h london tailors struck just at the
beginning of the busy season, and of
course the employers were thereby great
ly annoyed. But so were the gentle
men who wanted their summer suits
annoyed. The shops We're full of orders,
and fashionable youths clamored for
their fashionable clothes, strike or no
strike. One correspondent said, THE
London dudes are in a position WINCH
entities them to the compassion of their
imitatprs in America" This is the
funny side of the affair, but it has a
serious one for the workingmen, which
is found in h lesson that there is a time
to strike as well rs a time not to strike.
Who" uvng"wnrkers take advantage of
the season or other circumstances sur
rounding the calling at which they
are engaged, and make a demand when
their services arc most required by their
employers, there is generally howl
about the time being "inoppOrtune be-
cause the public il discornmoded. This
is nonsense. Ihave frequently expressed
myself on the subject, and l am not ut
tering anything new when | say that the
time for labor to lay down its tools in
support Of a just demand is when the
product of their labor is most in demand.
Sentiment has no right TO a place in the
practical labor movement. 1t is bust
ness from the word go, That is the way
capitalism does things, and it will pay
us to follow the example.

1t now seems probable that organized
labor will take steps looking to a coop
GRAFTON with the Peoples party-or
whatever may be the third party-at the
next national election. OF course there
is the fear hat the chickering's of some
and intolerance of others will divide the
unionists, as they have beer divided so
often before. There seems to be more
danger Of this in New York than in any
sther important industrial center. If the
ismites and hair splitters can only dwell
In harmony for a short time the ballot Of
labor in New York city may be made an
important factor in the future political
history of the country.

Buchanan Comments Briefly Upon Recent
Utteraness and happenings.
The New York Times, in an editorial
a column long, discusses the rights and
the not rights Of labor unions. If less
space had been used fewer blunders
would nave been made. The text for
the occasion was the trouble between the
Northwestern Railroad company and its
~switChmeu. There are the usual plati-
tudes which the average editor thinks
imprcsses ~wordngmen with an idea Of
his fairness, but, like most of his con-
freres, the editor Of The Times wauders
far from what he lays down as a general
principle when he gets TO dealing with
the details Of a particular case. The ed
itorial says: There is no reason why
railroad workmen should not belong to
unions. 1t is the only effective means
they nav of maintaining and enforcing
their Just rights and securing for them
selves fair treatment. They have the
right to unite for the purpose Of obtain
ing proper wages and reasonable hours,
of formulating grievances and seeking
their redress, and when their just de-
mands are disregarded they have an IN
doubted right to resort to strikes, If
necessary, 10 enforce them.
That is all right, but this from the
same article does not agree with it: If
1t Is the right Of railroad men to belong
to unions, it is also their right not 20 be-
long to them, and there is no more Of
fensive tyranny than that which under
takes 10 deprive men of work If they do
not submit themselves to the control of
some organization against their wills"
If the union has a right to enforce its de-
mands, and one of those demands is that
the unions rules shall be obeyed and its
scale exacted by every employee on work
where the organization is in control,
then it must compel men TO submit
themselves" or it might as well shut up
shop, for it doesn't sven come up to the
standard Of uuionism Advocated by The
Times. The editorial quoted from was
constructed from just such misft and
conflicting expressions, and yet the
mush head and the very good citizen"
say, Did you read that fine editorial on
strikes in The TimesI'

rhst is the Capital Of . saiins County
Enterprise.

Enterprise
The stock holders of the Acme
Cement Plaster Co., held their an.
nual meeting In Salina Tuesday,
and perfected their reorganization,
| which incorporates them under the
laws Of the State Of Illinois, with
the main Office In Chicago, and with
. paid up capital stock Of half
million dollars. The same officers
were reelected, and Mr.. Watson,
the president, was voted handsome
increase of salary. They have lately
greatly enlarged their plant ut
Gypsum City, and when they again
start, they will have q capacity Of
200 tons per day. The growth Of
this company under the present
management has been phenomenal,
and their plaster is now used in all
the principal cities Of this country.
The discovery Of their bed OF mater
ial In this county wss the first find
Of the kind In the known world, and
to Saline county falls the honor Of
first discovering its merits, and
placing II on the market rs .
comodity. We are glad to note
their prosperity, and hope they may
realize still greater returns for their
efforts to perfect the workings OF
their plant. Messrs. Gordon Willis,
Of st. Louis, J. s. Holman, Min
neapolis, Mimi, ID. p. Abbot, Savan-
nah, Ga, and Paul Frsncke, Of st.
Joe, were here, aud attended the meet |
ing. They visited the works at

