CHICAGO claims free water at the
Worlds Fair to be supplied from
Lake Michigan, but the cry against
the windy city is that it will be
cooled by filthy ice. British pa
pers have sent men to examine the
sanitary conditions in Chicago, and
their reports place the same in an
unenviable light. Chicago river
and the stock yards get a severe
overhauling. Visitors to the city
can recall the sluggish river. It is
truly a disease-breeding stream,

know the name of. Clean up down
there, you dirty cusses, before we

: The Worlds Fair strikers
walked out 1900 strong Monday
and marched back to work again
Tuesday. Their demand that only
union men should be employed
was denied. Let their rights to
stop work be conceded, but they
should not attempt to interfere
with others who may desire to
work. That, surely is a feature
of the labor organizations in their
strikes to which public sympathy
can not be extended, neither
should it be expected. A careful
reading Of the conditions existing
between the men and their en-
ployers at the Fair grounds does
not disclose any grievance on the
part of the men.

The salary of the British minister to
the United States was a little less than
5000. Now that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote has been raised to the rank of en-
bassador his pay will be raised accord
ingly. The British ambassador to Ger
many receives about $4,000 annually,
while the one at Paris gets nearly $45,-
600 year, or only $4,000 less than the
president of the United States. Our for
eign ministers to European governments
have heretofore been obliged to spend
much more than their salaries. which at
the greatest have been only $17,500.
That is paid to our minister at London
Our ambassadors must have their pay
raised at once. The United States can
not afford to skimp in foreign lands her
public servants of the highest dignity.

WE clip the following extract
from an able publication, Wool and
Hutton, Of Minneapolis. The ex-
tract is from an article written be
Col. John H. Stevens, and has ref
erence to an experience of Major
Fridley lately deceased: .
The late Major A. M. Fridley, in
1853, purchased a flock of about eight
hundred head of Merino blood in the
East, and at great expense planted
them on his farm, then occupying the
present site of Fridley. The enter
prise was an Improbable one. With
the few conveniences for caring for
sheep in these early days the Merinos
were considered as too tender a breed
for our climate and soil. Since then,
however, with the proper barns, food,
water and sheds, with the proper care
Merinos can be raised with profit in
Minnesota.

obtained at recruiting offices as
they now are for the army and
navy, and if a sufficient volunteer
equipment is not forthc oming, a
draft would then be in order.
Should the men, under military
discipline, refuse to labor,
or should they leave
their posts it would bring them
under the offense Of mutiny or de-
sertion, and the screws Of military
discipline would, then and there,
crush out their despicable assump-
tions. It appeared on first con
sideration of the court decisions
that good grounds had been taken,
but careless expressions from
leading sources will place con
.dition Of elements abroad in the
land that will most speedily coun-
teract all possible tendency toward
an amicable settlement of labor
and capital contentious. Judge
Barrett's decision in a New York
court gives strong legal right to
the laborer to act for himself in
all instances not conflicting with
the Interstate commerce laws.
He says ''Both capital and labor
are in the same position banded
and confederated to overcome each
other, and that the granting to
either side of an injunction would
be an unfair discrimination" The
present condition of affairs
demands something broader than
threatening insinuations and caus-
tic comments. To place an in
telligent class of men almost in
the light of enemies and attempt
to throw on their motives the bale
full CLEAN of derision are contempt,
IDLE methods far removed from the
prevailing sentiment of the vast
majority. Let moderation and
fairness be used by the press, in
all matters pertaining to the
strained relations between capital
and labor. The assumption Of
superiority from financial posses.
sions, and the foolish standard oil
caste on the same basis, have
wrought the bitterness of the pres.
ent day. There are broad-gauge
men in the labor ranks, that the mos
profound capitalists may, with ne
loss Of self-respect, meet and con
slider jointly the best means fo1
the solution of existing compiled
lions. A slight condescensio1
from an assumed standard, on one
part would, with the American
laborers, meet ready recognition
and bring about results satisfac
tory to all.

ACCORDING to decisions from
Judges Kicks and Taft, in the Ann
Arbor cases, and the decisions of
Judge Billings, of New Orleans,
in the freight handlers strike and
the opinions of some Of the leading
journals, the railroad employees are
about in the position that an en-
listed man bears to the United
States authorities. The Philadel-
phia Press strongly supports the
stand taken by the above jurists,
and adds that the army, navy and
seamen are occupations that men
can not leave at will, and further
says that railroads will be added
to such list. The Baltimore San
takes a strong position in line
with the recent decisions and says
the transportation service is a
semi-public one, and not to be in
considerably interfered with for
the furtherance Of private inter
ests of employees. It is not a de-
sirable condition Of commercial
relations to have the business in
terests of the country distracted
and torn up as often as the vary
ing whims of a class Of men may
propose, neither is it a superb con
clusion that places an intelligent
class of men in the category OF
machines or automatons who are
not supposed to think but to have
others think for them. Before
that state Of things is attained as
regards the railroads, they must

A Strike and a Boycott.

The decision of Judge Taft of the
United States circuit court at Toledo in
the case Of the Ann Arbor railroad suit
shows the difference between a strike
and a boycott in a way that is thorough
~ clear to the mind of person who is
neither q lawyer nor a member of a
trades union. A strike is quitting work
by employees who are dissatisfied with
the terms of their employment. En-
ployed persons have a right to strike,
and persons have right to take or quit
work at any time, but in case of rail
roads the decision of Judge Taft lays
down the precedent that the right to
boycott the goods Of other roads must
not be permitted.
The interstate commerce law requires
that all railroads shall offer equal facili-
ties to all others in the handling Of
freight and passengers. Refusing to
handle the freight Of any road by the
employees Of another road is unlawful,
therefore. The following important
principle is laid down: Nv lille doing the
work Of the company the employee is
the company" In brief, Judge Taft's
decision amounts to this: Railroad en-
ployees may strike or quit the service Of
q company when they like. As long,
however, as they are in the service of q
company, doing its work and receiving
its wages, they shall not refuse to trans
fer the freight and passengers Of any
other road merely because the employees
Of that particular road are on strike. OF
for any other reason. The interests Of
the public will not allow this

New YORK City has taken the
matter of pure water supply

the authorities find it necessary to

pure drinking water, which ranks
equally with pure air as an es-
sential for good health.
