back the men who hu\e done so much against their interests, they are only inviting disloyalty and futuie trouble. The sooner the railroad managers sympathize with Debt and order his men out the lietter for them and the country at large. The A. R. U. is doomed. Good foreigners are welcome in the United Slates, and some of our best citizens have come into this country from Europe. But there Is a class of anarchists, whose names are so unpronouncable that a sneeze is necessary at the end of the same, who come to this country particularly to raise trouble. They are sent here by the powers of Europe as a good riddance. These are the parties who, not seeing a squad of soldiers on every street corner, think they can do as they please, and they never fail to bob up in a strike.

are now keeping otf the grass. The strike has demonstrated again its utter inability to settle matters between capital and labor. The cheerful whistle of freight engines is again heard in the land and Deb’s strike is over.

The newspapers boycotted by Debs are running up handsomely increased subscription lists. It seems like “the other fellow” than the one mentioned in Mr. Stead's book has “came'to Chicago.” Lawlessness is rampant in Terre Haute, and that city, it might iueidentally be said, is the home of Debs. Those who have watched the career of Rev. Myron W. Reed lately are not surprised at his turning anarchist.

Some of the English papers that have been writing obituaries of this great and glorious republic are now out of a job. The next time Chicago wants to annex Hammond let 'em annex. Hammond is near enough to Chicago to he real bad, and if Chicago wants it we are in favor of letting it go. In calling upon laboring iiifn to strike their leaders seem to have forgotten that many of the laborers have already been struck— right between the eyes by democratic times.

i he strike that needs to be instituted now is one against anarchists. Every lawless striker is an anarchist while at his infernal work of destruction. The law can not strike such too quick nor too hard. From all accounts the village of Fontanel deserves the services of a galling gun squad for a few hours until the lawless and murderous element is wiped out of existence. Nothing but heroic measures will do any good. Deh-) says his strike is still “on.” Yes, it is with a vengeance. The railroad managers are taking a hail' 1 , at the business now and are discharging men right and left who haye participated in Debs' strike. And it is not to be wondered at. If the railroads take

After two weeks of wait the Democrat announces in a platform, not the Chicago one, it lias no word of defense for the men who burned cars or destroyed property. We are glad to see our contemporary make this confession. It was ttenerally supposed, by its silence, it intended to go bodily with the Indianapolis Sentinel. The difference between the two Eugenes at Chicago—Debs and Urendergaat—is that the latter has met Ills finale. While the former’s punishment will not be so severe as the latter’s still to his foolish calling out of strikers may be indirect!}' attributed what loss of life has occurred.

Italy is considering a plan to try anarchists by special tribunals; Spain proposes to transport them to African colonies, and Germany, France and England are perfecting measures to stamp r >ut this form of moral and political leprosy. The United States should act.

