Lnlxir won n victory tti ono of tlio '
courts of Now York a few days ago. |
There Is n oonti'Ht between the clothing
miuiufaoturorrt of tliut city nti'l the gar-
incut worker ! * , nnd the annoelatlon of the
former ordnred a lockout , to e mtlniio HI )
long as thu workers Hhotild innliitalii
cdtniuotlon with their labor organl/.a-
tlon. Thereupon thu workers Issued a
circular calling upon the trade to boy
cott the manufacturers. Tlio latter ap
pealed to the courts to restrain the work
ers from sending out tlio circulars and
obtained a temporary injiinetlon. Tlio
manufacturers asked that this bo made
licrnmnent. The court refused to do this
and dliwolveil the temporary injunction ,
leaving the workers free t ( > send out the
objectionable ! circulars.
From a report of the prroe'edlngs it
appear * that the judge ) held that the notion -
tion of tlio association of nuinnftu'tiirors ,
In pushing a resolution looking out the
union workers , was a conspiracy , while
with regard t'j tlio rotaliat > ry action of
the men In adopting the IMVC HI hosaid
"it was a very close question whether
they had not a right to'ay they would uo
all possible fair means to further and
protect their own Interests. " In tills
the court did not approve of roc ntrso to
the bjyeott , but simply implied that
men having boon shut out of employ
ment by a combination of manufacturers
tndcr clrcimuUuncea that amounted t : ) a
conspiracy , the men mi lit have the
itfht to take the course they did or any
> lhor fair means in order to protect
themselves. A niereantilo warfare had
jeen declared 1111(1 there was a combina
tion on both sides. The court could not
ieo that the mere fact that one side had
ssucd a circular against the other not
11 itself unlawful warranted the inler-
'oreneo of the court.
There was. of course , nothing in this
case that could bo utTooted by tlio recent
judicial decisions at Now Orleans and at
i'edodo. the former ro.ninj , ' up.m the
inti-trunt law and the latter \i\rm \ the
interstate commerce act. The dillleulty
is strictly local in its character and in
volves no issue that is covered by any
ircnorai law. The significance of tlio
judicial action simply consists in the fact
that it is a recognition of hibjr's right
of self-defense and is in effect a declara
tion that if combined capital makes war
upon organized , labor and the latter
adopts fair moans of retaliation capital
must not look to the courts for help.

The criticism of the course of the
Itritlsh government made by Mr. I'holps
before the Bering sea c mrt of arbitra
tion has evidently hurt British feelings.
Tlio language of the advocate of the
American case was very plain. He did
not beat about the bush in order to lot
the court understand that ho regarded
the conduct of the British government
in presenting the counter case at the
last minute as being unjust and tlioro is
no dillleulty in understanding his ob
jections to the supplementary report of
the Bering sea commission sent by the
British government to Investigate the
condition of the seal. Mr. Phelps char-
aetorlz.ed the British report as untrust
worthy , and besides it contains matters
that cannot equitably bo presented as
evidence to the court. In a word , tlic
British government manifestly tricked
tlio United States in this particular , and
Mr. Phelps plainly told the representa
tives of that government that had he
been guiding the policy of this country
when the counter case was presented by
Great Britain ho would have refused tc
proceed with the arbitration.
The reply of Sir Charles Kussell call'
not bo regarded as'a particularly strong
presentation of the British case. It wm
quite natural that ho should express :
surprise at the charge of injustice made
by the American counsel against thi
British government , but so astute r
lawyer ought to have been prepared foi
it and been able to offer a hotter argument
mont in defense of the conduct of the
British government than Sir Charlo :
Kussell did. It is manifestly useless tc
attempt to belittle the attitude of Mr. .
Phelps on the ground that ho is con
tending merely with reference to que
lions of procedure. The matter upoi
which Mr. Pliolps based his criti
eisni is plainly of very great im
portaneo and to have ignored it or trcatoc
It with indifference imirht have seriousl ;
prejudiced the American case. As ti
the newspaper opinion that a plain am
candid criticism mi it interfere witl
the amicable solution of the question.-
at issue , it is n it in harmony with tin
British boast of fairness. However
neither the British nor American arbi
trators can solve the questions. Tha
duty will devolve on the three member
of the court ropro.iontlng Italy , Swodei
and Franco , and they are presumabl ;
quite capable of e'msidoring ' the matte
in an unprejudiced light.
Meanwhile the American people ma ;
rest assured that the case of the ITnltei
States will be ably and judiciously man
aged. No man is more familiar with th
questions to bo passed upon than Mi
Pliolps and ho has the assistance c
lawyers of the highest ability. Of cour.i
it is to bo presumed that his argument
which nppa-ontly lias had such an irrl
tating effect upon the British minil
was fully outlined to his associates be
fore being delivered and had their ill
proval. There is reason to believe tha
it was an effort of extraordinary powo
and force.
TllBllK is in the city of Plttshurg

