How to Help the Label.

Here's the way the printers work the
label in Kansas City now. A card is
handed to the proprietor of store with
this on one side of the card:
Reciprocity is the life of trade. l
have just purchased goods of you;
should you wish to reciprocate for the
same and secure my future patronage,
please insist upon having the union
label on all your printing. Your print
err can furnish this without additional
COST"
On the other side of the card is:
What the union label stands for:
1. Home industry. 2. The protection
of the interests of labor. 8. The pro-
lection of just and honorable employ
ers from competition by 'cheap-labor'
rivals. 4. The encouragement of the
principle and practice of arbitration.
5. Fair wages for the laborer and bet
ter trade conditions; guarantees the
workingman a better living; more
money for the necessities and luxuries
of life-the true foundation of gen.
eral and lasting prosperity"
And it is doing good, too.

According to newspaper reports Gov
ernor Black of New York at the elev-
enth hour, signed the bill prohibiting
printing In penal institutions. The
printers have won signal victory and
may. well congratulate themselves.
Probably the passage of no other meas
ure was more stubbornly contested
than this one, it appearing that nearly
every official and committee having
anything to do with penal institutions
had set its heart on having the state
printing done in those places. II the
printers had not been well organized
and had not been eternally vigilant
their pet measure would have been
strangled. The evil that the bill cor
reefs was one of the most sweeping and
far-reaching imaginable. The idea OF
teaching criminals the art of printing
and photo-engraving was the height Of
folly, as it would give them valuable
lessons in counterfeiting, one of the
most serious crimes that society has
to contend with today There were
many other logical arguments advanc-
ed why the proposed system should be
abolished, but logic and reason, as is
we'll known, cuts little figure with a
legislature.

Strange BedfellOws.

The assertion that extremes some
times meet is demonstrable both by
argument and experience. And such
meetings are sometimes startling even
to grotesqueness in the surprises they
furnish, aligning as 1t happens interest
and movement supposed to be hope
lessly irreconcilable. We have seen
prohibitionist and rumseller striking
hands to defeat sumptuary liquor legis-
lation; we have "heered Of Hanna
Gratis and bridge-burning Populists
coming together to achieve certain re-
suits between convention and election
time; yea, even Earring religious be-
liefs have made coalition under pres
sure of circumstances or crisis, though
results thus arrived at have usually
given as little satisfaction as accrues
to the dog at the climax of successful
pursuit of his own tail. And unlike the
aforementioned canine, such unions
are fruitful of embarrassments, and,
spite of mutual desires, sometimes dif-
ficult of severance And this will be
especially true of the latest unnatural
union, that of labor leaders and labor
bleeders in a determined effort to hold
back the government from the work
of Justice and rescue in Cuba, and from
inflicting salutary chastisement on
Spain, the incendiary among nations,
for her fearful work of treachery
against the battleship Maine and her
noble crew. The fact that the efforts
of this combination we're fruitless, and
that the aroused conscience of the ma
ton galvanized an apparently nerve
less administration into something like
activity does not lessen the heinous ma
ture of the offense, and we trust that
those misguided reformers whose zeal
for peace at any price led them into
such evil association will repent them
Of their sin in sackcloth and ashes and
promise more circumspection for the
future. Their plea that the din of for
eign conflict would obscure the sense of
the people to the aggressions of mono
poly at home is inadmissible, as the
first duty of the masses is the preserva-
ton of our common heritage from foes
without, which accomplished, the
righting of domestic wrongs maybe at
tended to and we have not the slightest
doubt that the people will look after
the matter at the proper time.
