The Issue as It Stands.
V IT WKHK title, as has been as
."rted that the management of
th I'nltcd States Steel corpora
tion has denied to labor the
privilege . which It has eserrlsed In Its
own hehalf, of lonsolldatlnR forces
and that this denial Is the basis of the
pres-ent slRdiitic strike, thete would be
jeason for public opinion lo view Iti
attitude wl'h nlatm. The rlsht of labor
to unionize Is as unassailable as Is the
rlqht of men lo fotm political. religious,
beneficial ot other combinations or as
foelatlims, s-iibject always to the laws
of the land
But we havo seen no pioof that Mich
an assertion is cot red. On the con
trary, theie Is Rood evidence to prove
that tlif Mi-called steel tt list promptly
recoKnizPd labor's ilpht either to union
ize or not to unionize as It saw tit.
This is contained, anions other things,
In Its offer to slpn the Amalgamated
scale for thoc of Its mills In which
that labor niKanlzatlon included the
men at work before the stilke was de
clared: a contiact dellbeiately btoken
by the aoclation when It called out
the men emplo.ved In the American Tin
Plate company's mills after the year's
basis of work and pay had been agreed
upon. The fart that the trust pioposed
Revet er terms of peace after the a.sso
ciation had peremptoilly declared war
upon It and put It to a loss of millions
of dollars Is not surprising. It offers
pxemplary warning against hot-headed
action by the men who steer the big
labor unions.
To say that the present strike is a
life and death struggle to decide the
fate of labor unions Is to assume moie
than can be piovcd. Labor unions
have existed for a good many years be
fore this strike came to pass and will,
in our judgment, exist a good many
ears alter it has ceased to vex the
current of events. This Ftrlke seems
more l.kely to decide for a time to
what extent the a.t business Inter
eats of this country ate to be fettered
by professional agitators who, without
Investing In them, or being responsible
to thofe who do Invest In them, insist
upon faying how they shall be admin
istered, and when theti dictation Is not
followed, isue ultimatums and pre
cipltate strikes.
Tyranny is as vicious under the ban
ner of labor a when piactlced in the
name of lapltal. and it is tyranny
which sayf that only worklngmen who
belong to unions hall have the right
to eain their bread in the sweat of
their brow and ve in peace while
doing It.
The piesldent has with his usual wis
dnm ref mined fioin becoming agitated
over the demands of I'emial and South
American consuls for warships It U
believed that the average representa
tive of the I'nlted States In these petty
posts will be moie diplomatic if not
backed by a lleet of battleships. When
actuallj neded the vecseis will no doubt
be forthcoming. Hut it Is not likely
that any will bo sent down In advance.
Sincere Praise from Abroad.
FOLLOWING the recent compll
ment paid In a Paris Inter
vlen, by the French ambas
Mdnr to the fnlted States.
M. .lilies Cambon, to Tiejldent Mr
Klnley nnd the -American people, whom
he eulojized In a manner certainly
fw-h as to wairant pride, theie now
comes from another distinKUlshed
Frenchman, jieihujis even better quail
fled to speak with accuiacy than M.
Cambon, U'filbute magnificent uf Its
kind. M. Jules SclRfrled, fojmer mn
l8tr of;, commercH In France, after
conipletUis it tour of this country,
mad expressly for the purpose of
studying our method and provpeet of
industry;, has written this letter to
Melville, re, ritone, general manuRer of
the Associated Press.

