A FALSE PRINCIPLE.
Just why organized labor clings to
the false principle of inaugurating
strikes in the midst of dull commer
cial seasons, passes all understanding.
When capital is on a "feather-edge"
as to investments; when it is chary
of expense bills and sensitive to all the
adverse conditions of a dubious mar
ket; when the people, the buying pub
lic, is wrought to the exacting crux
of economy and has no patience for,
nor sympathy with, popular move
ments of the kind: then it is that
strikes are ordered and launched. It
seems to us poor policy to "pile on
the agony" upon capital and con
sumers at times like this and that
common sense dictates the expedien
cy of choosing a time when the stand
ards of success and activity and pros
perity are present to act as indices of
what the laborer ought to have as his
rightful share, of an acknowledged
largness, if not surfeit.
We have never understood it nor have
be seen it -satisfactorily explained.
But we recognize it as a fixed policy
and deplore it, because it does not
appeal to us, as correct in theory or
practice. There are a number of im
portant strikes now afoot, or about

above the millions of their fellow
and the millions of money at stake in
the commercial world. The whole
thing is false and time will prove it.
HOME, OR BELL, WHICH?
The good people of Astoria are
soon to go up against a business pro
blem that will worry them all badly
as it has many another North-Western
community; the choosing of the
telephone they are to use and the
company they are to patronize.
They may try to straddle the prop
osition for awhile by paying heaviU
for both instruments and indulging
all the confusion incident to the two
fold system; or they may settle the
thing once for a1! by selecting the
conct'n they desire to patronize and
making a unanimous choice, to the
exclusion of the one or the other of
.the companies. Both they are going
jto have trouble and before many day's.
We have no counsel to offer: it is
peculiarly a matter of popular ar
rangement, and we have no desire to
draw down on our, devoted heads the
fuming and fussing and ultimate
wrath of our fellows. We shall wait,
in amused patience, the outcome of
the pretty business scrap and put the
responsibility exactly where it be
longs. , ; .

NOT MISSOURIANS, BUT-.
The press yarn going the rounds,
with the tacit sanction of the Asso
ciated Pressr that the great railway
labor organizations of the country
are about to champion the plaint of
the transportation companies for in
creased revenues, via increased rates
and tariffs, anJ will lend themselves,
organically,, and determinedly, to a
campaign of public education along
these lines,UPON THE HYPOTHE
SIS, THAT THEY, THE EM
PLOYES, WILL SUFFER A RE
DUCTION OF THE WAGE
SCALES, if the country does not respond-
to the demands for the ad
vanced charges on all manner of traf
fic, is, we believe, an inspired and gi
gantic falsehood.
That the railway brotherhoods,
among the most advanced groups of
organized craftsmen in the world,
should lend themselves to so piti
fully selfish a propoganda as this is
inconceiveable, and it will take more
than the word of transportation lead
ers to impose it upon the American
people. And, if we must, in the end,
believe this thing, we promise faith
fully to do our poor best to thwart
both parties to the huge and shame
less scheme of exploitation.
The truth of the whole railway sit
uation in America today reveals the
fact that their past year's business
has netted them nearly half a billion
of surplus profits, after paying every
charge against them, including the
dividends, and yet they are boldly
pleading that they must have more,
even if they force up the rates that
already operate as sheer robbery. The
issues are being swiftly and finely
drawn as between the railways and
the people, and there is going to be
"something doing", especially if such
gross subterfuge as the forcing of the
hand and interests of their employes,
is to be used against the people.
But we do not believe this can, or
will be done, nor even attempted. The
trainmen have alweays shown too
high and brave a spirit in their own
contests with the companies, in the
past, to stoop to so beggarly a level
as this.
And besides, what are a few hundred
thousand railway employes compared

The Commercial
One of the coziest and most popu
lar resorts in the city is the Commer
cial. A new billiard room, a pleasant
sitting room and handsome fixtures
all go to make an agreeable meeting
place for gentlemen, there to discuss
the topics of the day, play a game of
billiards and enjoy the fine refresh
ments served there. The best of
goods are only handled, and this fact
being so well known, a large business

The farmers cannot consistently
complain of hard times or unremu
nerative prices. They are realizing
more for their products, and their
farms are valued higher, than at any
former period within the past eigh
tee.i years.
Hie surprising news comes .from
Constantinople that the Sultan has
granted a constitution and called for
the election of a Chamber of Depu
ties. Russia, Persia and Turkey make
a big recent addition to the world's
constitution converts.

Diarrhoea Cured.
"My father has for years been
troubled with diarrhoea, and tried ev
ery means possible to effect a cure,
without avail," writes John H. Zir
kle of Philippi, W. Va. He saw
Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy advertised in the
Philippi Republican and decided to
try it. The result is one bottle cur
ed him and he has not suffered with
the disease for eighteen months. Be
fore taking this remedy he was a con
stant sufferer. He is now sound and
well, and although sixty years old,
can do as much work as a young man.

A Faithful Friend.
" I have used Chamberlain's colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy since
it was first introduced to the public in
1872, and have never found one in
stance where a cure was not speedily
effected by its use. I have been a
commercial traveler for eighteen
years, and never start out on a trip
without this, my faithful friend," says
H. S. Nichols of Oakland, Ind. Ter.
When a man has used a remedy for
thirty-five years he knows its value
and is competent to speak of it. For
sale by Frank Hart, druggist.
