One Salutary Lesson. It is said that Martin Irons, who luring the (Southwestern strike of 1SSU was for a time a "bigger man than Hraiil" mid almost as huge as Debs is today, is now living iu the O.ark mountains of Missouri, under an as unied name, a literal wreck. A cor respondent recently found Irons living tho life of a veritable vagrant. lions said to the reporter, according to t he latter's version: "I never was a leader. L found myself on the back of a run away horse. I could not stop him. 1 was iu for a fall anyhow, so wit up itraight and pretended to be a dashing and accomplished horseman. The 'bluir worked f.ir awhile. When 1 did Tall the men who most admired my horsemanship were the first to kick me as I lay bruised and bleeding in the flitch." This may not be true, but it is cer tainly plausible. One does not have to go a great distance from home to liud instances iu business and social life of such "binds," which quit J often End by landing the bluil'ers "bruised and bleeding in the ditch." There is probably as great a proportion of sen sible and conservative men in the la bor uuions of the United States as there is in any other class of organiza tions, social, fraternal or political. The great difficulty is that these men let the radicals and the hotheads push in ahead of them, seize hold of the parliamentary reins and proceed to drive the organization to a selfish and nnretlective quick step, often ending In a frightful wreck. The lesson of the Debs conspiracy has beeu expensively learned; but if it shall bring the sensible workingmon to the front and result, if only for the moment, iu relegating tho scum and rill' raft' to the rear, the tuition will not have been settled for in vain. It avas both unkind and unjust to try to hold the Kecley cure responsible for Debs. It is pointed out as a significant fact that where, six years ago, there was not a single paper priuted in tho territory between Carbondale and Ecranton, there are Unlay six bright and prosperous local weeklies. The more the merrier, say we. The com munity whoso reading taste is a grow ing one Is a community wortli living in. It is a community which is on the highway to prosperity and culture. The safest political prophet is the one who makes his predictions after the returns ure in. Mr. Pullman's Defense. In some particulars Mr. Pullman's elaborate defense clears away misap prehensions. Its weakness, however, is in failing to justify tho company's refusal to submit the proof of its asser tions to a disinterested and impartial committee of outsiders, not necessarily for publication but as a guarantee of good faith. This would not commit it to any unfair arbitration. It would Bimply test whether or not it had beeu telling the truth. Less than two mouths ago the Pull man company, we understand, de clared a quarterly dividend amounting to $0(10,000. This is at the rate of eight per cent, per annum, and does not ap pear to indicate that Mr. Pullman has recently been in any danger of being Bent to the poor house. It is, of course, his legal right to refuse to submit proof of his assertions of philanthropic pur poses at a time when, If they were proved, it would leave the big strike not a single leg to stand on. But it Is not a wise nor a manly policy and it will in the long run do Mr. Pullman more harm than good. We say this with tho more freedom Inasmuch aa we have consistently aud persistently opposed the insurrection which took the Pullman difficulty as Its excuse, for existence. The fact that Debs was wrong, however, does not necessarily imply that Pullman is right. As a general rule it may be (aid with safety that the man who runs away from a fair investigation has reasons of his own for shunning publicity. An honest man with an honest cause ought not to fear the honest scrutiny of others. It is gratifying to observe that the esteemed London Times is slowly falling into the American habit of printing a real newspaper. Minnesota Republicans want the government to "control" the railroads and telegraphs, while Minnesota Pop ulists want it to "own" them. Here Is a distinction with a difference. The constitution already gives the govern- nieiit power to "control" Inter-state carriers up to the limits of publio ne cessity; but it doesn't either give it the power or the cash to go into business for itself. If the on eat west shall not have a good deal to say about the nomina tion and election of the next president of the United States it will be because it will generously waive its preroga tive. The geographical center of the republic, exclusive of Alaska, lies in the northwestern corner of Kansas; and the political center, you can rest assured, will not always remain east of the Pennsylvania state line. Not Personally a Failure. We cannot agree with all of the ap pended extract from the esteemed Min neapolis Times: "It is remarkable that tho great labor inovemeuts of this country have not yet developed a really great leader. T. V. Powderly came nearest to achieving honorable distinction, and It is certain that he was one of the ablest and most astute of thejeaders whom labor agitations have thrown to the surface. But he was repudiated by the very organization he had served with distinguished sagacity and success, and now ranks among the great failures of the age." It is not the belief of Mr. Pow derly's neighbors and friends that he "ranks among the great failures of the age." They attribute what ever