The Fowersessness Of Local Officials.
EChieago Times.1

CUMBERLAND, July 22.-Tne powerless-
ness Of thu local officials cannot be bet
ter illustrated than by the scene Of last
evening, when leading striker who had
been arrested was released by the Cum
berland Mayor. He may be blamed
greatly for this act Of weakness, but he
yielded under the impression that it was
necessary TO save his life. He was
dragged out Of his bed after midnight
by a crowd OF infuriated men, nearly
all armed. He was alone against a
crazy mob who would have charged the
station-house and killed the small
force there without any serqpIe. The
station-house is shabby, weak affair,
and would have afforded but little re-
sistance. The Cumberland police de-
serve no little credit for their pluck OF
last night. They were ready to fight
after capturing the striker, or would
willingly have died in the effort to hold
him, but against the order Of the Mayor
to release him there could be nothing
done,
