The End Of the Chicago Strike

1t does not surprise anybody who has
followed the progress Of the Chicago
Transfers strike to learn that this dis
graceful struggle. which mas continued
for over one hundred days. has at last
closed with the unconditional surrender
of the strikers. There was no justifica-
ton for the strike in the first place, and
II was carried on with 50 much VIC
lence and lawlessness that public SYM
pathy in Chicago AMI throughout the
country has been against it from the
first. 1t involved about 5000 teamster7'
has kept busy for weeks practically the
entire city police force and over thou
sand special policemen and deputies.
and has occasioned lawlessness directly
resulting in about 30 deaths and hum
dreds Of injuries. The Chicago Tribune
estimates that it has cost the public
treasury over half a million dollars. the
teamsters more than half that in wages
and strike benefits and the business
houses several millions. Added to this
loss Of life and money has been an in
caIculablc amount of business and per-
sonal Inconvenience and the great
stimulus to the spirit Of lawlessness
which has done much to hurt the name
Of the city.
In discussing the strike the Chicago
papers have dwelt upon it as a labor
contest initiated solely from corrupt
motives. They declare il was not be-
gun ont of sympathy for the striking
garment workers Of the city. as wds
pretended. but that it was the result Of
graft tactics among the labor leaders.
the disclosure of which has wrought
great harm to unioaism in that city
and section. Thousands Of men lost
their Jobs and with thei- families suf-
fcred for the necessities of life because
these corrupt leaders involved them in
q strike. The agitator5 themselves
may have profited. but not the others.
The teamsters had no grievance. and
the strike proved a folly and a crime.
Until organized labor weeds out the
selfish and corrupt schcners who use i:
for their own ends, there will be such
dicgraceful and pitifui experiences as
Chicago has witnessed during the past
few months. The glib-tongued agita"
tors who worm themselves into the
leadership Of the unions to advance
their personal ends have often proved
a curse to organized ialOr and to the
cities where they live and - their dirty
work The welfare of labor is mat
ter of national cOnc"In and whenever
it's interests are represented by honest
and faithful men 1t gets public encour-
agcment aud support, but whenever
organized labor takes the route which
leads To boycotts. sympathetic strikes.
reckless picketing. rowdyism and
thuggery. and stoops to turmoil and
lawlessness. ii simply disCrrdits and in
lures itself and loses its cause, just as
1t has lost II in Chicago.

Saint Christopher Columbus.
the case.

A dispatch from Rome says that on
May 20, 1906. that date being the 4O0th
anniversary of the death of Christo-
pher Columbus, magnificent monu-
ment to his memory will be erected in
the Vatican, and at the same time he
will be canonized as the patron saint
Of America. Outside of the religious
denomination most directly concerned,
such an event will be one of wide in
terest and Is certain to attract general
attention and comment throughout the
world. Up to this time America mas
had only one saint.-that is. only one
officially stamped as such by the
church authorities. This one is
South American. ST. Rosa de Lima who
was known in secular life as Senorita
Isabel Flores, and she won her cam
onization. not by any miracle or holy
vision. but by life of very plain and
aesthetic virtue, in the 18th century.
But most of US never heard of her.
and whatever her virtues. only one
saint and that South American is
hardly sufficient for the many millions
of Christian people in the western
hemisphere.
1t is a curious thing that no national
monument or memorial has ever been
raised to Christopher Columbus in an
American country. All the small mon
uments that exist have been erected By
churches or Italian societies. 1t is true
that in these latter days historians
have arisen with a disposition to strip
Columbus of all his !aurels and reduce
him to the level of a vulga. and igno-
rant adventurer, who did not have
the intelligence to know what he had
discovered. even wnen he blundered
upon a new continent. and who was
sadly lacking in the piety which We
commonly associate with a saint.
Whatever the truth about his life and
character. the fact remains that he
received but scant honor in his own
day and that scant honor has been
raid his memory in the four centuries
that have passed since he died. If the
church deems him worthy of canon
ization, there will certainly be no OBJ
lection made in this country: neither
is it at all probable that the PROPOSE
ton will be received with any grea:
degree of enthusiasm. When it comes
to the matter Of patron saints, a ma
tive American by the name of George
Washington will always hold first
place in the hearts Of the American
people.

The Most Unhappy Of Rulers.

The recent attempt to assassinate the
Sultan of Turkey. an attempt which
resulted in the loss of many lives
though the Sultan himself escaped I'M
hurt. shows that he has had good reason
to follow the course which has led
to his being known as the most scared
of all living monarchs. Certainly no
ruler, with the possible exception of
the Car Of Russia, has such reason
to be frightened for his life. for he is
surrounded with personal enemies who
hate him for his numberlcss private
crimes. as well as by political conspir-
ators who wish to remove him for pO-
litical reasons. While the attempts
upon the lives of those in authority in
Russia are almost always the re-
id IL i'm constant danger on
account Of the individuals who
bear personal erudges and griev-
ances against him, and who patiently
wait for the opportunity to strike the
blow Tor which their hearts hunger.
Not only does the sultan thoroughly
appreciate his danger. but ha even ex-
aggarates it. and lives IN consu mt ter
ror. surrounding himself with every
possible safeguard. mechanical and hu-
man. 1t is said that he even
wears a shirt of mail, never sleeps in
dark or unguarded room. never
tastes food or drink which is not pre-
viously tasted by some of his suite in
his presence. and even wears gloves
constantly to prevent a possibility of
contamination Of poison. He is. in
assassination and his mind dwells so
constantly upon it that he reads every
thing available upon the subject of
crimes and criminals, and is particular
ly well posted upon the story of every
royal assassination on record.
His secret service is probably not ex-
celled by that of any government. and
he has spies i'm all parts of the world
to watch those who may plot against
his life. Think of the miserable, slav-
ism existence which such a ruler must
drag out. He is simply Il coweIing.
t''mt ling wretch who never knows a
happy moment. and mis- condition Is
even worse than that Of the most un-
happy prisoner in his darkest dungeon.
Unhappy as is the Car OF Russia.
there is probably one ruler. after all,
whose lot is less to be envied than his.
