Order does not reign in the mining regions
of PENNSYLVANIA. although the cOllicres have
resumed work under military protection. Inc
strikers still threaten the more sensible men
of their trade, and unless the authorities act
more promptly than heretofore, they seem
likely to have fair opportunity for filling up
the measure Of their wicked designs.
The appraised value Of the property attached
10 seclne the people in the suits against the
Sweenys is small indeed when compared with
the amount for which the suit is brought, but
il rises to the rank of millions, and Is too large
a sum TO be left in the hands of the thieves
The list of property affected by the suits, as
published to-day, shows that none OF 1t Is held
in the name of either OF the Sweenys.
There is no conceivable reason why the city
should not conduct business like private i'll
notwithstanding for unslillcd labor only what
that labor is fairly worth i'll the open market
The clamor against the effort of city authorities
to this end is pure demagOgism. The wages
paid by the city are paid out of the peoples
pockets. No thinking voter, who pays or OK
poets even to pay any taxes, will object to the
city's getting its work done Oh rs good terms
as private individuals.
The verdict of the Coroner's jury Ill the
case of the victims of the church
burning at lIolyoke seems TO lay the
burden of the blame upon the construct
ors of the building. and this is doubtless
where il belongs. Ii.t'c good will be accom-
plishcd if the investigation ends with this
firding. We fear the verdict upon a similar
disaster IN this city, only few months ago,
is already slipping frmn the memory of the
public and The courts.
The latest phase of the political contest IN
Ncw-Hompshire shows regard for law and
order which might have ayercd trouble had
il been manifested q few days earlier. Both
parties dtsst for a time from a partisan con-
test in tfe Leeisatho and quietly await the
opinion Of the Superior Court on the questions
at issue There is TO guarantee, however,
that either party will respect the opinion Of
the court on q case 80 irregularly presented;
30 that a settlement does not seem near at
hand.
The disposition - make things lively has
not deserted the Bacon family, as may be III
! felred from to-day's letter from the Rev.
| George b. Bacon, III further discussion of MIR.
| Bowens claims 10 position in a religious So
| cictv. Mr.. Bacon makes some statements OF
| his personal knowledge as 10 what Mr.. Bowen
has claimed 10 know concerning tie Brooklyn
scandal, and, assuming these TO he accurate,
certainly makes out "a strong ease against
1.-THE policy OF silence which Mr.. Bowen has
considered it his duty TO pursue.
There has been SO much occasion recently to
censure officers of ocean steamers for not avert
ing disasters, that il is particularly gratifying
now 10 have a very different duty to perform.
The fire which broke ont on the Crescent City,
bound for Havana, only needed a want of
discipline such as was displayed on the Schiller
To make il terrible catastrophe. 1t was the
calmness OF the captain, the courage OF the
chief engineer. and the promptncSs of the crew
to obey ORDERS which saved the passengers
from cruel fate.
Much fear has been expressed during the
past wear lest the navigation Of the harhor
should bc ENDANGERED by deposits of refuse
and ashes. The order Of the Board OF Police
Yesterday, that such street refuse as the Board
of Health may declare unfit for the filling in
of sunLen lots shall be taken out 10 sea and
there discharged, is certainly an easy way OF
disposing of the matter, but the charges that
have been made that such cargcc5 have here
tofore found their Tcsting-place in the chan
nes of the harbor, show that the boats of the
Police Board will need careful watching.
OF all the Indians who have visited Wash
ington, those now pali,.ying with the Interior
Department are the most outspOken, not 10 say
the most refractory. Strange as il may seem,
The, apprar to have no confidence in the spccOus
preaching of the representatives of the Gov
eminent. Not cont mt with doubling the dis
Dosi,ion or the ability OF Secretary Dclano and
Commi> ,ioncr Smith Ia keep their promises,
spotted Tail adds insult TO injury by remind
ing the white men that he at least has not
been taught TO steal other peoples countries.
This audacity seems to have discouraged the
Secretary soIely, for he presently closed the
interview with the sad remark probably an
"aside' to the good Bishop and other by
standers) that " they dc MT give lis credit for
~ our desire to do them good ~ The big talk
Is over for the present, but it may be fairly
expected that in accordance with time-honorcd
procedents, the Interior Department will do
the Red Men the proposed good in spite of
their unbelieyins hearts and Directing lips.
