Aspiration in Labor Dispute.


In an address before an association of
manufacturers recently, a practical econ
omist, who is himself an extensive man
ufacturer, made the following significant
statement when speaking of the benefcent
results flowing from the national arbitra-
ton of labor disputes in his line of bust
ness =
The result of all this is that we have
had absolute peace in our business. In
the management of our business during
these thirteen years l do not think we
have ever given a single day to the con-
sideration of labor questions, and never
haYe been compelled to publish on our
letter head that All agreements are SUBJ
ject to strikes and other occurrences beyond
our CONTROL"
So happy condition of one very large
manufacturing industry is chiefly the re-
suit of intelligent co-opera ton among
manufacturers whose plants are widely
scattered over the United States and whose
employees are to large extent members of
an aggressive union. In this instance the
uuion was fixed fact long years before
the manufacturers had considered the
utility of cooperation. The relation Of
employer and employee had become so
strained in that trade that financial ruin
was imminent. Strikes. often of great
violence, we're occurring several times
annually Conditions became unbearable,
as well to the employee who was con-
tinual loser by his act of depreciation as to
the employer who was steadily drifting on
the rocks.
In desperation, seeing the inevitable
failure of seperate endeayor and isolation a
few manufacturers met and laid the
foundation Of an organization that has now
the pleasure and profit of rejecting upon
the peaceful and prosperous picture faith
fully portrayed by its most distinguished
member in the words above quoted. The
significant feature of this particular case ID
the fact that the employee is as well salts
fed as the employer.-H. W. Hoyt, IN

The prevalence of that peculiar and
little understood disease variously known
as the grip, influenza and winter malaria
is being widely recognized once more, and
physicians are finding themselves busy
attending to cases of greater or less gravity.
There seems just now to be an atmospheric
infection, spreading westward and south
ward from the port of New York, where,
some scientists believe the disease has been
regularly imported from Europe for a
number of seasons. The symptoms of this
affection are so nearly combination of a
bad cold and an attack of malaria, with
other symptoms on the side, that it has
baf1sd the bacteriOlogist in che effort to
specialize the cause and to find a reliable
remedy, although recent investigations
have brought some of the students of the
disease to believe that the germ is egg
shaped and propagates itself with marvel
GUS rapiditv when once it has located itself
within the mouth or nose. The public
mind is not yet thoroughly satisfied that
the grip constitutes new disease, or that
it is different from mild pneumonia, al
though the weight of medical opinion is
thrown in the direction of the doctrine
that it is a distinct disease, with its own
germ ana It's Specinc r6meQy YET 10 De
confidently prescribed Just why it should
be accredited to European origin when it is
known to have prevailed here for at least
ten winters is unexplained. The usual
course for infectious diseases is for the
danger to remain localized until some eli
matte influence has absolutely destroyed
the vitality of the germ. It may yet prove
that the grip germ, if it really does exist,
is capable of only short period of activity,
succumbing to seasonable changes The
wave of theory would then be accepted on
the ground that the disease travels back
and fourth over broad areas of the world,
possibly around the globe in the wake of
travel. Whatever the cause and nature of
the germ, or the eccentricity of its move
ments the fact remains that humanity is
being sorely afflicted nearly every winter
with mysterious trouble, which racks the
bones. shakes the nerves, sap the power
and strength, and in many cases leads to
very serious illness in a manner unlike any
ailment which has ever been particularly
recorded in medical history

[FrOm the IndianapOlis sentinell.


Senator Hoar is as conspicuous an exam
pie of blind partisanship as ever New
England produced, and that is saying a
great deal. He sees and confesses the
wrongful and dangerous attitude of the
Administration He realizes that it is
departing frem American principles and
right principles. He knows that Congress
is under the thumb of the Administration.
He knows that the Republican leaders are
not going to recede from the position they
have taken; that they intend to go further
and deal far more iniquitOnsly with the
Philippines than they have done with
Porto Rico. And yet he processes that his
only hope of right is from them, and
declares that the Democratic party cannot
be trusted. His position is that it is better
to have the Constitution and the inherent
rights of man smashed by the Republican
party than to have them preserved by the
Democratic party.

countx Insane tiespItaIa.


