1t is announced that the Democratic man
ayers in Maine nave called upon the Dem
ocratic congressional to send
orators to that locality to teach the people
Democracy as it is interpreted to-day. 1t
is further announced that the committee
has called upon four Democratic members
of the House. representing Southern dis
tricts, to go and illumine the minds of the
benighted Maineites with the latest teach
ings and workings of the Democracy of
the South. This is as it should be. The
South is the stronghold of the Democracy.
But for that section the party would
scarcely have enough member to demand
the call of the yeas and nays.
Nevertheless, the sending of Democratic
apostles from the South to Maine may
nave fits embarrassments. for of all the
people in the world TO ask questions these
genuine Yankees of Maine. New Hamp-
shire and Vermont have no equals. Now.
there are some things that these people
have ideas about. They believe, for in
stance. that the Constitution of the United
States is paramount; that it declares that
all male citizens Of the United States
twenty-one years OF age shall have the
right to vote. and some person in an au-
dience is likely TO ask Mr.. Williams. OF
Mississippi. how it comes about that all
the coiored voters have been disfranchised
in his State. In Maine the voter is re-
quired TO be able TO read and write. so.

EXPENSIVE CITIZEN.
Tracy Cost More Money than He Was
Worth to the Country.
Brooklyn Eagle.

Brooklyn Eagle.
Tracy. the ~outlaw-that little word the
is put in, as If he were in reality the leader
among the country's misdemeanants-has
come TO a desired end in the State of
Washington. The end must have been nigh
as welcome to himself as it is to other
folks. There was absolutely no use for
him, and the world would nave been bet
ter off had he and others like him been
drowned in childhood. like s%uperluous pup
pies. 1t is quite possible that had this
man, while young, been removed from the
surroundings that determined him in a
career of crime. educated to know the other
and better things in the world than those
of bodily sense, stimulated into the func-
tioning of conscience, and trained to do
some manner of work that, if not of help to
his fellow-creatures, would at least re-
lieve his fellow-creatures of his support,
he might have ended his days as most
men would wish to do, and not as a hunted
criminal and suicide.
Forty thousand dollars have been spent in
running him down; $1,000 will be given to
the men who surrounded him and drove
him TO the desperate escape of a self-in-
hicted death; add to these sums his main
tenance in tails and prisons and the cost
OF trials, and IL is seen that he has been
an expensive citizen. He has killed ten
men. all better than himself, he has robbed
poor people of goods they could I'll spare,
ne mas disturbed ana WrOnged and terror
lied. and except that he had courage and
address, nothing can be said of him that is
to his credit. Yet that exceeding selfish
ness which is the foundation of all evil
enterprise has seemed heroic in some eyes,
and he has already found imitators in the
West.
But for the dawdling of the law Tracy's
later crimes would never have been COM
mitted. Had he been hanged for his first
murder he could not have perpetrated the
other nine. The heartlessness of the crea-
ture is denoted in his treachery to the COM
panion who helped him to escape from
prison and whom he shot in the back. We
hear, sometimes. of honor among thieves,
but we see how II is exemplifed. A bad
man has gone TO his account. He has had
too much mention, and will work harm,
even in his death. by melting a new output
Of sensational fiction TO be read by UNI
formed minds. Society is lax in prosecuting
the work Of education and reformation, and
the appearance of a man like Tracy makes
il seem lag i'm its duty of DESTROYING.

the South now. chiefly because operatives
can be worked twelves hours a day and
children of tender age can be employed
full hours. The proprietors of a cotton
duck factory are about 10 move 10 Georgia
because they can get about double the
work done for a dollar in that State that
they can in Connecticut. with its ten-hour
law. its labor unions and its factory doors
closed to children. Suppose, while Mr..
Livingston is assailing the trusts. some
person in his audience should ask him VIII
it was that the Democratic Legislature of
Georgia refused TO pass a law prohibiting
child labOr-white child labOr-in its cotton
mills. and why he. as a Democratic leader.
has not lifted up his eloquent voice in pro-
test against a system which. as visitors
declare, is white servitude and worse than
the slavery Of other times.
These are samples of the questions which
the down-Easter will in all likelihood put
to the Southern Democratic orators if they
shall go down to Maine to talk of the
w~ickedness of the party of Hamlin, Fes-
sender and Blaine.

friends in the village in the same way. The
mail is brought to his gate. and thus re-
lieves him OF the necessity Of a daily trip.
His relations with the blacksmith remain
unchanged. for no way has been yet de-
vised whereby that useful parsonage can
shoe a horse or mend a wagon without
having horse and vehicle present. But
these needs are not OF daily occurrence.
and so it happens that the little street or
open square which was wont 10 seem al
most crowded with horses and vehicles at
certain hours every day or on certain days
in the week now often wears a deserted
look, and the residents are conscious of a
sense of loneliness. They say, too. that
when once a man gets on a trolley car
with intent to make a purchase he
passes by the little country store and goes
TO a larger town. and that this is p%articu-
larry true Of his wife or daughter on sim
liar errand. All this is a natural but rather
curious development following the extended
use of modern conveniences. and what
remedy the village has is not plain. Its only
hope is apparently TO establish attractions
of a social or educational nature that will
offset the loss in other directions and will
draw its rural neighbors there for amuse-
ment and entertainment.

