The reversal nt the most obnoxious
part of the now famous strlUe Injunc
tion of Judge JuiildiiH Is a dlntlnct vic
tory for orpinlxeil labor. The decision
of the I'n I toil States circuit court
of appeals that xo much of that
order ns sought to restrain the
employe * of the Northern L'ucltlc re
ceivers from "no ( inlUIng the service of
the sold rocelvere , with or without no
tice , as to cripple the property or prevent -
vent or hinder the operation of the
road" was beyond the jurisdiction of
the Judgo. itml therefore lllcpil and of
no effect , should put an end once and
for all to the contention that receivers
can foiw employes to work fur them
under penalties ot contempt whom sol
vent business luen hnvo no right to en
force n similar demand The doctrine
that there can be no peaceful strike
and that men cannot combine to ci-ase
work without Infringing upon property
rights Is distinctly repudiated , rnlaw-
ftit destruction of property and con
spiracy to Injure the business of the
receivers by Illegal iiu-iins may prop
erly be made tlic iibjcfi of the court's
equity jurl.-silictlon , but that Jurisdic
tion Is not to be abused by Interfering
with the fri'i'ilom of the laborer lo worker
or not to worl ; as he may deem either
for his best advantage.
This now decision cnnnot but tveall
tludecision handed down last fall by
Judge Cnlihvi-ll. covering much the
same ground , but taking a position pre
cisely the opposite of that of Judge Jen
kins. The conflict of authority was
pointed out lit the time and was the
cause of considerable discussion In both
labor nnd legal circles. Judge ( 'aid-
well upheld the right of labor to strllfo
and donloil Ihi1 province of the court to
lend Us aid to force wage reductions on
railroads In the hands of receivers.
The attorneys for the receivers socmoi !
reluctant to submit li > the result with
out carrying It higher on appeal , but
they llnally did so nnd are now doubt
less sallhlled with their oourso. The
circuit court of appeals practically up
holds .liulgo Cahlwell anil rocouclles
the coiillti-ilng opinions by declaring
his opinion lo bi > the one that Is alone
warranted by the law.
Uocnnse strikes are declared to bo
legally possible , however , Is no reason
why they should be oneourngod. It
ought , on the contrary , to emphasize
this demand for legislation that will do
away with llioir necessity as an instru
ment for righting labor's wrongs. Know
ing that the courts have no authority to
solve tin- problem , congress can have
no oxi-uso for falling to supply the
remedy. The need of congressional no
tion that will forever prevent the recur-
rciu-o of the disastrous strikes of the
past year , particularly by railway em
ployes , Is more urgent than over.

According to the inlnlstor lo this conn-
ry of lh ( > Argentine Hepubllo fret > wool
s proving to bo a great boon to the
vool growers of his country. He says
hat Iho Argentina wool Industry has
teen very much stimulated since the
'cmoval of duty by the 1'nitod States ,
law wool lias advanced in price there
ind oxtonslvo preparations are being
mido for exporting II to this country.
Ho expects the trade with this country

iiatlon of this a now steamship line is

with Argentina. Other wool growing
'oiintrlos ' have not reported , but It is
nliroly reasonable to suppose that they
will also bo favorably nflVctcil by the
'roe wool provision of the democratic.
arllT bill.
What does this moan for American
wool growers ? They must now com-
x > to In the open market with the Ar
gentine product and that of all other
'otintrlos ' admitted free and raised on
heap hinds and by means of cheaper
labor. Will they lie able to maintain
the Industry under those conditions ?
It does not seem possible that they can
ilo so. Just now the price of wool Is
being well sustained , duo to nn excep
tionally tiotlve demand , but this will
1)0 'only temporary. When the demand
has boon met the price will fall. The
production of AVOO ! has boon rapidly In-
iToaslng during the last few years In

prevails. Tlio opening of the American
market to Its free admission Avlll still
further stimulate the Industry , and as
It Is carried on In oilier countries much
moro cheaply than hero It seems
obvious that American wool growers
cannot successfully compete with those
foreign producers. If sni-h should prove
to be the CUSP Iho consequence will bo
the destruction of one of our most Im

Important Industry grow rapidly. That
It can survive with free trade In wool
those most familiar with It assert .Is
simply Impossible.
Wool was placed on the free list
upon tin1 thi'ory that It would benefit
the people by giving them cheaper
clothing. lut ! If It shall result In de
stroying the Industry In the United
States and thus place us at the mercy
of the producers of foreign wool Is It
not highly probable that this theory
will fail ? The total number of Phooi :
in the world is estimated by our De
partment of Agriculture to be nitl.OflO-

