A Hateful Situation. .

The attention of the Federdtionist il
directed to the unnatural and threaten
ing condition OF affairs that exists to-
day in the carpenter establishment
owned by the P. 8. Kirk Company in
Paterson, N. j. The employees OF this
corporation, in the face Of the teachings
of the labor agitators, and contrary to
the most enlightened theories Of the
walking delegate, are living in a state
Of hideous peace and comfy with their
EMPLOYERS. Instead Of looking upon
them as greedy, oppressive, bloodsuck-
ing enemies, tho employees regard the
people for whom they work In the
light Of friendly, we'll disposed CO.
laborers. Instead Of trying to hinder
and obstruct the activities Of the cor
poration, the employees actually seek to
further It's interests. Instead Of attempt
ing to cripple and undo it, the employees
are blindly endeavoring to strengthen
and promote its welfare.
This is the lamentable situation dis
closed in the news of yesterday. 1t is
shocking example Of benighted, wilful
disregard for the teachings Of the agi-
tators. Surely the agitators will not
allow such conditions to exist without
attempting to right them. 1t appears
that the employees worked for the COM
pany on Saturday afternoon, sacrificing
the Saturday half-holiday. The least
that the agitators can do is to cause that
part of the building erected by the Kirk
company's men which was put in place
after the noon hour to be torn down and
reconstructed in accordance with the
rules of distrust, hatred and malice.

Bryan and Indiana j..

The Indiana Democracy is known TO
be thoroughly Organized. 1t believes
honestly in the Peerless. Its convictions
are not elastic enough to be changed in
a twinkling. 1t refuses to admit that it
was unsafe and insane in 1895 and 1900.
The contemptuous tone OF the Eastern
Democratic press toward Mr.. BRYAN
makes his Hoosier followers sore. They
don't want to be reorganized. They
want BRYAN. They don't pine for
Judge PARKER. If anybody can recon-
cile them to him and the new deal,
their old chief is the man. They must
have him and they are going to have
him, as an indianapolis despatch to the
Washington Star tells:
An Overwhelming demand for speeches from
WILLIAM j. BRYAN was the general strain OF all
the reports made at the meeting OF the Democratic
State committee. Every county In Indiana wants
BRYAN, and Is bound to have him or know
the reason why. Heedlng this pressure from their
Democratic constituents. all of the Democratic
district chairmen present insisted that the Demo
cratic State committee ofncials shall not overlook
their respective districts In arranging Mr.. BRrAN's
schedule.
This demand for BRYAN Is due In part to de.
sire 10 show the rcorganlzcrs that BRYAN is the
livellest sort OF factor In Indiana. and In that
sense II Is q reaction against the work OF the st.
Louis convention. Chiefly. however. II comes
from Mr. BRrANs followers all ovor tho State. who
are sncere In their desire to know from his own
lips how he stands in the present emergency"
He is TO make thirty speeches, more
than any other Democratic missionary
in Indiana; and even at that number
he will be able to accommodate only a
small fraction OF the people who want to
hear him.
The passionate zeal which Mr.. BRYAN
will bring to the stump in Indiana may
be judged from his apology in last weeks
Com moncr:
Some Of the Eastern Democrats and some OF
the Populists have criticised Mr.. BBYANs state
ment giving his reasons for supporting Judge
PARKER. The Eastern Democrats nnd fault be.
cause the support Is given without indorslng the
methods employed to secure tho nomination. The
criticism Is not valid. Mr.. BRYAN owes duty to
the loyal Democrats Of 1893 and 1900. well as to
the organization, and be could not help the ticket
by pretending 10 be delighted with the nomination
Neither could no help tho ticket by trying to de-
ceive those who have trusted him. He can do the
