THURSDAY, - - JANUARY 24. 1895 GOOD REASON FOR IT. Brooklyn is wrestling with a strike that,- large at first, is beginning to- as-same- immense proportions. " We have never believed in strikes as a proper means of correcting the grievances be tween em plover and employe. ' The strike is always accompanied by io lence, almost always by bloodshed and by suffering, and it in un-American But there'are a good many other things that are nn-American. One of these is the submission to tyranny : and another is. the forcing of freemen the laborers of the country into a serfdom that is little short of slavery, and in some re spects is worse than that. Yet another is the yielding to corporate greed When a fleshless and bloodless corpora tion, with no body to kick and no eonl to damn, that was begotten in legisla tive iniquity and conceived in municipal Bin, yet with rights and privileges greater than that of the citizen, takes advantage of ite incorporeal nonentity -to cinch the public and enslave the laborer, there is no resistance that is nn-American ; no resistance that is not a duty The cause of the strike in Brooklyn was, in one sense, a trivial matter, but the principle behind that cause was great. The street railways employ about 6,000 men. A scheme was hatched up, and was being enforced, that took from each of those men from a cent or two to fifteen or twenty cents, or more, every day. The men were only paid for the time they, were actually on the rails. If a man was forced to wait for even three minutes, while hia car was being sent out, he was docked that time. In the course of the day this docked time would add up tor some times a considerable amount, perhaps half an hour or more. The loss' to the working nian was small a matter of five, ten, or twenty cents a day ; but the saving to the companies would aggregate $600 per day. The companies were moved by the same spirit of greed that moved Ananias, whose fate they might well ponder over. The companies are determined to win, at no matter what cost of human fife; at no matter what cost to human liberty and our boasted American freedom. The winning of that fight means $180,000 a year taken from its employes, as forcibly as rapa cious, and as unlawfully as any similar tribute was ever levied by the robber barons of old. Corporate greed is the rock upon which our good ship of state will yet wreck, if it is not checked, and the true patriut will ever be found on the side of the bone and sinew,-the muscles and blood, the heart and brain of the land the workingman ; instead of the flesh less brick and pulseless mortar in which the artificial man, the corporation, finds tangible surroundings for its intangible body. The Boston tea party was a riot ; the conflict' at Lexington nothing but a strike. - Taking a man's time without paying him for it in the first step toward enslaving him, and is a much more seri ous offense than "taxation without rep resentation." Let the comorations learn to be just to others, for otherwise the day will soon come when they will ask in vain for justice of the devil they have created. WHITE WASH. " lne congressional committee ap pointed to consider the charges against" Judge Ricks and report to congress whether or not he should be impeached, held a session Tuesday with Judge Rick present. After examining several wit nesses and also listening to a statement of Judge Ricks, Mr. Harrison, one of the committee, offered the following resolu tion, which was adopted by a vote of 9 to 7: "Resolved, That while the committee is not satisfied that Judge Ricks has been guilty of any wrong committed while judge that will justify it in report ing a resolution of impeachment, yet the committee cannot too strongly censure the practice "under which Judge Ricks made up his accounts." - This resolution reminds us of a good old Mormon down at Provo in 1859. He had ten fat hogs, and like a' good church man sent one to the tithing house. Bishop Nephi Johneon soon after called on him and remarked that "The Lord has been good to you Brother Parrish, and you ought to give a hog to support the missionaries," so the second hog went-jib the "tithing house. Another visit by the bishop, and another request sent another bog after ' the other two, and this was kept up until the bishop had nine hogs and Parrish had one. In explaining the matter to a gentile, the old man remarked that "He didn't think the bishop was working him at all, but he did think that the Lord was awful fond of pork." Senator Smith of Sherman county has introduced a bill entitled "An act to regulate railway traffic hetween Celilo and The Dalles." The object of the bill is to con, i el t he O. R. & N. to haul cars between the points named, and upon the irr