THE BIG STRIKE

In reviewing the great strike now on
but comparatively few new develop
ments have been made since last week
A few more roads have been affected
and the American Railway Union pro-
poses to tie up every road in the United
States before the week is over, unless
settlement is made. Some of the roads
have already called Debs' bluff and b,
will have to play it out or weaken.
In the language of the people. he has
bitten off more than he can successfully
masticate, and is doomed to absolute
failure at no distant date.
The union workmen of Chicago, urged
on by Sovereign, the head of the Knigh hts
Of Labor, are apt to strike at any mo
ment and stop all business of every kind
where union help is employed. and pos
sibly this same scheme may be applied
to other cities, the one idea being appar-
emily to get as many men out of employ
ment as possible with view to paralyz-
ing trade.
If this kind of battle is to be fought
out it might just as well come now as
any time, and the sooner it comes the
better, for although it means millions of
dollars lost and wasted, probably much
property and some life destroyed, it is
battle that must be fought out some
time if the present rate of socialistic
and anarchistic growth is to be kept
up.
In the meantime the United States
Courts have taken official notice of GER
tain action of the strikers, and already
seven strikers are in Jail for conspiracy
against the United States by obstruct-
ing mail trains and other actions are
likely to be inaugurated by the United
States Courts in whose charge some OF
the tied-up railroads now are.
The chances are that the strike and
the boycott will be a thing of the past
just as soon as the real leaders are taken
in charge by the courts.
The talk that the American Railway
Union officials is making about com.
pelling the roads to give in is the veriest
rot. The railroad manager who would
dare countenance any such movement
would be removed by an overwhelming
vote Of stockholders. There isn't a
single point for the roads to give in, and
to cowardly yield to such combination
as that headed by Debs would be suicide
for the road which tried it. The public
condemns the strike, its cause and its
leaders, as well as their un-American
attempt at bulldozing, and no strike can
succeed against SO overwhelming an ex-
preston Of public disapproval.
In the meantime business is paralyzed
and the biggest strike ever undertaken
in this country is at its height.

THE TARIFFsITUATIoN.

Will the present week see the tariff
bill passed by the Senate? Mr.. Harris
who is at present spokesman for the bill
claims that it will be disposed of before
the Fourth, but he has set so many
dates which were to see the end of the
bill that his prediction meets with but
little consideration. The hot weather
is of course becoming almost unbear-
able in Washington and especially to
the members Of the Senate, most of whom
are wealthy men, and accustomed to
enjoy the cool breezes of the seastore
and IN ountains at this season of the
year, but more important considera-
tions than mere personal enjoyment and
comfort restrain them from thus indulg-
ing this year. This is what is known as
the long session and the Senate has
more than once held through the entire
summer.
The tariff bill has just come before
the Senate, and there are GER
tain provisions that will yet be
made the subject of prolonged debate,
as THE News pointed out last week.
The chances are that the wool schedules,
the sugar schedules, and the income tax
provisions viii be very bitterly fought,
whether success attends the efforts of
the opponents of these measures or not.
Senator Hill has declared that rather
than see the income tax pass in any
form he would consent to kill the entire
bill.
Senator Murphy. contrary to the re-
ports stood by his colleague in voting
against the income tax, while Irby of
South Carolina is quite likely to keep
Hill company. If one of these two
Senators should join with Hill and vote
against the bill, the measure is dead be-
yond hope OF recovery. The Republicans
who voted in favor Of the income tax
would probably not dare to vote
for the bill ITSELF even though they
might favor many sections of il.
Senator Hill publicly is saying but little,
but he is said to have told his intimates
that the bill cannot pass with the n
come tax. Hill is playing for high
stakes, and he has won for himself many
friends among those who once bitterly
opposed him, by the magnificent fight
he has put up against the income tax.
Almost single handed he has fought
this measure strategically using every
known parliamentary device to prev ent
its incorporation In the tariff bill. He is
by no means at the end Of his list OF expo
dents, and will continue his warfare
until he is absolutely forced out of the
fight.
Sherman viii begin. the fight against
free wool, and the old veteran is sure to
have p'enty of Republican anu probably
Populist support. The sugar schedules
will be reopened by the minority which
has plenty Of material on hand In the
shape Of the printed testimony before
the investigating committee, even
though that committee refuses, az II

IT'S unfortunately not difficult job,
as it is not smart one, for a crazy
headed individual to kick in plate
glass window, to murder the President
OF Republic, or for hundred and fifty
thousand of him, joined together, to
paralyze millions of dollars worth Of
of business, destroy property
and make riot. The crimes
of foolishness are the hardest to deal
with, because so large proportion Of
humanity seems ever ready to indulge
in themsand their variety is almost be-
yond legal nomenclature.

Boss CROKER says he Is homeward
bound 10 meet the Lexow investigating
committee. Perhaps he is going to tell
them how an ignorant ex-saloon keeper,
without money and with no visible
means OF support, can in few years
earn enough cold cash to charter special
trains to whisk him across the continent,
aud even through Europe whenever 1t
suits his notion, but it is doubtful. He
is simply going to ask in the language
of his distinguished predecessor, "What
are you going to do about it."

O'Neil at S:45 o'clock Saturday night,
and was sentenced to 80 days in the Provi-

eleven years. During the past two years
she has becn before the court five times
