70 Make Local Option" Success.

Biblical Recorder.
There has been complaint that slocal
option" elections on the liquor question
have awaited little, as the liquor men
can usually, with the money at their
command, carry the election. It is
certainly right in principle that the
will OF the people should govern, and
that the people of locality, as rule,
should decide, as to matters of local
policy. The error, it seems to me, is
in the application. In the matter of
the sale of liquor the people most in
terested, and whose welfare is most at
tected by the decision OF the question,
are not the men, but to far greater
extent the women. To omit them, in
ascertaining the Will of the people of
any locality upon this question, is
mockery. If the "local option" law as
to the sale of liquor were amended so
as to permit all persons, twenty-one
years OF age, to vote upon such local
issue it would be the simplest and
sheerest justice, and few can doubt the
result.
1 am not advocating "Woman's Suf-
frage" by any means. That is cues
ton the future must solye. There is
no demand for it in North Carolina
now. and women could not be made
electors In political matters, at least
not voters for offices named in the Con-
stitution, without a Constitutional
amendment, since the electors for such
offices must be "male persons" But
tor local matters, RENTED by the Leg
islature, to the decision of the people
OF localities, such as the election of
school committees, the vote of addi-
t1onal taxation for school purposes.
local option on the sale OF LIQUOR and
the like, it is clearly competent to per-
NIT the women to vote on these oues-
tions of education and prohibition,
which possess more interest for them
than for the men. Accordingly, in
thirty -eight States of the Union, in
GLIDING such conservative States as
Massachusetts, New YORK and the like.
women (under Constitutional pro-
visions as to electors similar to ours)
IRE permitted to vote, and do vote, on
all school questions, and in some, 1
believe, on questions of local prohibi-
ion. In only four States are women
electors for political Offices, and on
political questions, thus showing the
vide divergence OF the two matters.
1t the Legislature would amend the
chool law Gas thirty-eight States have
lone) to permit women to vote for
chool committeeman and on local
chool questions, and amend the "local
'ption liquor law" to permit women to
ote on that, we would have truer ex-
'ression OF the will of the people, and
n increased interest would be shown
n both subjects. It would be lust
eform.
There is only one argument against
1t is new in North Carolina. And
ct every reform for the betterment of
he condition of the people was new at
ome time. ii the Legislature is not ,
llllng to adopt this change generally,
hey might try it in few localities az
ley did the Waynesville Dispensary
w, and repeal it two years hence if
OF satisfactory.

The Cost Of Labor Strikes.
The ARENA.

The Arena.
In the railway strike of 1877 the loss
to property and business inflicted by
the mob at Pittsburg alone is estimated
at $5,OOO,OOO, and the county of Ale
gheny was compelled to pay 2,7S7 COO
OF the loss sustained during the Pitts
burg riots. The Chicago strike cost
the railways $5,35S, 900, and the en-
ployes $4,000, total of 81, OS5, 900
not including the loss to the Pull
man Company. The National Com
mission says that "beyond these
amounts very great losses, widely dis
trlbuted, were incidentally suffered
throughout the country" The Califor-
MIA fruit growers, for example, lost $50,
GOO day. The total loss which result
ed from that one strike, in all probable
lty, exceeded 100000. The tele-
graph strike of 1868 cost the companies
$9O9, 600, and the men $25O,OOO. Tie
railway strike on the "GouId Systemn
in 1886 cost the strikers $500, 900, those
thrown out of employment by their ac-
ton $500, 600, and the railroads So. $50
600
For the strikes that occurred from
1881 to 1886, inclusive, the wage loss
by employees is estimated by the Unit
ed States Commissioner of labor at |
FOL, Sl4,O 600, and the employers losses
are estimated by the same authority |
at $SO,7Ol GOO. And the trouble is not
growing less as the years go by. From
l74l to 1880, inclusive, there we're 1.
a9l strikes and lockouts while for six
years ending Dec. 81, 1886, the num-
Der OF strikes alone was 3,9O2.-forty
year for the first period, and over six
hundred and fifty year for the second.
Making all due allowance for fuller re-
porting of strikes in the latter period
The contrast is still startling one.
surely it is cheaper as well ais more
ust to settle by court than by strike.
At present we pay for the strike first.
len we pay for commission to exam
ne into its causes and results; let us
lave the inquiry first, and save the ex-
,ense of the strike.
