A splinter of a stone recently tell off the White House. Disintegration of the material or stone of which the house is built is thought to be the cause. Another overhauling is now likely to follow. There's been enough money spent on the inside and out side of that house to build an ever lasting house fit for a foreign potent' ate whose salary is twice that of our President. War between China and Japan is now about ripe according to news paper reports. Japan is the aggressor with 10,000 troops already in Corea, and with large reinforcements availa ble. The exact cause of the present trouble in heatherdom we have yet to learn. But if Christians violate all sense of honor at times in church and State affairs we may reasonably ex pect the heathen to do likewise. The Pension Bill giving to the de fenders of this Government 150 million dollars passed the Democratic Senate without a quibble. This may be accounted for by the fact that there are about as many Democratic pensioners to-day as there are those who still belong to the Republican party. The Republican party's great mistake was that it did not pension the soldiers during the many years it had the chance. Jsow the honors are divided. We now have 356 Congressmen and 88 Senators in each others way more or less. One-third of this num ber, within easy reach of their con stituents by direct vote, would be the wisest kind of wise economy, and it would have a mighty influence in hastening pure legislation, and also in retarding the impure kind. In falling over each other in their anxiety to earn their $5,000 salary and to make a record, they often pull the wrong string to suit tneir constituents. What this country needs is fewer Congress men at 55,000 a year and perquisites, THe weak attempt to intimidate il not to kill Yice President Wickes, of the Pullman Company, by sending him a bottle charged with explosives through the hands of a weak-minded individual should have been traced up and punished. If labor wants sympathy, this is not the way to create it in America. However well such anarchic plans may work abroad this country is too young and too fond of law and order to either sanction or approve of this wild manner of re dressing real or imaginary wrongs. Let us be thankful, as patriots ought to be, for the continuance and perma nence of the righteous influence of the founders of this God-blest Gov ernment. The political attitude of thcA'a tional Record of Danville is not fully comprehended, it seems. Concerning the misconstruction recently put upon it the editor says in his last issui : "The old rot of a politician who informed one of our friends that the Record was an Anarchist paper ought to spend a few days in school. We would like to meet the dupe upon the difference between Anarchism and Populism. The Populist believes in settling all difference between capital and labor at the ballot-box by con stitutional method. The Anarchists, just reverse by bloodshed, incendi arism and revolution. Don't you see, you ignoramus ? It is the gold ring the Populists are after, which is the cause of all the present distress." No Griping, no Nausea, no Pain, when De Witt's Little Early Risers are taken. Small Pill. Safe Pill. Best PilL W. S. Rishton, Druggist. tf. The Sovereign's Power Powerless. Notwithstanding the great preten sion of Grand Master Sovereign, as to a universal strike, not more than 5.0:0 trades-union members took kindly to his call to quit work. All the way from 500.000 to a million was his biz estimate. The plan of course com prehended the calling out of every laboring man m the country if possible. Ti he trouble is there is too much de moralizing politics and too many divergent ideas in the labor movement itself for anything like harmony or a universal response to the cail of or ganized labor leaders. And, besides, :t is not j'ist every poor man with a family to support who can afford to quit his wotk, either to lie idle or to go to plundering or begging for a living The idea of plunder and arson is foreign to the true American. But yet, on the other hand, it must be ad mitted that to stnke without arbitrary action against the employer and also against those who would take all places vacated, would be worse than useless, it would be self-robbery on the part of the striker. If differences between nations may be settled by arbitration, and warfare be thus averted, why not thus settle differences between labor and capital ? If capital is too greedy after getting its chartered rights and special privi leges to remember that "the laborer is worthy of his hire," and enough of i t at least to raise and educate a family respectably and comfortably, then labor should have representatives in Congress and the legislatures to look after the annulment of those chartered and protected rights and privileges of capital, and to see to it that there are some deserved rights and privileges also extended to labor as well as to capital. Until labor has true and taithful representatives standing up for them like men, and who are not afraid of ridicule or contempt in the halls of legislation, she must expect to rely upon the mercy and generosity of capital made rich and haughty fre quently through the poor man's labor. For one we are not willing to admit that representatives above the price and bribe offered by capital cannot be found for the halls of Congress and the State Legislatures. If the out come of the present strife does not develop such characters and represen tatives we shall be much disappointed. Capital takes care to have its rights and privileges legalized, and so must labor, it it ever hopes to hold its own against the highly protected classes. In a country like this, where the vest ed power is always in the hands cf the majority, and the laboring classes al ways making up that majority, where is the policy or where the excuse or justification tor arson, murder, or bomb-throwing. The God who