as we keep out of Europe's quarrels,
Europe cannot with good grace pick

THE OUTCOME PLEASING.


From the Utica, n. Y, Press.
Congressman Sherman arrived home from the
Philadelphia convention yesterday. When asked
for his impressions of the result Of its work he
said:
II think the outcome Of the convention Is
pleasing, not to Republicans alone, but to all
patriotic citizens The platform, tcrse, clear,
distinct emphatic resounds with patriotism and
bristles with Americanism And the ticket-it
is ideal: nothing less. The forms, faces and
characters OF the candidates are familiar every
where. II is surplussage to speak OF them. What
the action of the delegates in nominating the
candidate for president would be has been
known for months, yes years. The desire that
Governor Roosevelt should grace and strengthen
the national ticket by accepting a place thereon
has long been universal The desire was less
strong in our state than elsewhere because we
wished him to continue to serve us in the
executive chair. The sincerity Of the governor
in asking not to be drafted for service on the
national ticket, Is as certain as the North star
"The delegates in the convention, however,
particularly from the west, dared not respect
the governors wishes in disregard OF the known
desire Of the constituencies which sent them 10
Philadelphia Mr. Roosevolt's nomination was
not the result Of the wish or plan Of any man
or coterie Of men; nor could that nomination
he prevented by the utmost efforts of other
men. From the arrival OF the first delegates in
Philadelphia the tide set toward Roosevelt, and
it was never stcmmed until it swept him, unwill-
ing and resisting. into the vice.prosdcntial noni.

destined to serve the people of the nation in
the highest trust in their gift"

The Boer Enjoys Appeal.

HE BOER ENJOYS exhibit
child-like simplicity in as
serting that If the United
Slater would officially ex-
tend its moral support to their South
African countrymen Great Britain
would lay down and Boer independ-
ence would be recognized. The asser-
ton is as preposterous as is the hope
that It expresses. In the first place it
remains to be proved that a majority
OF the inhabitants of the United States
who have arrived at years of discre-
tion and have devoted time to
study of the South African problem
feel inclined to extend moral support
TO the Boer cause. That there is in
this country a widespread sympathetic
feeling for the Beers which goes out
to them irrespective of the merits Of
the controversy and largely for the
reason that England is big while her
adversaries are little is undeniable;
but this is not moral support. 1t is

one of its kind which has exclusive
control over one of the chief gateways

public benefit during the nearly half

TOO MUCH PRINCIPLE"



Sir: Referring to your editorial in todays
Tribune captioncd "Amercan Patience" and
speaking of the strike the st. Louis rapid
transit street car lines you ask the question,
'When will public opinion demand the reference
OF all such differences to a court OF arbitraton"
Now, perhaps a court of arbitration could com.
pei both sides TO the controversy to submit their
differences TO arbitration, but it could not
pei them to abide by its decision, for no court
or any other tribunal could compel an employer
to pay more than he wished to pay. Nor could
it compel an employc to work for less than he
wanted to work for. II it could do so this would
not be "Frce America" This strike has cost the
strikers $4,000, the city, S3OOO00, and the
street railway company, Sl,0OO,OOO, and why?
Simply because, in my opinion, there has been
too much importance put on the word call
principle" Too much is stakcd on this word,
both by employers and employees. For instance,
an employer will deal with his employees as EN-.
ployes. but will not deal with them union
men, as a matter of principle. Again, employees
will strike because the employer will not deal
with them as union. As consequence there
is a strike that costs both sides, well as the
public, thousands upon thousands of dollars, all
| on account of the principle involved"
o
1t seems to me that both sides to such contro
verses would show more principle by using the
word less and by trying to come to agree
mcnt by using the good old rule of "Do unto
others as you would that they should do TO you"
] am a union man, a member of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and believe in unions,
but | don't believe in stalking too much the
word call "principle' when 1t comes TO set
| tling labor disputes. 1t would have been much
| better for the st. Louis Street Car company, as
| we'll as for the strikers and the public ii they
| had come to some agreement with their old en-
poyes, because the latter are conyersant with the
| work and can handle .nc business of the COM
| pany much better than the three thousand new
| men they have hired. 1t will take the company
| about one year to "brcak in" the new men so
| they can do the business in proper shape and by
| that time they will be organized into a union
| Just as the old ones were and the company will
| have the same fight to fight over again.
Whenever there is strike We see more or less
| in the papers about compulsory education, but I
| have never yet practical theory advanced
| as to how it could be put in force In my opin-
| ion the newspapers could do more than any other
| agency in bringing together the employer and
| employe so they would come TO some agreement
| and settle their differences. II all papers would
| take the stand The Tribune took during the late
anthracite coal miners threatened strike, and be
fair to both sides, there would not be one.half

friends as to whether he should leave the cabi.
net on account OF the presidents advocacy OF
the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, it was
decided that Mr.. Marcy should not resign. Their
decision was not altogether disintcrcsted, as his
retirement would have left them without friend

age in the state of New York for them to give
up for political principle. Had Secretary
Marcy retired from President Pierces cabinet on

The Birth OF The
Republican Party


Hon. Galusha A. Grow, in the Philadelphia Press.
NDURlNG political parties in free election
governments are not the growth Of a day.
II They are the result of conflicting opinions
through periods, long or short, on grave
questions of public concern. The legislative
events which were the immediate incentive TO
the formation of the Republican party were OF
deep and far reaching significance. They grew out
Of the conflicting sentiments as TO the existence
and extension Of free and slave labor institu.
tions in our country. On Dec. Il, 1858, Senator
Dodge, of Wisconsin, introduced a bill for the
organization of the territory of Nebraska, the
same in form as the one that passed the house
of representatives in the previous congress This
bill was referred to the committee territories
of which Senator Douglas was chairman. On Jan.
4, 1854, Mr.. Douglas reported this bill back to
the senate. 1t provided for only one territory,
that Of Nebraska.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-06-27

After the Nebraska bill had been reported.
Senator Douglas, John C. Breckenridge and Philip
Phillips, of Alabama, went TO the white house to
see President Pierce about including the repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise in the territorial
bill. The proposition was exceedingly popular
in the south. The only question with these gen.
tlemen was as to political policy. President
Pierce was in sympathy with them, or ex-
pressed himself. Senator Douglas suggested that
Pierce write down in pencil the phraseoloGy he
thought proper to put in the bill. The senator
was sharp a little suspicious and desired to COM
nit President Pierce in manner which the lat
ter would have TO stand by. The president wrote
down the provision which was aftcrward incor-
poraed in the bill providing for the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise. Senator Douglas took
this pencil manuscript with him and as the
party rose TO go President Pierce said to them:
Before you do anything see Marcy" Mr..
Marcy at that time was Pierce's secretary Of
state. Douglas and the rest of the delegation
promised they would see the secretary and did
call at the department, but Mr.. Marcy was out.
4 day or two afterward Douglas introduced the
bill containing the repeal in words as President
Pierce had written them.
