A DISGRACEFUL NOMINATION.

The appointment of Clifton r. Breck-
inridge as envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to Russia
is the reward which Cleveland
gives to him for his "noble fight for
tariff REFORM" but il seems a little
strange to those who recall the investi :
CATION of the Congressional committee
OF 1890 into the brutal murder of Colo
mel Clayton at Plummersville, Ark, and
the horrible and brutal disclosures
made at that time and the unfiinching
way in which he defended the murder
ers who made his own election posi- BILE
by the dastardly assassination of his COM
petitor. Lawlessness of the most out
rageous character was rampant in his
district and even the investigating COM
mittee OF Congress dared to venture
within its confines only when
guarded by United States marsh
ais and detectives. Personally
of course Breckenridge did not commit
the murder but he profitsd by it and
defended the murderers. He has had no
experience as diplomat. He is an un-
successful business man, he is ignorant
OF international law, and his only quail
ficstion for the high position is that le
always responded when the White House
clock struck.
Yet this man Cleveland selects as above
all other Democrats 10 thus signally
honor. The President has but recently
exercised his high authority To stamp
out lawlessness aud murder and vet ere
the ink Is dry on the order to General
Schoheld to use the United States troops
for this purpose he signs commission
conferring on willing and ready bene-
ficiary OF assassination and the friend
and companion Of suspected murderers
one Of the highest honors In his power.
Is not this q notice to the South that
murders aud assassinations will be over
looked and even rewarded IL the Soutb
is kept solid for the Democracy?
Was there no one else In the great
Democratic party worthy of such high
honor. that this man Of all others should
be selectedf The selection u . disgrace

VESTS SARCASM.

Senator Vest refused to be pulled down
by even the President, and his speech
yesterday was cool, sarcastic even to in
science, bitter and determined. 1t was
q matter OF congratulation, he said sar-.
castically, that the Senator from New
York and the President were at last able
to stand together on any platform at all.
Uaughter.) A political millennium
seemed to have come. at least In modi-
fed degree. rhe lion and the lamb of
New York had lain down together; and
the committee on ways and means now
led them.
The time had come, he said, for plain
speaking in regard to this matter. He
had been consistent friend of the
present occupant of the Presidential
chair, but the Democratic party was
greater than any man. 1t had survived
Jefferson, Madison and jackson, and it
would outlive Grover Cleveland, who
did not embody all the Democracy and
all the tariff reform of this country.
How Grover is getting his party to-
gether these days. As diplomat he
is about as successful as his friend Gres-
ham.

corporations. Tho only kind Of Arbitratiea
that can DO applied to them Is the genuine
KIND In which the parties act voluntarily.
ana this cannot be brought about by
law The reliance must be upoa the
pressure OF public sentiment In favor OF
It, and the growth OF a conviction that in the
long run tins method though 1t implies a sac
iiaco to some extent of the undoubted rights
OF both employer and employed, will bring
advantages that will more than Offset the sac
rince. whether this conviction caa be brought
about is uncertain, but until II Is. 1t is safe to
say that arbitration will not come into general
use.

THE NEXT SENATE.

A correspondent asks how many SEN
ators there are whose terms expire in
March next. The Republicans are:
Joseph M. Carey. Wyoming; William
Chandler, New Hampshire; 5. M. Gull
ON, Illinois; N. f. Dixon, Rhode Island; /;
j. N. Dolph, Oregon; William p. Frye.
Maine; A. Higgins, Delaware; q. +.
Hoar, Massachusetts; G. f. Manderson,
Nebraska; j. Mcmillan, Michigan; r. F.
Pettigrew, South Dakota; 4. c. Power,
Montana; Ct. s. Shoup. Idaho; w. ID.
Washburn, Minnesota; j. +. Wilson,
Iowa, and L. o. Wolcott, Colorado.
The Democrats are: j. III. Berry, Ar
kansas; M. G. Butler, South Carolina;
ID. Caffery, Louisiana; j. N. Camden,
West Virginian; r. Coke, Texas; l. q.
Harris, Tennessee; L. Hunton, Virginia;
w. Lindsay, Kentucky; J. Martin,
Kansas; A. j. McLaurin, Mississippi; j.
r. Mcpherson, New Jersey; j. T. Nor
gan, Alabama; NJ. w. Ransom, North
Carolina, and p. Walsh, Georgia.
In Rhode Island Dixon's successor has
already been chosen; ex-Governcr Gear
will take the place of Senator Wilsol of
Iowa, and j. S. Martin will succeed
Hunton. Lindsay and Caffery have had
their seats already voted to them and
Morgan's return is assured. Other
Senators, including Dolph. Frye and
others. will be returned without any
great effort.
The only fighting chance that the Re
publicans have to replace a Democrat
with Republican seems to be in Nc
Pherson's case In New Jersey, and there
is even less show for the Democrats to
capture any Republican Senatorship.
Utah will have two Senator'S to elect
within the life of the next Congress, and
the chances for Republican success there
are said to be good. 1t would take but
A very little change to place the Senate

Arbitration or Coercoin.
Portland Press.

