A Joint resolution, that, in consequence OF
the i-treatment OF Capt. DREYFUs by the
French Government. the United States shall
withdraw from participation in the Paris Ex-
position OF 1900. is to be introduced in Con-
gress. it is said. by Senator STEWART OF Ne
vada. as soon as the next session opens. We
sincerely trust that nothing OF the kind will be
done. Thus far the French Gove-nment,-no
matter what may be the attitude Of the French
people and the French newspapers has shown
no disposition to do anything but justice to the
unfortunate accus ed; and until 1t changes its
policy. and becomes openly hostile to him. our
national legislature is bound to assume that
It Is acting in good faith.

The Ohio Flows On.

These are busy days for Democrats In the
two States which the Ohio River separates
and the Covngton Bridge unites. In Ohio
at GAINESVILLE, to-day, the Democratic State
Convention will assemble to nominate a
ticket, to formulate n platform, and to
adopt series OF bylaws for the future
management OF the party, there being no
existing by-laws for the management OF
Democratic conventions except such desu-
tory regulations az are adopted from time
to time. This matter OF bylaws seems to
many persons to be the most important
political business to be transacted at Xanes-
Vile. vigorous conflict over their pro-
visions would not he surprising.
Up to the present time the Democratic
contest in Ohio has been mechanical and
monotonous but to-day's convention may
change all that by arousing latent antago-
nisms or stimulating party hopes to such an
extent as to make the campaign sensation
ally exciting. or this, more will be known
when the platform is adopted, the ticket
nominated and the bylaws arranged for
future conventions.
In Kentucky there is no necessity among
Democrats for tho band to play in order
10 ulTeCI pubic nOIlco TO tne IacJ tllat the
fun has already begun. mere recital of
the general features Of interest without the
establishment of any local details is all
that is necessary for an understanding OF
the political situation.
In the first place whiskey famine is
threatened. 1t is the avowed intention, It
is announced, OF the distillers to restrict to
$4,000, 900 gallons this year tho output OF
Kentucky whiskey, as against 1917, 500
gallons, the official figures last year, not
wthstanding the fact that protracted
political canvass calls for a much larger
local consumption OF whiskey. than is the
case in those years in which no Governor
of Kentucky is TO be elected
This unreasonable restriction OF the
whiskey product is certainly destined to be
known az 1.-THE crime of 1899" 1t hits the
Kentucky Democrats severely, but more
remains. The irrecOnclable Populists have
put in nomination there this year ticket Of
| their own with Mr.. BLAIR for Governor Mt
| the head; and the three speakers invited to
inaugurate their campaign at Harrodsburg
| on Monday are PREFER OF Kansas, "Cy-
| clone" DAVIS OF Texas, and the ambiguous
Welsh Mayor OF Toledo, JONES, the free
for-all man. The appearance simulta-
neously Of these orators as participants in n
political side-show, would OF itself be serious
enough. but 1t seems that BRYAN Ia coming
forward also to take part In the canvass in
favor OF GoRBRL from the back platform Of

believe will not he furnished gratuitously

for the trip by the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad.
Added to these several menaces to the nor
NAL peace OF Kentuckans Ia the threatened
"splindling" OF tho tobacco crop In some
counties, due to tho lack OF rain, while In
some others there is said to be great
apprehensions OF frost" This is a serious
state OF affairs II true and is ascrlbed by
some embittered partsans to the fact that
Kentucky has now, for the first time IN It's
history, a Republican Governor.
Nor does even this long list complete
the perplexities OF the political and In
dustrial situation there. Although there
are already In nomination three Silver can
didates for Governor of Kentucky, each
claiming to be tho genuine and only Silver
platform candidate, namely, GoEBEL,
BROWN and BLAIR, proposition has al
ready secured the assent OF 5000 Ken
tuckians, IL is reported, calling upon
GoEBEL and Brown to withdraw in order
that there may be fourth convention and
another Democratic ticket.
More serious perhaps, even than any OF
these troubles of the Kentucky Democrats
is still another, projected like live and
splutterlng brand into caldron by the
Hon. JOE BLACKBURN, u denial Of the regu-
larity OF BROWN and OF his continuous
Democracy. 1t appears, briefly, that JOHN
Young BROWN, who claims to be regular
and uncompromising Democrat, and who
was elected as Governor on the Democratic
ticket in 1891, and ran for Congress on
the Bryan ticket in 1896, has flaw In
the armor Of his political regularity and Is
to be regarded as a backslider. Accord
ing to BLACKBURN, in the election OF
thirty-nine years ago, the PRESIDENTIAL
election Of 1860, JOHN Brown YOUNG, then
juvenile elector, bolted the regular
Democratic ticket and was guilty Of the
offence Of supporting for President STEPHEN
A. DOUGLAS, who, as Mr.. BLACKBURN
points out, was not the regular Democratic
candidate at that election. Hence the plain
tive query, Are you going to support for
Governor a man claiming to be Demo-
crat who bolted the ticket in 1902
The contemporary value Of this objection
would not DO regarded as serious else
where than in Kentucky, but among the
Silverltes fthat State such a crushing dem
onstration of tho boiling proclivities OF
BROWN, who disregarded BRECKENRIDGE to
aid DOUGLAS in 1860, is certain to cause
comment and to cost votes. When the
Ohio Democrats at GAINESVILLE to-day con-
trast their present position and prospects
with the plight OF their Democratic breth-
rem south Of the Ohio River, they may feel
greatly encouraged and reconclled to the
existence OF difficulties which are insig-
niflcant by comparison. The Kentucky
Democrats have troubles of their own.

