the prevailing anthracite coal strike.
| Enforced arbitration, which is now uni
versal in the Australian Confederation,
has not been accepted by American
public sentiment and is fought most
| bitterly by the representatives of or
ganized labor, as involving a possible
restraint upon the freedom of action Of
men who may have decided to strike.
| President Gompers, of the American
| Federation of Labor, in the last issue
of the official organ of that body, pub
| fishes a very forcible article, in which
| he seeks to place the responsibility
| fairly and fully on the shoulders of
| the employers, who insist, as the coal
operators are now insisting, that they
will brook no outside interference.
President Gompers goes a step fur
ther in his contention and insists that
| the representatives of organized labor
| in all cases of disagreement represent
the general public, and by their unfail-
| ing demand for arbitration in such
cases invoke the right of society to
| protection.
President Gompers makes strong
case, but it is not strong enough to
overcome the essential fact that Wher-
ever the responsibility is to be fixed
society at large in such cases is help
less and must quietly endure the in
! juries which come from industrial dis
| agreement.

AN UNPROTECTED PUBLIC.

The prevailing strike in Chicago
brings out in strong relief the helpless
ness of society in such situations. Let
the responsibility rest where it may,
the immediate parties to the controver-
sy are least seriously affected of all
the interests concerned. Millions of
dollars worth of fruit and other per-
1shable property is being destroyed
wholesale merchants in all lines of
trade are obliged to suspend business.
The vast variety of industries which
are dependent upon the railroads, the
merchants and the workingmen i'm
mediately affected by the strike, are
made to suffer injury of the extent of
which nobody knows or ever will know
but themselves. According to the lat
est information rioting of extended
proportions is not unlikely.
This is the second city of the United
States Whatever the disagreement
may be or whatever the merits or de-
merits of the claims of those who are
in disagreement the general public
knows nothing, and may be said to care
less. Both by the railroads and the
men the affair is accepted as one which
concerns themselves alone. The rail-
roads insist that they are in a position
to do the public's business if the pub
lie will bring the business to them.
and thus cast the responsibility for
the situation upon those who have abb
solutely nothing whatever to do with it.
T h e G o b has repeatedly reverted
to the barbarism of situation which
thus leaves the general public unpro-
tected and helpless as the outcome Of
a purely personal disagreement among
those engaged in Industrial life
and has urged the adoption of
some plan of legislation which would
render such a shameful state of things
| impossible. The National Civic FEEDER
alton has been called into existence in
recognition of the public helplessness

erty owners and the safety of the citi-
zen in his personal and property rights
must be safeguarded in every way pos
sible. The representatives of the rail-
road are asked to pay special local
assessments and the railroad represent
atives announce their readiness to do
so with some limitations.
The spirit of mutual accommodation
is the one out of which satisfactory
adjustment can alone grow between
the railroads and the city. Every
thing done in the premises must be
done openly and publicly. The inva-
sion of private or public rights involv-
ed in giving the right of access to the
city must be understood and properly
estimated. The common council has
that duty to perform In the first in

out throwing any unnecessary obstruc-
ton in the path of the incoming rail-
road the Common Council ought to in

the safeguarding of the public inter-

THE ROCK ISLANDS ADVENT.

The people of st. Paul are heavily
burdened in many respects on account
of the criminal disregard of their rep
resentatives in Office in the past, of
their rights in the bestowaI of public
privileges and franchises. We have
learned a great deal by experience in
this direction during the past tenyears
We have so amended our organic law
that such criminal thriftlessness can
not again be resorted to on behalf of
public service corporations. Hereafter
they will get from our representatives
in local Office only what they have
paid substantial equivalent for.
Of course we have been compensa-
ted in large measure by the vaststrides
which the community has made in
greatness in the intervening years.
When those franchises were bestowed
they did not possess a 1.-THE of the sub
stantial productive value which they
have today and in the work done un-
der them no doubt the city has gained
materially, whereas a policy which
would today be regarded as protective
Oh the public interests would then be
fairly prohibitive of urban develop
ment. The lessons we have learned
however, will remain with us, and the
public sentiment of st. Paul will al
ways operate to prevent the inconsid-
crate bestowal of public rights or ease
ments upon either individuals or cor
porations.
The advent of the Rock Island rail-
road naturally brings up thoughts of
this description to the mind of every
public-spirited and observant man.
What is it this railroad wants? What
public privileges can be conferred up
on 1T with advantage to the CITY and
what ought to be withheld from it out
OF considerations of public safety. The
railroad in question seeks admission to
the city. 1t has purchased it's right of
way and 1t has secured it's terminal
Facilities in the same way. 1t nat,1r-
ally seeks to be invested with the nriv-
lege of running over and across public
thoroughfares. This is an unavoidable
incident to Its establishment here.
The gain to the city of this grand
addition to the number of steam rail-
ways will be concededly great. The
Inconvenience, danger or disadvan-
tage in any direction which will come
to citizens from the utilization of
those streets is not worthy to be con-
sidered in connanfinn with the results

A GAIN TO CHINA.

