perfectly good defease, If tlie fact
were as stated by the company.
It Is In connection with this explan
ation of its refusal by Hie company to
advance wages Mailt Ms* most interest
ing potnt of the controversy has arisen.
The statement of the company Is dis
puted by tlie men immediately com-
corned and by tfliose wtio quit work In
sympiftiy with them, and the demand
made tint the quotations tn dispute be
tuhiniMod to orMitmltdon—Mart i* to

We tl« tmt 1 at uk it at all remarkable
that rm* Ptillmnti company rrfusts to
submit to such arbitration, or, imlectl,
to ttuy klml of arHtrulion. AccejX-
aure would involve u cotiqdete elvoingc
hi tin* system of doing business wbieh
lias pfoVtiiltsl tn evify civilised coun
try from the heglmilug. Tlie rale of
wage* would be lixetl, not by those
responsible in law mad morals for
their jiayntent, but by persous less
wellsuformcd dlrjtt they ns to tin* facts
of the sit no lion mnI iaurtug no burden
of responsibility. Tin* Intslness of the
oiuqmny, tn u most vital ptrtleuhtr,
would Is* taken front Its omirol and
put In tlu* bauds of tueu 1st ting no in
terest in Its fortunes nisi possibly more
noxious to wfu pipukir Oiqilause than
to do exact justice.
Tilts would be true if submission to
luirttmrhm were voluur.iry. If It were
compulsory, we do not think that the
position of the company would be im
proved. The government cun set
up n board at aridtiutlon and give It
juriadhittou in all eiss of dispute be
tween euipi.,y,s-s iliui euipe.ycd, but
cannot enforce its dravn when ruu-
dered. Suppose such a bnanl were in
existence now, and disielisl against the
Pullman vmplnyt*— wlait could the
government do if abe employe* wore
dissallsti Sl arail refused to accept the
a ward V H might arrest them and put
tliem to jail tar contempt of court, but
that would not help the company; or
It might send then, to their work
benches under military guard. Imi it
could not make thorn work. Ou the
other baud, it could comp-l U»e com
pany to live u|i to the nwunl or ruin
it by tines.
Ttnre Is wmiiXliing taking in tlie img-
gratina of arlstrutloo. It curries with
It the idra of fairness—of the substi
tution of the opimluu of coho, unpreju
diced imii for tlie prejudices and pas
sion of Kcltish, excltisl contestants. But
wlioti tlie suggestion Is analyz'd the
appearance of fntraem largely disap
pears. Tlie arbitrator who can enforce
his decisions against only one of the
contestants whoso awe he hears, tlie
other lstaig always beyond his control,
naty be Impartial to temper mid in
luteution, but the effect of ills decis
ions catsuit )m impartial, livrry de
cision that is worth more than the pa
per It Is written on will Is* against one
siile to the controversy. Before such
a court, the nusi wVti property which
may Is* seized will liave uvorythiug to
lose anil nothing to gain.
We sluire tike desire of every good
cUizrai that fcilsr should utxoin the
largest soar** of the joint product of
btbur and capital that Is consist<*nt
w ill the lientlh} growth of industrial
enterprise, anil we sympathise dis*ply
Utah men who do not find iu their la
bor th- nouns of comfortable, hopeful
living: but we do nut see Jn arbitration,
voluntary or oompuisory, a retm-dy tar
existing evils in the industrial world.
Tlie m»n who are clansirfug for ac-
tiou by congress compelling arbitration
Socialist idea Mint ull Industries oliouid
be under lie* control aisl direction of
the goverumetit. When the govern
ment undertakes to tlx tike wages of
workmen it must prepare to pay them.

party organ:
•’Tliey can say two things about the
great adminia'ratlon: They saved «S.-
yyO.OOO In pensions and lost kat.tW0.tXW tn
the Interior department over and above
what they saved, and they have repealed
the election law,. What are the election
taws? Did the/ hurt 'ou? Were they
filching from your pockets? Were they
reducing the price of cotton? Were they
running down the price of wheat? Who
were the election laws benetlttlng or hurt
ing? Not a single man III this great
country- Yet th*y have done those two
thirgs!
-They will tell u, now. perhaps, that
In a short time the tariff will oe passed
and that they wtli then have three strings
to their bow. or three bows to their
string; $21,00,001) saved in pensions; 120,100,-
(xm lost in interior department after tak-
Ins oft wh-.it tliey saved on pensions; and
they have repealed the election laws.
And have reformed the tariff."
Judge Hines seems to say that
th >ugb peusiou payments were $28,*
000,000 less, the total expenditures of
the interior department were m m >,-
W m. ........ v... v ,vieit nix* the facts?
A carefully prepared statement from
the treasury department shows that
the total expenditures of tiic totefior
department to all of its branches for
tin- fiscal year 1S93 were $182,431,-
411.3d. For the liseal year 1804 the
expenditures were $100,381,821.33.
This shows a saving during Hie first
year of the present administration of
$22,072,300.03.
It is well to be careful to avoid eou-
fttsing expenditures with apiroiiriu-
tlbus. Tlie most Important question
Is to considering flic expenditures. A
large surplus from an appropriation
may be turned buck Into the treasury
or all appropriation may bo spent and
a deficit created.
When we say that $24,383,000 is
saved in tibe n'tminfcklititlon of the pen
sion bureau, we tntxin that the office
has been run for that much loss than
wus npproprtttited for it
On June 20 u resolution from the
senate requested inf'sninttion as to the
amount of the appwpiftttfcm for the
luyiuent of pensions which would re
main unexpended at the tlose of the
fiscal year 1804. The Information fur
nished In reply to Hunt resolution
showed that an June 20 there wus an
unexpended balance remaining Iu the
treasury amounting to $23,483,000.

