I CALL DOWN.

Senator Smith of New Jersey is hear
ing from his constituents concerning
his course on the tariff bill, and he has
received what in every day parlance is
known as a call-down in the shape of an
indignant protest in which words are
not minced in reminding him OF ante
election pledges, and denounciDg his
betrayal Of the confidence bestowed
upon him. Among other things the
protest says: sin your contest for the
United States ~Senatorship, 1T was dis
tinctly stated as a reason for your cleo
tion that You were in accord with the
policy of President Cleveland with ref
erence to the tariff and shared with him
distinctly all his views upon that subject.
1t was likewise stated as a reason for
defeating Governor Albeit that in you
we would have a representative OF clean
politics, and independent action and
true reform would be exemplified by
your efforts aud conduct. Under this
impression, the Democrats Of New Jer'
sey were satisfied.
"But it is with extreme regret that
we now have to inform you that the con-
idence hitherto existing is fast giving
way to distrust, and that your present
attitude is even arousing doubts whether
your course is influenced by patriotic
motives and due regard for the opinions,
wishes and interests Of a vast majority
of your constituents. If you persist in
the policy you are now pursuing relative
to tariff reform, you will materially as
sist in d~isorganizing the Democratic
party by bringing discredit upon it, and
you will succeed in having the State Of
New Jersey at the next election swep,
by the Republicans.
"This may be plain talk, but 1t Is ouI
duty to speak plainly to you that yor
may understand that the Democrats Of
our section are not in accord with you
in the policy which you are now pursu-
ing, and that disaster will overtake u.
beyond question"
Whether this protest will have an
effect upon Senator Smith the future
will determine, but it is hardly likely
to, as his term does not expire for some
time to come.
With Mcpherson badly smirched by The
sugar scandal and Smith charged with
violation of faith by his constituents
and supporters, New Jerseys delegation
in the upper branch of Congress ii
hardly an ornament to the State.

O A IRON AND G

The American Economist has been
looking into the free coal, iron and the
taxed sugar questions and the results of
its investigation are worthy of repro
duction. 1t finds that the coal product
of the United States in 1892 was $780,
O0O, 900 tons, worth $207, $3.50, 1871 at the
mines mouth. 1t afforded employment
to 341 ,943 workers, who each found re-
muuerative occupation on 212 different
days in the year. Their earnings
amounted to 1924, 800. 1876 and all expen-
lures to SAC, 536, $50. The total mount
of capital invested in the coal mines
was $3.50, 900, 900.
Mr.. Cleveland desires to destroy this
immense industry in order to let in the
Canadian coal of his friend Whitney.
The iron ore product of the United
States for the year ended June 30, 1890,
was IA, sis. 041 tons of 2240 pounds each,
worth $33, 351 ,97s at the mines mouth.
1t afforded employment to 3S,227 work
ers, who earned $14, 409, 151. The total
amount of capital invested was 800, 49,
100 and the total years expenditures
were SEA, 7s1, 65S from 502 different
mines.
Yet the President of the United States
aims a deadly blow at this great indus
try.
The sugar consumption OF the
United States on a basis of $1,000, 900
people, at a per capita consumption OF
65 pounds, is 4,420, 600, 900 pounds of
sugar. The value of ago, 600, 900 pounds
at 3 cents per pound is $l32, 800, 900. An
al valorem tax of 40 per cent. upon this
S132, 600, 900 will be So, 0i0, 900. This
tax Of 500. 040, 900, divided among the
5000, 900 of sugar, will be IS
cents upon each man, woman and child.
or $500 upon each family of five persons.
Yet the President OF the United States
to favor the most audacious monopoly
Of the nation wants to put this enor-
nous tax upon the people Of the nation,
and make a gift TO the most
liberal subscribers to his campaign
funds of untold millions. No
wonder The Economist concludes
from its researches that the policy Of

DEFYING THE COURTS.

Four hundred Santa Fe Railroad en-
ployes Were recently summoned to APP
pear before the United States Court at
Topeka. Last night they held a meets
ing of the American Railway Union and
decided to refuse to obey the summons.
The secretary Of the union wrote a let
ter to the Judge of tie United States
Court in which he says that in behalf OF
himself and other men he " begs leave
to say we are not conscious OF having
violated any law aud we do not feel
justified in paying railroad fare to n
swer them in person nor will we employ
an attorney"
He then proceeds to further instruct
the judge upon the unrighteousness OF
his course by adding 'if the DEGREES OF
the court can be invoked against us with
no more justification than in the pres
ent case, then our boosted justice and
liberty is simply a jug handle affair and
we will not attempt to resist. You VIII
find US at Augustine whenever you want
u.s."
This letter is probably m Of the most
monumental exhibitions of nerve on
record. A from a United
States court is a thing it does not pay to
wilfully disregard, and it is right that 1t
should be SO, else justice would fail. To
refuse to comply with it is contempt Of
court and a violation Of the law.
To increase this contempt by insulting
the judge and desying him is something
that it takes either a very brave man or
a fool to do.
When Judge Scarritt gets that letter
there will be a different turn to the
affair that he will enforce his sum-
mons goes without question; that he
will severely punish those who question
his right to call them into court and
who defy him is equally certain.
Whether they are conscious OF vio-
lating laws or not" they will know more
about judicial procedure when the end
of this case is reached than they ap-
parently do today. They seem to be de :
pending upon the mere fact that there
are 400 of them and that this will deter
any punishment being awarded them.
But this is placing dependence upon
a broken reed. If 400 could resist the
orders of the United States Court. law
and order is at an end and Judge Scar
rift can be depended upon to teach these
crack-brained men that the law is
supreme and while they may number
400 there are 60, 900, 900 of people behind
Judge Scarritt and the law.

