ANOTHER STRIKE.

A terrible conflict has been wag-
ing in Brooklyn, N. Y, between the
Car men aud the companies over the
question of work. These are trouble
some affairs, causing loss of lives, de-
struction OF property and cost to
taxpayers for the use of militia and eX-
ira policemen. Its impoverishment
all the way through. The owners of
the street cars might afford to let
them remain idle. Then what will
the workmen do? Now they start
them and q force of 5000 soldiers
and policemen are on the ground
with hospitals, undertakers, and the
graveyard in view. Pretty near as
bad as the Japs and Chinese. But
it is the law that should govern, and
there is not anything clearer than
that the rights of persons and prop
erty cannot be infringed upon.
Build up but not destroy is the
meaning.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Hon. S. B. Elkins was promptly
elected U. S. Senator by the Legis-
lature on Tuesday last. Mr.. Cam
den received nearly the whole Of the
Democratic vote which he we'll mer-
tied. This now gives an open field
for the transaction Of business, which
we hope will be utilized for the ben
eft OF the people. A fair days work
and not too much talk, but enough
to draw out views on a question
with liberal allowance for commit
tee work should enable the people g
representatives to finish their duty
without the forty-five days of tho
regular session. This would be sue
cess not accomplished by the Demo
Gratis for several sessions and an
earning against their expense ac-
count of continued and extra SEES
sions which the people, who are the
tax payers, will appreciate. Get
right down to work, gentlemen. Do
not let it be said that any kind of a
lobby runs you.

Lord Randolph Churchill, after a
very active public life, died in Eng
land on Thursday. He acquired great
prominence as a statesman, polite
ian and an orator. He was much
thought Of in this country on ac-
count of his marital relations. He
entered Parliament in his twenty
fifth year, in 1874, ard has since
been a conspicuous ard prominent
character in the politics of that
country. His death was the result
Of paralysis, and in the ending of
mortality, he goes to the grave ad-
mired by his friends as well as by
his political opponents. He was a

Yankees will go down in the South
land and take charge of King Cotton

What Can be Accomplished.

The House of Representatives
has declared itself against the Car
isle bill. 1t is evident that no COM
prehensive plan will command a ma
jority OF both Houses, and yet it is
necessary that something be done
for the relief OF the country. The
gold of the Treasury continues to
disappear. Since Mr.. Harrison's adj
ministration began, about $2l8,000,-
600 in gold has been drawn from the
Treasury-$l48,0o0,000 more than
the sum necessary to meet the dsfic-
iency OF the last fiscal year. II the
drain continues for a few weeks
longer at the rate at which it has
been going on, the Secretary OF the
Treasury will be obliged to advertise
another issue of five per cent. bonds.
He sold the last $50,000,000 of Sc
curilies at price which makes the
loan nominal charge OF three per
cent. on the governments revenues,
revenues that without this additional
burden are insufficient to meet the
public expenditures. But the bonds
are now selling on the market for
less than the purchasing syndicate
paid for them. As prices stand, the
syndicate has lost on the transaction.
Can the Secretary market another
lot of bonds issued under the law of
1875? Probably, but he may not
obtain the prices that were paid for
the two lots already added to the
public debt. If the market for gov
eminent bonds remain under the con-
troll of the men who now manipulate
the prices, he will be lucky if he
makes the loan at three and half
per cent. But counting the premium
obtained on these bonds as if it is to
be deducted from the interest is a
mere bookkeeping pretence. If $780,
600, 900 Of bonds are sold at SLIT
the government receives $58,500,000
less the cost of effecting the loan. 1t
receives $8,500,000 premium, but for
the years during which the bonds
run it must pay five per cent. on the
$50, 100000. On the 100000, 900
already borrowed the annual charge
is $5,0O0,000. There is no reason to
believe that there will be any de-
crease in the demand for gold 30
long as the legal tenders and Treas
ury nptes are in existence. 1t is pre-
sumable, if the Treasury goes on is
suing these five per cent. bonds, that
the aggregate addition to the public
debt in this way will reach$500,000,-
600, the sum of the legal tenders and
Treasury notes now outstanding, and
then the annual burden of interest on
these bonds issued to overcome the
assaults upon the Treasury gold will
be $25,000,000. The necessities of
the government may not permit the
Secretary to stop even with an issue
of S500,000,000. There are no limits
to the evil possibilities that may re-
suit from the continued existence of
this government demand paper.

DO NOT DIsPARAGE CREDIT

There seems to be an idea broad
cast in every community among tat
tiers, mouUhers and rumorists that the
best thing they can do even when
they do not own ten cents worth
themselves, is to break up some poor
struggling mortal .endeavoring to
make living for himself, his family
or some other dependent relative. If
sthere is little judgment of S. or $40
against tradesman or merchant, it
is reported, and then every other
claim that can be found by "nosing"
into other peoples business is look
ed up and general scare created.
No man-ought to do this in his own
home. A man may be a creditor to-
day, and he may possibly owe some
of these people he looks up. He
