National Board of Arbitration.

Congress has taken up the question of
arbitrating labor troubles and bill
that has for its object the settlement Of
labor disputes without recourse to
strikes, through the medium of an
arbitration commission, has been intro
duced at Washington and reported fav-
orably from committee.
In every conflict between labor and
capital the great public are the greatest
sufferers. They are compelled to en-
dure Inconvenience and privatons and
in some cases have to face an actual
reign of terror because men who are
at the head of the conflicting forces
make pride or might their standard
and refuse to grant any concessions
that would lead to an amicable settle
ment of the matter at issue.
1t is expecting too much to say that
an arbitration commission, even though
it emanated from the head of the gov
ernment at Washington, would find 1t
possible to settle all conflicts between
labor, but there Is no doubt that the
influence of such board would be
beneficial
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-01-24

In this vicinity capital and labor are
happily united. Individual operators
are in most instances men who put the
teachings Of philanthropy in practice In
everyday life, and the heads of corpora
tions controlled by outside capital are
with few exceptions men who have the
interests of our city and it's laboring
classes at heart, and men in whom the
worl0ingman has implicit confidence. A
reduction in wage scale in this section
Is usually accepted philosophically by
the laborer who feels certain that an in
crease will be granted when business
will allow it. On the other hand the
grievance committee always receives
respectful hearing from the high Off
cials. A careful study of the capital
and labor situation in the Electric City
and suburbs would no doubt prove
beneficial to those who are directly and
indirectly responsible for the trouble at
Brooklyn.

mond remains true to his programme

violently oppose any effort to make all
other forms Of legislation subservient

MIR. GriggSby'S Bill.

There is no question that representa-
tive Griggsby, of Lancaster, is de-
serving of attention. In fact Mr..
Griggsby is entitled to become the all
absorbing topic of conversation; his
name should become household word.
Mr.. Griggsby has introduced a bill into
| the Legislature that provides penalties
for the adulteration of liquors. This
| measure if enacted and enforced would
give assurance to the average connois-
Pennsylvania one may indulge in spirit
ual refreshment and at the same time
| feel confident that any following eX-
hilaration is produced by first-class
| article, free from water or other i'm
purities so distasteful to adherants to
good old Kentucky customs.
1t has often been suggested that the
pay of our legislators at Harrisburg Is
not in accordance with service rem
dered: that representatives and sena-
| tors deserve to receive railroad passes
and other perquisites by the way of
| recompense for labor performed at $40
per day in the interest of the common
| wealth. Mr.. Griggsby has furnished
| an example of what a great mind can
occasionally create on nominal sala-
ry. In contemplating this measure it
Is easy to understand how men grow
gray under the, strain of legislative
work. Something should be done for
| Grggsby. If his scale of compensa-
ton cannot be increased, his notable
effort in the interest of thirsty humani-
ty should receive recognition in some
other way, Let not true craftsmanship
go unrewarded.

THE WIFE.

In youth he wrought. with eyes ablur,
Lorn-faced and long Of hair
In youth-in youth, he painted her
A sister of the air
Could clasp her not, but felt the stir
or pin!ons everywhere.
She lured his gaze, in braver days,
And tranced him sirenwise:
And he did paint her, through a haze
OF sullen paradise,
With scars of kisses OH her face,
And embers in her eyes.
And now-nor dream nor wild conceit-
Though faltering, as before
Through tears he paints her, as is meet
Tracing the dear face Ger
With lilied patience meek and sweet
As mother Mary wore

Power of the pulpit,

The power of the pulpit in politics
is recognized by the Minneauolis Tri-
bune which. in a recent issue, gives
forcible examples of the effacacy of the
spirit of Christianity in arousing public
sentiment against eveil. The Tribune
calls attention to the fact that the great
agitation in New York which led to the
downfall of Tammany and to puritca-
tion of the city government, a work led
by Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst, of the
Madison Square Presbyterian church,
and participated in by his leading fell
low clergymen, has awakened general
discussion as to how far secular topics
may be carried in the pulpit The con-
sensus Of intelligent opinion is that on
subjects vital to the well-being and
safety of the public, the church can
Motif faithful to duty-stand apart
from the world
Most thinking people agree with Rev.
Thomas Dixon, of New York, who
claims that things sacred and things
secular are one: that politics is the
vital science of law, that all law is di-
vine, and that the sphere Of the Chris
tian minister is that of the human
conscience.
Colonel Breckenridge owes his defeat
largely to the ministers, who through
their prayers and sermons reused the
moral sense of their hearers and urged
them to stand on the side of righteous
ness. The late Professor Swing did
good service both to God and man by
preaching against that great strike of
last summer, which paralyzed industry
ard wrought such havoc in our country.
In our civil war, the northern pulpit
gave forth no uncertain sound, and
must be counted as a potent force in
arousng the public conscience. and
hndling anew that spirit of patriotism
which united the citizens of the free
states as one man, in holy crusade
for the preservation of the Union.
Christianity is as much a matter of
living as of believing. st. James in
that one saying. Faith without works
is dead" struck the keynote for the
gospel ministry of all time. Gods COM
mand to His ancient prophet, "Cry
aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like
trumpet" to show the people their
transgressions and sins, is binding on
His ministers OF this latter day. When
questions hard for solution veX the
body polite, the pews have a right to
times of civil as well as religious peril,
It Is but natural to rely upon the watch
man stationed on the walls Of Zion to
sound the alarm.

