Twelve years ago a labor strike took place in Omaha that eulminated in u so-called riot and the ealling out of militia and regulars. There was really nothing to justify the call- Ing out of troops and the working men were Justly at Mayor Boyd for making a requisition upon the governor for the militfa and naving Omaha put under martial law. In the midst of the excitement a boy- cott was and against Boyd's opera house. Al working men were warned and urged not to patronizs the Boyd under any circumstances, The lubor leaders of those days confidently predicted that this boyeott would do up the opera house owner within less than a year.

It utterly impossible to with the use of Pullman sleeping cars by a boycott directly indirectiy. The work- ingmen as a class patronize the Pullman sleepers very little and the commercial travelers, tourists, merchants and their families will never subject themselves to the discomfort of the ordinary passcnger coach by any threat from the Knights of Labor or other labor organization: Mr. Sovereign has evidently jumped at conclu- sions In this as he has on many othor subjects. To carry out his boycott against patrons of the Pullman cars he would have to employ an army of spotters and most of the people spotted would not care a straw whether they were spotted or not. The tourist who travels for pleasure cortainly would be indifferent and the drummer who wants to save hotel bills and time by traveling in the night could not be punished individually, neither could the jobbing house he repre- sents be held responsible for the refusal of their travelers to sit up all night just to avoid Mr. Sovereign's displeasure. Above all things the boycott could not deter women, children and invalids, who avail themselves of the Pullman sleepers as a matter of safety and convenience. Now the boycott Is a species of retaliatory warfare waged In the interest of the work- ing man. If it proves a failure it becomes a serlous drawback to the cause of labor. Bearing this fact in mind labor leaders should never resort to the boycott unless there is a reasonable assurance of its effec- tiveness. The Pullman boycott, advocated by Mr. Sovereign, is bound to be a fatlure, and he has made a blunder in committing the knights to such a course. Bverybody conversant with the policy of The Bee knows that it never has been an apologist for the Marquis Pullman. On the contrary, it been outspoken in its disapproval his arrogant and autocratic ways and especially his declaration during the strike that there nothing to arbitrate. While we regard the sleeping cars as a component part of every first class passenger train, we do not beiieve it necessary or beneficial to the public that the slecping car service should be in the hands of a private monopoly. The way to break up Pullman’s monopoly s not by the boycott, but by state and national legislation that will require every railroad to equip its passenger trains with its own sleeping cars and will prohibit these rail- roads from subletting the slecper car serv- ice to any private company or individual. When such laws are once in force the Pull- man monopoly will have to subside, gyrations Teast the proclan become as much a nec an corrupt nagers. ley and his is dispense or has of was RETURNED WITHOUT INSTRUCTIONS. The senate has refused to recede from its position on the tariff. It has rejected by overwhelming majorities motions to put coal and iron ore on the free list, but two demo- crats voting in of making these ar- ticles free. It has rejected the proposal to recedo from the one-cighth of a cent dif- ferential on refined sugar and has roturned the tariff bill without instruc- tions. On July 19 the house of representa- tives adopted a resolution insisting upon its disagreement to the senate amendments in gross, after having listened to the letter of Mr. Cleveland In advocacy of free raw terials speech of Mr. Wilson en- dorsing that position. Thus the tariff bill goes back to the conference committee with the two houses standing just where they did when the disagreement was reported to them, that s, each Insisting upon its own measure and each manifesting a deter- mined purpose to adhere to this position, The country is familiar with what transpired the conference committee decided to report a disagreement It has been a period of sensational incidents for the democratic party. In a way entirely unprecedented the president chosen by that party ssumed to advise one branch of congress regaraing revenur leglslation, and in doing senators as having proposed a policy that inyolyed party perfidy and party dishonor. In reply to this imputation democratic senators have made the counter charge that the president had been guilty of duplicity in leading them to believe that he was in sympathy with thelr course in revising the tarift bill. No similar situation has ever before happened in the relations between the execu- tive and the congress, and the Imporiant question s whether one of the parties to the conflict—the president and the house of representatives on the one hand and the senate on the other—will surrender, or tariff legislation by this congress fail From the positive attitude assumed by each house it would seem that it will be next to impossible for them to reach an agree- ment. Mr. Wilson declared with earnest emphasia In the house thab |t would be better for tarif legis- lation to fall than that the representa- tives of the people should accept the bill passed by the senate, and this was en- dorsed by the democrats of the house with- out division. No less earnestly Mr. man declared In the senate that that body could not accept the Wilson bill, and the favor to conference ma- and the has since has so arraigned democratic house actlon of the senate has approved the view of the leader of the conservative senators.

Moreover, many of the demo- crats In the house are becoming exceedingly anxlous get among their constituents and this is counted on to Induce them to feld. It is dificult to this view, because it contemplates the complete stulti- of the house leaders, which would for some of them, undoubtedly, po- litieal destruction.

