A NEW SCHEME.

The story is telegraphed from the East,
and with the earmarks Of authenticity,
that the remnant Of the American Rail-
way Union and some other striker forces
have put on foot scheme to capture the
organized militia by having strikers and
strike supporters I'll up the militia ranks,
and in the course of two or three years
thus dominate in the National Guard.
The reader will at once ask, "Why?"
What has SO suddenly inspired these
men with soldierly longings? Why do
they wish to don the blue and carry arms
and attend drills and encampments. etc.?
lis it to add to the strength of the military
arm that the law may be enforced. the
honor of the States be upheld and the
public peace preserved?
Certainly not; the real purpose is un-
concealed; this enlistment is to go on in
order to cripple the military arm, and
possibly wholly paralyze it. In other
words, protesting that they are law-abid-
ing, these leaders of strikes are preparing
to be lawless and to block any effort Of
the State to prevent it.
Here, then, is distinct, unblushing and
defiant announcement that these strike
leaders propose to ''fx things" SO that in
the next great strike the militia will not
oppose them-in what? Not in peaceful
methods, of course.
Yet these strikers have charged con-
sIantly that not they, but the tough"
and the ''slums" element, did all the riot
ing in Chicago and elsewhere; that no
American Railway Union men ever en-
gagged in any work of destruction or any
mob violence. Why, then. seek to cap
ture the National Guard?

SAuSALITO IuSTICH
Constable BrisseI's story as to How 1t
is Administered.

Constable Brissel's Story as to How 1t
is Administered.
Constable John P. Brissel has returned
from trip to Sausalito, the city on the
bay, where clambakes flourish in their
most attractive form. He tells story of
the way justice is administered there that
throws Dogberry into the shade.
Last fall Brissel arrested man named
Dan Kincaid, who sold and pawned rare
coins. evidently purloined from cabinet
While he was looking up evidence against
him, and just as he had discovered that
they had been stolen from Sausalito and
that there was a reward of $3.50 for the
conviction of the thief, Chief Rodgers
turned Kincaid loose and he disappeared.
He was arrested in the southern part
of the State by means of pawn-ticket
on information furnished by BrisseI, and
brought TO Sausalito for trial. As Bris-
sci tells the story, the party robbed
identified coins found on Kincaid, as
we'll as those which Brissel took from q
pawnshop here, which Kincaid had
pawned. The Constable who arrested
him also testified that the prisoner had
confessed TO him that he committed the
robbery, and the defense put no wit
nesses on the stand. but in spite of all
the evidence, Brissel says, the Justice be-
fore whom he was examined, refused to
hold Kincaid to answer and discharged
him.
The wonder remains as to how much
evidence is required to constitute reas-
enable cause for holding an accused per-
son in the clam county.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

The RECORD UNION the other day
pointed out that the term compulsory
arbitration is contradictory, and at some
length advanced the reasons for the be-
lief that there can be no such thing as
compulsory arbitration. since arbitration
implies free-will consent on both sides,
and looks TO compromise, concession and
yielding, binding upon each party be-
cause of such consent.
We have not before had occasion to
quote labor leader as in harmony with
that view. But now comes Samuel Com
pers, head of the American Federation
of Labor, who cannot see how there can
be such a thing as compulsory arbitra-
tion. He well says that ''Ths two words
are antithetical." He adds: "Arbitra-
ton always involves compromise. The
conditions under which it usually comes
about are those which have led each of
the parties to the dispute somewhat to
fear and somewhat to respect the other.
= ScC III A&cdbb Ny MAASA 4cS a.
compulsion to arbitrate could be made
really beneficial to the party that is usu-
ally the weaker. 1t would be an instru-
mentality that might react dangerously
against the progress of organized labor"
He is right. AS the REcoRD-UNIoN
has shown, if there could be any such
thing as compulsory arbitration the judg-
ment of the arbitrators to be of any value
whatever must be fortified by power to
enforce the decree. Such enforcement
would mean involuntary servitude.
which is slavery on one side, or bank
ruptcy of capitalized interests on the
other, because except it is voluntarily
used and managed by brains acting from
purely voluntary starting points and
with free-wil purpose, it viii be wrecked

IMMIGRATION to the United States is
falling off. Pray heaven that it may con-
tinue to decline. The hard-times year
erects barrier that impedes its current.
The tide fell off in volume on the aver
age 90 per cent. to June 30th this year
compared with 1893. The input from
Hungary, Austria, Bohemia, the Neither
lands and Russia declined 75 per cent.
This alone testifies sufficiently to the
tightness of the times and proves what
consummate folly it was for labor to go
upon strike in such period. But now
that it is likely 1894 will give US the low
est record of immigration, the hour is
ripe for legislation that will prevent the
return to the old-time volume. Indeed,
to close the gates entirely for time is the
proper thing to do.

The average weekly temperature was
For San Francisco, so; Red Bluff and

As compared with the normal tempera-
ture there is a deficiency of 40 for the
coast counties and an excess of from 10 to
3o in the interior valleys.
Fruit is rapidly ripening and is being
dried as fast as possible. During the
three last days of the week the railroad
blockade was raised. in consequence of
which great quantities of fruit have been
rushed Eastward.
The grain crop is still exceeding ex-
pectations, except in portions of Lake
County. where rust has done considerable
damage, while in portions of Southern
California the grain output is even less
than was anticipated.
The sugar beet, the hop, the raisin and

be short. but the second crop is expected
to be a large one and of good quality.

HGrpeT'S Heekty Of July 9TH, in a crit
ical review Of the recent boycott and
strike, says: In resisting and suppress
ing such a blackmailing conspiracy as
the boycott of the Pullman cars by Ithe
American Railway Union. the nation is
fighting for its own existence just as
truly as in suppressing the great rebel
lion. But the work which the occasion
shows TO be necessary is not done when
the power Of the conspiracy is broken.
1t remains to bring into harmony with
the order of society and with all the con-
ditions of our industrial progress the
minds and hearts of the citizens who
have been misled into this wild move
ment, and those of their many sympa-
thizers throughout the land. Such re-
bellions against social order and the prin-
ciples of civilization will grow more dam
gerous unless the intelligence of the
country shall come to understand their
causes and find a way to remove them"
The Weekly has struck the keynote
now; the task of the strike is before, not
behind us. There must be removed
from the minds of the men who were led
astray the false impressions made regard
ing popular government, individual
rights, and the justifableness of the boy

THE late Legislature of New York
passed an Act that no alien shall be en-
ployed upon any public work. or in the
work of any institution under State con-
troll in whole or in part. This may be
taken as a straw indicating which way
the wind is setting. It is likely that the
law referred to will be received with
much disfavor; in some respects it will
work hardships excluding those who are
desirable material from which to make
citizens. On the other hand, it is certain
to cultivate q spirit of Americanism, and
to make citizenship more desired. and
men prouder of it. Such an enactment
will have the effect of stiffening of the
sentiment that immigration to the United
States must be still more restricted. if
not entirely suspended for period.
