In LabOr's Interest.

Three prominent labor leaders. Sam

latiyc committee of that organization,
\. Feruseth and \. StraSser are at The
National Capitol working for the meas

federation. one of their bills. framed
by the SeamCn'S Union and indOrS2d
by Representative Mcguire. OF Califor-
mia. has been signed by the President.
Its effect is 10 abolish penal punish
mcnt of sailors for violating their civil
contracts with shippers. The Seamen's
Union has other bills upon which it
hopes 10 secure favorable action. de-
signed to abolish capital punishment IN

rationS and quarters provided fer sail
Ors. 1t contends that the Scamen ~
the American merchant marine are
treated with less consideration by tho
laws of the United States than are
those of any other civilized nation:
that their food and quarters are poorer,
puniShmcntS more severe and work
harder. and that >curyy is more preya-
lent among them.
Mr. GomperS is working particularly
for the bill 10 create Il commission To in

ful that il will become Il law. but finds
it unexpectedly difficult TO arouse the
interest of members To Il point which
will impel them To active work for the

special interest in the arbitration bill.
Mr. Gompcrs says. because it applies
10 the railroad men only. but he hopes

Whore They Get the Money,

TIL Republicans spent Il biz SUM of
mony i'm their campaign in this State
last fall. Where did they get it: ii
was charged that Pett'grew said he had
$4,000 and could get 100000 more If
he needed it. Where did he get ii?
Judge Howe told the writer two weeks
before election that he had been in
formed thar the Democrats had been
promised $4,000 of this Doodle. Where
did the money come from? The Repub-
lican State headquarters were ut Red
field, the home of State Treasurer TaY.
lOr. The secretary of the Republican
State Committee was Il partner of Tay
lOr i'm many of his business deals and
one of his bondsmen. The campaign
was virtually conducted from the
State treasury. Has this anything TO
do with Taylor's big shortage? Charley
Howard, one of Taylor's bOndsmen. is
now Speaker Of the House. Il good posi-

These questions come right home to
every American citizen. There is no
Godging the issue now. Every man
must say whether he * for the masses
of the people or for the classes of
piutocracy. and stand forth. If YOU

the people and believe the government
should be run in the interest of the
MASSES honestly. economically and in
accordance with common sense. then
sird on the armor of faith.
The crisis will be along sooner than
most people think. and while there is
time for calm reflection weigh matters
and make your decision. The gold
gamblers are determined To force the
issue. They propose to place upon the
people yoke of bondage. and it is for
the people To say whether they will
wear it or not. There is no hope at

The rumor that President Crespo had
decided to treat England's demand for
PREPARATION for injuries to one Of her SUBJ
iects as entirely distinct from and dis
connected with the boundary question is
now denied; and the exact opposite is
said to be the fact, namely, that Crespo
will take the ground that it is SO closely
connected with the territorial question
thai its settlement must follow that OF
the latter, and furthermore, it is alleged
that he has taken this position by advice
of Secretary Olney. If this latter report
turns out to be true, matters will come
to head very soon, for England has for
mulated what is said to amount to an
ultimatum In the case of her injured SUBJ
jsct and its rejection would compel her to
act or back down.

For several months now the Powers have
reaching distance of Constantinople, and
their ambassadors have been in almost
continuous consultation about affairs i'll
the East. According to Lord Salisbury
for the most of this time at least they
have been in complete accord. Yet it is
that has been accomplished in the way
OF stopping the butohery that has been
going on all this time in Armenia. They
are said to have secured a promise from
the Sulta that he would introduce oer-
tain reforms in his Asiatio dominions,
but the prom Use has not been fulfilled.
and apparently right before their face and
eyes the Turkish governors are carrying
out "a deliberately formed plan of xtermi-
mating all the Christians in their provinces.
Still the Powers do nothing but parley
with the Porte for privileges that are Of
SO little real conseq uence that they do
not use them when they are granted. APP
parently the policy that they have adopt
ed, and in which they are in complete
accord" is that they shall do nothing
more than make all occasional harmless
demonstration, and suffer the Turkish
method of pacification by wholesale mum
bers to go on until it is fully completed
England is the natural protector of these
Armenian Christians but she dares do
nothing, partly from fear Of Russia and
partly from fear of her Mussulman sub
jects in India. Russia, which cares little
about Armenia, but much about Con-
stantinople, is not averse to seeing the dis
turbances continue and increase in the
hope that something may turn up to en-
able her to secure the prize that she has
been after hundred years. OF course
neither France nor Austria is powerful
enough to take the initiative if they were
disposed to, and they wait for England
or Russia to move. Besides these consid-
erations, which are holding them back,
there is the Danger of general European
conflict being precipitated by active in
reference in Turkey, from which they
all shrink

pardon almost anything where saw

of this feeling TO mere party. I cannot
concur IN sending abroad a public agent
who has not conceptions so large and
liberal as TO feel that, in the presence s*of
foreign courts, amidst the monarchs Of
Europe, he is to stand up for his country,
and his whole country; that no jot moi
little of her honor is to come to harm in

to reproach either. his government nor bis

no heart in his bosom but an American

words his name would not now be before

have stood infinitely higher in the estl

fact he is getting very little consolation
from the English press which does not
