Senators PETER and Butler to-
gether with twenty nine other senator's
have served notice on the financial
committee that no tariff legislation
could be passed at this session of
congress that did not carry with it a
clause providingfor an adequate duty
on wool. This will no doubt please
the farmers who raise sheep although
it is quite probable that no tariff
legislation will be enacted this year
There are but two or three items in
the whole category of agricultural
articles upon which a tariff can be
placed that will be of any benefit to
farmers. OF these wool is the most
important as large quantities are
shipped in every year. The former
tariff was ten cents per pound and
wool then sold for twenty to twenty
two cents while it sells for ten to
twelve cents since it was placed on
the free list.

Cleveland appears to be in no hurry
to recognize the belligerency OF the
Cubans. Notwithst aiding that the
citizens of the whole county, through
their representatives, have so de
clared. The president claims that
the time is not yet at hand for such a
recognition. 1t is becoming a serious
question with the people of this
country and should the Americans
captured on board the Competitor be
executed by the butcher Weyler, the
president could lily afford to follow
out his present program of inaction.
We can see Arme mans across the sea
slaughtered by the thousands and
Cuban patriots fall beneath the
sword of the Spanish, but Americans
will not see Americans shot down by
\ Ter without something more than
mud protest.

The latest reports are to the effect
that 1.-THE administration is fully
determined that the Americans who
were sentenced to death by court
martial in Cuba, and whom the
Spanish government has agreed to
give another trial before civil
tribunal, shall not be executed, and
Spain has been so notified. Spain is
not likely to do anything to offend
the administration, as it knows that
President Cleveland in delaying
recognition of Cuban belligerency is
acting directly contrary to the
sentiment of the United States"

THE boycott in Milwaukee has assumed
of the hands of the strikers and has be-
come craze among businessmen. Many
advertise by means Of communications to
labor papers that they are boycotting the
street railway, hoping thereby to gain
business. Stores refuse to sell supplies
20 the railway company because of threats
by their patrons to discontinue trading
with them, should they do so. People
having an itch for Office have joined the
army of Boycott and have ostentatIously
forbidden their children To patronize the
street cars. The anti-Cathohc demon
STATIONS, so graphically described by
Charles Dickens in Barnaby Ridge, were
no more wild. unreasoning or demonlac
than isthU boycott which now hasMiIwau-
kee IN its grip. Busine ssmen glory IN it,
advocate 1t or yield suplrley tot. There
is no longer a strike nor are the strikers
active in enforcing orders not to trade
with this man or that. 1t has become a
popular craZf,-an epidemic which could
prevail IN no other city than Milwaukee,
The boycott 10 Away a dangerous
weapon. No one could blame the strikers
for refusal to patronize the railroad COM
pany, though by their willingness to re-
turn to work on terms identical with
those which they claim justified the
strike, prove conclusively that the strike
was either Ill-auvised or that there existed
no occasion for it. The men are not to
blame in holding together. But they are
to blame in surrenderlrg their individual
rights to lot of labor agitators who are
more exacting in their demands, more
unyleldlng III their purpose and more
tyrannous IN their assertion of authority
than the greatest monopoly which has
existence. The laborers are boycotted
by those who pretend TO be conservators
OF their rights. Not a striking motor
man or conductor has the personal
right ito go back to his work should
he desire TO do so. He has no personal
liberty. He is not recognized as an
individual. He receives no sympathy
unless he is willing 10 lose his identi-
ty IN an organization under the despotic
sway of so-called leaders, who have no

The chief evil effects Of such strike
as that of Milwaukee has been indulglng
in, are not OF a financial character. Busi
ness cannot be injured permanently by a
strike The most serious and lasting eff
fects are to the young people. There is
no parent OF intelligence and principle
who would encourage his child IN the use
of vile epithets. But the children were
an important factor in the strike and
they have added the word "6cab" to their
vocabulary. They have been taught
with prOprlety be applied to those who
displease us. No parent would teach bis
child that wantOn destruction of property
| is defenslble. But the boys, many of
| whom We're truants from school, were led
| to believe 1t praiseworthy, or, at least,
not reprehensible to break car windows
There is no parent who would teach his
child the trade of the train wrecker. But
tram wrecking Is accomplished by placing
instructions upon the track. The parties
| who placed large rocks on the tracks OF
the street railway cannot severely con-
denim the murderers vino wrecked tram
at Waldo last Friday with serious loss OF
life.
Young people are initiative. What
older people do with approval they ac-
cept as proper. The word "scab" is not
choice one even for the ignorant to use
| 1t is foul IN the mouth of child. When
IN addition its purpose is to provoke OF
rldlcule its use is most reprehensible
| The child Is the father of the man an
care should be taken that good principles
are inculcated.
