A Uniform ed Rank.

A. o. Jordan OF Los Angeles, who was
at the Lick yesterday, says that plans
are under consideration for the forma-
tion OF uniformed rank OF the Junior
Order United American Mechanics in
this state, and that he understands the
final effort toward its establishment will
be made in this city. "The plan for it's
formation" said he, sis modelled after
that OF the regular army. One OF the
cardinal principles OF the Juniors is
patriotism for the country and protec-
tion OF it as svm bolzed in the flag. 1t

premises laid down by Mr.. Ward are
correct. and they seem to have been
taken verbatim from the confession, his
conclusions are logical and most persons
will be compelled to adopt them.
The Presbyterian church is full OF
acute and scholarly pens and they are
quick to smell heresy, and it seems to

intrepid attack against the strongholds

all wonder why it is that their artillery
is not turned loose upon it.
1t may De from the fact that Mr.. Ward
10 only an elder and has no pulpit from
which to propagate his heresy, and
hence he cannot be dangerous heretic;
but MIR. Ward is writer of ability, and
has leisure and has the courage of his
convictions, and cannot be silenced by
blank cartridges. II Mr.. Ward has
stated the creed correctly, then his
deductions are simply question OF
logic. To overthrow him with reasoning
people. his logic must be overthrown.
As Mr.. Ward in his Common Sense
View does not attsmpt to controvert the
scriptural foundation of Calvanism, but
is only presenting the intelligent out
sider's opinion as to what is meant by
the language of the confession, any
critic would hunt long tir1e to find a
vulnerable point.
The fact that bis pamphlet finds ap-
proval rather than meets with critical
assault, must mean that no preacher of
the Presby terian faith in this city or

"A Wow OF Gn9 hestm in =

One OF the most striking pamphlets Of
the year is the elegantly printed mono
graph, A Common-senae View of the
Westminster Confession by John Shir-
ley Ward, an elder in Emmanuel church
OF this city. This pamphlet 10 now in
its third edition, and it numbers ite
readers in the egst by the Thousands.

made on the Calvinism of the West
minister confession. Ii it ia heresy to
dissent from the teachings of Calvin,
then Mr.. Ward ie just as great a heretic
as this age has produced.
In this pamphlet Mr.. Ward affirms
that the Westminster confession teach
es: First, that God ordains whatever
comes to pass second, that God before
the foundations OF the world we're laid
seleeted certain persons 70 be saved and
csrtRin persons to be lost, without any
regard to the moral acts Of either, and
that this number was 80 certain and
definite that it could not be changed );
that according TO the teachings OF the
Westminster confession, Christ died
only fer those already elected, and that
the Holy Spirit did not operate on any
except the elect; or, in other words,
thst there was no atonement made
under the Calvinistio system except for
the elect

While there may be more outbreaks
and more lawlessness, the big strike in
the West is practically on the wane.
The firm disposition of the Government
leaves no doubt Of this in the mind of
any one. Virtually martial law has
been proclaimed by the President and any
serious outbreak hereafter may call

THE cost of the riots in the West will
be enormous and it will be expensive
living in the counties whore So much
property has been destroyed for years to
come. Cook county will suffer espec-
tally and it will be years before it re-
covers its prosperity. The Pittsburg
riots of a few years ago cost $4,000, 900,
of which almost half went to the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. While
actual damage by destruction can be
assessed, there are other damages that
have resulted from the interruption Of
traffic that cannot be made whole. All
this rioting must be paid for and paid
dearly for by the counties wherein the
violence takes place. The bill running
up against some counties in the West
presage stiff tax bills for years to come.

tie, which now obscures the vision, 1T
will be found that the present trouble
will have a very healthful effect upon
labor interests in that it will show To
such organizations as Debs' that there
are limits that cannot be passed with
impunity and that of itself will tend to
put stop to any further attempts at
wholesale stoppage of business a' a
means of accomplishing their purposes.
1t is question that has needed So
luton for years and the issue now
plainly before the public must not be
lodged 1t is time to ascertain
whether an irresponsible labor
organization can lawfully throw
the vast business interests Of the cOun-
try into chaos at the dictation of such a
man as Debs and the present trouble
when it arrives at settlement will un-
questionably answer this in the mega
tive.
Thus something good will result from
the present conflict, even as good came
from the settlement of the civil war.
The will and interests of the majority
must rule in this country or popular
government be acknowledged as a farce
and humbug.

son and it may only be ended after more
bloodshel and violence than has vel

one outcome eventually, and as the
fight must come sooner or later it is
perhaps as well that it is on today.

THE SUGAR SCHEDULES.

Those who believe that the sugar
schedules of the tariff bill are to be sub
jected to any material changes are
trusting rather to their hopes than to
their reason. There is to be no oppor-
tunity given to the House to vote on the
sugar schedules separately and the bill
must be accepted in its entirety or
killed.
That the House is agreeable to this
omnibus way Of dealing with the bill is
shown by its action of Saturday. when
Representative johnson Dem, Ohio)
made an unsuccessful effort in the
House to arrange matters so as to get a
separate vote ON the Sugar schedule of
the tariff bill. He had prepared the
following resolution, which he tried to
get before the House before the Speaker
named the conferrees, but Speaker Crisp
declined to recognize him.

After the House adjourned many
members sought Mr.. johnson to learn

and he said: Without some such reso-
luton as that, the conferrees will make
but one report, including every subject
in the bill, and the House will be COM

This proves that the bargain with the

no longer any doubt in the minds OF
those who have followed the present bill
through its winding tortuous course
that such will be the result.
The sugar schedules ere there to stay
or to kill the bill, and the chances are
about even as to which end they will
finally be allowed to take.
So it is not to be wondered at that
Speaker Crisp refused to recognize Con-
gresham Johnson on Saturday or that
no opportunity is to be given the House
to vote on these schedules separately.
The sugar bargain was made aud will

DIVIDED SPIRITS.
Two Circles That Have But Little In
Common Save Manifestations.

Not many weeks ago 1t was time for the
annual election of the spiritualists and 1t
resulted in trouble. A woman wanted to
be president, but the majority thought
differently and she was counted out and
man elected. The defeated candidate
wasn't mad, she said she wasn't, but she
saw things differently so went of with a
goodly following of the old associates aud

COMPROMISES Is ANOUTRAGE NOW

Any attempt to compromise on the
part Of the Pullman Company at the
present time woufd be an outrage. The
conditions have grown away and be-
yond the original quarrel, and the
question now is not the differ
ences between the Pullman company
and the strikers, but between law
lessness and order. The Government
of the United States has resolved to put
down lawlessness and put il down at all
hazards. Any cowardly yielding to mob
violence comes dangerously near vio-
lation of the laws, and now that the
question has been raised it should be
settled once for all, whether such labor
dis sturbances as have arisen in conse-
quence of Debs' commands are viola
tions Of the laws OF the nation. The
President. by his action, through his
confidential and constitutional advisers,
has declared them unlawful and tho
question is to be decided now by Fed
eral authorities. Martial law has been
substantially proclaimed and the set
tlement Of these questions should now be
left to the Federal Government In the
lawlessness that has followed the Pull
man strike the original trouble has been
lost to sight. aud the Pullman Company
can do the public no greater injury than
to cowardly yield to mob violence and
compromise with the law breakers who
have not hesitated at encouraging muir
der, arson and treason.
