The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1902-06-10

THE Democratic party is coming to
ITS senses once more. This is indicated
day by day by the talk of its Headers,
the writings Of It's statesmen and the
publications within it's press. The party
has tired of wandering after strange
zgods and returning to the ideas of its
patriarchial fathers Its way grows
brighter as its mind clears up and when
it again comes to its own in November
which it will surely do-the people
within and without the fold will have
great cause for rejoicing So may this

the new republic comes into existence,
which will be May 20. American in
terests In the island are such as to re-
quire that our diplomatic and consular
representatives be on hand when the
machinery Of the Cuban government
shall be put in operation. so that the re-
lations between the two governments,
as provided for in the Plat amendment
and accepted by the Cuban constitu-
tiOnal convention, shall receive promptly
whatever consideration may be neces-
sary. There is nothing in this matter
that should excite partisan opposition.
There is an international duty and obi
CATION to be performed in the proper
performance of which all our people
should feel an interest, irrespective Of
political utilization. 1t is certainly not
apparent what could be gained by the
democrats in attempting to embarrass
the administration in the matter.
The recommendations made by the
president are j%udicious and a bill to
carry them into effect should be.
promptly passed. so that the president
will have ample time in which to select
the men who will represent the United
States in the Cuban republic.

The sham reform organ Of these parts
appeals to Governor Savage and the
other members OF the State Board OF
Equalization to carry the letter and
spirit of the law In the Assessment Of
Nebraska railroad property. The board
Is reminded that the statute under
which 1t is acting provides that the
roads shall be assessed at their actual
value, and their actual value, according
to the standard laid down by Prof.
Bemls, is the market value of the stocks
and bonds. In view OF the fact the
other taxable property In Nebraska is
assessed at 20 to rs per cent, it is sug-
gested that the same ratio be applied to
the railroads.
This undoubtedly is the intent Of the
law, but it is passing strange that the
sham reform organ did not press the
strict enforcement Of the law when the
fusion reformers were at the helm of
the state government. 1t is a matter
Of notoriety that the railroad assess
ments in Nebraska under the populist
BONNlhOA "NAO " IMAM my hdh DNNth
under republican predecessors, nOtwith-
standing substantial improvements and
increase of rolling stock. 1t is also a
matter of notoriety that the failure of
the popullsts to redeem their pledges
In regard to railroad taxation lost their
candidates thousands OF votes.
But the organ of sham reform has
made a reputation for ex post facto
grand stand play. When its own party
Is in power 1t winks at the most fla
grant abuses, condones extravaganza
and keeps silence about broken pledges,
but when its party is out Of power it
clamors for greater economy, denOunces
subservience to corporations and insists
upon the rigid execution of laws. 1t
is this policy of making flesh of one and
fish Of another that stamps the utter
ances of the popOcratic organ with in
sincerity and destroys whatever force
they might have.
More equitable taxation of railroad
property has for years been demanded
by the people Of Nebraska. The Bee
has voiced this sentiment consistently
without regard to political effects when
republicans were in power and when
populists held the state house.

BANKRUPTCY Law REFORM.

The business interests that are dlssat-
isf1ed with some features of the bank
ruptcy law and have been urging
changes in the act appear likely to Sc
cure what they desire. The matter has
been under consideration by the house
judiciary committee, which will propose
several important amendments. One of
these protects innocent transactions like
payments between debtor and creditor
up to the moment of bankruptcy; an
other modifes the present second OBJ
lection to a discharge and adds four
more objections to discharge; a third
amendment confers Jurisdiction on the
federal district courts concurrently with
the state courts of suits to recover prop
erty of the bankrupt and a fourth
amendment regulates the bankruptcy of
corporations by making the application
for a receivership an act of bankruptcy
by permitting certain corporations to
become voluntary bankrupts and by
adding mining corporations to those
amenable to bankruptcy. Other changes
are proposed, but the above are the most
material.
An informal vote of the house judi
clary committee, taken to decide upon
the best course to be followed, dis
closed the fact that -four of its men,
bers favored the reporting of a bill for
the repeal Of the law. There is un-
doubtedly a considerable sentiment ia
vorable to repeal, though it is safe to
say that a majority of the business men
of the country do not take this view. 1t
is quite probable, however, that opposi-
ton to the law will grow If it shall not
be changed in respects which experience
with it's operation has shown to be de-
sirable. We believe that a large ma
jority of intelligent merchants regard
a national bankruptcy law as essential
and would earnestly oppose its aband-
onment, but they are dissatisfied with
certain features of the present law and
have urged their removal or correction.
Ii this demand is needed by congress
no doubt much of the hostility to the
law will disappear.

