There is no reason why people should
stand amazed and wonder at the turbu-
lent condition of a large portion of the
labor world. These strikes, conflicts,
opposition to law and the blood that has
been shed are the legitimate fruit of the
policy pursued by the lawmakers of this
and nearly every other country. The
men who rise in rebellion against the
effects of the present system of taxation
are to be pitied for their folly. Instead
of seeking the cause of their helpless
condition and discovering through what
power the monopolists hold them like
slaves, they waste their strength and
energy by demanding temporary relief
in the form of high wages, 1t must be
as plain as day to any man who is anx-
ious to know the truth that the skirmish
at Homestead is warning that a social
conflict is coming unless some radical
changes are made in the laws.
1t sounds very sweet to talk of capital
and labor lying down like the lion and
the lamb, but this has been tried so Of
ten and the result has always been so
one-sided that the lamb will be pardoned
for refusing to indulge again in these
demonstrations of brotherly love. Bet
ter for the millions of innocent lambs to
spend their time in tracing the power of
the lion back to its source, and by cut
ting off or curbing the supply of its
strength the lion will become very
timid and accommodating companion and
friend. Both will then be strong enough
to defend and demand their rights, but
powerless to oppress one another.

Killed by a Skyrocket.

An impromptu celebration that was
held in honor of the arrival of delega-
tion of Turner's from Freeport, Ills, was
suddenly brought to close by the al
most instant killing of man. A sky
rocket, supposed to have been set off by
a crowd of young boys, penetrated his
forehead, and part Of the stick was
broken off and left imbedded in his
brain.
AS the procession reached the corner
of Blue Island avenue and Polk street
Philip Knopp, who had been watching
the parade from the sidewalk, was struck
by skyrocket. The mans head and
face were covered with blood, and
Officer Halle, calling assistance, carried
him into a neighboring drugstore. DIR.
Lahey was summoned, and Knopp was
sent at once to the county hospital On
the way DR.. Lahey extracted part of the
stick, eight inches in length and three
eighths of an inch square. 1t had en-
tered just above the right eye, and had
gone through the brain until the end
was blunted against the back of the
skull. Knopp lived only few moments.

1t is said that the president is dissatis-
fed with Campbell as chairman of the
national committee, now that he has
found out his antecedents. Why not
appoint John Wanamaker in his place?
Wanamaker has demonstrated his abil-
ity to extort campaign funds from the
monopolists, and can probably do it as
well as Campbell. Besides, this would
take Wanamaker out of the cabinet, and
that would be something toward making
the president popular.-Boston Herald.

The Amalgamated association speak
ers who at a meeting at Homestead a
short time ago said that they had voted
for high tariff and got high fences,
Pinkerton detectives and militia, will
have to change that little and admit
that with these have been given also hot
water, search lights and fortified and
loopholed stockade. Mr.. Carnegie, one
of the chief beneficiaries of the protec-
tive tariff, is the gentleman who is cut
ting down the wages of these men and
forcing them to accept the reduction or

Cowboy Sailors Not just the Thing.

Captain Hanson, Of the new schooner
Spray, on her maiden voyage from the
Suislaw river, in Oregon, had lively
experience with cowboy sailors. With
six of this new variety the captain put
to sea. Hardly had he got outside when
a strong southeast gale came up. The
schooner rolled fearfully and the cow
boys became terribly sick and lay in a
heap in the forecastle perfectly helpless.
The captain and his mate succeeded in
lowering the foresail, and with the main
sail and iibs set the schooner was driven
before the gale at terrific rate. Sew
eral seas were shipped and one of the
cowboys was washed against the lumber
on deck, breaking his leg. When the
weather moderated the captain put into
Port Townsend, where the injured cow
boy sailor was sent to the Marine hos
pital. Two sailors were engaged and
the schooner made the trip down in
twelve days. The five cowboy sailors
have decided not to go to sea any more.

But now comes the report that Mr..
Carnegie is to make cut in wages. The
laborers expected rise, for had he not
predicted that result? And is he not a
practical man? The Mckinley bill is in
full blast, but where is the promised
millennium? Instead of raising wages
they are to be lowered. Mr.. Carnegie
has managed to make both ends meet
under the beneficent influence of the
high tariff, but his laborers are here
after to receive only half loaf. The
proprietor of the steel works has a
larger income than he can spend, but
the men at his work benches and forges,
with reduction of 80 per cent. their
incomes, are well nigh desperate.-New

Hypocritical Twaddle.

