THE END AT HAND.

The announcement that the strike was
off seems to have been premature. 1t was
at first presumed that tLe conditions in
sisted upon by President Debs would be
accepted by the railroad managers. This
general presumption has not been realized.
The position the Government has taken
relieves the managers from any necessity
80 listen to conditions. The Government
is fighting their battles, and is certain to
win. The managers therefore say that
there is no occasion for conference with
Debs. They propose TO take back such of
their old employees as they want, and to let
the rest look for work elsewhere. 10 a
word, they leave Debs where he must do
his utmost 20 maintain mis- position or rest
under a charge of bad faith by the men,

TIE PARTY ThAT WINS.

There are people probably who regard
the loss O1casiCned by the railroad tie-up
as so much wealth taken out of the world.
II is gone. and no one seems 10 have re-
ceived any benefit from it. individuals
have been ruined and other individuals
who had nothing but their labor have lost
that. There is bad blood where but fey
weeks ago the kindliest feelings existed.
Men have been disappointed 10 each other.
The railroad managers on one side and
their employees on the other have done
things which for a time will cause mutual
distrust.
But it is by such movements that society
rights wrongs Inflicted upon it. The hu-
man nina which is just judge of its
own workings is rare. Many men think
they are right when they are woefullv
wrong. The Pulmans and Carnegies,
who work themselves into a position to
legally acquire millions from poorly paid
labor, do not regard themselves as enc
mics to society. Possibly they think that
they are indispensable TO its well being
From long contemplation of their purposes
from a selfish point of view they reach
conclusions entirely satisfactory to them
selves. Such movements as that which
has just convused the country
make no impression upon the
minds Of men whose greed called them
into action. but they serve as an object
lesson to the world at large. Facts are
brought to light which but few know or
cared to know. Men are not only enlight-
ened but their moral sense is stimulated.
A higher standard of judgment is thus
formed. The man or the corporation
which apparently comes out with flying
colors may be the party most grievously
wounded. All hope of progress has to
rest upon is in the innate sense Of justice
in men and women. That sense may be
slow to act. it may seem to sleep. 1t may
even seem to be dead. but If it does not in
time assert itself and dominate affairs it
will be difficult to show that enlighten-
ment is better than barbarism.

COURT-PLASTER.
When and How 1t Should Be APP
piled TO Slight Wounds.


Youths Companion.
Couri.plaster should be used simply as a
protection for a wound. Except in this indi-
rect way 1t does not exert The slightest curative
power.
Roughly speaking. there are three great dl-
visions of flesh wounds. There are wounds
which present to the eye a clean-cut edge, as
though some sharp instrument or knife had
acted as the agent; these are called lnclsed
wounds. Then there are decorations, with
which is associated more or less Dfulslng OF
the surrounding tissues; th~se are confused
wounds. And finally, there are punctured
wounds, by which are meant Injuries made by
penetrating straight down into the tissues.
In the first class of wounds the manner OF
healing is apt to be by what IS called first
tntentiOn'; that Is, the two clean-cut edges,
when closely approximate adhere firmly TO
each other without delay. In the other kind
OF wounds more or less new tissue Is formed
Within their boundaries. and the process OF
healing is thus somewhat delayed.
On what kind of wounds then Is 1t permlssl-
Die 10 use court plaster?
AS we shall hardly be Inclined TO use 1t If the
decorations are at all extensive, we may limit
our answer 10 such cases as are met with In our
daily work, although il Is precisely these APP
pafently minor cases that will often be found
to give the most trouble afterward and from
which blood poisoning results so frequently.
There Is then only one class OF wound where
we may avail ourselves of the simple but
II properly USED. sufficiently effective treatment
by the plaster-namely, inctsive wounds. in
which the agent intiictlng the injury has left
one clear sharp line 10 mark its path. In these
cases little straps OF plaster which shall draw
the two edges firmly together will be all that Is
required.
In all other cases. In which there is the pos
sibty of poison or infection being present in
tile wound, or which are characterized while
healing by any increase whateVer of tissue SUBJ
stance, the employment of cour-plaster should
be strictly prohibited, for IL Will almost invari-
ably cause fostering and an Increase OF mis-

which there is only inflammation, however

MORE OBJECTIONS.

The opponents OF woman suffrage
have found what they suppose to be
two objections to the proposition Of
novel character.
One is that there would arise a con-
hict between the religious and the civil
laws II woman should be allowed to
vote. In the marriage ceremony. which
they regard as a sacrament OF the
church. the wife pledges herself to obey
her husband. and the mandate is
wives. obey your husbands"
But the civil laws makes II a penal
offense for any person to seek to infiu-
sought to dictate to his wife how to
cast her ballot he would be liable to go
to State prison. But would not n wife
violate the pledge given at the altar II
she should refuse to obey her husband
in such n matter?
Another objection Is found in the
United States Constitution. In the
preamble 1t is declared that the people
do ordain and establish this Constitu-
tIon In order among other things, to
insure domestic tranquility" These
uuibblers ask whether the hcstowal OF
the franchise on women can be claimed
to be n means of insuring domestic
tranquility?
or course. these points will be sub
mitted to the Constitutional Conven
| tion, and the able and experienced la W
yer at the head of that important Re
publican body Is competent to pass upoi
| them.