this to be tlio llrst case of the kind 1

Tlioro Inn been Introduced In the
Unlled Hiatus suniito a resolution axklnir
an Inquiry iw tn the roueal of the antl-
pooling chi'.iio of the Interstate com-
nieiceact , the object being , it seems , to
got the vio'.vs of railroad men and others
upon the ( | iKHtlon of m idlfylng the law
HO a to permit , pooling , subject to the
regulation and super > * islon of the Inter
state Comiuei'co c.iimnl-Hlnn. This \va *
proposed to bo done in an amendment to
the law offered In the last congress ,
but It wiu iut popular in the house
and was dropped without a test vote.
Tlio fnterstato Commerce com
mission did not recommod a modification
of the pinling clause in their last annual
report because they desired llrst to ob
tain the power to compel the attendance
and testimony of witne cs in proceed
ings before them. This was granted by
an act of the last o Migress , and it is be
lieved the oimmls-tionors will In their
next report give more attention to the
pooling question a'ul perhaps recom
mend such a modification of the law in
thU particular as lias been proposed.
It would seem that congress had re
ceived all the opinions on this subject
that it needs fjr its enlightenment and
guidance. Tlio most prominent railroad
men in this country wore hoard on this
subject by c munlttccs of the last con
gress , most of them presenting elab
orate arguments to show that pooling is
necessary to a fair and stable adjust-
nunt of railroad rates and that without
t there wore various dangers to bo ap-
irohended , not the least of which was
.he combination of roads. All the.se
ailroad magnates agreed that it pool-
ng wore allowed it should bo done sub
ject to the regulation and supervision of
tlio Interstate Commerce commission ,
and it inay be remarked that they also
md no objection to offer to the inter
state commerce law with the ex
ception of the anti-pooling. The
subject also received a great
leal of public discussion , much of it fa
vorable to the proposed change in the
aw. It is hardly po.isiblo that congress
; an obtain any additional information
of value or which would bo likely to
prove more convincing than what has al
ready been given it.
It is probable that had the proposition
for a regulated system of pooling been
brought to a vote in the last congress
it would have received a considerable
support , but it undoubtedly would have
had a largo majority against it
in the house , and it is ques
tionable whether it could have
passed the senate , whore it had
siino strong advocates. There is no
apparent reason for assuming that it
will have any hotter chance in the next
congress , unless tlio Interstate Com
merce commission should strongly
recommend the proposed modification of
the law , which they are hardly likely tj
do. The disposition shown by the com
mission hitherto has been to ignore this
subject and the same sort of conservatism
is to bo expected hereafter. So far as
public sentiment is concerned it is quite
impossible to determine on which side
of the question n majority of the
people would bo found. A very
largo number of business men
in the larger tra'lo centers doubtless
are in favor of pooling , but those in the
smaller places are very likely generally
opposed to it , believing that they derive
benefit from the competition in rate
which pooling would put an end to. Prob
ably a majority of the people interested
regard the anti-pooling clause of the interstate
terstato commerce act as a safeguard
which it would bo unwise to remove. '
THE resignation of Mr. MeLeod froir
the presidency of the Philadelphia &
Heading Itnilroad and Coal and Iroi
company will occasion little surprise
The pressure under which this actioi
was taken was too strong to bo resisted
even by a man of McLeod's sublime as
suratico and self-confidence , and the saint
pressure will drive him out of the
receivership , which , it is understood , hi
will presently resign. As to his retirement
mont from the presidency of tlio corpor
ation which ho has ruined ho say *
in his letter of resignation : "Mj
reason for thns resigning it
my belief that needed linaiicia
assistance will not be accorded t' ) tin
company HO long as I continue to occupy
the position of president and receiver. '
If ho had thought of this several month !
ago it would have been hotter for the
company , but so far as the public is con
cerned it is a good thing that his career
as a Napoleon of monopoly was not
checked in time to prevent the failure
of the Reading deals , ills successor in
tlio presidency will not be likely to emu
late his meteoric example.

actor wore condemned , and the nnti

contention Is discreditable to America !