1t is matter of history that while
riding on the top wave of Republican
favor, yelling about the "ennobling of
American labor" in order to delude
American workingmen into voting the
Republican ticket, he (Carnegie) was Sc
cretly contracting for Italians, Huns
and Bohemians, whom he imported to
this country to take the place of the
American workingmen in his employ
who demanded that they receive more
than starvation wages for their labor

WITH the farmers of the West groan-
ing beneath load of mortgages and the
workingmen of the East struggling
against reductions in their pay, is it any
wonder the Republicans acknowledge
the outlook for success is decidedly blue?
The promised prosperity that Americans
were to enjoy under the workings of the
Mckinley bill has not made its appear
ance, and never will while the nation
upholds tariff or indirect tax law.

THE Republican party knows that the
threatened force bill prevents it from
ever breaking the solid South, and
under the leadership of the Philadelphia
Press all the monopolistic organs in the
state have revived the civil war again.
They are fighting all the old battles and,
of course claiming credit for every vic
tory. Subscribers of some Republican
sheets have digested an awful amount of
rubbish if they read what the editors
try to write about.

Beating His Way Around the World.


An American from Boston has reached
Paris on voyage around the world,
personally conducted by himself under
entirely novel circumstances. His
avowed object is to complete the whole
trip without the expenditure of any
money whatever, and, according to his
own statement, he has already crossed
the ocean and visited England and Ger
many in accordance with the conditions
of his self imposed task, which also con-
tains the stipulation that be must do no
work on the voyage, Needless to say
that our travellers rather unusual
methods do not meet with the approval
of all the hotel keepers whom he honors
with his custom, and in Berlin be under

ing to pay his bill.
The only wonder is that this unusual
kind Of traveller does not spend most of
his time in jail, but, needless to say, he
is gifted with an unlimited supply of
what may be best described as "self
confidence" and is past master in the
peculiarly American art of "bluffing."
As he himself puts it, "If | can only
make man laugh I've got himr and
certainly there is a sublime assurance
about his system which must force
smile even from his victims. Our cir
cumnavigator has, of course, not set
himself any particular route for his
voyage, as he is dependent on free
passes," and has to be content with what
he can get in that direction. Thus, to
reach Paris from Berlin-as the railway
companies declined to oblige him-Mr.
Cook travelled via Bremen and London.
He is now hoping to reach the Riviera,
but what his itinerary will be is matter

Why They We're Not Passed.

The reaching of the end of the fiscal
year without the passing of the general
appropriation bills is not by any means
a novel experience. This year the ap-
preparation bills would long since have

senate had added extravagant amend
ments, with the hope of destroying the
Democratic claim to economy, and stub
bornly stuck to them. Such are the real
facts, and the country knows them

RepublIcans Really "Rattled. ~

That the Republicans are badly scared
about Illinois is shown not only by the
appointment of the big four attorney as

"The Same Campbell"

President Harrison's idea, as disclosed
by Senator Farwell, is that "the same
Campbell" was too bad to be collector
at Chicago, but is just bad enough to be
a successor to Quay as chairman of the

idea, according to the latest advices
from the west, is that he is too good for
the job expected of him. Mr.. Harrison

A Rule Which Doesn't Work.

Just as the Republicans are opening
the campaign with a ringing indorse-
ment of protection in their platform, it
is very unfortunate for them that An
drew Carnegie now proposes to reduce
the wages of his host of toilers from 10
to 80 per cent. Mr.. Carnegie's various
large iron industries enjoy the benefits
of high protection, policy which ac-
cording to Mr.. Harrison should result in
increased wages for the workingmen;
and yet this tremendous cut is proposed
under the full swing of McKinleyism.-

A Sad Commentary.

The Pittsburg situation is a sad COM
mentary on the workings of Mckinley
ism. In the last presidential campaign
Mr.. Carnegie contributed 100000 to
that cause, which he could well afford
to do; and then, as soon as Harrison was
elected, scaled his workingmen's wages
by 10 per cent. This year he was get
ting ready for another reduction, but he
seems to be having some trouble about
it. 1t is weary business-bad in every
way you look at it.-Cincinnati En-

If 1t were not for the grave importance
of the question it would be amusing to
notice how quickly the majority of the
Republican papers gave all possible as
sistance to the highly-protected manu-
facturer of Homestead. The biased and
garbled reports of the trouble printed in
the monopolistic organs opposed to Or
ganized labor made it appear that the
strikers were cold-blooded murderers
and assassins instead of being protectors
of their little homes and positions. The
men were buncoed into giving their sup
port to protection. and they are right in
demanding share of the spoils which
Carnegie has heeced from the consumers
of his protected product.
