BRITISH POLICY.

A British parliamentary commission
appointed to make an investigation and
report on the England labor question de-
clared:
1.-THE laboring classes generally, in the
manufacturing districts of this country,
and especially in the iron and coal dis
tricts, are very little aware of the ex-
tent to which they are often indebted
for their being employed at all to the
immense losses which their employers
voluntarily incur in bad times IN order
to destroy foreign competition and to
gain and keep possession of foreign
markets"
This policy of throwing surplus stocks
of British goods upon our markets is In
force today and but for our protective
tariff the result would he disastrous to
labor as well as to our markets.

The close of the last week Of July finds
congress practically through with all OF
its essential business excepting the sum
dry civil bill. Ordinarily this measure
could be settled in conference, and the
question of adjournment would not be-
come contingent on them. In the pres
ent instance, however, the disputed
measure involves the appropriation OF
many millions of dollars; and this fact,
on the eve OF national campaign In
which the question of governmental ex-
penditure will be an issue of considerable
weight, may enforce prolonged contest
between the two houses. Herein Is
found, unquestionably, the core OF oppo-
stion to that measure on the part of the
Democrats in the house. They are afraid
of the record for extravaganza they have
made; it deprives them of the campaign
thunder they calculated TO roll over the
country this fall. But the thunder will
roll, just the same.

HOMESTEAD'S CENSUS SHOWING.

An analysis of the census and the vote
of Homestead suggest some interesting
thoughts. The total population is given
at 7,9l1, and the number of men en-
ploved at the works is said to be 3. 800.
This shows that there is an unusually
large proportion of male adults in the
town. On the other hand, the vote of
the place at the last election was only
SO, or less than one-fourth Of the num-
Der of men actually employed in the
mills. This would indicate that very
large majority of the men in Homestead
are unnaturalized foreigners, and that
the town is not the home of model
American workingmen that it has been
represented TO be.
Further examination of the vote dis
credits the theory heretofore set up to the
effect the strikers have been deluded vic
TINS of the Republican party, for the
figures show that of the S45 votes Patti
son got Az and Delamater 400. If, there
fore, the Homestead iaborers have been
deceived by the Republican orators aad
made to believe that they would get
higher and constantly increasing wages
as necessary result of protection, only
406 OF them have any right to plead such
deception and to claim that they hare
been hoodwinked.
The fact would appear to be that the
american workingman" does not pre-
have not heard that the American work
ingmen are in any way opposed 10 the
acts and the methods which have char
acterized the outbreak. If they have
been overruled by the majority
and If the barbarous violence in
cident to the lockout had been
deplored by them the country has
heard no whisper and detected no sign
TO that effect All that we have seen
and all that has been told or limited to us
in the promises goes to warrant the con-
clusion that every manifestation of an
srchistic lawlessness at Homestead has
been approved by the American" a.
heartily as the foreigner. If the accred-
tied leaders have done or wished TO do
anything in the direction of temperance
and moderation, we have yet to hear
of il.
Be this as il may, however. il seems
| quite clear that Homestead, so far from
beng representative community Of
American work;ngmen, Is much more OF
representative hctbed of foreign aGi-
tators. An overwhelming majority OF
the population appears TO be made up Of
/ imported malcontents who have no SYM
1 pathy with our free institutions. and
who are entitled to rs ht.le sympathy
from those who honor and respect them.

PROHIBITION FAILS IN TORT SCOTT

For many months the authorities of
the city of Fort Scott have been having
the experience for years had by some of
the other cities of .he state, touching the
enforcement of the prohibitory law.
Arrests have been made and jointists
jailed and fined, and while the costs OF
these prosecutions did not abate IN
amount neither did the joints In num-
Der. The other day in response to a call
two hundred representative citizens, III
Guiding the county attorney and other
officers, met to discuss the situation out
side of all parties and politics, and to de-
termine what, under the circumstances,
would probably be the best course. The
county attorney explained the situation
and Judge Biddle, editor OF the
Monitor, was made chairman. The po-
lice commission law was denounced IN
some of the speeches as bitterly as ever
it was by the EAGLE. Some OF the
speakers were forresUbmission, some for
an attempt to enforce the law more
strictly and others for the resignation OF
the police commissioners. The meeting
practically concluded that hereafter the
city must have revenue from the vio-
lators of the law, and before adjourn
ment the following resolutions Were
adopted without opposition:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
meeting that the police commissioners of
Fort Scott have done all that was prac-
ticable, reasonable and right in their
endeavors to enforce the prohibition
laws of the state.
Resolved, Further, That it is the sense
of this meeting that it is impracticahle
and impossible for any police commits
sioner to enforce the prohibitory law in
the city Of Fort Scott.

Simpson is such fool as to rejoice over

ton as to Jerry's reasons for opposing
the opening of the strip, but Jerry made
him take it back. Bot the sockless hasn't
