ROYALTY. '
There is one true man and bed-rock
Republican in the house of commons,
and his name is James Kerr Hardie.
We do not know what shire or borough
he represents, but the orthography of
his surname-would indicate that he
sprung from the Lowland Scotch race
of thinkers, who have produced such
men as John Stuart Mill, Huh Mil
ler, Robertson, Oarlyle and numerous
others', nd whose descendants nave
been foremost in art, science and liter
ature in almost all nations of the
worlcL When Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, supported by Mr. Balfour,
moved an address of congratulation to
the queen upon the birth of an heir to
the Duke of York, he said:
; "1 owe allegiance to no hereditary
ruler. The motion proposes, to raise
the importance, of an event of daily oc
currence. am delighted to learn the
child is fairly healthy. I shall be pleased
to join in the ordinary congratulations,
if I meet the child's parents, but when
the house of commons, representing
the nation, is asaea 10 jum " w"
n-afnloMnna thm. in the interest of
6 1 .
the dignity of the house, i protest.
' '
The motion was made because the child
was born in the royal family, and the
house has a right to ask what partic
ular blesiing the family has conferred
, nmn Um nation. We are told the
quenn has ruled for half a centmry,
I beg to correct uns oy . saying inas
... -t
' l,.. wiaiaafv haa rpicrnpd. not ruled,
rri... L. V.;niu nf Watsi What.
lO VUU nuu" v -
' special blessing has he conferred upon
the nation that we should rejoice
with - himt I know nothing iri the
earner of his roval highness which
commends itself especially to me."
This is good, solid, nineteenth-cen.
tury common sense, and should be
applauded by every Republican who
helieves in free institutions and the
rule of the masses. It, is. particularly
hopeful coming as it does rrom tne
parliament of a conservative people;
" but as representatives ' of tradesmen
' anil artisafts the commoners have little
, .1 ZL 1 L.nr
titled nobility, and the sentiments ex
pressed by Mr. Hardie will be endorsed
by very many Englishmen, Irishmen,
Scotchmen and Welshmen. .
Sat this todyism to royalty or those
in nower is not confined to Great
t -
. Britain or to monarchies. There is no
royalty by blood descent in this coun
try; but the royalty of wealth and in
fluence commands adoration here, and
the words cf Mr. Hardie should find a
lodging place in the breast of every
true 4-merican. The rule of the roy-
alty of : wealth, blood or influence
should cease. They should simply reign,
as Hardie' expressed it, and the man,
who toils for his daily bread should be
actions, his vote and his sentiments.
. '. THE END IN SIGHT.
According to the leader of the Dem
ocratic Bide of the senate, Mr. Harris,
of Tennessee, a vote on the tariff biln
will be reached by Saturday, and ac
cording to Mr. Aldrich, the leader of
the Republican side, the senate will be
on the "fag end" of"' the bill by that
time. Evidently they both think that
.the pending stage of the contest will
be over before this month closes, says
, an exchange. In other words, that
the Fourth of July will find the whole
matter in the hands of a conference
committee from the two branches of
Congress.
There is no longer any schedule of
' prime importance to be taken up. Silk
comes the nearest to being of the first
grade. The domestic silk mills of the
United States are more extensive than
' is generally supposed. In 1 890 their
products for the census year were val
ued at $87,293,454, about a quarter
of those of the cotton mills. The same
year we imported $38,246,787 worth.
' Protection has developed this industry
to the point where it supplies over two'
" thirds of the silk worn by the Ameri-
can people, and, what is still more note
worthy, the price has been reduced by
this home competition. . No one can
examine into the facts in the case and
say that the silk tariff is a tax, in any
proper sense of taxation. Even the
free traders have to admit this.
New . Jersey is the chief center of
the silk industry. Both of the sen
tors from that state . seem to be indif
ferent .to its fate. If they can only
get on the right side of the sugar trust
market the silk mills may rust out
without giving either of them any ap
parent concern. Ic is a somewhat ser
ions matter for the country, for no one
is so poor as not to wear silk in some
form. It is, however, still a luxury,
and not to be compared to the great
staples which are among the necessa-
. ries of life.
