ACTS, NOT WORDS. Everyone interested in right is pleas ed at the termination of the strike in Chicago. The success of the fair de pended upon the strike in a measure,as it was confined to the labor employed upon the buildings. For once labor has admitted the right of contractors to employ non-union workmen. The right of a man to work for wages can not be disputed and no organization has the power to say that he shall not work. Wisdom prevailed; cool and just heads on both sides guided the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. If the management of affairs had been in less c»i>abie hands th« same end would have been gained but at the expense of several lives. The days of the walki ng delegate seem to be numliered and when they end labor will l>e in a much better condition than now. The various organizations for the bet terment of humanity in this city made an attack upon the common council last Sunday night through what they are pleased to call a union temperance meeting. Not only the council was spoken of but the saloons of the city. It is indeed strange that the people who are pleased to call themselves good can not distinguish the fact that a saloon has the same right to exist as does a church. If the church doesnot have the ¡rower to correct the wants and de sires of a person there is no reason why it should admit the fact by reviling, and throwing the blamejfor the condi tion of things upon the common coun cil. Reverend Denton made the most pronounced statements about the coun cil and the saloons of the city. While we are in favor of the law being carried THE OFFICIAL PAPERS out to the last letter, the carrying out of this law does not depend upon the There is some crookedness in the ap- council. Rev. Denton, or any other pointmeut of the official papers of this citizen, has the ¡rower to close every county.
