STRIKI S AND LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.
The past week has witnessed more dis
turbanco among the laboring clusses tban
has taken place in tbe same space of time
for a long period. Not only in this the
case in this country, but Europe has felt
the pulsation even to the extent that the
powerful military organizations ot that
continent were kept in readiness for any
emergency that migt arise And all this
nervous state of things is the result of the
efforts of the laboring man -the primary
force in the creation of wealtu—to get in
the shape of wages a larger share of the
products of his own toil. Things have
got into such state that for the laboring
man to get more than a bare living as the
result of his toil he must band together
with his fellows and use entreaties and
threats and even strikes—which are only
a mild form of warfare —to force his em
ployers to give him in the form of wages
a little more of the wealth which he
creates, that he and his' family
may taste something of the pleas
ures, which can not be found
where there is unremitting toil. Despite
the fact that labor-saving machinery and
a host of the most ingenious inventions
have enormously increased the productive
power of labor and at the same time cor
rcspondingly decreased the cost of pro
duction, the ordinary laborer finds himself
bound to constant work, if he would keep
want from his door. A life thus spent
gives no opportunity for enjoyment.
Even education has to be neg ected, and
the pressing needs of an increasing fam
ily often force into mills and factories
young hands that should still be employed
among books, pencils and paper. All
these and many others effect of the sharp
competition between laborers for em;
ploy meat, have the effect of causing
discontent among the toilers. They seek
as a means of bettering their condition to
band together and rather than work for
certain wages to use the destructive
means known as the strike. This some
times brings temporary relief, but perma
nent relief it can never give. There must
be some other remedy. The employer has
rights also, amd among them is to employ
whom he pleases, lie can bid the strik
ers walk, and what are they goiug to do
about it'? Other men will be found to
tike their places, i bis would seem to
put the laborer's case as hopeless, and
under present arrangements it is little
else. The Divine intention never was to
have one class almost subject to another,
but it is about so at present. The so call
ed conflict between labor and capital, or
between laborer and employer, has de
monstrated the inability of labor to out do
capital in a contest between the two.
Whether political economists with their
various theories, can solve the pvoblem
and suggest a remedy that will perma
nently and satisfactorily adjust all differ
ences, is to be seriously doubted. The
thing that, above all others, will work an
improvement in the condition of the labor,
ing mau is, is a study of the law of wages,
and the part that 'he three factors of pro
duction- land, labor, aud capital—lake in
the creation of wcal'h, together with a
ce, intelligent use of the ballot.
GEM.HAL It. F. BUTLER'S FARM .MORT
GAGES' SPEECH.
If the astute General is not sensational
he is nothing. Not having yet convinced
the American people that Mr. Cleveland
was elected president over Mr. Illainc in
1884. by counting the Butler vote in New
York for the former, he now attempts to
show the utter bankruptcy of all western
American farmers by an array of mort
gage figures. According to the doughty
old Massachusetts statesman, farming is
the most ruinous business of the United
States. If lis assertion that the farm
lands of western Stabs are mortgagi ff.
an extent exceeding three billion dol.i.is
or nearly twenty-five per cent, more than
our National debt was at the close of the
war in 1805, we see no hope for the
thousands who are engaged in agricul
tural pursuits. They might as well shut
up shop at once, and turn their attention
to politics, or to somcthinc as remunera
tive as playing base ball.
But we hope our farmers will not lei
General Butler's g.oomy outlook scare
them into too lmsty a surrender of their
Jsrins, as it '.s one of the easiest things in
the worla tosoollect and collate statistics
as to prove almost any imaginary thing.
Statistic fiends have been abroad in the
world ever since the days of the flood •
we mean Noah's flood—and have demo,,
strated to their own satisfaction the plans
ibility. if not the truth, of the most
glaringly absurd theories that have evei
been inflicted,upon a pa'ient public. By
the General's own method of handling
arithmatic questions, it could be easily
shown that all our merchants, mechanics
and professional men, in towns, cities,
and country, east, north and south are
hopelessly and irretrievably overwhelmed
with debts, accounts and mortgages. We
apprehend that not many farmers will be
foolisli enough to give up their life long
pleasant and fairly renumeralivc voca.
tion, by the General's appalling "array of
imaginary figures.
THE COUNTRY AWAITS QUAY'S REFU
TATION.
Wlnlc there are circumstances at times
that justify a public man in not noticing all
tbe little malicious and slanderous things
said about him, yet no one, in a high or
low place, can afford to remain silent
when serious charges involving character
are made by a thoroughly responsible
party. Silence, therefoie, is cot always
golden. The charges made by the New
York World against Senator Matthew S.
Quay are not only serious, but are so spe
cific iu their statements and dates that a
failure on his part to notice them will nec
essarily lead tbe general public to believe
him to be guilty in form and manner as
indicted. No graver, no more benious
offenses have ever been charged to the
doings of any man holding a pualic office
ihan 'hose contained in the World's ar
raignment of this conspicuous Bepublican
boss.
It is a .mighty poor way of answering
the severe accusations for the accused to
wrap himself up in a political cloak and
say, I won't resign tbe Chairmanship of
the National Bepublican Committee under
fire; and, yet. some of tbe machine organs
refer to this declaration as a full and com
plete vindication ot this arch manipulator
of county, State and National elections.
Nor is tbe course pursued by his borne
organ, the Beaver Falls Tribune, any more
to the point or more consistent, by resort
iug to the method of all sclf-coiivieted
li irs, by saying "you arc another." In a
late issue, without attempting any auswer
or explanation in behalf of the dictator, it
tries the experiment of calling tbe Woi Id's
proprietors ugly names. Suppose Colonel
Cokerill, assistant editor, did kill his man,
or that Mr. Pulitzer, proprietor, when
quite young, acted in the capacity of a
hotel waiter, bow does all this relieve
Senator Quay from the terrible recusa
tions of one of tbe leading newspapers of
the country ? As is well said by a Repub
lican exchange, " Self-defense, and not
vituperation, is the present duty of the
Republican leader."
On tbe principle that what's sauce for
tbe goose is sauce for the gander, we mod
estly suggest that the Repnblicau papers
who aie sayiug that Mayor Giant, of New
Voi k, cannot "poob-pooli away with a
dignified silence" tbe story of McCann,
neither can Matthew Quay "pooh pooh
away" the World's serious accusations.
What a difference it makes as to who
owns the ox with these Republican papers
that have sworn eternal allegiance to the
Pennsylvania boss, whether lie is right or
wrong y
Geneuai. John C. Fremont has, by
special act of Congress, been placed upon
the retired list of the army, with the rank
and pay of Major General. This was his
rank when he was superseded at his own
request in 1862 by General Pope, not to
be again ordered to active duly. Fre
mont's military career was a disappoint,
ment even to his most ardent admirers.
Iu fact he is a man who failed in later
years to redeem tbe promise of a brilliant
youth, [lis work as " tbe Pathfinder "
or explorer of the great and then un
known west procured for him a double
brevet in the Topograplreul Engineers.
It is also largely due to him that Cali
fornia is now part of the United States
and not a Mexican or Britisli province.
The country, therefore, owes liirn a debt
that will not be overpaid by this late
honor. It cannot be worn long, for Gen
oral Fremont is now in his seventy-eighth
year.
SENATOR CHANDLER'S proposition that
the Senate adopt what is known as the
Heed Hulc in the Senate, which is, in
effect, that auy bill may be passed by a
minority of votes if the presiding officer
sees (or thinks lie sees) present a quorum
of the House—is hardly likely to find
favor in that body. It would never have
been approved in the lower House, hud
not the political exigency of a narrow
majority instigated those who had before
opposed the rule to adopt it as the short
est road to victory. The Senate, by the
seating of the Montana St nators, has a
Republican majority of ten, which could
not be disturbed for several years, though
the Democratic party carried every State
in successive elections. Thus firmly in
trenched, the Senators are not tempted to
establish a principle that might one day
be turned against themselves with dis
astrous results.