Is In the United States. 1C the industry
is destroyed In this country It would
seem to bo Inevitable that the wiping
out of over one-eighth of the world' ?
production cannot bill increase tin
prkv of the remainder , with the necessary
sary effect of advancing the price oi
every woolen garment. Another thing tt
be apprehended when the Amerleai
wool Industry Is crushed out Is the for
nmtlon of ti great foreign wool trust tt
control production nnd regulate tin
price.
Tills democratic tariff legislation Is r
good thing for the foreigner , us the
testimony from all directions shows
but the amount of benefit they will de

The report of the work accomplished
since its establishment by the lodging
house for women , conducted by the
Women's Christian association , must foe
gratifying to those who have contrib
uted to this commendable charity.
Every large city needs some place of
this kind where unfortilnate women
may be taken temporarily until their
friends or rehitlvs ran be found to
care for them. The policy of making
the lodging so far self-supporting as
possible , by exacting pay for the ac
commodations from those who are able
to make some return. Is quite proper.
From the statistics of the inmates it is
readily seen that the Institution is con
ducted on broad lines without discrimi
nation on account of ago. nationality or
religion. There is a wide Held for work
of this kind and the Women's Chris
tian association seems lo have set about
in the right way to cover It.

irudc , nevertheless , and If tt did not go as
ar as itine RTpcily manufacturers un the

close 10 per cent of the Iron producing works

iropeirly grateful , and they rejclce the more
o bo assured Hint tlio struggle has only be
gun , and that free traders In thin cauntry
iavo far grander victories for Great Britain

New York Advertiser : Beside Mr. Wll-
ion , at the dinner given last night In London
sy the free trade Chamber of Commerce ,
wns Secretary Morton of Cleveland's cab'net ,
md Isldor Straus , member of congresa from
: ho city of New York. These alilo free

{ neil cf protection to the accompaniment of
ilrltlsh cheeis. The spectacle is presented
: o American wcrklngmen , whoso wages are
jolng slowly reduced' ' to the British basis ,
tor what It Is worth.
Now York World : Mr. Will am L. Wilson
never appeared to greater advantage both as
in American and as n democrat than In lib
speech at the dinner which was given In
lils honor In Lcmlott. As the guest ot the
sccaslon ho wns courteous ami dignified ,
ljut he did not forget his principle. ! or his
country. Ho warned the gcntlc-inon who
wcro his hosts that hs ! labors for tariff re
form were Intended nnd calculated to enable
: he United States to wrest from Great Britain
lior commercial and maritime supremacy.

Syracuse Post ( rep. ) : This Is just as good
n lima as any for the people to settle ac
counts with David I ) . Hill. Ho la the Mcphls-
topholes who set In motion all the series of
deviltries from the executive ofllce immedi
ately before and after Flower's accession to
the governorship.
Springfield Republican ( Ind. ) : Will Hill re
sign from the senate ? Hardly. The man
who held on to the governor's olHce SO1 long
after being chosen a United States senator
Is not-likely to give up the latter ofFlce until
a count of the votes shows that lie lias se
cured the governorship again , and perhaps
not then.
New York Sun ( dt-m. ) : With Hill as the
nominee , nothing Is Impassible. The New
York democrats will forget everything cUe
in the fervor .pf the. flRht and in the deter
mination to give their antagonists an oppo
sition so united and stubborn that the re
publican party of .Now York will be Incapable
of withstanding It.
New York Tribune ( rep. ) : Tlie deadly blight
of Mr. Hill's malicious praise hit Mr. Cleve
land's statesmanship a staggering blow In
the Saratoga , convention. If Mr. Cleveland
doesn't write : i letter resenting that assault
aa soon B.K" he recovers from his speechless
amazement it i\lll he because he Is a more
forbearing man than he Is generally taken
to be.
Buffalo Express ( rep. ) : The head of the
ticket Is the evil genius of the democratic
party In tills state , the man who for years
has shown how by holding a linn grip on
the throttle of the machine it Is possible to
utilize demagogy anil chicanery so as to
over-ride all political decency In your own
party and to rob your opponents of their
rights.
Philadelphia Inquirer ( rop.J : By the selec
tion of Hill Now York practically Ignores
nnd repudiates Cleveland. It Is gall .and
wormwood , And yet In the long run Cleve
land Is more than likely to have his rc-
vence. for the president will still be In the
swim when the senator Is a mangled corpse ,
with every presidential hope cruelly stamped
out of his bleeding body.
Boston Olobe Olern. ) : Mr. Hilt was sum
moned to the leadership of his party In the
empire stale by n demonstration of enthusi
asm almost unequalled In the history of
American politics , and he will be supported
with all the courage and zeal that are born
of the conviction that , with Hill as standard
bearer , yet another glorious victory Is to
b3 won In New York In November next.
Philadelphia Press ( rep. ) : At last the volera
In New York state have an opportunity to
strike a blow for pure politics and clean
political methods such as rarely conies to a
man In a lifetime. They have the oppor
tunity to strike this blow so emphatically
and distinctly that It will ring out to the
whole nation as the unmistakable protest
of that state against everything that la base
and mean In politics.
Washington Star ( Intl. ) : It Is not to ba
imaclred that the Cleveland men in New
York will labor with very much of zeal to
bring about an Indorsement of htm who In
season nnd out of season has done his nt-
mot to embarass the administration of their
chief. The situation abounds In all sorts of
complications , and although at this time It
Is not easy to weigh carefully the possibilities
and probabilities of the conflict , It Is certain
that Hill will have to make the fight of liU
Ufa in this campaign.

