IT'S pity some OF the numerous
partisan measures now on deck a,
Charleston we're not given TO Mr.. Brady
TO run away with.
THE most patient creature on eartn
is the miitlaman before a mob. lie is
supposed TO be simply a stone wall q
defense, and not sentieut creature
who may suffer and fight back.
IT SEEMS as {; q steamboat horror
sach as that which occurred at Alton late
Saturday night ought to be impossible.
Itteachss that even the TRANQUIL Ohio has
has It's full share OF dangerous depths.
THE Indictment by the Syracuse
grand jury Of FitzsimmOns for man
slaughter because OF the accidental
death Of his partner Riordan, while
sparring with hin in his nightly exhi-
bition some time ago, looks like perse-
eution and contemplate panderins to
the crank element.
WITH the Bethlehem iron aud steel
works busy on armor plate for Russia
and the Illiaois Steel Company at work
on an armor plate plant for Japan, even
the ex-calanity howlers must admit
that we have started the new year with
pretty good foundry trade with the
psupsr labor bsr5arians Of Europe aUG
Asia under the new tariff.
TIE striking glassworkers, or their
friends or symp&thlzsrs in Martins
Ferry, should bear in mind that such
dastardly ourases as THAI attempted
last night, which, fortunately, was frus-
trased in time, can only DO the cause OF
me strikers serious harm, put an ami
cable sett,emen, further away, and
maybe land the psrp etrators in prison.
LIKE all r9bs, the Brooklyn strikers
do rot appreciate what terrible risks
they run in fighting tho militia Lot
ms hone they will not be called upon 10
learn as the Chicago mob was. II the
militia should undertake to do little
fighting back as a relief from fearful
outrage and abuse, short work would
IA made Of the mob. Should the won
dsrfully patient and long suffering SOL
diers be ordered 10 FIRE, awful slaughter
must b. the result.
L.BoR COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
The report OF Commissioner of Labor
John NJ. SydsnstricEer for 1898 end
1904 is the best and sblest report ever
issued from that ONCE. II gives ample
svideHce Of the greatest care and at
,.ntion and evidently has involved
vast amount Of labor on the part OF the
Commissioner. The report shows an
ercslIent condition Of affairs in this de-
D.r,meut. whose value TO the State as
a-ovsn beyond question in the vast
smount Of highly important and inter
ss.inc statistics presented, bearing 40
m every department OF labor and the
industrial interests OF the State. The
renort will be Invaluable as an aid to
Iogislatiou, upon matters pertaining to
labor and Industry, furnishing CON
,rebepsiye array OF facts intelligently
comDiled and arranged, without which
i,talIjqent conception Of the Inter
cats Involved csu be had. The volume
.Dnrsces tabulated statistics concern
inc Iaborsrs. railroads, coal mines, man
rfac,uripg snd mechanical industries
agriculture coal, coke and OIL building
aid loan associations, farms homes aud
~.o-,gaVes. aud the recent financial aod
i,dustrial depression, besides apprOpri-
"a remarks. suggestions and recon-
,nandatiops Of the Commissioners
,cor nsction with this subject the
- desires to call attention TO the
&c, scheme now on foot in the
I.-,,l.tprs to Gust the present able
OoDm,,sioner OF Labor, who is q Demo
orst updsr pretext of making improve
-. in the law, but really to create
tarr nav AID fat Offices for hungry Re
-,nl,c.ps 10 be appointed by the lsE's-
80 bosses through the Speaker OF
80 H,nse and President Of the Senate.
m. hin 70 thus raid the department
and create new spell has ALREADY oeen
,a,..drcsd and will doubtless berusaed

-, Aaa regardless Of the true inter
ssts Of tbs Labor Bureau.
