East St. Loui.i was the scene of principal ac tivity ii tho railway strike yesterday. A mob j of 3f t_M opponents of the crowd wi te armed wa* incd itittetl. bnt was soon abandoned. No shots WON lind, and it .ft not known that the rioters were armed. The Hrothorhood of Locomotive En? gineers lian not deoidod what course to pursue In regal- to joining the Knights ol Labor in their attempt to coerce thc Southwestern rail? roads. The chief interest in tho annual sessions of the Methodist conferences centres in the ap? pointments, which are (Men i'd until the clos? ing hour. The announcements were made ycrstcrda.Y in two of tlu> bodies which havo been In session in this vicinity. Formerly the changes to be made wero kent profoundly se? cret by the I.ishop rand bis council of presiding elders, but in recent ycursit li,is been a growing cusioni for the principal church'*-, at least, lo pick out their own ministers and tho Bishop merely ratifies the selection.* made. Among many city church''* the desire for longer pas? torates than three years, which is the extreme limit, is strong; but tho itinerant system, to which much of the rapid growth of tho Metho? dist body is attributed, has .. powerful hold upon the church at large, and any attempt in the direction of relaxing it, even by extending pastorates when ministers and people mutually wish it, is vigorously oppose i. It was not many years ago that the term wis inereaicd from two years lo threo. and doubtless a further extension will have to bo raado sooner or later. A MEMORABLE SCENE This will be a memorable night in the British Commons. Mr. Gladstone at the last moment has modified his Homo Kn lc. pioposals bo as to pr*:vent tho dissolution of his Cabinet and ls now ready lo take Parliament anil the world into his confldence. Ho is reported to be in ex? cellent health, fine voico and the best of spirits. The merciless criticism nnd the political in? trigues to which be has been exposed havo not impaired his confidence. Bold up to public ob'oqny as a traitor to tho Empire, a despot in his party, and a scatterbrain fanatic in his policy, he bas persevered in his course with in llexible purpose aud a serene, nntronbled spirit. Unmoved by popular clam or, andie* inayod by de-eitions in his own party and by cabals and intrigues against him, undaunted by the enormous difficulties of his task, he faces to-night friend and foe with courage and confi? dence anti believes thst the reconciliation of England end Ireland ia close at hand. 1'oor in spirit and shrivelled in heart must bo the man who is not impressed with the moral grandeur of this spectacle. Mr. fi hillstone may be every? thing that his bitterest foe says that he is, but ;n leant bil courage and his faith are magnifi? cent. Mr. Tai nell also bas a groat part to play in this memorable scene. He has it in his power to crush the aged statesman with a few acrid sarcasms or with faint-hearted and ambiguous pledgee ol lapport; or ho cnn strengthen the Prime Minister's banda with a frank acceptance of the Government'! measure and render the most powerful aid in securing the triumph of Home Sale. With England in open revolt Bgainel Mr. (Hailstone's policy, and with Scot? land wavering in ita allegiance to its favorite itateeman( a reboil from Mr. Parnell will be fnial. Men of all parti*-.* will be exaaperat* .1, it concessions of such magnitude are coolly and contemptuously received by the Irish memben. Mr. Gladstone will be fairly boote,1 out of office if he fails to conciliate Mr. Carnell with the radical measure which he has the courage lo propose, du the other hand, the Etfglilh ;*tifi **coir.i congtituenciei will be favonbly im? pressed with sign? of gratitude and DOlwerving rapport from the Irish side. Mr. Parnell will hat o;i decision ofrapreme importance to make when be Nepondi tO .Mr. Gladi! me's .speech. FURIOUS WORDS?AND A CRIME BEHIND THEM. The rhetoric of tho rebel Knights of Lab >r is as lurid ai the llash of their murderous niles, by which officer! of law were abor down in the discharge of their duty at Fort Worth. Men who are conscious of a just cause do not tear a pinion to tatters in stating their case. All this lit*- and fury 1ms no other object than to conceal two vital lads. The Knight! ol Labor began a strike, according to leaders of their own order, in violation of ita so lenin agreement, and in de li.u.ce of its principle!. They rebelled againat th" authority of their own order in continuing it after they were directed to return to work, and they rebel again*! tho laws ot tho land in refusing to prevent crime! by their own num? ber, prompted by the desire to make the .