Quincy has found a defender against
charges OF pernicious partisanship in the
distribution of consular favors in the per-
Son of Senator Hoar. In the course Of SEN
atortal debate Mr.. Hoar insisted that IL
was unjust to blame Mr.. Quincy for the
rapidity Of State Department action. Mr..
Quincy was not President of the United

THE LONDON TIMES.
1t Takes a Hand In

LONDON, July l4.-The Times, in its
financial article, comments at length
upon the light the American strikes
larged share which labor has been TAX
ing of joint product of labor and capi-
tai. 1t contends that the questions of
currency depreciation, silver, ETC..
sinks into insignificance compared
with the immense reduction in the
returns on capital due to continual
rise in wages. 1t says the capitalists
of the United States are reduced to a
striking point, at which they are pre-
pared to stop their works unless a
wages reduction is conceded. The in
flation of trade, finance and the labor
market had to be followed by a natur-
al, and in some cases violent, collapse.
In England the process is less violent.
but it is preceding
The Thunderer, the organ of cor
ruption and aristocracy, has got
liberty so far suppressed in Ireland
that it feels it can turn its attention
to America; and the foregoing is one
of its utteranceS.
Yes: labor gets too much and capital
too little. Who doubts it? See the
palatial homes, the seaside villas. the
wine-bills, the silks and satins of the
laborers. How fat they are. How
jolly. And then look at the poor CAPT
talists, marching in CoXey brigades,
dusty, dirty, ragged, hungry: clamor-
ing for work and food
And capital proposes to "strike" if
it cannot force down the wages of la
Dor still lower. They threaten to
stop employing the ,workmen. And
what will they do then with the
money and their mills? Why butter
the first and eat it; and turn the other
into skating rinks. How rich they
will be in a few years. And in the
meantime the government may be
driven to advance the money to the
wOrkmen to organize cooperate
companies and get clear of the capi-
talists forever. Lord. How their
eyes would hang out at that prospect.
This ,chole right is orer the dirision OF the
profit of labor. Capital says labor
should be content with 10 per cent Of
achat 1t produces. Labor asks for Is per
cent. The time will come when it
will get IS per cent, and one hundred
years from now it will have it all.

The ordering out of United States
troops to put down the strike in Hi
nois and other states was not only
needless, but a direct viola tion of the
constitution of the United States,
which provides the manner in which
the United States can obtain power to
suppress domestic violence. .-Milwau-
kee News.
And the Chicago Times says:
1T is damning record for the
federal administration and one which
will produce bitter results. If there
be cardinal prccept in our national
code it is the assertion Of the right to
local self-government, and that light
is not to be ovcrridden by railroads on
the specious plea of interstate inter
ests. The nation will not tolerate the
theory that the police and the sheriff
shall abdicatc their functions in favor
of the secretary of war. Here in Chi
cagO there was ne reason for putting
federal troops in the field, because
there had been no disorder which the
local authorities were not able to sup
press. The troops should be sent back
to Fort Sheridan and the action of
President Cleveland should be con-
demned."
This is no longer the government
founded by Washington and Jefferson,
but military despOtism. /. d.

if he was living at the beginning of
the Second Empire, when Louis
Napoleon was subverting the republic;
and the villainous, hirelng newspa-
pers were clamoring for a stronger
government and ridiculing liberty.
The nation, we are told, has the
right to ride rough-shod over the
rights of the states under the federal
constitutions; everything must give
way to the central power; the army is
entitled to all respect, and natst be in
creased; and the states are now mere
counties, PROSTATE under the feet Of
an imperial, omnipotent, irresponsible
government, welded by corporations

Well Done.

The denomination of Haldor E.
BOen, for Congress in the Seventh dis
trict, is a deserved recognition of his
excellent record in the House. He
has shown capacity of growth that
is extraordinary: and he has done all
that any new man could do. He has
not been able to accomplish much: but
he belonged to a small minority in the
midst of a hostile majority, which,
though nominally divided into Demo
Gratis and Republicans, was really a
unit whenever the money power was
at stake.
The reelection of Mr.. Boen is GER
tainty. We hear that that shrewd old
politician, Mr.. ComstOck. sees the
handwriting on the wall so plainly
that he refuses to run against him on
Republican ticket.
Boen will go back to Congress with
increased experience and will be bet
ter able to serve his constituents. He
is one Of the rising men of the state.

SIR GEORGE PULLMAN,
The Shilling Nobleman Count de
Banana.

Upon Mr.. Pullman's shoulders alone
rests the responsibility for the con-
tlnuance of this contest. Public Senti-
ment is practically unanimous in hold
ing that Mr.. Pullman is clearly in the
wrong when he refuses to discuss
grievances with his employees or to
meet them half way for the adjust
ment of differences. Mr.. Pullman
should yield. His best friends advise
him thus. No factor in this fight has
demanded or requested anything I'M
reasonable of him. In his contracts
with other firms and corporations the
Pullman company invariably insists
upon a provision that all points of diff
ference and dsagreements which NAV
arise shall be referred to a board of
arbitration. A recognition of this
principle on the part of Mr.. Pullman
will end the whole controversy. Chi
cago Dispatch.
Christ said ,-"TaIk with thine ad-
versary by the way" The basis of hu-
man society is compromise. There is
no cause that has not two sides to it.
Pullman refuses to discuss the mat
ters in dispute with his workmen be-
cause he regards them as an inferior
order of beings. with whom no argu-
ment is necessary. He looks upon
them very much as the farmer does
upon his cattle. They are cd,oNio and
the pursc-proud nabob, with his
Italian title, lOathes and despises
them. But he does not dcspise the
twenty-five cent pieces paid by travel
crS to the porters on his sleeping cars.
They go into his pocket, or, which is
the same thing, the porters take them
for their pay and Sir George gives
them little or nothing else. And this
is the Count lie Bdnolla whose selfish
ness has thrown the business of a con-
tinent out of Gar and imperilled the
life of the nation. He should be tax
en- up tenderly, packed in an orange
box and shipped over to Italy. The
American people have got no use for
him. They should agree not to travel
by the lines that use his cars, when
ever choice is possible Id.
