POLITICS IN OUR ADJUSTMENTS.

One of the curious features of the
present political situation is the intro
duction of political jibes into our amuse-
ments. THE News had occasion last
week to comment on the misses that
greeted the picture Of Mr.. Cleveland and
the cheers that greeted that of Mr.. Har-
rison in local theater when they were

CONSERVATISM PREFERABLY.

The strike on the Great Northern
Railroad which involved 5000 employees
and which has for two weeks delayed
and suspended travel is at an end, hav-
ing been settled by arbitration. The
strikers gained nineteen-twentieths OF
the points made, and President Hill con-
ceded the restoration of the wages OF
engineers, firemen, conductors, brake
men, boilermakers, trackmen, section
men and blacksmiths, while the other
operators virtually gained the full
amount Of the proposed reduction.
Thus big strike has been settled, and,
as the report remarked, "there was
great rejoicing" Unquestionably the
men rejoiced, and THE News rejoices
with them, but what must be the feel
ings of the stockholders toward the
managers of the road, who were con-
fessedly in the wrong in attempting to
force the men to accept a re-
duction when none was necessary.
The road lost It's earning power
for two weeks, the men lost their
wages, the public was seriously incon-
venienced, and much traffic was diverted
from the road that will require time to
regain, and all because the managers
through some mistaken idea of eeeHemy
undertook to force men into subsection.
President Hill may have learned lesson,
and if SO perhaps the road will profit
thereby in the end, but would it
not have been wiser for him to have
appealed the case to arbitration
before he plunged his road into war
fare that has cost it so dear? A railroad
president is human and fully as likely
to be wrong as any other man. and
when the entire force of employees resist
his demands he surely sholld seek other
and unprejudiced advice before prec;pi-
tating an expensive strike and embitter-
ing his men toward the management.

AN IMPOTENT CONTRIvANCE.

One of the trials seriously complained
of in the retail dry goods business is the
professional shopper. The professional
shopper, as is well known, comes into the
store to buy dress pattern, or yard of
shoe strings, or pair of gloves, or some
tri-colored hosiery, and in either case
she is disposed to see ell the goods thc-e
are on the shelves before she
consummates her purchase. There are
said to exist in the dry goods business
statesmen so expert that they can make
a sale to the professional shopper of as
much as four or five yards of 12t-cent
prints without unwinding more than
one third to one-half the available stock
in the retail and wholesale depart
ments for her inspection. But these
men naturally command high salaries,
in some cases even more than the gene
raj manager of the house, and they are
accordingly not available to the average
dry goods house. IL has been demon
strated on the careful estimates of
prominent New York dry goods mer-
chant that, if all the customers at Lis
establishment were professional shop
pers, or to any considerable extent dis.
posed to be such, ii would cost
in time consumed in showing
the goods not less than Is cents
a yard TO sell case of five cent
ginghams, 81. 1s to sell a yard of $1.79
foreign dress goods, and $l.09 to
sell pair of suede mosquetaire
gloves marked down from $l.00 to 64t
cents. This appalling statement, coming
as it does from an authoritative source
and based on actual estimates derived
from practical business experience may
well give us pause.
IL was with clear conception of the
situation cited in the foregoing and an
appreciation of the recent rapid devel-
opment of the professional shopper in our
midst, that Western man has,
for period covering some years, de-
voted himself to the task of devising
some contrivance that would reduce to
minimum the loss and embarrassment
suffered in the business world by
reason Of the exhaustive researches OF
the professional shopper to satisfy her
otherwise simple wants. The result of
these researches was made public few
months back and since then the inven-
tion Of the Western man has been put
TO practical operation.
Unfortunately the contrivance, though
promising much, has failed of accom-
plishing the desired object. When first
brought to the serious attention of the
trade. much was expected Of it but the
test Of actual use has demonstrated that

