There are others who sus- tain it ea the score that in the absence of any other means of meeting a grave diffi- culty, where both life and property may he destroyed, it has its justification. ‘The matter as now presented relates to the rights of men who are on strike, and to the rights of property-owners apprehen- sive of injury to their property from strikers. Strikers claim the right after throwing up work in the effort to secure better pay to use all means of persuasion to reeruit their ranks from the ranks of those still remaining at work. But this, they complain, is denied them. No sooner, as they assert, do they begin this petsuasion than their intentions are misjudged by their to drift. The strikers were angry, and meeting in large bodies while in that frame of mind would be certain, if unrestrainef, to provoke collisions with men still at work, and they might destroy property. It was considered advisable, therefore, to em- ploy the only safeguard at hand to prevent a serious and damaging outbreak. former employers, and an injunction is se- cured on the allegation that they are about to commit a trespass on private prop- erty. In this way their hands are tied, and they become helpless. They assert that, in fact, they are condemned-unheard, and that, too, merely upon the suspicion of an intention on their part to commit a wrong. The property-owners apply for the in- junction on the score that it is the only remedy available. They invoke it as that “ounce of prevention’ which is consid- ered so very valuable. They assert that strikers have no right to come upon their premises, or even use a contiguous public highway, for the purpose of injuring their business. They concede the right of men to strike, but they deny them the right to Operate openly and by organization for the stopping of industries with which they have voluntarily severed their conne=tion. Those coal-mine operators who during the strike just ended obtained injunctions de- clared that they were acting in the in- terests of peace; that it would be unsafe for all parties concerned to permit matters But whichever side may have the right of this matter the fact remains that the laws specifically do not reach the difficulty. Courts are left with rather wide latitude in the premises. Would it not be a wise thing for Congress at this coming session to take the matter up, and through the regular law committees at least investigate it? The question is one of very great interest, and sooner or later must be met. The courts should not be left to become subjects of controversy in times of turmoil about wages, or during political campaigns. If the law is lacking, or is defective, the law- making body should correct the evil. Con- gress will have plenty of time to look into the matter next winter, and the time to strike is while the iron is hot. —_+ +s ___ General Lee to Return. The announcement that General Lee, at the President's request, wili return to his post at Havana is in every way welcome, and, increover, signiitcant. The Star ex- pressed nope of such a result at the ume General Lee let Havana on leave, and pojuted out that until the Cuban question in its relation to the United States should take shape for final settlement he ought to continue to represent this government in that very important consular office. The President, at the close of a two hours’ in- terview Saturday, during which General Lee gave him an account of the whole situation up to date, expressed a wish that Genera! Lee go back, and General Lee prompily signified his willingness to do so. It is no violent assumption that a crisis 1s approaching in this Cuban matter. The present Spanish ministry is supported by only the feeblest props. General Weyler in Cuba stands thoroughly discredited. Im- Fatience in the highest Spanish circles is openly manifested at the paltry returns that have come in from such heavy ex- penditures. Spain's creditors are likewise restless and uneasy. Staking a losing game is always a disquieting business, and Spain has played from the outset in this fame with such uninterrupted failure that her backers have had more than the or- dinary excuse for scowls and distrust. They are very tired of the hard luck, and as there is no sign of it turning they show a disposition to refuse further advances on any securities that remain to Spain. Then the interests of this country are to be considered. Humanity, commerce, and the public health, all plead for firm but friendly interference on the part of the United States. General Weyler has made the island both a waste and a pest hole. Amcrican lives have been taken, American commerce destroyed, and opinion is rapidly ascribing the appearance of yellow fever in the south to the conditions in Cuba, where, for months, that disease has been rioting unchecked. Why should not the United States interfere, and, interfering, adopt a policy calculated to bring the war speedily to a