'After the dutiable lists have all been
. gone through with the free list will
come up, and then wool will once more
be under consideration. It is no ex
aggeration to say that millions of far
mers are directly interested in and af
fected by the price of wool Even
Mr. Harris own state of Tennessee
has over half a million sheep, every
one of which free wool will depreciate
in value, and its neighbor on the south,
Mississippi, has nearly as many more.
The millions of sheep of 'those two
states are kept, for the most part, on
rough and until lable land, much of it
not suited to the grazing of cattle,
even."' The fact is that, take the
country oyer, and the wool growing is
Urgely confined to land unsuited to
ordinary farming. Take, for example,
Ohio. It has more sheep than any
other state in the union, not excepting
Texa, .with its vast ranges. Now
those sheep are not found, in any con
siderable numbers, in the broad valleys
and broader plains which make up the
greater part of Ohio, and have given
it such high rank as aa agricultural
state. Those farmers have only a few
sheep.s Bat in the hill counties, where
ordinary farming is carried on, if at
all, under great difficulties they
abound. The free listing of wool
means the robbing of those farmers of
their chief source of revenue, with
nature standing guard over them to
prevent their doing anything else to
advantage.
No one knows all this better than
Senator Brice, a native of Ohio. If
he has anv nope of a political hereafter
he will show a little of the zeal thus
far expended in behalf of the sugar
trust in trying to save the sheep raisers
from impoverishment by legislation.
The last part of the tariff to be con
sidered will be thecustomsadministra.
tion act. The McKinley act really
consisted of two statute?, the one pro
viding reforms in the enfo. cement of
the other, being known as the admin
istration ad. The latter was fought
with quite as much venom as the for-
mer, and denounced as an outrage.
The undervaluation cheats at Ne
York were especially indignant. But
it would seem that this act is not to be
antagonized. At least the latest re
ports are to that effect. The truth ia,
the measure has worked so well that
the Democrats dare not repeal it.
THE STRIKE.
The strike of the Railway
Union
pgainst Pullman cars on
the different
railroads has . been inaugurated in
nearly every state, and the fight has
become very bitter between the repre
sentatives of organized labor and those
of combined capital. Corporations,
possessing vast wealth and unbounded
influence, have become very oppressive
atd arbitrary in their actions toward
the people, and it became necessary aa
a means of self-protection that those
who wnre denendent upon their labor
as a means or sustenance euumu
! t u
organizations to save themselves from
vassalage to the money" power of the
country. This effort on tne part oi
labor has been very successful, and to
day the combined societies of wage-
earners include the members of every
trade and are large and increasing in
numbers. The present sympathetic
strike as it is termed is a fair lllus
tration of the growth of these organi
zations and the power they wield in
every department of labor. Some
time ago, Mr. Pullman, of the car
works near Chicago, published a de
creased schedule of wages for his em
ployes. A protest was entered against
this, and as a result about 150,000 men
are refusing to do any work on a train
that have Pullman coaches attached,
The area that this strike covers com
prehends near the whole territory over
which the great transcontinental lines
ran. and business Bas oeen enacted m
.
almost every state of the nnion.
Without organisation, these men would
have become the vassals of Mr. Pull
man, and their objections would have
been unheeded. - As it is, the conflict
has become so widespread that it' may
be. necessary for congress to pass some
laws organizing courts of arbitration
to settle differences between employer
and employe "hen the general busi
ness of the country is liable to be in
jured thereby. ' Corporations have the
unauestionable right to fix a scale of
wages for those in their employ, and
on the other hand laborers commit no
crime by refusing to work except they
receive what they consider adequate
remuneration. In the clashing of
these privileges WTongs may be done
the public and great hardships result.
While it might lean towards paterna
Ham in government, yet if these con
tests between labor and capital could
be amicably adjusted by a court of ar
bitration business would not be sub
jected to the disturbances that so fre
quenty happen, and there would be less
bitterness of feeling between the em
ployer and employe.
THE FOURTH.