AS there has been some discussion Of the
subject of establishing county insane
asylum in this county, and some facts pre-
sented for and against ii, we deem any in
formation on the subject important. Hence
we quote the following article from the
Newark Evening Neacs:
Prompted by motives of economy there
is steadily increasing tendancy on the
part of the different counties of New Jersey
TO erect and maintain county insane hospi-
tails. Cumberland has lately completed
such an institution and has removed to it
from the State asylum at Trenton nearly
100 patients. Burlington has just decided
to follow Cumberlands example, and has
selected a site wherein hospital will be
erected during the present year. The
Monmouth Board Of Freeholders is dis
cussing like project and the newspapers
of other counties are pressing the matter
upon the attention of their readers. In
every instance economy is the plea advan-
ced in favor of county hospitals. Under
the present law the counties pay the State
SO a week and the cost Of clothing for each
patient maintained in State hospitals
Where the counties care for their own in
sane they collect 50 week from the State.
1t is estimated that in most of the counties
the 81 per patient which the State pays
will be amply sufficient to support the ex-
penses of county hospital.
THE one danger to be apprehended from
county asylums in the smaller counties il
that in the desiie to save money the
patients will not receive the careful and
scientific treatment given them in the State
hospitals. The proper care of the insane
demands the employment of experts. The
average physician is no more fit to be in
trusted with the treatment and care OF
mental diseases than is a blacksmith to
perform a difficult surgical operation
Humanity prescribes that the durable in
sane shall have the watchfnl care of skilled
alienists, whose lives have been devoted in
their special work, and that nothing which
modern science and investigation has ap-
proved. either in the way of treatment or
surroundings, shall be omitted. How many
counties outside of few like Essex will 60
to the expense of maintaining such insti-
tutiOns?
with the multiplication of county in
sane hospitals the necessity for state super
vision becomes imperative. At the present
time they are entirely free from State con-
troll, with the exception of such watchful-
ness as the State Charities Aid Association
gives them and which amounts to nothing
since that body is powerless to effect needed
reforms. County asylums should be under
the supervision of state board and COM
posed of specialists and clothed with
the authority to compel either the obeer-
vance of the most approved methods or the
removal of the patients to q state hospital.

The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph is
authority for the assertion that the plan is
laid and is being worked to turn Mckinley
down in the National Convention, and to
nominate Roosevelt in his stead. The
Telegraph says =
The coming National Republican Con-
vention is not going to be a love-ieast by
any means, and the question of the Vice
Presidency is not going to furnish the
only excitement of the coDclaYe. Instead,
the battle for the first place on the ticket
is going to be as hard fought as was the
fight in 1883, when General Harrison
was made the standard bearer of the
party.
: For the past two months fast-grow-
ing sentiment in favor of Theodore Roose-
welt for the Presidency has peen spreading
unchecked, and to-day the agitation in
favor of the Rough Rider reached this
city, and has been the chief topic of con-
versation among those high in the Repub-
lican party. It was pointed out that Nc
Klniey has been losing some of his p0pu-
iarity throughout the country, and as
evidence of this it is shown that several
Of the States which have already elected
their delegates to the National Convention
have not instructed them regarding the
ticket to be named. :"
Il is more than probable that the Tele-
graph knows more about what is going to
happen to Mckinley in the Republican
Convention than it has yet printed, and it
is not at all improbable that knowing
Republicans will try to revive failing
Republican prospects with new candidate,
but the effort will be of no avail, whether
with Mckinley or Roosevelt the Republi-
can party lie going to defeat in November.
The party has ceased to stand for anything
but jobbery. and is doomed to certain de-
feat in November.

The Q. S. Senate on Tuesday afternoon
by Q vote of 50 to 49, refused to seat Mat
thew Stanley Quay as .. S. Senator from
Pennsylvania. Our readers being familiar
with the history of this case we will not
renew it now. The comment of the Record
seems to us, as pertinent q presentment Of
the case as possible to condense in para
graph. 1t said yesterday
Except in the narrowest partisan sense
the question decided was not political
question. Without any disposition to gloat
over the outcome, The Record, cannot help
but felicitate all the people of Pennsylva-
mia. Their rights were most directly
involved. Mr.. Quay is one Of the most
unworthy yet one of the most popular men
in public life. Aaron Burr, the schemer Of
our earlier politics, was not more dangerous
or more interruptions. The action of the
Senate on the Quay case was, we repeat, a
narrow escape. The whole country has
reason to be thankful
Senator Sewell, of this State voted 10 seal
Quay, and Senator Kean was paired against
him.
