THE STRIKE AT NEW ORLEANS.

As will be seen from the news published
elsewhere, the situation at New Orleans
is a very serious one. All business is
practically at a standstill, and even do
mestic life is affected by the strike of
nearly all the union men in the city. The
cause of the trouble is a contest as to the
recognition of unionism in dealings be-
tween employers and employees. The
whole struggle marks the logical develop
ment of the sympathy" strike idea,
which is really nothing more or less than
an extension of the area of unionist influ-
ence to combine unions as they combine
individuals to sink the individual in the
organization for the benefit of all.
So far, peace has been maintained and
law observed, and the unionists appear to
be better organized than their opponents.
But even if this felicitous recognition of
law and abstention from violence be con-
tinued, enormous suffering must result if
the strike have any duration at all. Of all
wasteful systems for the settlement of
differences, the strike or lockout is the
worst Which ever way the New Orleans
matter ends, it is to be hoped for the sake
of all concerned that it will end quickly.
Nothing. apparently, but an identification
Of the interests of men and masters in
a profit-sharing or other cooperative sys-
TEN can obviate this terrible wastefulness,
and such system should become general

of Arctic fox or that the inhabitants of
that region have certain characteristics?
1t might be of value to the Eskimos if
they had not the knowledge before Peary
did; but to the world at large it seems like
the most useless information ever gar.
nered at a similar cost Then, if the in
formation was of the utmost value, was il
necessary to hazard life by penetrating to
the Pole to get it? All this about fauna,
fl ora and ethnology might have been dis
covered, if it had not before been found,
just as well in regions where the accessi.
bility does not make the rescue of the ex-
plorers matter of constant doubt till it
is accomplished.
Another achievement of the Peary ex-
pedition-the demonstration "that Arctic
exploration may be reduced to mathe-
matte SCIENCE" to quote the Ledger's lam
guage-wou!d be very important if any
tangible results were to be secured in that
way. But when it produces information
barren to all but those who had the same
science before Peary was born, it is a
slight inducement to continue the hazards
of starvation and freezing, to say nothing
VI luC CUoG "blSi al debClluo ouOii
peditions.
The facts with regard to Arctic explora-
ton are that it was begun in the hope Of
discovering Northwest P, ssage for COM
merce from Europe to the Pacific. That
was long ago abandoned. o. late years it
has been simply method of seeking fame
by imperiling life and undergoing suffer-
ing. 1t has long been apparent that the
useful information to be attained by these
expeditions is nothing compared with the
cost of life and money that they entail.
1t was a wise decision of the United States
Government, after it brought back the
remnant of the Greeley party with its tale
of horrors, to send out no more Arctic ex-
plorers If private contributions continue
the empty work, the responsibility should
be clearly placed.
One claim on behalf of Peary, however,
promises a tangible result. If it is true
that he has proved that travel in the
polar regions can be pushed without
danger, it will deprive explorers of their
claim to fame, and thus put stop to the
entire foOlishness.

UTILITY OF PREDICTIoNs.

The predictions for the result of to-day's
election consist simply of the assertions
by Republicans that they will carry New
York and Indiana, with chance for New
Jersey, West Virginia and Connecticut,
while the Democrats assert that they will
carry New York and Indiana, with West
Virginia, New Jersey and Connecticut as
certainties. One side probably has just
the same amount of prescience as the
other, and that is none at all.
The fact is that while most of the cal
culations give New York and Indiana
their usual pivotal importance, the un-
certainties extend beyond those States
No doubt the possibility of inroads by the
Peoples party in the Northwest has been
much diminished by the unmistakabIe
nature of the Democratic support for it.
There is still an unknown quantity there,
however, and the Republicans may suffer
electoral losses in the Western States to
be overcome in the East.
The fact is that no one can predict with
any certainty the result of the days bal
lotting. The utility of the prophecies is
to enable both parties to feel good until a
late hour tonight when one or the other
of them must go into mourning.

PITTsBURG. TUESDAY. Nov. g. 1892.
TWELVE PAGES
SUBMITTED TO THE JURY.

