The candidacy of Colonel Russell, OF
Hampshire, for the collectorship OF
internal revenue is as picturesque as
the dapper colonel ia himself. 1t is
commonly understood that Mr.. Gilke-
son, of the same county, is slated for the
place. Colonel RusseII's "aghE" there
fore, is to be interpreted as against Mr..
Gilkeson more than for himself, for he
has not a ghost of a chance,
Colonel Russell will be remembered
as the fierce warrior who in 1888 was in
a dicker with "my dear Lanam," a
colored adyenturer who proposed for a
consideration to organize al indie
pendent movement OF coIored men in
the interest OF the Democratic party.
Later Colonel Russell devoted all that
was in him to the cause OF Hill and
against the cause OF Cleveland in West
Virginia, and also thought the country
and the Democratic party would go to

nominated for Congress. A man who
takes these erroneous views OF great

Labor aud the Law.

The strike OF locomotive engineers on
tho Ann Arbor road has brought about
a~sltuation new in the history Of strikes.
Tho strike having been ordered by the
brotherhood, the carsof the Ann Arbor
road were placed under the boycott.
Engineers employed by other roads
were not to draw the cars OF the boy
cotted road and, of course, were to re.
fuse to operate trains to which those
cars were attached.
Tho object of q movement Of this
character is to paralyze the through
business OF the boycotted road, Follow
ing this, to paralyze the business Of all
roada attempting to handle the cars oil
the boycottod company. The ultimate
aim is to bring about q settlemen Mt
favorable to the strikers. The action Of
Judge Kicks, OF the United States dis
trict court for northern Ohio, practi.
cally orders off this boycott. The in.
junction granted by him restraints the
employees ,he Wheeling 4 Lake Eric
from refusing 10 handle tho cars OF tho
Ann Arbor and forbids them to obey
contrary orders from the brotherhood.
Tho order of the court applies as we'll
to the employees OF other roads within
the jurisdiction. Some OF the Lake
Shore engineers have resigned rather
than handle the ~boycotted business.
Pennsylvania engineers have resolved
to obey tho law as laid down by the
court. Certain Of the railroad employees
are under arrest tor ~disobeyiug the or
der OF tho court.
The order ID based on the wholesome
doctrine that when men choose to leave
their employment the law will not al
low than to damage their former en-,
ployers. Their rights end with leaving
their places. II this view be enforced
the men will have to choose between
obeying their labor organization and
obeying the law Of the land, unless
their organization be wise enough to
command them to do nothing that con-
tlicts with the law.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi.
neers has been one Of the best managed
and one OF tho most conservative of the
labor organizations. 1t is to be hoped
that it may maintain its good name by
a ready obedience to the law. In the
end the law must triumph.

The New York Euening Post makes
the point that "no civilized commu-
nifty ought to allow a person OF his
Jenkins sort to DO fastened on it in
an Office as important as the health Of
fee without a struggles" and it is sug-
gested that jenkins could not stand fire
in court because when appointed he
was not a practiclng physician OF ten
years standing as the law requires.
But there is Croker, brother-in-law OF
jenkins and boss OF Tammany which in
turn is boss Of New York. These are
weighty considerations in favor OF
jenkins. The country is interested in
the case OF jenkins, because jenkins is

Now We have more modification OF
the Presidents rules al laid down for
ofice.seeking. An ex.oGice.holder may
apply for another place than tho one he
held before. This seems to knock the
reason out OF the whole rule.
The idea upon which tho President
was supposed to base the rule excluding
the "ex's' is that having had one good
long pull at tho public teat they should
stand back for those who have not been
80 rewarded. If tho former reward IL
not to stand in the way Of another ro-
ward on Il different line, which may be
something even better and Of richer
taste, it would seem that the President
is toying with the great army Of the
hitherto unrowarded.
Tho modification OF the rule would
mako a difference to individuals, but SC
far MS tho masses OF the party arc con,
cernod they would still DO in danger oil
tripping over IN cx.ofice.holder every
time they visit the white house to in
quire when their appointments are tc
be made.
But perhaps this modiacotio will bt
denied before night. Perhaps it will bt
said that tho President never laid dowr
tho rulo Of exclusion. The policy witt
regard to oficc.scoking and oaice.got
ting has not up to date tho appearance
Of having been we'll dipes,ed. Maybe
some moro foolors will have to bt
thrown out bctorO this end can be
reached.

"Bctsy and arc OUT"

1t was promptly denied that tho Pres
idcnt was unhappy over tho makeup Of
tho senate committees; and then came
the assurance that the President rocog-
nises the scnate's right to form its Com-
mittees as it p%loOsos. OF course, but
the exercise Of that right in tho prcsi.

The company had pledged its securities
