Charges Against Western Union.

| Nnar9eS against western union.
That the New York Office of the West
ern Union Telegraph company has
made a practice Of supplying private
wires to pool rooms and gambling re-
sorts at special high rates was dis
closed to the City club by Captain God
dard Of the New York police, who, in
conjunction with the officials of the
club, trapped the Western Union Of
ficials into furnishing a gambling serv-
ice at special rates to a dummy ap-
plicant. The incident has caused a
great stir because of the prominence
Of the Western Union directors, whose
names have been published in all the
papers. Thus a distinct issue in civic
morality has been drawn. Will these
wealthy Christian gentlemen do any
thing toward stopping a practice of
this kind. Notwithstanding that it
brings in a large revenue?

Hungarian Strike Spreads.

The strike which tied up the state
railway system of Hungary last week
and paraIyzed the business of the
country began to develop serious con-
.Micts as soon as the government en-
RlOyed new men to take the place Of
&he strikers. Telegraph lines ware cut,
~rails torn up and cars robbed. A very
few trains were sent out from Buda-
pest manned by soldiers and railway
officials. Finally a royal decree was
ISSUED calling out the army reserves to
assist in operating the railroads. Sew
Rral of the strike leaders were arrested,
and all were ordered to report for mil
4tary service. A great many of the
men under these circumstances decided
10 return to work. A serious riot &C.
cHrred at Elesd, in which twenty-three
OF the strikers were killed and more
than forty wounded by a volley from
the police. A Socialist first shot and
KILLED the police commander. The So
cialists throughout the country began
Agitating for general uprising. Nus
merOus other strikes have been begun

PLUCKY PREACHER,

One PENNSYLVANIA preacher has
" the right spirit. He had labored
among his flock for years, but the
time came when he ceased TO please
a strong element in. his church. At
last the dissatisfied ones secured
enough votes 10 bring about his dis
charge. 4 new pastor was chosen and
came with his family to town, going
straight to the parsonage. There he
found the old pastor installed. He was
net. too, by the announcement that
the old pastor would remain until the
church had paid him salary arrears
amounting to $3.50.
The new pastor went to n hotel and
there he is staying at the present writ
ing. for the church, though abundantly
able to do so, has not yet paid the
first preacher all the money that is
coming to him. We hope the reverend
with the pugnacious spirit will hold
on until he gets the last dollar OF his
due The debt is an honest one and
should be paid. Failing to be paid, the
preacher has a right 20 live in the
parsonage until the rent amounts to
as much as is coming to him.
Some people seem 10 labor under the
impression that preachers can live
without money. The Pennsylvania man
proposes to disabuse their minds Of the
theory.

l. bered. if at all, chiefly for his lead
orship of the great railway strike of
1885,. a strike that ended most disas-
trously for the workingmen involved
went out of his way the other day to
say unkind. unpleasant and untrue
things about John Mitchell, president OF
the United Mine Workers. Almost in
so many words Debs made the charge
that Mitchell is secretly allied with the
enemies Of organized labor though he
IS the official head Of one OF the strong
est labor organizations in the country.
As an instance Debs cited the fact
that Mitchell advised the soft coal min
ers against a strike some weeks ago,
when they were confronted with a re-
duction in wages. with a strike as the
only alternative. The miners took
MitchelTs advice and accepted the re-
duction. No one who is familiar with
the conditions existing at that time Sc
riously doubts the wisdom Of Mitchell's
counsel He said then, and subsequent
events have shown him to be right.
that the apex Of the wave Of prosper
ity had been reached and the only end
Of such a strike would be disaster for
the strikers.

nuence Of John Mitchell is due the fact
that the proposed cut Wus very mate

PUNISHMENT is DUE.

T HE STATE BOARD of health may
be depended upon to make things
interesting for Mother Jones, the Ia
Dor aSitator, and her ill-advised sym
pathizers who rescued her from quar-
antine and tore down the flag from the
house in which she was detained. In
DR.. T. Il. Beatty, secretary of the state
board Of health, the state has an officer
who has mighty little sympathy with
quarantine breakers. If the offenders
in this instance are not severely pun
ished it VIII not be the fault of DR..
Beatty.
And they should be punished. too.
Mother Jones deliberately defied the
law when she went TO visit a striker
who was afflicted with smallpox in viz
Ulent form. She was very properly
placed in quarantine as soon as the
health authorities learned of her action
because by that action she endangered
the health and the lives of others. The
Jones woman has large following, but
she is not greater than the law. She
will do the cause Of the miners more
harm than good by her latest outbreak.

a PLEA FOR TIE PRIVArEs.

