Newspaper Page Text(-ZJ t mU gfovhuu ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY . MAltCII 10. 18S6 THE LABOR STRIKES. Fi:oi the Pennsylvania coal mines, the Texas railroad depots, the New York car shops, the Pittbburg iron mills, wherever in the east great bodies ol men are massed in work, come daily re ports of strikes, jefusal to work unless certain conditions differing from the present are conceded by the employers. In this the3r are justifiable just so far as their rights and privileges are infringed. The causes that underlie this universal movement are too many, too farrcaching, too complex to be discussed in the limits of a short newspaper article. It must be borne in mind that the men who work with their hands, who are made by force of necessi ty to toil for twelve, fourteen, sixteen hours a day for a mere pittance are not chiefly responsi ble for the unrest, disturbance and revolt now arising everywhere, which threaten society with the prospect of a long period of anxi ety and uncertainty. Until very recently the' have had little to do with making laws. Our legisla tion has been shaped in accord ance with the judgment and the wishes of tho people of wealth and culture, and they are rightly to be credited with its results. If our present economic system is good or bad it is not the creation of workingmen. If the laborers are ignorant they have not been taught. They have hitherto at tempted but little be3ond their daily toil, and it is not strange if their language is often crude, or if their thought lacks the coher ence and symmetry imparted by training and practice in the art of expression. But the honesty and healthfulness of hard work are fa vorable to wisdom within a limit ed sphere. When people attend to their own business they are likely to learn something about it, and the thought of men who work with their hands for wages is like ly to be as worthy of patient and sympathetic attention as that of other people. Men have studied the life and thought of ancient Greece and Horns with infinite patience, picking it up scrap by scrap, tracking faint hints and suggestions in all directions, till they really know something about it, and can reconstruct it fairly well, and everybody may read and know what caused strikes and ri ots and popular discontents in those countries thousands of years ago. And multitudes of Ameri cans know more of all this than they do of the living history of their own country and time. They think the ancient lessons the more instructive and valuable. The ps3Tchology of the serfs of the mine and the mill of the present day is an unexplored region, a ter ra incognita to them. They can not speak its language. Mr. Powderly's perception of the injury to American workmen re sulting from unrestricted Euro pean emigration is probably the most valuable contribution which the order of the Knights of Labor has made to the thought of the time. It is cautiously brought for ward, but it suggests ideas which should receive attention and de velopment. Our country should strictly fulfill all the obligations it assumes in treaties with other na tions, but there is now no good reason for our inviting "the poor and oppressed of other lands1' to come here to live. In earlier times we thought we needed a larger population. It is plain that no such need afflicts us to-day. This country should belong to tho people who are already here, and to their children. Such convic tions have been developed in the minds of many workingmen by experience, and, in his treatment of this subject, Mr. Powderly has expressed what,isJ"elt by myriads. The people who work with their hands constitute tho most important element and factor in the national character and welfare. The moral soundness, the social health and the intellectual vision and sanity of the nation depend principally upon the character of working people, and if maintained permanently, must be perpetually recruited and reinforced from their vitality. The only effectire criticism of the teaching or action of the Knights of Labor must be the presentation of something wiser and better. A Washington" dispatch says: There is much indignation at the Chinese legation over the presi dent's recent message on the ques tion of the Rock Springs indem nity demand. The Chinese min ister is said to be particularly of fended with the president's con clusion that he will bring the Rock Springs incident to the ben evolent consideration of congress, so that the bounty of the govern ment may be directed in aid of innocent and peaceful strangers, with the understanding that such action shall not be held as a prece dent, and is resorted to in a spirit of pure generosity. The minister cannot comprehend the American idea that the 'courts arc a forum to which the aggrieved may resort for relief. His note is imbued with the idea that the government should sei'e alien rioters and cut their heads of, according to the traditional policy of China. Ger man and English diplomatic rep resentatives here, who are on the best of terms with the Chinese minister, are throwing their influ ence to create dissension and the British and German legations arc hoping that this event will cause a breach between the United States and China. There is more in the old ex pression "don't know beans," than most people think. In 1884 they were placed by a decision of the United States court in tne cate gory of garden seeds, on which twenty per cent duly is payable. Subsequently they took position as vegetables dutiable at ten per cent, and an attorney successfully argued against the assistant dis trict attorney that they should be admitted free of duty under the classification of "beans, drugs not edible in a crude state." The Northern Pacific road will build several important feeders in Montana and "Washington territo ry this summer. Butte City is to be connected by a branch, and two branches are contemplated from Spokane Falls, "W. T. one into the Casur d'Alene gold fields, and the other southward into the great wheat-growing fields of the Snake river. Indians may make homestead entries, but cannot commute the same to cash entries, nor can they incumber or transfer their claims by their own act or through judg ment of court. The land is theirs absolutely and inalienably, for twenty years after issue of patent. Birmingham, England still makes flint-lock muskets for use in the interior of Africa, where percussion caps or any form of fixed ammunition would often be impossible to obtain, while- pow der can always.be made and flints picked up in the desert. Gen. John F. Miller, U. S. senator from California, died in Washington last Monday. His term of office would have expired on the 4th of next March. Gov. Stoneman will probably appoint Judge "Wallace to fill the vacancy. NEW TO-BAY. Eggs for Hatching! Wyandottes and S. C. B. Leghorns. My birds are of the best strains, and all first class.
