The President Sustained.

It must be extremely gratifying to the
President to have his efforts in behalf of
law and order so heartily and en-
phatically Endorsed by both houses Of con-
gress The resolution of Endorsement,
adopted by the House on Monday, is not
less strong than that adopted by the Sen
ate last week, and in neither the Senate
nor the House was there any opposition
worthy Of consideration. Indeed, the
vote in each House was practically unani-
nous.
The adoption of these resolutions by the
representatives of the people leaves no
doubt as 10 what public sentiment is in
respect TO the lawlessness in Chicago and
other cities as a result of the Debs boy
colt and strike. 1t is an announcement that
the people will not tolerate violence
growing out of labor disputes or disputes
Of any other kind, that the law is supreme
and must be obeyed, and that differences
between employers and employees must be
settled by peaceful means.
The resolutions have nothing whatever
to do with the merits Of the issue in the
strike inaugurated by Debs. They mean
only that the President is right in using
his power TO compel respect for the law,
and that there is no truth whatever in
the charge made by Debs and other labor
leaders that the power of the government
is being used to sustain capital.
The people recognize the fact that both
capital and labor have rights, and that
both must be protected in their respect
i've rights. At the same time they assert
that they themselves also have rights
and that these rights must be respected
The good of all requires that the laws
shall be upheld and the President, as the
head of the government is justly indorsed
for using his power to uphold the rights
Of the people.
The power of the government has not
been used at Chicago or elsewhere to as
sist any party, faction or class. 1t has
been used to force the lawless ele-
meut into submission, and it has been
used very effectively-so effectively, in
deed, that all law-abiding and order-liv-
ing people rejoice, for it convinces them
that the government not only has the
right and power but the will, to sustain
itself against any and all forms of law
lessness

No injustice should Be Done.

The House has passed the bill forfeit
ing the land grants of those railroad
companies which failed to complete their
roads within the time fixed by the acts
granting the land. There are 81, coz, 900
acres involved and twenty-five railroad
companies are affected.
The public has no particular sympathy
for those of the railroad companies that
were indifferent as to when they COM
pleted their roads, but it has a great
deal of sympathy for those who have
bought lands from the railroads and i'm
proved them, believing they had a good
title. !
The bill does provide for the exemption,
of 800 acres held by one person, but there
are doubtless many settlers land com
panies and corporations that own much
more than that amount. Would
it be just to confscate the
property of these persons2 There
are probably tens of thousands of them,
and if the bill is what it is understood to
be, and should become law, great in
justice would be done vast number of in
noceut people.
If 1T is the purpose of congress to pun
ish the railroads for not complying with
their contracts why not confine the for
fixture to the lands that yet remain I'M
sold2 1t may be said that the purchasers
from the railroads can recover whatever
they may lose from the roads. Most of
the roads are in the hands of receivers,
and it is doubtful if anything could be OBJ
tanned from them. Besides, very many
of the holders of the land did not pur-
chase from the railroads direct, but from
persons who dealt with the railroads.
1t is apparent that if the bill should be-
come a law the courts in a number of
states would have more than they could
do in settling these land cases. The
holders of the lands would be involved in
costly litigation and land titles in whole
counties would be unsettled.
The government is to blame for turning
the lands over to the railroads before the
roads were built. 1t led the settlers of
the lands into their present unhappy
plight, and in justice it should make titles
to all land holders who are entitled TO
| them.

A wholesome Truth.

Georgia as to the progress and condition OF
the colored people in that state. he says that

that. as the coloreG people constitute ABOUT
half the population of the state, so small
number is not AN adequate representation
OF the Colored citizens, and that according
to the governors figures. "a little over half

remarks OF the New York organ the Pitts

that, because the negroes are half the
population OF Georgia. therefore they should
have half the membership Of the Legislature
is OF the same political class as the demo.
cratic assurance to colored men in the north
that the republicans care nothing for them
because they DO not give them high Offices.
The belief that the population OF certain
race or nationality can only be represented
by that race IS one Of the most shallow and
misehieyous sophlstries perpetrated in poll

A Black Cat Story.