The duel between the Marquis de
Mores and M. Camillo Dreyfus, in Eu
rope, recalls the many famous exploits
and deeds of De Mores a few years ago
in our country. The marquis was cer
tainly a most wonderful man, and de
served better treatment from the com
munity in which he moved than he re
ceived.
He was a passenger aboard a Northern
Pacific train one day that was shooting
along from St. Paul, Minn,, toward the
setting sun. He was bound for the Bad
Lands, where he was about to put into
operation his gigantic, though unsuc
cessful, schemes of sheep raising and
beef slaughtering.
For some reason or other the country
was down on him. At every station we
stopped a report would be received that
at the Bad Lands station hundreds of
cowboys and other tough citizens were
waiting for the marquis, and that he
would be riddled with bullets the mo
ment he stepped from the train. The
train pulled into the depot at the Bad
Lands, and De Mores, with each hand
carelessly laid, but ready for quick use,
011 a pair of handsome silver mounted
repeaters, stepped out on the platform.
Bad men galore crowded around him,
hut when they saw the plucky nerve of
the young aristocrat they honored and
respected him for it, and not a single
arm in all that vast crowd was raised to
do him the least harm.
A DIME NOVEL CHAKACTEB.
The story of his life in this country is
quite interesting. He first landed at New
York in August, 1882. Before long he
became attracted by the stories of the
new country along the line of the North
ern Pacific railroad in Dakota and Mon
tana, and soon afterward he came out in
person to investigate for himself. With
a sombrero on his head, a red shirt 011 his
hack, corduroy trousers tucked into very
long legged boots, and with plenty of
silver mounted jewelry in his belt, he
pursued his investigation far and wide
on horseback, and finally decided to
found a city. He bought outright six
square miles of land 011 tho Little Mis
souri river, which was then considered
to be, by the wise men of the northwest,
about the very worst bit of earth on tire
whole North American continent. Hence
tho knowing ones shook their heads
gravely and predicted ruin.
He built a rude shack of logs and mud
which he furnished luxuriantly for his
wife, secured large tracts of government
land and bought numerous herds of cat
tle. At first the herders and roaming
cowboys of the Bad Lands looked upon
liiin to be an adventurous crank, who
would surely leave the country after lie
had secured a few hunting trophies to
carry back to Paris. They hated him be
cause lie had a servant and wore clean
clothes. He was a "monopolist," they
said, who was going to fence in the coun
try. They tried to scare him away, hut
they found he had been a soldier once
and would not scare. The cowboys said
he had come to drive them all off their
ranches. The hunters declared he was
going to buy up their buffalo grounds;
and, to own the truth, the young man
did really act as if he were going to buy
the earth.
Before many days lie won the respect
of his western neighbors in more ways
than one, hut still they took him to lie a
well plumed bird that ought to be pluck
ed and who could be easily swindled.
Their ire was raised to the highest pitch
when the Marquis gained control of
about 50,00(10 acres of land in Montana,
which took in the three principal trails
through which the cattle were driven to
the east, south and west.
A STAUTUNG ADVENTUHE.
The cow b >ys began to shoot the French
man's cattle wholesale and menaced his
herders when the latter were off duty.
Appeals to the sheriff proved useless; so
finding himself in a bad fix (lie Marquis
determined to take tiie matter into his
own hands and stop the matter himself.
He declared if he found a man killing
his animals he would shoot the rascals
like he would a steer. In six months he
was shot at by an unseen enemy no less
than eighteen times. His most bitter foes
were a man named Mitchell and an old
buffalo hunter called Luffrey.
One day while riding over the prairie,
accompanied by one of his most faithful
followers, a man named Paddock, a bul
let whistled by bis head, the smoke curl
ing from it little bunch of sage brush
about 2(10 yards in front. Without a
moment's hesitation the marquis dug his
spurs into his horse's flanks and dashed
head foremost directly toward the am
bush. The ringleader of the gang jumped
to his feet and leveled a Winchester at
the marquis; but the latter like a flash,
and while going at full speed, drew his
little silver mounted repeater, and the
would be assassin fell in his tracks, to
rise no more.
Another of the baud was badly wound
ed, and the rest quickly leaping to their
horses, sought safety in flight. The
Frenchman was very popular after tiiis
little incident, for his marksmanship in
stilled a great deal of respect into the
minds of the bloodthirsty herders, and
there was peace in the Bad Lands from
that time thenceforth. Nevertheless, he
had three trials before justices of tho
peace for tho so-called offense, and was
three times acquitted; yet he was again
indicted by a Dakota jury for murder,
and languished in the Bismarck jail
many days before lie finally gained his
freedom.

