AN EXCELLENT INSTITUTION.

The dedication of the Childs- -Drexel
Home for Union Printers, at Colorado
Springs yesterday, was of more than suf-
ficient Importance to attract public atten-
ton and admiration. Six years ago the
nucleus of the fund which has built and is
to maintain this institution was provided
by a joint gift of $4,000 from 6. w.
Childs and A. j. Drexel to the Interna-
tional Typographical Union. The balance
of the money has been supplied by the
members of the craft themselves.
There is no better object for the efforts
of labor unions than the provision for the
comfort of its members as they reach an
age which units them to continue the
earning of their own living. While indi-
vidual thrift and a rate of wages permit
ting something to be laid aside should be
striven for, the accidents of life from
which no man is secure are such as to
make the founding of such havens of rest
most wise and beneficial proceeding.
incidentally, this gift from men whose
philanthrophy has always been remark
able for its lack of ostentation and its in
telligent distribution is especially remark
able as being the first recognition by
capitalists of any regularly organized
labor union. As these organizations grow
in strength with years and in knowledge
by the lessons of experience, they become
more and more fitted to be the instruments
for the better distribution of the surplus
of accumulated wealth.

THE ELECTRIC OCTOPUS.

The new facts with regard to the Elec'
trio Trusts manipulations at the Worlds
Fair, given elsewhere, are matters de-
manding most thorough and exhaustive
investigation. Audacious as trusts usually
are, there has seldom been so fragrant an
attempt to stifle competition as that re-
vealed in these recent unsavory develop
ments.
Apart from the general violation of the
law which calls for prosecution, there are
special reasons for a root and branch at
tack on the present offender. The Fair is
now a national, not to say international,
enterprise, and it must for that reason be
conducted on legal and economic princi-
piles since the national credit is at
stake with the whole civilized world.
So scandalous an attempt to smother free
and open competition and establish a
fraudulent monopoly at the Worlds Fair
would be obnoxious enough were Ameri-
can manufacturing interests alone con-
cerned. But since representatives of other
nations are struck at from this ambush of
favor and fraudulence, it would be abso-
1utely intolerable were the evil to 60 un-
checked. A prompt inquiry is necessary,
and it should be followed by a most speedy
reformation.

A SEVERE REBUFF,

The rough treatment to which Whitelaw
Reid's extradition treaty between America
and France was subjected in the Senate is
matter for surprise on all Sides The pub
lie is startled because the breezy freshness
of discussion and a division outside of
party lines occurs so seldom as to be hailed
asa novelty whenever itmakes its appear
ance. What must be Mr.. Reid's chagrin
can be best estimated by remembering the
pride with which he congratulated him
self, when interviewed in New York, on
the freedom which the President and Sec
retary OF State had secured for him in the
negotiations.
The ex-Minister must be already sorrow-
fully regretting his return to the country
where, as the manner is with all prophets,
he finds himself without honor. 1t will
be interesting to note Reid's action with
regard to the executive sessions which
have recently been made the excuse for
the downfall of his brother journalist of
Philadelphia. Has he still sufficient faith
in his own skill as a draughtsman of
treaties to wish that the nation should see
and judge it on its merits? Or is he so
smitten by the defeat of his pet produc-
tion that he will rest thankful for the COM
parative oblivion in which it is lost?
Time will show.

TAUGHT BY EXPERIENCE.

Our inter view with Hon. John Jar
rett, United States Consul to Birming-
ham, England, contains many statements
which we commend to the careful con-
siderations of free traders, and especially
to those who earn their bread in the sweat
of their brows Mr.. Jarrett is an ardent
trades-unionist, but he is convinced more
than ever by his three years experience
and observation in England that labor or
CARNATIONS can effect little or nothing
in country whose industries are unpro-
tected. His words come with peculiar
force in a year when the question
whether home manufactures shall be en-
couraged or neglected is once again to be
answered at the polls.
This Consul is a striking example of a
free-trader converted by the force of the
arguments which practical experience
brings to the subject, and as such he
knows whereof he speaks. American
worhngmen are not easily misled, and
there should be no doubt at all that they
will once again assert a true knowledge
of their own interests, and those of the
whole nation, by inflicting an overwhelm-
ing defeat on the casuists who seek to
compass free trade under covering of So
called tariff reform.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
FRIDAY, MAY l3. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
IHE YERnIC1,s Lesson.