The case which has been argued before
the court of national opinion goes to the
jury of the whole people this morning,
and the verdict will be rendered to-night.
IL has been a singular campaign. The
people have not manifested any very great
outward excitement over the ques-
tion whether protection or free trade
is the better policy for the whole country.
But the close of the fight shows that, not
withS.anding the quiet on the surface,
there is an undemOnstrative but general
recognition of the vital importance of the
decision on the future policy of the
nation.
Ole phase of the campaign is such as
all, without regard to party lines, can
warmly approve. The mud-throwlng at
the candidates has been conspicuous by
its absence. That feature Of our politics
has been on the wane since 1884, but there
has never been so notable an absence from
it on both sides. The Democrats have
lad their bugbears in the shape of Massrs.
Frck and Carnegie, and John Davenport
has been TO them as the red rag to the
bull. But the device Of circulating scan
dai about the opposing candidate has been
so entirely eschewed as TO constitute a
gratifying evidence that our politics are
decidedly improving.
The issues have plainly been recognized
as economic and financial. The questions
10 be decided By the people to-day are
those which affect business and material
prosperity. Although attempts have been
made during the campaign to draw new
lines the issue practically stands as it did
az the opening Of the campaign. The
Democracy ask to be put into power as a
party which viii not allow even the Incl
dental protection of tariff. 1t stands
committed TO CalhOunism, and its candi-
date has even been drawn at the close
Of the campaign into making a
defense Of the reactionary State
bank note proposition. On the other
hand, the Republican party is pledged to
the maintenance in its essential features
of the policy under which the nation has
experienced its wonderful growth of the
past twenty-five years. The people are
not asked to choose between the parties
only. They are called upon to say whether
they will adhere to the policy of the
'70's and sos both in tariff and
monetary legislation, or whether they
will reject these and turn back to Cal
hounism on the tariff and wildcat bank
notes for money.
With the issues so drawn it hardly seems
as if there could be much doubt as to the
verdict

GOOD TRADE OUTLOOK.

The review Of the state of trade through
out the country made by reports to Brad.
streets from the fifty leading cities makes
a very gratifying exhibit The best as
surance of the stability and maintained
prosperity lies in the fact that three
prominent features characterize the re-
ports from nearly all lines of business.
They are steady volume of trade, con-
servative prices and moderate profits.
Where these qualities are so universally
the rule any serious reaction is impossible,
and the changes are likely to be in the
direction of improved prices and greater
demands.
The early part of the year contained
many disappointing features in CONNER
cial and industrial quarters; but the out
come proves the correctness of THE
DIsPATCH's theory that the dullness and
depression of leading staples were but the
healthy trade. This is demonstrated in
the South, where the extreme depression
in, cotton caused the most gloomy outlook;
but the reports from Southern cities
now show an improved outlook after the
process of readjustment has been CON-
pleted. The similar showing in the wide
ly separate iron, glass and steel interests
of this section proves that the rule is uni
versaL. While prices range about the
same or lower the volume of trade is in
creased in the aggregate. The best cor
roboration of the story Cleaned by these
separate reports from all over the country
is found in the table of bank clearings,
which shows total of exchanges for the
ten months ending November exceeding
any previous year except those of 1890
and 1889. Considering the readjustment
of values which has gone on, and the COM
parauvely meager volume of speculative
transactions, the bank cIearings indicate
that actually larger volume of goods has
been paid for by these exchanges than in
either 1890 or 1889.
The prospect for 1898 is most flattering
if no extraneOus causes intervene to dis
turb business. An expectation of tariff
tinkering may disturb confidence; but
otherwise all the indications point to
steady demand and conservative and
stable prosperity.

BALLOT dealers are busy to-day and that
commodity, which should be priceless and

PERHAPS NOT GRIP.

1t is calculated to alarm the mind ap-
prehensive OF bodily ills to learn from the
Eastern press that the grip, with its
sueezes and aches, is making its appear
aGce once more. After the two sieges of
that ailment which the country has under
gone third visitation would be far from
welcome.
Nevertheless, we may be permitted to
suggest doubt as to the real presence of
the grip in this country. The rage for
sensatioDalizing everything would, if it
gained credence, leave US no place be-
tween cholera in the summer and grip in
the winter But cholera has not demon
strated its arrival yet, and grip is pre-
sumably an epidemic OF the past. Until
their presence is shown beyond dispute it
is not time to get panic-stricken about
them.
1t is quite probable that the sudden cold
and damp of last week produced a large
amount of severe colds in the head and a
few cases of fatal pneumonia. Those
things We have always with us in the win
ter season; but it is not necessary to name
them by so uncomfortable and diSquieting
a name as an epidemic Of grip.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Homer S. Knowles, of East Liverpool.

The many friends OF Homer S. Knowles,
formerly of East Liverpool o.. but for some years
past resident with his family at New York, were
deeply pained yesterday morning by telegram
announcing his sudden death from appolexy.
Mr.. Knowles one of the best known men of
the ohio valley. having been for many years an
active member of the great pottery firm of
Knowles, Taylor & Knowles. of East Liverpool.
whose products are known everywhere through
the country. Though only in his 43d year. his life
had been full of successful activity. A great
strain upon his health IN the building and extension
of his works caused Mr.. Knowles temporary ILL
ness q fsw years ago, and he moved with his family
to New York, to receive proper medical attention
and enjoy well-earned rest. He still maintained
his interest in the East Liverpool concern besides
having other industrial undertakings in view.
Deceased was one of the kindest and most liberal
OF men. and.had many warm friends In ail parts of
the country and among all classes of people. Both
at East Liverpool and in New York he
hospitabie entertainer, and was greatly liked in
all circles. Deceased leaves family consisting of
his wife and boy of wears. Mrs. Knowles being
the daughter of the late Captain j. 7. Stockdale,
of Allegheny City. To them and to other relatives
will be extended the deepest sympathy from a wide
circle of friends in Pitlsburg and Allegheny, and
in the tor ms of the Ohio valley where Mr.. Knowles
was so well known and his many good qualities so
sincerely appreciated.

