President Hinokley to the Peach Grow

Dover, last week, have called out the follow.

their own high and fairly earned reputation

fact OF a reduction of wages at this time
would have afforded the very pretext need.

grave character and too large in amount.

otherwise ! see no reason why they should
not address him directly.

our power to move the peaches to market.

Resolutions" 1t did not require any

We always assume these as matter of
course, and will make no exceptions now.
These duties and responsibilities, however,
cease at the termini of our road. We do
not expect to be asked to send our cars

shipper who is averse to agreeing, Tin ac-

be asked to do this, we must respectfully

AT the peach meeting last week, when
everybody was eXcitod over the riots, some
one introduced resolution recommending
the organization of militia company or
regiment for this State. Fortunately, the
the resolution amounted to nothing. We
say fortunately, for never was ANYTHING
more clearly demonstrated than the use.
lessness of militia, when the authorities
were trying to suppress the mob. They
seemed totally inefficient, and we do not
know OF single place, where the mob was
at all formidable, that the militia was able
to suppress it. 1t took regular soldiers, in
every instance, so far as we know, to put
the rioters to- flight. In PittSburg the
mlltlamen were more frightened at the
mob than the mob was at them, and in
Baltimore one regiment, the jth, could
hardly muster enough of its members to
organize a company, while the other, the
9th, composed mainly of boys, was little
more to the mob than if. it had not been
present Yet the State of Maryland has
to pay large sums annually to keep these
useless organizations together. We hope
Delaware will not have to provide Tor such
an expensive luxury.

iHE STRIKE At AN END.-The cruel war is
over-the war Of the railroad rioters-and
the ten thousand miles of track that's a week
ago was in the hands of a mob is now under
the control of its officers and men. The
authorities that few days ago were issuing
proclamations are now offering rewards,
and the men who disregarded the procla
nations are, many of them, fastened in
prison, where they have plenty Of time to
reflect upon the fact that a wrong to them.
(tancled or real) does not justify them in
becoming robbers, murders and all that.
Riots are always short lived among a lawful
people; none are better convinced of this
fact now than the railroad strikers.
The mob has cost millions of money and
devastated acres Of real estate, but it has
taught us its lesson. 1t has learned the
la6orIng man that he must pay the penalty
Tor all the devastation that has been created
IN his name by the rioters. For instance,
every taxpayer in Pittsburg will have to nav
ahundred per cent. more tax than formerly
to reimburse the railroad company for the
injury the mob created. Every laboring
man who rents house there now will have
TO pay Tor the rioters rascality by higher
rental for the home he enjoys. Stinciness
on thepart of a railroad company does not
justify outlawry on the part of its em.
ployees, and every city that has failed to
enforce the law will be made to paw for its
neglect. The tax of Pittsburg has hereto.
fore been 100000; next year it will be
$l,2OO,OOO, and for many years to come.
And all this for not guarding the rights of
life and property to its citizens and to the
railroad company. The extra 100000
that its citizens will have to pay annually
will go to the railroad company TO pay it
for the injury it sustained.

Congress can give no relief, that the

We believe the presen: condi-

the failure of the financial pol

This distrust Is caused by the Govern
ment having for years discredited thC
money of the country. The money o.
the country ought to be equal to gold
but it ls not, because the Government
holds gold for the boldholders, and
discredits both silver and paper. Thit
policy ought 10 be stopped, and Con
gress can stopi. Silver should be re
