For Compulsory Arbitration.
The failure of the effort to arbitrate
the dockmen's and lightermen's strike
at Hamburg is the effect of cause that
will prevent arbitration of all such dis
putes until arbitration is made COM
pulsory.
Compulsory arbitration does not mean
that findings of the arbitration board
shall be binding upon either party, says
the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. The chief
value of an arbitration board, in this
country at least, must be that of q court
of record in which all the evidence can
be taken, the causes of difference set
out and an unbiased statement of the
case had. Under such q showing pub
right conclusion, and that conclusion
once reached neither party to the dis
pute could afford to stand out against IT.
One reason why labor is more friend
Nv to arbitration than capital is that
without it the first public Inconvenience
resulting from a strike leads to public
indignation against the Immediate
cause Of the Inconvenience, which is,
naturally and inevitably, the working
man, either resisting a reduction of
wages or insisting upon better wages
than he is getting.
What labor needs is a speedy means
of getting the issue and the evidence OF
such controversies before the people
Arbitration boards meet this necessity.

BRYANT MoIdinp Machine.

At the Bryant iron works on Niagara
street an exhibition was given OF the
Bryant molding machine, a device as
near human as anything can be, says
the Buffalo Inquirer 1t does the work
of a human being better than the hui
man being could possibly do it, and
with rapidity that is marvellous. The
machine was molding radiators when
the exhibition was given. Under the
old system of molding a first-claSs
molder, skilled in his trade, could mold,
say. thirty of these castings in Il day.
With the aid Of this machine ten un-
skilled men can mold $500 in ten hours.
SO it will be seen that the saving is al
most incomprehensible. The machine
prepares the sand measures it, delivers
it, the sand is rammed, tamped, rolled
and the moldsk are delivered in perfect
form as rapidly a. two men carry them
away from the wonderful machine.
This machine is the invention OF Orrin
Bryant, of Buffalo, for some years with
the Pierce Steam Heating Companys
plant, now an American Radiator Com
panyS connection, and who two years
ago associated himself with number
Of Buffalo gentlemen to develop his
idea.
The Queen City Radiator Company
was organized and the name was after
ward changed to the Bryant Iron
Works Company. Patents for this ma
chine have been obtained in the United
States, Canada, Great Britain, Ger
many, France, Belgium, Austria and
Russia.

MUST CARRY NEW YORK.

Speaking of Mr.. Justice Parker as
a candidate, he said: THE Democratic
party has got to realize that success is
extremely doubtful, if not impossible,
unless we can carry the State of New
York. Justice Parker has demonstrated
that he can carry that State. He has
carried it this fall by larger majority
than has any Democrat received since
the Folger campaign. He is a man of
high attachments, is popular in the
State and can demand the loyal sup
port of the entire Democracy of New
York. / think that the New York dele
CATION to the next Democratic national
convention will go as unit to present
the name of Justice Parker. This will
not be ON account of any feeling of an
tagonism toward Mr.. Bryan, but the
name of Justice Parker will be present
ed on the ground that he can carry the
State of New York, which we deem nee
essary to success, while Mr.. Bryan can
not. There is no reason why Justice
Parker, as the Democratic nominee,
should not have the same strength in
the Democratic party outside of New
York that Mr.. Bryan would have. At
all events, he should be able to carry
any State that the party could carry
with any candidate, and this, with the
addition of New York, would make his
election certain.
IN RIVALRY WITH BRYAN.
"Justice Parker, as we'll as Tammany,
supported Bryan Loyalty, and if Parker
! is a candidate before the convention
he will appear in rivalry with, but not
in antagonism to, Bryan. Justice Par
ker's record is not assailable by any
| Democrat, either ON account of his
standing in the party or lack of loyalty
| to any of it's candidates. After he was
| appointed by Mr.. Hill to the unexpired
| term Of Judge Westbrooke he was elect
ed in the Republican district for the new
| term of fourteen years. In the first
campaign of Hill for Governor. Of New
| York Parker was chairman of the Dem
| ocratic committee. During Cleveland
| first administra ton he was rendered and
| declined the position which was after
ward occupied by Adlai e. Stevenson
| He was also urged to be a candidate fol
| the United States Senate when in 1890
| the Democrats had control of the New
| York Legislature, but declined, and Sen.
a tor Hill was then elected
1T would be worse than folly for the
Democratic party to nominate for the
| presidency a man who cannot carry the
State of New York. Parker, we know
surely can carry the State, and his
availability as presidential candidate
ought to he recognized by Democrats

