FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1894
THE greatest enemy that labor has to-day in this country is Debs.
PRENDKGRAST, the assassin of Mayor Carter II. Harrison, has been declared "not insane'" by a Chicago jury, and under sentence of the court must be hanged on Friday, July 13.
SUPPOSE the American Railway Union will bankrupt Pullman, as its leaders say they will, what particular benefit will the idle employes of Pullman derive from it. Will that proceeding insure their wages or put bread into the mouths of their wives and children?
BEFORE the tariff bill passed the Senate barbed wire was placed back on dutiable list. A good deal of fine writing portraying the beauties of free barbed wire by free trade editors has been wasted on the desert air. No "wonder they desire to "wait and see" before committing themselves.
CONGRESS has just made its first national holiday and the President has signed the bill. Labor Day falls on the first Monday in September according to act of Congress. Most of the States had already made Labor Day a legal holiday, though the date is not entirely uniform.
SENATOR BRICE, the Democratic Senator from Ohio and New York, is resting under the accusation of having bought and sold in a single day 13,000 shares of sugar stock, and it is further alleged that his earnings in sugar speculations alone are 82,000,000. That investigating committee, however, was very careful not to bring these facts out. It was not organized for that purpose.
IN the death of William A. Vanarsdall the city loses one of its oldest and best citizens. Here he grew to manhood and from manhood to past middle age. For many years -he has been an active member of the City Council and ever evinced a pardonable pride in the city's development and growth. While he was progressive he was at the same time conservative, and liis good judgment in matters of public interest made him at all times a wise counselor and guide.
A CALIFORNIA Democratic editor who has been hit hard along with the rest of the country, thus rytlimically voices his woe. "Sing a song of nickels, pocket full of trash over head and ears in debt, out of ready cash. Heaps of flying collectors, busy as can be, ain't we had a busy time in 1893? Grover in the White House playing with the kids, Carlisle in the treasury cancelling silver bids, Congress trying all they can to make us still more poor, ain't we got a bright outlook for 1894.
THE Indianapolis A'CIVS hasopenedtip a subscription for a testimonial to be presented in the name of the State to the battle ship, "Indiana," its splendid namesake. The idea of the Ncivs is that the testimonial shall be a solid silver table set which will cost §7,000 or S8,000. The great State of Indiana should have pride enough to do as well as other cities and States which have been honored in the christening of the great war vessels and the laudable undertaking of the News should meet with a prompt response. Already §825 has been subscribed. Among the liberal subscriptions it is to be noted that Gen. Lew Wallace has given §50. Governor Matthews has given §100. If any of our patriotic ^citizens desire to add to these honorable subscriptions THE JOURNAI, will gladly receive them and forward them to the News.
THE New York Sun, a Democratic paper, thus defines Democracy as she is spoke at Washington:
Old platforms removed in a skillful manner, estimates of culmination furnished. On public views, the finest collection of atrocities ever exhibited. Photogravure copies of the* beautiful painting, "The Sugar House and the White House," given to every paying visitor. Don't fail to take in the new McPherson Automatic Telegam Sender, the greatest wonder of the age. Also the Voorhees Talking Hat. Protection guaranteed or money refunded. Pledges broken while you wait. Highest prices given for cast-off promises. Come early and see the Populist Wolf Show. No extra charge. Woolly Horse and Wild Ass Amusement Company (Limited), Washington, D. C.
P- S.—All obligations of this company will be promptly paid upon presentation on June 32, 170'J.
The AnjUH-Ncws perhaps will read the Hun out of the Democratic party as it is not "in touch" with the majority in Congress.
