NGLISH manufacturers are showing a keen in- E terest in the labor strikes in the United States. English. labor “unions have been reported as offering financial assistance to their idle brethren in this country, and the English unions and English capital seem to be so agreed on the subject that it is easily possible that capital may also extend a helping hand, using the unions as its medium. % The cause of this trans-Atlantic sympathy need not be sought far. Within a year and* a half we have taken from Great Britain her supremacy and control in the metal markets of the world. We have gone ahead in steel, in structural metals, in machinery and in tinplate. We have done this while paying nearly twice as high wages as the British schedule. Great Britain frankly admits that she lost her lead by being weakened in the engineers’ strike, which lasted a year and so reduced her productive power that she fell before our greater vigor and re- sources. Her experienced business men see in the strikes in this country a chance to recover their trade and position. Her laborers, realizing the serious con- sequences to them of the engineers’ strike in the loss of occupation, see at last their oneness of interest with their employers and are ready to encourage their American fellows in the same course which was dis- astrous to them and to British trade. So great is the anxiety felt in England that the London press makes no attempt at concealment. The strikes are spoken of as a revolution that will end in armed resistance to capital, and there is adopted a cunning undertone of appeal to the foreign element in this country, in the supposition that its allegiance to our institutions is not strong enough to resist the promptings of personal or class selfishness. This sort | of foreign influence and interference is something new in our industrial history. If our foreign rivals believe that labor troubles here are favorable to them there | are many ways, open and covert, in which they can add to the discords that are now on in every part of this country. These ways may be open or they may be secret. The danger of all organization is in its misuse, and the greater the concentration of its au- thority in few hands the greater is the opportunity for the play of illicit motives. American observers all | admit one probability as the outcome. The legal re- | sponsibilities of labor and capital being unequal, if | too great restrictions are insisted upon capital re- | tires from the field and production and employment ‘What comes then is familiar to all by reason | of recent experience. Panic, pinch and hard times | have usually been preceded by these contests, as in ‘ 1873 and 1803." In the distribution of production cap- ital has to make contracts and be responsible for their execution. Whenever there is doubt about its power to fulflll its contracts by reason of threatened in- fringement upon its control of the operation of that which it owns, capital ceases its activities, and enter- prise and confidence fall together. No doubt this is the condition hoped for by the large interests in Great Britain, which are doing their best to increase the friction in this country. There is no doubt that the hope will be realized if the con- test is sufficiently prolonged. It may be questioned, | however, that Great Britain will get as much benefit out of an American panic as her manufacturers hope for. In the present interrelated conditions of trade it is difficult to confine the suffering from hard times to | one country, and England is as likely to share in our ‘distrcss as she is to profit by it. | | | | | cease. A New York magistrate recently told an offender who had been convicted of drunkenness that he | would be permitted to go free provided he enlisted navy, but otherwise he would be sent to jail. Surely that is making a new use of our new navy. Is Uncle Sam to run a naval annex to New York re- formatories? {in the OWN in Maryland the Democratic conven- DEMOCRACY IN MARYLAND. D tion followed the example set by the Democ- | racy of Ohio’and ignored Bryan and the | Bryan platform. They adopted declarations of prin- | ciples and policies, beginning in this way: “We the | representatives of the Democracy of Maryland do not | fcel it to be necessary at this time to do more in re- ard to national issues than to reaffirm our steadfast legiance to the’cardinal doctrines of the Democratic | party as expounded by its illustrious founder, Thomas | Jefferson, and our undiminished belief that adherence {to these doctrines will best preserve in its original in- | tegrity and strength the constitutional government es- | tablished by the fathers of the republic.” | Having thus eliminated Bryanism from the contest and having nothing more to do than to nominate candidates for the offices of State Controller and of | Clerk of the Court of Appeals, one might suppose the proceedings of the convention would be dull and without vigor. Such, however, was not the case. | Maryland Democracy is never without as good a brand of perverted oratory as ever flowed from the lips of | men who love red liquor, and much of it was turned | 1oose, to the delight of the delegates. Fortunately, a good deal of it was fully reported, so that it can be enjoyed in print by those who were far from the tu- | multuous scene of its utterance. liest flowers of spring will fall over and around his moss-covered home, but they will reach him not down in his unembroidered chamber; the bluebirds will come and sing their first notes, but he will not hear their music; the winter’s winds may shriek and howl over the desolatg_plains and snow-capped hills, but they will disturb not his slumber. There he will rest all through the hours of the day and the night—under the golden sunlight, under the clinging stars. No birdling’s song, no floweret’s perfumed breath can purer or sweeter be than the emanations of his soul; and no sunset cloud nor line of life can be more grand, more beautiful, than the example he has left us.” * Passing from those sad thoughts the orator sec- onded the nomination of his man, whom he described as one he had met “amid the castellated splendors and romantic beauties of Garrett” when he was a candi- date for County Comptroller, and when “his manly appearance his ringing and fearless utterance, and above all his orthodox Democracy, thrilled and charmed me.” Proceeding to exhort the convention to rouse for the fray Mr. Kilgour said: “Our homes and our future are in this struggle. Kindle the fires on the tecpmost peaks of the mountain of Garrett higher than where the e\agle builds her nest or the deer makes her path, that their reflection may reach along the shores of Worcester. Place the sentinel on guard. Make every pass a Thermopylae. All along the line let the battle-cry be heard, ‘A white man’s government, through a white man's party!’ Then, on the morning of the 6th of November, as 'the booming of cannon hails the sun low wheeling from the deep, the old flag will be seen, floating in | triumph, with all of its former prestige and glory, and the welkin will ring with the wild hallelujahs of joy.” While the country takes little interest in Democracy just now, there will be none the less a good deal of satisfaction in knowing that the eloquent Mr. Kil- gour is not going back to the seclusion of his modest home, but is going to stay at the front and talk more beautiful things. He made a pledge to that effect in these words: “As for myself, I fully realize that with me the shadow is falling far westward; but, thank God, in the full possession of every faculty of the mind, ani with nerves as strong as the sinews of the lion, I will go into the campaign with all the vigor of carlier years, and with my heart in the right place.” With such a champion why should Maryland Dem- ocracy hesitate to discard Bryan? Why should not the banner be at once flung to the breeze, Kilgour for President? It is announced that there is to be a real earnest cffort made at the coming session of Congress to change the date of Presidential inaugurations to April 30. The event has now become such a spec- tacular show in Washington that enterprising people | there wish to have it at a time that will be propitious to a week of jubilation. I was in Texas, less than five years ago, and now such scenes are of monthly occurrence. The last one, in Alabama, seems to have been ap- proved by both whites and blacks, for both partici- pated in it. The crime for which this extreme and unlawful punishment is inflicted does not become less frequent as the severity of reprisal increases. The sit- uation is one that must be extremely deplored. Where a whole community is in sympathy with that mode of punishment the law is powerless. In the na- ture of things lawless burning at the stake will soon come to be the ordinary expression of community vengeance for other cffenses which have heretofore been punished by lynching. Homicide and theft, highway robbery and burglary, have all been in Judge Lynch’s court, and persons accused have been hanged or shot. Negroes are now the most numerous victims lynching for all sorts of offenses, and we believe the stake is reserved exclusively for them, as so far we recall no white man that has been sacrificed by fire. Senator Tillman, in a recent address in V LYNCHING AT THE STAKE. T seems to be impossible to rouse an opposition in public opinion to the lynching of negroes by burning at the stake. boldly vindicated’ the lynching of negroes, and had the sympathy of his audience. Extending his address he attacked Professor Booker Washington for ad- vocating the industrial education of the negro as remedy. Professor Washington thinks that educa- tion and industrial training of the negro will increase the influence of civilization upon him, give him seli- control and decrease his tendency toward any form of | crime. This is in line with the educational idea, and heretofore it has been believed that the negro is no exception to the influence of intelligence and en- lightentnent. The country has not much confidence in the judg- ment of Senator Tillman. But, unfortunately, it is not a question of his judgment, but of agreement in his opinion by the people of the South. South Caro- lina has a half million whites to three-quarters of a million blacks, and if the stake and fire are really felt by the half million to be their only protection against the black majority, a most deplorable condition is disclosed. If the South - generally share Tillman’s opinion there seems to be no remedy except separa- The first affair of the kind | Very soon they will be burned at the stake. | o | & sconsin, a 'THIRTEENTH SLEEP OF STURGEON e EXT Tuesday night a scene of magnificence will be presented in Mechanics' Pavilion, for on that date, the thirteenth sleep of the Sturgeon moon, a grand recep- tion will be tendered to the great chiefs of the Improved Order of Red Men of the reservation of California, the great chiefs of the Degree of Pocahontas and the rep- resentatives to the two great councils.

A number of negroes in Louisiana have combined to raise a case to test the constitutionality of the suf- | frage laws by which negroes are excluded from voting in that State, and it is probable the Supreme Court will convert the famous grandfather clause into some- thing about as dead as the great-grandfathers of the men who devised it.

He recalled that, once be- fore in that very hall he had in a Democratic conven- tion nominated another man for that same office, and thereupon he uttered the eloquent soul of him thus: “Many moons have waxed and waned since it was my pleasure, as it was my honor, to stand upon this floor and in this very aisle, in the advocacy of that splen- did specimen of manhood, that accomplished gentle- man. that bold and fearless champion of Democracy, the lamented Frank Ford, for the nomination of the Clerk of the Court of Appeals. But a short time since the boatman with his silent oar called and bore him over the river. In the County of St. Mary’s, where every inch of soil has its story of romance and of song, his remains were laid to rest. The odors of the car- which are punished by the stake in the South. The negro who for generations has been free and in con- tact with white communities where his legal rights are respected is, as a rule, as law-abiding and or- derly and moral as his neighbors. This supports the position of Booker Washington. The Northern negro is part of the industrial community. He gets em- ployment, and in many instances becomes an inde- pendent business man, or artisan. He shares in the community life, has the same ties of family as his white neighbors, and, while respecting the racial dii- ferences between him and them, receives from them the same respect. This condition of things in the North seems to negative the gloomy and barbarian view taken by Tillman, In the recent sham battle between opposing British ships in the English Channel the defending fleet was ingloriously defeated and eighteen cruisers were theoretically sunk. The Britishers are so accustomed to this sort of thing, lloglevcr, that the affair has pro- voked hardly more than a passing comment.
