THE NEED OF ARBITRATION.

The necessity OF finding a way TO settle
labor troubles by arbitration was never
more clearly shown than by General
Master Workman Sovereign in a letter
from the coal regions OF Illinois. After de-
scribing the heartrending scenes OF misery
and starvation among the families OF idle
miners, Mr.. Sovereign says:
Having heard the walls OF hunger as
long as my patience could endure, my
mind naturally drirted into the cOnsidera-
tlOn Of a remedy. With a few friends /
visited the office OF the coal company
and there attempted to convince the
superintendent that the miners did not
deserve 10 he locked out because they pro-
tested against further reduction Of 10

aud children, 10 submit the matter 10
arbitration. His brow wriDkled and his
fist clincheG as he angrily replied, 'staTye
ANA be damned! "
There isa species OF human vampire too
low, too mean TO be recognized as belonging
TO the brotherhood OF man. 1t abounds in
cur industrial structure and it's heartless
system OF wage piracy creates much suffer
ing and distress and prevents many from
rising in its social scale. BY what dis
peusation OF P rovidence these human
vultures were given the form OF man is
past ordinary comprehension, but they
are here and IT is as necessary to guard
against their happiDess-wr methods
as it is to protect society from the GRIM
inal classes.
The employer referred to in the above
interview belongs to this species.
Where is the man who would rot con-
template desperate deeds when brought
In contact with such an employer? Forced
to idiencss by the INSCRIPTIONS cutting OF
wages; with wife and children sick and
starving, ard with no immediate prospect
OF work TO give relief 10 loved ones, what
would you do? Put yourselves IN the place
OF these starving miners and answer this
question.
The only remedy FOR such lamentable con-
ditions is the arbitration OF labor differ
ences. When either employer OF employed

be found 10 compel fair methods. There
Is no more reason why an employer should
be permitted 20 rob, by unnecessary reduc-
tions OF wages, than that merchants should
be given license to use short weights. The
principle is the same. Nor. for that matter,
should employees take advantage OF cir

GOOD TIMES PREDICTED.

Few men are better judges Of the busi-
ness prospects OF a town than the managers
of hotels. They know that lively travel
means good times 1t is gratifying, there
fore, to find that the Bonifaces of Washing
ton predict that they will have their hands
and houses full next winter, and business
in the city win take an upward turn
By the experience of the past the future
may be wen gagged. Good business at
the hotels has almost invariably been fol-
lowed by an increase OF business in the dif-
ferent mercantile establishments Consid-
cradle money is put in circulation by the
strangers within the gates, and this flows
into the different channels which nourish
the business of the community.
IL the hotel keepers are true prophets, 1T
may happen that next spring viii see the
revival in building which has so long been
hoped for.

THE GOLD BUG ULTIMATUM.

Since the proclamation or the sound
money bureau that the silver cause is
waning but is not dead the public wingather
courage sufficient 10 wait for the funeral
For some time past it has been u question
with those who have read the calamity
not it would be best TO use what little
money we have left to bore hole into
the center of the earth and blow the old
thing up with dynamite.
The thought comes, however, that this
silver discussion has been going on ever
since people began to dig holes in the earth,
and possibly the silver craze is not so dead
as the go!dbugs would have it. According
to Western reports it has still life enough
left to ron up naioritics in political convcn-
tions, and unless checked with something
besides talk is likely to live longer than
politics,
What makes the world seem more worth
saving now is the immense prosperity it is
about TO bring US. Ever since the time
Noah repeopled the globe there has been
a question if he did wisely. But now
that good times are surely in sight we can
afford to put this ark-ancestral incident
on the shelf along with the politicians.
With enormous agricultural crops and re-
newed activity in trade the prospect for
prosperity was never better. Therefore
let the money controversy cease.

"CROOKS" IN TOWN.