gave us this best government on earth ex pects its greatest blessing to all to be wrought out through the peacetul and quiet instrumentality of the ballot and not through the bullet. TEE STRENGTH OP 0EQA5IZED LABOR. The liberal wages paid railroad men and their generous contribution to ward a sustenance fund to bridge over strikes, &c, gives them more avail able cash in their treasury than is at hand in any other labor organization in the country. The report of their financial weakness is wrong. The as sociation had been industriously ac cumulating money for over a year p: c ceding the recent strike. Their re ceipts for the month of June was over $10,000 which came from the single source of dues paid in. And one day's receipts in the month of July loots up to about $1,000. Hence to suppose that the railroad men are without money is all a mistake. Were they all to obey orders and come out together and stay out for a single month, there is no estimating the great loss to railroads that would re sult from it. And now Senator Don Cameron is credited with a Presidential buzz in his political head-gear. But as the bar rel will not supplant personal magnet ism, both Cameron and bhcrman are nowhere compared with Reed in this respect. For Reed is a magnet among men. However, the innocent bee should be permitted to buzz just as long as it can make music that magni fies and, in a harmless way, elevates the love-sick aspirant. Old Simon used to say ' thumbs up," but he never ran tor President. Whatever mistakes Debs, the labor strike leader, may have made in his various wild assertions he is not wide of the mark in concluding that "a three months continued strike would bankrupt every railroad running into Chicago." It is indeed quite possible for employees to ruin employers, es pecially where the employers have more valuable property than they can pretend to guard, as s the case with all railroads. It is just impossible to completely guard it where destruction is determined upon along its entire line. If it be true, as Senator Hill siva. that the agitation for an income tax is but a bid for Populist votes, then, we should like to inquire, what sort of a bid is he maVinor hv hnldintr alnnf a j 9 from this popular idea, even to the extent of standing in with his avowed political enemies. GOOD EOADS. This theme, which as vet is on'v lightly entertained in thi? section as an impracticable cranky notion atritated by Coxey, is after all a broad, deep, arid quite worthy one S. much so that papers and magazines of no mean pretension are giving it earnest con siperation and elucidation. The very good roads of the older countries will no doubt eventually supplant our wagon-breaking and horse killing Am erican roads. And what belter in vestment could le made of any super fluous funds in the State or national treasuries? What appropriation of such funds that the mind can con ceive of would be more universal or so far reaching in its beneficial effects to man and beast of this country. If it is true, as we have often thought, that the great bulk of money apptopriatcd for so-called public purposes and ben efits, is after all gotten through false representation and in the interest of a class or a tew, it surely would not be so with money spent upon public thoroughfares. Why not spend State and National money on continental thoroughfares as well and freely as up on water thoroughtares rivers, har bors, &c ? Rivers and harbors have received State and National appropri ation as far back as we can remember, while the great bulk of travel and transportation after all is done over land as best it can be and at the ex pense of the impoverished farmer and gain of railroads. Because much public money is wasted annually through the river and harbor bill by the vain attempt to make navigable certain insignificant water ways or streams which the God of nature never intended should be navigable foi anything larger than a raft or ba teau, is no logical arguments against good continental roads, which are the common property of all mankind.even including the bicyclers who pay taxes as well as those who don't. We believe the time is at hand when the old fashioned toll-gates, with their extortionate privileges in the in terest of corporate power and cor porate cunning, should be abolished ; and that the idle and superfluous funds of the States and also the nation should be liberally invested in making and maintaining good roads for the common good of the good subjects that may be found struggling for financial life in the rural districts. We have not exhausted this subject by any means. For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of Bay City, Mich., accidentally spilled scalding water over her little boy. She promptly applied De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve, giving instant relief. Its wonderful good salve for burns, bruises, sores, and a sure cure for Piles. W. S. Rishton, Druggist. tf. If the Great Eastern was the largest vessel the Minneapolis has proven herselt to be the fastest in the world, Hitherto the Columbia bore the honors in point of time-making. The Minneapolis is a triple-screw cruiser that can skim along at the rate of a little more than a6i miles an hour. That will do for boat-riding. The Government's offer of a bonus besides the contract price for building her has no doubt proved a great incentive to make her get along. The bonus paid is $400,000. And what the entire contract netted is their private business we suppose. Somebody is getting rich through Uncle Sam right alons. Though the Chinese government officials are trying to suppress the terrible truth, reliable report, direct from Canton, says that in this city alone 40,000 deaths lave occurred from cholera which is spreading throughout the Chinese empire. We have often wondered whether a little Christianity and cleanliness would not rid heathendom of its terrible plagues.
