The eourts cannot do justice and make any discrimination. The re- marks addressed by Judge Ricks to the ongineers and firemen who had left their employment do not imply any obligations on the part of the corpor tions toward their employes, and it is this one-sided aspect of the case—though it should be said that the remarks of Judge Ricks were altogether admoni- tory—which has been the chief cause of eriticism of the court’s action. The right of employes to quit the s vices of their employer was not denied, but they must d> $5 at a time and place cumstances that would not involve damage to the employer or in- jury to the public.

His labor is his capital and he may dispose of it at his pleasure. He may not inter: fere with the labor of others, but his own right to stop work when he pleases is not questionable.

The republican platforms of 1800, 1801 and 182 pledge the party to specific legisla ion in the interest of the laborer and p oducer. The platform of 1800 contains the following plank in favor of railway regulation and the abolition of railroad pass bribery. We demand the reduction of freight and passenger rates on railroads to correspond with rates now states to the Mississippl, and we further demand that the legisiature shall abolish ail passes and free transportation on railroads excepting for employes of railroad panies The platform of 1890 also pledges the party to ennct laws for the regulation peo- com- of elevators und the prohibition of dis- | &h crimination against pers.
