the common law is that there is no
wrong without a remedy, and if men
are wronged and injured by others
there should be some meats open to
them Whereby they can obtain repara-
ton.
"A serious question has always been.
however. whether voluntary societies.
like the labor unions. can sue or be sued
at law, and, if we are not mistaken, the
tendency of the American court has
been TO hold that they can not. Never
theless the labor unions are so perma-
nent in their character and have such
wel-defined limits and purposes, while
their acts involve such enormous in
terests and are so far-reachinS in their
scope, that there ought to be some way
of bringing them to a sense of their
responsibility. They should be held
to the same accountability as; tho they
We're corporations, and it wolld be far
better for them and for the community
at large if that should be the ultimate
decision of the courts.
There is good reason in what the
Journal says. and it is difficult to es
cape its logic. Whether the public
would be benefited in the end by the
adoption of such a policy is a question
still on debatable ground

comPENsATlNG ADVANTAGES.

Iowa is emerging from the wet period
IA much better condition than fright
ned citizens feared, according to evil
lences all around us. 1t is true there
has been much loss of crops in various
pcalities and along water courses, but
here are indications of compensating
advantages, and it is quite probable
hat the hand of plenty will be visible
his fall in the Hawkeye state dispen-
Wing the usual number of the rewards
If industry. Under the bright sun the
landscape of Iowa never looked fairer
han it does today, with its wealth of
green.
While floods have done much damage
and may leave many pools and wet
thorough cleaning, such as has not oc-
CURED for many years. Some adNan-
tage ought to and will be derived from
this wholesale cleansing. The forest
areas have received a needed soaking,
and the benefit is already manifest. For
number of years trees have not thrived
as they should because of the dIyness
of the ground. In fact, many We're dy-
ing out. Now they have received a
needed impetus. Foliage was never
heavier and growth is developing rap
idly. The cattle on thousand hills are
waxing fat and stock of all kinds is in
better condition than during the last
seasons dry period. The pasturage
tracts have received an incalculable
benefit from the heavy rains. 1t will
enable the grass roots to delve deeper
into the soil. making them stronger and
more prolific, and benefits will cover a
series of years. In fact, in many ways
what was feared would prove loss will
be turned to advantage.
1t is already apparent that thru the
aid of floods the big fish in rivers have
been able to get above obstructing
dams, and the lone fisherman will rise
up and call the event blessed one.
Another thing might be cited: 1t has
knocked all the theories of dry seasons
as result of mans folly into a cooked
hat; and has led many TO reflect that
mother earth is much the same as in
centuries past.

THE PRIZE FIGHT.

Prize fighting is prohibited by law in
nearly all the states, because Of its de-
moraiizing tendency to encourage bru-
taity and gambling and all the baser
passions. In an assembly gathered to
see an exhibition of this manly" sport
will be found all the gamblers and
thugs who can get there, sad tho the
confession may be. 1t is not so much
that the better classes condemn pugi-
lism in itself, as for the tendency of
such contests to degenerate into the
lowest forms of sporting and brutality.
In fact, ii such contests could be con-
Quoted along wholesome lines. no more
interesting game of athletics could be
devised.
Even now the people take the great
est interest in this sport under present
conditions, while condemning the sur
roundings and accessories. Many of
them have looked forward to this con-
test and have become partisans of one.
or the other of the pugilists, and they
will read every line in the daily press
giving detailed description of the var
ious rounds fought, and the skill eXhib-
tied in knocking the unfortunate COM
Blatant out. Oh, no. they do not believe
in it, as now conducted, but just the
same they find something in this man
ly" sport that appeals to them in very
taking way. In this last contest the
fact that Jeffries knocked out Titzsm-
mons will be the topic that will engage
the attention of hosts of people for the
next few days.
Boxing is a very ancient sport and
aroused the enthusiasm of thousands
before it fell into the disrepute that in
yoked the law against it. AS its whole
tendency is now demoralizing there is
not much prospect that the ban against
it will be removed.

Beach was the guest last evening of the
lord mayor and city bankers and mer-
chants at a farewell dinner II the Man
sion house In an address dealing With
national finance the chancellor said
that the Chinese and South African
wars had cost Great Britain & 22S.o00

have already willingly contributed
GTo.000.00p. The exenditure had been
borne without serious injury to COM
merce. and O,0O0.000 had been bor-
rowed on easy terms. which Great Bli-
tain's continental neighbors envied, but
could not initiate. Next year Sir Mi
chael Hicks Beach said he looked for 4

his hearers against The constant growth
of national expenditure, urging that
preparations ought to be made for a
day of adversely and that the revenue,
tho increasing, should not be impaired

The Great Work of Congress.

New YORK commercially
Notwithstanding the sins of omis-
sion made by the first session of the
Fifty seventh congress, it holds the
record for long sessions and in the
number of bills introduced by the mem
bers. The number of bills presented
was 1858, against 1889 in the first
session of the last congress, which
had exceeded any previous congress
in its attempted legislation. 1t sat
$50 days, against 139 days devoted by
the Fifty-siN congress to business,
and passed 1,4S4 bills, which is the
largest number ever passed by a SIM
liar body Had the fifteen thousand
and more bills introduced found theil
way to the statute books the public
printer would have had grand col
lection of books to add to the library
of the nation. For saving us from
such an infection we owe that gather

LIABILITY OF LABOR UNIONS.

In view of the national interest in
the anthracite strike in this country,
and the certainty that it affects not
only the miners and the operators, but
the public also, in financial way, a
very interesting report comes from
London in regard to the responsibility of
trades unions for damages inflicted up
on employers in England thru d strike
or other suspension of labor. Laws and
decisions governing the actions of these
organizations have reached more adj
yanced stage in Great Britain than in
our nation, and the principle seems to
have been established that trades
unions can be held responsible for
breaches of the law and compelled to
paw damages for the acts of individual
members.
A suit which extends this principle
very far is now pending in the English
courts, and it's outcome is being
watched with great interest. 1t is an
action brought by several colliery firms
against the Miners federation for dam
ages caused by cessation of work for
four successive days under orders of
the federation.
The Chicago Journal, in referring to
this case says:
There is little doubt that cases arise
at times where the unions ought to be
held responsible for damages caused by
the unlawful acts of their members.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

1
ion that THE republican that is not
brave enough to declare for what he
knows to be right. to plant himself in
/ the right and fight for it, is n mighty
poor republican, and never entitled to
/ confidence" In another paragraph the
Star urges: Let the republican state
convention make sure Of no step back
ward. The plank enacted last year re-
garding protection exactly covers eX-
listing conditions, and should be re-
enacted now.
The Red Oak Republican remarks
that "The custom, becoming quite COM
mon with Iowa republicans. of nomi-
mating congressman for the 'teenth time
must be very popular With a select
few. 1t is SO rich in possibilities for
the younger NJ. C.'s..
TT is to be hoped" says the Sioux City
week will bring the Cedar Rapids plat
form down to date; and that means
among other things, that the conven-
ton will not run around the Cuban
question:
The Tama Herald says: THE repub-
lican party implicitly believes in the
doctrine of protection, but it does not
believe in proffering protection where
it is not needed. 1t never did believe in
such an indefensible doctrine nor will
it be beguiled into taking such ar illog-
ical position in the future"
In noticing that q New York paper
speaks of Congressman Cousins as a
probable successor to Senator Allison
when he gets thru, the Teledo Chronicle
suggests that lit is Well to keep AN eye
