LABOR EXONERATED.

The text Of the report Of the strike commits
sion. given in our news columns this morn
ing. is a complete vindicatiOn Of organized la
Dor and an expert denunciation Of the meth
DDS pursued by that roIing-stock trust, de-
nominated the General Managers Assoeia-
ton
It is significant that this cain, judicial
weighing Of the situation has resulted so dis
sstrously for our conservatively opinionated
editorial brethren.
There is no evidence before the commits
sion that the officers of the American Rail-
way Union at any time participated in, or
advised intimidation, violence, or destruction
Of property"
What a sound that sentence has,
How about it, you gentlemen who croaked
at Debs and Debsism until denunciation failed
you from sheer exhaustion?
This report almost marks an epoch in the
history OF labor in this country. Testimony
from such a source has never been offered in
the great. ever-continuous trial of organized
labor versus despotic corporations.
TIE document is addressed to President
Cleveland. but it also comes TO the tired hearts
Of the toiling masses with strong, unbiased
words OF hope.
1t comes also to the ears Of those who stand
ready tc cry down any honest attempt on the
part Of workingmen TO right their grievous
wrongs.
The existence Of the strike commission has
not been in vain. It has written a sociologi-
cal document worth all the editorial and uni
versity opinions extant.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The launching at the Cramps shipyard in
Philadelphia yesterday Of the new American
liner st. Louis was well worthy the presence
OF the President Of the United States and of
tho honor conferred by Mrs. Cleveland in
christening the snip. The event marks an
epoch in the history Of the American mer-
chant marine
Time was when bottoms owned by Ameri-
can citizens hoated on every sea and in every
port Of any note; when their sails whitened
every ocean, and the tonnage carried by
American vessels stood first on the list Time
passed and from causes which it is useless
now to recount, the American ocean-carrying
trade disappeared and foreign owners reaped
tne profits which formerly went into Ameri-
can pockets.
BY the rehabilitation Of our Navy new i'm
petus has bee given TO ship building in the
United States. and the launch OF the St.
Louis. to be followed speedily by the launch
ing Of her sister ship. the ST. Paul, marks the
revival Of the construction OF American
steamships for commercial purposes. Ere

SUGAR AGAIN LED THE LIST
Uncertainty as to the Government Bond Issue
Caused an Unsettled Feeling at First
Then There Was Rally, but the Closing
Weak-Cordage on the Decline.

New YORK. Nov. 1.-THE week opened on
the stock exchange with rather unsettled
feeling owing TO the uncertainty which
seemed to prevail as to the government bond
issue. 1t was expected by the street that the
official announcement that the loan would be
made would be given 10 the public through
the morning papers, and the fact that the
Washington authorities were still silent on
the subject created feeling of disappoint-
ment, which, in some cases, led to realizing
sales and in others to selling for the short ac-
count, with the result that a reaction of 1sal
per cent took place in the first quarter OF an
hour.
There was, however, such a ready market
for the stock offered that the downward move
ment was checked, and under leadership OF
Sugar, New Jersey Central, Manhattan, Chi
cago Gas, and Delaware and Hudson the
market took sharp upward turn, but by
1880 O'Clock had lost its impetus and was on
the down track again, Sugar being hammered
by the bears and Manhattan easing of on an
unfavorable quarterly report With the ex-
ception of a slight rally shortly after II
o'clock, the tendency of prices was toward
lower figures until midday, when speculation
became steady.

Alexander Peterson, the noted South Wash
ington "speak easy"and disorderly house
keeper, has at last been captured after elud-
ing the Washington police since the first OF
last April. On the latter date he played a
clever "April fool' game on the law officers
by giving them the slip and suddenly depart
ing for New York, where he has been ever
since.
Peterson was arrested by Sergt. Daley and
his raiders on the charge of keeping u di.or-
derly house and whisper shop on Third
street, between E and streets southwest He
put up $50 collateral on the night OF his arrest.
and appeared in court the following
morning and demanded jury trial Bonds
were fixed At 1900, and Peterson was given
until 10 o'clock the following morning to pro-
cure bondsman.
Instead OF doing this. however, he boarded
train and left town, going to New York
An attachment for his arrest was issued, but
it could not be served until yesterday. when
Peterson returned to Washington on visit.
Officer George Knupfer, OF the Fourth pre-
cinct, spied him in the afternoon at the
corner Firstof and streets southwest as
he was about to board street car and placed
him under arrest. He will be tried to-day on
the original charge, as we'll as for contempt
OF court In skipping his bond before it was
given. Peterson has been convicted several
times on similar charges.

many years shall have passed the American
visiting the great seaports of his own country,
or in foreign lands, will not look in vain for
the Stars and Stripes floating from American
ocean steamers, and the millions Of American
dollars now paid in freights to foreign ship
owners will so 10 swell the bank accounts Of
our own people.
The new vessels will embody many evi-
dences of American skill and ingenuity. They
will be as fast as the fastest; safer than the
safest now afloat; they will carry out the
American idea of comfort in travelling. and in
this respect also will be revelation to for
eigners. Best of all, they will stand for the
achievement of American workingmen, from

NIB. WILSON'S EXPLANATION.

Chairman Wilson has hit of the true causes
of the Democratic rout in the late elections
with more sense than is usually shown by po-
litical partisans. He recognizes that the In
dustrial discomfort pervading the country has
deeper reasons for being than acts of Con-
gress or mere tariff agitation. 1t has its root
in vast economic changes which have been
going on for the past two decades, revolution
izing the face OF industry and commerce, sub
stituting machinery for human labor, leveling
down the wage SCALE making the workman a
mere unit of force in the mechanism of indus
trial society.
These changes, brought into stronger view
by the prevalent Industrial depression, have
induced spirit of discomfort that looks to
governmental powers for relief. Mr.. Wilson
says that the protective policy has taught de-
pendence and bred the idea that somehow or
other the general government must give life
to industry and prosperity TO the people. The
elections of November are an appeal TO
Congress to do something for the relief of
economic conditions grown too hard for en-
durance. That appeal, under our form of
Limitation of Congress, cannot be satisfac-
torily answered, and herein lies the danger of
the situation to the party about to take the
reins of legislative power. If it cannot give
reply 10 the popular discomfort, or appease
the popular clamor for economic relief, it is
lost
Mr.. Wilson, therefore, predicts short lease
of power for any party promising to do, in
the way Of industrial legislation, more than
it can perform. What the great Republican
victory of November means is that thou
sands OF men want employment, opportunity
TO make livelihood, chance of sustenanee.
To reply 10 this unusual demand upon the
Federal government with tariff legislation is
TO give the people a stone where they have
asked for bread.