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
If This is Prosperity, II is of Quee

From the Boston Herald.l

AT the meeting of the Home Market
| Club this evening, will Congressman

answer the following questions? vii
| they answer them without fling or Jest
without claiming that they are free trade
arguments which they are not? VIII
they answer them as vital questions
bearing upon the welfare of every man
woman and child of this country? Fail
ing to answer them will they give a
valid reason for not touching them?
If we. are in the midst of prosperity
why is it that the cost of living has
been so greatly increased?
Why are all the prime necessaries OF
life and the principal staples so much
higher than a year ago?
Flour is fully So per cent higher than
at the lowest point year ago. Corn Is
8 to 10 per cent higher. Granulated
sugar is over II per cent higher. Mo-
lasses is Z per cent to per cent higher.
Pork is over 80 1-3 per cent higher.
Mutton is over % per cent higher.
Potatoes are over 100 per cent higher.
Apples are more than 100 per cent
higher.
Butter is more than Is per cent high
er. Eggs are over 10 per cent higher.
Wool is from so per cent to 100 per
cent higher, and the trade in wooden
goods is struggling to get the prices of
wooden cloths up to a par with wool.
who is to pay for this increased cost of
wooden cloths?
Hides are 40 per cent higher, and
boot and shoe manufacturers are try
ing hard to get this. increased cost ont
of boots and shoes. Is this Of supreme
benefit to the great majority?
If we are extremely prosperous and
daily growing more so. how does it hap
pen that printing cloths, involving one
of out. greatest manufacturing indus

| ever recorded, viz, 2 5-16 cents?
How does it happen that he cotton
| market, has continued to sag if home
market only is desirable? And how does
| 1T happen that the cotton people are set
ting up the argument that the low price
of cotton is largely due to the fact that
Europe has not been buying freely?
If a home market is the key note tc
prosperity, how does it happen that al
the good that has come to Inc farmers
of the West from higher wheat Is due
to the tremendous export trade of the
past four or five months?

BOOM FOR PARKER
T AMMANY'S JUSTICE TO BE PRESENTED
ASA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE.
Bryan Could Not Garry New York, and That
is Essential to Democratic
Success
washington Post.)

The success of Tammany in New York
at the recent election is to be followed
by an attempt to displace Mr.. Bryan as
the leader of the Democratic national
party and to make a New York man the
next Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent. The man whom Tammany and
Mr.. Hill intend to boom is Justice Al
ton d. Parker. The fact that Justice
Parker as the recent election overcame
McI&inley's majority Of 356,00O and
carried the State of New York by &C.,
600 will be urged as a reason why the
Democratic party should look upon him
as the most available candidate for the
presidency.

of Tammany Hall who is friend of

ing the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver and
Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

in effect giving Spain an ultimatum to end
the war in Cuba in thirty days or expect
interference on the part of the United
States. That any such abrupt declaration
was made is not believed. 1t is not the
Mckinley way of doing things. 1t is en-
tirely probable, however, that Gen. Wood
ford, acting under instructions, represent
ed to the Spanish minister in courteous
and diplomatic terms the appreciation by
the United States of the seriousness of the
situation which exists in Cuba, the ruin
and desoation which are being wrought
in the island, the inhumanity of the meth
ods employed, the improbability that Spain
can subdue the rebellion, and the pecu-
