"MOYER-HEYWOOD DAY."
Upon a certain day In the coming
month the labor unions of tie coun
try wlU. it ' said, make a comprehen
sive demonstration In favor of theae
two miners now under Indictment for
complicity In the murder of Governor
Steunenburg. of Idaho, and' for Its
especial sign and function, will pro
claim the President of the United
States the enemy of the worklngman
of America and the prmcipal agent
In forceing these men to answer the
letter of the law for their alleged
Crimea. Well, this Is going some!
TV'e confess ourselves painfully Ig
norant of the plea upon which these
two men. whose chief virtues are so
far as we have been able to ascertain
them, that they are members of the
Western Federation of Miners, and In
a grave predicament, both matters of
WnlcB they were the sole masters in
the original premises are elevated to
such transcendent heights! Why are
they canonised and made the crux of
a movement such as this? Why are
they any better than the million of
honest workmen of the country who
have to go up against Just as hard
conditions when they forget Or trans
gress the law of the land? Who are
they, that the laboring world should
make them the arch-types of oppres
sion and Injustice? What extraordi
nary rights have they in such an in
stance that the nation Itself is to be
made the artlter as between them and
their self-wrought destiny? It would
seem that such a movement as this
should have a predicate so large, so
popular, so wholesome, so manful, as
to need no bolstering, and If these
were the elements prompting it, there
would be no necessity for such an UP'
rising; the sense of public Justice
would assert and exert itself so swift
ly and so thoroughly, that no formal
expression would be organized nor
needed.
We would like a bit of disinterested
coaching on this subject, and we are
as hopelessly ignorant of where to go
for It,-as we are of the fundamental
call for it.
THE REPRISAL OF CAPITAL.
We are led to wonder, frequently,
upon observelng . the, adoption of some
new and startling demand of organ
teed labor, now long capital Is going
to meet the overtures In peace and
silence, and if, at some untoward
moment, it will not put Into effect Its
one vital and effective reprisal of
closing down business rather than
continue the concessions.
We do not deprecate the least, nor
larttest of the things thai labor In
ulats upon and are glad to see every
rational advantage accure to the ele
ment that has had more of denial
than anything else through the years
that are gone; and yet we believe the
day lg not far distant when some big
organic system of disclaimer will be
Inaugurated by the money-powers that
will be overwhelmingly disastrous to
the workingmen of the country. It
is not Impossible nor at all improba
ble, and should be reckoned with In
the plans of the unions.
The patience of the public, always
the scape-goat as between these ele
ments of business, will not serve al
ways to wlth-stand the strain, and
' when that falls there will be a season
Astoria h reason to be prowd of
her Kllis. They are of th uptodat
sort, and are going to prove it. They
intend to put a ftfty-thousflnd-doHar
home and business houo , on their
Twelfth-street propertn which will be
an ornament and credit to the city and
a monument of their ytm mt
energy. The Elk crA. ' f for
doing all It does in t amplest anil
latest ways of doing thlnu; there is
nothing small nor. cheap nor par
simonious in their creed of business
and what they put out as signs and
samples of genuine public spirit are
always classed wltJt the very hlghcM
of such testimonials, Astoria has need
of all such, evidences and appreciates
them profoundly.
, Th present year has on Its roster
of progress several such contributions
to the growth and beauty of the city,
and the new hotel 'with the Elk build
Ing and the Savings Bank building,
will form a group of which any city
may be aggressively proud. There are
more to come, and many lesser ven

Just how live and liberal the sense of
destiny is In this place. There Is to
be no stoppage along this line, and
every dollar Invested will come home
to these who put It out. an hundred

a city In the Northwest with so as
sured a future as Astoria's and the
work of preparedness la laid In just
such premises as this; solid, practical,
well-gauged, judicious expenditures of
capital, , that will return again hand
