Pacific road, and saws:
"Of cOurse il is altogether wrong for the
discharged employees to endanger the lives
ii Innocent travellers in order Ia take revenge
ON the company. Such conduct cannot be
too strongly condemned, but still human
nature IL the same every where and even 3
worm will turn and strike back when tro.l
npon."
This Is nothing bat an
ENDORSEMENT
IL an attempt at \ cold blooied and atroci-
ons tragedy, anil for cool remOrseless ruff
6anism and brutality, is without q parallel
in American journalism.
Prcceeding in this dialrolical vein the
Times gives expression to its hideous sagaci-
ty in the snbioined expressions Of gratula-
ton and satisfaction.
"The Tines deprecated the action of the
Pacific Managers when il vas first annonnc
ell and Characterized it a. unwise and i'm.
nolitic under the circumstance. Il alsO
gave iair warning to the road what II might
expect with two or three hundred discharg-
ell employees scattered along the line from
one end to the other. Il would have been
almost miracle under these circumstances
II there had not been some accidents which
would endanger the lives Of many innocent
persons ~ho were ignorant Of the facts and
who unwittingly trusted themselves to the
tender mercies Of . road that had implaca-
bic enemies scattered along its entire length.
As the Times predicted the accidents have
begun. the first one occurring to the passen-
ger train due in this city yesterday morn
ing"
1t is clearly apparent that II the Center
view accident was not q deliberately
planned disaster, the 7imes wishes that it
vas; II depr;cates the idea that it was &C.
casioned BY an unforeseen and accidental
Of a rail, and shrieks with
umlisguised and malicious triumph.
"Of course the cause of il il attributed
to broken rail- but il Is not stated how
the rail got broken. From passenger who
came in on an extra sent down for them it
j. learned that the wreck vas q terrible one,
the engine going of the track, the baggage
car making q complete scmersault and 90.
ing over it, and every coach tipping over."
But what il the motive for this remarka-
bic attack Of newspaper claiming re-
spectabiliiy? That is plain. 1t Is at war
with the Missouri Pacific and il seeking To
injure its business. Il is endeavoring to
point ont to the lavless elements Of society
how they can commit wholesale robbery
and murder, and have 1t laid to the ac-
count OF honest railroad men. II offers
itself ~ the organ of violence and bids for
the cheap applause Of assassins. II says to
the people Of Misocri-tO every man, NO.

for the Times is organizing banditti whose
business il murder, aud whose pro-
fession is plumber. The line
Of its operations will be along the Missouri
Pacific whose officials have incurred the dis
like and awakened The malice Of the Kansas
City Times The following extract means
this IL il means anything:
ut il to be hoped this accident will teach
the stif-necked officials Of the Missouri
Pacific Wholesome Lesson. IL n outra-
geOus to jeoparli1e precious lives for the
sake Of q few dollars; or rather, a in this
case, for the simple purpose Of airing the
authority and importance OF . lev big0tesi
and pure proud railroad officials Nothing
can justify the action Of discharged employees
in creating such trouble a. this, but facts
are facts, and there is m denying that the
narrow minded policy OF the Pacific Mans
gers II at the bottom Of this trouble. In
the meanwhile the people can only consult

For cool unadulterated malice that ex-
tract stands alone in contemplate meanness
and repul-ive deformi,y.
But what will the railroaAmen say Of a
paper which sdvertises them to the world
a brutal assassins and murderer; which
holds them up to d;agrsceful obliquy "a
creatures capable Of vrecking trains
freightel with human lives, and scatteriag
hOrrer and murder along . great highway

Thn may Be the 1smeS ultimate Of the
working men Of Missouri, but il stands
alone in the dishonoring opinios.
We earnestly call upon all Democratic
