ness records for the period of which
he speaks as compared with those OF
the time when his own party was in
complete control and his monstrous
tariff bill was IN full operation. After
such a comparison the language en-
ployed by the Ohio politician becomes
more perplexing.
According to Bradstreet's there were
9,251 failures during the nine months
between January l and October l of
this year. or these the actual assets
were $59.7O7,O ,O31 and the liabilities
$11O. O.674,934. During the first nine
months of 1891, according to the same
non-partisan and reliable authority,
the failures were 1866, with assets of
$71.811, 320 and liabilities of $780,
811,51O. II will be seen that there
were 365 more failures this year than
in 1891. but the liabilities were $685.

The burden of Mr.. McKinley's COM
plant is that owing to the fact that
the government is in control of a
Democratic administration the busi-
ness OF the country is demoralized and
bankrupt. These figures show that
there was greater Generalization three
years ago than now, and the plain in
ference is that it was the Republican
administration and the false economic
system devised by Mr.. Mckinley
brought on the Generalization aud
bankruptcy from which the country Is
now recovering. The truth is that

role he has adopted.-Kamsas City

A Mr.. Moliner, of the City of Mex

sion of valuable relic. supposedly OF
a prehistoric civilization in Moxico,
which he purchased from a peasant,
who some years past discovered it in
the depth of an ancient tomb. 1t is
q sword made of hammered bron ze
and iron, and bears on its blade and
hilt, in characters of inlaid silver, in.
scriptions which have not yet been
deciphered. The inscriptions on one
side are in the Assyrian cuniform
characters, and on the other side ir
language which Is unknown. The
total length of the sword is trifie
over twenty-six inches, of which nine.
teen are the blade. The sword and
scabbard weigh twelve ounces. A
lion is carved on the head Of the hilt
with an inscription below. Then
comes carving of the human head
supposedly the owner of the weapon
with numerous other figures and Or

A Strong Decision.

The United States court of appeal
has overruled in part a decision OF
Judge jenkins in which the latter re-
Gently held that the employees of the
Northern Pacific railroads had nc
right to :naugurate 4 strike. The
court of appeals holds that employees
have right, either individually or in
a body, to quit work without notice,
but it also holds that strikers have no
right to intefere in any way with per-
sons who desire to remain at work.
This sounds like good law. To de-
ny men the right to quit work is to
make them abject slaves and destroy
al their rights as free American cit
liens. No one except federal Judge
would would ever have thought of es-
tablishing such a ruling.
''Under what circumstances" says
the decision, "may the employees Of
the receivers of right quit the service
in which they were engaged? Much
of the argument of counsel was direc-
ted to this question. We shall not
attempt to lay down any rule appli-
cable to every case that may arise be-
tween employer and employe. If an
employe quits with out cause and in
violation of an express contract to
serve for stated time, then his quit
ting would not be right. But the
vital question remains whether court
of equity will, under any circumstances,
by injunction, prevent one individual
from quitting the personal service OF
another. An affirmative answer to
this question is not, we think, justified
by any authority to which our attention
has been called or of which we are
aware. It would be an invasion of
ones natural liberty to compel him to
work for or remain in the personal
service of another. One who is placed
in such restraint is in a condition of
involuntary servitude-a condition
which the supreme law of the land de-
clares shall not exist anywhere within
the Jurisdiction of the United States. !"
The court is very careful, however,
to set forth that men have no right to
conspire to injure property-that is.
when they quit work they have no
right to try to prevent others from
taking their places by any means
whatsoever. Unquestionably, this is
a correct Interpretation of the law. If
the right of an employe to quit labor.
even when he is under contract to per-
form it, is held to be valid, then it
naturally follows that his employer
possesses the same right to supply his
place free from any hindrance. This
ruling may not suit some corporations
and it may not suit some labor organ
izations, but nevertheless it is good
law and common sense will commend
it.-JeGerson CITY Tribune.
