The Power of a Word.

The most potent of all the
weapons in the arsenal Of the
strikers is the familiar term, ''scab. "
This one word Of a single syllable
has been Of greater service to them
than all the arguments and
entreaties that they have employed.
1t represents in four letters the
essence of their philosophy, and
when they hurl it at a man, or at
his wife and children, they leave
him helpless. Thousands Of
workingmcn threw down their
tools at the bidding Of Debs
against their own judgment and
with a feeling Of bitter protest
simply because they could not
bear to be called "scabs"; and
many others were deferred from
taking their places by the fear OF
being thus stigmatized. The
vocabulary Of labor reform is not
very effective, generally speaking,
as the proclamations Of its leaders
plainly demonstrate; but this par
ticular word has somehow been
invested with extraordinary force
BY some ineNplicable process in
philology it has acquired a signih-
canoe that is without parallel and
that battles comprehension. No
body can tell how it came to be so
tremendous as an instrument OF
intimidation, or what occult quality
there is in it to scare men away
from honest work and drive them
into the ranks Of the idlers and
rioters.
1t is we'll known, of course, that
when man is called a "scab,
nothing worse is meant than that
he is a non-union laborer, Or one
who is out Of work and willing tC
accept it when it is offered to him
That is all that is implied by the
word as used to promote the cause
OF labor. 1t does not signify that
the individual thus spoken of is
wanting in any Of the essentia.
requirements of good citizenship
but only that he insists upon the
right of independent action with
regard to his own affairs, and will
not consent to Join an order which
would readily accept him without
questioning his character. He is
denounced as "scab," that is tc
say, for a reason that does not ii
the least pertain to his integrity
his sobriety, or his general reputa
ton in the community where he
| lives. Nevertheless, the applica
ton of this short epithet to {

Was there much complaint
among the people for years past
up to 1892? There has been a
good deal since that date.

Tariff reform in Congress
doesn't seem at all happy. Should
Congress drop the subject the
people will not strike, but they will
build National bonhres and shout.
Now that peace is restored in
Chicago, would it be too much to
ask President Cleveland to direct
the attention Of the regular army
to that other tie-up by professional
agitators which is interfering with
and destroying the business of the
country? Congress, as we'll as
Debs, ought to be amenable to the
laws.

Cannon created great amusement by
telling how the Democratic national
convention had prepared platform, and
how, afterward, THAT great and good

Turning TO the Democratic side he
asked; "Who is your prophet? Is it

or mugwumps.
After Cannon had concluded, the de-
bare took different direction. Wise of
Virginia delivered speech in which he
challenged Reed to claim the credit for
the idea Of couRting mem bers to make a
quorum. The originator of that idea, he
asserted, was John Randolph Tucker OF
Virginia, who IA years ago proposed
modification to the rules designed to
take into account the presence OF men,
bers in making up quorum, but who
refused to vote, but on that occasion
Reed, with great vehemence, denounced
the proposition. He had urged that it
was not the physical presence OF ma
jority OF the members which the consti-
tuition had contemplated as a quorum,
but majority present and participat-
ing-a thing, added Wise, sarcastically,
which Thomas B. Reed hsa not done for
a month.

The Venerable senator MorrilI Makes q
Tariff speech.
WASHINGTON, April 18. In the senate,
today, arising to question of privilege,
Senator Coffey OF Louisiana denied that
he was an obstrHctionist and not in
harmony with the Democratic party.
He should, he said, actively support
the tariff bill as amended by the senate
finance cOmmltJee:
Pefer's resolution for a select commit
tee to receive petitions from Coxey went
over for today.
Gallinger of New Hampshire gave
notice that he would speak on the tariff
Friday and Palmer that he would speak
on the tariff next Tuesday.
The venerable Senator Morrill, of
Vermont, who recently celebrated his
84th birthday, and the Nestor OF the
senate, was recognized and WAS accorded
more respectful attention than has
fallen to the lot of most speakers on
the tariff question. In spite of his adj
vAnced age, he spoke clearly, though
evidently suffering somewhat from
cold.
He expressed regret that the finan-
cial and industrial crisis should be con-
tinued by vain.gloriouu attempt to
carry out the Democratic platform. He
made biting references to the trouble
the Democrats made for themselves
over the bill, and pointed out items on
which they compounded with their
principles. Concerning the rates re-
ported in the bill, he declared the senate
finance committee fixed them without
the votes of the Repu ublican members

minority go q tariff for revenue only
proves to be ''only political tariff void
after the next election" A special evil
of the bill, he thought, was the absolute
ad valorem system. The reciprocity
arrangements which benefit the farmer
would be sbrogated, and the income tax
was an unusual blunder even for Dem
ocratic administration to make. Should
the bill ever become law he would re-
gret it, because of the calamities with
which it's chapters will be pregnant.
Morrill, after speaking 65 minutes
concluded his remarks at 2:05 O'Clock
and Immediately left the senate.
Mills gave notice that on Tuesday
next he would submit some remarks
on the tariff.
Turpie (Dem.) of Indiana spoke in
support of the tariff bill. He discussed
the effect of a high tariff on the agricul-
tural interests. He introduced the
topic by the assertion that agriculture
was monopoly for America, owing to
the cheapness of the land, and it vas
from the farmers that the demand for
repeal WIGS loudest.
After Turpie had concluded, Senator
Cameron of Pennsylvania took the floor
in opposition to the bill.
Following Cameron his colleague,
Quay continued mis- speech begun last
Saturday, discussing the production of
iron.
AT 5 O'Clock, in accordance with the
terms of agreement of last week, which
was renewed yesterday, Quay suspended
the second installment of his speech.
1t is to be continued at later day.
Sherman gave notice that at 5 O'Clock
tomorrow he would ask the senate to
listen to eulogies to the late Representa-
tive Enoch OF Ohio.
Harris then, at 5 10. moved an execu-
tive session; it was agreed to, and at