of failure there is iu his ca reer not to any lack of individual ability or energy; but to the inevitable circumstances of his past position. Many of them doubt whether the theory of democratic institutions really contemplates that one man or one body of men, occupying ofliee not conferred upon tliem by a free and open ballot of their fellow citizens, should, no matter how able and well disposed, have greater power over tho daily vocationsof American wage-earners than is exercised in time of peace by any king on any throne in Christen dom, over those subject to his rule. And to this anomaly they are disposed to credit many blunders, not only of Mr. Powderly but of all who may be placed as he has been, at the head of unnatural conditions and in executive charge of an abnormal system. If there is anything that has the ap pearance of failure in Mr. Powderly's past, we, too. prefer to credit it to the defects of the system with which he has been identified rather than to personal shortcomings. Wo are of those who believe, mayhap mistakenly but certainly sincerely, that each American, iu the final analysis of things industrial, as well as civic, must work out his own destiny by hia own individual eHbrts, begging nothing save fair play and fearing nothing save God and the devil. If this belief is wronir. we have indeed read history and studied passing events to a poor pur pose. The nomination by a Wilkes-Parre contemporary of John I I. ltice, Penn sylvania chairman of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, for tho leg islature on the Republican ticket from the First Luzerne district would be more plausible if Mr. Eiee were not, uufortunately, a Democrat. The Way to Test It. That was certainly an impressive scene when tho Now York constitu tional convention at Albany, upon motion of a Democratic member, voted, by a rising, unanimous expression, its condemnation of a scurrilous personal attack upon the character of one of its most honored Republican members, ex-Minister John M. Francis of Troy, made by a henchman of Senator Ed ward Murphy in reveuge for the vig orous exposure of Murphyism In Mr. Francis' paper, the Troy Times. The personal character of a man who had thrice represented his gov ernment at foreign courts and who, at the recent New York election, led the entire ticket as a candidate for dele' gate-at-large to the convention which is now revising tho Empire state's fundamental law would have to be bad, Indeed, if it did not make a fav orahlu comparison with the character of the man whose political throne Is a beer keg and whose political weapons are those of thugs, bruisers, paid re peaters aud assassins. Upon such an issue as this wo have no doubt the people of New York state would elect Editor Francis governor over either Flower or Murphy by a mnjority'beside which that that llrst made 0 rover Cleveland a "man of destiny" would sink into insignill canoe. Tho people of our sister com monwealth would love Mr. Francis no less for the enemies he has made than for the good work that he has himself done as journalist, publicist aud diplo matist. Will the Democratic party brave this test? It is a token of better times that tho MinnncBota Populists, who two years ago made such a furore because a 'Republican legislature wanted the public school funds to bo expended on the public schools, aud not on denoml national seminaries, have just adopted resolutions opposing tho use of publio money for sectarian purposes. Time Is truly the great vindicator. Worth of Business Colleges. The purposed establishment iu this city of a uow business college, under the conduct and control of two young gentlemen who have, in other rela- tions, demonstrated their ability, steadiness and enterprise, is an event of some interest to the business public. The knowledge to be derived from a systematic and thorough course of training in bookkeeping, commercial law, mathematics and business forms Is of undoubted value. To young men anxious to succeed in life, the advant ages offered by a genuine course in a real business Bcbool are numerous. While they may not do everything for the pupil, they at least start him aright and deliver him over to the post-graduate school of actual experience well fitted, If there be anything substantial in hhn, to hold his own. Wo believe thoroughly in the In structive value of downright hard work. Those whom we call lelf-mado men are examples of It. But It would be manifestly false logic to contend that because some men, by the sheer force of their own intrinsic merits, are enabled to rise iu life independent of tho help held out by schools the latter are to be despised.' Tho boy who is thrown overboard, either with or with out a scholastic training, must Biuk or swim, In strict accordance with liia own inherent value. But the aid given to hhn by an honest school edu cation often develops and polishes powers otherwise undreamed of and adds to his usefulness to society. The purpose of the Scrauton Busi ness college, as we understand it, is to give real valuo for all tuition received. It is not its intention to attempt any humbug. The proprietors do not wish to drag youug men inlj their clutches, squeeze the pennies out of their pockets and when thU process is exhausted, cast them forth upon the biiiJnem world with tiLcsjud business educations that lmve la mu'iy i!tauce3 to bo un learned before tho "grndiulea" tne lifted to perform iv&l wjk for their employer.