The efficacy of black cat as a lightning
rod has been too frequently the subject Of
discussion and assertion to be treated at
length at the present time, says the Wash
ington Post. An Illustration of this popular
BELIEF can be deduced from al incident that
occurred on the evening of the Fourth of
July TO the wife of we'll known business
man of Washington. he young matron had
been eXpending considerable tine and atten-
ton upon handsome black cat. which she
continued to stroke Notwithstanding the as
sertion Of her family that by so doing she was
charging herself with electricity Finally
after dark. the young matron decided that a
pleasant way of winding up the evening
would be TO go for a ride on the electric
cars to Bethesda. Accordingly, inviting
two of her friends to accompany her. she set
out for the ride in high spirits. The trio found
places together near the middle OF the car
and had gone a short space beyond the power
house, when their conversation was inter
rupted by the conductor hurriedly bending
over them as though to avert some catas-
trophe from beneath, and telling them to
leave the car with all speed. as it was on tire.
Scarcely had they left their seats before
sheet of fame burst through the floor Just re-
meath the very spot over which the young
matron had been sitting, the electrical ap-
paratus beneath having ignited at that very
point She declares she will never stroke an.

BirminEham's Labor War.

The state ana county authorities have
evidently determined to make the lawless
strikers at the Pratt coal mines, near
Birmingham, Ala, respect the law. The
attack of number of strikers upon min
ers on Monday, resulting in the death of
three or four men, and the wounding of a
number of others, was lawlessness of the
worst kind, which ought not TO
be and viii not be toler-
ated. The governor of Alabama is not
the kind of a man to submit to having the
laws ignored and the peace of the state
broken IN any such fashion. He will up
hold the law, and he will do it so vigor-
ously that the law breakers will hardly
make second attempt to defy the
authorities.
A large number of the lawless strikers
have been arrested and others will be.
They will be tried for murder, and may
have to suffer the penalty for that crime.
II they should be convicted of murder
they will not have any sympathy from
the public. The people do not excuse
murder. They want labor to have its
rights, but they will not uphold labor in
LlolAE A4llCS W h1Cb AlOtC bLllAA 10 llSubo+
1t is very well understood that labor
has a right to quit work, but has no right
to prevent others from taking the places
it gives up. The striking miners at the
Pratt mines say they will not work the
mines unless the wages they demand are
paid, and that the mines shall not be
worked by other miners. They can have
their way in the matter if they are
stronger than the state and the United
States.
1t is quite evident that the law is to be
enforced in Alabama. The governor
knows his duty and he will do it. And it
is pretty certain the courts will do their
duty The outlook for the strikers, there
fore, who are charged with murder is not
a pleasant one.

The Philadelphia Times is probably sin
cere in insisting that an ideal ticket for
the Presidency in 1896 would be C. K.
Davis and John B. Gordon. But the
Times has let its patriotism run away
with its sober Judgment, if it thinks such
a ticket could be elected. Senator Davis,
the republican, and Senator Gordon, the
democrat, stand shoulder to shoulder
when a question of defending the gov
eminent is to be considered But
on some other matters they
are further apart than are Lands
end and John O'Groat's House. Under
normal conditions there are no menaces
to the national government, and the tariff
immigration, money, elections and such
affairs become the issues of the day II is
expected that normal condition of pub
lie sentiment will prevail before snow
fys again. How, then, would it be posi-
bic to harmonic a ticket composed of
Davis and Gordon2 There is another
consideration: The republican papers
have not yet recovered from the nervous
shock they received when there was a
threat against the government, and they
are yet patting the backs of the southern
men who boldly declared their position.
But after awhile when they become calm
they will grow bold again and attempt
to stick pins in the southerners on every
possible occasion.

