ABOUT RIGHTS.

Something that looks like peace pre-
have decided not to resist the State
authorities and no more bloodshed is ex-
pected. The real test of the situation will
come when the owners of the mills at
tempt to do business in them without re-
gard to the demands of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron and Steel Workers.
In this contest the workingmen have
claimed two ''rights"-one the right to
deal with "Pinkertons" as they see fit,
even to numbering them; the other to keep
non-union men out of employment in
Homestead. The Pinkertons are disposed
of, for awhile at least, and now, we sup
pose, there will be the usual loose talk
about the right of one man to make an
other man give him work and pay him
what he wants. This idea has
been somewhat popular in this
country. 1t has already made
a great deal of trouble, and it will proba-
bly, make more But it has not yet be-
come established in the common sense or
the law of the land. The Indications for
its triumph at Homestead are not encour-
aging. And even If it should appear to
triumph there it would be temporary
and delusive triumph. The true situation,
as it is and must continue to be, is thus
we'll stated by the New York
Sun: If a man has labor to sell, he must
find some one with money to buy it, or it
is of no more use to him than unused capi-
tai is to Mr.. Carnegie. If the man does
not like the price offered, he can reject it.
If the buyer does not like the price asked
he has the same liberty. Neither is obliged
to accept the bargain, though both are un-
der the same law which forces men to take
what they can get. If the laborer does
not want to work longer than he con-
tracted to give it, he can throw it up,
and the employer has the same right
to dispense with the laborer. The work
man can choose his employer, and the en-
ployer can choose his workman No law
can take away that right from either. The
workman can refuse to work and the en-
ployer to hire. Such is liberty.
The workingmen at Homestead have
chosen to contest the employers right to
hire such workmen as they want If the
employers continue to contend for their
right there can be no question about the
result And they must contend for it if
they wish to preserve their liberty.

AN KNGLISH COMPLAINT.

Last May the Democrats in the house
passed an act putting cotton ties and hoop
iron on the free list. They are hoping in
England that the senate will initiate the
action of the house. Iron, London pa
per, points out that there are only about
twenty one establishments in ''the States"
where hoop and band iron and steel are
manufactured, and that until the Mckinley
bill became a law America made only about
2 per cent. of the total quantities of cotton
ties in use in that country; the importa-
tions of English cotton ties advancing in
deed from IL, ,641 tons in 1884 to 60,305 in
1888. The act of 1890 adding one fifth
of cent per pound on the imported hoop
iron or steel from which cotton ties are
made, seriously checked this rapid in
crease; and official statistics for 1891 show
how rapid the decline has been in English
imports into the United States under
this head. Iron further remarks
as follows: Notwithstanding the
objections of the inimical (American)
manufacturers it is, however, exceedingly
satisfactory that the bill got through the
house. The repeal of the duty-which un-
der the act of 1883 was as much as 35 per
cent. should greatly stimulate our Brit
ish hoop iron and steel trade with the
United States, and the prospects are such
that English iron and steel masters may
be hopeful. We have already said that
the act of 1890 had serious effect upon
the English hoop iron and steel imports
into America, and as an illustration of
how marked that effect was, we may men
ton that in consequence of the measure the
annual value of our shipments of that de-
scription fell from over 1000 pounds to
5000 pounds. Even the former figure
was under S5 per cent. duty, and if this
is abrogated, we may fairly hope not only
to return to our previous record, but tc
surpass 1t.
The question seems to be, shall we turn
in and help the English iron and steel
masters or look after the interest Of on,
own countryl

some Life Stati.tic..


An eminent ststistician of Germany has
recently given ont the following as gene.
raj facts, proved by vital statistics: The
average length of life is thirty years;
twenty-five per cent. of mankind dies be-
fore attaining the age OF seventeen. OF
one thousand persons only one reaches the
age of one hundred years and six that of
sixty-fve years; 5.214, 900 die every year,
96, 4S0 every day. 4 ,020 every hour; 81 ev-
cry minute; the births amount the 80, 792,
600 every year. los. 800 every day, 4, 200
every hour, 20 every minute.
Married people live longer than the un-
married and civilized nations longer than
the uncivilized. Tall persons enjoy a
greater longevity than small ONES. Wo-
men have a more favorable chance of life
before reaching their fiftieth year than
men, but less favorable one after that
period. The proportion of married per-
sons TO single ones is as seventy five to one
thousand. Persons born in spring have a
more robust constitution than those born
at any other seasons. Births and deaths
occur more frequently at night than in the
daytime
Morning journal and courier., 1892-07-12

but to those persons who pay them such
wretehed wages as to prevent their saving
anything"
Such declarations as the above, coming
from sources 40 opposite, yet so disinter-
ested and trustworthy, require from MS
neither explanation nor establishment.
We cannot doubt their truth, and we
are inevitably shocked by them. They
preclude altogether any rational compari-
son of British with American workmen,
either as regards their present condition
or their prospects for the future. After
this showing we do not wonder that the
labor question is In the forefront of Eng
lish politics, or that the workingmen in
this country hang together as they do.
And far from rejoicing that these things
are so, every true hearted American must
wish that the situation were quite other
wise, and will hail the day when labor
here shall have wrought out by some
means its much needed deliverance from
these conditions. II. T.

