A Great Intelleetual Contest.

Nothing is more gratifying than the
intellectual development OF people.
AS the scope OF culture widens men de-
vote themselves to specialties and seek
to become expert on their chosen lines.
Favored with comfortable competency
which leaves the mind free OF the veX-
atious cares OF bread.winning, the way
is open to tho achievement OF the best
results. Baltimore furnishes case in
point.

In went tho oyster knife, off went tho
shells, down went tho oysters until each
competitor had eaten one hundred and
thirty-Ave oysters and the contest was
declared draw.
1t is tribute to the scientific accom-
plishment OF these gentlemen that at
last accounts they were alive. They
have learned tho art OF eating oysters
until there is nothing to bo gained by
eating any moro oysters. This is de-
cided scientific triumph.

There is decided tendency in recent
decisions in various parts OF the country
to define strikes somewhat in the nature
OF conspiracies, and the result is to con-
siderably limit the legal powers Of labor
organizations. Just how long or how
far this tendency will continue remains
to be seen, but that the tendency exists
is clear to every observer. 1t Is ques-

THE LABOR DECISIONS
AuWant It settled.

New York Pres
Chief Arthur recently declared that
the ruls that railway employees should
not quit work without giving due notice
would work no injustice il the railway
companies were also forbidden to dis
charge their men without due notice,
This statement Of the case is one that
appeals forcibly to the American love
OF fair play and equal rights, Combln'
atoms OF workingmen for mutual bene-
fit will continue TO exist. The present
litigation will. it is to be hoped, result
in defining clearly the legal limits OF
the power Of such organizations. This
is point which the general public and
organized labor should be equally
anxious to see established.

What tho Decision Is.

The substance OF these decisions is
that the interstate commerce law is OF
higher authority than rule OF the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers;
that an engineer who obeys the latter
and breaks the former will be punished
that ii no thinks his duty to the
brotherhood is more sacred than his
duty to the law, then he must leave q
position where these two duties clash
that he may leave that position when
he chooses, provided always he does not
do it in auch u manner as to injure the
public, to whom he owes special duties,
and his employer but while in the
service OF the road he must obey the
laws OF the United States.

An Imperial Leader.

Samuel Gompera has been talking
again in an imperial strain. .
He declares that the Federation, OF
which he is president, considers the
boycott "the most valuable weapon il
possesses and intends to keep on using
it." This threat to defy both the law
and American sentiment will not, in
the minds OF some people, give vast
weight to his denunciation OF the
knights OF Labor as an unworthy rival;
but of course Mr.. Gompers will regard
with scorn any such small.potato esti-
mate OF himself as labor leader.

OF course the case goes to tho court Of
last resort-the supreme court OF the
United States-for final adjudication.
Should Judge Tatt's decision be sustain.
ed, the relations OF employer and en-.
ploye will be radically changed. Strikes
and boycotts will become things Of the
past, and differences on the wage quea-
ton will be settled by an appeal to
something else besides brute force.

Tho Eckels, surnrlse.

Some patriots are surprised because
they do not get what they have asked
the President for. Mr., Eckols, nomi'
mated for comptroller OF the treasury,
was surprised to got what he did not
ask for and something SO far beyond his
SIZE that he had not thought OF aspir'
ing to it.
This is altogether remarkable case,
tho like Of which is not on record. The
truth OF the business seems to be that
tho President wished to obligo Ben
Gable, OF Illinois, and in an unguarded
moment dressed up Mr.. Cables friend
in a misdt. This explanation, which
makes itall O clerical error, will not go
very far ogainat the known facts.
