lists, but the public shoud understand once
and for all time that municipal authorities
are giving away what does not belong to
them. Taking the most reasonable view
of such transactions, IL must appear to the
most Ordinary intelligence that the Dis
trict officials might with almost equal
show of right assume to present to cor
poratIons on golden platter the personal
property of the people at large.
Not only are the streets the property
of the public, but these corporations which
secure in mysterious ways gratuitous fran
chises depend for their emolunents upon
the patronageofa a public into whose pockets
they thrust their hands al their own pleas
ure.
The day is past for such concessions of
public property to private greed. If mu-
inequalities are not sufficiently enlightened
to build and operate such machinery for
their own benefit, they should at least
have the ordinary business shrewduess tn
compel speculative individuals and corpora
tions to pay handsomely for the use of the
peoples possessions.

THE LAST STRAW.

Fresh massacres of Christians and AT
meniaps in Turkey, revolts in many Of the
provinces OF that wretched country, and
the revolutionary determination OF pow
erfui element among the Turks in the very
shadow of the palace of the Sultan, indi-
cate with certainty that the end OF the
present condition Of things is close at
hand.
Tue reported massacre Of teachers in the
country between Erzeroum and Trebizond
should. be the last straw to break the back
Of Europe's hesitation to take hold OF the
Suftan's administration by the throat, and
place force in the field among the saw
ages who live but to rob and murder, which
will compel peace and safety.
Politics and diplomacy have interfered
to prolong action of European governments.
Each aims to secure an advantage in the
anticipated new deal. The quality OF
mercy docs not enter into their negotia-
tions. Expressions OF sympathy with
those who are threatened and attacked
are but the hollow utterances OF hypocrisy.
But out OF this offensive condition, and
out Of the greed for national and commercial
advantage, will doubtless come some re-
lief for tue civilized factions which now
seem to be completely at the mercy ol
robbers and murderers Of the most sava ge
type.

MIR. sovEREIGN,s REPORT.

The annual address of The general master
workman of the Knights of Labor bristles
with frank statements, not only of the in
ternal dissensions of the order which now
happily appear to be ended, but also of the
struggle with organized capital. One of
the most remarkable passages of re-
markable paper is the following:
Construction by judicial authority Is
already given to law, placing all labor
organizations in the category of criminal
conspiracieS. MisdemeaDorS of the most
trivial char3 cter have been raised to felony
without sanction of law and used to i'm
prison representatives of labor organiZa-
tions, and injunctions followed by charges
of contempt have been used TO condemn
labor leaders to the felon's cell without
evidence of guilt or trial by jury.
This is severe but absolutely just
statement of the mea ming of actions of
State and National authorities within
the last two or three years.
Under the shadow of mere police pro-
ceediDgs for the prevention of turbulence,
even the President of the United States
and his law officers have made q prece-
dent for tue arrest upon trivial pretexts
of leaders in the cause of labor and their
Incarceration in prison.
These acts, under cover of official au-
thority, have not been misunderstood by
the general public. That they were an
attack upon the very groundwork and ped
estal of organized labor was clearly and
insolently palpable. Not one of the in
famous decisions Of other days in the
interests of chattel slavery was more ex-
plicit in its meaning than the promulga-
tions Of National and State authorities
IN regard TO the interference of organized
labor with the impositions Of greedy cor
porations.
General Master Workman Sovereign not
only voices the sentiment of organized
labor in his reference to this official con-
spiracy, but the sentiment as well of the
universal public, which rebels against this
degradation Of delegated power to do
the wrctched work of corporations.

MIR. GRIswoLD's LITTLE ROAD.

News columns of The Times during the
last two or three days have shown shat the
Anacos,ia street railroad has lost practi-
cally all of its patronage on account of the
lockout OF the employees by President Girls
void. and that free passes are even issued
to induce the public to use the wretched
and discrcdited line.
Mr.. .Griswoid appears to he convinced that
this affair is one which concerns only his
corporation, acting as private individual
He evidently has no conception of the mean-
ing of his relations to the public, and that
his franchise was intended for the benefit
of the people as well as for the benefit of
his purse He Iabors under the delusion
that the public is to be blessed when he can
play it for big profit, and that the op-
posite of the beuediction is the proper cpl
thet when he is in any way anita gonized.
In his loss Of patronage anu issue of free
passes Mr.. Girls woidhas frittered ava more
of the possible receipts of his road than
would have paid for long months to the
employees the difference between the former
aud the proposed wages. 1t is. therefore.
perfectly evident that there is something
more in this lock out than appears upon the
surface. Other corporations doubtless
contribute literally to make successful this
wretched and contemplate assault on or
gauized labor.

wEDDINGs AND POLITICS.

