If this Worlds Fair appropriation
bill gets tangled up any worse it will be
incomprehensible to the average reader,
unless accompanied by an explanatory
diagram. As we understand the situa-
ton, the people Of Chicago have raised
Or agreed to raise something over eight
million dollars towards the big show.
The estimates require an expenditure of
five millions more. The fair being a
national undertaking, Congress has been
asked to provide this. There has been
popular proposition to use this appro-
priation in the purchase of silver to be
coined into souvenir half dollars of
special design, about twelve million of
them. The presumption, reasonable
one, is that practically all of these half
dollars would soon be withdrawn from
circulation and boarded away as keep.
sakes. What has become of this feature
OF the proposed appropriation we do
not know. But, in tho Senate, the Sab.
batarians and Prohibitionists proceeded
to get their work in. The latter sue
ceeded, in committee, in handicapping
the appropriation with condition
that nobody should be served with d
mug Of beer or glass of wine within
the exhibition grounds. The Senate. as
body, could not swallow this and
struck it out: but, under the leader.
ship Of the pious and holy Mr.. Quay, Of
Pennsylvania, it went to the other ex-
treme and tackled on Sunday closing
amendment-th effect of which would
of course be to debar hundreds of
thousands of workirgmen in and
around Chicago of the privilege Of
visiting the fair on the day that would
best suit their pockets; while, on the
other hand, il would force visitors from
more distant points TO 60 to church or
elsewherc-particularly elsewhere. Now
the House has struck out the five mil
lion dollars but left the Sunday closing
provision in, which strikes us as akin to
cutting off u mans legs and then re-
curing him to wear patent leather
boots. The matter now goes to con-
ference committee, which it is to be
sincerely hoped will agree upon some
course that shall help the fair without
Gripping it.

The Pinkerton brothers have sub
mitted to the Congressional committee n
statement of the workings of their sys-
tenn which recently eliminated in blood
shed at Homestead. They put the best
face on the matter of course. Nominally
the men they furnish are "private
watchmen." In the Homestead case
they claim that it was distinctly agreed
upon between their agency and the
Carnegie company that these 800 watch
men, who had been ordered by Mr..
Prick at So per day week before the
mills shut down and while negotiation
over the new wage scale was still pend
Eng, were not to be armed without
special legal authority or as deputy
+, sheriffs." The boxes containing the
arms and ammunition were shipped
from Chicago and were taken on the
same barges to Homestead along with
the "watchmen," but the "watchmen"
We're not to be placed in possession of
them, even constructively, "until they
were on the property of the company at
homestead and until after they had
been sworn in as the sheritf's deputies"
That they were distributed before this
was because the strikers" had COM
menced firing and it became necessary
for the "watchmen" to use the arms in
self-defence. The Pinkerton brothers 90
on to plead that they are engaged in a
legitimate business, and the right to
protect ones property and to hire and
supply servants and agents to assist in
so doing is one that is inherent in and
essential to the ownership and control
of such property.
We believe we have stated their case
fairly. As to the contention that the
Pinkerton "watchmen" acted only on
the defensive and did not use the
weapons that were at hand-although
theoretically not in their possession
until after they had been fired upon,
that is point to be determined by the
courts and juries after weighing all the
evidence to be submitted in the prose-
cutions Instituted by the Carnegie man
agers-which evidence, so far as it has
been given through the press, is decid-
eddy conflicting. twill be the province
of the same juries to consider whether
these 300 men came to Homestead in
the night as legitimate "watchmen" or
as lawless rioters whose presence in
armed and armored boats was menace
to the public peace. There is evidently
q line of demarcation somewhere be.
tween the business of supplying "pri-
vate watchmen" and the raising, equip
ping and transporting from state to
state of considerable bodies of men en-
ployed to levy war, if they meet with
resistance.-and we are confronted with
the fact that this body of men did meet
with resistance-stubborn and success
full resistance-and that, whether right.
fully or wrongfully, the American
public at large is well satisfied that the
resistance was successful and is practi.
cally unanimous in condemnation of this
lind of "Pinkertonism."

This kind of Pinkertonism has been
an outgrowth of the protective system.
The Pinkerton brothers say in their
statement to Congress "The agency
was founded in 1850 by the late Allan
Plnkerton, and during the last twenty
years it has frequently furnished private
watchmen to protect the property OF
individuals and corporations during
strikes" And one of the Pinkertons
said to an Associated Press reporter i'm
mediately after the Homestead outbreak:
"We have always done Mr.. Carnegie's
work" There was none of this kind
OF work" to do until men who
dictated tariff duties and reaped the
greatest advantage from them began to
deny to American laborit proportionate
share of the protection which was so
lavishly promised and, in many cases,
to supplant that labor with cheaper
workingmen imported largely from dis
tricts of Europe where similarly "pro-
tective" tariffs have not awaited to bring
labor more than one-half the remunera
ton received in the free trade England
which is such fayorite bugaboo of the
protectionists.
Perhaps it may be of interest to read
how this kind of Pinkertonism is re-
garded in this free trade England where
we are daily told that labor is being Oh.
pressed to restitution. We quote from
an article in the London Chronicle Of

We doubt not that the predatory
barons of the dark ages could have fur
nished as plausible a Justification Of
their business" as the Pinkcrton
brothers have pleaded in extenuation Of
their act in supplying the Carnegie
company with these 300 "priyate watch
men" Certainly the British crown
could have done SO in Justification Of its
employment of German mercenaries
during our revolutionary war. They
were men, like the Pinkerton "watch-
men, who contracted at so much per
day or month to go where they were
sent and fight when they were required,

a Hitch in the Republican Situation That
Troubles Chairman Carter-- Probable
Personnel of the Democratic Campaign
Committee Whitney and the Advisory
Committee.

NEW York, July 26--Chairman Carter
| and Secretary Louis Il. McComas of the
Republican national committee returned
to the Fifth Avenue Hotel this morning
after Sundays outing, Mr.. McComas
said he had seen Mr. Plat for u few min
u'es at Manhattan Beach, but there had
been nothing in the nature Of conference
between them.
The failure of the state executive com
mittee to hold the meeting that has been
promised now for the past three weeks is
taken as proof positive that President
Harrison has not yet made his bargain
with Mr.. aThomas G. Plat. The latter
opinion of the candidate Of his party has
been an open secret for the past year. 1t
can be found set out at length in the pro.
eeediigs of the Minneapolis convention
His combination with ex-senator Warner
Miller still holds the energies of the state
committee in check. Without the consent
OF Mr.. Plat the efforts of any national
committee to go to work organizing the
state Of New York do not offer a very
promising outlook.
The report that Mr.. Carter brings the
necessary overtures for harmony from
Washington waits confederation until the
executive committee does meet. Then il
is also said Mr.. G.. n Bliss and the Union
League Cub will kick. They say that the
campaign managers won't get any money
II they deal with Mr. Plat; the latter re-
torts that they won't get any votes unless
they do. With this sort of dilemma be-
lore them there is no wonder that the OK
executive committee hesitates to meet 1t

lican advisory committee had already been
