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.
