There is n dccp-rooted and widespread
popular hostility toward the leading man
ayers Of the large railways. People gene
rally think they have conducted the bust
ness intrusted TO them too much for their
own private advantage. But this forms no
excuse for destroying their property and
stopping their trains by mobs.
The conviction is universal that the four
trunk railways from the scaboard to the
West have seriously crippled themselves by
carrying on "A cut-throat war against each
other in regard to the rates If frcghts and
fares, especially the former; and that this
is the chief immediate reason why they
have found themselves obliged TO diminish
the wages of their employees down to the
mere living point, if not below It, But even
If the railway managers are highly cen
surable for these facts, their conduct af-
fords no justification for riots that almost
invariably end in incendiarism, bloodshcd,
and robbery.
The sudden reduction Of the wages Of the
railway employees, combined with the fact
that even at the new rates they can only get
work part of the time, has fallen heavily
upon vast number of honest hard working
or violence Of any kind, which always ag-
gravate the evils they are designed to cure
The countryl Is full Of men who are ont Of
employment or working at low wages. Tens
Of thousands Of them are very poor, and the
families of many are suffering for lack Of
daily food. But these extreme eases Offer
no justification for resort to violence. 1t
is the very worst Of all remedies for their
troubles.
This is timo for cool calm reflection on
all sides. The poor, who are suffering, should
not threaten To- rethliate ON those who are
better off, or who, pcrchance, refuse 10 hire
them at the price they ask nor should they
in these hard times, prevent any man from
working at any wages he scos it to take.
ON the other hand, il is very imprudcnt in
a crisis like the present, for the wealthy and
wcll-to-do classes 10 talk too much about
shooting down every one who doesn't
think a. they do, or act to suit them.
In Il word, this is not II good timo for
people to lose their heads.

Lively Games In Ncwport-Gcorge Fearing
and Carroll Bryce Injured.

NEWPORT, X. l., July 25.-This afternoon
there were half dozen games Of polo played
on the Wcstchcstcr ground. the attendance
being by far the largest and most fashionable
this season. The Reds We're represented by
Lloyd Bryce Carroll Bryce. and Rowland Rob
bins. and the Blues by George Fearing. Fair
man Rogers. Samuel Rowland. and J. W.
Brooks. The Blues were too much for the
Reds. and managed to score five games 10 their
opponents one The ponies were very risky
During the play. and while the excitement was
at It's highest pitch. the ponies got all Of a heap
and Mr.. Fearing and his pony were rolled over.
Mr.. Fearing jumped up Just in time for all the
ponies To- cant"r past where he had been thrown.
He isquite sore. although comparatively unin-
Jurcd.
Mr.. Lloyd Bryce met with n still more serious
accident. He was STOPPING down 10 hit tall
while the players were close together. when one
OF the contestants struck him n violent blow on
the forehead He did not stop. but rode
iuriously about, max ing havoc with the ball
and PLAYING remarkably well. the blood mean

and saddle. When the i,Hme was finished his
wound was wished. and Il was found that there
was a terrible gash. Mr.. Bryce went home. his
friends being very anxious Us to results.

No National Police Force Needed.

There are demagogucs in both parties,
and plenty of them unfortunately, but there
are no worse dcmagogucs than the Republic
cans who take advantage OF the present
state OF affairs to abuse the Democratic ma
jorty in Congress for trying to reduce the
Federal army.
1t would he handy TO have n powerful
standing army to call upon in such an cmer-
gency IA this Perhaps it would. 1t would
undoubtedly be convenient TO have Federal
soldier posted at every area gate to keep
out the tramps who Brighten your women
folks and steal your door mats
We do not need n national police now or
at any other time. The militia of every
State is, or ought to be. strong enough to
quell any disturbance within its own bor
ders. If recent events in any State have
shown that its military strength IL made
quate the fact affords an argument for the
increase and reorganization OF the militia Of
that State. II does not afford an argument
for the increase Of the Federal army.
