A Governor Troubled by His Own
prnoadontS

Governor Williams, of Indiana,
has requested the President to-
extend Federal aid in suppreSsing
violence in that State. This demand
was not made in the formal manner
required by law, and cannot of course
be complied with. Governor Will
Jams, instead of notifying the Presi-
dent of the existence of an insurrec-
ton in Indiana, which he is unable
to suppress with the State forces,
simply requested the Secretary of
War to have United States troops
sent to Indiana subject to his orders.
The President can send troops to In
diana, but in the absence of a formal
demand for Federal assistance by
the Governor, they can only be used
to protect Government property and
enforce the orders of the United
States Courts. If Governor Williams
will make such a demand, the re-
quired assistance will be promptly
furnished.
When in Congress Williams in
variably opposed the use of the Fed
eral troops to suppress violence in
the State, even when legally called
for, and his demand now for their
o. in Indiana, and the manner
Z attempted to obtain
g considerable amuse-5
me-. Governor Williams must face
the music, acknowledge his inability
to quell disorder in his own State,
and make square demand for Fed
eral aid before he can obtain it.

Although the great railroad strike
is practically ended, the startling
symptoms of social disorder for
whose manifestations the strike FIJI =
nished a convenient preteXt are BY
no means gone or cured. 1t will be
a grave mistake if instead of seeking
to cure the disease we permit it to
strike in, waiting its opportunity
only to break out with more violence
than ever. Political economy and
sociology have here problem which
will tax their combined powers to
their full extent. False ideas of COM
munism must be eradicated, the idle
given work and the starving bread.

The Loss BY Strikes.

The loss by strikes and obstruction
to business for five days on the five
trunk lines Of railway, including de-
struction Of property of the Balti-
more and Ohio and Pennsylvania
Railroads, is estimated at $26, $50, 600!
The New York Journal Of Commerce
reaches the result in this wise: Ia
king as basis the cost to the rail-
roads resulting from the suspension of
traffic, an average of $4,000 per day
to each of the five makes the total of
100000: add $4,000 as low calcu.
latiOn for losses by interruption of
other roads, and the total is S25O, 900
per day, or 81, $50, 900 for the five days
suspension. The losses sustained by
the Pennsylvania at Pittsburg and
on the line between that city and
Harrisburg are calculated at $40, 600
900. Half that amount would scarce
~ cover the cost of property destroy
ell on the Baltimore and Ohio, and it
is likely that S10,000,00O would APP
proXimate the losses of railroad prop
erty other than those which have
been enumerated. This makes a to-
tai of S26, $50, 200. The losses sus.
tanned by the community at large
are almost incalcuable, embracing
the destruction of perishabIe freight
and live stock, the detention of pas
sengers. the support of militia and
special officers summoned to keep
the peace, inconvenience attending
tardy mails, increased cost of living
consequent upon the advance in pri-
ces of provisions, augmented taxa
ton, and perhaps the bankruptcy Of
of corporations which might other
Wiss have been averted.

DEPARTURE OF loops FOR MALTA.
LONDON, July 28.-The embarka-
ton at Portsmouth of troops for
Malta by the troop.ship Crocodile
yesterday evoked good deal of en-
thusiasm and was in marked con-
trast with the departure of the Eu-
pirates the preceding day, which
passed almost unnoticed, The papers
remark that a call of three cheers for
the Turks uttered by some on the
wharf was responded to with great
spirit from the departing troop-ship.
Some person unknown also took
aboard a large number of violent
anti-Russian pamphlets and gave
them to the sergents for distribution
amongst the troops.

A cotempOary suggests, and there
is evident pertinence in the sugges-
ton, that it would be good idea for
the women to claim the right to be
heard on the labor question. Itseems
not only strange, but hardly in har-
mony with the manliness of the Am
erican character, that never word
has been raised for the tens of thOus-
ands of women who work precisely
for what they can get, and who,
whatever they get, have been almost
as silent as the grave in regard to
their depriyations and their suffer
ings. When Hood wrote his famous
"Song of the Shirt it thrilled two
continents with its pathos and its
truthfulness but that was purely
sentimental the hand of man has
never been raised to defend woman
from the expressions of her employ

Paying the Piper at Pittsburgh.

]
Already the interesting question
as to "Who is to pay the piper ?''
has been asked in a legal way. Yes
terday Major A. NJ. Brown enterc d
proceedings in behalf of Mr. Smith,
paWnbroker, against the city for Sc,
600. Mr.. Smiths establishment was
cleaned out by the rioters on Satur-
day evening, and he wants to be paid
for it. The law in such cases is thus
explained by Major Brown: The
county is liable for all damages re-
sulting from acts of mob violence,
and that for all claims for damages
awarded by the courts must come
out Of the county treasury.
The railroad company is generally
supposed to be liable for the loss sus-
tanned by shippers from the fact that,
being cOmman carriers, they are in
surers; but it seems that q provision
exists in the law which says that
"actS of God and enemies of the
State make their liability as insurers
void," and the shippers can come
on the county for every dollars
worth Of freight destroyed by the
rioters. The railroad companies can
also collect from the county every
dollar OF their loss if they are 50 dis
posed, but it remains question as
whether they will resort to such
measures as it would in the end inev-
itably react against them.
These damages will be collected
just as all other debts against the
county. \ mandamus will be issued
by the court on the county treasurer
and if no funds are available from
which to pay the debt, then the coun-
ty commissioners will be compelled
tn levy special tax, just as was done
some years ago in regard to the rail-
road Indebtedness Of the county.

