WE APPEAL TO THE CHARTER.

We understand that some members
of the city council say The Herald
is mistaken in stating that objections
TO the street lighting ordinance are to
prevail or not. according TO the vaIua-
ton of the property they represent. We
can only judge of that by the charter
under which the ordinance is claimed
20 have been framed. We do not know
how the council proposes TO arrange
for hearing objections, but we do know
that there is only one way provided
by the charter.
If the proposition is to proceed under
the act Of January IA, 1865, there is no
way to protest against the assessment
except as to inequalities that may be
corrected. The assessment is to be
made by three commissioners and

SLAVES To LABOR DICTAToRs.

During the past month fully 500 men
have been thrown out of employment
In the Occur d Alenes, and with the ex-
ceptton of about one hundred men who
last month got 500 and $2501h a day,
all We're receiving SO or $3.50 per day.
With the exception of about forty.
practically all of these five hundred
men, had they acted in accordance
with their own wishes and those of
their employers, would have been work.
ing today and most likely would have
continued so all winter. The reason for
this condition is that there are a few
men here who control the destiny of
labor in the Occur d Alenes, and who
prefer to bankrupt friends and foes
alike rather than permit any man to
go under ground for less than what
they consider proper compensation.
Thus $4,000 is tied up every month
which would have been paid out and
largely circulated among the people,
bringing prosperity and permanence
TO hundreds of homes. How long will
men who want to work and business
men whose all depends on the opera
ton Of the mines submit to this ruinous
rule?
The foregoing is from the Occur
FAlene Miner. 1t illustrates what The
Herald has frequently argued. Working
people should not make themselves
slaves to dictators in labor organiza-
tons any more than to the capitalists
against whom they combine, Labor
unions will have to use more discre-
ton in ordering strikes than they have
III many instances in the past, or they
will quickly lose the influence they
have exercised over the masses of
their nemberS. The tyranny of the
labor bosses is just as bad a form Of
despotism as any other that exists and
is sometimes utterly senseless besides.
The duty of a workingman to his fam
lily is greater than that to his lodge or
order. And the sooner laboring people
determine to use their own good judg-
ment in preference to the irrational
and selfish demands of labor dictators
the better it will be for the cause of
the toiling millions.

The New York Evening Post thinks
1t is impossible to regard the nomina-

anything less than a, public calamity.

fact that he is Platts man. This is

HAWAII AND SAMOA.

The Republican press is still harping
on the subject of the Hawaiian policy
with a great deal of rancor, and the
endeavor is still being made to have
the people believe that President Cleve-
land has committed an objectionable
sin by attempting to act justly with a
monarchy. They still cry out about
setting UP of "dusky queen" about
people oppressed by a monarchy and de-
sirous of freedom, and they say that
President Cleveland did not show sum-
Gent desire for republican liberty
on the islands.
Leaving aside the question as to the
justice Of this government being a
party to the overthrow of another gov
eminent and then refusing to right the
wrong, and the further question as to
whether the Hawaiian islands are now
being governed in the form of re-
public, in view of the fact that a ma
jority Of the men who constitute the
government are foreigners, owing allie
glance to other nations, and holding
office under laws which disfranchise
five of the people and absolute
ly muzzle the press, it appears rather
strange that the Republican papers
have not been saying something about
the pet king OF uncle Benjamin Har-
rison.
Recent events have made only more
emphatic the argument of Senator
Mills on this subject immediately after
the recent tin-pot revolution in the
Hawaiian islands. Those who shudder

The tax is only to be assessed on the
incomes of persons and~~corporations

EASY TO SEE.

Gold pays all sorts of debts, large or
small 1t is sought to make silver
equal to the payment of all debts up
to five or ten dollars. Does that fact
not make silver a subsidiary money?
Is 1t, with such a provision, a money
the full equal Of gold? If so we are
one of those whose blindness is so
dense that for the life of US, we can't
see it.
The foregoing is clipped from a
country contemporary. The trouble
with it IS that it is based on false
assumption. There is no such PROPOSE
ton as that suggested. Silver is now
equal to the payment of all debts to
any amount unless there Is a special
contract to the contrary.
The five dollar legal tender limit was
a feature of the "demonetizing" act of