According to the New York Sun Sena-
tors Chandler and Gallinger of New
Hampshire are such bitter political and
personal enemies that OF late they are not
even on speaking terms. 1t 10 quite pos
sible, however, that the whirligig OF next
falls elections will make these colleagues
seatInates in the Senate. When
the Democrats carried Illinois last
year Senator Chandler, who always takes
time by the forelock, put his name down
In Captain Bassett's little red book ~ an
applicant fer Cuilum's seat on the front
Shortly afterward Mr.. Gallinger, who is
also trifie forehanded, looked about him
for a good seat, and thought the one occu-
pied by Senator Dolph OF Oisgon would
lust about suit him. SO he told Captain
Bassett to put his name down for 1t but
the old gentleman said:
"Mr. Gallinger, why don't you apply
for Dixon's seat, which is next to Mr..
Cullom's? You are more apt to get that"
"Why," said the New Hampshire Sena-
tor, "Dixon's coming back"
"No, he isn't" said the Captain, "He
said while ago that he wouldn't serve
another term under any circumstances
whatever"
"Ail right" said Mr.. Gallinger, "put
me down foI Mr.. Dixon's scat then," and
the Captain did so.
1t is already determined that Mr.. Dixon
will not be candidate for reelection,
but that he will be succeeded by ex-Gov.
Wetmore. II Mr.. Cullom is defeated by
William r.. Morrison or somebody else
Mr.. Chandler will get his seat, which
il next to that now occupied by Mr.. Dixon
and the New Hampshire Senators will
then sit elbow to elbow in the Senate.
Mr. Dixon's seat Is the one occupied for
many years by Senator Edmunds, and be-
fore that time by the Rhode Island Sem
ator's grandfather, the first of the three
Nathan +. Dixon's who have been In Con-
gress from the southwest corner OF
"Little Rhody."

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
The Dread Hand of Democracy.

4.
One of the most remarkable dinners ever
given in this country to any public man took
place at Delmonico's just 20 years ago yester-
day, The man was the father OF American
shipbuilding. the late John Roach. The lead
ing merchants of New York gave the banquet
as an indication of appreciation of the efforts
of MIR. Roach to rebuild our merchant ma
rine. Subsequent events have shown that
the pledges given upon that occasion by the
honored guest were kept, though IL cost him
his life. and for the time being his fortune.
The same destructive spirit that sent John
Roach TO the grave 20 years before his time
has during the last IL months brought sorrow
and bankruptcy to the captains of American
industry and destruction TO industries no
less important than shipbuilding. The free
trade, free ship cry of the Southern Democ-
racy will work the same havoc with tue ma
tion's industries as did the Cleveland Whitney
policy with. the fortune and spirit of tue grand
old American ship-buider. In eloquent words.
Just 20 years ago, Mr.. Roach thus addressed
the INGREDIENTS of New York assembled to do
him honor:
The war. is over, but the nag is not re.
stored. What shall we do? We shall all
soin here tonight in one united voice, each
man determining that he shall perform a.
portion OF the labor necessary TO prod uce
the result. But there has been n bercsy
that we could not release ourselves from
this great commercial bondage: that the
united power oil the American mechanic, the
American shlpbuilder, the American sailor.
the American capitalist. could not relieve us
from the bondage, but that we must 90 TO n
foreign land 10 get our ships constructed.
And. worse than all, that we must 60 to the
very country where the ships were built that
destroyed the commerce we are going 10
rebuild.
That is the cry today. A Democratic Con
gresham proposes free ship bill just at the
crucial moment iE our history when. thanks
10 such men as the one who uttered these
words. we arc prepared TO LEAD the world in
shipbuiiding. II the same protection
had been extended to our merchant
marine as has been extended to our manu-
featuring industries we should today have
been further along the road of complete
triumph In shipbuilding. As 1t is. we have
done well. and the future Is full Of promise II
the dread hand Of Democracy. which blighted
the hopes of the master American shipbuilder,
can be turned away from our shipping indus
try until the party Of patriotism and protec-
ton is again returned TO power.

E~der the Wilson bill with q tariff rate of
% per cent. and ad valorem duties the foreign
manufacturer would have decided advah-
tage over the American mills. Under the ad
valorem system the average dishonest i'm
porter can easily pay but 20 per cent duty
under an official and ostensible duty of % per
cent. The average difference In labor cost
between articles produced here and those
made abroad is not farlfrom 30 per cent. ac-
cording TO the statement Of reliable authority.
1t is easy enough to see that the Wilson bill
means tremendous reduction in wages all
along the line of American industries: and II
is to be noticed that no well-informed de-
fender of the measure denies that fact.

marked:
s'Say, Mr.. Mack, saw man down in Bos-
ton de udder day an he had basket full of

they were Democratic puppies before?"

