THE MEAT PACKERS STRIKE.

1t begins to look as if there was GO
ing to be a general tie-up of the
slaughtering business of the packing
houses of the west. At any day there
may be a strike Of all the allied pow
ers. There seems to be no prospect of
tween the plant owners and the strik-
ers. When this general strike comes
on the public will suffer because OF the
advance in price Of fresh meats. Then
the prices will soon go skyward. All
this will be brought about because the
plant owners and the employees cannot
agree.
The public may take sides in a vague,
theoretical way with one sid or the
other in such a contest, but when the
public's pocket, especially those pockets
which are pretty nearly empty all the
time, then the public begins to be ma
terially interested in the matter and
will demand that the two contending
parties settle their differences and to-
SelHSE ISHSW the supply OF nSceSSdrloS
of life.
1t was this principle, Or rather the
consequences of a general strike affect
ing a proportion Of our people, which
induced the president to take a hand in
bringing about a settlement of the great
Goa strike. He thereby saved much
suffering to hat portion Of the public
which was in no way connected with
the matters in controversy except
that a continuance of the non-working
of the mines would subject them to
great suffering for the want Of fusi.
That strike affected only one section of
the country. A continuance Of the
stoppage of h output of these meat
packing houses will be seriously felt all
over the country. There is not a town,
country village, or rural community, to
say nothing of the large. cities, east OF
the Rocky mountains which would not
be seriously affected by the closing for
any length of time of these grea;
slaughter houses.
The entire citizenship Of the country,
We may ay, is interested in h
strike-vitally interested. not advo-
Gates of the one side or the other, but
through dependence for their daily food
upon the continuance of the operation

Will Kill No More Birds.

One Of our best practical farmers
related to us the other day how he
came to change his mind about killing
birds. He said he formerly o a great
deal of pleasure with his gun and
dogs. About six months after coming
to the territory he told his wife he
would so out and kill a few quail. 1t
was about -four o'clock; so calling his
dogs he started out on his own farm.
He soon shot three quail, and his wife.
knowing that if he got thoroughly in
terested in the pursuit of game he
would be out till long after supper
time, persuaded him to come back to
the house. and they would have sup
per, when he could go again. "All
right said the farmer; Il will dress
these and we'll have them for supper"
His wife remarked on the fullness of
the craws Of the birds, and opening
one it was found packed full Of chicnh
bugs! Out OF curiosity they counted
and found over four hundred dead
chich bugs in the craw of one quail!
Said the farmer in relating the circum-
stances to US: Il just cleaned up the
gun and have not shot a bird since.
and if you'll come down to my place
of a morning or evening and see the
birds coming to my farm, you'll think
they know their frien6s."-Hennery
(Oklahoma) Clipper.

NORTHERN NEGRO VOTERS.

If the report of the position in polit-
ical matters assumed by many of the
negroes in Pennsylvania be true they
have at last come to a knowledge of
their power. 1t is said that many ne
gro voters in that state have determin-
ed to demand none of the republican
bosses for their votes. If the once
make this demand and have it granted
the negroes will soon become a serious
menace to the republican party in other
northern states than Pennsylvania.
When they find they can extort money
for their votes out of the republicans
there will be nc end to their rapacity.
They will soon come to the c%onclus-
ion that if they can get small sums for
the demanding their ballots are worth
more and the price will rise rapidly.
Furthermore successful demands of this
kind will not long be confined to the
proportionate few who first make them.
The knowledge will spread like wild
fire and soon the negro vote will COM
tirely to the republicans. In this way
the negroes will soon learn what an
influence they have in the republican
party at the north if they choose to ex-
ert it. We would like to see every
negro voter in the northern state re-
fuse to vote the republican ticket this
fall unless he is paid to do so-not be-
cause we want to see bought elections
and a debauched electorate, but in or
der to teach the republicans a whole
some lesson and to have them learn
from their own experience what kin
of voters they saddled upon the south
when they put the ballot in the hands
of every ignorant and uneducated ne
gro in that section.

NEW OFFICERS OF EIKS.
J. O'Brien, Jr., Made Exalted
RuIer-F. c. TomIinson Is Grand
Esteemed Royal knight.

Cincinnati, July 19.-While the eigh-
lent and Protective Order of Elks has
been in progress, this week the fortieth
meeting of the grand,lodge did not be-
gin until today, when morning, after
noon and night sessions were held.
The first ballot for Grand Exalted
Ruler resulted as follows:
w. ]. OBrien, Jr., of Baltimore no:
Samuel H. Needs, of Cleveland 379,
majority of O'Brien 331.
Judge OTBrien, the new grand exalt-
ed ruler, in an interview tonight stat
ed that there was nothing in the sensa-
tional rumors about extravaganza on
the part Of the past grand officers or
members of the committees He said
that every dollar had been accounted
for by the auditing committee.
Mr.. Tanning in his report said Grand
Secretary Reynolds had disregarded his
rules to such an extent that had it not
been for the armfu consequences to
the Order he would have been removed
from office.
The following officers were elected at
tonight's session:
Grand Esteemed Royal Knight-F. c.

men. It shows the loyalty Of these
men toward each other. None is Will
ing to go back to his work and leave
some of his companions u~nprovided
for. No one can criticise them for
taking this position.
On the other hand. the owners of
the plants have since the strike began
employed other men. They have CIV
en- work to persons who were idle and
were anxious TO secure employment
The latter came to their aid when they
were sorely in need of help and ran
the risk of great bodily harm or even
of losing their lives Zone has been
killed by strikers in Chicago). in order
TO secure work ard to assist their
present employers. 1t is not right
that these men should be turned
adrift at the demand of those who
gave Up their places and refused to
work.
The packing house owners proposed
to take back the strikers as vacancies
occurred. but this proposition is not
accepted by the strikers, who demand
the discharge of all the new men.
Thus We see each side standing out
for a principle which we must admit to
be correct when viewed from the
standpoint of those maintaining it.
Still these w just and proper con-
tentions prevent the settlement of the
strike and the resumption in full of
the work of h meat packing plants,
in which the public has so much in
terest and on which depends the well
fare of SO many people not directly
connected with the business.

BRICK LAYERS STRIKE.
Presence OF a Negro Non-Union
LabOrer.

Washington, July 1s.-Twenty-eight
brick-layers engaged on construction
work at the Washington army bar
racks are on strike because a nom
union colored brick layer was given
work there. Tonight the local brick
layers union, after a stormy session,
decided to give its support to the
strikers until the negro is relieved OF
his position. Taylor. the colored man,
was appointed to his position by Cap
tain John S. SewelI, OF the corps OF
engineers in charge of h work on
c~eftifcadon from the civil service
commission. he refusing to entertain
the protests OF the union men against
Taylor's employment The strikers
raise again the old question of the
government recognition of trade un-
ionism. which formed such a proTni-
nent feature of the Miller case in the
government printing office, complicat-
ed to an extent by the color line issue,
although it was insisted at the meet
ing Of the union tonight that their ac-
ton was not based at all on the
sround that Taylor was a negro.
