CALM AND dCLOlDLESS
Weather Bureau Printers Safe After

Weather Bureau Printers Safe After
the OfIicial storm.
The misnuderstandipg which has existed
between Secretary Morton and the Typo
graphical Unior, with regard to the prin ters
employed In the weather bureau. has been
cleared away, and white-winged peace once
more pers hes upon the weather vane Of the
bureau. There appears to have been a
tempest In n tea pot. due largely to Secre-
tary Mortons refusal to recognize the
biographical Union in the conduct OF the
printing part Of the department 1t is pos
sible. however, that the affair might have
assumed graver proportions II some practi-
cal politicians mad not taken a hand in the
matter. and by the exercise Of the same
amount of policy which a man would use in
an ordinary business affair brought the
misunderstanding to an end.
Claims and Counter Clafms.
The Typographical Union claimed thai
printers. former members Of the union
were being employed in the weather bu
reau; that they were receiving the wages
fixed by the union but were not permitted
to join the union again under fear Of dis.
mssal from Office. 1t was intimated tina,
they had been notified by their superiors
not to Join. Efforts were made to have
would not be dismissed for joining the
union. but he would have nothing to dc
with the case and refused to even admit
the existence Of the union.
Bringing In Influence.
Last week the union is said to have
sent out about fifty kilograms to the typo
graphical unions throughout the country
asking them to move on their democrat tic
Congressman and thereby bring pressure
upon the Agricultural Department to settle
the case 1t was intimated that otherwise
Mr.. MOrtons policy might result disas-
trously in the coming election.
This move bore immediate results. The
party political managers in Washington
were advised by the Congressman of the
situation. Not wishing to have a repetition
of the political experience of Whitelaw
Reid with the typographical union the man.
ayers began an investigation. They did no,
permit any theoretical scruples of Mr. Nor.
ton to stand in the way. 1t was all right
for Mr.. Morton TO entertain the theory tina
the union did not exist, but they knew tina,
they would run up against the cold fact on
election day that it did exist
No Trouble After All.
The result of the investigation was the
discovery of the fact that no such state n,
affairs existed as was charged by the
union, but that, on the contrary, the law
had been laid down in the Agricultural De-
partment that the question of a man be.
longing to the union should not affect either
his dismissal or appointment.
The trouble was that Mr. Morton's theory
about the ncn-existence of the union would
not permit him to communicate this fact
to the interested pertfDns ard thus allay
the friction. 1t may ,be assured that the
pracucaI politicisrs have had no scruples

Throwing OF all DISCUSSES, IL was the
inauguration of a huge scheme of govern
mental craftsmanship with private business

tectton for protection sake, as expoundei
by our opponents. and well 1t illustrated
paternalism.
The reaction which soon followed In the
elections of 1880 and reiterated in IS92 was
the natural and legitimate expression OF
the popular indignation at the party which
had basely surrendered to the uercenaries
within its own ranks and had iare trade
away the public good for selfish greed. The

If it be said that the new law in a single
respect is unduly favorable to one particu.

favored a dozen trusts where this may
favor one. But better, more complete and

that the very tariff duty complained OF