Those who hne traveled much among

uniformly a marked chimin In the
unolllt'lal foreign uttlitido toward us
that It Ia not to be doubted that the
change is for the better. It Is greatly
to bo deslied that there shall be a
continuous clearing up of misunder
standings. That the beet sugar Industry Is
growing In this country Is shown by
some figures recently quoted from
memory by Secretaiy of Agrlculluie
Wilson Three yeais ago we produced
315,000,000 tons, two yeais ago Cfi.000,000
tons, last year 82,i0O,O0O tons, nnd this
year the piosprcts are that we will
produce 100,000,000 tons. There will be
over forty factories running this fall,
and the demand is much greater than
the Fnlted States can supply under Its
flag, Including all of tho Mauds. Porto
Itlco, Hawaii, and the Philippines.
A Well Managed Department.
THE POSTAL service is the
latgest biflness Institution
In the I'nltc-d States under
one management and is na
turally subject to mistakes moie es
pecially In the remote small postof
flces where mall-handling is generally
an Incident to lountry store-kef ping
and a matter of little or no ptoflt to
the handler. Vet It is a wonderful
itestimonlal to tho ofHrlency with
which the affairs of this Immense de
partment arc ndmlnlslcred that the
errors and mishaps to mall in transit
are so few.
Last year complaints were received
concerning ."L',S06 letteis. of which II,
056 contained enclosuies. Complaints
were also rcc1ed concerning 47.S13
packages. These figures, standing
alone, look big. but they lose that as
pect when considered alongside the
fact that moie than 8,000,000.000 pieces
of postal matter were can led during
the ear: so that, taking all these
complaints as equivalent to losses
though, as a matter of fact, a laige
peicentag,- of them were subsequent
ly straightened out theie would yet
be only one loss In SO.uoO pieces of
moil matter handled. Last year there
were 33,000,0000 Issues of money or
deis. repiesentlng the handling of
neaily half a billion dollars, and tho
loss Is only a few cents.
There are about TT.Om) postofllccs In
the L'nited Slates, and of these l.ti35
were lobbed last yeai, and 613 destioy
ed by Hie. Seventy-one postal c.us
were wrecked, 37 stage coaches weie
held up, 3 mail wagons were looted.
656 mall pouches were stolen. 74.! wcio
cut. 1,"S sticet and rut a) letter boxes
weie tilled. In other words, the pei
ccntage of loss by casualty or crime is
less than It Is In any other business
enterprise of magnitude; and while
this great institution, as a result of
excessive past liberality In the matter
of second-class mall abuses has been
i tin at a loss, thanks to the present
accomplished postmastei general, llqn.

Proposed New Calendar.
MFLAMMAIUON. the
French astronomer,
proposes lo reform the
piesenr calendar so
that it shall conform to the following
ah"tiaet principles:
I. The new calendar must be unl
fonn, oar after cai, I, e., the same
day of the week must elways cor
respond to the same day of the month.
II. The ,ear must commence at the
vernal equlnoxIMaich 21). 111. Theie
must be either twelve months of 30,
30, 31 days, or, more logically, thirteen
mouths of 2S days. On the whole, M.
Flammarion piefers the tlrst at range
nnnt."Py dint of rtejlrlng simplici
ty," he sas "we ought not tu fall
Into monotony." Moteoer, as he also
'sajs. the number twelve hn the great
est advantage In lending itself to
division by six, four and tluee -an ad
vantage not possessed by the metilc
sjstem with Its radix of ten. The
new months must be named. Ho pro
posea the following nomenclatuie: The
Ur.'lt month Is to be vailed Truth
(30 days), the next Science (30). then
Wisdom (31). Justice (30), Honor (30),
(.oodnes (31), Love (30), Heaut (30),
Humanity (3D, Happiness (31), Prog,
ress (30). Immortality (31).
Twelve mouths as abovo make fifty
two weeks of seven da each, or 364
days. The ftm day of the year is a
holldiy and has no number It Is the
the day zoio It belongs to no month.
In leap jears there ate to be two zeio
days, zero number one, zero number
two. Such a calendar, ho says, need
not be printed on pastcboaids that
must be changed every year. "It can
be cngiaved on Ivory, bronze or sli
ver." The error of this colendar, as a
writer In the New York Sun points out,
Is one day every 3,000 yt-aje, nnd M.
Flammarion proposes to leave that dis
crepancy to be dealt with by our te
mote descendants. Ho advocates this
calendar's adoption because It Is "ra
tional, perpetual and unlvcisal, not
arbitrary, Illogical and variable." Hut
he Is wasting his enthusiasm,
Now that the loving cup for Cevera
project has been universally "in-,
domed," It might be well for some ono
to pass mound tho hat.
City and Country.
INCB the civil war there has
been a rapid drift of popula
tion into the cities. This
s
drift began to giow notably
about "0 years ago, when our cities

Here, In 110 jeats, Is n tenfold urban
growth; hut while the percentage of
city to total population Is growing the
rate of Its growth has passed the
maximum and Is now declining. Be
tween 1RS0 and UfiO the city population,
It will be noted, grew 6 6 per cent.,
while In the past decade It grew but
3.9, or a fraction over nne-hnlf the
gain in the Immediately piecedlng
decade. Thin tt hIso the smallest
growth with one exception In six
decades; and there does not seem to be
any escape from tho cnncltudon that
while the cities are not going to be de
seted In the nea futuie, the fear
of a stampede to them may be dismiss
ed and the law of compensation may
be telled upon to pteserve a healthy
balance between those living In the
cities and those Inhabiting the farms.
Senator Tillman says that the white