To Project Organized Labor.

Pittsburg Times: 1.-THE bill laid before
the Pennsylvania Legislature to guarantee
the right to belong to labor organizations,
unCOvers just such difficulty as compul-
sorry arbitration does. 1t forbds on pen
atty of fine and Imprisonment, the dis
charge of u man from employment for be-
longing to one of these. Governor Hast
ings said in his inaugural address that
labor has the same right to organize that
capital has, and that is certainly true,
both in law and nature. But in law there
are other rights. Wherever organization
is prohibited II Is upon the conviction that
ii is hostile to the employer, and here the
question arises, can a corporation be COM
PEELED to keep in its employ person be-
lived to be inimical to 1t? The employer
insists that he be free to give employment
to men of his own choice, which the pro-
posed act would prohibit. On the other
hand, the acknowledgement of the alb
stract right is a mere mockery. Every
form of oppression would be entirely con-
sistent with II. A right is of no value
unless 1t can be exercised, and that OF or
gani2ation has no value II men can eXer-
else 1t only at the cost of thier livelihood.
The problem raised by the bill Is how to
reconcile the inherently irreconcilable
things. But this is not the first time such
q problem has been encountered. The
pathway of civilization Is strewn with the
like of 1t. The labor question Is ques-
tion of civilization, and 1t will have to be
settled as all the others were, or the chief
ones, by concession, by compromise.
What the compromise In this case will
finally be Is not clear. but one of some
kind 1t must be. No abstract right, vital
to the liberty and welfare of the indus
trial class, can remain In the abstract.
The fact that capital organizes for its pro-
lection Is itself the best of all guarantees
that in the end labor will be allowed just
as freely to organize for the same pur-
pose. That is bound to come, but mean
| time let those concerned possess their
souls In patience, remembering that fun
damental rights have always been hard TO
| eStabllsh.' "

Records vs.. Promises.

The Philadelphia Inquirer thus coolly
spikes the Pa,tt!sOn maycralty boom
which has recently been gathering wind
for its sails from the various Dem
ocratic organs of the quaker City and
Of ahe state alt large that are piping
ship:
Altogether too much talk is being made
about the ineligibility of Mr. Pattison as
Il candidate for mayor. Lawyers divide
on the subject, and only the supreme
court can decide. But that court Will
never be called upon to decide, hence all
this talk is waste of time. Mr.. Pattison
cannot be elected mayor of this town.
Mr.. Pattison is candidate, urged by his
friends as a man who would give us Il
non-partisan administration. We have
seen just what non-partisanship means
with Mr.. Pattison. All his appointments
as governor have been of the eXereme
partisan stripe. His chief adviser has
been the head of the Democratic machine.
That machine has been run to strengthen
the Democratic party, and particularly
that section OF it controlled absolutely
by Mr.. Pattson and Mr.. Harrity.
Mr.. Pattison accepts the nomination

all. what do they amount to? He has
twice been elected governor on nom
partisan basis, and he has proved his par
tisanship by the most partisan of appiont-
ments. Mr.. Pattison's non-partisan views
consist in handing the control of things
political over to Mr.. Harrity. Promises
are we'll enough in their way, but there
are the records, and the records make
of Mr.. Pattison the most pronounced OF
Democratic partisans.
We don't want Fox and NauX police
force in this city We don't want men
tried and tested in the fire department
and the police department turned out Of
office simply to make room for lot Of
Democratic heeers and greenhorns.
In short, we do not want partisan De-
mocracy in any form. Mr.. Pattison, par
tisan Democrat of the Harrity order, cam
not be elected mayor, hence what is the
use of getting excited over the question
of eligibility? Let Mr.. Pattison run by all
means. 1t will end him as a presidential
candidate.

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

The fact that people are already
talking Of the National Republican
Convention emphasizes the fact that
another Presidential election is hast
ening. For the greatest number it
cannot come too soon. The country
is tired of present conditions and
wants a change.
The discussion just at present,
however, is when and where to hold
the convention. Chicago has had it,
Minneapolis had it the last time, and
Saratoga, New York City and Phila-
delphia would like it. There is a
movement to take the convention to
the Pacific coast, and we notice that
Joe Manley, the representative on
the National Committee from Maine,
favors San Francisco. Here is his
plea
81 will say frankly that Ihave for
long time thought it would be a good
plan to hold the convention on the
Pacific coast, and | have accordingly
favored that plan. The Pacific states
have always been loyal to the Re-
publican party, and there are many
reasons why ] should favor San
Francisco as the city in which the
convention should be held. | do not,
of course, know the views of any Of
the other members of the National
Committee on this matter, and it will
of course, be settled by the vote of
the majority of the committee"
With the railroad facilities of the
present day, San Francisco is easily
accessible. Then, too, the Califor-
MANS would take off their coats and
spend their money to entertain Re-
publican convention. 1t would be a
great occasion. The committee will
meet in Washington in December to
decide the question of when and where
the convention shall be held.
