Sheriff McCleary has limited that he
will arrest several of the leaders in the
battle against the Pinkertons. In such
action as this lies the greatest danger OF
bloodshed With the cool heads Of the
leaders withdrawn from the people, an.
thority among the workmen will cease.
and infamed talk will incite the hot
blooded strikers to something reckless.
"A conflict with the troops would result
disastrously to the town and those en-

The bulk Of workmen realize this, but
there is no telling how radical will be

them to such an extent that an attempt
will be made to prevent the non-union
men from going to the mill. 1t is the
general belief here that Mr.. Frick will
man the mill with new workmen as soon
as possible. He has practically admitted

New YORK as Kip!ing Sees 1t

Rudyard Kiphng. the young novelist who
has won fame so quickly that there are
many who wonder whether his merit il
equal to his prete usions. has given his i'm.
preston of New York city in brief article.
They are not impressions that are calcu-
lated to give pleasure to New Workers. II
what he says is halfway true, there is rea-
son why they should feel condemned for
their failure to discharge their duties as
citizens.
Mr.. Kpling says the blame for the evils
of government for which the city suffers
does not rest wholly upon the gentlemen,
chiefly of foreign extraction, who control
the city. These find a people made to their
hand-a lawless breed ready to wink at one
evasion OF the law II they themselves may
profit by another. and in their rare leisure
hours content to smile over the details OF a
clever fraud"
In closing his article Mr.. KipIing says:
1T is neither seenly nor safe to hint that
the government OF the largest city in the
states is q despotism of the alien by the alieI
for the alien. tempered with occasional In
surrections Of the decent folk"
Mr.. Kipling makes the condition o
affairs in New York appear to be nucl
worse than IL is, but there is not much doub
that the government is a despotism. Mr.
Croker has almost absolute power. H
holds no office, but all who do take thei
orders from him.

Mole and Female Gossips.

Let the Dance Go On.

Ministers Of the gospel may preach
against dancing and conferences of religious
bodies may condemn it, but the young folks
will continue TO indulge In it. 1t has been
a popular amusement from time immemo-
rial. and 1t is likely to be as long as time
lasts.
The question whether dancing Is harmful
has been discussed within the last few days
in the conference of the Northern Methodist
church. now in session at Omaha. A petit
ton was presented to that body asking that
the church discipline be changed so that
dancing might be INDUCED in by members
Of the church without breaking the church
laws. The petition, Of course, was denied.
But it is extremely doubtful whether the ac-
ton of circumference was wise. At least
one of the members of the conference,
Bishop Foster, OF Boston, thought it was
not. He advised that the discipline with
| respect to dancing be relaxed. He thought
| the young folks ought to be permitted to
dance If they want to. Doubtless the bishop
enjoyed dancing with the girls in his youth
| full days and sympathtzes with the young
folks
The youths and maidens of the Methodist
| church are going to dance even if the dis
| cipline says 1t Is sinful to do so. They don't
thing dancing is sinful. They do mot see
any harm coming from it, and therefore
they will continue to disobey the church
and refuse to listen to the admonitions of
their religious teachers.
Doubtless good many young people of
the Methodist church are kept from joining
the church by the prohibition Of dancing
| by the church's discipline. They don't
| want to join the church and then break its
laws, aud, hence, they do Rot enter into
full fellowship with the church until
their dancing days are over.
| There are opportunities for harm in
dancing, but there are opportunities for
harm in almost everything. If young men
and young women are properly trained
at home dancing will be an innocent amuse-
ment to them, whether INDUCED in at home
or elsewhere.

The Break IN the Navigation Laws.
The question whether the law that has
just been enacted admitting two magnia-
cent steamers Of the Inman line. the City Of
New York and the City of Paris, to Aneri-
can registration is a wedge that will finally
open the way for free ships is being gener-
orally discussed. Already movement In
that direction has been made. Represent
alive Fithiau has obtained from the COM
mittee on commercial marine and fisheries
favorable report on his free ship bill, and
1t is not improbable that the House will pass
the bill 1t is not probable. how
ever, that the Senate will
pass IT, The republicans are
not Jet ready to acknowledge that their
policy, which shuts out from American
registry all foreign built ships. is wrong.
But they seem to be beginning to doubt
whether their policy Of protection Is right.
10 the last congress they opened the door a
little way to free trade when they adopted
MIR. Blaine's reciprocity scheme, and they
opened it again when they consented to sus-
pend the navigation laws long enough 20
permit the two Iumen steamers to acquire
the right to sail under the American flag.
If it is not the purpose to admit other
foreign built steamers to the privileges of
American registration upon similar condi-
tons It is difficult TO see how the law admit
ting the Inman steamers can be defended.
The owners Of the Inman ships wanted
them admitted for the reasons that the
ships would be more popular and to get tho
large subsidy which has been recently pro-
vided for carrying the European mails. 1t
is true that the agreement is
that two more ships, equal in
every respect to those admitted, shall
be built in American ship yards, but il that
agreement should not be complied with,
how will it be possible to deprive the City
of New York and the City of Paris of the
privilege which they have obtaineds
Democrats have nothing to say against
the step toward free ships which has been
taken. 1t is In accordance with their
policy, but they think the republicans, hav-
ing virtually admitted their policy is wrong,
ought to advance more rapidly in the new
direction they have taken. An opening
having been made for free ships, It is not
improbable that the time is not distant
when many foreign built ships will be ads
mitted to American registry.