The verdict of ''Not guilty, but must
pay the costs" brought in by the jury at
the end of the Mcclure trial establishes a
punishment of its own. While the agent
of the Law and Order Society escapes the
sterner penalties which would have fol-
lowed verdict of "Guilty as indicted, y
the finding of the jury nevertheless re-
mains one to which neither he nor his en-
ployers can at any time look back with
satisfaction.
The truth is that the contemplate
methods and spirit shown in the petty
suits against the newsdealers do not
rise above the level of barratry, and COM
mand neither the approval nor sympathy
of the public. When, therefore, the
parties bringing them are tripped up and
entangIed in the meshes of the law, they
are entitled to little consideration. Having
had the monopoly and entertainment of
running Justice mill of their own, they
have now entered upon different expe-
rience, in which the Commonwealth is the
prosecutor.
As many of the newsdealers, summarily
fined at the instance of the Law and Order
spies, claim to have been convicted on evi-
dence as wild as that given in Sharp's
case, there promises to ensue also an inter-
esting crop of civil suits for damages for
malicious prosecution. Meanwhile the re-
suits of the Mcclure trial will serve as a
temporary warning that an Alderman's
justice is not plaything for so-called de-
tectives, but that they must look sharp or
they will burn their fingers.

COLORADO SPRISeEs May 12.-This a gala
day for Colorado Springs. To-day the
Childs-Drexel National Home for Printers
was dedicated, 1t being also the siXty-third
anniversary of the birth of Mr.. Childs, one
of the patrons of the Home. The noted
philanthropist and party reached here yes

ceived by the citizens. Besides the party of
Mr.. Childs, the city has as it's guests over 800
members of the National Editorial Associa-

tion at San Francisco.
At 1880 this morning a special train ar
rived from Denver, bearing Governor Routt,
his staff, the Light Artillery ana 500 printers
and their friends Immediately upon the
arrival of the train the procession was
formed and marched through the principal
streets to the Home, which is situated about
a mile from the center of town. The Gov
ernor made the opening speech, and an

UNFOUNDED HOPE.

The latest theory with regard to the
Chinese exclusion bill is that little ami
mostly is likely to be provoked in the
Celestial Empire on account of the alb
sence of a patriotic spirit due to the i'm
mensity of the country and its internal
conditions. There is something in this
view of the matter, but the Chinese gov
eminent is very little dependent on the
feeling of the nation at large; and it
has shown a growing tendency of late
to be treated in diplomacy according
to the usual customs and courtesies of
international transactions, which augurs
i'll for those who rely on these con-
ditions for the safe-keeping of Amer
ican citizens and the preservation of our
commerce with the Oriental millions
China has developed many shrewd states
men in recent years, and it is little
likely that they will permit the injustice of
an abrogation of treaty rights to pass un-
noticed and without retaliation.

THE GENESIS OF THE WHITE CAP


The New York Commercial Adoertsser

Commonwealth of Tennessee adopted

to have fallen into disrepute in the State

having been sent to the penitentiary for
two years.
The fact that any of the cowardly gang
that resort to the methods of mob law to
crafty private revenge or enforce their
own notions have reached their proper
place in the penltentiary is subject for
congratulation. But in the interest of a
clear understanding of this public evil, is
not our cotemporary in error in speaking
of Indiana 1.-The State of the nativity OF
White Capism? 1t may be of the name,
but the thing itselfis transportation and
copy, even to the hood that disguises the
face, of the Kuklux Klan of two decades
ago, which throughout the South took
charge of the function of whipping
negroes and negro teachers when it did not
vary the proceedings by shooting. Even
Kukluxism was but the fruition of the
regulators of pro-slavery days. All of
them are varieties Of the generic rise of
mob law, by which towards and ruffians
set their collective will above the aw of
the land.
The plague Of mobs has afflicted many
portions of the South and West for some
generations Indiana has had its full
share, but it is hardly correct to credit it
with the origin of the plan of midnight as
sault by masked mobs which ragged in the
South for decade before the White Caps
were ever heardNof.

THE VARIABLE STARS.
A Swedish Astronomer Adds Additional
Information bout Them.

