East St. Loui.i was the scene of principal ac
tivity ii tho railway strike yesterday. A mob j
of 3<?o men, alter being inflamed by Intempsr** |

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

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 <lo not know how fur tho
organization of workingmen is reiponaible for
infamous clinics whioh such citizens condemn
uurcsei vedlv. There is a simple test which can
be applied in every case, lines the organization
pievenl theiecrimes, its power to control it
moo has heen proved every day since tho. stnki
began. When i strike wai carried through to
the end by the locomotive engineer! a year
ago, not a man in the company's employ was
harmed, and its properly wai guarded, not only
againit reckleie strikers but even against inis
eh iel-makers, or t i iie\ es outside the controversy.
When an organization can do this, and does it
not, it is ibsolutelj rciponiible foi the things
which it permit! instead.
There are the rights of all laboring mon to bo
considered, moreover. Are these labor organi?
sation! toady io rapport a law providing thal
all men who desire to work, but hare been
threatened or assaulted and thus prevented,
may prove the facts before an impartial ni?
blin.il, and thereupon recover from the organi?
zation, or from each member of it, the sum
w inch would have been earned in six mouths or
a year if woik iu peace had boen permitted i If
the organization! are nol willing io moot thai
lo.-t, what is it theydeeirel [ul opportunity
tn nile bv force oi lawless violence ot er the
labor of fellow workingmen . Thal is a crime ,
the most dang, rous crime that can be com?
mitted against fiee labor, li any bodj Ol
itriken dies not in point of fad suppress and
proven! thal crime, when a itrike is iu progreea,
it provei tbat itianol tbe friend but the mool
dangerous foo of the cause of labor.
FOLLOWING MA BONE
Governor Fitzhugh Loo Seem! to be a ni in
of sentiment an.l credulity. Poi years Virgin!*)
has been fighting hei own legislation foi funding
the public debt. Finally ii measure was paned
which, it not entirely satisfactory to her
creditors, did at least ^ive snile hope of pt nc.
The old b.iuds wore to be fl Hided by new
coup.?n binds, ami in rc!urn for that portion of
the debt that was to be utterly repudiated the
ooupone wore inaile receirablo for laxes. Hui
the Mahone Governu out afterward decided to
repudiate th** eouprmi, thus striking at the
validity of the now bond*. Tho constitution?
ality of this legislation was tested in all the
courts, the United Slates Supreme Court finally
deciding thal the Stato must keel) to III bargain
and receive the coupons, and Mahone wa*
turned out of office on this ilene,
Tin* creditors of th*; State naturally supposed
thal Governor Leo would sustain tbo State's
honor and faith, hut he has just issued a proc?
lamation, at the request of his Lcgii-iuturo,
asking the ereditors voluntarily to nullify their
coupons and pay the taxes in money, He seems
to think they will do as a personal favor to him
whit the coulls refused to comp.-1 them to du.

people just what he had denounced and villifled

FREE OF RINGS (oi.siy OFFICERE
The hills which the Brooklyn Citizens'
League luis had prepared coneetning tho
SherilF, |the It agister and the Clerk of Kings
County ought tobepsnssdby thc Legislature.
They provide that ihesi* *>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

" 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