ALES OUT OF SCHOOL. has been the week's debate To be more commenced TELLING Telling tales out of school characteristic feature of the in the senate at Washington. accurate, the proceedings were last week when the president unburdened his mind to Chairman Wilson and made public his story of the methods by which certaln of the democratic senators had in- volved and their associates in party perfidy and party dishonor. As was quite natural, the accused senators rushed to their own defense, and what fol- lowed was a series of confessions that ave the people their first clear view of the making of the pending tariff bill. Sen- ator Gorman's story was so extraordinary that he deemed it advisable, if not neces- sary, to call upon the others of the finance committee to stand up, one by one, and corroborate his statements. Each arose and related his relations with the president during the time that the tariff bill was being framed, stories that had been cir- culating as rumors, but which for the first time found authoritative confirmation. These tales were not originally intended for the public ear or they would not have been so long delayed. Neither was the admission made by Senator Caffery in his speech, in which he told of his efforts to trade for adequate protection to the Louis- iana sugar planters and how he failed to what he wanted because of some stronger influence, presumably the Sugar trust, which controlled the members of the senate finance committee. It is also clear that the whole has not yet been told, and it some of the senators wiil only continue in their penitent mood several additional interesting chapters may yet be added to the narration. These tales have had but little influence upon the progress of tariff legislation, but they have served to give the public an in- sight into the methods and operations of the democratio leaders that cannot fail to instructive. They have shown the hollowness of the decision not to grant learings to representatives of the Interests affected by the protective tariff when those most deeply concerned not only had access in private to the various members of the committee, but also had the services of certain senators as active lobbylsts in their cause. They have proved that the presi- dent's devotion to “the great principles of tariff reform™ is conditioned on the recogni- tion of the demands of particular persons and corporations who have secured political claims upon his party. They expose the pretended disinterested patriotism which the democrats assumed to bring to the task of enacting a new revenue measure. a different direction still, such disclos must tend to make men in public life more cautious about entering Into deals that will not run the gauntlet of public opinion. There is no telling what occasion may arise to drive one or more of them to make a clean breast of the matter, to the discom- fiture and detriment of the others. If this should result episode will not be without its good side politically, in addi- tion to the light which it has shed upon the tariff bill manipulations. CHINA AND JAPAN AT W2 Although there has been no formal declara- tlon of war between China and Japan, and negotiations looking to the settlement of the controversy between them are still in progress, the dispatches state that both gov- ernments recognize the fact that war actu- ally exists. Thls view of the situation would to be entirely warranted by events. There has been fighting in Corea, a trans- port with Chinese soldiers has been sunk by a Japancse cruiser, and warlike prepara- tions are being vigoromsly carried forward by both nations. Under such circumstances it does mot seem that a declaration of war is to make the existence of hostilities any more certain or actual than it is, and it may well be doubted whether, after what has taken place, the efforts of the European bring about a settlement of the difficulty will be of any avall untll Japan and China have had a pretty thorough trial of arbitration by the sword. The fact Is that neither government has shown any earnest disposition to have the matter settled in uny other way. prowess in war and probably each Is appre- hensive that any other method of settlement would not be satisfactory. Besides there is a long-standing hatred between the two countries, growing out of the aggressive pol- icy of China In Corea, which has a strong influence In determining the course of each. As to the merits of the controversy, a good deal can be said on both sides. In the po- litical affairs of Corea, China has long held a dominating influence; in fact, has exer- cised a power and authority practically su- preme. Through all the chunges in the pol- fcy of other nations in dealing with Corea, China has never falled to Insist upon the vassal condition of a nation which for cen- turies has sent tribute to Peking. Commer- clally the interests of Japan In the Corean peninsula are much the greater, being more extensive than those of any other country, and there are more Japanese sojourning in Corea than there ure representatives of any other forelgn nationality.

M Thiers, who was elected by the national assembly, had the right of appearing at the tribune of the assembly. He did not fail to use this right, and on important oc caslons was present to defend in person the acts of his government. In 1873 the constitution was changed, so to reliey the president of personal responsibility, and also to prohibit him from appearing in the louse. It was also provided that the pres dent should In future communicate with the chambers by message.

