1t would seem that Republl-

can administration OF this gov
eminent is not only necessary to
financial increase and industrial
prosperity, but that it is neces-
sary to social and industrial peace.
Human nature in it's worst is
very much the same as when the
debauched Paris mob moved upon
Versailles in the time of the de-
generate Louis. 1t is just as blood
thirsty and just as unreasoning.
When the Democratic members
of the tariff conference committee
have reached a conclusion they are
going to inform the Republican
members what that conclusion is.
Kind, is it not, but what kind
Governments are ordained to be
a terror to evil doors, but the ter
ror all along the lines Of the rail-
way strike seems to be on the
other boot. Uncle Sam is little
too slow to take hand in.
The ,hypodermic injection that is
being administered by the Chicago
army doctors will eventually cure
the rioters, but the doses are too
small and not administered often
enough for speedy cure.
How is it that the man who can
not earn thousand a year with
his hands, as an expert laborer, can
so easily earn three times that
amount with his mouth as an ex-
pert destroyer of labor?
The right to quit work when con-
tract expires is the inalienable
right of every laborer, but not to
violate contracts and quit to the
destruction of the industries that
give them employment.
The pressure brought to bear on
the railway orders to force strike
among them has been unprece-
dented, and the stubborn resist
ance they have made to Debs
should be recognized.
This city might not find it very
easy to improve its water supply,
but it could take aunt Chloe's ad-
vice and "cl'ar up" without any
difficulty. A clean city is the de-
sideratum just now.
If that Coxey foolishness had
been nipped in the bud this fruit
of Debism would not have grown
to such perfectness. The letting
out of anarchy and water are
equally dangerous
st. Louis has suffered infinitely
less than Chicago in this late muss.
The reason for this is that Mis-
| souri, has not an anarchist for a
governor. The moral to this little
| tale is not obscure.
Can the dull ears OF Congress be
unstopped long enough to hear the
voice of the American people, like
the voice of many waters, calling
| for an effective measure of nation
al arbitration.
The present methods of sprink-
ling and sweeping the paved
streets of this city might be worse,
but it would be a puzzle TO the ex-
pert to tell how the worse would be
accomplished.
An autocratic government in the
hands of a vicious man is the most
dangerous thing on earth. This
truth finds perfect exemplification
in the riot precipitated by Auto
crat Debs.
So long as the outcome OF Texas
exceeds her income about thirty
million annually the old state will
not be in any haste to get rich. Re-
verse the figures and the business
! is done.
| 1t is time that the lawmakers
of this Nation understood that it
is easier to frame laws to meet eX-
listing conditions than it is to
fashion men to meet laws.
Is it a mere coincidence or is it
the result of cause, that the two
great labor riots of this country
occur under the administration of
Grover Cleveland?.
The sympathies of the masses of
the people are not with the Debites
in this fight for foreign usurpation
Of all the forces of law, order and
industrial method.
The Judge that permits his
dignity to be insulted has not the
true majesty of law in high re-
gard.
Nd Uncle Sam is slow to wrath, but
it is necessary to shoot quick all the
same when the time comes.
There never has been a strike in
this country with less foundation
for it than the present one.
The wheat growing counties of