An uncomfortable feeling in the COM
munity has undoubtedly been caused by
the number OF cases OF hou sebreaking, lar
ceny, arson, and other crimes that have
filled the police calendar of late.
The cause is not far 10 seek. The wave
OF reform that is spreading over the big
cities OF the country has diminished the
opportunities of tie crooks" They are
eyer-ready birds of passage, and so they
quickly seek fresh fields and pastures new
Chicago alone, il is understood, has got
rid of about 40 per cent Other lawless popu-
lation.
The widely-advertised reign of the out
law tracks, the prevalence of unbridled
crime in Alexandra county, and the fact
that the law officials there comive at al
forms OF wrong doing, have undoubtedly
had much to do with attracting thugs,
burglars, and sneak thieves TO the neigh
borhood of the National Capital.
Alexandria city has been overrun with
lawless tramps, who have openly threat
ened householders If their wants were not
supplied. However, our ancient neighbor
has brought this state OF thugs Oh itself
by its inaction in dealing with outlaw
aggression.

The venerable minister is still erect and
able TO attend to his pastoral duties. Over
fifty years ago he was licensed to preach
and his first fled OF labor was among a
little band that he gathered together
in Richmond. To-day the remainder OF
that band, their children, and grand-chil-
dFen are still in the Virginia city and DR..
Hoge is their pastor. Through the half
century the Second Presbyterian Church
has stood, and stree its organization it has
known no other pastor but Dr. Hoge, and
he has had no other settlement.

Marine Band Concert.

The pretticst picture of outdoor life in
Washington this season, perhaps for many
seasons, was preserted yesterday after
noon on the lovely White Lot Ample COM
pensation was made TO the public by the
weather purveyors for the frequent dis
appointments of late in having the usual
summer evening musical outing at the
White House. II had become a proverb
that 1t would rain if the Marine Band
made its appearance on the grounds.
The public, however, got quite even with
this fatality yesterday afternoon. At the
close OF the concert there could have been
no less than 5000 people on the grounds.
Around the band reservation there was
a dense mass of people who love music for
the music itself, but there stretched cooIly

In conclusion, let coroner's Juries ccase

selves to their rightrul functions Of es-
tablishing the cause of death through

those concerned in the Green inquest, but
the necessity of more vigorous measures to
protect the public from the use of deadly
weapons must be apparent TO all, and to
none is il more evident than those connected
with the press.

The Fencibles, the High School Cadets
the Morton Cadets, the Corcoran Cadets,
and the National Rifles were well repre-
sented, and OF course their friends, and
the friends of their friends:
There were cliques on tn" grounds and
due respect and ovation was paid 10 the
particular conlpany's march as the band
stirred the pride and memories of each
command, and its ''claque" This claque,
by the way, was composed OF bevies OF
beauties in the daintiest OF summer cos
tunes, and can make itself heard when it
comes TO giving the soldier lads an ovation
The afternoon and evening were ideal
in their suggestions There was a light
breeze from the southeast, the temperature
was perfect, and the la WINS were yelvety
as the traditional carpet of grass"
The band played in excellent style and
was rewarded by the popular approval of
the unique and extremely stirring pro-
granme.

Why is it that boys from sixteen to about

when it comes to their petty affaireS du
COeur2 l have lately met several matr0ns
who couldn't see what their sons found
to admire in this girl or that, whose family
was beyond the limits of aristocracy.
DR.. StakeIy, OF this city, tells a rather
interesting story in that line.
Before he came to Washington one OF
his colleagues, an old man, who. like many
others living in the nineteenth century,
could not keep up with its rapid pace used
to go To the young minister with many
of the trifleS that annoyed him.
The old mans two sons, one seventeen and
the other eight ht--is, had been worrying him
a great deal by l'estOwing attentions upon
two girls who somehow did not please the
old gentleman. The boys were Iectured
repeatedly, with no effect Finally in
desperation the elder man went to Dr.
Stakcly and said;
''Stakely, what am 70 do with EN-?
They amt men; they amt boys; they
amt even foI-b"