close? In any crisis, whether produced by the collapse of Spain's policy, or by action of the United States, this government should be represented at Havana by a man who is not only familiar with the situation, but who command’ the full confidence and ad- miration of the country. And General Lee most completely fills that bill. oe The date for the opening of the local public schools was unusually well chosen this year, though as a matter of fact it is more or less determined by the calendar. Had the schools opened a fortnight earlier, however, much suffering would have re- sulted amorg the children on account of the interse heat that prevailed then. ‘The cool spell tat has since broken the intol- erable temperatures is probably the fore- runner of autumn, and it is not at all likely that there will be any more very hot weather this year. ————»>2e—_____ The relief from the hot wave is welcome, despite its reminder that the coal consumer will presently be called upon to reimburse the mine operators for some expensive sum- mer experiences. —— + +e ____ The Georgia gentlemen who are consider- irg the advisability of fighting a duel, should look back on the absurdity of the recent affair in France and calm them- selves, ——_++>___ General Weyler is prepared to contend that the reports of his victories are quite as reliable as the reports of his recall to Spain. ——_++2e____ Hogansville is not interested in the color of the two-cent stamp nearly so much as in the color of the postmaster. —~>+>—___ A Hot Finish. The professional base ball season is about to close and the circumstances are so un- usual, both from a national and a local standpoint, as to warrant a high degree of excitement among the many thousands of Americans who take an interest in this sport. The race between the leaders for the pennant is practicaiiy without parallel for uncertainty. [he margin between Balti- more and Boston is so small that one game lost by either team may throw the scale for victory or defeat. At the same time New York might become a dangerous factor in the race by a sudden burst of speed while the others leaders lose games, though this event is far from probable. In 1891 Boston won the championship with a margin of 23 points over Chicago. The same club’ won in 1892 and again in 1893, in the former case with 56 points to spare over Cleveland and in the latter with 34 over Pittsburg. In 1894 the Baltimore team began its remarkable series of vic- tories. In 1892 this club finished last in the race. In 180% it took the championship from New York with 28 points to spare. In 1895 it did the same, defeating Cleve- land by 23 points and in 1896 leading the same club by 74 points. The margin today between Baltimore and Boston is but 10 points and the conditions are- such that this difference between first and second teams will not be much increased, if any, at the wind-up, no matter which wins. Washington’s interest in the race comes from the fact that its representative team stands higher today than it was ever known before to stand at the finish of a season. If the local hopes are fulfilled the “Senators” will take the sixth place for the season, a higher rank than has been known within the memory of the present generation of base ball “rooters.” This will be a great improvement over last sea- son's achievement, which merely gave Washington the right to contest ninth place with Brooklyn, with which team the locals were tied. Whoever may win the pennant or may stand second or third, the attention of the capital is now fixed upon the outcome of the nip-and-tuck race for the honor of closing the ranks of the ‘first division,” for which there are several lively competitors. The dilatory manner in which some flagrant crimes have been handled by the authorities in this country may have caused Spain, after drawing comparisons with the swift retribution which followed the assassi- nation of Canovas, to conclude that the American public is the easy-going possessor of an unlimited store of patience. ——-_ + +e ___ By buying his horses in this country, the mikado proves that he is too level-headed to permit the Hawaiian branch of his busi- ness to interfere with other commercial enterprises in which the United States of- fers advantages. —— oe. SHOOTING STARS. Net a Relinble Rule. “A man always. dislikes to confess that he is wrong,” remarked Mr. Ohlsaw. “He dces, does he?” replied the base ball enthusiast. “What you want to do is to skut up your dictionary and listen to tke patriotic exuberance of the people who were predicting that the Washington club would finish a tail-ender.” ‘ An Excusable Jealousy. “It fills me with envy,” remarked the man who wants 4n appointment, “to see that school boy trudging to his studies.” You long for the pastimes of youth?” “No. I don’t care for them. But Id like to be able to pass a civil service examina- tion as well as he could.” Mr. Dingley Defied. She's here from