\HE DECISION of Justice
Mclaughlin of the New
Il York supreme court that
employers have as clear a
right to say whom they will employ as
employees have to say for whom or
With whom they will work enuncia;es
no new principle in law; on the con-
'rary, the principle is as ancient as the
law of contract. But it is greeted
with evidences of surprise. which show
that the public understanding must in
recent years have grown confused.
The finding resulted from the agents
of one labor union endeavoring to Sc
cure the discharge of members of an
other union so as to put men belong
ing to the first union into the vacated
places. The court held that so long as
these endeavors violated no law; that
is to say, so long as threats were not
used nor coercion nor intimidation, 1t
had no power to interfere. SO long as
no law was broken, 1t remained a case
of union against union and man
against man. the whole matter resting
on the right of the employer to hire
whom he pleased, when he pleased and
at such wages as might be agreed
upon; and upon its corollary. the right
of the workman to work for and with
whom he pleased.
Unquestionably 1t is in this free op-
portunity for the interplay of competi-
tiou that society finds it's strongest
protection against monopolistic combi-
nations, whether of capital or labor.
The trust which is arrogant and unfair
must always incur the danger of COM
petition, and the history of organized
labor shows that the durability of a
labor organization is to be attained
only through honorable and conserva-
tive dealing. Americans of every sta
ton in life resent injustice and admire
fair play This great preponderating in
stinct is the bulwark of our safety and
the assurance that no combination of
interests which offends the public APP
probation of equity can hope for per-
manance on American soil.

VII.-"THE COLLECTION AND
DISPOSAL OF GARBAGE"

Copyright 1900, by William s. Crandall)
T>IIE COLLECTION and disposal of city's
refuse and waste deeply concerns every
municipality The manner of collection
n and disposal In relation to economy and
sanitation are questions which worry the
city official. These could be more easily solved
il the means were always forthcoming. But,
unfortunately. $Ae opposition to an organized
system is mortafdhu to overcome than the
problem is to solrc. Taxpayers, who give the
matter no Thought except from the viewpoint
that it will add to their taxes vigorously pro-
test against the organization OF system of gar
hage collection and disposal. BY one means
and another, in some cities, the public hagglcs
over the matter for months, causing long delays
In such cases only the slow process Of cduca-
tion, by facts and figures, will convince the oh.
structionsts that their fears are founded on
ignorance and prejudice. When they stop to
think and figure it is seen that a well.organi2ed
and conducted system can do the work for less
money than is then being paid by the house
holder. Minneapolis, Mimi, and Bnghlmton,
\. Y, have been arguing the question for more
than a year The former has finally decided
to adopt the modern method OF solving the prob
lem, while the latter has concluded to stick
by the prmcva custom. i. e., continue the
dumping ground system
The city of Houston Tex, with a population
of about 10000, built crcmatory at an ex-
pcnse Of 5000. The cost Of collecting and
operating the plant amounts to about 5000 an
nualy. Reckoning five to the family, there
would he 1900 households to collect garbage
from. This would make the annual expense per
family for the collection and disposal Of garbage
the insignificant sum Of 81 cents Enough cities
are using up-to.date means for solving the prob
lem satisfactorily to demonstrate its feasibility
What is lacking in most places. where no sys.
TEN is employed, is push and enterprise.
The following tables will show the methods Of
collecting and dsposing Of the city's waste in
practice in twenty-five cities in Is99:

Toiler Of the city,
Leave thy tasks a while;
Flowers bloom and breezes blow;
Natures all a.smile;
Birds are singing swcetly
Sad hearts 10 beguile.
Leave the noisy clamor
OF the city street;
Taste thou of the pleasure,
OF the bounty sweet,
Nature gives her children -
Scatters at their feet,
What boots all thy struggled
All thy toll and care?
What thou vainly seekCst
Waits thee unaware
Where the fragrant flowers
Scent the halmy air.
Not in wealth and grandeur
Lies thy future bliss,
Nor can earthly plaudits
Bring thee happiness;
Draw thou close TO Nature;
Feel her loving kiss.
Simple hearts are truest.
Simple pleasures best;
IT'S not pomp and fsshion
Giveth life a zest-
Commune with the woodlands
hrlngeth peace and rest.

cabinet at Washington who
Il seldom talks for publication
but when he does he invar-
iably says something. We have in
mind the secretary of agriculture,
Hon. James Wilson, a man as full of
common sense as a gourd is full Of
seeds. A Chicago interviewer was
successful the other day in penetrating
Mr.. Wilson's habitual silence. The
secretary told what he thought about
the Chinese problem, discussed the
Philippines and finally was induced TO
speak concerning Cuba. 1t was res
pecting this last mentioned topic that
his words were noteworthy.
"The Cubans," said he, "do not like
us. Considering what we have done
for them, they have not a good spirit.
Let them find out for themselves, then,
how 1t will be with them without our
support, and when they find what the
difference in trade is with them be-
tween independence and closer con-
nection, they will think better of us.
Harvard brought up 1900 of their
teachers to Cambridge to instruct
them at the expense Of the people OF
New England. That is our kind of
imperialism, hitherto unknown on the
earth, altruistic. Christian, unselfsh.
If the Cubans do not appreciate 1t, let
them go their own sweet will. Only /
am sure they will be cutting one an
others throats when they are by
themselves. After little of that, they
will appreciate us better"