THE BASE Ball GIRLS.
They win their Suit in one Court
and lose 1t in Another.
YET ANOTHER RHECK ATT TO-DAY.
Justice philips Gives them Judg.
ment for their Wages, and Justice
Rogers Decides that tho Property
does not Belong to the Managerial
Stay of. Judgment TIL To-day

The suits Of the two girl base ball
players, Flossle Atwood and Anna st.
Clair, against Manager Bruckner, Of the
American Stars female ball team, was
finished before Squire D. 2. Phillips yes
terday. The manager denied that he
had fined them for trivial causes, and
said they had given him great deal of
trouble, and hewas obliged to discharge
them. In doing SO he claimed to have
fulfilled the terms Of the contract re-
quiring him to give them two weeks
notice before dischargtng them.
The girls denied this and repeated
their story Of unjust fines, as printed in
the ISrEtIIdRScRR Monday.
After brief remarks by John A:
Howard, attorney for the plaintiff, and
S. o. Boyce, for the defense, Squire
Phillips gave judgment against Bruekf
ner for S25 in favor Of one OF the girls
and so in favor OF the other, the full
amount claimed, with the costs OF the
suit, and held the attachment on the
canvas fence, trunks and other para
phernalia good.
The advance agent Of the combina.
ton, man named Ashwood, claimed
the canvas as his property, while Miss
Nc ormack, member OF the nine, said
one OF the trunks was hers, Thisleftonly
q lot OF printed advertising matter to be
held as the property Of Manager Bruck-
ner. Ashwood and Miss Mccormack
entered interpleader suits before Squire
W. W. Rogers, and they were set for
hearing last night
The same attorneys appeared, and the
evidence was again gone over. Squire
Phillips was present as spectator, and
in the course OF the argument Mr.. BoYce
remarked that the former judgment was
not just
''0h," said Squire Phillips, II never
knew a lawyer who did not think de;
cision against his side was wrong.
Mr.. Boyce got very angry at this, and
resented the interruption hotly, saying
If the court would not prevent the an
noyance he would protect himself; that
he knew how to do it. There was an
other passage or two Of this kind, but
finally everything Quilted down, and the
justice decided that the property, ex-
cepting the printed matter, belonged to
Ashwood and Miss Mccormack, and
should be released from the attach
ment. He instructed Officer Carney to
give up tho goods, which he held as
special constable, but Mr.. Howard in:
terposed an arrest Of judgment, and
said he would ascertain by to-day il the
girls could give bond. The case was
set, therefore, for ten o'clock this fore
noon. In the meantime the American
stars remain in the city, and the games
they were announced to play have been
cancelled.

In Market YesterdAy--A New Industry for
Farmers.
The advertisement in last weeks
papers calling for one hundred and one
live owls had the effect to induce about
every other farmer coming into the
Fifth ward market yesterday morning
to bring in whole cage full Of the
birds owls large, tall, fat and small
Some were orphans, while others were
accompanied by father, mother, sisters
and Brothers. In fact, there were so
many owls that even the butchers got
on to it, and it did not take long for the
o. w. L. club to secure the number
wanted. What the boys intend doing
with the birds Is kept a profound secret,
but Of course the public will see them
in their parade or at their outing at the
park on the 22nd inst.
The club Is making great arrange
ments for the affair, and 1t will un-
doubtedly be the largest outing ever
given by social organization in this
vicinity. A large number of business
places have signifed their intention to
decorate for the parade, and the mayor
has been asked to issue a proclamation.

In view Of the smallpox epidemic
down the river the route mail agents
and the attaches Of the Wheeling post
office IRE all being vaccinated. The
dreadful scourge is often communicated
by mail, and the boys who handle the
mail do not propose to take any risks.
The Ohio River railroad trains have
not stoppedat the points where SMALL
pox exists since the disease was known
to prevail there, but as the trains ran
through the towns the mail has been
thrown into the cars. This the route
agents did not relish, and yesterday the
car doors were shut tight as the train
approached Mason City, TO prevent the
mails from being thrown in.
When the train reached the next safe
station and stopped, the mail agent was
surprised to be handed telegram from
the postmaster at Mason City, inform-
ing him that full mail pouch lay on
the back Of the car. That settled il.
The boys in the car had to handle the
stuff after all their precautions.