BosroN, May 12.-]Specfdi IA communica-
| tion from DR.. N. c. Duner, of Upsala OBJ
servatory, Sweden, published in Boston to-
day. furnishes an important addition to the
fund of information concerning variab le
stars, with special reference to the star
Cygni This isa variable star of the seventh
magnitude, which was discovered by DR..
Chandler in 1886. 1t has been constantly
watched since that time by Mr.. Yendell and
other observers of the Boston Scientific So
ciety, and upon this work in large measure
DIR. Duner bases his hypothesis. Dr. Duner
asserts that the star Y Cygni is composed of
two equally bright companion stars which
revolve about their common center of grav-
ity in an ellptical orbit. The eclipse of one
star by the other as viewed from the earth
Is the cause OF the variation in light for
bright star interposed cuts off light Just a
onectually as dark one. When one lies be-
hind the other the light of the front star
only is seen. But when in their motion they
lie side by side in the vault OF the sky
united light OF both stars is obtained.
DR.. DuDer finds also evidence of the per-
tnrbing influence of some outside body.
These stars are an immense distance from
tho earth, SO distant, in fact, that their rays.
travelling at the enormous velocity assigned
to light waves, are more than 100 years in
reaching here. They are so far away
scope they cannot be separated, but
appear as single star. We're the great
LICK telescope increased 400fold in power
these twins might possibly he seen as two
points of light. Unless, therefore, some un-
looked for advance is made in the construc-
tion of telescopes, thev will never be seen as
separate stars. But DR.. Duner's work, with
its basis Of mathematics, Is positively unas-
saflable ....--
The effect of this discovery upon the
theories of DR.. Chandler is worthy of note.
Chandler pointed out Y Cygni as being pos
stbly OF value in the determination OF cer-
tain matters relating to Algol, since from
the rapidity Of its variation it would shed
light on these matters in u much shorter
time. This hope is cut away by DR..
Duner's statement, and the likelihood
or discussing the principles which
act upon Algol in any other way
than from observation of Algol itself is
lessened. As to the motions of his star and
its relations to other bodies, those facts rs
stated by DR.. Chandler are not impaired,
since they, as well as Dr.. Duner's theory,
rest upon solid basis of mathematics
These recen discoveries, more perhaps than
any preceding work, give testimony to the
wonderful skill and accuracy of the modern
astronomer.

ROME, May ia long letter has been re-
ceived at the Vatican from Mrs. Potter
Palmer, requesting the participation OF the
Pope in the enterprise of the women's di-
vision of the Worlds Fair. The chief desire
expressed in the letter was that the Pope
should use his immense influence toward
obtaining from the Catholic women of the
world their cooperation in an exhibit show
ing the part taken by the women in the
civilization of the world.
The letter also asks the Pope to accord
what assistance he can toward securing the
participation of Catholics in that part of the
Exposition connected with relics and all ex-
hibits connected with the voyages of Column
bus. The Pope has decided to publish an
encyclical letter at the time of the Chicago
Fair-a letter on Columbus, in which he will
trace the lie of the discoverer, and in par
ticu!ar indicate the part taken by the Holy
of civilization.

GRAMMAR AMI PUBLIC MORALS

The relative bearing on each other and
the cosmic whole of grammar, rhetoric
and public virtue, is an interesting but
involved theme. The political organs of
q neighboring city have raised the question
whether Uncle Jerry Rusk's "I seen my
duty and done it, or what the Repub-
lican organ presents as Mr.. CIeveland's
rendering, "Clearly apprehending my
proper moral status in the premises, Ipro-
ceeded to adjust my conduct on those
lines, is most or least becoming to Amer
lean politics. Of course the Republican
journal declares that Mr. Cleveland
would not have done his duty half as
well as Uncle Jerry did hrs,' which
equally, Of course, the Democratic org an
denies.
AL of which leaves us about where we
commenced as to the relative value of
those arbitrary rules of speech called good
grammar, and the profuseneSS of set
terms called verbosity, in regulating pub
lie conduct. There may seem to be no
q priOri reason for thinking that grammar
has beneficial political influence. Never
theless it is one of the significant points of
the inductive process that the statesman
who declares that he "seen his duty
is very apt to organize scientific
bureau on purely partisan lines, with
the result that areas of high temperature
are rudely broken in upon by unan-
nounced cold waves, and the comparison
of the weather predictions with the real
tiles becomes a vanity and vexation of
spirit. Formal platitudes may sometimes
be an accompaniment of hypocrisy, but
the man who understands the principles of
correct speech is not the less likely to
comprehend the principles of public mo-
rality.
This may not be particularly decisive of

Clubmen Prepared TO BIackbau Him If

them waited through the entire evening pre-

ever, was not offered. 1t probably never
will be. Most OF those who seconded his
nomination for membership will probably
withdraw their names as his sponsors
Kipling's latest letter, in which he reviled
Americans in general and New Workers in
particular, has aroused a storm of indiana-
tion.
A member of the Authors Club said YES
terday: "Rudyard Kipling has no manners
at all. He is simply not q gentleman; more
than that, ne is a most contemplate cad,
He does not know how to behave among
gentlemen. knows nothing about the finer
instincts which govern association among
intelligent beings, and shows in word
and deed the unmistakable traits of the
disgusting blackguard. He may have
sought notoriety by his revilings of Ameri-
cans, but he has brought down upon himself
more con tempt than,any writer ever stag
gered under. His work shows that he is not
woefully ignorant. His actions prove him