President Hayes in the pending
emergency gets a cheering word of
sympathy and encouragement from
the Richmond (Virginia) Enquirer
which, after saying that it has thus
far opposed his Administration con-
tinues:
1--WE know that one part of the
body polite cannot be thrifty while
the other is torn by such terrible dis
sessions. The need of our country
at this time is complete rest, and
that peaceful quiet we must and will
have, ''if we haye to fight for it.''
Let the President issue his call and
promptly the gray will stand Shout
der to shoulder with the blue, an
impenetrable bulwark against which
mob violence and communism will
dash in vain. When strike takes
on the proportions of communism,
then it is that the order loving ele-
ment North and South unite in a
common cause, declaring that the
law of the statute books and the law
Of humanity must and shall be res
pected."

INNOCENT NICTIMS.-The Rev.
DR.. Woolsey, Of Yale College, used
to speak of 'the geometrical ratio of
sin" to describe the way in which
sin and crime once fairly under way
reproduce their fruits. The strike is
verifying the aphOrism, and one of
the ways in which it is dong so is
by the proceedings of the rioters in
intimidating the workmen in other
callings than their own. This is a
communistic step in labor rebellion
a good way beyond the ordinary CO.
ercive outrageS Of strikers, and only
impresses the more profoundly the
need of taking the rioter by the throat
at the outset.

Why the South is at Peace.

Weare glad to see the South kept
almost entirely free from this cOfiict,
which is destroying business in the
North. Deploring such occurrences
anywhere, we may feel deeply graft
fed that we are comparatively free
from disorder, crime and violence.
We must suffer to some extent, but
there are many reasons why we
are not in condition to be seriously
affected. The hard school through
which we have passed has taught the
South economy and self-reliance.
That is the great lesson, and we re-
sisted it as long as possible. The
Southern people are nearer out OF

A Fable for Strikers.

once at loggerheads with their Sen
ate, and had moved out Of Rome on
a strike, Menerius Agripa, ian elo-
Quent man and a favOrite with the
people, because he derived his origin
from Them" went out to their camp
and related to them Il fable, which
we recommend to the strikers and
the working men generally justnow.

the parts of the human body did not

belly, remaining quiet in the centrl,
did nothing but enjoy the pleasures
afforded il. They conspired accor-
dinghy that the hands should no con-
vey food to the mouth, nor the mouth
receive it when presented, nor the
teeth chew it. But while they eX-
pected thus to subdue the belly by
famine. the members themselves and
the entire body were reduced to the
last degree OfemaciatiOn. Thence it
became apparent to them by a dis
agreeable experience that the belly
did no more receive nOuriShment
than supply it, sending to all parts of
the body and to all the members the
blood by which we live and possess
vigor."
1t is an ancient fable, but it applies
just as well in these days. The strik-
ers now, as in the old times, COM
plain that the belly enjoys undue
privileges, but when they attempt to
isolate it they see that famine over
takes the members, and that whole

the only possible course by which

A Word for the Military.

We have no sympathy with the
sentiment which expresses regret
that the military at several points
should have fired at rioters who were
assailing them with miSsels. They
represented law and order; they
were performing difficult and most
unpleasant duty; the man who
struck at them a murderous blow
was an enemy of society and the pub
lie peace, and he deserved 20 be shot
down like dog. That is the COM
mon sense of the matter without the
poetry. If innocent people have been
hurt, they have suffered from their
own folly. But a man who stands
amid crowd of rioters as an idle
spectator is not wholly innocent. He
has no right to occupy such a posi-
ton. BY his presence he swells the
tumult, he gives to a certain extent
aid and comfort to the law breakers
and he shares voluntarily the risks
that they run. There is no possibil-
ity that such distinctions shall be
made and none ought to be made

taken on the side of law, order and

variety of views regarding the rela-

the fact that these questions are to be

SOUTHERN CROP PROSPECTS.-In
an editorial on the crop prospects in
Alabama the Montgomery Adver-
tiser says the wheat crop is the largest
and best ever raised in that State, af-
fording an abundance for home con-
sumption and some tosell. The corn
crop is a fine one, and entirely suffi-
cient for home use. The oats crop is
also large enough to render unneces-
sary the purchase of any outside OF
the State, whilst the cotton crop,
though a little backward, is doing
finely now, and promises a large
yield should no disaster overtake it.
With their State government in hon.
est and competent hands and full
crops Of the ngproducts the peo-
pie of Alabama certainly have a
prospect of good times before them.
This is picture in great part of the
crops this year in the South gener-
ally.
