THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
Locomotive Engineers Have Learned
the Value of Winding 1t.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
las far as the Locomotive Brotherhood
Of Engineers is concerned" said Mr.. p. NJ.
Arthur yesterday after he had read a news
paper dispatch referring to certain demands
by the employees of the Big Four, there is
no complaint. We had an understanding
with the Big Four about two months ago
and our people have no grievances. What
is our attitude regarding the grievances of
other trainmen? Well. We have none. 1t
has paid our organization 10 attend TO its
own affairs. Strikes at best are expensive
luxuries. The c., 3. & @. strike cost us
over $l,00c,V0 alone and then proved moth
ing but the fallacy of striking. OF course,
the railway company didn't make much
TO 80, and the loss of receipts ought TO go a
good ways toward paying the public debt
OF CIeve.and, but all that didnt do our or
ganiZation any good. A strike can only
succeed where the strikers cannot be re-
placed by other men. Since making an
agreement with the big Four We arranged
matters with the santa Fe and the D., l..
ing and without threatening to strike. All.
that is wanted is a little common sense on
both sides, q little forbearance, a little
yielding and compromising. Yes, there are
instances when one side will not meet the
other, utterly refusing 10 listen TO the other
side. In such cases, hard as 1t may seem,
/ still hold that a strike is useless If there
ers. Still, I'm not advising others. The
locomotive engineers are attending strictly
to their own knitting and are doing we'll
by it."

all likely hat General Grant ever bought
or sold a slave. but there were few young
men OF that period who would have de-
clined TO own them. from principle, If they
came as a gift with a wife. If he owned
any slaves when the war broke out, as
Mrs. Grant is reported as saying. they
must have been hired out in st. Louis. as
they could not have been with him at Ga
lena, Ill, where he went in April, 1860, to
become a clerk in his fathers hardware
and leather store. The fathe was at that
time in Covington, KY. In a letter to Gen.
James G. Wilson, written from Frankfort

of i'll health. Simpson sent him to the Ga
lena store, to stay until something else
might turn up in his favor, and told him
he must confine his wants within $500 a
year, and that if that would not support
him he must draw what it lacked from the
rent of his house and the hire of his ne
groes in st. Louis" From this it appears
he did own slaves at that time. About a
year after he went to Galena something
did turn up in his favor in a way that
out of his mind. 1t is not likely he ever
realized a cent on them. There is nothing
in his record or career to show that he
ever believed in the institution of slavery
as such.

GEN. GRANT as A SHAREHOLDERS.

An article in the news columns of the
Journal of Tuesday. giving an outline OF
Mrs. Grants autobiography. made her say:
General Grant was a stakeholder. and so
were his people. Indeed. We owned slaves
ourselves when the war broke out; our house
and field servants were slaves, and so was
the nurse who was rearing our children"
This is doubtless correct. although IL seems
strange to think Of the man who brought
the war for the suppression of the slave
holders rebellion 10 a successful conclu-
sion as himself a STAKEHOLDER. 1t must be
remembered. however, that in ante-war
tines no particular moral stigma attached
10 the owning OF slaves. although many
persons who owned them by inheritance
refused TO buy or sell them. Ii is no
doubt true, though Mrs. Grant does not so
state. that the only slaves General Grant
ever owned were such as he received as
part OF her dowry when he married her.

Maryland and a wealthy merchant OF ST.

clare that silver is no longer an issue they
must either return to the Republican fold

The Roberts case IN the House of Repre-
sentatives is likely to unfold a narrowing
tale. Mormonism rather than Roberts will
really be on trial. The extent of the Nor
mon menace to our civilization is probably
not fully realized. The general impression
is that Mormonlsm is losing ground before
the influx OF g~enIiles. 1nis was the case

ices, which was enough TO procure good
talent from the gentle population. The
sla.e Legislature promptly reduced the COM

the ~slow-going Mormons, and so leaves
these important local Offices in their hands.
The Mormon population is increasing faster

Strange as it may seem, the Presidents
plan for organizing a republican form of
government in Cuba which shall include all
was not received with favor at the outset.
The planters. the capitalists and the Span
ish families held off because they did not
desire to have anything to do with the
Cubans. On their side, the Cubans who were
either engaged in or sympathized with the
insurrection insisted that every man who
was loyal to the Spanish government dur
ing the revolution shall be ~disfranchised and
prohibited from holding office. These two
factions could not conceive of a government
In which both should share the benefits. 1t
is said that the hostility is gradually sub
siding, and that by the time the people
shall be called upon to vote upon any i'm
portant question all will be eager to partic-
ipate without serious objection. Under the
present military regime the conservative
classes, planters, merchants and others who
have business and industrial interests in
Cuba have taken no part in the government,
being satisfied with the policy pursued, but
now that civil government is talked of.
these people are organizing. Their repre-
sentatives have been to see the President
and expressed their opinions. They are
not so eager for independence, because they
fear the consequences should the Cuban
who have been revolutionists come to
power. They would prefer that the United
States should exercise some power of SUI
pervision over the island for some time.
This policy does not suit the large element
hat may be called soldiers of fortune-the
men who hold meetings, issue protests and
threaten bloodshed If an independent gov
eminent is not given them at an early
day. They have nc interest in the industry
or the prosperity of the island. Because
the Americans drove out the Spaniards they
assume that they have an undisputed right
to rule the island, which means to plumber
it by being taxed and the issue of bonds.
1t may be expected that this element will
give the United States considerable trouble.
Already they are protesting against the
Presidents idea of a civil government and
threatening war If any policy is adopted
which will deprive them of am opportunity
to misrule Cuba and make it another Cen
trail American republic. If any element in
Congress should be so unwise as to encour-
age the element that is now protesting
against the establishments of a civil govern
ment our troubles in Cuba will be but be-
gun.

Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
Even at this late day, were President Nc
Kinley by any improbable chance to re-
verse his policy in regard to the Philippines
and to the withdrawal OF the
American army from the islands. the DEM
ocratic party would arise in a body and de-
nounce the administration for its treachery
and its cowardice. The fact that that is
what ii now pretends to desire would make
no difference, should the President decide
TO pursue that course. The whole cry
against expansion is animated by the fool
ish notion that the Democrats must oppose
whatever the Republicans favor, which
suggests that a political organization has
nothing better TO offer than obstinate dis
agreement-for the sake of disagreement
with a party that is strong enough with
the people TO control the government

The Cable Needed.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
1t is said that the secretary Of war will
recommend the construction of a cable line
between the Pacific coast and the Philip
pine islands. This is a form of annexation
which would be of the utmost practical use.
The cable, like a ring in the nose of a
bull, is Of great emergent efficacy as a
means Of government. The immediate ap-
pointment of civil governors for Cuba and
Porto Rico is also recommended, and the
requirement of educational and property
qualifications as the basis of suffrage. 1t
is undoubtedly along these lines that civil
government must be established in the
