A BrLL was introduced in the Michigan
Legislature yesterday providing for a
punishment Of from two to five years
Imprisonment for anyone seeking to
bring into the state any armed or un-
armed police force or detective agency
for the suppression of labor strikes OF
lock-outs That is one Of the many
bills that will come attacking the out
posts. not the citadel of the enemy.
The state authorities already have
the power to arrest and disarm
any persons not authorized to bear arms
within the borders of the state. But
back of that is the seat of the disease, Of
which the Pinkertons are only symp,
tom. No wise doctor will fill a patient
with drugs simply to change the symp
toms. They are not the disease. What
we need to do is to remove the robbel
tariff There will be no necessity to EN-
ploy Pinkerton murderers then.

II President Harrison could have ap.
piled the same rules 70 the other duties
Of his Office that he has applied to the
appointment Of judges he would be a
great man. He has been strong and
wise in the selection Of judges but weak
and foolish in political appointments.
How the same man could make the con.
spicuously fair and admirable selection
Of Judge Howell K. Jackson to FIJI the
place Of the late Justice Lamar and
keep Raum in Office is an enigma. The
only explanation Of the inconsistency
presented In the cases of Elkins,
Wanamaker, Miller, Raum and Porter
as against jackson, Brown, Brewer
Dallas and other judges President Harri
son has appointed. is that In the on,
case he exercised his judgment and in
the other case his prejudice. The ap
pointment Of Judge jackson will bring
noshing but enconiums. He Is a man OF
splendid attachments and noble character.
What else should judge have, except
experieacey Judge jackson has that.
Then IN addition to those absolute pre-.
requisites he is a Southern man and q
Democrat. This will serve TO relieve the
Supreme Bench Of the accusation Of par.
tlsanship I5 also relieves President
Harrison of the charge of unfairness. II
is pity for the country that president
is eligible to a second term. He can rise
above party now. For three years he has
been candidate for reelection.

A plea for the sonth.

Richmond Dispatch.
The appointee who is TO succeed Mr.
Lamar ought TO come from one Of the
Southern States. The Supreme Court is
a Northern court as It now stands. There
ought TO be some regard manifested for
the views of the nature Of our national
government which prevails in this sec.
tion Of the Union. No good reason can
be given for not leavening the Federal
Supreme Court with little of the leaven
Of sound constitutional doctrine.

where the Pension bureau belongs

IhlcagO Herald.
The spirit Of Democratic institutions
is not strongly favorable to increasing
the powers and jurisdiction Of the War
Department. But this country would
have saved half of its expenditure for
pensions If the Pension Bureau had been
a part of the War Department, where It
belongs, and administered by army
officers instead Of by political appointees
to whom the charge was assigned as a
matter of spoils A just method Of
pension reform could be instituted now
by the War Department, which a mere
political department would be afraid TO
undertake.

The fact is that a member of the Leg
islature who introduces no bills at all,
but devotes himself 20 opposing unuec-
cessary bills, renders more substantial
service than the bright statesman who
poses as the author of a score of statutes
during a single session. 1t is a common
thing in any State Legislature to see
1 1000 bills offered in a month, and nearly
all Of them deal with subjects that simply

description. Yet here are the
White House -and the other executive
offices all swathed in ghastly imi-
tation of Grape and looking like so many
hearses, and here are holidays given to
thousands of government employees in
commemoration of the deceased. The
whole thing is mischievous and imper-
tinent mummery. According to the
spirit of our institutions, President be-
comes a private citizen at the expiration
Of his term Of office. The same is true Of
Cabinet officers If the chief Executive
or the head of one of the DepaI Itments
should die during his term the United
States flag might be set at half mast in
his honor That would be distincti Dn
enough. But the man who has ceased to
be a public official and has returned TO
private life Is no more entitled TO such for
NAL recognition as Is now defacing the
department buildings than any other
citizen. Thousands of men now living
have held high places in the past and
other and more numerous thousands ex-
pect to do so in the future, but TO neither
Of these classes more than to the other
should any demonstration of perfunctory
sorrow be accorded. The custom is
essentially vicious. As for the Grape,
that is revolving and inexcusable
in any case. Even where one dies
in high office, the practice of getting
out vast coils of unsightly calico and
festooning the porticos of our public
buildings until they look like catafalques
is barbarous. The flag at half mast over
the building is quite enough by way of
ostentation, and permission to the EN-.
ployes of the department to celebrate
the funeral is quite enough by way of
reality, The rest is all leather and
prunella, humbug and mockery, alto
gether out of place under Republican in.
stitutions Why, in the name of decency
and common sense, do we not put an end
to it2 1t is gratifying to be informed
that at the express request of Mrs
Blaine, and doubtless in accordance with
the wish Of her distinguished husband,
this custom is to be dispensed with 80 fai
as any draping of the public buildings on
account Of his decease is concerned. II
Is to be hoped that this sensible and
wholesome innovation will have the
effect Of permanently doing away with
a custom that should long since have
been abolished.

startlIpr z ma.terr OF L,neh Law.

MhAitAy OF LJlltH Law
Philadelphia Times.
IL has become the unwritten law of
most of the Southern states that negro
who criminally assaults white woman
shall be summarily executed, and in
some instances the negroes have in
licted the same lawless revenge upon
their own race for like crimes against
colored women. 1t is easy TO say that
punishment is against law and sound
public policy; but the answer comes
that the highest Office of the law-that
Of maintaining social order and safety
can be asserted only by the summary
and brutal executions which now blot
the annals of the country. If this law
lessness were confined to the South
where the colored race predominates in
several states and is a large proportion
of the population in all communities, the
people and press of the North could con-
sistently protest against it and hope to
be heard and needed in such protests
but it is only few months since a negro
was hanged by mob just over the
northern border Of Pennsylvania for like
crime and the place of execution was
within few PAGES of the village church.
Even in sober, Law. abiding, Quaker
Chester county, it is not long since a
whole community hunted for days to
capture two negroes who had assaulted
two white girls, and it was unconcealed
that had the criminals been found, at
that time, they would have been lynched
by the populace. and the law would have
been powerless to punish the lynchers.
The civilized world, with peace
and protection on every side, hurl their
tiercest thunders against such savagery
but IL goes on until its purpose is full
filled. In like manner will the lynching
Of negroes who assault women 20 on in
the South, and now and then in the
North, until society is enabled, by the
higher and better attributes of moral
influences, to restrain the brute who now
fears only torture, and thus give safety
TO womanhood. IL is as sad as it is law
less to give over the punishment of any
criminal to the most inhamed and fiend-
ish passions, and such punishment can
not be executed without steadily de-
veloping positive attributes Of barbarism
and undermining respect for law; but
like all eruptions of violence, It will con.
tinue to shock civilization by asserting
its omnipotence until new and better
social conditions can be attained.

The only place in this coun-
try where the weaving of Linen
Damask can be seen is in this
store - Bargain Exchange,
Chestnut street.
The convenient arrange
ments by which the weaver,
the loom and the Columbus

made the hundreds of inter
ested visitors comfortable while
observing this industrial OBJ
ect lesson.
Quite naturally our Linen
business is brought into prom
inence by the jacquard Loom

People remember that:
The greatest retail Linen
business of the country is done
here.
That the greatest retail stock
of Linens is kept here.
That only Flax goods are
sold here as Linen.
That great trading makes
low prices in Linens.
The absolute confidence in
our Linens and their prices
which the wise buyers of this
market have is the outcome of
long experience.
1t is the rock foundation
upon which our Linen business
rests and grows.