sure or contempt. Pugnacity breeds
pugnacity. The gentler influences ac-
complish most in the end. Where for
eign missionaries have been trucuent
or intolerant of local conditions and
superstitions they have made mischief
and have been sadly out of place. But
W here Is the evidence that this type OF
missionary has been prominent in
China? This cannot fairly be as
sumed. It must be proved. Our read
ing of the testimony as supplied by
consuls, ministers and tourists has
been adverse to such a supposition.
No nober tribute was ever penned
than that of Colonel DENLY upon the
foreign missionaries in China which
we reproduced on this page some
months ago. His testimony Is over
Whelmingly " corroborated.
Let us pc SLOW 10 condemn tne MIS-
siJnary. Let us rather see whether
the fault is not In the poor support
which the missionary has had from So
called Christian governments that by
unChristian methods have filled the
mind of the heather with distrust and
resentment. True Christianity, when
practiced as well as preached, doesn't
make trouble. 1t makes peace. The
preaching has been pretty fair: but
how about the practice?

Tho work in Milwaukee includes the collcc.
tion and disposal Of the garbage, which will ac.
count for the larger cost In fairness il should
be stated, also, that the figures for the contract
work were taken from old reports, when the city
was under the contract system. That was several
years ago, when the means for collecting and
disposing of the garbage were less economical
than at present.

McKinley's cabinet to say this we
shall not discuss. But now that 1t has
been said, could words more accurate

American of common sense, however
he may palaver 1t over when talking
in public, knows in his heart to be the
exact truth?

Teddy.

Y T WAS TO BE expected that Gov
ernor Roosevelt's opening speech
Il would not please everybody. We
are not surprised to learn that it
has displeased the Democratic cam
paign managers, the Aguinaldoites and
that pusllanimous portion of the
human race which instinctively recoils
from good, wholesome American virill-
ty. The Democrats criticize Teddy as
matter of politics, the Aguinaldoites
as Il matter of principle and the Miss
Nancys because they cannot help II.
Their criticisms in reality imply COM
pliments, and do not in the least i'm
pair his well deserved popularity.
The one criticism upon his st. Paul
speech which has come from friendly
sources has been less censorious in in
tent than apprehensive. There have
been Republicans, strong admirers of
the vice presidential nominee, who
have been somewhat inclined to ques-
ton the political eXpedienCy of laying
so much stress upon the subject of
expansion, which they do not consider
to be in any serious sense an issue in
this campaign, and so little upon the
currency question, which they believe
to be the real danger lurking behind
Mr.. Bryan's candidacy. They argue
that the Kansas City endeavor to raise
the imperialism" spectre into the par
amount place is a desperate device to
divert attention from the pernicious
doctrine of 16 to and they don't favor
accommodating the enemy by acquies-
cenCe in any such subterfuge. EXpan-
sion, they assert, has been accom-
plshed; it. is irrevocable. The Philip
pines are ours by executed treaty and
by the bloodshed of our soldiers; our
flag has been raised in token of con-
summated sovereignty, and the spec
ious outcry against imperialism" is
as far from pertinent to the actual
facts as the ratified zinc behind the
of natures thunder.
We have no opinion of our own to
express on this point, further than TO
suggest that Colonel Roosevelt has In
the past shown himself we'll qualified
to take care both of himself and of
the causes entrusted to his care. If he
prefers to meet the enemy on the lat
ter's chosen battle ground 1t is very
probable that as at San Juan hill he
will come out ahead and that If there
is cause for apprehension it's location
should be among his opponents. The
truth is that Teddy is a natural born
eXpansionist, who could not be any
thing else If he tried He has been
expanding ever since he was a boy
and the idea that what people admire
in individual development is hurtful
to the nation or full of peril for it's flu
ture impresses him as so prepOsterOus
and unCalled for that he cannot be
withheld from hurting a lance at 1t
whenever opportunity permits. Let
Teddy alone. He will give a good ac-
count of himself. He may be impet-
uous, he may be outspoken, he may
scorn the arts and dissimulations of
conventional political strife, but the
people know that he is candid, con-
scientious and honest. They like him
ncne the less because he is gatling
gun in energy.

1t has been demonstrated that an American

taken to establish a reduction plant as has
been done in some European cities Perhaps il
may be well to say in passing, that a reduc-
tion plant differs materially in its process Of
handling city refuse from a crcmatory. The
former obtains several products-a crude oil and
phosphate being the principal oncs-while the
slight value as a fertilizer. In operation the
crematory is less offensive than the average
reduction plant.
Although some cities collect and dispose Of
their garbage in a fairly economical manner, an
extended observation by the writer as to the rel
atiye economy and efficiency Of this method as
contTasted with the contract system, leads aim
to favor the latter, and for these reasons:
First.-Because contractors seem TO have the
faculty of getting more work out of their en-
ployes for less mqney than the municipality
Second.-Because contractors are mnhuenccd
