LABOR TROUBLES.

An exchange notices Chat while the
times are better for the laborins class
es than any year since 1899. there Is
also manifest a spirit OF Testles5ness In
many quarters. In the South a gem
era strike OF coal miners Is threatened.
Emlssaries Of labor unions are visit
ing certain sections Of the country,
preaching the doctrine that 1t Is the
duty Of laborers 20 prccipitate trouble
with their employers The fact IS
regretted as proving the willingness Of
some people TO be swayed by agltators
instead Of consulting their own best
interests.
Every story has two sides. though.
The newspapers give daily accounts Of
conferences between producers OF, or
dealers In. commodities Of life, at which
agreements are made 70 raise the
price, Nearly everything has gone
up whether on account OF an increased
demand or not makes no difference.
The laborer has to ray much more
now than a year ago for coal, oil,
clothes. food, houserent. What Is, then,
more natural than that the laborers
should follow the general example and
try. by combination, 70 force a cor
responding rise in wages? Labor trou-
bles are deplorabe. No one can desire
to see duel between interests that
are practically Identical. But 1t Is
easy to account for them at time
when everything but labor Is by delIb-
crate contract between producers
raised In price.

THE SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING

President Mckinley in issuing the
Thanksgiving proclamation that set
apart the last day Of November as one
on which especially TO remember the
mercies Of Providence, pointed out that
In all branches OF industry and com
merce there has been an unequaled de-
gree Of prosperity, while there has been
a steady gain in the moral and educa-
tlonal growth Of our national character,
He also reminded the people OF the
glories achieved on the field Of battle.
American patriotism has been exalted,
he said. Those engaged in maintaining
the honor Of the flag with such signal
success have been IN a large degree
spared from disaster and disease An
honorable peace has been ratified with
a foreign nation with which we were al
war. ana we are now on friendly rela-
lions with every power on earth. The
trust which We have assumed for the
benefit Of the people OF Cuba has been
faithfully advanced.
On the campaign In Luzon, the procla-
nation stated that while the insurrec-
ton stlll continues in the island Of Lu-
zon. business is resuming It's activity
and confidence in the good purposes Of
the United states Is being rapidly es-
tablished throughout the archipelago.
The American people have, indeed,
much cause for gratitude Their en-
tire history shows that they are a ma
ton with mission. They are located
in land choice above all others with
boundless resources and unsurpassed
beauties Of nature. They have been
the guardians Of the principles Of llb-
erty that ultimately viii be the re-
demption OF the race from bondage,
and the foundation Of truly mlllen-
NAL reign. The soil on which they
dwell is hallowed by events OF i'm.
measurable Importance to all mankind,
as well as by the blood OF heroes and
martyrs
The people Of Utah heartily enter into
the spirit Of thanksgiving. They have
learned, to some extent, 10 acknow-
ledge the hand Of the Lord in all
things, and they can see nothing but
success ahead. They have found, long
ago, that even the blacklist clouds but
temporarily veil the sun. They soon
exhaust their contents and are scat
tered by the winds. leaving the land
scape bathed in radiance, and all the
better in every way for the passing
storms.

THE KAISER IN ENGLAND.
Boston Transcript.

The object Of the kaiser's visit TO
England probably is TO placate British
public opinion which he provoked to
hostility by his ostentatious sympathy
with the Beers at the time Of the Jane
son raid and which he has frequently
ruified since. The kaiser seldom does
anything without a purpose-eyen his
fussy activity is designed to fix upon
himself the eyes OF Germany-and he
doubtless Is seeking to placate England
with the intention Of inducing her 10
further some Of his projects A man
Of enormous concelt he Is not, however,
incapable Of learning something from
experience. and during the past four
years he has had many opportunities
for realizing that he made q great mis-
take by adopting a policy Of insolence
toward Great Britain.

NO REWARD FOR REBELS.

AS the Filipino rebels find that their
cause Is lost for ever. they seem 10 De-
lleye that Uncle Sam owes them an
Office as reward for laying down their
arms. The American people may In a
spirit Of reconciliation be willing to DO
much. but there should be no undue
haste In giving power authority ana
salary to those who are responsible for
the disturbances and bloodshed that
have taken place after the war with
Spain. Those natives who have re-
NAMED loyal 10 the United States

positions as they are capable OF hlling
The rebels need to pass through term

surgent leaders cannot De justified, but
the other extreme OF rewardlns them
with offices Is no policy at all, when
the government has 10 deal with low,
treacherous characters,
II Is not unreasonable to suppose that
the rebel leader started on his career
Of resistance to the United States in the
hope that he could make the climate
so uncomfortable for our troops, that
the government finally would be will
ing to buy his loyalty and services at
an enormous price. Everywhere there
are storm giants who know nothing but
brute force. In their mad career they
viii pile rock upon rock until the rough
structure falls and furnishes them q
unenyiable grave. They may be OBJ
jects OF pity. but they cannot expect
those against whom they have made
a relentless and insane war to pull
them out Of the self-made pit and en-
throne them in their confidence and af-
lection.