DEBS' RESPONSIBILITY.

Debs' sudden reformation will no
condone his terrible offences, and he viii
have to face the responsibility he as
sumed when he ordered the big strike
that brought the country face to face
with a reign of terror. He is now in
the hands of the court, and 1t is safe to
assume that in spite of the ability and
ingenuity of his counsel he will be made
to expiate in q measure for the awful
deeds for which he became responsible
when he ordered the big strike among
his followers.
To be sure his counsel claim that he
is not guilty of contempt because the
injunction served on him did not enjoin
him from 50 advising F" men to quit. 1t
enjoined from " ordering " but not from
I" advising" and hence SO long as the
leader did nothing but !" advise he Is
not guilty; he did not commit any act of
violence himself, and could not be held
responsible for the violence of others.
"Mr. Walker. as counsel for the Gov
eminent, made the common sense re-
joinder," says the Minneapolis Tribune,
"that all strike orders which had result
ed in the stoppage OF commerce and the
mail came from the Offices of the A. h.
u. in Chicago, and that these orders
were responsible for everything that
happened in quence, even to the
loss Of life. And Judge Grosscup
brushed away the fiimsy legal cobwebs
of the Dsbs attorneys with the remark
that the Government theory was that
the violence-as well as the other results
were the consequences Of the tele-
graphic orders sent out by the defend
ants"
As a former friend of Debs points
out: "The responsibility for every step
in the recent attack upon the Pullman
cars and on the railways rests solely
upon Eugene V. Debs. His attempts TO
avoid a responsibility for the fiasco he
SO proudly termed an industrial revolu-
ton are unmanly and insincere. His
blunders, deliberately entered into after
refusal to accept the advice of wisely
colleagues, are the sole cause of his
present ~ignopniny. He was the sole
cause of the declaration of the boycott,
and he was the only man of any exper-
fence who wanted TO change the pro-
posed boycott to an attack upon the Gen
eral Managers Association. This he did
without the authority of the convention,
without taking a vote upon any If the
roads he ordered to strike, and without
the slightest right to do 50 granted him
by the constitution of his order. IL is
upon Eugene V. Debs and him alone
that the railway men OF the country
must look AZ the author Of their mis-.
fortunes. HE'S a wrecker and a calam-
ity to any labor organization to which
he may lend himself. II he is no sup
pressed now, once and for all. he will

1T is now stated that the President
shows "a disposition to yield much on
the sugar question, provided the Senate
will make fair aud honorable conces-
sions on the other items in controversy,
especially coal, iron ore, woolens,

items" In other words, Grover is
coming down off his perch and wants

for his coal syndicate friends all that
they desire, as he has intended to do

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
A Municipal Street Railway.
Boston Transcript.


The beginning Of the operation of the street
railway system in Glasgow by the municipal
ity is an event worthy of special note, as it
may nave a far-reaching influence. since the
problem may be definitely solved as To
whether such an extensive system can
be worked profitably as n corporation
scheme. The street railways of most large
European cities belong to the municipalities,
but in nearly all cases they are leased to o Q
atiag companies. In one or two instances tne
corporation work the lines; but in such ca -es
the systems are small. AT Glasgow it is other
wise. The system Is prot ably the largest In the
United Kingdom, and the traffic brings in
SAB, 600 a mile annually. The change from Il Q
company to corporation working. made Oh
July l., was due to u difference of opinion be-
tween the parties as to the proper terms OF n
new lease.
The municipality intends TO make exhaus-
tive tests OF all systems of mechanical pro
pulsion, and has already commenced 70 lay
a cable conduit. The ten hour day for the
men has been adopted. The first day OF the
week a man may go on during the first i've
hours Of operation, lay of for the next five
hours ana then go on duty again for the last
five hours. The next day he wilt work the
last ten hours and the third day he will work
the first ten hours, so that In this way all the
men are fairly treated. Drivers and conduc-
tors are paid So a week, with sl.l2 extra to
the men who work on Sundays. One cent
fares have been adopted. and no advertise
ments will be allowed In the cars.
The Scotch are q practical and thrifty race,
and always know what they are about. But
20 hear some of our local wise men talk,
the person who proposes the municipalities
having n hand In city transportation is
yerxing toward Socialism. In order to get
low fares and constant improvements, instead
of farming out the public streets. as we
do. to private enterprise, the main object
of which Is TO earn dividends for stock
holders, and the constant purpose to make
as little change or Improvement rs possible,
the canny Glaswegians take the whole bust
ness into the hands of the municipality. They
did the same thing with the docks of the
Clyde less than fifty years ago, with the re-
suit of making their then one-horse town one
of the great commercial centers Of the globe.
