
men are thus made greater, ana all these
changes have come at a time when the
grievances of the laboring classes are
made palmer by discussion and when
greater physical comfort is demanded. 1t
is no wonder, then, that the workmen
rebel at their lot, and that they resort TO
strikes, though they involve risks that
would not be ventured on were it not
their distress of a kind to reduce men to
despair. For the continental working
man has no savings or poor fund on
which to rely when he strikes, knows
that he will be opposed both by his en-
ployer and the police, and can only hope
to succeed by putting himself and family
on starvation allowance. Necessarily,
he gives in soon though as rule secures
some slight advance in wages before do
ing so the governments fearing disorder,
and pressing the employers to aeon
promise. But be returns to work as bit
ter as ever, and in the belief that COM
bination has helped him, and that If he
could have held out longer his position
would have been permanently improved.
This is the danger of the future-the fact
that there is no improvement in the
methods of strikes, that no lesson is
learned from them, and that the hatreds
between masters and men undergo no
diminutIon.

The Editors.

After a sumptuous dinner had been
served at the Arlington restaurant the
party proceeded to the opening of the
Spring Palace. 1t is indeed q thing of
beauty and will be further improved as
the season advances. Large delegations
are attending daily and express them
selves as well satisfied with the Palace
A large attendance is expected and its
success is now assured.
One of the ouriosities of the Palace Is
the Thorne typesetter which does its work
with wonderful accuracy and great rapid
ity. 1t ia one of the institutions that
"hss come TO stay 1t will TO great
extent reYolutionizs the printing BUSH
ness.
After looking through the Spring Pal
ace quite number of the editorial party
returned to Houston to continue the ex-
cursion through the southern and south
western part of the state, but the Itasca
representative returned directly home.
Altogether the Houston meeting was
one of the most pleasant in the history OF
the association. The kindness of the
people of that thriving, ambitious city
will not soon be forgotten by those of the
craft who partook of their hospitality.
Corsicana Will entertain the association

ACCORDING to Vienna correspondent,
the Austrians are about the worst taxed
people on the globe. Every propos ed
business enterprise is taxed on the basis
of the capital employed, whether there
urs any profits or not. The national in
come tax of per cent. is increased by
local taxation till it exceeds 16 per cent.
There is q tax on every person employed ,
on every increase of salary and on every
new employe who takes the place of one
who leaves. Rents in Vienna are taxed
80 per cent. and every firm has no end
of licenses and special taxes to pay.

Fort worth's Greeting.
Corsicana Obs ervel


The editors who visited Fort Worth last
Saturday reached that place through the
cOurtesies of the Houston and Texas Cen
trail railroad officials. Sleepers and chair
cars, porters and refreshments we're all
at the disposal of Eye editors.'' Col.
A. Faulkner, general passenger agent,
was with the boys, and took special pains
to see that all were happy and comforta-
BILE.
A committee of citizens of Fort Worth,
headed by Il. J. Hurley, met the editors
at the depot and hustled them into the
electric street cars, thence to the Airing
ton, where banquet dinner was served.
The next move was to the electric cars
and to the cyclorama of the battle of
Missionary Ridge. Next the boys were
conducted to the Spring Palace ground
where a Thorne type-Setting machine
was at work, setting as much type as
seven men could set in the same length
of time. The boys were completely cap
tured by the little instrument.
The Spring Palace was great wonder.
Governor Adams of Colorado was making
his great speech when the editors en-
tered the building. The whole place
was crowded with people admiring the
wonders.
The editors were extended the freedom
of the city and treated like princes by
the generous people Of the Chicago of the
Southwest.
This editor returned home in the even
ing, leaving many of the quill drivers In
the swim as the guests of the generous
people.
Everything was free to the editors and
they enjoyed themselves to the full ex-
tent.

Out of her mist walls, virgin fair,
The JunGfrau lowered in the Alpine airs
While they, from the rustic bridge, below,
Admired her beauty of sun and snow.
'when shall you leave?'' his friend inquired.
''Well, - he said. my time 5 expired
~ ought to have gone last week, yet still
I seem to finger, &gainst my will;
II can't see why--it is really queer,
Butt think the JungfraU keeps me here"
Then, suddenly turning, he bowed and blushed-
His tourist cap to his bosom crushde-
As a German maiden, with eyes OF blue,
slked by them, bowling and blushing too.
And after her form the young men gazed,
While one OF them said, with eyebrows raised:
''NY boy, to me it is distinctly clear
That the 'Jungfrau' means 10 keep you here"

IT is easy enough to say that the Chi
nese must go, but it is exceedingly Diff
cult to make them go. The most recent
developments in illustration of this are
on the Mexican border, where our au-
thorities recently arrested a party of
Cinnamon trying tn steal into San Diego.
The practice appears to have been TO i'm
port coolies from China and tranship
them in San Francisco hsrbor on coast
ing vessels for conveyance TO some Mexi-
can port, from which they can take their
chances Of getting into California or Ari-
zona by crossing the border. But the
facilities for such traffic In Monaghan
labor on the British Columbia line are
also obvious. There it is only short
trip from Victoria to some safe landing
place in Puget sound, and of such places
there are plenty.

IN Judea there was king who drove
from his presence the councillors of his
father who gave him wise but distssteful
counsel, and called around him young
men who advised in everything he show
himself more rigorous than had been any
former king. Whether the German en-
peror has adopted the latter line of policy
is not known, but the late action Of the
Prussian diet in reference to Hebrews in
that country smacks of e tyranny that
belongs to the dark ages, and IL the
acts of the upper house Of the diet are

If anything was needed to insure the
adoption of the railroad commission
amendment it was supplied in the politi-
cal device of organizing alleged uon-par-
tisan business men g clubs to oppose all
railway regulation. Whom the Gods
wish to destroy they first make mad, and
IL the railroads of Texas wish to arouse
the people from the Red to the Rio
Grande and infiame the present conserva-
tive demand into a feyerlsh agitation.
they have but TO encourage their bench
men to oppose even the declaration of a
right TO regulate. These non-psrrisan
business mems clubs are the creations OF
political desperation and folly. The
right to regulate is one thing, and the
expediency of regulation another. The
political fool has said in his heart the
people have no right to regulate.
