THE MATURER JUDGMENT.

1t has been given out that because of a
trouble between a labor union in Cleve-
land and those who had employed them,
vised organized labor to vote for Bryan.
The Central Labor Union, a few evenings
ago, considered the proposition of having
its official organ discuss the silver ques-
ton from an economic standpoint. After
a full discussion a motion to that effect
was voted down. This action would indi-
cate that the report is without foundation.
It appears from the report of the meet
ing of the Central Labor Union Of Cleve-
land at which this action was taken that
the leading members declared against the
free silver project. The Cleveland Leader
gives the remarks of Robert Bandlow rela-
tive to the free coinage of silver, which
were in part as follows:
Some of the delegates who are too lazy
to work get in with a lot of ward polltl-
clans and then want to prostitute the
cussion of the free coinage of silver in
any Of its phases in the official organ OF
this body would be granting special priv
ileges to a certain class OF monopolistic
robbers, and for my part l don't propose
to lend myself to the robbery of the work
ingmen by such a proceeding, even If the
$1,000
erS.
Another member whose name is given ia
vored full discussion of the silver question
in the official paper, while declaring
against free coinage himself. He said:
For my own part, I don't believe that
the free coinage of silver would be the
benefit to the workingmen that some of

ly believe that,free coinage Woulo De d
good thing for them: l think they are mis-
taken, of course, but what | desired was
a series of articles on the subject In a Ia
Dor newspaper, where 1t would be sure 70
reach the men for whom it was intended;
Our editor should take the question and
show up the strong points of free silver
and also the weak ones.
The editor Of the. official organ of the
union spoke on the proposition as follows:
I nave already, for the good of the work
ingmen of the city, tried to show that free
coinage of silver would not benefit the
w-orkingmen. If this motion prevails. and
l am asked to write a series of articles on
the silver question, l will again tell the
truth as I see it, which is that the free
tr1e ffhat the Central Labor Union some
months ago adopted a resolution declaring
for the free coinage OF silver without as
cussion, but if the question had been dlS-
cussed L doubt if it would have passed.
The fact that, after such a full discus
sion. the proposition to open the official
organ to the advocacy of the free coinage
of silver was voted down, goes to show
that on more mature dellberatlon LABOR
organizations will not, as the editor of the
Cleveland labor paper declares, commit
themselves to the silver heresy.
wage workers need is a wider field for
employment, not an exchange of the sure
ly best dollar for one which, when it
stands on it's own merit, is the dollar of
half the purchase power of the one with
which they are now paid.

THE GAME.

An interview with the Sultan is reported,
in which he declared that any Turkish
officer convicted of failure to do his duty
during the recent Armenian massacres
would be punished and that the govern
ment would, as soon as possible, comply
with the pledges contained in the treaty OF
Berlin and introduce needed reforms. Such
promises as these ought to make all Eu-
rope laugh. The Sultan has been feeding
the great powers on that kind of
wind for so long that they have become
threadbare. Turkish diplomacy consists in
ter un-scrupulousness and diabolical cruel
ty. During all the years that the Sultan
has been reiterating these promises of re-
form the massacres and prosecutions of
Christians have gone on with systematic
precision and most bloody results. When
things get too hot they are suspended for
a time. but they are always resumed again.
# will be SO now. No Turkish officer will
ever be punished for failing to prevent the
massacres. 1t is more likely they will be
rewarded or promoted for winking at or
encouraging them. The promised reforms
will not be made The Sultan will %reiter-
ate these empty promises and play with
the powers until they are lulleo to sleep
again, and then the massacres will be re-
newed. While the powers may think they
are coercing him, he knows he is fooling
the. powers.

The Princess Helene of Montenegro has
lately written a poem which closes with
these amorouS lines:
Then she saw what was to her most beau
tiful,
She saw the portrait of the Loved One,
Whom she pressed to heart
She saw the portrait of the Loved One,
Who reigned in her soul.
She saw the portrait of the Loved One,
Whose love responded to her love.
The Princess, who is said to be a very
accomplished and handsome woman of
somewhat Amazonian proportions, is an
nounced as the fiancee of the future King
of Italy. Inasmuch as this Prince is de-
scribed as a sickly little man, eleven inches
less in height than she, and with a repel-
liant manner, the wonder will arise whether
Helene's Loved One is identical with her
betrothed or whether the lady in writing
the verses was talking at him through her
royal hat. 1t is nobody's business, to be
sure, but if princesses will leave the du-
ties they were born to and write poetry
other folks will take the liberty to COM
wont

CUBA RATHER THAN ARMENIA.

1t has been more than suggested in GER
tain quarters that an organized effort
should be made to bring the Armenians in
Turkey TO this country as q body. Fortu-
nately, our immigration laws stand in the
way of such a project. Fortunately, it may
be said, because there is no place in this
country for tens of thousands of people
who cannot be self-supporting. and who.
as far as they can be -self-supporting. must
add to the already crowded ranks of those
who do common labor. We have too many
of the very poor of European countries who
can force a better class of labor in the
large cities out of employment simply be-
cause they are accustomed to what, from
our conception of living, is the poverty of
squalor.
Some one may ask if this policy of ex-
clusion is in accordance with the senti-
ment that this country is the home of the
oppressed. No: we nave passed that period.
We nave come to the conclusion that the
first duty of this government is to protect
those who are already here against
wretched poverty by refusing to take from
the old world its wretched and helpless
classes. Our first duty is to those who

In one of his speeches on Friday, Mr..
Bryan assailed what he was pleased to call
government by injunction. Just now his
masters, the silver mine owners at Lead
vile, have improved upon that method.
They have demanded of the free-siiver-
coinage Governor of Colorado that he send
troops to subdue those members of a labor
union who are having a conflict with the
mine owners, who are bearing the expense
of Bryan's trains. over a reduction of wages.
The Governor has responded, and martial
law has been declared, under which an Of
fender may be arrested and sent to Jail
without trial. Martial law, as a summary
affair, is considerably more drastic than
the Injunction.
