Similar conditions are teported by the Now York slate department of labor In Uuft'alo, and Jloehester. in other words, the spread of substantial piosperlty continues, notwithstanding tho tips and downs ot speculation. Y have no doubt that the flRurcs for Pennsylvania, If simil arly tnbulalcd, would show a similar result.

Ah u rule he Is underpaid and liable at any time to be turned adrift by his employer, in consequence of which hn iiMkot) hay while ho cun. Hwt how 1u remedy these conditions our contemporary does not ny, If, In deed, It hnows. The probabilities are that no remedy Is possible short of the formation of n strong corporation to take over and systematize the business of cab-lcttlng along the linos of the two railroad companies above mentioned, who have been compelled to enter this field in protection of their pnssengcis. The public at Jargo knows very llt tlu about the row In the National base bnll league, and, to till appearances, cares less. About tho only thing the public Is certain of Is that the big league mupl change Its methods und pldy good, clean ball or do without attendance. T lyo:' In an Interview In the Pittsburg Gazette former fiovernor Pnttlfon In timates that he Is willing once more to siivc the state. As a state-saver ho certainly has quite a lecoril, but this Is one of tie years when the stute will not need salvation at the hands of a Democrat. F Postponed. HOM reliable reports It ap pears Hint Hie conservatives have carried the day in tho matter of the Urumpacker resolution for a committee to investi gate the restriction of suffrage In the various states. There is to he no iur ther action in this matter at the pres ent session of congress. The Demo cratic leaders who rait-ed tho bogey cry of "force bill," "revival of &ectional ism," "bloody shirt" and "sure method of insuring Democratic leunlon" ap pear to have carried their point, which was to scaio the Renubllcan managers Into pigeon-holing- the whole matter. The excuse given for postponing the proposed Investigation is that "public opinion has not yet ripened," bat it would be Interesting to know by what process of reasoning it is assumed that public opinion needs to iipen before congress shall be warranted In inquir ing into an alleged slate of fuels in direct conillet with the constitution of the United States. The fact which seems most closely to lit the attitude of the majority is that among the men now in the lead in the house are some who lack either tho courage of their convictions or are de llcient in convictions. Their view is ttoo eloselv at the immediate and too little at the ultimate effect. The de nial of suffrage to the negro, as prac ticed in various Southern states, can be strongly defended fiom-lho stand point of the Southern white; but there is no possible defense of using the negro to get a large representation in congress and then disfranchising him by grossly unfair discriminations. Eith er the negro must have the vote which the highest law of ihe land declares that he is entitled to, or the men who lestrlct tlie sulfrnge must lestrict their representation in proportion. That is tho lawful and the equitable view; therefore, It is also, in a broad Inter pretation, such as statesmen should take of public Issues, the expedient view. That this wiong can ever be lighted without mflllng Hie feutheis ot those who politically profit by its continu ance wo do not believe. If tho repub lican majority is walling for such a time to come to pass It may as welt postpone the subject Indefinitely. But if a great and notorious wiong can be committed and gloried in cm the door of the American congress and those who know it to be a wrong and whoso sense of fairness calls for Its righting are iil'ruid even to undertake an Inquiry Into the matter lest it should offend the beneficiaries of that wiong, a condition of affalis Is indicated which we should hesitate to believe true of the Itepubllean party. 110 New York court, of ap peals has decided that work- Ingmen organized into la bor unions have the right to strike to pi event the employment of worklngmeu not so organized. The opinion of the court says: "They (worklngmen) have the right to strike, provided tlie object is not lo gratify malice or Inflict Injury upon others, but to secute better terms of employment for themselves. A peace ful and orderly strike is not in viola tion of the law. A body of men. hav ing organized for purposes deemed ben eficial to themselves, have the light, if they feel It is detrimental to interests of their organization, to refuse lo work. Their reasons may seem Inad equate to others, but if it seems to be in their interest as' luembcts of an or ganization to refuse longer to work, it is their legal light. So long as woik nit'ii must assume all the lisk of Injury that may some to them through' tho cai elessness of coemployes, they have the moral and legal right to say that they will not work with certain men, and the employer must take their dic tation or go without their services. A labor oruanization is endowed with precisely the same legal right as is an individual to threaten to do that which it may lawfully do." This is sound law. The converse of it is also sound: namely, that if an employer does not wish to employ ex clusively worklngmen organized into a union he can dismiss the union workers and take the consequences. In that event, his property is not to be injured and men whom he hires are not to be nttacKed or intimidated. Liberty with in the law Is the fundamental rule in this country and it works both ways. In tho long ran, dictation on either side, enforced by threats or the might of superior strength, is a poor basis of mutual prosperity, since It leads to almost endless 111 will, sullemiess and friction. Much the better plan is for both employers and employes to try to be just to each other: to cultivate friendly instead of hostile relations; and to desist from recklessly locking tho boat that holds both. The (IoUIp.m Rule is Hie best rule, notwithstanding its apparent absence from many vex ing situations. It will In; fair to n wait what reason Bulgaria gives for objecting to Charles M. Dickinson as American diplomatic agent at Sofia. But the many Scran ton friends of Jtr. Dickinson are will ing to wager that Hulgariu's reason won't hold water. Senator Drury announces that his experience with the "Insurgent" type of political reformer has led him to wish for a change of environment. AVo await tho Judgment of the estepmed AVIIkos-Uane Ttecord. The statisticians who are endeavor ing to explain tho cause of tho advance In prices of meat would confer a great er benefit on the public; if they would devise some plan that would enable us to pay the Ineiease. The rapid advance In the price of beef threutens to again stir the Belgian hare enthusiasts to activity. It is evident that some one must have twisted the "tail of March on the eve of departure.

