Was Entirely Too Careful,

cording to the Chicago Record, who recently
went home from a club function at a scandal
ousiy late hour, or, if you please, at an equal
ly scandalouSly early hour. He had a whole
some regard for his better half, o he entered
the house very dignitedly, hung up his hat in
its proper place and mounted the stairway TO
his apartment with exemplary precision. He

der that his wife should have no possible oc-
caslon to reproach him next day. Indeed.
he conducted himself with that nice partien-
larity which is not unfrequently horn OF a
consciousness that too much wine has been
lmbibed.
We'll, when he woke up and dressed and
came downstairs his wife received him smil-

pebs, Responsibility.


The Chicago Herald, which is one Of
the strongest opponents of the strike in
augurated by the railway union, says
that Mr.. Debs, the president of the union,
should not be held responsible for the
strike, because the members of the union
would not have struck unless they wanted
to do so. This is a very generous view to
take of Mr.. Debs' responsibility in the
matter, but it is not altogether just TO the
members of the union. It is safe to say
that not one member in ten of the union
understood the merits of the boycott and
the strike. AS general rule the mem
bers Of such unions leave the question as
to whether they shall strike or not to
their chiefs, who have little else to do
than TO study questions that are supposed
to be of interest to their respective organ
izations. The chiefs are chosen for their
supposed intelligence, and are relied upon
to do only that which is beneficial to their
unions.
When the men are told to strike they
do so, because they have confidence in
their chiefs. In this Pullman boycott
they did not stop to inquire whether it
wasright or not to- try to force the rail
ways to break solemn contracts with the
Pullman company. They did not inquire
whether it was contrary to the interstate
commerce law to interfere with interstate
commerce, and they did not inquire
whether their action would likely bring
them into open hostility to the United
States government. They naturally ex-
pected that their president, Mr. Debs,
had studied all of these questions, and
that he was prepared to order them to do
what was for their best interest.
For their sakes it is greatly to be re-
GREETED that has got them into trouble.
Most of them probably have families to
support, and without work their lot is
likely to be a hard one. When they
think of the matter dispassionately, they
can hardly come to any other conclusion
than that Mr.. Debs is resposible for their
unfortunate condition.
If they had had a grievance the situa-
ton would have been different. But they
were complaining of nothing. AS far as
known their wages were satisfactory
and were paid promptly. They were
called upon to give up their means of sup
port because the employees of car build
ing company had a grievance against
their employers. They obeyed because
they were told that their interests re-
quired them to obey. If they had been
told the whole truth about the situation
and given an opportunity to do what they
thought to be for their own good, it is
doubtful if they would have favored a
strike. If Mr.. Debs had considered their
interests only he could not have seen his
way clearly odo what he did. He is
therefore responsible for the boycott and
strike and also for the sad plight in which
the strikers find themselves.

MIR. Gould in Great Britain.

A few years ago the late Jay Gould
was peddling rat traps and making sun
dials for the farmers in the backwoods
districts of New York. To-day his son
George is in Scotland hobnobbing with
royalty, sailing yacht races with the
future King of Great Britain and the
present Emperor of Germany, and gen
orally cutting such a swath as to astonish
his fellow countrymen. Indeed, there is
not solitary descendant of the Knicker-
bockers who is lin it" with George Gould
at the moment. He is head and Shout
ders, socially speaking, above any prod
uct of New York at present in the public
eye. Not even MIR. Astor, who is running
a newspaper in London with a staff com
posed of dukes and lords and other titled
fellows is to be mentioned in the same
breath with young Mr.. Gould.
1t really doesn't make any difference
that MIR. Gould boat is not winning any
races MIR. Gould himself is winning at a
pace that must almost take his breath.
He is going to the front in a social way
that would make a less level-headed fell
low dizzy. He has been feted by the
Royal Yacht CUB, on which occasion he
made speech, and the very best houses
in London will be open to him when he
gets back there. Indeed, he may be a
guest at Marlborough House; and that to
a young man as rich as Mr.. Gould, and
who has heretofore been rather outside of
the pale of society, " would be worth the
cost Of the whole campaign.
young Mr. Gould is a fitting successor to
his father. II will be remembered that
he bought the Nigilant for about oue-half