Arbitration is undoubtedly q promising
method Of settling disputes between labor
aud capital, and warding Of strikes that are
disastrous TO both-probably the most promis-
ing method that has get been suggested. But
the essence Of arbitration Is that IL be voiun-
tary. When men are compelled to refer their
dispute TO third parties for settlement, Il Is
simply coercion. Compulsory arbitration is
contradiction Of terms. IL tho arbitration
be compulsory 10 is not arbitration at ali.
When one talks Of compelling the settlement
Of labor disputes by'arbitration he Is simply
advocating coercion. lie is saying To the en-
ployer and the employed II you cannot agree
then some third party shall examine into the
merits Of your dispute, and whatever decision
this third party arrives at you shall accent.
Calling such process as this compulsory ar
bitratioo doesn't change its character bit.
IL Is possible that this kind OF arbitration can
be made applicable TO railroad corporations
over which the Government has the right 10
exercise a certain amount Of control, but n
cannot bs made 10 apply to purely private

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Cleveland aud the Sugar Bargains.
N. Y. Tribune.

It's great misfortune for the country that
the President is not equally courageous and
manly In bis declatations regarding the sugar
infamy. He calls 10 "a delicate subject" and
remembering Sugar contributions to Demo-
cratic campaign funds, all men laugh thereat
He thinks that Congress ought to free itself
from the prejudice which the infamous bar
gain has excited, and 'coolly weigh the con-
siderations which In framing tariff legisla-
tion ought to guide our treatment of sugar
as q taxable article" If oil this means
anything, 1t means that the Demo-
cratic party having sold out to the
Sugar Trust. ought to keep its bargain, but
ought not to let In all the other monopoies
with which the Sugar Trust has bargained for
votes enough to control legislation. The
President will find that II is easier to de-
nounce the combination than to break Il. The
country cannot commend him for yielding
weakly on this most shameless. most powerful
and most corrupt Of all the bargains made in
the Senate, but viii none the less honor the
fidelity to principle which hc exhibits In other
matters.
The meaning of his letter Is that free coal
and free iron must be held essential, though
the Sugar Trust may get In some ad valorem
duty its price for services rendered. II Is
question, however, whether the sugar mon
opoly can win alone, even with the Presidents
help and the help of the Nova Scotia coal and
the Juragua iron interests. But the Presi-
dents Indignant arraignment of his party in
Congress will fix the judgment of millions
who know little and care little of the large
personal interests involved. IL the tariff bill
goes through as IL passed the Senate. millions
VIII ask Mr.. Cleveland why the wool of the
farmer was made free and the great corpora
tions are enriched by millions for each. That
very question the President himself may have
to answer II the bill goes to him for his
signature.

CHICAGO, July 13--It is the opinion of
careful and conservative observers today
chat the strike, so far as Chicago and this
vicinity are concerned, is dying by inches.
There may be few more manifestations
Of its continued existence in the form OF
minor walkouts and similar demonstra-
tions, but these will be but the spasms
that precede final dissolution.
The strike situation throughout the
country is in general one of quietness
The central point of interest has been the
meeting of labor leaders, with President
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor at thejE head, in this city
1t is admitted that the action of that
body if taken unanimously, will have
marked effect ON the situation, and per
sons well informed as to the predictions
of the persons composing it express the
opinion that unanimous action by it, ex-
cept in the direction of quieting the pres
ent agitation or turning it into other chan
nels. is unlikely.

put a course for the future. After q
lengthy discussion it was decided to send

1t was learned elsewhere, however, that
Director Kern was sent to St. Louis to
rally the forces there. Hogan was sent
out over the Northern Pacific to stir up
the employees of that company, and Good
win was sent over the Northwestern line
to use his influence with the employees OF
that system and if possible induce them to
go out These delegates are all members
Of the executive board of the union. Other
emissaries were sent out TO work with EN-
ployees of the many lines entering this

Rsoting at Oakland.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17.--The South
sen Pacific Railway company, backed by
the combined military forces of the fed
sral and state governments, continues to
maintain fairly satisfactory passenger
service in northern California. Notwith-
standing this military array, however, the
railroad officials have been unable to
retrieve the lost management of their
freight business. The passenger service,
too is by no means restored, for trains
are still sidetraoked at night as a precau-
tionary measure against train wreckers.
In Oakland the strikers formed into
several riotous mobs of 200 to 300 men
sach All incoming and outgoing pas
senger trains were SO strongly guarded
that they were not interfered with, but
the fury of these mobs fell upon such luck
less nonunion men as the strikers were
able to waylay to and from their work.
Several times the troops were called out
to disperse the rioters and rescue nonunion
men