Ordinarily, the removal of a distin-
| guished and able diplomat like Mr. WI
Ting Fang would be a subject of re-
greet on the part of the people and the
nation with which he was associated.
In the present case however, the
American people will rejoice at the re-
moval by his government of Minister
| WI.
The recognition of Mr.. Wus ability
| is universal among the American peo-
| pie. Even those to whom he gave
grave offense by his opposition to the
exclusion law, enacted at the last ses-
sion of congress, willingly concede
both his courage and ability. He will
be succeeded by one of his country
men who is familiar with Western po-
| litical and social life. That successor
has evidently been chosen as a distinct
compliment to the American people,
and is one expression of the very evil
dent purpose on the part of those now
| in authority in China to recognize the
great national value of the attitude as
sumed by the United States in the re-
| cent strife in China.
The work to which Minister WI is
| assigned may also be accepted as in
recognition of Chinas obligation to the
United States. He returns to China
for the purpose of codifying the laws
| of Europe and America. His state
ments since the announcement of his
removal show plainly that he regards
that work and his future activity as
certain to be bestowed upon the devel-
opment of the progressive modern
spirit in his native land. He is quoted
as declaring that he hopes to aid in
| the development of China by encour-
more railroads and having better
newspapers. No more valuable influ-
ence of a purely educational character
could be brought to bear upon the
China of today. than the activity of
Minister WI in such directions.
The aim of the American people
with reference to China is clearly the
betterment of the condition of it's peo-
pie. 1t has not been one merely of
forcing upon an unwilling race new
standards of civilization. Underlying
it all has been the idea that by the
development of the vast resources OF
the empire and the placing of China on
the highways of modern trade and
commerce unfortunate social and eco
nomic conditions could be bettered
and the lot of the great masses of the
people elevated to something like the
standards of comfort and enlighten-
ment which prevail IN civilized coun-
tries.
The Chinese government may, in the
light of recent events, be rightfully re-
garded as accepting the inevitable. The
return of Minister WI, the appoint
ment of Minister LANG Chen Tung,
and, indeed, the entire policy of the
imperial authorities since the accepted
withdrawal of European troops from
Tien Tsin, all go to establish that
China is about to take her place among
the progressive nations of the world.

TRACY'S COMRADE
Is FOUND MURDERED.
Confirmation of the Story of the Duel
Dead Man Had Been Shot In
the Back.

CHEHALIS, Wash, July 15.-The body
of David Merrill, who escaped from the
Oregon penitentiary with Harry Tracy
on June 8, has been found. A bullet
wound in the back reveals the nature of
his death and substantiates the story told
by Tracy about the duel in the forest.
The remains were in a somewhat advance
ed stage Of decomposition, but were still
recognizable.
The last time Merrill was seen in COM
pany with Tracy was on June 26, in Turn
water canyon, when both escaped their
pursuers. Later, Tracy told that he had
killed his comrade unfairly in duel.
TACOMA, Wash, July ia special

rill was found by a Mrs. Wagner and her
twelve-h our-old son of Napavine, yester-
day, and she will claim the reward of
$3.50. While picking berries they dis

and jammed between two tree stumps a

MARIETTA ORDERED

Operations Are Regarded as Serious at

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 15.-The
Marietta wharved at Kingston, ia
maica, today from Cape Haytien, was

dispatched from the navy department
yesterday ordering her to proceed to
La Guayra, Venezuela, in response to
Minister Bowen's appeal yesterday for
an additional ship in those waters. The
operations of the revolutionists and
the government troops are now rather
critical at several points, and although
two American warships already are
in Venezuelan waters, another may be
needed for prompt communication.

Guayra Sunday, arrived today at Cura-

ings and held her front while the Gro

was great excitement aboard the war
vessel. The collision was unexpected,
and naturally enough the crew were
demoralized by the abruptness of the
thrilling event. Splinters and ribs and
flooring of the decks flew and threshed
about and the air was full of debris.

Commander Winder, of the Michigan,
estimates the loss at $4,000. This in
cludes the running of two six-pound
Drigg- Schroeder rapid-f1re guns of an
improved pattern and a whaleboat val
ued at $500. Commander Winder at
once wired the navy department at
Washington of the accident, and says
the ship will be out of commission sew
eral months while undergoing repairs.
The ship received no damage below the
water line and her engines also escap-
ed damage and she returned to her
dock under her own steam after the
accident.

moving toward a fuel dock near the
Michigan's berth and he signaled to
reverse the engines. Instead Murray
gave full speed ahead.
