at a restaurant gives notice that he
doesn't want any more people to take
pity on him, and invite him to mice
family dinner He prefers the restaur-
ant to the programme usually followed
at mice family dinner" AT the last
affair of the kind dinner was an hour
late, and he hadn't the privilege of kick
ing. His steak was cooked more than
he liked. and he had to lie. and say he
preferred well done steak instead OF
roaring. He asks that no more nice
family dinners be prepared for him.

get a man that didn't need reforming.

Parallels and Contrasts.
HERE ARE some interesting
parallels and some sharp
Il contrasts between the polit-

parallels and some sharp
Il contrasts between the polit-
ical campaign now in pro.
gress in Great Britain, which has for
it's object the election of new par
our own country for the election Of an
executive and a legislature.
There Is noticeable parallel in the
fact that in each country the party
in power, which has shouldered most
difficult responsibilities to the best of
it's ability, is being attacked with
ferocity by the party out of power,
and the nature of the attack is one
of fault-tinding and savage criticism
and not the proposition of better
policy. On the other hand, contrast
Is visible between the results accom-
plished by the two parties in power
the Conservative in England and the
Republican in the United States-for
the reason that McKinley's admins
tration of the war with Spain is being
condemned for having been too sue
cessful while the complaint uttered
against Lord Sallsbury's administra-
ton of the South African war is that
it was inexcusably faulty and tardy
in it's achievements.
There is parallel in the fact that
both countries entered upon war
handicapped by a defective war ma
chinery handed down from earlier
times, rusty, creaky and inelastic.
There is a contrast in the fact that
while the Liberal, or minority party,
in England has sense enough to see
and patriotism enough to advocate
that these defects in the military es-
tablishment must be remedied at all
costs, as matter affecting the very
life of the empire, the Democratic
party in the United States howls until
blue in the face over the imaginary
dangers of "militarism" and resists all
efforts to reorganize our little regular
army so that 1t will correspond in
efficiency of system to the admitted
individual efficiency of ita- a-incompar-
able personnel.
There is parallel in the fact that
in both countries the "outs" will have
to stay out and a contrast in the fact
that while the English Liberals have
never advocated trailing their coun-
trys flag in surrender to Kruger, the
paramount issue brought forward by
the agile commander-in-ch chief of the
American Popocrats is one of capitu-
lation to the cut-throat Tagalog die
tator, Aguinaldo. In defeat Lord
Rosebery will remain figure of COM
manding influence and widespread
public esteem, for he has been phil
osophic, broad-minded, statesmanlike;
but when William Jennings Bryan
hears OH the night of Nov. 6 the Sec
ond doom of his Populistic and social
istic vagaries as registered In thun-
derous second rejection of his candi-
dacy, he can proceed TO inter his pros
poets of acquiring the presidency for
they will be extinct beyond the hope
Of resurrection.

Wants State Board
Of Arbitration


The voluntary trade tribunal act passed in the
session of 1883 should not be confounded with
laws enacted in other commonwealth providing
for state board OF arbitrators. The act Of 1883,
for which Senator Wallace stood sponsor, did not
create permanent board of arbitrators, but pro-
vided simply for temporary local board after
petition made to the county court. The weakness
OF that act lies in this, that there could not be
any arbitrators chosen unless both parties, EN-.
ployer and employe, petitioned jointly for their
appointment. True, either party by the express
terms OF the act may petition the court for the
appointment Of arbitrators, but, by express terms,
also, the court is vested with discretionary pow.
ers. In other words court OF common pleas
has the power to say that the interests of the
parties would not be beneficially affected by the
appointment of arbitrators. As matter Of his.
tory the employees never succeeded in obtaining
the signatures of their employers to joint peti.
tion for the appointment OF board OF arbitra'
tors-and the law is dead letter.
As attorney for the labor interests during the
session of 1888, called in by Senator Wallace
to assist him in the preparation and passage Of
the act. 1t was not intended for anything more
that a tentative measure, a feeler, as it were,
along the lines of more drastic laws in force
the continent Of Europe. In 1856 Massachusetts,,
New York and Iowa passed laws providing for ar.
bitration the two former enacting measures Great.
ing a permanent state board and the latter
measure somewhat like that framed by Senator
Wallace. The federal government, for the Dis.
trict Of Columbia, the states Of Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana New Jersey, Connecticut, Colorado, Cali.
fornia, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, Louisiana, Wis.
consin, North Dakota, Utah, Minnesota, Michi.
gan, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming have also
enacted measures providing for arbitration OF
labor disputes since Senator Wallace took the
initiative in 1888.
Sixteen states now have regularly constituted
state boards Of arbitration for the settlement Of
disputes between employers and employees and yet
Pennsylvania, the hotbed Of strikes and lockouts,
the land Of coal, iron oil, textiles and freight
traffic, can boast OF nothing better than tenta.
tive measure that was discredited within six
months from the day it received the approval Of
Governor Pattison. OF course, the strike in the
anthracite region will be thing of the past
before the legislators in 1901 can pass an arb.
tration law, but should we not provide for the
future?