The house greeted this sally with pro-
longed applause in which not single
hiss was mingled
What is the in ference to be drawn?
1t means that the people are so sick of
Cleveland times and Cleveland policy
and Cleveland measures that, regardless
of previous party affiliations. they will
applaud anything that ridicules or con-
demns Cleveland and the party he rep
resents.
1t means that ridicule is fast COM

can be used against a man or measure

ceived." or course IL will. But what does
pr3per present tatloa consist In I? Who shall
be the judge
Some of the Senators seemed to think that
the commonweAl army must be fed. at least
for while, But let US consider this aspect of
the subject for a moment. Probably within a
few days. there will be In round numbers
from 5000 to 1000 men gath
cred in Washington under the
leadership of General Coxey. II has been
estimated that men cannot be fedtemporariiy
at less than about thirty -five cents day. AZ
the very least calculation. therefore. about
two hundred dollars day would have TO be
spent, or Sl,50O . week, even II the Coxey
army does not increase In numbers.
IL Is obviously out of the question that the
government of the District of Columbia should
bear the expense Of feeding these men. They
were not invited, they sys not wantsd and tho
government Of the District of Columbia Is In
no condition to pamper them. In reality the
government Of the District Of Columbia Is q
mere delegation Of the powers OF Congress In
local affairs. and therefore to Congress itself
properly belongs the task of dealing with this
Quixotic army. II cannot shirk the RESPONSE
bility
The National Government may do the most
and tho best in this case by doing the least
Coxey's petition should be received, but not
replied TO. The so-called army should be
allowed to occupy common land at or In the
vicinity of the capital. so long as disorder 10
not maintained. Ii II is, armed force must be
called out and there must be plenty OF IL
and II must be In readiness for emergencies.
But the Government should not spend cent
in feeding these men. The public viii as
matter OF charity and for reasonable time
see that they do not starve, but the sooner the
recruits are discouraged for remaining to-
gether the better 1t Will be for themselves
and the public.
What bad example It will oe to future
generations of enthusiasts and cranks of all
kinds, IL they can tramp through the country
making themselves notorious, living by volun-
tary contributions and then be sustained at
Government expense for days, weeks or
months
That would be paternalism Of the worst
kind. 1t would involve Congress In no end OF
complications. These can easily be avoided
by receiving the petition, making no answer
to It. refusing to vote any money for supplies
and disbanding the army at the least show OF
insubordination among its members. Such
course would be wholesome example in
dustrially, socially and politically.

though constructed on right lines 1t lacks
an essential something to overcome the
evil which it seeks to remedy, or at least
TO alleviate.
AS nearly as il may he described with
out resorting to technicalities, this in
yeition which seeks TO overcome the
professional shopper is simple COM
bination Of gearing so constructed that
when the professional shopper requests
the clerk to show her few OF
"the things on that SHELF"
the entire shelf load is deposited on
the counter. Then by system OF clock
work and cams the goods are quickly
spread out in way that exposes every
individual pattern in the stock at the
time and also to perfectly display the
comparative merits of the several pieces
of goods.
Aud this is by no means all there is to
the invention. After the professional
shopper has examined the goods and
made her selection the salesman touches
an electric button and, Zip! the goods
are neatly rolled up while by a single
turn OF crank they are deposited back
again on their respective shelves.
The contrivance is applicable to every
department except the notion counter,
the advantageous manipulation OF the
multifarious articles of which the in
ventor is now at work on.
There would, on the face of it. seem to
be no reason why this admirably designed
contrivance should not work; SO far as
its technical working goes, it seems to
have been perfectly satisfactory. On
the other hand, where it has been tried,
it proves to be absolutely useless for
controlling the passion Of the profession
al shopper. This is shown,by the follow
ing instance, which will suffice: A mer-
chant down South testified that he was
greatly pleased with the machine and
that he set it up all over his store. 1t
was easily adjusted out of sight under
the counters and behind the shelves and
worked admirably As a rule the sales
men and saleswomen easily acquired
proficiency in its operation and it needed
very little oiling. But the merchant,
with regret. had to acknowledge that 1t
was of no use.
1t appears that the first professional
shopper on whom it was tried, after re-
covering from the initial shock OF
having the goods all deposited and laid
out before her in three seconds where,
before, the showing of the goods was a
matter of at least half an hours time,
demanded to be shown the wheels that
ran the machine rs she thought she
would like to buy some of them. And
after she had compelled the statesmen
and saleswomen to unjoint the
machinery in operation in forty
departments all over the store and
had examined minutely seven hundred
and fourteen cog wheels, one hundred
and eight brass rods, ninety-four cams
and a mile and half of electric wire
she went to the notion counter ant
bought paper of needles marked dowr
from three cents to one cent and insisted
on a discount because she was going t.
make present of them to a friend wht
was in the dressmaking business.

The late frank Hatton, proprietor of
the Washington Post, soldier and editor,
ranked high among the newspaper men
Of the country. He followed Gresham
as Postmaster General in President
Arthur's cabinet, being the youngest
cabinet officer since Alexander Hamil-
ton, and his early newspaper career was
conspicuous from his ownership and
editorship Of the Burlington Hawkeye,
when that paper won national fame
through the nnnygraphs of Bob Bur-
dette.
