Chicago, July 2.—Debs said this after noon that a settlement will be made on these terms only: F irst—There must be an armistice be tween Pullman and his employes on a basis satisfactory to the men, (They are willing to accept a reasonable compro mise,) and all men must be taken back to work. Second—There must be an adjustment between tbe railways and the strikers; all must be restored to their old positions and no wagas shall be cut, nor shall they discriminate. T hird—The General Managers asso ciation has made common cause with the Pullman company and we cannot settle with either side. There m ust be an agreement with both or none. This statement was made after an interview with Peter Studebaker. Until DULll One UC Vr 1 £ • fni 1 vJl * Macaulay’s Prophecy. Preserve the Forests. PULLMAN’S SIDE. Iu these times of social upheaval in the United states the following portion of a letter written by Lord Macaulay, the eminent English historian, concerning the future of this country, may prove interesting reading. Macaulay lived from 1800 to 1859: “I do uot believe that it is possible to establish institutions that will be per manent based upon the votes of people counted by the head. That proceeds upon the supposition that the rich aud poor, the wise and ignorant, the virtuous aud the vicious are all counted as equal and endowed with equal political power. That is the fatal vice of your institutions that Jefferson founded. Now your coun try can prosper so long as you have great spaces of unoccupied land; a great West for your surplus population; but the time will come in your history when New England will be as thickly populated as Old England; when there will be no more fertile, unoccupied lauds for your ex panding population. Then will come the real strain and test of your institutions There will be periods of scarcity and dis tress. Thousands of laborers will be out of work, and men will begin to say there is no justice in allowing one man to have millions while another has not a meal; no justice in letting one man ride in his carriage and dine sumptuously while another hears his childreu cry for bread; aud when that hour comes your government will be brought to its final and fatal test. * * * The day will come when, in the state of New York, a multitude of people, none of whom has had more than half a breakfast, or ex- pect to have more than half adiuuer, will choose a legislature. Is it possible to doubt what sort of a legislature will be chosen? On the one hand will he a states man preaching patience, respect for vest ed rights, strict observance of public faith. On the other hand is a demagogue, ranting about the tyranny of capitalists and usurers, and asking why anybody should be permitted to diue sumptuously and ride in bis carriage while thousands of honest people are iu want of neces saries. Which one will prevail?” iCommnuicated. | Possibly many have not read the fol lowing statement to the public by Geo. M. Pullman, regarding the situation at his works which led up to the present great railroad strike: “At the commencement of the depres sion last year we were employing at Pull man 5816 men aud paying out in wages there $305,000 a month. Negotiations with intending purchasers of railway equipment that were then pending for new work were stopped by them; orders already given by others were canceled and we were obliged to lay off a large number of men in every department, so that by November, 1893, there were only about 2000 men in all the departments, or about one-third of the normal number. I realized the necessity for the most strenuous exertions to procure work im mediately, without which there would be great embarrassment, not only to the em ployes and their families at Pullman, but also to those living in the immediate vicinity, including between 700 and 800 employee who bad purchased homes aud to whom employment was actually neces sary. I discussed the matter thoroughly with the manager of the works, aud the result of this discussion was a revision in piece-work prices, which, iu the absence of any informatiouto the coutrary, I supposed to bo acceptable to the meu uuder the circumstanoes. Under these conditions, aud with lower prices on all materials,! personally undertook the work of the letting of oars, aud rnakiug lower bide than other manufacturers I secured work enough to gradually increase our force from 2200 to about 4200, the num ber employed according to the April pay roll iu all capacities at Pullman. This result has uot been accomplished merely by a reduction iu wages, hut the company has borne its full share by eliminating from its estimates the use of capital aud machinery, aud in many cases even going below that and taking work at a con siderable loss. During the night of May 10 a strike was decided on, and accord ingly, next day about 2500 of the em ployes quit, leaving about 600 at work, of whom very few were skilled workmen. As it was found impracticable to keep the shops iu operation with a force thus diminished aud disorganized, the next day those remaining were necessarily let out, and no work has since been done in the shops. The payroll at this time amounted to about ¿7000 a day and was reduced $5500 hy the strike, so that dur ing the period of little more than six weeks which has elapsed the employes who quit their work have deprived them selves aud their comrades of earnings of more than $200,000.” THE UNION’S SIDE. The important part which the forests P ay in the household of nature is liable to be ignored by the average statesman, ih e forests, and especially those of resinous essences, modify to a large ex tent, the quality of a climate by the change of atmospheric elements caused oy their instrumentality. Since foreets absorb through their roots a great quantity of liquid which from the trunk passes into the branches to reach the leaves, where it is partially evaporated, it results that forests, through their leaves, act in a three-fold manner upou the constitution of a climate—by their evaporation aud their action toward the celestial spaces which procures the dew so beneficial to plant life after hot sum mer days. The gaseous atmosphere which surrounds our globe to an up- proximate height of about sixty miles only performs the most important service for plant and animal life. It is the great reservoir to which animals return the carbon which has served for the ac complishment of their functions aud from which the plants draw that same element to be assimilated by them aud returned iu a proper state to be consumed anew hy animals. The atmosphere is, there fore, the “tie ’ between the two great classes of living beings of the creation, subordinate cue to the other in a per petual rotatiou of material exchange, always the same and still always new. To destroy the fort6ts is to destroy the equilibrium between the two grout factors mentioned. Robbed of the forests we become the prey of tempests aud of overflows of valleys from heavy rains and melting snows, and suffers from drouths which transform fertile country into deserts as we may learn from the history of many barren coun tries which were once fertile, ere meu achieved the distinctions of their forests. We have in our state beeu blessed by nature with plenty of fertile valleys susceptible of manifold cultivation, but let us keep intact the forests of our mountain crests which are uot only an udornm entbut contribute largely to the wholesomeuess of our climate, furnish Can We Afford It? shelter to onr culture aud will become a According to the law of 1889 this is the source of wealth to future generations. year for adopting text books to be used M .

Debs, president of the American Railway Union, has issued a long statement iu justifica tion of the great strike of which he is the central figure. The article is addressed to the public, and reads iu part as follows “The Pullman employes who struck May 6 last did so entirely of their own accord. The officers of the American Railway Union used all their influence to pacify the employes, aud advised them repeatedly not to strike, but to bear patiently their grievances until a peace able settlement could be affected. The tru th of this statement the employes themselves will bear witness Io.

Deputy Mineral Slimier. Many persons are making predictions as to what will be the results of the pres ent great railway strike. A prominent member of the legal profession and ex- government official gave it as his opinion yesterday that one of the results will be that congress will puss a law licensing employes on interstate railroads, some thing as pilots are now licensed, thus placing them, to a certain extent, under the protection and control of the govern ment. The license would not allow of the men being discharged without uotice, and would require the men to give due notice before quiting work. If they do, their license would be revoked, and they could not be employed again until they obtained a new license. The attorney says there is a law of this kind in Ala bama. I t was contested by the railroad companies, but was declared constitution al. The reason the railroads objected to this law, which is intended for their pro tection, is that they think it is in the line of the government assuming control of all railroads. This, the gentleman says, is in his opinion inevitable, in course of time, aud he believes that within 50 years the government will have to take control of all railroads and such property.—[Ore gonian.
