Tho supreme court has taken most
extraordinary course In calling upon
number Of lawyers to express their views
upon q legal question raised in . civil
case. II In true that the question IL one
OF great Importance. but the supreme court
L. supposed to be composed Of the most
eminent legal talent In the state. and they
are az well able to determine the law as
any man OF the bench. The law In ques-
ton In not such an innovation az would
seem to justify the very unusual course
It has taken, and TO sci up . very ques-
tionable precedent Whether the attorneys
have set forth all the authorities or not.
or whether the briefs are az copious as
they might be, the principle involved is
not remote or in doubt. The question IL.

Society must uphold the doctrine
that IL . man IN willing to work ne
shall have the opportunity to work If
that can be secured. The right Of dis
charge must. OF course, always be main
tained by the employers: but the act
which prevents . man getting employ
ment elsewhere II one which makes =
vagrant or . thief, and IL liz therefore
inin,icai 20 the welfare Of the common
wealth.
There are legal phases OF the Ques-
ton which must be considered but they
must be considered also by employees, as
well as by employers. In other words.
what is sauce for the goose Is sauce
for the gander II Il is conspiracy for
employers To unite 10 keep a man out
Of employment. IL IL conspiracy for men
10 unite TO prevent the sale Of any arti-
Gle manufactured by an employer. It
IL equally conspiracy for q number Of
men TO band themselves together and
say that any other man who does not
govern himself as they do shall find no
employment unae. this flag
The fact Is that blackIisting. boycott
ting and humping men because they
do not belong TO a union. are all bar
barous methods OF dealing with indus
trial troubles. The solution Of the diff
Guilty has not yet been discovered. The
conditions are such that workingmen
must unite to protect their own inter
ests. and probably the man who refuses
TO enter into that compact is an enemy
of his kind. The man who refuses to
keep up his prices or TO be governed by
the rules of union Is condemned. The
employer who refuses to enter into a
similar compact with other employers
in trust to keep up prices is hailed as
an independent and righteous man.
There Is something illogical In this The
principle is the same. and the result
should be the same.
As organized capital is more powerful
than organized labor 1t is well that the
law should make the first concession
come from capital. IL railroads and
other employers are forbidden TO black
list. they will find a more rational and
just means Of dealing with disputes be-
tween themselves and their employees.
When they manifest a disposition to
settle difference fairly. public sympa-
thy will be with them and against
arbitrary acts on the part OF labor
unions. which will In turn have to yield
to the demand for reasonable action on
their part.
When employers find that blacklist
ing brings risk of heavy damages,
and labor unions realize that the strike
Is not the wisest way to settle a dis
pute. We shall have entered upon a new
era In the adjustment of trouble be-
tween labor and capital.

II has been ascertained that one Of the
men who came TO Seattle Sunday from
Dawson brought drafts and certificates Of
deposit representing in round figures $780,
$50. A small part Of 1t only was his own;
but he had been made the agent by whom
various Kiondike miners sent part of their
wealth to the United States. 1t has been
stated that there is no bank and no bank

At q recent meeting Of the Indiana
Bankers Association at Indianapolis,
Mortimer lowering, OF Lafayette. rscog-
mixed as one Of the best financiers in In
diana, made an address on postal savings
banks, in which he said: THE govern
ment Is in . position to manage this thing
through Its present postofiice system. and
viii scarcely increase the expenses OF
that department, while 1t win enhance the
accumulated wealth OF the people
throughout the whole United States. 1t
was thought that building and loan as
sociations would care for the savings Of
the masses, but people have become sus-
picious OF them. II Is well known that
lawyers In Indiana are making az much
as $1,000 q year out Of these institutions,
and officers are making much money out
OF them. We all know that trust COM
pan!es are not organized as eleemosynary
institutions. We want q system Of saw
ings banks that are for the poor people.
What greater pride could a man have
than to think himself depositor Of the
United States?"

The President Knows BETTER.

Those congressman who are returning
to Washington with stories that the Re-
publican losses in the recent election were
caused by President Mckiniey's adher-
ence to civil service reform know better
and they know that the president must
know better. IL he is not regarded by
them as fool. They know and the
president knows that what offices he has
already filed have disappointed twenty
men where one was satisfied: and that il
the number of offices filled had been
doubled sor quadrupled the number of dis
satisfied voters would have been increased
proportionately. 1t is a rule which every
administration learns to its cost that in
the distribution of the spoils the dis
gruntled within the party are multiplied
in geometrical ratio. while the satisfied
increase only in arithmetical ratio.
