As matters are conduct ed now. with a few excepted Unea of mechanical service, there Is no etten tlon paid to the qualifications of the workman and th slough with a card on on squat footing with the man who haa Jevoted hl life and brain to the splendid acquisition of adroit skill tn his particular branch, and draws dawn the wage he does not begin to earn, We have often heard the excuse urged against this rule by organised labor, to-wlt, that the employing pe' pie would always be catling for the lower strades of workmen In order to have the work done at the lowest pos sible cost, but this eould be obviated by a counter rule that certain element of work , must be done by the best craftsmen, a rule that would be soon recognised aa safe and wholesome. At all events, there haa got to be a atart made, that will wipe out the most for. mldlbte and plausible complaint now made by those who do the employing. that PUBLIC FOUNTAINS. A clever stranger In Astoria, re- nuirksd to a citlsen. yesterday. In a casual way. that "it seemed the city was short on public drinking foun tains: that back where he came from i there were fourteen handsome drink lug stations about the town, put up by . the different fraternities, and that each .had tried to outdo the other In their gifts, the consequence being that the .place bristled with fine utilities of this sort"; ail of which struck the home . man as good text for public comment Astoria can well stand for several more fountains along the long Una of Its east, and west traverse, and they would be appreciated most tfcorouf hjy. The saloon is alright for such luxur ious beverages as are wanted at Cer tain intervals by certain people, end the council, the fraternities, civic . bodies, br Well disposed individuals, may attain to marked and appreciative recognition, by installing one, or may. as time and circumstances may dictate. Jt Is not merely adults that are in cluded in such public spirited mani festations; the very children are the real beneficiaries. . -o SCHWAB SOUNDS KEYNOTE. Charles M. Schwab, the great steel "master of this country, Is in San Francisco, and in an interview anent the ugly strike there, has given public expression to certain views on the labor question that are timely and wise. We have never thought very much of Mr. Schwab as an exponent of labor theories, but he is one of the largest employers of labor In the world . and surely knows some things are pertinent and essentiaL He avers that labor conditions in the Bay City have, for years, been such . as to make it practically Impossible for manufacturing capital to operate there at a profit and mentions specific losses of his own to prove It The feature of his declaration Is, that the matter of wage and hours has no bearing on the question he la raising. It is the quality of the service ren dered, which la far below the accepted mechanical standards and practically worthless to the Investing and produc Ing factor. This statement is very vital and one , that organized labor has got to take Into actual and practical consideration - very soon or give up Its prestige, be cause It is going to assail that pres tige as time goes on and work to Its detriment The great unions of the country are the custodians,: sponsors and champions of labor, skilled and unskilled, and It devolves upon them to so classify and arrange the people and the service it stands for as avoid Imposing upon the public by sending 9Ut interiorly equipped men under the guise of highly skilled and long trained craftsmen to draw the wages they cannot repay in work. This Is a car. dinal complaint of the employing class and it must be heard and admit ted soon, or the merit of unionism will be sharply challenged some 'day to Its own undoing. Let the big trades establish three classes of workmen, first, second and third; put these clashes upon' three separate scales of wage so clearly cut as to plainly Indicate the real value of the divisions, and the employer will know what to hire and appreciate what he gets and pay for it with some sense of compensation. It Is only) Justice to the fine craftsman; and it THE QUIET INQUIRER. That four-runner of real things in every community, the quiet inquirer. Is in our midst He) la not oonspteu 6ua, nor Insistent nor obtrusive, but he Is here, prosecuting Intelligent in vesttgatlon and summing up the ad vantages and disadvantages of the city- and country and meeting a few people with whom he will do business In the early future; and he Is one to be honestly and cleverly cultivated. He Is no fool and has not travelled several thousand miles with his snug capital to be worsted, or done for; he Is the man we have been looking for, for years, and he Is to be our fellow- cltlzen If we make him welcome and give him a show to come In and estab lish himself. He Is one of the 40.000 that have come out to the coast by virtue of the low west-bound rates that have been In vogue, and now that he Is on the coast It is our busi ness to see that he stayes and stayes because it Is Jo his Interest to do so. If we do not keep him. It will be be cause we do pot. use food Judgement.) a.nS to be gutlty of error In that line, Is to confess ourselves unworthy of his confidence and patronage. Keep your eye on the quiet Inquirer; he is of foe very substance of our future! TEXAS Negro Officer Shot By Unknown Persons.