CHINA MAY R~ETALLATE.

1t is very probable that the proposed
drastic legislation for the exclusion of
the Chinese will be adopted, the bill I'M
der consideration in the senate being
substantially the same as the one which
passed the house. 1t has been proposed
in the senate to extend the operation of
the existing law during the period COW
expires in December, 1904. 1t is urged
that this would be the easiest way out
Of the Chinese difficulty and pending
the expiration of the treaty in 1904 an
other convention could be negotiated
with China in regard to exclusion and
legislation passed in accord with such
treaty. The suggestion Is to simply
continue present conditions for two and
a half years longer, instead of pursuing
a purse that rs likely to prove very of
fensive to China, now exceedingly
friendly toward the United States.
There is very small chance, however, If
any, of this proposition being adopted.
The possibility of retaliation on the
part VI Cnlud 10 pTSJLy BeueTdly TtC-
ognized, though 1t has no effect upon the
extreme advocates of exclusion. Our
cotton manufacturers, particularly in
the south, feel that there is danger of
retaliation. This was shown in what
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
said In his remarks on the pending bill.
He stated that he expected to vote for
the measure, but was reluctant to do
so because the cotton manufacturers OF
his state and the south generally were
appealing against it's enactment, fearing
that it will lead to retaliation and that
their market in the Orient might be
checked If not destroyed.
While the Chinese government might
not adopt a policy Of retaliation, it is
by no means unlikely that the mer.
| chants Of China would do so, which
would be quite as effective against our
trade with that empire as action by the
government. 1t cannot be doubted that
the Chinese merchants would be ell.
couraged to do this by our trade rivals.
This danger In connection with the ex.
IRENE exclusion policy may prove to be
more serious than is now a~pprehended

RIGHTS OF UNION LABOR
Significant Decision OF the few York
Court of Appeals.

II is refreshing to read the sound, log

held therein has been consistently defended

operative and concerted action. II 10 a
mistake to construe the decision as sustain
ing the right TO strike. No one disputes
the existence Of this right and courts OF
appeal do not waste their time on demon
s~trating universally accepted maxims.
The New York case involved a deeper
question. Have men organized in a local or
national union the right to demand Of an
employer the discharge OF nonunion men
and enforce this demand by a threat to
strike? Superficial persons Jump at a mega
tive conclusion. No. they say. the union
men may not so threaten, for the nom
unionists are entitled to earn a livelihood
and the employer is free to engage anyone
he sees ft. Which is perfectly true and
wholly irrelevant.
Granting the right TO organize and the
legal right to strike for any reason Tor no
reason), 1t follows that "a labor organIza-
tion lie endowed with precisely the same
legal right as an individual to threaten to
do that which it may lawfully do" You
may not threaten violence or intimidation.
because it would be criminal to carry out
the threat. You may, however. threaten
anything which you have a legal right to
execute. A denial OF these propositions
leads to absurdity.
To quote the appellate court:

from the. findings. wanted to put their men

lawful manner. The determined that II II
were necessary they would bear the burden
and expense of a strike to accomplish that
result, and in so determining they were
clearly within their rights.
The employer. on the other hand. had the
right to refuse to discharge the nonunion
men-and take the consequences. To say
that union men must work with nonunion
men is clearly nonsense, and 1t Is equally
irrational to say that they may not, as a
condition OF remaining in the employers
services, ask the dismissal OF persons OBJ
noxious to them. The wisdom or necessity
of such demands is not a question for legis-
latures or courts.
II is hardly necessary to point out that
nonunion men have the same right to de-
cline to work with unionists and that en-
ployers have the right to select their work
men from either class. On the subject OF
threats and "conspiracies' there Is great
confusion of thought, and the New York de-
cislon is a notable contribution to a con-
sistent and enlightened philosophy of indus
trial relations.

Governor JEFF Davis of Arkansas, seems
disposed to twist the knife around now
that he has 1t buried in the vitals Of Sena-
tor James X. Jones. He has just written
a letter and sent 1t to all his friends say
ing: Don't let a Jones man come to the

friends, in my judgment, would thwart any
proposition l might entertain. 1 want a
platform written by the next state conven-

mistake it and that will commit the party

all trusts and combines that are inimical
to the welfare Of the people" Senator
Jones' political enemies are evidently not
satisfied with burying him. They propose
to execute a war dance over his grave.