THE RIGHTS OF OWNERSHIP.
Interesting Remarks About Printers
Strikes, Righteous and Unrightsous'

From he NsDbort Ne,ps Evening Journal
The failure OF the striking printers In the
ONCE Of The Sun TO force the proprietors OF
that newspaper to yield to their unreasonaple
demands furnishes fresh evidence oil the iact
that the strike as means OF settling LABOR ult-
hculties is rapidly parting with it's potency.
The owners OF TIE Sun simply insisted on
their right to conduct an open office. to be the
judges OF the qualifications OF their employees
and. in short. to manage their affairs to SUIT
themselves They were perfectly willing how
ever to pay their me according to the scale oil
wages nxed by the union.
But that did not please the printers. who
claimed that only compositors holding union
cards should be permitted to work in the office
In other words. they proposed to run the
mechauica department OF THE Sun according
to their ideas, regardless Of the wishes OF those
to whom the establishment belonged
Following the same line OF reasoning 1t is
quite clear that the editorial and reportoral
writer's employed by The Sun might with
equal justice insist upon changing the policy
OF the paper 30 as to bring 1t into harmony
with the views set forth by William Jennings
Bryan. jeremiah Simpson or John \. Coxey.
why not? We are unable to see any great dif-
ference between taking tho management OF a
mans business affairs out Of his hands and
compelling him to surrender his opinions. IL
is a Tom King and Dick Turpin matter con-
sidered from any point OF view.
1t 10 refreshing. however. to note the Tact
that honest and intelligent workingmen can
not be depended upon to encourage such con-
duct. Had THE Sun refused to pay the wages
demanded by the disgruntled printers the case
would be different; but 1t did not.
No strike can succeed unless It 10 founded
in justice. Mere sentiment In labor troubles
can no longer be relied upon to fill the empty
peck cts Of a lot OF mischief making idlers who
left their places because they wore unable to
carry out their stand and deliver" programme.
Workingmen must learn-and thousands OF
them are learninR-to deal with their employers
as Justly as they would have theiremployers deal
with them. Whenever they reach that point
their complaints will be accorded proper con-
sideration and respect. and n fair minded pub
lie will not he slow to extend substantial
encouragement to their cause But when. as
in the case OF The sun strikers. they are
neither undergrad nor overworked. they can
not hope to win tho Endorsement OF the
thoughtful element OF their own ranks. to say
nothing of popular approval
The Erpning journal will always be found
ready to aid legitimate labor movements. but
it will also be found equally ready to oppose
those which deny the right OF employers TO
direct their business interests according TO
their own notions.

There Is no doubt about the truth OF THE
Suns statement The writer OF this had an
experience as an employing printer in New
York a few years ago. and well knows the kind
OF crowd The Sun had to deal with. The print
ting trades unions in that city are simply
organized bands of robbers. They take every
employing printer by the throat. and he
must surrender to them or give up his
business unless he is strong enough
to defy them. They have no conscience.
no bowels OF compassion. no honor or
honesty. Their rule is yield or die. and women
as we'll as men are their victims. To self
respecting man who has some idea OF right
and wrong. who believes that the law should
protect man in the control Of his own prop
erty. the surrender OF his business to these
robbers is impossible. His only alternative Is
to quit. and many a man has been compelled
to throw up the sponge by those plunderers.
the New York printing trades unions. They
are all alike.
The publishers OF the New York newspapers
are babes and towards or they would long ago
have driven out this robber band and begun
running their own business. The Chicago
papers tackled that problem and won but the
New York papers are busy with their own
petty quarrels while their employees control
their property. put their hands in their tills.
and with their fingers to their noses ask the
employer WndI ne ID gong 10 40 hDOlt IL.
This all goes to show how rascally unfair
strong labor union can become. There is
place for labor unions in the world and all right
thinking people sympathze with them as long
as their aims are right. 1t is possible for an
association OF skilled laborers to organize for
their own protection and Improvement and to
keep within the bounds Of reason and law.
But 1t seems impossible to give power into the
hands OF people who have no particular mental
training without having it abused. So long as
the average labor union has no power it re-
spects the rights Of others and obeys the law.
But when 1t has power. or thinks it has. it is
pretty apt to commit excuses against both
persons and property.
The question in the case OF THE SUN was not
at all question Of wages. THE Sun was pay
ing no one less than the union scale and some
employees much more. But the Union was
not satisfied unless 1t could run the Office and