have more buslnuss than they can well at
tend to , and if the rales were lowered on th
muro desirable trains it would induce a rusl

port all who desire to go. This nrgumcn
proses too much , and wo thus have : th' '
word of the railruud men that passenger rail

The "dark lantern'1 order which was
issued by the Postoftlco elopartmont yester
day upon the direction of President Cleveland -
land forbidding the publication of changes
in postmastershlps , and which promised to
cut oiT from the public all information relat
ing to the appointment of ikmtinaslura of the
fourth class in Nebraska and other states
was today rescimloJ. It Is not prob.iblo
tliut It will over bo renewed. The order had
the effect of depriving the readers of Tun
! : ; of the news relating to the appointment
of a hit-go number of iKHtmustors yesterday ,
but thcro Is no probability that any further
effort will bo made to curtail in Iho le.ist in
formation for tins public.
It was learned today that the reason the
president directed the appointment Ixxiks to
bo closed against the newspaper men was
that some of them have been In the habit of
writing blood-curdling introductions to their
dispatches each day in which they noted the
enange'H which took place in their states , ami
referring to "Headsman Maxwell's bloody
ax" and the "How of gore which followed
the loading of so many innocents to the
guillotine , " etc. , and which fui'iiisheil
ttio text for severe criticisms upon
the part of certain mugwump news
papers. The president got it Into tils
head that the country was coming to Iho
conclusion that ho was chopping off the
heads of postmasters without regard to the
time they had served , their elllclenoy 01
popularity or anything else , and that ho was
simply beheading republicans to glvo places
to spoilsmen democrats.
The order to close the books brought a
perfect storm of disapproval from men In a I
parties. Senators especially denounced the
program for secret decapitation and a num
ber of resolutions were prepared and would
have boon Introduced in the senate had not
the order been rescinded. It is probable
that no power could have kept the postofllee
changes a complete se-cret.
Some of tin ) Clmii i'H i\iilnhioit. :
At the bottom of the list of appointments
made today appeared a note explanatory of
the changes and intended to excuse the
largo number of removals of republicans ,
After stating the number of appoint
ments for today , llio number ol
removals , resignations and vacancies
created by death whicli were Illled , the ex
planatory ofllciai note-observed that "twenty-
six of tin1 postmasters removed served foui
years and over and. thirty-three served ovci
three years. " This disclosed the point
whcro President Cleveland's shoo pinched. .
Hu wanted the mugwumps to believe that hi
had some regard to length of time sorvee
even if he had not for olllcloney and genera
merit. It seems that the "dark lantern'
principle is to hi1 introduced in other depart
ments of the government. Secretary Hok (
Smith has removed between thirty-livo une
llfty republican special examiners for tin
pension oflico who are out in the Held and Iu
refuse's to give the names of the men removed
moved or assign any reason for his action
The exact number removed ho will not state
Ono report has It forty-eight and anothoi
"over thirty-livo. " An intimate friend o
the secretary of the interior told Tin : Hr.i
correspondent this evening that the reasoi
thcro had been wholesale removals of spjcia
examiners' in the pension service was be
cause it was found that out of eighty exam
luors but two wore democrats , and tin
secretary is determined to have some demo
crats in the pension Held.
Since thcso examiners are appointed
through the civil service commission it i :
hard to conceive how forty or llfty demo
crats are to bo selected from the party foi
thcso petitions to take ; the places of rcpub
lieans if the law is not openly aril criminallj
violated , but it is safe to say that all of thi
incii who will secure positions will bo demo
crats. If the civil service commission ob
Jects thcro will bo now civil service e-ommis
sioncrs , and they will bo spoilsmen who arc
deaf to the law.
Oillotift CompnrlgniH.
.When n St. Louis newspaper disnatcl
quoting ox-Prosluent Harrison as saying ii
an interview that thcro was "no dust on hi ;
trousers' knees" came under the eyes of tin
army of office seekers in Washington thei
looked aakanco at each other , as if to say
"that Is intcn'leil for you. " It was the pur
l > ese of the writer of the interview to ascribe
to the cx-prcsidcnt the sentiment that hi
had never gotten down on his knees to the
men who had sought the control of patronage
and legislation. The sentiment is susceptl
bio of being applied with personal force here
at this timo.
Never in the history of politics has there
been so much groveling in Washington af
now. Men who denounced Orover Cleve
land loss than eight months age , and whc
voted for him under protest only from i
sense of party fealty , are hero admirinp
every word he utters and act ho does. Then
has been a great "getting in out of the wet.1
There is dust upon almost every democratic
knee in Washington. Tlio men who won
