ARBITRATION.

The railroad strike is proper subject
for arbitration. Admitting that both bar-
ties believe that they are right, the various
Industries In the State know that they are
being materially injured. The parties to
the dispute are too powerful to be over
come In a short period Of time. But while
the fight is going on thousands of people
are being ruined. To the ordinary chances
Of business are added the unlooked-for one
Of getting products TO market and Of get
ting goods TO purchasers. The act which
caused the strike was refusal OF Mr..
Pullman to arbltrate. He took the high
ground that the only interest his employees
had in his business was TO work for the
wages he allowed or to- quit. The strike is
a protest against that assum ption. 1t was
a movement by which organized labor
made its power felt. But the strikers
should take care now not to fail into the
error that Mr.. Pullman fell into. Public
opinion is inclined to declare a party
which refuses to arDltrate to be in the
wrong. The leaders of the strike should
therefore hold open the door to an honor

Ii HUNG CHANG.

Mr.. Frank G. Carpenters account Of an
interview with Il Hung Chang, published
in 1889, was the first full and authenti
picture the world ever had of the most
representative Chinese statesman OF the
period. After a lapse of FIVE years MIR.
Carpenter has again visited Lii Hung
Chang. he gave the impressions of his
visit in Sundays CALL. II seems that
the popular notion regarding Ii Hung
Chang's policy for the Development of the
empire is correct so far as his desire for
the expansion Of China is concerned, but
incorrect as to the method he thinks of
employing. He does not contemplate az
aggressive policy, or II he thinks of war II
is only as a subordinate accessory to his
plans. His idea is to cover China with
railroads as with net, and to foster ma
tive industry SO that China shall do all her
own manufacturing, and shall enter the
markets Of the world as competitor with
the existing manufacturing nations. He
observed that China had already cotton
factories as large as any in Europe or
America, and proposed to multiply and
enlarge them With the exhaus tless sur
plies Of iron and coal, which Baron Rcht.

These dreams of future greatness based on

CARDS foreign nations with contemptuous
Indifference. He did not think it worth
while TO refer to the insdious approaches
Of the English toward YunDan, or the
threatening attitude Of the French in Ton
quin, or to the entertainments Of the Rus
slams upon Mantcbooria. As to the treaty
recently negotiated with the United States
he observed sarcastically that IL was Eot
what China had right to demand, but he
supposed that it was better than nothing.

duty Of the common carrier Is TO perform
It's duty 10 the public. If it fails it is
liable not only for damage resulting from
its failure bat TO a forfeiture of its fran
ehise. When the Government parts tenn
poraTiIy with any Of Its power, it retains
the right 70 resume the exercise Of such
power when the purpose for which it
made such concession is not carried out
II may bs said also that the Government is
the judge when the party commissioned ~
perform certain governmental work fails
70 keep It's contract. The only defense
that can stand against demand for COM
pensation for damages arising from fall
ure Of a common carrier 10 perform his
contract is that under exiEting condi-
tlons 1t was beyond ordinary human
effort 10 do so. The Government cannot
ask its agent to DO impoSsibilities. Neither
can IL require an expenditure greatly in ex-
cess of the magnitude Of the object In view.
Such enterprises as running malls hun
dreds of miles for the immediate benefit of
half score Of persons are reserved for
the Government. When the Southern Pa
ciic Company is called into court On de-
mand for damage growing out of its failure
to perform the ordinary duties OF common
carriers 1t will be allowed TO give reasons
. for such failure. Its answer 10 a suit
growing ont Of the present strike will be
that the American Railway Union pre-
vented il from running trains made up in
its ordinary manner. When asked il the
ordinary service could not have been per-
formed it will be compelled to admit that
every branch OF service excepting Droyid-
ing sleeping berths and certain accommo-
dations which are paid for as extra and are
not included In the sale of even frst-class
ticket. could have been performed without
extra expense or hardship to itself. If a
Pullman passenger should sue for damage
for the performance Of contract the
answer would be that Pullman cars could
not be moved under existing circumstances.
But this answer will not hold against any
other branch Of the railroads ordinary
service.

70 the patrons Of the paper. But when
company 10 which the Government has
granted exceptional powers on condition
that the company should perform a certain
service Of absolute necessity 20 the public
at large stops work different case is pre-
sented. The trouble with the Southern
Pacific has been that IL has taken the view
Of It's duties which the argus has ex-
pressed. II has assumed TO possess a pri-
vate business built upon especial privileges
conferred by the Government II is ad-
miited that tie Government might do the
work il has deputed the Southern Pacific

Government would. When the caprices
