SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6 1890.
If the men who build the railroads
and start the wheels turning are not
competent to run them who is? Is
it likely that competent men will be
found among the ranks of the politi-
cal strikers who never tried to run
any thing in their lives but the
“mashine.”
The question of party politics' has
about as much to do with the Detroit
tunnel as the fourth of July has with
■the tail of a tadpole and yet intelli-
gent democratic journals or at least
supposed to be intelligent are claim-
ing that tunnel as a triumph of the
Cleveland administration. The claim
can only be urged on the ground that
both are great bores.
The New York Central railway
strike dwindles down to a tug of long
drawn hostilities between the now
weakening forces of the strikers and
the company. The railway orders
as such keep aloof from any partici-
pation In the strife and those who
are Knights of Labor and Federated
railway employes as well will in the
end remain with the federated rail-
way association. There is enevitable
defeat ahead for the knights. The
public sympathy is with the strikers
but the company is too strong to be
influenced that way.
If railway strikers are to make any
impression on railway companies
they will do it as Miles O’Reilly says
by not striking. The only way to ac-
complish anything is for the organiza-
tion ot a federation of all railway la-
bor. This federation will be authori-
tative over its members and will be
position to make its representations
to the company management. If no
agreement can be made arbitration
can follow as provided for in some of
the states already and should be in
all. Pending the settlement of all
differences by consultation or arbitra-
tion there need be no mistake. No
road would refuse to listen to the
grievances that would come before it
from a body representing all the rail-
way train labor of the country. Such
a body would necessarily be conser-
vative and strikes would be speedily
a thing of the past.
The republicans of Michigan are
silent on the force bill because there
is no force bill for them to be vocal
over. All the “force” there was in
the bill was knocked out in the sen-
ate’s committee and then the whole
matter was laid ever until the next
session of congress. What need of
rushing into a record on a measure
not yet tangibly before the people.
The republican platform demanding
a free ballot and a fair count is yet
in force as a national platform and
state platforms cannot abrogate that.
—Stylbh belts and buckles just in
at John L Beretta & Co’s.
The president has been giving a
great deal ot atteution to the con-
dition of the congressional calendar
and he has become convinced that it
will be impossible to dispose of the
measures of national importance not
to mention those important to par-
ticular sections of the country in the
time between the first Monday in
December and the fourth of March
1891. At the same time it is believed
that he would prefer that congress
should adopt the resolution offered by
Senator Edmunds providing for a
recess from September 19 to Novem-
ber 10 instead of his having to call
an extra session.
Senator Edmonds says he offered
the resolution without conferring
with his party colleagues and be-
cause he thinks the additional time
which will thereby be gained is
absolutely necessary to dispose of
the immense mass of business—all
more or less important—with which
the calendar of the Senate is loaded
down. Mr. Edmunds thinks as
does every one else at all familiar
with the subject that unless those
three weeks before the regular meet-
ing in December are utilized in this
manner many important measures
cannot be acted npon.

The democrats are bitterly opposed
to the Edmunds resolution and some
of the most hot-headed among them
are already making wild threats of
filibustering against the resolution
when it is called up which may be
this week or later. These gentlemen
have apparently forgotten that the
constitution of the United States con-
fers the authority upon the president
in case of failure by the house and
senate to agree upon a date for ad-
journment to declare congress ad-
journed from one date to another in
his discretion and that this authority
will be exercised if the minority shall
persist in endeavoring to defeat the
will of the majority by continuous
filibustering is not for a moment to
be doubted. Minorities have their
rights but the fact should not be for-
gotten that the majority also have
rights and that in the senate partic-
ularly it has been extremely lenient
in demanding them this year.
- Another thing which will probably
nave a restraining effect upon the
filibustering proclivities of the dem-
ocrats is that among the measures
which the Edmunds resolution or a
similar one will give an opportunity
of becoming laws which otherwise
they cannot possibly have are a
number that the Labor organizations
and the Farmers’ Alliance are man-
imously clamoring for; and for the
democrats to antagonize those organ-
izations so openly they are always
ready to do so secretly would mean
that the republicans would certainly
elect two-thirds if no more of the
next House of Representatives.
It begins to look now as though the
reciprocity amendment to the tariff
bill would provide for iuclndingother
countries than those of South and
Central America. Senator Aldrich
who in the absence of Senator Mor-
rill is in charge of the tariff bill has
introduced an amendment to include
coffee tea and hides in the amend-
ment giving the president authority
to place a duty upon such articles
coming from countries which refuse
to reciprocate by allowing our goods
free entry Of course the question
remains as yet an open one and will
so continue until the voting upon the
amendments shall begin.
After several of the most disorder-
ly days ever seen in the house and
an unprecedented display of personal
feeling on the part of the members
only 31 votes could be mustered by
the opponnents of the compound
lard bill; but included in those thirty
one were some of the loudest-mouthed
men in congress.
The house has passed the bill
amending the eight hour law which
was asked for by the Labor organiza-
tions.
inspection bill and a strong effort is
being made to get the bill prohibit-
ing dealing in optionsin agricultural
products which was crowded out by
democratic filibustering last week
before the House this week. The
bill is almost certain to pass if a vote
can be had upon it.
Secretary Windom has issued a
call for an additional $20000000 of
4 1-2 percent bonds upon the same
terms offered in the call of August 21
—par and accrued interest to Septem-
ber 1591 when they mature.
