One of the most important investfga-
tons yet undertaken by an American

TRIUMPH Or GO DOWN.

The strike, in the absence of subsequent
outrage and bloodshed, would have
proved grotesque, because of its want OF
sense and its undue proportions. There
was no controversy between the A. r.
Z. and their employers, as not a man
was discharged upon the one hand, nor
any increase of wages demanded on the
other. Everything was running as
smoothly as possible, considering the
direful stress of the times, which have
been rendered almost disastrous through
the partisanship OF the party in power.
Strikes ordinarily originate in some
specific cause or from some well defined
grievance. The coal strikes of last spring
were wholly warranted. Every coal
miner in the United States would have
been justified in striking against the un.
righteous combine which, taking advan-
tage Of the time, undertook TO rob the
miner by cutting his wages on the one
hand, and on the other hand, to rob the
consumer by forcing up the price of
coal III the market. But the Debs strike
seems 10 have been one of personal
aggrandizement and for political pur-
poses. The Pullman incident was but
an opportunity and a pretense. There
was undoubtedly 4 grievance at the
Pullman shops; certain it Is that there
was a disagreement. And public SYM
pathy was with the men who struck
But the strike Icing made there was no
attempt to replace union men
with scabs. The shops were SIM
ply closed, which. settled it.
Debs' action was not only the reopenipg
of a case where a "wal6 out" and a
''close up had occurred, but the involv-
ing of tens of thousands of others who,
by no action Of theirs could reach the
closed factory at Pullman. There is no
way to force man or company that has
been closed out to open up and resume
again. Deb5 from his desire to
earn his ten thousand dollar salary, or
his ambition for notoriety, has
given organized labor the worst blow it
ever got. He forced his organization into
a contest in which they mus triumph or
90 down, and in order to triumph gov
eminent itself would have had to yield
its preroga;ives. Victory under such
conditions was impossible. As for Sow
ereign, he is but an irresponsible blath-
erskite who was no more fit to succeed
Powderly than he would have been to
succeed Benjamin Harrison. While
Debs has openly advised peace, Sovereign
would secretly instiCate war. Instead
of proving a contest to settle grievance,
or an effort to secure arbitration between
labor and capital, it is one of the SOW
ereignty of law and the claims of or
ganized labor, the cause being a closed
factory.

MOODS AND MASTERY.
rom worthinston's Magazine.

Ernm Northins tons A~sAz-1s-
Mastery in any art or craft involves
control of its methods and of ones self
The genuine artist is the man who can
discern the thing he wishes TO do and
employ all the resources of his craft TO
that end. The greatest and most diff
cult of all the arts is the art of living,
and the men and women who master
this difficult art are those who compre-
bend the material with which they
work and the methods by which effects
are secured, and who control them
selves. Those who are the slaves of
their prejudices, their passions or their
moods, whatever may be their knowl-
edge of materials and methods of
work, are ineffective and unsuccessful.
To be the slave Of ones mood is
to be mastered by conditions, instead
of mastering them. 1t Is astonishing
how many people form their judgments
and do their work, not in the clear
Light of dispassionate intelligence. but
in the half-hght of their own feelings.
\ Judgment which is the expression of
a mood is absolutely worthless, be-
cause it does not deal with the facts
1t coIOrs the facts, diStorts them. and
combines them in an unnatural fashion.
It reads into the facts that which the
facts do not contain. And vet large
part OF the judgments of men are eth
er the expression of their moods or
are deeply tinged bv their moods.
To many of us the world is bright one
day and dark the next, simply because
of subjective conditions. the actual
landscape remaining identical from
day to day. This Is not true of the
masterful man; for the element of mas
terry is to control ones self and to see
things as they are. It is to get rid Of
ones moods, or at least TO hold them
in such control that they cease 10
tinge the Judgment. There is no one
so difficult to deal with as the man of
moods, who is to-day all enthusiasm
and tomorrow all despair, who to-day
sees nothing but success and to-mor-
row nothing failure. IN dealing with
him one must not only take into ac-
count the difficulties of the enterprise,
but also the defects of the in
dividual. To see men and
women as they are, and the
facts of life as they are. one must keep
the personal feeling thoroughly in con-
troll, and refuse to allow the judgment
to be detected by the irritation of the
moment, or by passing depression.
There is nothing SO stimulating to
others as that steadfastness which sees
things with absolute clarity of vision,
and deals with them with calm and
persistent strength. The man who
possesses qualities introduces the ele.
ment of stability in world of change,
and represents dispassionate intel
ligence and clear-sighted judgment in
world of moods and passing emotions.

