THE RAILWAY UNION.
Local Situation Of the Great Pullman
Htrike.


Everything points TO the great rail-
road strike extending to this city.
The railway employees north 0f Ash
land are not federated with the Ameri-
can Union north Of Ashland, nor at
Portland. The switchmen at Portland
are not federated or they would not
have helped make up the regular oyer
land that went south last night.
There are between two and three
hundred railway employees on this
division. The new federation includes
engineers, conductors, switchmen,
station agents, yard masters, section
foremen, brakemen, firemen etc.
The American Railway Union was
started at Chicago June 20, 1893, and
90 onsequently is but little more than
year old. Its membership now in
cludes enough men TO tie up almost
avery railroad in the country in a gen
eral strike. It's great success in the
G Great Northern strike attracted TO IL
m lch public attention, and the out
come of the present difficulties will be
watched with great interest.
In its declaration of principles, the
American Railway Union assumes
that the number of employees in the
service of the railroads Of America is
DOT less than 1000, 600 less than $50, 600
If whom are members of the old
brotherhood organizations, leaving
more than $50, 900 who are not enrolled

An UnconsclonaDle Olrculator OF
Counterfeit Money.
Mrs. Emma Pickerell was before Re-
corder Edes last evening, charged with
passing counterfeit money.
A five dollar gold piece was given
her the other day for doing some wash
Ing for a stranger, whose description
tallies with that of the man captured
at Oregon City with about five hundred
dollars of gold counterfeit quarter
eagles In his possession. When Mrs
Pickerell told her story Marshal Mimic
and Judge Edes decided she was inno-
cent and ordered her release. In view
of the fact that Mrs. Pickerell Is very
poor, is without means, and In not ro-
bust health, and is supporting herself
and two little children, one two years
and one five, entirely by her labor at
washing clothes, her case appealed to
the charitable instincts of the two OFF,
GERS of the law very strongly. Mrs.
Plckerell has had great misfortunes.
Her husband was arrested for horse
stealing committed several years before
she married him, In Eastern Oregon.
She patiently waited for him until he
was released from prison, when she was
united with him again, but was since
forced to leave him by his brutal con-
duct. He Is now In Southern Oregon,
and she came to Salem to support her
family by honorable industry. She de-

In her noble struggle to support herself

Altogether Bad.

The Herald, in common with
other Republican newspapers
has persistently declared that
each and all of the alleged tar
if bills evolved by the Demo
cratic majority in Congress are
bad, very bad. Some of our
Democratic friends have become
offended because we have been
SO persistent. But now Grover
Cleveland writes Hon. VIM. l..
Wilson that the German Brice
(Senate) bill is un-Democratic
and urges the House to fight it,
intimating that it will be vetoed
if passed in its present shape.
In the same way, nearly a score
of Democratic Senators declare
with one voice that the Wilson
bill is not what is required and
that they will not vote for it.
The moral to the above is.
Who is right?

Falling into Line.

The Fairmont West Virginian
of last week joins the Herald in
urging the nomination of Hon.
Stephen B. Elkins for Congress
and adduces good and sufficient
reasons why he should accept.
Later, Hon. George G. Sturgiss,
ofMorgantown isquoted in an in
terview published in the Wheel
ing Intelligencer, as saying, II
think Mr.. Elkins should be in
duced to accept the nomina-
ton"
So it goes throughout the Dis
trict. The rank and file, as well
'as those who laudably aspire to
the position, are of one mind.
Let the convention do it's duty
and victory is assured.

In Free Trade England.

Democrats never tire telling
how property has accumulated
in the hands a few in this
country, and ascribe it to Pro-
lection. They never mention
England, but in the August Fo-
rum Mr.. Price Collier shows that
John Bull pays a trifie more
than $300.0O0,0o0 a year for
farm rent alone. This fact be-
comes the more clear, and one
may add the more lugubrious,
when it is said that there are
70, 100000 acres of land in the
United Kingdom and that 50,-
900, 900 of those acres are owned
by $4,000 persons, and 20, 900, 900
are owned by only /, 900 persons,
in a word 38, 4S5, 900 inhabitants
of Great Britain have %, 900, 900
acres, and the other $4,000 have
50,O00,000 acres; or, more con-
cisely still, 1000 Englishmen
own five-twelfths of all the land
in Great Britain.

The past week has been the
most interesting of the fight
over the tariff question. The
conference committee failed to
agree and so reported. Mr.. Will
son made a speech in the House
during which he had read a
personal letter from the Presi-
dent urging him to stand firm
for the original bill and to re-
fuse to accept the Senate COM
promise. A sensation was Gre
ated. On Monday Senator Cor
man made a vicious attack on
the President charging him with
duplicity. Other Senators cor
roborated Mr.. German. Sena-
tor Hill defended the President
and the fun waxed fast and fur
I0uS. Then a caucus was held and
things patched up. 1t was de-
cided to continue the conference
without instructions. The in
dications now are that the House
will accept the Senate bill. If
it does the farce will end.