at l.-ast $903,000 would !«? covered into
the treasury. Phis would make an un-
exptmdexl Imlauee of $24,383,0U0. It
Is safe lo assume that tho unexpended
txahiuce wliiob will be turu.-d back Into
tlie treasury is not here overestimated.
Tlie total amount of lihe pension ap
propriation for fhe past year was
$100,331,330. Petusion Uommlsstotu>r

ministration, estimated Klimt oho high
waiter mark of |n-ush>a ex|iendlturc
would be reax-hed July 1, 1804, aud
would be $18*.000,000. It Is probable,
thi*refore, bud the same mauagi-nicot
bei-u continued In tlie isxnsion bureau,
that not only would tlu* totul approprl*
nflon for pensions have been expended,
but a deficit of some $20,000.1.10 would
Irave iMx-n CTiwted. TWs makes a dlf-

what the present administration Las
spent for |u-i>dons and wlaut ivistld
liavx* tuvu spent tiy the previous ad-
mtotainKtiqp.
These figures show that Judge liiocs
was wTnug. The economy that resulted
In a large decrease of pension ;iny-
incuts was reul, not dham, as be seems
to think, and tho result was a saving
of many millions of dollars to the
vux puyxs. Wlieu Judge Iliues asks

A PATERNAL18TI0 FAILURE.
Tlie Btiltimore Mainufiaomrcrs' Rec-
onl omdeuses into brief form tlio in-
teresitng swuisdes of the sixth sta
tistical repia't of the intMutate cimmiis-
sion for she yeur endjug June 30, 1803.
These reports, for some unexplained
reason, are always very slow iu mak
ing their appearance.
The total extent of the railwuya of
the United Slabs ou June 30, 1SSI3,
was 170,401 iu'.U". au Increase during
tlie year of 4,807. 'Pile corresponding
inomtM* during the previous year was
3,100 indies, allowing tlmt during tlie
ytxir covered by the report there was
some revival to construotiou. The
state of Washington led in construc
tion with 530 miles.
There were 34,788 locomotives in into
and 1,273,940 curs. The number of
employes was 873,002, au increase of
52,187. Employes average 5.15 p<c
mile of road. There were 299 passen
gers and 2,727 employe* killed during j
the year, -wo ue.inus turning oocumti
In coupling and uncoupling core. Pas
sengers injured numbered 3.229. em
ployes 31,729. One passenger was
killed In each 1,985,153 passeugers
carried, or one for each 47,588,900 miles
traveled. The statistics show one em
ploye to have been killed for every
113 trainmen, and one employe in
jured for every ten engaged iu the
service.
The capital to railways was $10.-
5tKI.235.410, or $03,421 per mile; stock
outstanding $4,00S,035,418; funded debt
outstanding $5,225,089,821. Tlie stock
paying no dividends wus $2,859,334,-
572, or 01.24 per ceut. of the whole.
Tlie dividends paid were $100,929,883.
Over 10 per cent, of mortgage binds,
or $492,270,009, were paying no Inter
est Eighty-two per cent of income
bonds paid no Interest
Gross turnings were $1,220,751,874,
or $49,344,531 more than to previous
year; operating expenses $827,921,299,
or $40,923,303 more than In 1893. Net
income available for dividends fell off
$4,907,157. Of the gross earnings,
$301,491,810 were from Mwcngets,
$829,053,801 from freight
The first thing nlmtlt these statistics
to strike tlie reutkr Is tho enxrnuius
extinct of tine business to Which they
relate. Tho taptoaliznllon of tlie rouds
represents nearly one-sixth of the total
wealth of the country, and ttu-.r em
ployes constitute a greax army. Ami
the killed nod wounded of fflis army
every year number os many as the
killed and wounded of almost uny great
Ixattle of modem wars.
The panic lmd not coino to Its worst

even then, it is shown, the vast mvest
ment* In railroads were only partially
remunerative. Use next report will
doubtless make «n even worse showing.

We think they expect too much of
the President of the United States In
the wny of deference to tlielr wishes,
and that they mistake both his posi

to enforce fhe laws, not to negotiate
wfth them fhe terms on which they

tbelr's is to obey the laws uud to settle
the strike on (he best terms they nui

NOT A GREAT DEMOCRAT.
Mr. Cbarini A. liana of the New

in a Paris nuwsjnper, says the Demo
cratic party is iu a certain measure re-
spmsibje for the Libor troubles in this
country. It has, 'he say*, "belled ull
its promises."
The Republican newspapers ore; find
ing groat comfort to tbrae wonls of
"the great Democratic editor,” ns they
call him. As it 1ras been eighleim
yean since Sir. Dana's |U|s*r supiiorted
a Democratic cnndlitafe for the presi

economic and financial policy, it is
little difficult to uniliTstatul why h
should be classed as a Deunmmt, It

favorable consideration and the highest
office that cun be given tor merit ot cltl-
zcnihlp. The legislator* will surely elect
him to the United Slates senate and start
the example In Georgia that we believe In
the doctrine that honors shall crown those
who art entitled to them.”—Georgia
Cracker.
