HOMESTEAD.

The lesson is taught anew that in col
lisions or this character capital is sure
to win whenever labor resorts to violent
means to accomplish its ends and thus
offendS large body of public opinion.
Rochester Herald.
The strike has been extremely costly
to the men, the company, the county
and the state. and nothing has been ac-
compliShed by it except the unneces-
sary demonstration that violence on the
part of strikers does not accomplish any
good. Philadelphia Ledger
The costly lesson of this Homestead
strike is not likely to be forgotten by
either side. The material injuries IN
f1icted may be speedily repaired; but 1t
will require years TO restore the shat
tered bond OF confidence and mutual re-
gard between employer and employee
Philadelphia Record.
Although the strike at Homestead has
not been declared off. it is practically
ended, and the men are going back to
work. 1t is useless for workingmen to
fight their employers when the latter
are supported by large army of unem-
ployed, all eager to work on any terms.
st. Louis Giobe-Democrat.
As an object lesson on the dishonesty
of the claim that the protected indus
tries made voluntary increase in wages
because the tariff enabled them to do so.
IL attracted general attention. But for
the violence which accompanied the
stages of the movement, the strikers
would have had universal sympathy
and what they lost in this regard they
almost regained through the unwisdom
of their mployers.-Detroit Free Press.
Struggles like these are at their best
complete loss to industry, source OF
suffering to labor and threat to social
order. The case itself is a demOnStra-
ton of the need of some reasonable re-
sort to take its place. Voluntary arbi-
tration, a new organization of industry,
either on the cooperative or profit
sharing plan, or, as more immediate in
its results. spirit of Cancellation and
liberation on both sides ought to be so
sought as TO render impossible any
more such conflicts as that which has
given Homestead unfortunate nOtoriety
for the past six Notwithstanding Dis
patch.
Most strikes, as the history of labor
shows, fail for one cause or another
by bad leadership. The conduct of the
revolt fell into the hands of men who
had no appreciation of tue gravity O
the issues involved, who were more con
cerned with their personal nOtoriety
than with the general good. Upon then
falls the responsibility of the shocking
tragedy of last July and the score o
crimes and fatalities that have followed
! i'll its train. Their fault it is that strik
erS have forfeited great part of tht
public sympathy which is essential Il
every strike, and which. in the begin
ming. certainly belonged to the Home

learn to respect themselves and their
vocations as they should, we shall not
only have less lawyers, doctors and
statesmen, and much higher average
race: but labor will, by moral and not
physical force. have torn down the bars
of caste. We shall then have less of
the plutocrat and more equal distri-

should, the scorn Of the plutocrat. will
be a harmless shaft, In the middle
ages Europe was torn up with terrible
labor disturbances. At length the la
borers became thinkers and evolved the
cooperative concerns which became the
wonder of the world. Thought accom-
plished for the workmen what violence
could not. Violence is destructive,

The late Duke of Cambridge was in
the habit of thinking out loud, so to
speak. and there were times when his
audible expression of opinions was at
least inopportune. 1t is related of him
by London journal that during divine
service, whenever the rector said LET
us pray" his royal highness would
answer in voice audible throughout
the church, AYE, to be sure; why not?"
Once at the opera. after the duke had
swept the house with his glasses, he
called out in tone that reached from
pit to dome. "Whv. declare, there are
not half dozen pretty girls in the
house-noE half dozen, not half

who was prominent member of the
Funeral Reform association. 1t had
what is called 'open trellis- work"

herbs and eyergreens. There have
been many people of recent
years, some of them prominent
in other ways, who have had
their collins made to order long before
the approach of death. Maybe the orig
inator of the fashion was Lord Nelson,
who used to keep standing upright in
the cabin of the Victory coffin that an
admirer presented him one birthday
anniversary. and in this coffin his lord
ships remains were at last put to rest.

BLAINE.

1t is becoming sadly apparent that
JAMES G.. BLAINE will never again
enter public life. The malady which
has for a period of years made Mr..
BLAINE's health matter of general
concern appears now to be approaching
elimination which can be looked for
ward to only with dread. Of the exact
nature of this malady the public mas
never been informed, and it has no de-
: sire to pry into the secret so sedulously
guarded by the sick mans family and
physicians. But. whatever it is, the
malady is evidently one which cannot
be baffied by even the utmost resources
of SCIENCE. Release from the cares of
Office has not brought the relief that
was hoped for. and after several
months of absolute rest Mr.. BLAINE
lies on sick bed in a much worse con-
dition than when he resigned his COM
mission as secretary of state. He may
be spared to his immediate friends for
an indefinite period, but his public
career is like book that is written. 70

which his life has moved his biographers
will need to add but one more chap

ETERNAL VIGILANCE.

The Democracy cannot afford to sit
silent and contented feeling that its
work is fully accomplished. The cause
of tariff reform cannot make a step UNI
less the party of tariff reform controls
all the departments Of the central gov
eminent. Should the Republicans
maintain their majority in the United
States senate, the patriotic plans of
GROVER CLEVELAND would fail of con-
summation. The anti-monopolsts have
carried the legislatures of states
enough TO oyerturn the enemy'S ascend
ency in this body unless the popular
will is defeated by dishonest and cor
rupt methods. But there is danger that
it will be defeated in just this way. A
party which stole the presidency IN
1876, which more recently stole two
senators from the commonwealth
of Montana. and which still more
recently did not hesitate to desc
crate the graves of Union soldiers
in Indiana in the hope of fastening the
crime on the Democracy and bring
ing it into popular dIscredit-Snch
party will not stop short OF desperate
expedients if they promise it an adj
vantage. The new legislatures Of Cali
fornia, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska
and Kansas are very close. BY unseat-
ing few members and buying few
more. the antl-monopoly majority can be
changed into minority. The Democ-
racy must be vigilant lest this happen.
There iS rnom for n DAVID Il. Hill, in
each of these states. There is room for
a courageous leader who will hold his
party we'll together, preserve discipline
and circumvent the plots of the Repub-
licans. The triumph of the right is i'm

THE BORDEN CASE.