The attendance of the President at the
wedding of daughter Of ex-Secretary
Whitney has, reasonably or unreasona bly,,
started speculation in the direction of Mr.
Whitney as the Democratic candidate foI
the Presidency. While marriages and
politics are not usually important, except
in monarchic countries, theorists insist that
the Presidents effort in lending his pres
ence to the glittering occasion had more
than a social significance.
If this be the fact, it is perfectly proper
to discuss the subject without reserve, and
1t may be suggested that If Mr.. Whitney
has harbored aspirations for the Presiden
tial nomination, he should have been more
democratic in his family weddings.
The gorgeous affair Of Tuesday in New
York, the lavish display, the fortunes in
costumes, the other fortunes in presents
of gold and silver and precious stones, the
effusive Haunting of the presence of im-
measurable money bags in the face Of the
whole world, put an imperative prohibi-
ton upon the nomination of Mr.. Whitney
with any hope of success at the polls. The
wedding would be an inevitable and ire
pressible campaign issue.
Leaving his intimacy with great mo-
nopolies, like the Standard Oil Company, out
of the question, the lavish display in
church and mansion on Tuesday, precluded
all thought of the ex-secretary as an avail
able candidate.

To a ftiead in this city Amos j. Cum
mings, who was elected to Congress from
New York during the whirlwind of last
election day, conveys the information that
when the National House of Representa-
tives meets in December, he will offer a
joint resolution of Congress, stating that
in view of the present condition OF affairs
in the Island of Cuba, those who are ar
rayed there in opposition to the dominant
Spanish Government should be granted the
rights Of belligerents.-
Cummings is not rev to Congress. al
though he has not been officia ly within its
halls for two years, and he Will again find
himself oae of its most popular and forceful
members. He has rarely taken up q
fight in that body that has not been sue
cessful.
The attitude which he has determined to
assume in the matter of the Cuban insur-
rection may yet form momentous page
in the history OF this country.
II the resolution is adopted, Spain may
resent an action which it is not at all I'M
likely will bring victory to the Cuban
cause and wrest the Pearl Of the Antilles
from the grasp Of the Spaniards.

Amos Cummings is much loved OF news
paper men, because he is one Of them
through bone and fiber.
He come by his journalistic faculty
through inheritance, because his father
edited religious paper at Irvington, N.
Y, jay Gould's latest mundane home. 1t
is not likely that he got his middle name
OF Jay from that great, relentless finan-
cier, because he was born in 1912, when
the other Jay was an humble tanner in
Monroe county, Pa, but it is probable that
his natural religious instincts were warped
by his becoming a printers devil in his
fathers office at the early age Of twelve.
When he had fully solved the mysteries
of the case" he tramped his way through
the composing rooms OF the country. and
later Joined the last two OF Walkers fill
clustering expeditions to Nicaragua and was
with that famous adventurer when he was
executed by the authorities of the South
American republic which he was attempt
ing to raid.
Cummings was among a number of
American lads who had been captured, but
who were rescued by United States war
ship before verdicts OF death had been exc
cuted. He came back to New York and set
type on the Tribune until the war broke
out.
Needless to say that a man with as much
ginger in him as animates Cummings be-
came volunteer and fought for the unifica-
ton OF his country. He didn't have any
political pull, but he rose TO the rank OF
sergeant major. He fought at Frcdar-
icksburg and Charlottesville, and in the
latter conflict he displayed such extreme
valor that he now possesses medal of hon.
OF presented to him by Con gress for heroism
on that occasion.
The rebellion over he returned to his
case in the New York Tribune office and
there, upon one occa sion, he displayed the
Newspaper instinct which possessed him by
returning to the office late at night and
seeting up in type an account of fire
without writing a line OF manuscript-and
there were no type machines then.
This feat attracted the attention OF
Horace Greeley, who placed him on the
reportorial staff. From that position he
successfully rose to the grades Of night
editor, city editor and political editor
of the newspaper that was at that time
the most potent factor in the politics OF
this country.
He became eDdeared to the kindly Greeley
and was one OF his most valued assistants.
After the sad death of the founder of the
Tribune in 1872, Cummings joined the
editorial staff of the New York Sun, and