were highly pleased with the i'm
provements made by the local board |

Our Lighting system


At the council meeting next Nom
day evening 1t is expected that q
new contract for lighting will be
entered into with the Salina Light
and Power Co. A daily paper says
the committee will recommend that
the present system OF arc lighting
will be dispensed with altogether,
and allow the present gas contract
to supply all the light. 1t would
seem that this, while cutting off a
large item of expense could not be
considered as economy, as 1t would
leave the city practically 10 dark
ness. IL anything is to be dispensed
with the gas could be done away
with and not he missed, by the adj
dition Of few mo arc lamps, pro-
vided all the lamps were raised to a
proper height.
Money spent for lights that swing
ten or even twenty feet from the
ground Is money thrown away, for
the light does not cover an area in
proportion to the expense. Lamps
from forty to sixty feet from the
ground are Of some use, and are also
economical. Nothing reflects great
er credit upon a city than having its
streets well lighted, AID as we have
all the modern facilities for lighting
the streets at hand 1t would seem
foolish to take any backward steps
in this important matter, at q time
when special effort Is being made
to attract outside capital and in
crease our population. BY all means
let the arc lamps remain, but for the
sake Of economy have them raised
to q height where they can do some
good. Abolish the gas IL 1t Is possible
to do so.

The Fire Alarm Boxes.

Considerable trouble has been ex-
perienced with the keys to some Of
the alarm boxes. In some quarters
of the city when q fire breaks out
the person sending in the alarm, in
addition to the key, also open the
box with prayer-or something that
sounds very much like II, on account
OF the stubbornness OF the keys. To
obviate this Col. Gray issues the
following manifesto:
Ii should be understood by all
holders of keys to the alarm boxes
that the keys are all alike, and that
the locks on the boxes are all alike |;
and moreover, that many Of the
boxes unlock little hard.
The person who first essayed forth
to give the alarm Of the fire at the
second ward school building last
Wednesday morning thought there
was something wrong about the key
he held, and sent for another one,
thereby losing q good deal Of time.
There Is not likely to be anything
wrong about these keys, little ener-
getic handling Of them is all that Is
needed. 1. H. GRAY,
Supt. Fire Alarm Telegraph.

Kind Words from DIR. McLaliin.

The following from the Topeka
AdrOcdte is a sample OF the notice
tine members of the Reform Press
association have given us, all Of
which are highly appreciated, but
modesty fcrbids reproducing all Of
them. We are sorry to chronicle
the fact that The Adrocdte sustained
quite loss from fire since its able
editor visited Salina.
Owing to the demoralized condi-
ton of our office last week we failed
to notice the bospitable entertain
ment of the members of the Reform
Press Association by &. b. Kirkland
at the Kirkland Publishing House In
Salina on the evening of October 20.
BY special invitation received dur
ing our session the members present
became the guests of Mr.. Kirkland
and were right royalty Toasted In the
rooms of his publishing house. After
partaking OF the bounties provided,
we were shown through the various
departments Of our hosts establish
ment, which Is one of which he and
the people Of Salina have reason to
be justly proud.
Mr.. Kirkland il conducting q gen.
eral book and job business, and some
of his work which we had the privi-
ledge Of examining was OF charac-
ter, both in style and workmanship,
to recommend itself wherever IL
may be seen. The proprietor is q
genial gentleman with whom it is a
pleasure to meet, and with whom IL
is also undoubtedly pleasure to do
business.
After looking through his estab-
office, where some time was pleasant
ly passed in listening to brief ad-
dresses by those present. One Of the
pleasantest reflections respecting
this hospitable reception so gener-
ously extended to our association Is
that Mr.. Kirkland Is q Republican,
but not one of the kind so common
in these days OF political degeneracy.
He is not one who will invent. pub
lish or credit any resolutions as COM
ing from our association that we did
not adopt. In short, he Is not one
who will prostitute his manhood to
the base purposes of his party. He
did not feel called upon to tell us
why he is still Republican, and we
did not consider it any OF our BUSH
ness. He has right to his political
convictions, and Is entitled to our
respect because he is a gentleman;
and because he is capable Of treating
others with respect, even though
they differ with him in opinion.
His business success Is evidently
and he has our best wishes
for lite continuance.