Mr. Boozs Is a candidate for congress Ir

Unfortunately ( hero Is no visible prospeci

SIHYLKD , Wyo. , Bcpt. 2To the Kill lor
of The B e : 1 notice a paragraph In your
"religious" column stating Mohammedanism
has a history of thirty centuries nnd lias a
following of 200,000 ' 'OO , etc. , and makes ft
disparaging comparison with Christianity , and
morally , socially uiul mentally the compari
son fe jmtltUtble , tlibUKh It * l < not made In
that light , but numerically nnd longevally.
In the first Instance , It Is questionable niul
very doubtful , while In the last It Is an
error too filurlng to be IMS sol \\lthout no
tice. While the birth ot Mohammed Is not
accurately known , It Is tupoml to bo about
671. A. P. ; Ms Oeath Is recorded in 032 , A.D. ,
and date uf the professed -tcvelntlons and In
scription of the religion nbout CIO , A. I ) . , nnd
conservative historians and authors allow
that U is embraced by one-third ot the hu
man race , and It Is certa'n ' that our lelttra
and system of nutation , also our nmlhc-
inatlci , were borrov\ed from them , anil wo
have never jnado any improvements on them ;
also , we are indebted to them largely In
astronomy nnd medicine , etc. , nnd nuy one
who will tnke the time and pains to follow
the history of that wonderful tcx-l will find
himself in utter nni.T/ompnt at the- distorted
records which Imve been handed him by the
Ignorant and unscrupulous fanatics ami bigots
of irellg.ous antagonism.
I do not lock to disparage our Christianity
nor to draw tiny direct cuuparlson between
the two rcllKlont , but honor to whom honor
Is duo. Mohammedanism Is guiding the des
tiny of one-third the- human race , and atone
ono time In Its h.story it surpassed all others
In all thlngi relative to welfare and progress
of mankind not womankind. However ,
woman owes but little to any religion , ( or nil
of them In different degri-os cast servility
and degradation on her. Yours truly.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1. Notification hai
been given to the govr.nn nt In mi In-
format way of tlic ratification by
the Chinese government of the new
treaty between the United States anil Pinna *
which was negotiated bj- Secretary of SUti
Greshatu aiut the Chinese minister , YQIIR .
Yu , anil ratified by tin ? senate on the part
of the United States. Only the forma )
exchange of ratifications between the De
partment of State and the minister Is to b
transacted to make the treaty the law gov
erning the relations of the two powers , and > #
this ceremony will doubtless take place
within a month. Minister Yang Yu called r .
upon Secretary Qrestinm last week and ald
to him Unit he had received word from lila j
government that It hud rntlflcd the treaty , '
that the document hod been forwarded to
him. also that he had received Instructions
to change inllflcatlons with the United
States as soon as It was delivered to him.
The treaty , with the Chinese seal nnd signa
tures , WHS sent from 1'ekln about four weeks
ago. In the ordinary course of communica
tion. sU weeks would lie required by Ita
tranimlttat to Washington , 90 that It Is not ,
expected at the legation for two weeks. , '
This IK the first authentic Information reA
celved In this city regarding the action at
the Chlncso government. As the diplomatic
business of the government Is from Its nature
transacted secretly , Yang Yu's communlca.-
tlnn to the secretary of state wna not inadu ,
known until Secretary Grcsham's attention
was called to the speculations afloat hero con
cerning the apparently slow course of th
Chinese Rovcrnmont In taking action. Then
Secretary Grcsham gave to the Associated
press reporter the true status of the mat
ter , nnd said. In effect , that the reports
tlmt there was tiny cause for dissatisfaction
over the \\ay China was proceeding toward
the consummation of the treaty were en
tirely groundless.