TILE Mule's Itoswry.
A few years ago, while my father and
I were in southern California, we made
a journey from Santa Barbara over to
the Santa Inex valley.
We had traveled several miles up the
stream, thinking of no danger, when the
Spaniard suddenly halted, and, pointing
with his linger, told me to "look!" Di
rectly hi the trail and about 200 yards
ahead was a monstrous grizzly seated on
the body of a mule which he had killed
and having his forelegs ready for instant
action. He appeared to us as big as an
elephant. We were both armed, but pru
dent. and did not care to attack a bearof
such proportions, so we turned around
and went down out of his way, returned
to the trail after a long detour, and con
tinued to the home of my friend, the
mine ov\ ner.
Here we related our experience and
learned that the unfortunate mule be
longed to a Spaniard who worked in the
mine. The owner of the property had
advised the Spaniard to put the mule in
the corral and not let him run loose and
become the victim of a grizzly, but the
man's foresight was not equal to his
hindsight and he decided to pursue his
own course. He fortified the mule by
tying around his neck a string of beads
with a crucifix attached, and felt certain
that these would protect him from bears
and other dangers. In order to allow
the charms full play, he hobbled the an
imal and then turned him out to graze.
The result we know.
While my friend and the Spaniard were
getting their guns and ammunition ready
I went up to the mine expecting to he
back in time to go with them and see the
battle with bruin. I followed them on
horseback, hut arrived on the scene too
late for the fray. When I neared the
place 1 saw them coming back with the
skin of the bear lying across their horse.
Tile light had been short, sharp and de
cisive, and the conquering party laid
found in the stomach of the bear a trophy
—a string of beads and a crucifix.—For

