THIS is a mighty government. It's
power over the law abiding citizen is
as light as the feather that floats away
upon the slightest breeze, but to the
rioter and law-breaker its little finger
is as powerful as the tornado that
sweeps forests before it. The man
who obeys the law out OF respect tor
himself and regard for peace and
order never feels the lightest touch Of
the law, but the man who has no Re
spect for himself nor for the law finds
himself in its sinewy and steel>like
grasp. Thank God for such a coun
try. Under such a government life
and property are secure and every
man has an equal chance with every
other man. Withered be the tongue
that would arouse instruction in such
a government, blasted he the hand
and arm that would give its strength
toad law breakers and rioters under
such liberal and berefcient govern
ment.

ARE LABOR UNIONS REPRE-

trary order. There cannot possibly
be among such set of intelligent men
as the members Of the Knights of
Labor q total surrender to the Chief
officer of all their rights to have some
say in such an order as this of Mr.
Sovereign. II the Knights OF Labor
are organized on the basis of repub-
lican form of government, its central
council in which all local orders are
represented must have some legisla-
tive power that Mr.. Sovereign has
transcribed when h. ordered them
all out. 1t would be most eXtrAOr-
binary for tree American citizens to
place such arbitrary power in the
hands OF one man. We do not kuo "

We have, however, regarded it as
fatuous hat 20 many Of these seper-

understood upon the order Of the chief

do the laws of the country need
amendment and readjustment, out

nv which the individual privileges OF
each member shall be protected from
the arbitrary action of the president
or executive committees of these LABOR
examinations. A great scheme OF
labor organization with the federation
of labor the controlling head OF the
combined associations, it seems to u.s.
ought to be organized very
much as republican form
of government. Each order should
have it's delegates ina general coun-
Gil of action such as the Federation Oh
Labor and no order for ageneral strike
should be given until this representa-
tive council had passed upon it,
1t is appalling to contemplate That
one man. or a few men, comprising an
executive committee should have the
nouar IN order million of men to
cease work in all their various occu'
nations. Such an order, if o6eyed,
would PROSTATE the country and nave
the effect of absolutely handing over
the reins of government to this one
man or executive committee power.
If that is the case who knows when
the time will arrive when a dictator
or an oligarchy shall assume controi

monstrous in its terrible effect Ii

MIR. CLEVELAND SETTLES THE
STRIKE,

- N n ~
The strike was virtually over when
the president of the United States was
visited by John w. Hayes, general
secretary and treasurer of the Knights
of Labor Mcclure and French of the
general executive board, and other
union society leaders, and was solicit
ted by them to appoint two arbitra-
tors together with United Labor Com
missioner Carroll b. Wright, to arbi-
trate the whole thing, He consented
to do so Just as soon as all riotous con-
duet ceased. These labor representa-
tives went back promising to stop all
violence and interference with new
employees of the railroad,
This amounts to a close of the strike
so far as all violence is used, and if rs
the railroad managers assert, they can
get as many men as they need, wemay
confidently expect business to be re-
sumed regularly on all the roads. OF
course here and there at remote points
some rioting may occur, but if
these men are true to their
promises all difficulties between
the roads and their employees will be
settled legally and amicably. There
have been numerous bills already pre-
sented to congress to prevent a recur-
renee of such a state OF affairs, but the
probability is that nothing definite
will be done until the arbitrator or
commissioners appointed under the
law 10y the president have made a
thorough investigation and reported
to the president, when it is likely he
will send a message TO congress recon-
mendiug the wisest course to pursue.

How Portland Lawyer overcame Diff

How Portland Lawyer Overcame Diff
Guilty in His Youth.
A Lowell gentleman sends to the
PRESS the following anecdote of well
known citizen of Portland
EolWhen boy Hon. Josiah 81. Drummond
lived upon farm in Winslow, in this
State. One time his father went awag
from home or few days. leaving Josiah
and younger brother IN charge of the
place. In one of the felds.was large
rock which had been in the way of the
elder Drummond's farming operations
for many days. Josiah and his brother
were directed to drill holes in this rock,
which, upon his return, their father in
tended to blow to pieces with powder.
But the boys were enjoined on no ac-
count to attempt to use the powder.
The old gentleman left, and the boys,
taking the drill Qarge churn drllD re-
paired to the field and began pounding
upon the rock. The rock proved to be
very hard indeed, and the drill hap
pened to be very dull. Young Josiah
soon discovered that they could not drill
the rock with the drill in that condition.
1t was some four miles to the black
smith, and they hardly knew what to do.
At last Josiah. who had been an am
bilious student, and had obtained
good knowledge of Natural Philosophy,
decided to test his learning. The old
gentleman had large lot of refuse tim
Der about the farm, the last OF some
old buildings. This was counted worth
less, SO Josiah told his brother to yoke
up the oxen and they would see what
they could do. The oxen were yoked,
and the younger brother was told to
haul intosthe field all the old timber he
could. He did SO with good will, and
Josiah piled the timber around and up
on the rock. Then he set it on fire. For
the greater part of the day they con-
tinued hauling tim ber.a which they piled
upon the fire. AS night was about to
come upon them, Josiah began to haul
wafer in barrels upon a drag. AS the
fire began to go down he began to
throw pals of cold water upon the rock,
which at this time was very hot. He
was pleased to hear loud reports from
the centre of the rock. He continued to
throw water until he was satisfied to
rest his case, and left it until morning,
to observe the result. In the morning
the young lawyer went TO the rock and.
10 and behold, it was literally torn in
pieces. After breakfast the oxen were
yoked and the boys went to their work.
1t was not long before the father re-
turned. Seeing the rock hauled out,
he came to the conclusion that the boys
must have used powder, SO he took his
wife to task for letting the boys have
the powder. The mother protested her
innocence and declared that they had
had no powder. Moreover upon exami-
nation he could not find where the rock
had been drilled. 1T was great nlys-
terry to the father, who would not be
lieve his own eyes, until young Josiah
appeared upon the scene and told the
puzzled father how it was done.
