St. Martin was born in 316,
and noted for his mildness and
benevolence and charity, and

surprised when they learn that some OF
these were receiving the highest wages
ever paid on earth for such work.
Finally, why do not some of these free
trade croakers try to find few cases OF
rise in wages?
No matter what may be the cause,
they may attribute it to the phases of the
moon, or the spots on the sun if they
wish to, if they will only acknowledge
case when found. When Cleveland
stated in Rhode Island that wages were
going down, he certainly knew that In
his own state of New York the bureau
of labor statistics had found for the
year nearly five times as many advances
In wages as reductions, and over tive
times as many shortening OF the hours
of labor-virtually an advance-as re-
auctions. He certainly would not plead
ignorance of fact SO easily obtained.
This is no justification of either party IN
this controversy, but protest against
the absurd folly of imputing to the Nc
Kinley law trouble for which 1t Is IN
no way responsible. Legislation can
only make high wages possible, but 1t
cannot compel employers to give them.
Democrats admit the first proposition SO
far as the Mckinley bill Is concerned,
and common sense confirms the last.

ANOTHER PHASE OF THE QUESTION.

The trouble at Homestead, Pa, is
over, as far as any further collision OF
forces is concerned. The locked-out oper-
atives achieved the first success in re-
polling the advance of the Pinkerton
hirelings, and in this public sympathy
has been almost unanimously with the
former. Now the owners of the mills
have been put In peaceable possession OF
their property, and they declare their
purpose to be to ignore the union ele-
ment in recognizing the operating
force; that is to say, they will employ
non-union men. The company'S former
employees, will probably offer no forci-
BILE resistance. But there is an infinitely
more powerful weapon at their COM
mand than sticks and stones, or
even Winchester rifles and Napoleon
cannons, and that is the boycott.
The locked-out union men at Home
stead have repeatedly declared their
ability to carry on indefinitely the con-
test begun when the Carnegie people re-
fused to sign the wage scale and under
took to cut the scale 20 per cent. from
former prices, and the offers of financial
aid from labor organizations throughout
the country would seem to make good
the declaration.
As to the plan of campaign, it has not
been so much as limited at by the Home
stead workingmen, but it does not re-
quire much of prophet to anticipate
the line of action to be pur-
sued by an organization that
is coextensive with the country,
that is directly connected with every
branch of industry and whose cardinal
doctrine is "The injury OF one is the con-
Germ of all.
IF, therefore, the locked out men at
Homestead should adopt the boycott as
their weapon, having the sympathy and
hearty cooperation of trades-unions ex
tant, it is within their power TO deprive
the Carnegie people of market for their
goods in this country, outside of their
contracts with the government, and it is
not certain that these would not be seri-
ously interfered with.
! In this view of the case, and it is not a
! mere stretch of the imagination, while
1 the Carnegie people may be temporarily
victorious, it will be a victory that will
end in disastrous defeat, if they under
take TO carry their declared intentions
into effect.

From a pessimistic standpoint it would
seem that an epidemic of bloodthirsti-

at other points, ut all Of which more OF

tered themselves that by nominating n

aid of the Democrats of the district, they
would be able to down Case Broderick,

scheme was very cleverly planned and
came near succeeding, butt was another

straining themselves to make bit OF
political capital out of the Homestead,
Pa, incident of last week, now probably
wish they hadn't said anything about 1t

ocrat, has proclaimed marshal law for
the town of Homestead, and ordered the
entire military force of the state to re-
possess the owners of the iron works of
their property. The governor simply
did his duty, but that has brought his
official actions into direct opposition to
the claims and declarations of the par

proper thing TO do in Diaz's case. He

THE PADUCAH RACE CONFLICT.

The race conflict at Paducah, KY,
mentioned in yesterdays dispatches, is
not matter of much surprise to those
acquainted with the situation there. Pa
ducah, situated at the confluence of the
Tennessee with the Ohio river, is city
of something like 10000 population. OF
whom one-third are negroes, and for
many years there has not existed very
unfriendly state of feeling. The trouble
first originated in 1870 or 1871 over the
lynching of a negro man there for an al
legged rape upon a white woman. There
was serious doubt as to the actual guilt
of the accused at the time and his lynch
ing came near preclpitatlng an
open conflict between the whites
and negroes. BloodShed and raplne
were only averted by the most heroic and
persistent efforts of the cool-headed
among both elements.
Several times since then there have
been close calls upon the peace OF the
city, and its escape from destructive
fires and race riots has been miraculous.
The presence and residence of so many
negroes there IS accounted for by the
fact that Paducah is one Of the largest
leaf tobacco markets in the country, the
handling of which product affords en-
ployment for large number of laborers.
Its general shipping interests, by rail
and river also afford constant employ
ment for great many laborers, and this
is done almost exclusively by negroes.
These conditions as to the city's business
affairs, therefore, vests q conflict there
with possible serious consequences IN
several directions.

For the Eagle,
THE GREEN AND GOLD.

The breeze across the hills of morn
Is fair, and fresh, and sweet;
Green are the fields of waving corn,
And gold the fields of wheat.
These leagues of lustrous green enfold
A hope, wherein We build;
And these proclaim-these leagues OF gold
A prophecy fulfilled.
They hint, they tell, that all is well
In all the splendid land;
They promise largess. full and free,
AS from kingly hand.
Around the FURNISHED, yellow squares
The busy reapers ply;
They whirr and hum, they go and come
They wheel, and hurry by.
From early morn to set Of sun
They speed, and gather in;
They seize and hold, the harvest gold,
To heap the harvest bin.
And many a deep and throbbing JOY,
And many pleasure sweet,
Was never born but for the corn,
And for the golden wheat.