RESPONSIBILITY OF UNIONS.
P-ermanence of Labor Organizations
Influence Their status.
Chicago Journal.

Chicago Journal.
A highly interesting report comes from
London in regard to the responsibility OF
trades unions for damages inflicted upon
employers through a strike or other sus-
pension of labor. Heretofore it has been
supposed that the labor unions could not be
held liable before the law for the acts OF
their members, although such member
were acting under the general orders OF the
society.
We are not aware that the question has
yet arisen in the American courts. but in
England the principle seems TO have been
established that trades unions can be held
responsible for breaches Of the law and
compelled to pay damage for the acts Of
individual members.
a suit which extends this principle very
far is now pending in the English courts,
and its outcome is being watched with
great interest. 1t Is an action brought by
several cOliery firms against the Miners
Federation for damages caused by a cessa-
ton Of work for four successive days under
orders OF the Federation II is as though
the anthracite mine operators were bring
ing suit against the United Mine Workers
organization for s~uspending work in the
Pennsylvania mines.
There is little doubt that cases arise at
times where the unions ought TO be held
responsible for damages caused by the un-
lawful acts OF their members. one Of the
nrSt ana OlueSt principles or the common
law is that there is no wrong without a
remedy. and If men are wrOnged and in
jured by others there should be some means
open to them whereby they can obtain
reparation.
A serious question has always been, how
ever, whether voluntary societies, like the
labor unions. can sue or be sued at law.
and, II we are not mistaken. the tendency
OF the American courts has been 10 hold
that they cannot Nevertheless the labor
unions are so permanent In their character
and have such well-dehned limits and pur-
poses. while their acts involve such
enormous interests and are so far-reaching
in their scope, that there ought TO be some
way Of bringing them 20 a sense Of their
responsibility. They should be held 10 the
same accountability as though they We're
corporations. and IL would be far better
for them and for the community al large IL
that should be the ultimate decision OF the
courts.
When men understand that they are
legally as well as morally accountable for
+ their acts they are apt TO govern them
selves with more wisdom and conservatism
than If they felt that no money penalty
could be exacted from them, no matter
what happened.

Ito see how extensively pack mules are
used IN Cuba. l declare. / believe III a man
should happen TO want a ship carried
across the islands he'd put II on mules.
That reminds me OF the horrible way IN
which Spain treated the Cubans. After
generations OF sovereignty there was not a
road on the island. Think OF this; BetWeen
SlbOney and Santiago there was not a road
there was not a schoolhOuse on the Island.
Could you blame the Cubans for desiring

house in the interior. His lumber was
shipped TO a seaport and he hired fifty
mules to carry il back First was the bell
mule. with a few boards on each side. Tied
TO his tail was another mule. with a few
boards on each of his sides, and SO on were
fifty mules strung out. and I'll wager that
the whole fifty didn't tote more than 1000
feet Of lumber. That's another result OF
Spanish rule-no railroads.
IF a planter in the interior wanted 10

have TO hire 100 mules and make five trips,
each mule carrying two sacks OF sugar
each trip. Think of the expense Of such a
system. And speaking OF sugar reminds
me Of the question of Cuban reciprocity. !
can tell you after four years experience IN
the island that a reduction in tariff by this
government will be of little or no benefit
to the Cuban himself.
"Wha the Cuban must do is TO diversity
his crop. He must raise oranges. bananas
pineapples and other tropical fruits. and
not think sugar and tobacco are the only
things which grow on the island. Cuban
pinea pples are the finest that grow and the
bananas and oranges are excellent. Tn
trouble is the people don't know they ear
raise fruit. No one has ever done il and
Cubans never do anything original OF thai
character. They must be shown that fruit
can be raised and then they must be showr
how to can it or preserve ii, and thus bt
able to market il.
THE Cuban sugar and tobacco industries
will be great industries when conditions II
the island become settled, but the man witt
little or no capital will be unable TO engage
in either. Therefore. he must find some
thing else to do at which he can make hi:
living. Just now conditions in Cub are
unsatisfactory. but / have faith i'm the PEG