Who is William Skakel? William Fitz
gerald went on Debs' bond. Who is
William Fitzgerald?
Billy Skakel is the boss gambler oil
| Chicago. He is enormously rich. He
has bought up the city authorities of
Chicago time out of mind. He is "pro-
tected' by the present city government.
| He is low-baowed, vicious rascal who
is known and feared by every pettv
| thief, every footpad, every confidence
man, every burglar and every gambler
in Chicago. He keeps his women and is
constantly stupid with drink. He lives
in the First ward of Chicago-the bust
ness district OF the city. lie is known
to every citizen of Chicago because they
have been fighting him for years and
| have only beaten him by the circum-
stance that he and the notorious Nike
| Macdonald fell out.
Who is William Fitzgerald? He is
''Black Bilr' Fitzgerald. For many
years ne was the partner of Mike Mac
Donald in all his career Of nefarious
work. There is not a pulpit in Chicago
from which "Black Bill" has not been
denounced. One year ago last spring
he ran for assessor in the South town
and though other Democrats were
elected, BLACK Bill" was too much for
the people TO stomach.
What does Debs mean by accepting
bail from these men? Are they his
friends? Does he not know that the
world judges men from the company
they keep: Does ne not realize that by
accepting the aid of these city outlaws
he is insulting every one of his fol-
lowers?
How does it come that Debs is on such
terms of intimacy with these two men
that they will come forward with bail?
In this connection the story of Debs'
term at Dwight, his temporary cure of
drunkenness and his subsequent back
sliding does not sound well.
1t Is also announced that Clarence
barrow is to defend Debs. Who is Oar
row? Personally, there is not q more
moral man in Chicago.
But barrow is an outspoken Anarchist
and no party has the couarge to nomi-
nate him for any position. His political
feelings are dangerous. He Is a poiiti-
cal champion OF Governor Altgeld who
is nothing more tnan an Anarchist.
Dels has Imbued most OF his followers
with the idea that he is honest and
patriotic. What does he mean by train

HUMBERr AND FaANoIs JOSEPH.


Indications of the peculiar relations
existing between the courts of Vienna
and Rome were manifested the other
/ day, when Emperor Francis Joseph was
permitted TO cross over the Italian ter
ritory on his way to visit Emperor Will
liam at Abbazia, without any of the
customary forms of courtesy and Htten-
ton being paid to him by the Italian
authorities.
This neglect by the Italians was
made all the more pointed seeing that
King Humbert was at that moment at
Venice preparing TO receive the visit of
Emperor William, which followed i'm
mediately after the departure Of the
Austrian monarch, who for a second
time passed several hours travelling
through the northern portion of Italy
on the way back to his capital.
The strained relations which led to
this lack of courtesy on the part Of King
Humbert are due, says the New York
Recorder, to the persistent refusal Of
the emperor and empress to return at
Rome the state visit which King Hum
bOAb anu SAACCh Ahdl uClAlC "SAC pr
suaded by their ministers TO pay to the
court of Vienna just ten years ago. The
visit ought to have been returned with
IN at the latest twelve months, and the
emperor's hesitation and delay in the
matter are attributable to the compli-
cations which would arise in connec-
ton with the vatican, since the pontif
absolutely refuses to receive at the
vatican any Catholic sovereign who has
not first paid his respects to the head
OF the church before holding any inter
course with the quirinaL
King Humbert of course insists that
the first visit should be to the quirinal,
and this renders the stay of Catholic
royalties in the eternal city source of
endless complications and awkward
contrctemps. To make matters worse,
Empress Elizabeth has, even since the
death of her son, visited Rome incog-
nito, and been received by the pope
without paying the slightest attention
to the quirinal, and that II was after
this that she was permitted to make
stay at Venice without receiving any
attention from the Italian authorities,
being even forced to take her turn
with the tourists when she visited the
royal palace in which she had formerly
dwelt as its mistress prior to the forced
surrender OF Venice to Italy By Aps