The sailor,s Ordinance

The city ordinance requiring sailors con-
nected with ships in Savannah harbor to
sleep on shore during the hot months
should not be abandoned hastily 1t was not
adopted hastily. 1t would not have been
adopted at all if experience had not shown
that sailors who sleep on the ships in this
harbor are liable to be attacked by
malarial fever during the months men,
toned
The purpose of the ordinance was not
to benefit sailor boarding house keepers,
though it is probable that they are ben
Gifted by it. The only things that were
considered were the health of the crews
of vessels, the health of the city and the
bad effect upon the reputationof the port
that sickness among a vessels crew after
leaving the port has.
1t is true that there is no such ordi-
nance at Charleston. The reason is that
Charleston is a salt water port. This is
a fresh water port and the water of the
river is largely the drainage of swamps.
That the ordinance has saved many
sailor spell of sickness there can be no
doubt If statistics were at hand show
ing the number of sailors attacked by ma
larial fevers every summer, before the or
dinance was adopted, and the number
since, it would be admitted doubtless
without question that the ordinance is a
wise one.
The decision of Recorder Wilson may
be sound law, but whether it is or not the
city, before ceasing to enforce an ordi-
nance of that kind, should make a very
thorough inquiry as to whether or not the
ordinance is beneficial in any respect.
1t is well understood that it is burden
upon commerce, and all who are inter
ested in promoting the commerce of the
city would like to have it repealed, pro-
vided it serves no good purpose; but if it
does serve good purpose, if it does pro
tect the health of the city and the health
OF slilors, il ought to be so amended as to
make it constitutional if possible, and
rigidly enforced We ought not to be
hasty in tearing down barriers that were
erected as protection against disease
The fact that we have enjoyed immunity
from serious epidemics for so many years
may be due to these barriers to which OBJ
lection is now made.

ADVICE to Wasternars.

The New York Times expresses the
opinion that 1.-The westerners who are
writing foot. articles in the magazines
about the migra ton of the literary CEN
ter will find more respectable employment
in commencing to their fellow citizens the
maintenance of the law of the land" In
view of the fact that the anarchist ele-
ment in the west appears to be large and
growing, the advice is timely. There are
governors of states and mayors of cities
in the west who are so afraid of the anar-
chist vote that they fail to do their duty.
If all the governors and mayors had done
their duty promptly when the riotous
demonstrations were first noticed. there
would have been very little lawlessness
in Chicago or elsewhere. There would
have been a strike, of course, but it would
have been quiet affair The
trains would have been run on
time, and there would have been very
little interruption of business. The rail
road managers have said all along that
they could get plenty of men to run their
trains, and that the reason they didn't
run them was because their employees and
trains we're interfered with That they
spoke the truth is shown by the fact that
as soon as the government awed the an
archist element into submission to law
the trains were run regularly
These governors and mayors who failed
to do their duty, and who tried to pre-
vent the President from doing his duty,
will not be forgotten by the people.
When they again seek the support of
treir fellow-citizens they viii not get it.
They win be told to go for support to
their anarchist friends. Even the work.
ingmen despise them, for the working
men, those who have obeyed their unions
and struck, as well as those who have not
struck, declare they are against all forms
of lawlessness.
The western writers should drop the
literary center issue, and devote them
selves, as advised by the Times, to inspir-
ing their fellow-citizens with a wholesome
res pect for law and order.

There is not monarchy on the .Ameri-
can continent. When Dom Pedro of Bra
I'll was put off his throne, the last
American monarchy passed out of exis-
tence. 1t is in line with what is called
American policy" for the people of the
United States to be strongly opposed to
the re-establishment of royalty on this
continent; nevertheless we may soon see
another American monarchy, whether we
like it or not, The Queen of Great Britain
is the sovereign of Canada, and the Cana
dian papers are discussing the question,
why she should not add Queen of Cana
da" to her already Ions list of titles. The
proposition is being favorably considered
in the Dominion; should the British par
lament look upon it the same way, a
parliamentary joint resolution, or some
thing of that Sort would create an Ameri-
can monarchy.

