NOTHER demonstration that the authority of the city is, A weighiier than the light Leaded folly of a labor union is called for, and it finds Mayor Gaynor and Street Cleaning Commissioner Edwards on the job, The collectors of ashes and gar- bage thought they could defy the municipality, imperil the public health by leaving the city’s wastes ungathered, and gain their point by eesaulting the men that took their places, Little time was needed | te ahow them they were mistaken. | Now their allies, the teamstera engaged by sub-contractors to} remove the snowfall, presume to “punish” the city authorities for’ patting down the ashcan war by striking. ‘hey are trying again! to imperil the public health and inconvenience traffic. ‘I'o quote the words of the union official who ordered them out, “Having already | spent over half a million of the city’s money in the employment of strikebreakers to take the places of the striking sanitary teamsters, | we now want the Mayor to burn eome more barrels of the city’s money im order that a general how! may go up from the tax-payers.” Public opinion sypported the Mayor when he met the insubordin- ation of the garbage removers with firmness and visited it with punishment. Public opinion will support him when be confronts the interference of teamsters who have no grievance of their own. The} city can worry along for a while even if the snow is piled but not} removed. As Mr. Edwards says, let it melt. Warmer weather is in sight, and smaller cities’ would pay no attention to a snowfall no greater than this. Better have the city inconyenienced than have) it abdicate to teamsters—whose strike will inconvenience themselves more than anybody else. : I centennials and yet of events that look ahead.

Lawson made Big Business picturesque, the latter has tried to live up to repu- tation. The-Federal suit filed against the National Cash Register Oompeny to restrain it from unfair trade practices and “acts of savagery” shows that this company has succeeded. One of these acts of savagery was'the maintenance at the Dayton factory of a Toom known as the “graveyard.” ‘This was filled with the registers of riva) companies which had gone to the wall. “Prominent display cards,” says the Government, “reporting the names of these com- panies, the dates when they went out of business and the amount of money lost by them appeared in the exhibit.” Would-be rivals were invited to survey the wreckage and draw the moral, and so were would-be patrons of rival concerns, the point being made that these would soon fai! and be unable to maintain the guarantees given with their registers. ‘This was known as the “glooming” process. Reprehensible, of course, and yet with compensating dramatic poasibili Phese things endow corporations with souls and adapt them to the purposes of farce comedy where heretofore they could be treated only melodramatically, as witness “The Man of the Hour” ead “The Fourth Estate.” The “glooming” process offers opportun- Miles of humor equal to that celebrated scene in which the prospective Muelist, quaking outside a shooting gallery, hears his opponent ringing the bell with repeated centre-shots.

Ayd the professor did not posseas enough knowledge military tactics to give the orders that would turn them around and stegd them back again. ° “And there,” says an observer of the scene, “the poor lads might have stayed till now, if Prof. Tom Jackson (afterward famous as ‘Stonewall Jackson’) hadn’t happened to come along and straightened out the tangle.” ‘This was but one of hundreds of military drifts performed on schoo} playground, college campus and village green throughout the South during the few years that preceded the Civil War. Awkward as were some of the recruits and their instructors at the outset, they soon became wonderfully proficient. The South was creating everywhere the detached parts that ‘Were soon to be joined into a magnificent fighting machine. ‘While the North still doubted the possibility of a real clash and talked pac tiently of compromise, the South wae quietly and effectively at work.

The South believed that each State was “soveret could at will withdraw from tne Union, And slavery was the point on which such withdrawals were to be based. At thie crucial moment came the Presidential election of 190, If the Republie can (tho anti-slavery party) should win, {t would mean that no new State could adopt elavery. The Republican candidate was Abraham Lincoln, who was known, to hate slavery as flercely as John Brown had hated it; but with a calm santty that had rever been Brown's, Lincoln had cisen by his own eplendid genius from utter poverty to the front rank of American atatesmen. Throughout his whole career he had loathed the thought that one human being ehoukl be the slave of another. He knew better than to eeek to crush slavery by the wild methods many Abolitionists favored. Yet his opponents feared his grave wisdom as they never had feared John Brown's violence. If Lancoln were elected, tt was a foros Gone conclusion that the South would Lincoln WAS elected. And immediately secession began. Seven States ¢ by South Carolina, which had ever been a firebrand on the “States Rights’* question), left the Unton. The seven were South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Texas, Louisiana and Georgia. Later, Virginia, Arkansas, North Caros lina and Tennessee were to follow suit; while border Btates like Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri were heavily represented in the Southern armies. James Buchanan was still President and would remain eo until March, 1881, The Secessioniste took advantage of his last monthe of office to seize United States property throughout the South and openly to recruit and equip troops. At Montgomery, Ala., on Fob. 4, 1861, representatives from the seceding States met and adopted a provisional government of thelr own, as “The Confederate States of America.” They chose Jefferson Davis for President of this Confederacy. Even yet, the greater part of the North did not expect war. There were, of course, much loud talk, much argument, many futile plans. But the bulk of. the people did not seem to realize the gravity of the situation, To the seceding States Abraham Lincoln announced that the Government would in every way, defend the Union, But he also declared: “You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors.” The South took him at his word.
