GOOD DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
Fron. Harper's Weekgu.


True democracy means, as Abraham
Lincoln expressed 1t, government of the
people. by the people, and for the people"
Public Office, bestowed either by the
people directly or through their chosen
servants, is. therefore, necessarily a
"public trust" It is instituted not for
the benefit of The office-holder. nor for the
benefit of his party, but for the benefit OF
the people The people are evidently en-
titled to the best service they can
get; and those who are intrusted
with the power of appointing officers are.
therefore. in duty bound to appoint only
persons fit to give the people the best pos
sibla service. They can discharge this
duty only by selecting persons tor Office
according to their fitness for the service
to be rendered. The most faithful OBJ
servance OF this principle will also secure
to every man aspiring to public employ
ment his rightful chance, for every man
will have chance according to his merit.
and not according to his pull" This Is
genuine democratic doctrine.

THE GREAT HULL STRIKE
Indications That the Men Are Beaten,
But Trouble Still Feared.
RAJ Cable IN fbe TTq1j{ed Pyees.

But Trouble Still Feared.
By Gable TO the United Press.
LONDON, April II, 1S93-The situation
in Hull today is quite gloomy for the
strikers, and. to judge from present indi-
cations, the Shipping Federation will
win. -Four hundred additional nom union
men arrived in Hull today to
take the places OF unionists who
had quit work. They were at
once placed at work. There are now al
together 1000 non-unionists at work. II
is thought that no assaults will be made
upon them, SO they are protected by
dragons aud policemen.
As the strikers see their chances OF WIN
ming daily become less they evlnce de-
cidedly ugly feeling. bat with the pre-
cautions already taken further riotOuS
demonstrations about the WharYeS are
not apprehended. The union men may !,
however, attempt to create disturb ances
in other parts of the town. This morn
ing, as train conveying number of the
"blacklegs," as the strikers term them,
was entering the town, 1t was stoned.
The firms in Hull engaged in the TIM
ber carrying trade, who, since Lbe begin
ming OF the strike, have left their vessels
remain idle, announced today that unless
their employees resume Work aC once oCner
men will be engaged to ill their places.
Mr.. Joseph Havelock Wilson. President
of the Sailors and Firemens' Union, is
taking an active part in advancing the
Interests of the strikers. Though, as
has before been stated in these dispatches,
he is averse to strikes as a means of set
ling labor disputes. now that this strike
is on he is doing all in his power to
render it successful. Mr.. Wilson arrived
at Cardiff today with the object of
en1isting the DOCK laborers and the Car
diff branch of the Sailors and Firemens'
Union in support of the Hull strikers.
With his great influence in LABOR circ. .es
there is scarcely doubt that be will o.
tain material aid, not only in Cardiff, nut
in other ports which he intends to visit.
There Is every indication that the
shipping trade of Cardiff Is about to
become involved IN struggle with the
Sailors and Flremens' Union. The
members OF the vnion have demanded an
increase in their wages, the increase to
begin today, and they threathen TO block
the sailing of every vessel, il the owners
of which do not comply with Jneir de-
mands. It is not thought ihaE the owners
will concede the advance, but will try TO
compromise.
AT Hull this afternoon there are signs
that the striEers are beginning TO get dis
couraged. Several dozens have applied
for work and the applications nave been
accepted.
