the managers and the men are
warning to gain some point as to which
the general public is not concerned, the
public is the principal sufferer. This
again brings forward the suggestion
that there will have to be legislation to
prevent these conflicts or some day the
whole railroad system Of the country
may be tied up. Can anybody compute
the damage that would result from such
an occurrence, even though it should
last no longer nan twenty-four hours?
1t is not wise to conclude that such n
thing is impossible, however improb-
able hat it will ever happen, and every
thoughtful mar must see the ~expediency
of providing against it. The surest
and perhaps the only safeguard
is compulsory arbitration. There is
some danger that the Lehigh Valley
strike may spread, though a promise
of early settlement is to be found in the
communication of the president OF the
road TO the employees. who regard it as a
concession. 1t is certainly to be hoped
that the conflict will not be prolonged
and especially that it will not extend to
other roads,

ACTING MAYOR SWIFT of Chicago
promptly vetoed All ordinance on Mon
day because it granted q franchise to an
electric lighting company without any
return to the city. What he says with
respect to requiring compensation to
the city for valuable franchise rights
is worthy the consideration of our tax
payers and councilman. Mayor Swift
says: Another serious objection to this
ordinance is that it does not provide
any compensation to the city and to the
public for the privilege granted and the
inconvenience to which the public is
necessarily subjected by the exercise of
the powers attempted to be conferred by
the ordinance. Whenever the city in
terferes with private property for the
purpose of establishing a public i'm
provement a condemnation proceeding
is necessary, in which the city Is always
made to pay the highest market value

THE statement of Mr.. Thurston, the
representative in this country of the
provisional government of Hawaii, reads
well and bears plausible aspect, but as a
denial of the facts set forth in the Blount
report it is not likely to command gen.
eral credence. The fact must be kept
in mind By readers of this statement
that Thurston is an interested party
and therefore could hardly be impartial,
while the reverse of this is true of Mr..
Blount. He went to Hawaii an abso-
lutely disinterested person, with a
mind open to conviction according to
the facts as he found them and with the
single desire and purpose, it must fairly
be presumed, to arrive at the truth. He
took testimony from both parties, and
upon the essential and vital points there
is agreement. Thus far nothing pre-
sented. in criticism of the Blount report
has diminished the value of hat docu-
ment, and certainly the Thurston state
ment will have no influence against the
report with anybody but the people who
are predisposed to condemn it.

OFFICERS of the Whisky trust are re-
ported to have said thai they are paying
no attention whatever to the prospective
increase in the tax on spirits, but on the
contrary are devoting all their efforts to
producing as much now as their facilities
permit. OF course the Whisky trust is
turning out all the whisky it can, but
that does not indicate any disregard Of
the proposed increase of the internal rev.
enue duty. The more stock it has on hand
when the higher rate goes into force
the greater will be its profits when it
sells that stock with the amount of the
new tax added. If it were proposed to
decrease the tax on spirits the Whisky
trust would not be SO active just at pres

ANOTHER DlsGRAoEFuL LYNcHiNG.

The brutal lynching at Ottumwa
Tuesday brings no enviable reputation
to the perpetrators of this latest out
rage. No matter how serious might be
the crime with which the victim is
charged, nor how repugnant the cir
cumstances attending the assault, it can
afford to the minds of law-respecting
people no excuse or justification for a
further disregard of the law by any
number of self-appointed avengers of
justice.
In this case at Ottumwa it is
ing to observe that the reports omit all
mention of 'the best people of the COM
munity" in describing the composition of
the lawless mob. We have heard SO
much about "the leading citizens and
.'the representatives of the business
interests in the usual accounts of
l%ynching parti es in various sections of
the country that it is encour aging
to find here that the mayor,
the city officials and IN my others,
who had at least some sense of their re-
sponsibility in frustrating a p~erversion
of the law, did all in their power to
assist the sheriff in his attempts to pro-
tect his prisoner. If the persons who
constituted the mob had an equal APP
probation of the duties of citizenship
they would never have ventured to par
ticipate in the disgraceful proceeding.
1t must be a matter for regret among all
the better classes of Iowa people that
the officers Of the law were unable to
cope with the force which finally over
powered them.

THE LEHIGH STRIKE.

The strike of the employees of the
Lehigh Valley road, in which about
1000 men are engaged, appears tt be
one Of those conflicts which might easily
have been averted if there had been a
little common sense used. The chief
cause of the trouble seems to be the re-
tusal Of the general manager of the
Lehigh to treat with a committee of
the several orders connected with rail-
roading. In other words, he would
have nothing to do with the representa-
tives of labor organizations, though
willing to treat with the men as en-
ployes of the road. 1t is alleged as an
other thing which melted the men to
strike that the general manager did
not fully carry out an agreement he
made with the men. 1t is to be re-
marked regarding the first point of dis
agreement that unquestionably any en-
ployer may recognize or refuse to
recognize any organization, whether OF
employees or railroad operators. 1t is a
matter of policy altogether, and every
man in the position of an employer will
act in such a matter according to his
best judgment of what is expedient.
Very likely in this instance the general
manager of the Lehigh made q mistake,
but as to his right to pursue the course
he thought best there cannot be two
opinions, On the other hand, it was
equally the privilege OF the men to
regard the grievances mentioned as
sufficiently serious to justify them in
striking, though most people in a posi-
tion to take an unprecedented view of the
matter will be very likely to conclude
that they did not constitute an adequate
reason for the men leaving their work
and tying up the road. That radical
remedy should only be applied when
abuses become unbearable and there APP
pears to be no other way to correct them.
1t viii not be claimed for the Lehigh
Valley men that they had exhausted all
means for redressing their grievances
before striking.
AS to the latest phases of the situation,
each party claims to have the best of it.
The n obvious fact is that the public
is having the worst Of it. 1t is this
feature of the conflict that is Of
