Touching the steel ttrlke now attract
ing eo much attention it would appear
that Dublic ooinion is now ranging itself
either 00 the aide of the operatorsor with
the employs, and to the advantage of
the formei it la much 10 their lavor.
3 nee the rapid formation of such truets
is have come into being within recent
tuonebt many conservative perBons there
tofore onpoBed to any obstruction to the
free movement of capital have become
quite serioiiely alarmed at Ibe situation,
which to them now looks threatening;
aud it would seem to be the idea that be-caui-e
the steel trust iB a menace the
urikera ought to win their point which,
practically, is that union representatives
Bhall arrange with the trust officials the
scale of wages for all trust mills. It is
evidently believed that if the strikers
succeed it will mitigate the evils of the
truBt, and it may to some extent so far
aa tbe steel workers are concerned,
There is, however, a third elemert to
be regarded In consideration of the lab
or and trnst problems- Tbe consumer of
trust products ought to be and empbati
cally is, an interested party. Wby should
he not bave a word to say in his own in
interest? In tbe fight between operators
and proprietors bis interest seems to be
Ignored entirely. Whatever the striker
gains the trust will exact from the con
aumer, probably with interest, and it ia
difficult to Bee how he is to be benefitted
either by tbe success or failure either of
Ibe strikers or the trust. If there ia any
difference, his intereet lies In the success
of the trust, because it might be argued
that failure of the strike means lower
wages, and lower priced products. Still
it iB hardly questioned now that if manu
facturing trusts are proper, labor trusta
are also proper. But when the con bh -er'e
ideas are clear be will conclude that,
on the gigantic scale represented by the
present contestants, neither is beet for
the general good .
Tbe Btriker iB not interesting himself
'n the price tbe trust ehall receive for its
product. Be is avaricioue, when maBter
of tbe situation, aa the trust magnates,
and the consumers' interests and the
safety of our political fabric requires t' at
both ehall be controlled or prohibited
and that thing will be done. It is not

but suggestions being thrown out by

Tbe (booting of tbe President at BufTa
lo by an anarchist a the week closes
leads all events of the wek. The decent
people of tbe United States unite in
I irrow over the event. If there are any
who rejoice they are of the anarchist
order, entitled to no consideration, be
neath conletnp'. A tradgedy of thi-
cnaracter is a public calamity ol the
kreatret possible nature. It is not mere
ly a etab at the victim, '.t is a dagger in
the hear of the nation The strobe it
made not merely at tl.e head of ttie gov
etnment but a the government itself
Personally the tradgedy is to be regret
ted, for tte pergonal characier of the
president has never been questioned,
only bis political character. All respect
able people will bow in sorrow over the
affair. V
;
A government cannot be too strict in
ita treatment of the anarchist. He is
entitled to no consideration for he haa
none for others. He disregards law.
whereas law is the very essence of gov
ernment and everything else that iB good.
Tbe good citizen Ebould be etrict in bis
advocacy of everything that commands
the respect of the lws of tbe country
Even in little things one should be cir
cumspect. One should be strict down
to the ruleg of propriety that rule soci
ety. A man cannot be too honorable in
his dealings with his fellow man. One
may sometimes feel like opposing some of
tbe oppressions of the day, like the trsst
system, but there is only ono way in
which to do it, through theballot. There
can be no exense for taking the law into
one'ajlianda.
Nations as well as individuals should
be honorable in tbei; dealings with each
other. When differences arise instead
of going to war tbey ebould come togeth
er in a spirit of compromise and ami
cably settle 'thair disputes, regardless
ef the difference in strength . There
bave been few wars that could not have
been disposed of without bloodshed with
just a reasonable amount of forbearance
on each side. Most of the bloodehed of
the world has been unnecessary.
There is much talk about the trouble
between France and Turkey. Whatever
tho justice of the respective claims of tbe
countries it ie a fact that Turkey is
country which just now needs to be set

tho times, barbarous and treacherous
tho enomy of good government, inimica
to Christianity, Turkey offers little to
commend itself to the world.

The week ends with talk of settling