N THE excavations made in th vicinity of tho court house samite large quantities of peat have been removed. It may be inter esting to know that two uses for this substance have lecpntly been found. One, ,by a prouess not divulged, con verts '.tbf iieat Into n. highly carbonized fuel resembling coke but much more Jasliner In combustion nnd also cheaper. The claim Is mndo In behalf of this dis covery thut It will provide u superior Mtbstltutu for anthracite' coal when the supply of the latter becomes ox haunted. The attention of men of large wealth has been turned toward the piocess unci the Information which wu have Id that they me favorably im pressed wilh it. According to Kuhlow's lierumu Triulo RovJijw, t means of using peat libra lias been discovered ut Dusheldoif a films which Is capable of being spun, whlclrjis ubsorbent, niid which can be ldeacbd "and dyed. The vegetable fibres ire first isolated, and treated with oSids and alkalis, tho jesult tbelng (i peat wool consisting nt nearly pure cellulose, This wool Is soft, elastto and f.ipable of being used in tho same way 3H sheep's wool, AVIth the addition ut cotton or Bheep's wool, yarn can bu spun which Is usetul for various cloth lug fabrics, Jt manufai'tuies into a fine felt and from It felt hats are made, Dress start's and carpels arc made front It, and Jf the way can be found to ie duce tha libra Into a liner thread its employment in hosiery manufacturo Is predicted. Another useful quality of this yam la Its adaptability (o the needs of surgery, it making an excel t lent dressing for wounds.

Tt iirses a more effective regulation of eab charges. This the municipality has the power to do nnd by ordinance has tried to do, but like many other wise laws, this ordinance Is not properly enforced, Says our contemporary: "When the ofllcers of the llohenzol lern were here a good Illustration of the outrngeotiM conditions existing- ninong cabbies was furnished. These ollleers, who were unacquainted wilh tho city nnd had only a limited amount of time to spend In seeing It, had to pay $3 and $7 to cabmen for being carried liom Herald Square to tlie Christopher street forty. The result was that tho ofllcers .remained on shipboard rather than run tho lisk of such treatment. Such an outrageous and disgraceful scandal as this might have been expected to arouse some outburst or publlo sentiment, lint Now Yorkers proved too hardened and loo resigned to tho sltuntlon, and the sumo condition continued to ptovail," There are two items as to which the Tribune demands reform. Klrst, a lowering of ihe lurlff which tlie city permits the cubmen to charge. Fifty cents 11 mile Is the lawful charge: anil twenty avenue or seven stteet blocks constitute a mllo; yet tile Tribune as serts that In Philadelphia. Chicago or llostou the rate Is much lower, and It adds: "For it shilling one can cover n wide men in London, in Pails or ller lln, where the closest sort of scrutiny la kept on the cabs, it is posMblo to hecttio a carriage for tin entire day for what Is charged to take two or mote passengers In 11 carriage with their baggage to the American or Canard pier fiom any street north of Flfty-nlnth stteet. .Moreover. In l.undon If one lias any dis puto with tho 'cubby a reference of tho matter to a policeman Insures u proper settlement. Then tlie cabmen may, In addition, lose his license, for ho will ceitainly ho reported to the authorities by the olllcer. lleto the police are thor oughly In Hynumthy with tho cabmen, and can depend on a 'rake-oft" for any over-charge that may be Iieunltted by them." Tlie stcond Item glows logically out of tlio hist: 'Prevention of extortion. Notwithstanding the legal r.tto of CO cents it mile, it is practically Impossible to get a cab for the shortest distance lor less than $1, unless one rhlea )n a Pennsylvania or 'New Yoik Central hack, and to do that It Is neee&snry to go to one of tlie, stations of these rail roads, If tho passenger objects to pay ing more than the legal rate, a row follows and both cubby and passenger have to be huttled before u magistrate Eugene Field's Story.
