THE RAILROAD STRIKE.
The Switchmen's strike is still'
on with both sides of the contro
versy determined to fight the mat
ter to the bitter end. It does not(
appear unlikely that the strike will
spread all over the country and may
involve other branches of the rail
road service. Ihe switchmen ask
for more pay, and ask to be relieved
of so much overtime and Sunday
work by means of charging double
pay for such work. The companies
claim that they cannot afford to
pay more wages. There the matter
stands and the public must content
it&elf with suffering inconvenience
and financial loss until one or the
other of the parties has been pum
melled, beaten and worn out to the
point of yielding. It is the same
old story of the inevitable conflict
of capital and labor.
On such occasions as these the
necessity of more direct control of
the railroads by the state and na
tional governments is forced home
to the minds of all.
Why wait until the sufferings of
the public have become acute and
the most dire distress forces ac
tion? Why should it be necessary
that a number of people freeze to
death and endless suffering be en
tailed before the government sees
fit to take hold and adjust the dif-
ferences between employer and em
ploye? The railroads are after all
but the servants of the public. The
laws and court decisions so hold.
Why shall they then be permitted
to assume the positions of masters.
Our sympathy is in the first place
with the suffering public, the third
and by far the greater party affect
ed by the strike, to which party we
belong. In the second place we
sympathize with the workingmen,
who are forced to fight for better
conditions for themselves and their
fellowlaborers in the face of the
greatest odds, and who by the very
nature of the case are the "under
dogs" in the struggle. With Lin
coln we believe "that labor is prior
to and above capital and deserves
by far the greater consideration."
We know that under our laws as
now administered the reverse con
ditions exist. The railroads are
safe whatever happens. Should
they go into the hands of receivers
the government will take charge of
them and after putting them on
their feet will hand them back to
their owners again. Should the
men fail they are doomed to lose
their chance to work at their chosen
vocation, and may become destitute
with their families with no patern
al government to put them back in
to prosperity. Their occupation is
a most hazardous one at the best.
We say this without attempting to
discuss the question of who forced
the outbreak of hostilities. As a
rule when war breaks out there are
underlying causes which make the
outbreak inevitable and the details
of the first outbreak are merely in
cidental.
The only solution possible now
that justice may be done to allfrom
parties is by intervention of theplank
proper authorities to bring about a
settlement, and we hope that this
will speedily come.
Catarrh Cannot Be Cured.
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is
a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take internal r^m
edies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken inter,
nally, and acts direcMy on the blood and
mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not
a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one
of the best physicians in this country for
years and is a regular prescription. It is com
posed of the best tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combi
nation of the two ingredients is what pro
duces such wonderful results in curing Ca*
tarrh. Send for testimonials free.

Frank. M. Eddy is traveling about
the state using his little hammer
in trying to discourage politicians
permitting a county option
to be placed in the next
republican state platform. This
course may mean one of two things.
Either F. M. E. does not at heart
believe in his own preaching of the
restriction of the saloon license
evil or someone is making it worth
his while to attempt to have the
dominant party continue to ignore
the livest question now clamoring
for solution in this state.

It is becoming evident that Mex
ico no longer deserves the term of
our "Sister Republic." Conditions
coming to light stamp Diaz*
government as the foulest kind of a
despotism, which makes the tyranny
of Russia appear mild in comparison.
All state officials are appointed by
the "President" and all county
officials by the governors. Petty
criminals, poor people and Indians
are sold into slavery to the big
plantations, on which conditions are
so revolting that the former slaves
of the south were tenderly cared
for in comparison. The returns
from this slave traffic go to enrich
the officials and their henchmen
and it is charged that the war de
partment gets a big share of this
If there ever existed any
conditions that warranted inter
vention from the "Big Sisters" such
appears to obtain in Mexico. It
would seem intolerable that such
conditions should be permitted to
exist at the very border of this
supposed greatest champion of
human freedom on earth.
Did you ever pick up a paper
published at a strange town and see
a large showy advertisement with
out thinking to yourself or saying
to your neighbor, "That man must
be doing an immense business," or
forming a resolution to visit that