1t is reported that the grand jury will
fail to find true bill against Miss LIZ
zIE BORDEN for the murder of her
father and mother. The strength of the
circumstantial evidence presented
against Miss BORDEN at the prelimi-
nary examination was such that the
grand jury would not be justified in dis
charging her unless new evidence has
accumulated tending to discredit the
testimony of important witnesses at the
preliminary hearing. Ii such new EVIL
dence has accumulated the announce
ment will be received with great salts
faction by the partisans of the accused
throughout the country. There has
been widespread conviction of Miss
BoRDEN'S innocence, based chiefly on
the assumption that the crime was too
horrible to have been conceived by wom-
ans brain and executed by woman's
hands, and was particularly impossible
in view of the relation SubSisting be-
tween the accused and the two MUIR
dered persons. But however much
weight this plea might have with the
emotional public, it would scarcely suf-
fee to clear Miss BORDEN in the eyes
of a jury of men sworn to present their
findings in accordance with the evil
dence adduced. If, therefore, the grand
jury decides that Miss BORDEN shall
not be held for trial, it may be
accepted that the decision is hot the
result of undue sympathy for the ac-
cused nor of general theorizing on the
subject of her capacity for planning
and executing the crime, but is deter
mined strictly and impartially in &C
cordance with the established facts in
the case. 1t will be almost national
blessing If such decision can be
reached, however disappointing to dis
eased minds which revel in the annals
of crime. The wide publicity promised
to all the shocking details of this case,
should Miss BORDEN come to trial,
makes it subject for general congrat-
ulation that the grand jury may see its
way clear to discharging the accused
without trial.

THE sELRY AYENuE LINE.

The GLOBE, in all earneStneSS and
seriousness, again invites the attention
of the mayor and city council to the
character of the service Afforded by our
street railway company on the Selby
avenue cable line during the busiest
hours of the day. From every quarter
of the country comes the news Of the
enormous profits of city transportation
companies. Since the application OF
electricity 10 purposes of locomotion
such enterprises pay big dividends even
in small towns. The stock of the COM
panieS in the larger municipalities sells
at the highest prices. The Brooklyn
company was recently disposed of to
syndicate at $50, i'll spite of its well es-
tablished reputation for wretched Serv-
ice, a heavy bonded Indebtedness
and the admitted presence of an
ocean of water in its capitaliZa-
ton. The st. Paul company enjoys a
franchise of most extraordinary liber
ality. 1t has the practically unre-
stricted use of every street in the city,
and pays nothing in return for Its
privileges. Its profits on its invest
ment must be very satisfactory. 1t is
not asking too much to insist that 1t

THAT DELECrABLE PAsTIME.

Ever since Sir WALTER RALEIGH in
vented smoking, the goddess Nicotina
has had a numerous following. Her dew
otees have burned continual incense
to her. although the ''counterblaste'' of
King JAMES [. has always found an
echo in the wall of some Meta Lauder,
writing sageIy OH the tobacco problem,
or among the anti-tobacco fraternity.
Nothing daunted, Nicotina has girded
this little orb from West to East in her
march of conquest. Four hundred years
ago this very month, we are told,
COLUMBUS discovered tobacco in the
West Indies, and not long afterwards
Sir WALTER smoked the first imported
Havana.
Tobacco has an honorable niche in
literature. Lord BACON said: sit COM
forteth the spirits and dschargeth
weariness." BEN JoNsoN and BEAU
MONT and FLETCHER, with perhaps
SHAKESPEARE, renewed their friend
ships over pipe. Sir ISAAC NEWTON
loved his pipe like true Englishman,
and had playful and gallant way OF
using the fingers of his lady friends to
press down the tobacco. STEELE wrote
his delightful essays with pipe in his
mouth, and ADDISON said his wittiest
things out of cloud Of smoke. DRYDEN
loved his pinch" first and then his
"whff;" and CoNGREvE and DEFOE
were nearly as fond of ga soothing,
long-stemmed clay'' as Was later CAR
LYLE.
If CHARLES LAMB said "Farewell to
Tobacco" calling it
Filth O. the mouth and fog o. the mind,
it was not till he had long been a fond
deyotee of Nicotina. The novels of ST r
WALTER SCOTT are redoent with to-
bacco. DICKENS, being a newspaper
man, smoked. of course. TENNYSON, as
poet laureate, was -wreathed in fragrant
clouds. STURGEON preached in defense
of nicotine comfort, and on one occa-
sion answered the pious remonstrance
of brother clergyman, saying he sin
tended to smoke good cigar to the
glory of God before he went to bed that
night" If SHELLEY, Poe and Tom
MOORE belonged to the anti-tobaccO
fraternity, their names are offset by
those of LONGFELL0W, LOWELL, AID
RICH and CLEMENS. BISMARCK once
said to circle of friends: 1.-THE value
of a good cigar is best understood when
ii is the last you possess and there is no
chance of getting another. At KONG
gratz had only one cigar"
All hail to the disciples of Sir WAL
TER RALEIGH, and long may they
smoke! Should they feel debarred from

THE GRAPES Are SOUR.

The present S0ur-grape attitude of
the Republican party is extremely di-
verting. Albeit VIGOROUSLY accustomed
