negro Judge in Chicago and al
though many of the voters of chat

elected. They now find he il AM

sign. 1t would seem that the Re-
publicans should stand by their
party choice now he is elected,
for although the negro they nomi.
mated for judge was merely in
tended az a stool pige, N, to draw
and catch the other negroes in the
Republican net, they should GER
tainly abide by the result. AS far
as the Democrats are concerned
they are rather pleased at their
show of lack of consis-
tency, but will not join in any
effort to upset the votes of the ma
jority of the people.

The Ordinance Department has
discovered that our IL inch guns
are worthless and would not stand
two hours. of continuous firing
and recommends the building of
ID inch guns and the use OF less
powder. As the warships are
armed with similar guns, it would
seem that our navy would be COM
paratively worthless for offense or
defense after sixty rounds have
been fred, for the experts declare
that is the average life of these
monster engines of war. The
money the United Statesis spend
ing on ships and guns that SO soon
become worn out is an enormous
tax on the American people and
until the experts of the Army and
Navy Departments are assured of
greater length OF service of the re-
suits of their mechanical skill.
Congress should refuse to appro-
pirate for the manufacture OF what
% comparatively worthless.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC STRIKE.

The clerks in the freight depart
ment Of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road have been out on a strike for
the last two months from New
Orleans to Houston, Texas. AS a
result of this condition of things
the railroad has been unable to
serve, as common carrier should
have, the merchants and business
men along its line, who perforce
are compelled to patronize it, and
endure any treatment that this
monopoly sees fit to deal to them
no matter what may be the con-
sequent injury to their business.
The clerks complain Of unjust
or unfair treatment-they petition
for what they consider is due
them-the railroad refuses-the
clerks ego out on a strike," and
the railroad fills their places with
inexperience workers. The con-
sequences is, that it's freight de-
partment has become sadly con-
gested-freights have gone astray
because they are not properly
handled; goods intended for
one locality, are carried to an
other place, and frequently mer-
chants find their goods at depot
without way-bills, causing delay
and great loss. There seems to
be no relief in sight; the fight
goes on, while the innocent mer-
chants remain at the mercy of the
intolerant belligerents; in all fair
ness, such a condition of things
should not exist.
The BANNER knows nothing of
the right or wrong Of the contro-
versy between the railroad and |
its clerks, bur we do know that the
public are suffering grave incon-
venience because of it, and we
firmly believe that little less
and little more of
! wise conciliatory spirit on both
sides would soon bring about a
air, equita bic and honorable solu-
ion Of this ruinous and oppressive
The clerks say they will not
give in an inch-the railroad takes
he same position-in fact they
ire 50 wide apart, that a confer
nee between them seems to be
llmost impossible. The railroad
'fficials say in effect: "We do
lot miss the striking clerks. We I