THE GREAT PCLLjrAN BOYCOTT. The consensus of public opinion is that the strike of the railroad men now on is ill-advised, irrational and senseless, as well as an abominable outrage. The cause is placed at Pullman and grew out of a difference between the Pullman Car Company and its employes. The employing company claims that bj' reason of the depression in business a reduction in wages became necessary—either that or the closing works altogether. The company asserted that because of the falling oiT in business it could not continue work even at the proposed reduction in wages except at a loss, but rather than close its shops and discharge its men it preferred to continue. In its statement it said that on one class of cars it was losing §12 on each car and on another $79. This was not accepted by the men, and they struck. Out of this small beginning has grown the present disturbance which affects the greater part of the country, involving railroads and connecting interests that had nothing to do with the trouble at Pullman, and are in no way responsible for it. An organization known as the American Railway Union espoused the cause of the Pullman strikers. "This organization," as the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette points out, "is not known to the law. It is a voluntary association, and as such is wholly irresponsible. It can not -sue or be sued, and its members ccan be brought into court only as individual criminals. They may conspire to destroy property and may interfere with the rights of individuals, and j'et they cannot be proceeded against except as individuals nor can they be held liable for damages, if for no other reason than that they ire financially irresponsible. Yet their power, temporarily at least, so far as regards immediate effects, exceeds that of railroad corporations. There is no railroad corporation or combination in the United States that could accomplish the amount of mischief that the American Railway Union has accomplished within the last few days. No such corporation or combination of corporations could issue an order paralyzing all industries connected with railroad traffic. If such an attempt should be made courts would immediately interpose, railway charters would be forfeited and the railway managers would be imprisoned. Herein lies the difference between incorporated companies amendable to law, as such, and irresponsible associations, amendable, as such, to no law." It would seem that there should be equality before the law. Labor organizations should be amendable to law as money corporations are. Anything short of this will lead to revolution and anarchy. The American Railway Union assumed a grave responsibility when it ordered the boycott. It has passed the limit of justifiable effort to win its cause.
NOTWITHSTANDING the Senate has passed its tariff bill the end of the struggle is not in sight, It is an entirely different bill from that which passed the House. The four hundred amendments which the Senate made to the Wilson bill changed its features entirely. That it will be unacceptable to the House goes without saying. It is safe to say that the House will not recede from the bill it passed, or if it does it must be to agree to a measure that will retain the essential features of the Wilson bill. Such a bill cannot pass the Senate. Senator Gorman is authority for the statement that the Wilson bill or anything like it will be unacceptable to the Senate and cannot pass the body. The two bills will now go to a conference committee where it will remain for some time, and after that it will be fought out in the House and Senate. The end is not in sight.
THOMAS T. MOORE, of Greencastlc, who made the race for Joint Representative for the counties of Clay. Putnam and Montgomery two years ago will be a candidate again this year before the Republican convention for nomination to the same position on the ticket. His friends claim for him that as he made the race two years ago when the chances were hopeless, and as there is a reasonable show of success this year he is justly entitled to a renomination. Thisoclairn it not without force, as Mr. Moore is an indefatigable worker, a good speaker and will make a first class canvass. The claims of Mr. Moore and his friends are certainly entitled to consideration by the joint convention when it meets.
PENSION COMMISSIONER LOCHREN has recently given out the statement that this Administration will "save" §25,000,000 at least this year on pensions, and that it will "save" a still larger sum next year. In the matter of Mexican War pensions, nearly all of which go to ex-Confederates, the Pension Commissioner announces an increase in the expenditures of §1,300,000. What better proof could one want of the hypocritical cant-on retrenchment in pension expenditure?
'I HE indications are that the backbone of Debsism has been broken. The misguided men are beginning to see the great error they committed.

Rest at Last.
fin memory of Thomas Sanford Patton.]
In a silent tomb now sleeping, Pillowed is our dear one's head, Though we know he is in God's keeping,
Now he Is numbered with the dead.
No more on earth we'll see his lace, Or kiss his dimpled cheeks, For he dwells among the angels,
In the far off azured deep.
Dear brother you have loft us and departed This life so full of care and woe. We dream of you but wake broken hearted.
Although in heaven you are we know.
A life of truth and honesty he led, While marching down life's noblo river, Butoold In the grave his body finds its bod.
While his soul reclines In the bosom of its giver.
Dear Tommy we watched you while dying, With eyes Ailed with sad and mournful tears, While you lor your dear wife was sighing.
And passing through death's shadow fears.
Oh life 1 what shall we make of you As o'er your river our course wo run? When hopes are fading as fades the morning's dew
Before the summer's golden sun.
Oh death! thou art awonderful creature,* Mounted ou wings of moisslble gold. Over the world thou goest as a teacher, '•lo convert the rich and poor, the young and old.
Oh my dear and only brother, Sad for you we will now be, For In this world we will never meet another:
Half so kind or true as thee.
But we must think of the lone mother, By the cross of Calvary, How her heart was pierced with anguish,
As she stood beside the tree.
And we must look up with sad hearts weeping, In our loneliness and pain. For in the kingdom of the blessed.
Wo shall meet our own again.
And, O God of love look down from above. Upon this world so full of pride and sin* Teach thy people they name to love,
And how the prize of life to win,
But O dear Lord thy will be done. Thy name forever blest. 'Twas Tliou who gave—'twas Thine to take.
In providence wo rest.
