When n labor organization becomes
unreasonable or unjust in its demands
resistance to them is proper, and will be
sustained by public sentiment, but ii, as
seems to be tho case in the New York
Central strike, the demand is simply
that the laborers be allowed to exercise
their rights as individuals to connect
themselves with the Knights OF Labor,
and the privilege is forbidden on paine OF
dismissal from the company's employ,
tho sympathy Of fair minded people
will be with them. 1t may be, how.
ever, that when the company's side is
fully understood n different under
standing Of the cause OF tho difficulty
may DO reached. At present VIC have
only Mr.. Powderly's statement that the
strike is the result OF an effort on the
part Of the railway managers to destroy
the Knights Of Labor by discharging all
who are connected with tho order. II
this is true, the trouble will likely
spread beyond the limits OF tho New
York Central district and will be a long
fight and involve a great deal. In the
meantime developments will be watched
for with interest.

The report OF Congressman Lacey, OF
10 wa, 60 chairman Of the subcommittee
oithe House Committee on El~ectionsthat
Investigated tho Breckenridge Clayton
contest in the Second Arkansas district,
Is ono OF the most interesting public
documents furnished since the present
Congress began. The report deals with
tho whole history Of tho case, tho frauds
ut tho polls, the murder Of John NJ
Clayton while looking for evidence up
on which TO base a contest for tho seat,
and the four ether murders growing out
OF the memorable contest. ltforms one
OF tho most thrilling stories in. tho his
tory Of Arkansas politics aud shows the
murder Of Clayton to have been Il o
the mos. dastardly crimes ever commit
ted, and that the cowardly deed was
done by two men who skulkCd outsidt
the window Of his room in the darkness
while lie sat ut his table writing.
There were four other murders, or at
tempted murders, committed during the
coutcs. Ia the interest OF Drcckinridge't
Democrltic claims 10 tho seat. Here
arc their uames:

The report goes at length into III.
matter OF the theft OF the ballot.box a
one oil the precincts, tho box beinl
known to contain over 400 majority fo'
Clayton, the Republican candidate, ant
is n strong argument in favor ola fedora
election law. The necessity, says th'
committee, for the enactment OF som,
law which will prevent ballot box steal
ing and murder from comforting a prim'

dent from tho result in this contest
Had such laws been in force as woull

Tho Cutlery Against "Forcc."

Se,r York Tribune. ..-'. l.
a bill has been pending in Congress
for several months which aims to secure
m honest count OF honest votes. 1t has
no other aim. 1t is absolutely non-par-
tisan 1t was drafted to meet an urgent
necessity; it cannot possibly work an in.
Justice to any political organization. Let
it become n law and its provisione be
faithfully enforced, and our el%ectionsfo for
Congress in a large number OF districts
will be n more genuine expression NJ
tho minority than they have ever been
before. This bill is entitled "An act to
amend and supplement the election laws
OF the United States and TO provide for
the more efficient enforcement Of such
laws"
Democrats, however, have another
name for it. Democratic Senators, Dem.
ocratic congressman, Democratic news.
papers, Democratic local leaders, Demo.
cratic h%eelsrs, unite in calling it the
"Force' bill. This would seem to imply
that they are opposed to any political
methods which smack OF "iorce;" that
they hold that the whole art of popular
government consists in the successful
employment OF moral suasiop, It is
evident that tho Democratic party fights
the pending election bill so desperately,
not because it regards it as a "%io,ce" bin
or because it has any particular obiec.
ton to a 'iorce' bill. Ever since the
days OF reconstruction it has practically
condoned the display Of revolving
".forco" which has kept the South solid
for the Democracy. 1t fights the bill be.
cause it has good reason to believe that
any measure which secures fair cleo.
tions, particularly at the South, will
help the Republican party.