Washinoton. Julv If), 1894 The alleged conference of committees from the house and senate on the taritf bill, which is actually only a conference between eight democrats and various trusts which demand protection of their interests in payment for past anil future contributions to the democratic corruption fund, is still going on, and from what lias leaked out there has been some very lively word battles in the committee room in which the meetings are held. Little Mr. Wilson, who by order of Mr. Cleveland was put at the head of the house ways and means committee, got so worked upat one of these meetings at the various demands made on behalf of the trusts by the senators that lie left the room in a hull' and swore lie would have nothing more to do with it. However, after a consultation with Boss Cleveland he thought better of it and is again a regular attendant of the meetings, and before the thing is elosed will probably vote as meekly for what the trusts want as any of Ids colleagues. Xn indications of wlien the legal conference, which will be attended as by law provided ny the entire committees appointed by the vice president and speaker of the house respectively, will begin, has been given to the six republicans who are members of those committees. Senator Hale’s resolution calling attention to the irregular anil illegal status of the meetings now being held may be heard from again in a way that will be both unexpected and unpleasant to the democrats and the trusts. When conference committees were Inlaw provided for in cases of disagreement between the house ajid senate on pending legislation it was not with the intention that the members of the majority party should devote days and weeks to bargaining and dickering with each other in order to arrive at a cut and dried agreement which should then be sprung on the minority and solidly supported by the majority. On the contrary, it was intended that the conference should lie all that the term implies—a full and free discussion of the points of difterence between the house and senate, by all of the representatives of the house and senate, and not by representatives of only the political parties that happen to la' in control of those bodies, and never until now lias that intention been deliberately violated, although there have been hundreds of conferences held. Senator Voorhees admitted that a mistake was made by not inviting the republicans to be present at the lirst meeting held, but so far as known be lias taken no step to correct that mistake. Strictly speaking tiio.se eight democrats have no legal right to tinker with that tariff bill in the forced absence of the six republican members of the conference committee, ami their attempting to do so may make trouble for them and their party. This tariff business is a long way from being settled. Some of the democrats have suddenly discovered that Utah will probably go republican and so greatly are they exercised over it that they are actually trying to get Mr. (Cleveland to veto the bill for the admission of that territory to the Union. Mr. Cleveland did not want the Utah bill passed at this session of congress, but from the best obtainable information it is not probable that he will veto the bill now that it has passed, as it would be difficult to find a good reason for so doing. The commission which Mr. Cleveland has agreed to appoint under the act of 1888, to investigate the railway strike, is not likely to secure any valuable information, inasmuch as it will have no authority to get at the bottom of the trouble by investigating the causes of the strike against the 1‘ullinan company, which was responsible for all the rest, it can only deal with interstate rnilways and their employes. It is difficult to understand how the labor organization got tlie idea that this eommiosioti would have authority to arbitrate. One section of the law under which Mr. Cleveland will appoint the two additional commissioners to serve with the U. S. commissioner of labor in making this investigation does authorize arbitration by such a commission, but only after application has been made by both parties to the contrsversy for arbitration. Just to show the country that it can do business rapidly when so minded, the senate in one week passed no less than nine of the regular appropriation bills, and the program for the present week includes the passing of the other live. With all of the appropriation bills out of the way only the tariff bill w ill stand 111 the way of adjournment. There is a feeling of relief in congress and administration circles at the failure of the strike, which by reason of the non-action of the half anarchist governor of Illinois, at one time tliru.itened to become a very serious matter. The attorney general lias asked for an appropriation of $2'»5,000 to pay the ex-

tra expenses incurred by reason of (lie strike by the department of justice. The war department estimates have not ls>en made up. Senator Allen, of Nebraska, is the late»t victim of the personal explanation. He told the senate Saturday that it was not true as published a few days previously that he bad made a monkey of himself w hile in a glorious state of intoxication. The least said about the 1 matter the lietter. THE EARLY-CLOSING MOVEMENT.! Whit 1 the Clerks Najr—Business Men Tnlk —They Like the Finn. A smiling wife eat in the doorwav of her husband's grocery one | evening and said: “The Banner | Times is to be congratulated for , assisting the clerks in their early- , closing movement. 1 like the plan I immensely. Formerly my husband would go to work at six o’clock in the morning and stay until ten at night. This wasn't because he wanted to stay away, but because others did the same thing, thus forcing him. The new plan gives me two hours more time daily with my husband, and both are highly pleased and better off for it * * “Say, Mr. Banner Times,” said a disconsolate clerk as he gazed through his store window Friday night, “please give my boss a gentle roast. He treats us all right, but hasn’t as }et seen his way clear to closing his store like other merchants in different lines at eight o’clock four night in the week. I believe he would close if you would mention it to him.” The Banner Times does not care to single out any one, hut we believe all should give their clerks shorter hour#, es pecially in the summer time, where they work more than ten hours per day. • * * “Hee hee, ho ho, hi hi,” chuckled a saloonkeeper one night when asked if it was true that the saloons had agreed to join the early closing movement, inasmuch as they open at 4:30 a. m. and close at eleven p m., this working their force about sixteen hours a day. “No, we won’t close. It’s tin ill wind that blows nobody good, and this thing of the drug stores closing at eight will assist us in the long rru.” The saloonist winked, but refused to explain himself, so the reporter was left in doubt. * * * “What do you do in the extra hour you get in the early-closing,” said the reporter to a bright drug clerk. “I read good books and only regret that I haven’t more of such time. My employer will not suffer by the change in the least, I am confident.” *** “We have been trying to close early for years.” said a druggist, “but could never get together before. Some wanted one tiling, others another, until we could not agree. We are all satisfied now that the plan is a good one, and will hold to it.” « * * The bookdealers, furniture and hardware men are still out of the fold, and the clerks disconsately watch the luckier clerks as they close doors at.eight and enjoy the cool evenings. As one said to the reporter, “we are not in it.” * * * “Oh, yes! oh, yes!” this store closes in live minutes,” sang out a