The report comes from Uniontown, Pa,
that 1900 of the colored laborers who
went to that place recently to take the
places of striking coal miners will return
south. The blacks, according to the
statement, are returning of their own ac-
cord. Coal miners are paid according to
their labor, and not by the day If they
are able to take out large quantity of
coal they get big wages, and vice versa.
The colored men, IL is said, proved TO be
poor workers They were unskilled, and
became discouraged at the small wages
they received. The strike Of the white
miners, by the way, is still on in the
Uniontown region, and the strikers are
very much encouraged because the blacks
are leaving. Az the same time, there are
numb ers OF blacks in the Minnesota, Iowa
and Ohio mines who are apparently do
ms better.

It's queer about Studebaker. He is
one Of the people who have come promi-
nently into the public eye during the re-
cent demonstrations of the dissatisfied.
Studebaker is manufacturer Of wagons
and buggies. When Coxey's cohorts
were as thick about Washington as the
police would permit them to get, and
Carl Browne and his co-loafers were plan
ming a commOnweal crusade throughout
the country. Studebaker made them
present OF nice two-horse wagon, built
especially to meet their wants. And
when the Pullman boycott was at its
hight. Studebaker appeared on the scene
as mediator, whose efforts were in the
direction of softening the hearts of the
capitalists. The press dispatches made
Studebaker appear somewhat in the light
of self-appointed patron saint of labor,
whose desire it was to see the boycOtters
win, complete victory if possible, or
partial victory at any rate 1t was even
suggested in a Washington paper that
Studebaker was about to turn populist,
and might apply for membership in the
Farmers Alliance. Now, however, we
get another view of this interesting man
ufacturer. The press dispatches re-
Gently contained the information that
the Federation of Labor had voted to sus-
tain, through the aid of the Farmers
Alliance, a boycott on Studebaker's
goods. 1t seems that he, like
Pullman, has not been pleasing the union
and that the union has determined
TO make people quit using what he makes
In the light of this statement, Stude-
bakers activity in endeavoring to assist
the Pullman boycotters and his friendli-
ness for COxeyism become interesting,
Meantime, it is now Mr.. Pullman's privi-
lege to try to soften Studebakers heart
toward the people who are boycotting his
wagons.

"An Ideal Ticket"
From the Philadelphia Times Ind.

From the Philadelphia Times Gnd).
An ideal national ticket to present the issue
OF the MAJESTY of law to the people of the
country regardless of party would ce as fol
lows:
For President
CbsHMAN K DAVIS of Minnesota.
For Vice President
JOHN B. GORDON OF Georgia.
Such ticket would be it's own platform
nobody could possibly misunderstood it; it
would mean that law and order must prevail
in every section nf the country; that the
rights OF all rich and poor, high and low,
must be protected with the utmost Impair
TALLY by the government. Every anarchist,
every socialistevery idler. every criminal. and
every disturber of political and business tran
guilty would be reSolutely arrayed against a
ticket bearing the names OF Davis and Cor
don; and every friend OF law and order, of
equal rights TO every condition and class, of
well-behaved citizenship, could cordially sup
port such ticket and give it an overwhelm-
ing victory. Such a victory would give peace
TO the nation for generation to come.

The Tariff Conference.

What is to be the outcome Of the dis
agreement? The republicans hope the
defeat Of the bill That is what they
have been working for all along. That is
what they are working for now.
The House will have to yield some
thing; so will the Senate. The House
will have TO yield more than the Senate.
It can afford to. In the Senate the demo-
Gratis nave a very slender majority. They
need about all of their votes to pass any
tariff bill. There are democratic senators
who will not vote for the bill unless it is
such a bill as they want.
1t is all very well To say they must be
forced to accept the terms dictated by
the House. They cannot be forced.
Those who would vote against it would
be sustained by their respective states.
Senator Hill voted against the bill be-
cause it provides for an income tax.
There are senators who will votesagainst

through the Senate. = Why not, then,

of the bill when nothing is likely to be
gained by delay} What the entire coun-
try wants is prompt action upon the bill.
