WAITING TO SEE.

The Madrid order that postpones the
execution of the Americans who were
convicted of piracy by the Cuban authori-
ties for being on the Competitor does not
necessarily mean that they will be taken
out and shot to death later on. 1t simply
means that if the Washington Govern
ment does not tell Spain in so many words
TO turn them loose or get ready to fight
the United States, the Spanish Minister of
War and Marine will find that the pro-
ceedings Of the court martial were regular
and order General Weyler to go on with
the ORIGINAL programme. Hence the lives
of the men under conviction hang upon a
thread, both ends of which are held by
President Cleveland.
The Competitor is the first privateer, so
called, that the Cuban authorities have
caught, and since the capturing party
made great haste to destroy the ships
papers, it is possible that she was not en-
gagged at all in carrying munitions of war
to the rebels. But whether she was or
not, the Spanish Government should be
iven to understand that the execution of
t he three Americans now under sentence
of death for being on board the COMPETE
tor would be Immediately followed by the
landing of United States soldiers upon the
island of Cuba.
1t is little humiliating to the pride of
our people that SPANS prompt action in
ordering the postponement of the execu-
ton was more because British subjects
life is involved than because of any action
on the part of this Government, and this,
too In the face of the fact that both houses
of Congress have already passed resolu-
ton recomm ending the recognition of
Cuban belligerency. But then Congress
is Republican body and the executive
end of the Government is Democratic.

NEW LABOR FEDERATION

The federation of the six leading orders
Of railway employees is significant, the
more so because the resolution which
brings these great unions together refuses
to identify the organization with The
American Railway Union. 1t is not un-
derstood that there is or will be purpose to
antagonize the effort OF the Railway Union
to secure more satisfactory relations be-
tween employer and employee, but to de-
mand arbitration instead of resorting to
strikes when employers refuse to do full
justice to their employees. 1t is expected
that other labor organizations will follow
the lead of this federation of railway en-
ployes and rely upon the sense of Justice
of employers and public sentiment TO ad-
vance their interests, and resort to the he
roic remedy, the strike, only after every
other means and measure has been entirely
exhausted.
The numerical and moral strength of
this new federation of labor unions will be
better appreciated when it is known that
it includes the conductors, the trainmen.
the engineers, the firemen, the selegra pliers
and the swiIchmen. Undoubtedly it will
be the most powerful labor organization in
the world, both as to numbers and for in
fuence for good, when its machinery is in
full operation. The leaders in this move
ment do not pretend to say this or any
other labor organization could always
avoid the strike remedy for when the issue
between employer and employe is mar
rowed down to where labor must either
maintain or abandon the underlying prin-

eli ches the saddle in place, Is woven OF hair

fully eight inches broad. with a tass e hanging
at its middle. The sadd c, the bride and all
its appointments are marvels OF beauty. The
reins, martingele and whip are composed of
sold silver in woven strands. The headstall is
covered with luted silver, with large engraved
silver rosettes at the sides with decorations
of flowers and heads of wheat, with an elabo-
rate nose piece with silver engraving. The
side pieces are of silver, massive and ornate,
with a silver chain under the horses jaw.
The bride, reins and accessories weigh about
twelve pounds and are worth $3.50. The sad

from $1,000 to $500. Mr.. Thompson is very
proud of the outfit. The horse is signally gen.
tie and kind OF disposition.

A STRONG COMMITTEE.

The personnel of the new executive com.
mittee of the Republican State Central
Committee guarantees not only an active
campaign in California, but sweeping
| victory for t. e State and National tickets.
The committee is composed of workers in
whose Judgment and ability the rank and
| file have full confidence. Nothing so slim
ulates party to enthusiastic participa-
| ton In campaign work as assurance that
the leaders know their business, and that
they nay be relied upon to perform to
completeness every duty that is imposed
upon them. In that respect the party s
organization is now amply fortified at
every point.
The admitted fact, too, that the new
| committee fully represents the whole
party and will have no difficulty in har-
monizing the several factions is matter
Tor sincere congratulation, for the very
essence of political party's strength is in
oneness of purpose in winning victory over
the enemy. The welfare of the party
should be the first consideration of
the leaders, and when it is impressed
upon the minds of the rank and
file that the executive head of the party
is working for the promotion of the party's
best interests on principle, there should
be no fear of apathy or lukewarmness
anywhere, and it is because those essen
tial qualities of true leadership are pos
sessed to conspicuous degree in the new
committee as whole and as individuals
The CALL most heartily congratulates the
party.
But the executive committee can only
devise, plan and lay out the work of the
campaign. That it will do that thoroughly
and well there is no doubt whatever, but
the final victory rests with the rank and
flle. The rank and file must execute in
detail the plans of the committee, and in
proportion as that is done will victory be
assured. 1t will not do for the rank and
file TO content themselves with simply a
victory in November 1t must be victory
SO oyerwhelming to the Democracy that not
only will IL not soon rally for another trial
but that the moral effect of such pound
ing may be felt by Republi cans in all the
States, and thereby be encouraged and
strengthened TO resolve that never again
shall the commerce and the industries OF
the country be put in jeopardy by Demo-
cratic administration.

cipIe and basis of the rights of labor, it is
then unavoidable.
As capital grows less greedy, and labor
becomes more thoughtful, cause for revolt,
| the one against unwarranted aggressive
ness on the part of the other, obtains less
| and less The natural relation between
employer and employe is becoming better
understood. The employer is be-inning
to understand that faithful and enthusiast
tic interest in the work of securing success
for his enterprise comes of the recog-
milton of the importance of the skill of
his employer to him; that it has rights
| which cannot be denied or trampled upon
without the injurious consequences of
such attacks upon it being reflected in The
| quality as well as in the quantity OF the
product OF his enterprise. He is beginning
to see that the incentive to faithfulness OF
service is recognition of the natural rela-
ton between employer and employee,
which is mutual effort to secure the best
possible results that the condition of all
directly concerned may go from good to
better and to best
1t is to secure such relation between
| employer and employee that these six
powerful railway labor unions have united
in one federation, and the almost bound
less ramifications in the public transpor-
tation service of the country, together with
the great conservatism of the organization
will, no doubt, exert SO niue influence for
good in the labor world that both en-
ployer and employee will be benefited In
every way. At the very outset the feder-
alton, in insisting that the rights OF its
member shall be re spected by the railway
companies, freely admits that the railway
companies have rights which members OF
the federation are bound to respect, and
hence, generally speaking. no differences
would be likely to arise which could not
be amicably adjusted and harmonized by
arbitration. This is long step in the
direction of RELOCATING labor strik es very