To Extinguish Fire on Shipboard.
A novel and most effective apparatus
for extinguishing lires in ships' holds
and for rapidly ventilating the holds in
emergencies has been brought out in
England. The scientific basis of the in
vention is the fact of carbonic oxide gas
being inimical to combustion. Fire is
extinguished in tho ship's hold by the
apparatus filling- it rapidly with fumes
extracted from tho boiler funnel, and
cooled and purified 011 their way to the
hold, vents being left for the expulsion
of fresh air contained in the hold. The
fumes are injected with such rapidity as
to produce an outflow through all vents
and crevices in the hold and thus pre
vent the ingress of fresh air, which would
otherwise occur.—New Orleans Pica
yune.

Ladies* Walking Clubs.
A letter in a London newspaper sug
gests the formation of a ladies' walking
association, by means of which ladies
who are fond of walking and unable tc
find friends of like tastes to join their
expeditions may be provided with con
genial companionship. The idea is a
good one, for there is no doubl that com
paratively few women appreciate the
great benefit of walking exercise or Lite
intense pleasure to be derived from it—
girls who will spend an entire day at

"Try Ayer's Pills"
For Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and Gout.
Stephen Lansing, of Yonkers, N. Y.,
says: "Recommended as a cure for
chronic Costiveucss, Ayer's Pills have
relieved me from that trouble and also
from Gout. If every victim of this dis
ease would heed only three words of
mine, I could banish Gout from the land.
Thcso words would be 'Try Ayer's
Pills.'"
"By tho use of Ayer's Pills alone, I
cured myself permanently of rheuma
tism which had troubled me several
months. Those Pills are at once harmless
and effectual, and, I believe, would
prove a specitic in ail cases of incipient
Rheumatism.
No medicine could have served me in
better stead." —C. 0. Rock, Corner,

Since taking Ayer's Pills, I have been

" I have derived great benefit from