TELLING TARIFF CONTRASTS
Terse Paragraphs Showing the Great Bene

Terse Paragraphs Showing the Great Bene-
fit of the Mckinley Bill.
New York Tribune.i
Under the tariff of 1867 the percentage OF
duty covering everything was 46H per cent.
Under the Mills bill the percentage of duty
covering everything was Is per cent.
Under the Mckinley tariff, now in force,
the percentage covering everything Is only
81 per cent.
This is lower than the percentage of any
previous tariff law since the war, an 1 per
cent lower than the tariff proposed by the
Democrats in the Mills bill.
When Mr.. Cleveland declared that the Re-
pubijcans had broken their pledges as to the
reduction of the heavy war tariff, his re-
marks differed from the truth by precisely
the difference between the 46% per cent
tariff OF 1867 and the q per cent tariff of the
Mckinley bill.
Finally, the free list under the Mckinley
bill is larger than under any other tariff bill
passed by the Republicans or proposed by
the Democrats since 1860.

to support citizens in the exercise or their
rights of suffrage. and to see that purity
prevails in handling the ballots They are
protected by the strong arm of the law, and
they will be firmly supported in the dis
charge of their duty. Amy trouble that
may arise will be due entirely to the des-
perate advice given by Democratic leaders
who have no reason whatever to fear the
action of Federal officers, unless it is in the
Illustration OF corrupt methods. Advice is
given TO violate the law by excluding the
Supervisors from the polls, presumably that
other lawlessness may have chance to go
undisturbed and undiscovered. These be
desperate measures, and little calculated to
excite enthusiastic confidence in the party
adopting them.

VERY SLIGHT RESULTS.

Following on Lieutenant Peary's per-
sonal Arctic expedition report to the Phil
adelphla Academy of Natural Sciences,
the Philadelphia Ledger gives an editorial
summary of the results to science of that
expedition. The addition to the store OF
useful human knowledge is the only justi-
fcati0n which has ever been offered for
the perilS and loss of life of Arctic eXpedi-
tons. As tEis summary of the results of
Peary's expedition is pitched in a decid-
edly Mandatory key, we may expect now,
if ever, to learn what are the valuable Sc
cretS to be ascerTained by periling life
and using treasure to keep people in tine
Polar Circle during the nocturnal winter
OF that region.
Nevertheless, although the occasion was
one which ought to disclose vast benefits
TO the human race, the statement of them
by the Ledger is diSappointingly inde-
finite. The scientific results are stated as
follows:
Not only in their geographical bearing,
but in their contributions to natural science,
in geology, zoology and botany. these expe-
ditions have been remarkably successful
Nor have any less important results been
obtained in chronological science, as throw
ing definite light upon the conditions of
existence which govern one of the most in
teresting races On the surface of the earth,
and possibly the most ancient on the West
ern hemisphere-the Northern Eskimos.
Apart from the interesting question
whether Lieutenant Peary found out any,
thing very vital about the ethnology of
the Eskimos or the fauna of the Arctic Cir
Gle or its still more scanty fora, two ques-
tons suggest themselves. FIRST, of what
value are these discoveries to the world at
large? Let us grant for the sake of argu-
ment that the expedition found out new
things. Is it of value to the world at
large to learn that there is certain variety

He Says There Is Danger That the Red
Man VIII Be a Citizen Too Soon.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. THE Connecti-
cut Indian Association held its business
meeting here to-day. Officers were elected
and resolutions adopted to the effect
that there should be a strict applica-
tion OF civil service rules to all
appointments in Indian service; against the
sale of intoxicant liquors among the In
dians, with heavy penalties therefore: for an
increase OF Indian appropriations. Indian
Commissioner Morgan delivered an address
on the Indian crisis in which he said:
"There is danger that citizenship will be
thrust upon these people before they are
prepared for it, and that they will thus be-
come the prey of all the evil forces
that are let loose upon them and
that almost inevitably surround them
in their present condition. There is danger
that the efforts to purify the Indian service
lit it out of politics and place it upon the
firm basis of Justice and of business methods
will be thwarted by those who are interested
in keeping the old system and of using the
Indian service Tor personal, political and
other mercenary ends"