Not an Arbitration.

The President has not agreed to ap.
point a commission to arbitrate the differ
ences between the parties to the boycott
and strike, which are now practically
over. He has no power to appoint com
mission for that purpose. What he has
done is this: He has agreed to appoint a
commission to investigate the causes of
the boycott and strike. There is a law
authorizing him to do that. The com
mission will make its report to the Presi-
dent, who will, of course, send it to con
gress.
The report may open the way
for legislation for the settlement
of labor troubles. 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that it may. Strikes
and boYcotts do an immense amount
of damage to business and are hurtful alike
to employers and employees. Unless some
way is found for prevent ting them they
are likely to increase in mum Der and
magnitude in proportion as the industries
of the country increase.
The Debs strike has presented ques-
tions that have never before occupied the
public mind, and they are likely to have
a very important bearing upon differences
between insterstate railroads aud their
employees in the future. One of these
questions is the right of the national gov
eminent to prevent interference with in
terstate commerce. Another is, what
constitutes conspiracy TO obstruct the
mails and interstate commerce. Judge
Grosscup, who charged the grand jury
that indicted the officers of the railway
union, defined conspiracy of this kind
more clearly than it has ever been de-
fined from the bench in this country be-
fore. He threw new light upon a sub
ject to which very little attention had
been given; and it was a charge that
leaned neither to capital nor labor If
his Interpretation of the law is sustained,
it will be regarded as a much more serious
matter than it has been heretofore to in
terfere with the trains of interstate rail-
ways, whether they carry the mails or
only passengers and freights.
The trial of Debs and the directors of the
railway union will be profoundly inter
esting one, not because Of the prominence
of Debs and the vastness of the strike
which he brought about, but because OF
the questions that viii be discussed. If
from the trial there come suggestions that
point to an acceptable plan for preventing
strikes, there will be some compensation
for the losses and suffering that the strike
has caused.

Lost and Found.

One of the most remarkable stories Of
Losing and Finding, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, is the following: 1t seems that a
certain eminent English lawyer was on A
visit at Mimic In the lifetime Of the Sc ond
earl OF that name, and day or two before the
hearing Of an important case, in which he
had cen retained as counsel He had
brought with him bundle Of papers con.
nected with the suit in question, and these he
took up with him to his led room. on the
following day the packet could nowhere be
found. Careful search was of course made
but quite IN vain aud eventually the advocate
had TO go into court without It,
Years passed without any tiding of the
missing bundle, Till the gentleman ohanced to
be once more guest at Mimic and occupying
the same / ell room. The morning after his
arrival he awoke to see the long. lost papers
lying on the dressing table. The presumption
Is, that on the first occasion, he hid them in
his sleep, and on the second visit he found
them in his sleep; but where he hid them and
found them has never been discovered.

almost certain that Senator Hill could have
the nomination for President next time if he
desired it; but his vicious course in the SEN

the democrats against it, makes it certain
that, unless there is some unforeseen revolu-

Senator PETER is rapidly finding out
that anarchist ranting in congress won't
do. Since his notorious speech the other
day, in which he pictured the delights of
country without a government and
throttled by lawlessness, he has been vir-
tually ostracised by his colleagues. No
senator not ev,n Mr.. Kyle, the South
Dakota populist, will so much as sit with
him in the Senate restaurant while he
takes his soup. Allen, the other populist,
has not in several days been in a condi-
ton to take sides with anybody on any
thing. Edward Atkinson, the economist.
had written to PETER asking a correspon-
dence upon matters Of finance; but since
PETERS speech Mr.. Atkinson has sent
him letter Withdrawing his proposition
to discuss money and declaring that he
wants nothing to do with a man who
holds such opinions as PETER voiced in
the Senate. 1t is said by the New York
Times CORRESPONDENT that these rebukes
are having their effect upon the be-
whiskered kansan, and that during the
past few days his naturally sallow com
plexion has taken on an ashy hue Mean
while PETER contends, according 10 the
Washington Post, that his speech
breathed the quintesscnce Of loyalty. and
that there is 10 man in the country who
would fly 10 the governments defense
sooner than he.