nil ntr un-i lavintr of ties upon a switch from the main line of the O. R. & N. to Uu-' river, that company shall fnniish and place the rails thereon, and shall furnish cars on demand for convey ing sucli freight as may he offered The bill also ix-H the -rates - which may be charged by the company for. hauling cars. If the bill can be passed and made tu stick, it would settle the matter of op'tiinsr h- river. GREAT PRt.SE.NCE OF MIND. A Terrible Catastrophe Averted By a Pub lic Speaker's Self-Control. One of the "sights" of Philadelphia, fifty years ago, was a magnificent Chinese museum, whose treasures, col lected by Mr. Dunn, a munificent mer chant, were displayed in a building erected on the site on which now stands the Continental hotel. Over the mu seum was a long, narrow upper room, about thirty-nve feet high. It was a public hall, used for lectures and con certs, and with it was associated a most remarkable instance of presence of mind. A correspondent of the London Spectator tells the thrilling story. In the central part of this immense auditorium were collected one evening about three thousand persons. At about nine o'clock, the manager of the building came to the leader of the meetings white with affright, and told him that the floor had sunk nearly a foot, and that in a few minutes more the tenons of the joists might be out of their sockets. The floor would then fall through onto the - Chinese museum, and the walls, sixty feet in height, would col lapse and be precipitated, with the roof, upon the assembly. The leader explained to the person whom the audience expected next to hear, that by addressing the assembly from the end of the hall, he could with draw the company from the sunken part of the floor to that where the front walls strengthened the joists to bear the weight of the people. The reply to this was that his own family was in the audience, and that he must eret them out first. " You shall not!" said the leader; "a hint of danger, a rush, and we shall all be under the fallen walls and roof. Five minutes' delay may kill us altogether." As a boy in the audience I well re member my surprise . at seeing the leader suddenly appear at the far front of the room, and tell the people that they would next toe addressed from where he stood the organ-loft. As the audience turned and moved to the front, the flooring rose six inches. The people were entertained partly by an impromptu sentimental song in a voice without a quaver, in the very- face of death, and as soon as practica ble they were quietly dismissed. Not a single individual in that great assembly was aware that, by the pres ence of mind of one man, an awful ca tastrophe had been averted. The imagination sickens at the thought of what would have been the consequence of a panic and sudden alarm by the failure of the courage of this man. I am confident that, excepting- the speaker referred to and the manager of the building, no one outside the imme diate family of the man whose courage prevented this catastrophe has known tne whole story till now.' The terror of those minutes before the crowd was- moved and the floor rose toward its level, was such, that he never, even in -his own family, alluded to the scene, though he lived for forty years afterward. GYMKHANA IN LONDON. Bow the English Are Amusing Them selves with an luciian Sport. The gymkhana, a sort of gymnastic hash, in which the participants are ex pec tea to exercise their ingenuity in devising all sorts of unheard of per formances, has been introduced into England from India. The sport is very popular in that part of the orient, -but is little known in western countries. The idea was launched in London the other day, and according to the papers there the lovers of sport have gone crazy over it. The most amusing event on the programme was a cos tume race. Seated on side saddles and attired in dresses of the gayest colors and the most startling cut five men went round the course, which included a bushed hurdle. Two ballet girls (both men) covered their ponies quar ters with voluminous skirts, a Dolly Varden and baby in bed gown and sun bonnet, and raced for the fence, and Charley's Aunt brought up the rear. Another feature of the day was the ob stacle race, in which a -variety of ob jects likely to put ponies on were ar ranged rouna tne course, lne one that attracted people most was the series of paper screens through which the pomes had to force their way. The head-to-tail race and the handkerchief dash were mirth-provoking features. In the former men rode at. lively speed with their faces toward the horses' tails, and in the latter a rider dropped a lady's handkerchief on the ground, then at a gallop picked it up without leaving the saddle.