Tomorrow will be celerated through
out the country with becoming cere
monies in commemoration of the event
of the colonies declaring themselves
free and indepenpeht of Great Britain,
and never in the future history of the
republic should there be a time when
the people feel apathetic in this mat
ter. American liberty was dear!
purchased, and the , Revolutionary
fathers organized a government
which they and their posterity might
well feel proud. ' The constitution
drafted was an instrument as nearly
perfect as ever was conceived
by
human minds, and for more than
century it has withstood many tests
without its excellence being in the
least impaired. . Civil war, financial
depression and labor riots have beat
like angry billows against the edifice
without weakening the solid founda
tion upon which it rests, or causing
the people to look elsewhere for refug
or protection. It may not be safe to
judge the future by the past, and
every recurring 4th of July it is th
duty of patriotism and statesmanship
to examine carefully the signs of the
time to a certain what exigences may
have to be met in the future. ' Tomor
row can be profitably spent in this
manner, and the anniversary of our
natal day wilHhen be one of growth
as well as of rejoicing over past vic
tories. Senators Do'ph and Mitchell will
do all they can before congress for the
benefit of Oregon rivers; but this year,
when there is a constantly increasing
deficit in the treasury, public improve
ments will receive little attention.
The Democratic party baa never been
very favorable to internal improve
ments, and free trade has been such a
dear experiment to the country that
appropriations for rivers and harbors
must be placed in the background un
til a more favorable time. It cannot
be expected that there will be any
turn in the tide until protection is in
operation under a Republican admin
istration, and that cannot happen till
1896, '
RIGHTS NOT WRONGS.
The strike of the Railway Union is
becoming more serious as time elapses,
ad the stoppage of trains is doing
increased injury to producers and the
business of the country every day.
Combined capital, on the one band,
and organized labor on the other, the
former represented by Mr. Pullman
and the railroad companies and the
latter. by the Railway Union com
prising employes on railways from
coal shoveler to agents and other
minor officials are waging a fierce
conflict for supremcc?. Merchandise
and mails have been stopped in tran
sit, and the authorities in Washington
have been appealed to, and are at
tempting a settlement of the contest.
If the emergency arise United Rfates
troops will be employed to enforce the
carriage of the mails and the protec
tion of property; but the government
being of the people and for the
people a careful analysis of the situa
tion should be made before any resort
ahnnld be had to the military arm of
the nation.
The strikers are not anarchists, who
KaIiavr and advocate death and de
struction to all opposing obstacles; but
this organization of laborers is com-
intelligent, industrious and
very largely of native American cm
zens, who, under our laws, have cer
tain rights" which they consider in
alienable and sacred. Mr. Pullman is
1m un American citizen, with the
same and no more privileges. as such
than the humblest laborer who works
in his shops. He had the unquestioned
right to reduce the wages of those in
his employ, and the erogloyes com
mitted no wrong in refusing to labor
at the prices named, .runner more,
thfl Railway Union, in sympathy with
the men in the Pullman shops.violated
no law of the land in persuading the
members of the organization to refuse
to operate any railroad that had Pull
man ceaches attached. This is a fair
statement of the rights involved in this
striko which has caused so much in
jury to business.
The men at the head of the Kail-
way' Union claim there bas been no
interference witb the mails, only on
trains hauling the boycotted coaches,-
and if this is stopped, railroads will be
operated by their men as formerly. It
may be no difficult task for the well
disciplined troops of the regular army
to disperse these strikers by killing
a few of them whenever a collision
happens, and we have no doubt this
course is the one preferred . by very
. .. U 1
many, isut it tnere is a peaceauie
way out of the difficulty it is always
to be chosen rather than one that will
sacrifice human lives, and public opin
ion is of sufficient force in this coun
try to demand that lenient methods be
used. If the Railway Union withdraw
the boycott, business will soon resume
its former channels; if Mr. Pullman
would accede to the wishes of his
workmen, and the railroads reinstate
their employes now engaged in the
strike which would not create the
least hardship to any one the trouble
would end; and if U. S. troops, follow
ing monarchical methods, were to kill
a few hundred of the men which
would likely result in a bloody labor
revolntion in the country the present
inconvenience and annoyance to trade
euld cease. The choice of the plan
to be pursued should be governed by
the least suffering it would create to
the people, and by the respect not
fear it would inculcate for the law.
