DEMOCRAT MATTERS.
of Tariff fill la.
Comment has been mftl? upon the
fact that the Finance Committee has
offered 40ii amendments to the Wilson
bilL The same Committco offered to
the Mckinley bill .'t'.i'.i amendments
that changed its substance while of t be
409 amendments offered to the Wilson
bill, Senator Jones in charge of the
Senate bill states that a majority of
them simply changed the Senate
amendments and restored the rates of
duty as originally provided by the
Wilson bill.
As considerable comment lias been
made charging delay in the passage
of the present tariff bill, it i.s lint fair
to give the dates when tho several bill*,
during the last fifty years, have passed
the Senate, so that a comparison can
be made by the people, and a coneluh
ion reached as to whether the work
upon the present bill has been as rapid
as that upon its predecessors:

United States Pension Agent Glick
says that most of the stories started ill
his district 111 regard to suspended pen-
sioners is false, says the correspondent
of a Kansas City paper in a recent dis-
patch. The latest story of this char
neter comes from Beloit, where one W.
10. Ileadley was the recipient of a great
deal of Hepublican sympathy 011 ac
count of the alleged suspension of his
pension of 88 a month. The Republi-
can papers took It up and roasted I'res
ident Cleveland's administration and
tried in every conceivable way to build
up political capital on what was term-
ed "another of Hoke Smith's high-
handed outrages.'1 The fact is, how-
ever, that Ileadley's pension has never
been suspended. He drew bis money
at the last quarter in May. So far as
Mr. Gllck knows Ileadley is a desert
ingold soldier, whose record at the
department is clear
There are 105,00(1 pensioners on the
pension rolls of the 'lopeka agency. Of
this number .'170 have been suspended
under the Democratic administration.
The suspended pensioners were simply
required to furnish additional proof of
their disability or something of the
sort. Only 1.00(1 pensioners have been
suspended in the history of the Topeka
agency. The records show tho rein-
statement of most of these.
The Republican papers nre also
greatly agitated on account of the al-
Icdged lack of interest taken in new
cases by the administration. The re-
cords at the Topeka agency show an
increase of from twenty to twenty-five
new pensioners daily. Topeka Press.

This cannot be done at all except as
a result of the education which is now
being gained by them. There is no
way of preventing them by I: w, nor in
it desirable that the attempt should be
made. Voluntary arbitration, which
ought always to do practiced: which is
tin? true solution of all such difficulties,
requires no law, and to remain volun-
tary it must remain extra-legal, rest-
ing wholly on the free consent of the
parties Any arbitration which s in-
stituted or enforce! bv law is merely
one kind or another of a lawsuit, and
it is hardly necessary to say that law-
suits rarely establish friendly under-
standings ami harmonious relations
between the parties.
The right to strike can never lie lim-
ited by law as long its it means'the
right of one manor of a million to
quit work. The judgement of a board
of compuisory arbitration compelling
a man to work would reduce him to
"involuutury servitude," which is pro-
hibited ill the I'nited States, except
for crime. And a** it would be absurd
for the Govcriunenttoestablish boards
to render decisions which could not be
enforced by compelling those to whom
they wore directed to be governed by
them, it is idle to talk of compulsory
arbitration in strikes of the I'nited
States.
The law is not concerned with them
except as it is concerned with the
maintenance of every man's right, to
quit work when he pleases. The rule
under which this right must be upheld
is not so poor that it will not work
both ways. The workinginan must be
so secured by law in bis right to quit
work when iie pleases that he will not
be compelled to quit before or to goon
after be has made up his mind as to
what he pleases.
If he can be com polled .to quit before
ho pleases, he is as much a slave as if
he could be compelled to go on after
he bad made up his mind to stop.
To be free, ho must have the right to
work until he gets ready to stop, and
then he must not be prevented from
stopping by any master or any Gov-
ernment.
We have learned a great ileal
about strikes already. The next thing
we have to learn is how to enforce tho
rights of workingmen who wish to go
ou working until they get ready to
quit. We must do that, and when we
have done it, it will go a long ways to-
wards minimizing the bad effects of
strikes. Perhaps it will also do some-
thing to reduce their frequency, but as
has been said already, government is
not properly eoncerne I with that, as
long as one man's right to quit when
he pleases does not interfere with an-
other's right not to quit if he docs
not please.—St. Louis Republic.

Destroyers of American Homes.
No one with the best interests of our
American life at heart can look but
with disfavor upon the enormous
growth of boarding houses and apart
ment houses in our large cities, writes
Edward W. Bok in "At Home With the
Editor." in the April Ladies' Homo
Journal. To a far greater extent than
many suppose are these growing fac-
tors the destroyers of our American
home system. Each year linds these
apartment houses more generally pa-
tronized by families. It will indeed
be a pity if our American
women shall continue to csclicw
housekeeping during the next
twenty years as they have in
the past score of years. Nothing
bodes so ill for our children. What
recollection does life in an apartment
house, a hotel or a boarding house give
to a child in after years? 'The sweet-
est memory to a man is the home of
his boyhood, and how little sweetness
can there be in the memory of a child-
hood spent as a ''cliff-dweller!" A
child has a rightful claim to a home
influence, and a mother is untrue to
her highest trust when she deprives
her child of that right. To offer the
argument that a home circle can be
established in our modern apartment
bouse just as well as in a home is
simply to excuse what we know in our
hearts to bean untruth. Home life is
only possible in a home. A poor
apology indeed for a hotnc is even the
most comfortable and gorgeously ap-
pointed apartment.

There is no greater or more common

They are, on tho contrary, even the