-strike success, ul. There are many good citizens who sympathize strongly with all north j eftorti ol workingmen to improve their condition, bnt are now in doubt- because they lil. inls shall keep ac? counts, wbieh shall be open to the public, of all the fees which they receive. Last year hills were passed putting iii) end to the system of I payment hy fees and mahing the ortices salaried, j but Governor Hill refused to sign them. The influence of certain D'liiocnitic politicians pro- | vented the inoiisnrcs from In-coming laws. Tho present hills are less searching, and they are in a sense temporary, the idea heing to ascertain the precise amount which the incumbents of these fat offices pur in their own pockets, so that a basis for the fixing of tcason ahle salaries can bc established. The offices have long been regarded as the chief political prizes in Brooklyn; heavy assessments have been laid hy campaign commit toes upon candi? dates, and largo contributions to campaign funds havo heen mado hy thu men fortunate enough to secure election. Republican Hhcrifl's have been chosen several times, hut in the Reg? ister's and County Clerk's offioestho Democrats havo held almost undisputed sway. "Boss" McLaughlin himself once served as Register, lt is generally believed that ths SherifTfl fees amount annually to $-10,000, and that each of the other officers pockets from $20,000 to $20,000 each year. Of course such compensation is out of all pro portion to the services rendered, These men should receive salaries for their services, except perhaps tho .Sherill', who is liable for large amounts in actions th.it may be brought against him; hut the amount that he now receives is plainly excessive. There ls no reason why the people who elect these ollie, rs should not know exactly the sum which is added to their private hank accounts while they hold office. Let this he ascertained and then salaries cnn he fixed for future occupants of these lucrative offloss, At the sanu; time, the fo-s that are paid for various services ought to be reduced and the tax upon lite people thus diminished. The laws now proposed require the R-'gister, Cierk and Sherill to keep full accounts of all moneys received in hooks that shall he at all times open to tba inspection of any one desir? ing to examine them. The expense of eon ducting the offices ia also to he set for! h. Sworn abstraeta of these secounta are to he tiled quarterly with the County Treasurer, who shall have the right to examine e tch official or Ids subordinates as to their correctness before a Justice of the Supreme Coan. A failure to comply with the law or the making of a false statement is made punishable hy fine or im? prisonment. Tlies,* measures will not put an end to the abuses that have grown up in the Offices named; hut they an- a step?and an im? portant one?in the light direction. pgOJ I V-SllARlXa. A dispatch fi on: Auburn, Maine, announces that a finn of shoo .uanufacturers have sub? mitted to their 750 employes a plan hy which the net profit! of the- business shall hi* divided among the workmen. The men are first to re? ceive as high wages as are; paid by competing linn-, ami ufti-i sviiiel ure. to allaru in flic net profits in piopoition to the labor contributed by each. In connection with this dispatch a very instructive review of similar eftorts in Great Britain and in this country appears in the new annual report of ths_Msssachusstta Labor Bureau. The report firt-t briefly de? scribes co-operation and profit-sharing methods whieh hilve been tested abroad. It then set* forth the plan of profit-sharing for a long time followed in tho Massachusetts fisheries. Sev? eral important manufacturing establishments i:i which the system has been tested for a num? ber of years are then mentioned] the est ab - lisiiment of Cameron fie Co., in this city, which divided profits for eight years'until Mr. Came? ron's death; the establishment of Brewster ii Co., which continued IO divide profits for two yeera until the mea dissolved the agreement bj i -ti ike ; aipl tho I'eiico Dals Woollen manu? facture, wldeh hus divided prouts since lsTS. Perhaps th. most important of the illustrations given, however, is that ot the Pillsbury Flour Mills at Minneapolis, though for more than ten years then- have been in operation in Massa? chusetts from seven to ten corporation! formed under the liBSSachUBStta law. The experience in this country thus far has been on the whole favorable to this lorin of ad? justment, lt docs not altogether prevent un? reasonable strikeei thus, the workmen of Brewster \. Co. struck for eight hours a day, lin 11__r 1 * they h.id it in their own power through their hoard of governors to make eight hours a working day, and hy -triking they forfeited a dividend of fl 1,000 which woald have been due a month leter, besides lo.