Those who constitute the Railway
Union are Americans and freemen
and they should be treated as such and
not like serfs and criminals.
CITIZEN 80LDIER8.
Tha coninanies of the California
National Guard are severely criticised
hv manv hs-ause they did not charge,
with fixeo5onet8, upon the strikers
at Sacraowfo when so ordered
their commanding officer. They may
have been guilty of a breach of mili
tary discipline in refusing to obey or
ders, and to those who are attracted
toward this arm of the government
such an offense will not oieet with tol
eration. But in this country the
ereatest support to free institutions is
an intelligent, independent and liberty
loving people, and tbe greatest menace
troops of well -drilled soldiers. Tb
militia at Sacramento were composed
of fellow citizens of the strikers, and
as intelligent men they did not believe
the emergency demanded the slaughter
of their neighbors with bayonets.
they had been regular soldiers, isola
ted from all communities, the - order
would have been strictly obeyed, and
the lives of the people would have
been sacrificed to gratify the notion of
a uniformed officer, who had been well
fed and well paid by the government
to execute extreme measures in cases
of imminent danger to life or property.
Tbe men who refused to allow the
trains to move with Pullman coaches
attached were not outlaws to be but?h
ered with bayonets or shot down with
rifles like wild beasts, lney were
American citizens, peaceable and law
abiding except when soulless, merciless
corporations attempt to make vas
of them to the American godship of
wealth. '
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The power of the laboring people is
constantly increasing, and plutocracy
is on the decline. The Railway Union
holds its own very well against Pull
man and tbe combined railroads,
backed by U. S. marshals.
David B. Hi'.l, who was and ia a
Democrat, voted with the Republi
cans against the Wilson tariff bill
Cleveland Pemooracy and Hill Dem
ocracrv are as wide .apart as possible,
and perhaps the senator from New
fork ia the abler expounder of the
"time honored" principles.
The Democratic chum is voiced
by Senator Allen in the discussion in
the senate chamber, when he said ne
roted for duty on sugar because
Harrison left a bankrupt treasury
when he left the White House." As
the net cash balance on thi 1st of
March, 1893, four days before Cleve
land took office, was $125,000,000
Senator Allen must be a trifle mis
taken.

As every one knows, Switzerland

submitted to a vote of the people. A
week or so ago the proposition was
thus -submitted, binding the govern

zens with work. It was defeated by a
vote of 300,000 to 85,000. The Swiss
people have hard common sense, says
the Toledo Blade, in that they recog

Those who considered a change in tne

was placed on tbe bill as a rider, without

afforded abundant opportunity for the

it was impossible to clear tbe depot
without using force, and asked for a
written order to fire, but tbe marshal re
fused to give such an order. At first be
aid that be was not aware tbat tbe
troops were under bis control, and that
he would eive no orders until tbe law
settinir that fact was pointed out to him
and it was made plain tbat tbe troops
were under his orders. Be was tben
asked by the military authorities wbat he
w&b'ed ibe troops to do and replied
tbat he wsBted tbe Yolo and American
river bridges guarded.
Acting under instruction from the
United State marshal, Ueot-al Bbeebao
commanded the Sacramento companies
to clear tbe depot .ff strikers, ibe men
marched into the depot amid tbe wildest
cheering, but when tbe order to disperse
tbe mob was given fbey lowered their
guns and ' ' marched from the depot.
Tbis was this aingal for 'a tremendous
amount of sheering. The .strikers
snouted and yelled, and one of their
number climbed upon an engine and
triumphantly wayed an American flag.
Th Stockton companies were tben
called npon tp plcar the depot, but. like
wise, laid down tneir arms anq reinrnea
to tbeir barracks.' As ho Sacramento
and Stockton companies marcnea p
seeond street to the armory they were
enthusiastically cheered. Realizing the
futility of furt ,er attemptiug to disperse
tne moo, Marshal mldwin ordered itun
eral Sbeehan to have tbe troops return to
tbe armory. Amid tbe wildest cheering
tbe soldiers then marched back to tbe
to tbe armory.