Europe witn a iot Of ditties queer and costumes smart. "m safe,” she cries. “Your bill cannot Exclude my songs as works of art.” Courting Disaster. “T hear that the Princess Chimay is to become an inmate »f the sultan’s harem,’” said one Armenian “Yeu with a malicious chuckle; “that's what he gets ¢or refusing to allow newspapers to come into the pai- ace.” A Startled Imagination. “I don’t gc out much after dark on my wheel,” said the rather timid citizen. “Why not?” “I'm afraid of these scorchers.” “But there are police especially employed to look after them.” “I know it. They are the chief causes of my uneasiness. Supposing a scorcher starts up the street, pedaling for dear life and turning sharp corners witii the frenzy of his kind. And supposing a policeman starts after him, striking the same pace as nearly as possible. Then another police- man mistakes him for a scorcier and does his best to keep up, and so on until you have the entire force out. It’s bad enough to think of dodging a single scorcher, al- though it might be managed, but when it comes to a whole procession of them, I feel like staying quictly at home.” A Difficult Lament. “The melancholy days have come,” Ye poets, drop a tear. Once more your lutes in minor strum And sing of autumn ¢rear. But as the leaves forsake the irees In sadness so intense, We hail with sweet relief the breeze That comes to blow them hence. O’er places that are “ ’Tis proper to lament. Yet, to efface the gloomy frown A sense of sweet content Steals through us. No hot wave annoys, Mosquitoes hush their lays— In fact, there's nothing one enjoys “Like melancholy days. a The € Service Law in Court. From the Chicago Times-Herald. There is nothing in the decisioa of Judge Cox that in any way invalidates the civil service law. Judge Cox held that the rules invoked by the complainant were not au- thorized by the civil service law, or by any act of Congress, and consequently. they eculd not be enforced in a court. ; The President has power, the judze says, to make such rules for the government o: his cabinet officers and subordinates, but if they disobey them it is not for the ccurts but solely for the President himself to enforce them. They are not law, and no ofceholder can claim any rights under them, except before the Président. But there need be no jubi the spoilsmen. The rules stand for the government of all heads of departments, and they are answerable to the President for any disobedience of them, though the courts cannot enforce them as they would erforce the actual provislons of the civil service law. The case :losely resembles in its facts the case ef Carr aaginst Gordon, which has just been submitted to Judge Jenkins, and his decision will now be looked forward to with much interest. Judges do not always agree in their con- ns of law. : But whatever his judgment may be, the cases will finally reach the Supreme Cour where an authoritative decision will be re: dered on the scope of the civil service law. — The Papers Didn't Do It An. From the Sap Francisco Chronicle. There is a free-and-easy assumption that mecdern journalism, so called, is responsible for the rush to the Klondike. Those who make this curious blunder seem to be quice unaware of the fact that there was a rush to the gold flelds of California nearly fifty years ago, by the side of which that te Alaska sinks iato insignificance. Nor,must it be forgotten that in 1849 and 1850 Cali- fcrnia was as much an unknown land as Alaska is today, and that every argonaut of those days understood that he was going ferth to encounter great dangers. The new journalism had not yet made Its ap- pearance, but the stampede occurred all the same, just as it would. have done in 1897 if the newspapers had been content to print short items detailing the facts. ‘e and brown” jon among ——————~2s—____ “Plack Me” Stores Megal. From the Newark, N. J., Advertiser. The store-order system prevails in the mining section in Pennsylvania where striking miners were shot down by dep- uties last Friday. This is the principal grievance of the miners. There is sup- pesed to be a law in Pennsylvania against this form of industrial slavery, as (there is in New Jersey, but in both states, and especially in Pennsylvania, the law is dis- regarded. “Pluck me” stores abound in the coal regions, and thousands of sel ae people there are virtually the vassals 0! their corporate employers. Lower Car Fares, From the Spokane, Wash., Chronicle, it is becoming more apparent each year that five-cent street car fares must give way, and this conviction is dawning alike upon the people and the more shrewd aad enterprising managers of street raflway companies. The latter realize that it is more profitable to carry fifty people at three cents each than fifteen or twenty passergers at five cents each, and they are learning that high fares curtail traffic and low rates develop it. ——r+o—____ A Philanthropic Farmer.