-ing 98,000 in wilges, and al Un- end of two weeks went hack to work on the old plan ol" simple wage*. But there are very few cases in which winkers have shown so lillie intelligence in regard to their nw n interests. In the va** majority of in? stances, the harmony of Interests b -tween em ployera and employed has clearly prevented controversies and increased the prosperity of lin; enleipi ii-. The amount of dividends paid, iu additioo to regular wages, baa been very variable. Li the Be.ice Hale establishment, no dividends were paid tin- firs! year, fi pal cent in ihe second, "i per cent in tho third, ami A p.-r cent in the fourth and in the fifth year, hui arter the filth year the adoption of ten instead ot eleven lunn.-, for tin- day's work reduced profits so that no dividends were declared. Tbs Pillsbury bs tablishment h.is paid three dividends of ?25,000, |26,OO0 and$35,000, hut all the men are not included in the arrangement j dividends are paid to those who have eontinn ou-,1, remained in service for live years, aad iln- Bamber of thees is of course increasing; ann dividends are also paid to men in certain positions of responsibility without regard to then length of service. It is still a Question to lu- determined by experience whether it is wiser io distribute tbs entire dividend in cash, or to reserve a part for the benefit of tho workers, as ia done in many eatabliahmenta abroad i wh.-ther it Ls better to pay a dividend after a dividend BSS boen made to capital, or h lou- or at tho Seline Iiiin* with such a dividend ; and in what iii ide, if at all. ihe power of the employ? ers to discharge negligent or incompetent bauds shall be limited. Thi* Ifassachasatta r<-poit clearly indicates the opinion that, wlicr,' prollt *h.nmg i* attempted, it is necessary for tho protection of the men that thc power of the employer to get rid of those who uro not effi? cient shall be unrest! toted, and it is pointed out that in other countries, whore the men thein aslvsa le i v?- associated for maaifacturing pur? pose, agreeing to divide pioflt*, it has been found Bsceesary tint the assoeiatiaa should ex? ercise for thc protection of faithful woikors the same unrestrained power to dl-chargo those who arv m.gliip.ut or inefficient t-_l ll claimed by individual employers as es?otitinl to tho suc? cess of their cnteiptiso. If capital tulcs all the risks, whether it bo furnished by tho men themselvee or not, it must iu any ci.se retain ? power of self-protection. j*j CONUNDRUM FOR ME CURTIS. The Editor of Harper's WeeklB is. perhaps, to be regarded M Ihe loading Mugwump of tho country. At all event**, lie is I distinguished Mugwump, whoso views touching tho true in? wardness of Mu.wunipoiy are, of OOttree, en? titled to bo regarded as I hose of au expert. In a ate i'.suo, of Harper's WeeEtp Mr. ('unis, in ati.twor to tlie charge that aMugwiinipory aims nt goM-i-niiieiit Without party, expressed him? self this way: Till* itsS'Tllon ts a coiivntnotit falBitir.-itlon for Hie purinna* of ui.i.'liliic I1' un 1 inti, lint ll* mi)' hmm-t iiiitii lNilrio.le.il'>' in-ni, WOMgtoaaoore him ih.it, lu cur ooluiuii, ai inalntttiir-'t lu Hil* (iii; mil for ninny it y.-.n , " liidcpen-diM " illili! simply ut lOBOH au 1 d( NM ge***" eriitui'iit Ly inrtf. Now, it is not "a convenient falsillcation," but the sober truth, lo a .soil I hut Mr. Cuni* il mistaken. His osvu ri cord as a Mugwump contradicts his explanation of the aim of Ung ssiiinpery. The Mu ,'wuiiipery of Mr. Curtis is not a MiiK'wuinpery that looks to government by party. Directly before Crover Cleveland was nomi? nated for the Preeidency by Ibe Democratic party Mr. Cuitiaexpregoed his matured estimate of flint party on the door of tho lb publican National Convention. Tbo Indictment of the Democracy which ho then drew up contained these counts : Weare confronted with thc Deuinoratio parry, verv htinxry, unil. ut you nay we.l believe, very Hunty ; a party without a ilni{lc definite principia, a party with? out any dlitliii't NationsI policy which lt dare* to pre aobt lo the country, a p.irly which fell from power a* a complrsoy HRnlnit lunn in rights, mid now attempt* to monk huck to powor n* a couiplrucy for plunder Md ipall*. It will not bo pretended that in supporting Mr. Cleveland for tim Preeidency Mr. Curtis was luboring to restore to power in the Nation a political party which he had thus pilloried and excoriated. Of course not. The vorvsug gestioii is an insult to his intelligence and sin? cerity. Hut on tho other hand, Ilia devotion to Mr. Cleveland was not due to an ardent desire to retain the Republican parly in power. Very well then?wo far as the la*t campaign was con? cerned Mugwutiiperv as if expressed itself through Mr. Curtis had for its ann not govern* mont by either party, but the success of an in? dividual. Hence our conundrum to Mr. Curtis: Ifyon believed in government by party in I884,whicb jinny was it that yon believed oughl to govern .'
