ON WHICH STDEP

Just what do the members of the building
trades unions who met at Cooper Union on
Thursday night mean by their denunciation of
the guardsmen who keeping order in Al
bany: DO they mean to make public avowal
of sympathy with lawlesspes5 and desire for
anarchy? Do they mean TO say that their
friends and fellow labor uniOnists are the riot
ers who have made life and property unsafe
and attempted 10 render the streets impossible
for those who do nOt agree with them concern
ing the conduct of the street railway business =?
DO they mean TO admit that the declaration of
the Albany strikers that they are peaceful law
abiding citizens, not engaged in fomenting dis
order nor responsible for the disorderly acts Of
the vicious elements who commit crimes in
their name, is false? No other construction can
be placed upon their display of hatred toward
the soldiers who merely doing their duty
in upholding the laws which all good citizens
agree must be enforced If complete anarchy is
not 10 reign.
Organized labor must face this question
squarely. Either it approves violence, counts
on violence as an instrument for the attain
ment Of its ends or else it believes in law, has
no sympathy with those who break it and con
sequently regards friends those who uphold
IT. 1t cannot be the sincere friend of order and
the enemy of the public authorities who main
tain order. Ii cannot escape responsibility for
n mob when il allies itself with the mob by de-
nOuncing those who suppress it. With the SYM
pathy of organized labor for the Albany strikers
no fault Is TO be found Such sympathy is
natural, and can be respected even by those
who may think the strikers in the wrong But
sympathy with the strikers and sympathy with
the rioters whom the strikers disavOw are two
different things. The man who considers him
self wronged by the presence of the guardsmen
in Albany is really n friend of anarchy under
whatever specious phrases he may seek to dis
guse the fact. On which side is organized
labor: Is it at heart for anarchy or is it for
law and order?

PERSONAL.

1t has been suggested that the old house in
Raleigh. n, c., which was the birthplace and
home os President Andrew Johnston be acquired by
the city and made museum.
Emile olivier. who recently received Emile Fau-
get into the French Academy, was never received
officially into that body himself. He was elected
In 1870 to succeed Lamartne. but the Prussian war
and his unlucky phrase about entering on the war
with a light heart made il necessary to postpone
the reception. which never came off.
Hubbard Il. Mcdonald, the journal clerk of the
United States Senate is credited with being the
ahlest parltamentarian connected with that body
He is the third of his family hold the place his
father and grandfather having preceded him. His
business is to sit close to the presiding officer and
Keep MN from falling into parliamentary pitfalls
He reports that of all the Vice Presidents he has
coached In his twenty-five years experience Mr.
Roosevelt is much the hardest to keep in line.
The Rev. Mr. Pearson, the clergyman who was
elected Sheriff of Cumberland County Portland).
Me- after having been nominated a joke by the
Hquor men, has been a source OF unendng trouble
to them ever since. His rigid enforcement of the
fIohbitlon law has. il is said. resulted in offer
or a large sum If he will resign go Europe
and remain there until his term shall have ex-
pired.

TOO COSTLY A PLAN.

1t is gratifying news that the promoters Of
the hugely expensive plan to lay out broad
approaches to the New East River Bridge from
the vicinity of the Cooper Union have become
discouraged and do not now believe that the city
authorities can be persuaded 10 adopt so ambi-
tOus n scheme. Manhattan has many for
midable enterprises on it's hands already and is
committed beyond peradventure TO the outlay
of so many hundreds Of millions OF dollars
ments that the taxpayers were seriously
alarmed when II was proposed to spend so
much public money on broad new street from
the neighborhoOd of the Cooper Institute to the
new bridge
Municipal resources not infinite and there
is n constitutional debt limit. Moreover unpleas-
ant rumOrs have been rife that certain Tam
many politicians who were favored with early
hints as TO this enterprise made such real estate
investments or obtained such options that their
profits if this Cooper Union boulevard had been
decided upon would have brought them fort
unes. In the Tweed times favOrites of the ring
amaSSed abundant riches by means of advance
information concerning public improvements.
They bought land and buildings at low prices
and sold them to the city with gains of many
hundreds per cent in n comparatively short
similar jobbery the part of several Tam
many pets might have been successful had the
design of the long, broad new thOroughfare as
the Manhattan approach TO the New East River
Bridge been adopted.

LIBERTY AND LABOR UNIONS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Have the labor unions of this country lost
sight of the fact thai the of 1776 fought
that Americans might enjoy the blessings OF lib
erty? Again. the War of the Rebellion fought
that there might be slaves in this country. but
that the people whether white black. might en-
joy freedom under the law. Yet to-day the bless
irss of liberty are denied TO our citizens. In the
city OF Albany. If the strikers should succeed and
establish the rule that none but members OF the
labor union to be allowed to work. may not
fear that labor organizations may soon go further
and say that none but Americans, none but
Irishmen, none but Presbyterians. or none but
Catholics secure employment? All this will
logically follow.
Have fight for liberty again. that some
people may know that. is a slave. and
Is Obliged TO work. in this country. no
man combination of men shall prevent a
from working IL he will he may have op-
portunity?
Supply and demand with common sense must
regulate the value of labor II does other values
in this country, ese bOasted freedom is
LahOring should be the first 70 realize the dam
OF resortlns to force of violating the law OF
country. A WORKINGMAN.

10 of her people. Great Britain has long been
one of the least army ridden States of Europe
yet even she has one soldier to every 225 citi-
zens. In Japan the proportion is in 800
And If we come TO hemisphere we find
our southern neighbors maintaining larger
standing armies, proportiOnatey, than We
Chili's ratio being in $50 and Brazls one
In $50.
So the fact is that with this increase of the
army this country remains by far least given
to 'militarism" of all important nations in the
wOrld-and. indeed. so much less given to it
than the least militant of all other comparable
powers as TO be quite out of comparison with
it. One soldier in a thousand. 1t is one land

ONE SOLDIER ~ A TnOESAND.

The reorganization of the United States Army.

week been announced. We do not venture to
hope that il will altogether put an end TO the
ridiculous chatter about militarism. There Is
nothing harder 10 suppress than folly Indeed.
II may be that the announcement will give n
certain stimulating flip to that particular kind
OF nonsense. The changes may be rung upon
the fact that the army is thus made three times
as large as ii was few years ago and lurid
pictures may be painted of those 772S7 men

subjecting the average citizen TO the condition
of a serf

IN comparison with that which represents the
populationHf this country it is insignificant 1t
is smaller than that of the population of any