The prediction of the tories and the defenders of the state church in England in 1568 is coming true, that if the Irish church were disestablished it would be only a matter of time when the Welsh Scotch and English churches would follow Only twenty-five years since the h church was disestablished, and the home sccretary, Mr. Asquith, introduces the bill for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Bpiscopal church of Wales. The biil provides that the church shall cease to be a political institution after 1896, and the revenues, public and private, shall be appropriated to educational and charitable purposes. It will probably take much time to bring the emancipation of the church in Scotland and England. There Is no doubt but that the English church will die hard, for it is immensely rich and serves to furnish a large number of sinecures for the incompetent sons of the nobility. But the most that can be done is to slightly postpone the date. As a state supported, politieal and really tory organization, the days of the English church are numbered. Then religious freedom in England will have been accomplished. last the turn of e The referendum has proved to be so great a success in Switzerland as many sup- posed. Originally it was proposed to make the referendum obligatory In regard to every act of legislation. But it was argued that it was not necessary to the system that it should apply to many measures of minor importance. Accordingly, the referendum provides that no measure of federal scope shall be submitted to the people at the bal- lot box unless 20,000 voters shall require its submission. When the legislature has passed a law the people have three months time for its decision by referendum. In practical operation most bills become laws without a submission to the people. When a parlia- mentary group cannot prevent the passage of a law, or when a strong interest out of doors is opposed to it, its enemies proceed by canvassing from house to house to col- lect the necessary 30,000 votes to secure its submission to the people. When submitted, its lukewarm friends neglect to vote, and its actual enemies generally sccure its defeat. While there is a great deal of voting (gener- ally on Sunday), few measures become laws under this system. It may be said that the effect of the referendum is salutary in check- ing the accumulation of ncedless laws. Bu its real effect is to paralyze all legislation The friends of a good measure fear to sub- mit it to a vote when met on every hand with the prediction that the people will surely reject it; and its enemies have no in- terest in” promoting its passage. vee Brigands are becoming every day more and more a power in Greek politics. Not only have several provineial mayors been tried recently at Larissa on charges of com- plicity with the banditti, but the minister of the interior, M. Ralli, has yielded to the leg- islative pressure brought upon him to with- draw from Trikkala one of his most ener- getic officials, who had distinguished him- self by the severity with which he was sup- pressing brigandage in the district. It seems that the bandits, finding that this official was hampering what they chose to describe s their means of livelihood, coolly went to their congressmen, like any other oppressed interest, and demanded that their represent- atives in Parliament should secure the recall of the obnoxious official. In order to compr hend M. Ralli's surrender, it is necessar: to point out that the brigands have confed erates in the legislative chamber itself, no less than three deputies having been recently indicted on charges similar to' those brought against the mayors at Larissa. Under the circumstances, it is not altogether aston- ishing that Kiug George should talk of ab- dicating, and the foreign money markets should manifest a barked reluctance to grant the loans so urgently needed and asked for by the Hellenic government. The Galiclan exhibition at Lemberg, re- cently opened by Archduke Charles Louis in the presence of three Austrian ministers and an enthusiastic crowd of Polish visitors, is deseribed by the correspondents of the Vien na newspapers as one of the most interesting shows of its Kind. The site is the larg plateau of a hill overlooking Lemberg, in itself a great advantage, and instead of a sucecession of large buildings, the goods are shown in no fewer than 130 pavilions, each in a different style of architecture. The most striking part of the exhibition is appa- rently the Polish art section, divided Into historical and modern classes. It is con- tained in two pavilions, one, in the form of an Egyptian mausoleum, containing all the pictures of the great Polish artist, Mateiko, except the one included in the Vatican gal- lery; and the other, showing a panorama of the great battle fought 100 years ago, in which the Poles, led by Kosciusko, were vic- torious over the Russians. In one of the pa- villons the petroleum industry of Galicia is illustrated in detail, from the deep boring on the Canadian system, introduced by the nglish firms that own large naphtha mines in Galicla, to the process of refining. An- other pavilion has been erected by the Poles in the Unite tates, the present exhibition being regarded as national in its character. The emperor has promised to visit Lemberg in September, and the show will remain open till October 15, not " An anti-anarchist alliance has been formed in Europe which s likely to render life miserable for the advocs of dynamite and murder as remedies for soclal llls.

All right,’ says Gorman, and the morning he went back to New York. 'wo or three weeks after this meeting it ame to my knowledge that Governor Cleve- land had written a document bearing on the campaign. I cannot tell you, for certain reasons, what that document was, but I be- lieved ‘it would have an important in- fluence, and not a very good one at that. So I wired to Gorman, asking him to come immediately to Albany. He came on a fast train and ‘met me, and I told him of the contents of the campaign document that Goy. ernor Cleveland had written. He was as tounded, and he hurried up to see the gov- ernor. At that conversation Gorman asked the governor the nature of the document, reminding him pleasantly at the time of his former words, that he, Gorman, was to run the campalgn. Gorman added that If the document was of any importance it would do no harm to submit it to the chairman of the national committee. “All right,” says Cle el out the document, say think of that, Gorman?" “Gorman read the document over very carefully, and then, without a word, he flung it Into the grate, saying: ‘That's what I think of that document.’ “It was a little chilly in Albany night, and there was a fire in the and the document began to burn, land jumped out of his chair and hopped up and down in his anger, shouting: ‘No man alive can burn any document of mine, What do you me: “ ‘Why, governor,” said Gorman, as coolly as you please, ‘you said that I was to run this campaign according to my own di tion. The document that I have thrown into the fire is about as manuscript as ever came under wmy “Cleveland meantime was tramping about in his rage, but Gorman was as cool as an iceberg. Finally Cleveland bogan to laugh at himself. He remembered his remarks to Gorman on the first interview, and the two men parted friends, but not until Cleve- land had told Gorman that he was the coolest son of a gun he had ever met.” If Senator Gorman could have got hold of the. letter Mr. Cleveland sent to Prof. Wilson he might have found a fire some: where in Washington, even in July. ———— GOING BACK TO RIS PEOPLE.