Kec-u.ars In Chicago.
Chicago, July 4 Taken in its en
tirety, tbe day has been a quiet one in
tbe strike circles, barring an occasional
flurry caused by the gathering of mobs
in tbe stockyards districts, wblcb, bow
ever, were beld in check by police and
deputies, backed up by the near prox
imity of a detachment of regular from
Fort Sheridan, for whom tbe strikers
have a wholesome respect. Trains are
once more moving at B'ue Island, tbe
turbulant e'ement having suddenly scat
tered down when oonlrouted by pieces of
ordnance and glittering bayonet. After
tbe troops disembarked at tbe stockyards,
tbe strikers vented tbeir spleen by ditch
ing tbe two tear coacbe of tbe troop
train, and disabled the engine by shoving
coupling pins into tbe cross-bead guides,
being careful, however, to wait until tbe
regulars were a safe distance away.
Ibe (Jhicago Sc Northwestern today re
sumed its passenger service, whicn is now
running regularly and without ioterfem
ence. Tne Illinois (Jentral aonouces
that its suburban passenger service will
be resumed tomorrow. Tbe Atchinson &
Topeka and Alton service is still seriously
crippled, though the former s passenger
tiains are moving on time. The iJtlti-
more & Ohio passenger service is normal,
while tbe .Nickel Plate's freight service
at a standstill, and passenger train
are Irregular. Tbe'Ohicago & Calumet
Terminal la at a standstill, ' he Michi
gan Central sent out a train of 40 cars of
meat today. Tbe Pennsylvania an
nounces that it will be moving perishable
freight to and from Chicago tomorrow.
Question of State's B!gnt.
Kansas City, July 4 An Alton train
was detained by strikers at Slater, Mo.
and beld at that place.' General J. O.
Shelby, United States marshal at Kansas
City, sent several deputies there to re
lease tbe train and allow it to proceed
on tbe ground that it wis carrying
United States mail and, as a United
States officer, it was bis duty to tbe gov
ernment to see that its functions in tbis
case, tbe expedition of tbe mail, was not
Interfered .with.
Governor Stone resented tbis as an in
terference witb tbe state rights, and
rote to General Shelby asking bim by
what right a United States officer bas to
interfere ialtroubles of this kind within
tbe state, as be believed the stale waa
perfectly capable of taking care of its
own domestic affairs, and, where not
able to do so and finding If necessary to
call for aid Irom tbe federal government,
it would do so in tbe approved constitu
tional form. General Ssbelbj replied
very tartly, adding that ne was acting
under order from tbe attorney-general to
clear up tbe passage of tbe United States
mail, and in pursuance ot these order
was to prevent such unlawful inter
ference by arresting on proper warrants
all such offenders and taking them be
fore tbe proper federal tribunal lor ex
amination. So referred Governor Stone
to tbe attorney-general for light upon
tbe subject of authority in enforcement
procedures.

" Our little baby boy la now almost tw years
old. When he was about six weeks old there
appeared a breaking out on his head and breast.
We tried various salve and soaps, but it
Continued to Crow Worse
And we took him to a doctor. Ee said It was
scrofula, but his treatment failed, and we called
upon three other physician, who termed it salt
rheum or eczema. Even tnen he grew worse.
A crust would gather on his head as thick as a
quarter and pull up with corruption. Then it
would come off, taking the hair with It. About
three months ago we resolved to try Hood's
Barsaparilla and Hood's Olive Ointment. To
day we are happy to say that Burtroa la now
Entirely Well.
The sores have all disappeared and his hair is
growing nicely. He has -only taken one bottle
of Hood's Sarsaparllla and used one box oi
Hood'snCures
Ointment. We oan now recommend Hood' Sar
saparllla to others, and truthfully say It has
worked wondeM in our little boy's case. I have
also been taking Hood' Sarsaparllla for Indiges