/ 4 PROMINENT LEADER of the
y Democracy has announced that he
will deliver soon in Chicago a lecture
on the platform adopted by the New
York state convention that recently
| elected delegates to the Democratic
national convention. The tenor Of his
preliminary remarks indicates that he
will indulge in some sharp criticisms
Of the platform and of the men who
framed Il. Also that he will permit
himself some structures on the man
who viii be put forward by the New
York delegation as a suitable candi-
date for the presidencJ.
With all due respect to this leader,
we venture TO suggest that he is not
adopting the proper method of har-
morizing the varied interests in the
Democratic party. He is entitled TO
his opinions, true, and to Il full. free
and frank expression Of them, but we
should dislike very much for him to
go so far that he will not be able to
support the st. Louis nominee with
out stultifying himself. He is likely
TO go too far if ne is not very care
full Worse, he is likely to ditide fur
Their party wings that are now trying
To come together.
When all is said it seems to US that
the high privates in the Democratic
ranks are entitled TO some considera-
tion. There are millions of voters in
this land who have always found the
Democratic platform so much better
than the Republican platform that they
have voted solidly for it in bad wealth
CT and i'm sunshine. Shoulder to shoul-
der they have marched into the battle
OF the ballots. Sometimes they have
gone TO victory, sometimes 10 defeat,
but, through success and failure,
through good fortune and bad, they
have remained steadfast.
They followed Cleveland to victory
in 1854 to defeat in 1883, to victory
again in 1892. In 1896. under a banner
that bore, 10 many of them, a strange
and distasteful motto. they followed
Bryan. And Bryan lost. Again in 1900
they marched behind the great Ne
braskan, and again they were routed,
horse, foot and dragons. This year.
undismayed, undiscouragcd, they are
once more aIigning themselves for the
battle. Whatever the platform at St.
Louis may be, they are ready to stand
on it. sure they will find in it a vast
deal of sound Democratic timber.
Are their leaders dealing fairly by
this hopeful host when they seek by
every means within their power to
destroy all possibility of victory before
the battle is fairly begun. before even
the skirmish line has been thrown out?
Men who give orders should be willing
GO take them. The great masses Of the
Democratic army are preparing to
give orders now. They are ordering
their leaders to get together or be
driven into political obscurity, there to
remain forever.

The HARTMAN DECISION

pa THE TERMS of the United States
circuit courts decision in the suit
of Z. II. Hartman and others against
the Northern Securities company, the
defendant company is given the privi-
iege OF distributing the stock OF the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railway companies to the holders
thereof. The opinion of the court
makes it perfectly clear that no other
course would be reasonable. The stock
I'm question is not in the hands of the
court. 1t is stnl in the hands of the
Northern Securities company.
If it is not distributed promptly the
United States may intervene and COM
Eel a distribution, but the United
States is the only power that can in
tcrvene for such a purpose. The ef-
feet OF the recent decision by the su-
RENE court in the case Of the United
States against the Northern Securities
company, is, naturally, to dissolve that
corporation. But it is only fair to al
low the stockholders d reasonable timE
I'm which to agree on distribution or
be merged. Nor should it take long
L" agree on such a plan.
The stockholders I'm both the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads are assuredly of record. The
amount Of stock held by each is known
and the total amount Of stock is
known. To the outsider il would seem
that the matter merely resoIves itsaIf
into a question of clerical work. An
ordinary clerk should be able TO go
over the books. find out the amount
Of stock 20 which each claimant is en-
titled, and return TO him the certifi-
Gates. Financiers may be able to de-
wise something more devious than this.
but it is surely the straightest line
between starting and stopping place.
The decision published yesterday
caused no surprise. One Of the Har-
riman representatives, went so far as
u say that he had expected nothing
else and that the suit was brought in
the circuit court merely as a matter
of legal decency, whatever that may
mean. The same authority said that
new proceedings would be instituted,
but he was not aware of their nature.
in any event, the decision makes it
clear that the Northern Securities
company must, within a reasonable
time. go out Of business. for the dis
tribution of the railway stocks will do
away with any excuse it ever had for
existence
