In strong editorial on the present
baleful situation Of affairs, the Chica
go Tribune thus sensibly prescribe4
the proper remedy:
The first and most important dut,
is to quell mob rule. to stop violence
pillage, and incendiarism at all haz
yards, and to restore law and order,
and place the safety of the general
community in the hands of the duly
constituted authorities, instead of ex.
posing it to the blind, passionate, UNI
, reasoning fury Of the mob, which has
neither discretion nor discrimination.
This done, an equally imperative duty
devOlyes upon the railroad companies.
Theymust cease cutting each others
Threats rs they have been doing for
the past twelve months, and must
make their agreements binding. The
community does not ask of them to
work for remuneration less than the
cost or value of their service. 1t does
not ask them to carry freight or pas
sengers for less than living rates or at
rates that compel them to reduce the
wages of their employees down to the
starving point. The first step for them
to take Is TO raise their charges. not
exhorbitantly, but fairly and reasona-
bly,. and then, restoring the last two
cuts of wages, let them alone, and
await the great crops to handle and
the changes in the fiscal affairs Of the
country that will tend to restore BUSH
ness prosperity and place values on an
improving basis. The reduction Of the
mems poor wages does not benefit
them 50 long rs this insane COMPETE
ton is kept up. Every reduction of
wages is followed by reduction OF
rates. and if wages were lowered to a
cent day rates would be put down 10
zero, with a premium offered to ship
pers. The quickest solution Of the
present problem, "a partial remedy al
least, so far as We can see, Is for the
railroads to make schedule of rate.
on the 'live and let live" basis. They
must charge enough to pay their men
such compensation as to enabl,
them to pay rent and fuel, and feed
and clothe themselves aud their fami
lies. Before this can be done, howey.
er, mob rule and violence must be sup
pressed, whatever may be the cost OF
consequences.

There il no doubt that Railway

and that railroad employees have been
oppressed and deserve sympathy in
all lawful efforts, individual or united

ment and living wages. But the won
der is that in this, "free country
such an intelligent and wide-awake
set of men as are these same employ
es, will, after exercising their mani

wrong as to by force prevent any one
else from occupying their abandoned
positions and to enforce, with the al
tentative of business broken up and
property destroyed, their own re-em-
ployment at wages of their own dicta-
ton. The principle would be the
same did the railway companies com
pei the men to work atany wages they
saw fit to offer. 1t involves rights
dear to all Americans, and most near

The official call for delegate Con-

The official call for delegate Con-
vention of Cedar county Republicans
fs published above. The Convention
will meet August 25th-four weeks
from next Saturday-and will be
charged with the grave duty of nam
ing the party candidates for seven of
the most important county offices.
And while it is true that upon the
way in which this duty is performed
depends the success or failure of the
party, 1t Is also true that the precau-
tons necessary to insure success are
very few and simple, viz: nominate
good men and acceptable men.
1t is well known that the Republi.
lican party In this county has for sew.
cral years past been afflicted with jeal-
ousies, dissentions and splits which
have threatened its very existence
by means of these a handsome MAORI
~ dwindled until two years ago it was
gone entirely on some parts of the
ticket and was but shadow of its for
mer self at the best. Last year, how
ever, q grand rally was made. In the
wake of the great presidential contest
former difficulties were forgotten and
all Republicans united to give an old
fashioned majority for the " hole tick
ct. To-day the all-important matter
Ii to preserve such desirable state of
things. To this end let harmony con-
tinue to prevail at the expense Of any
and all personal preferences or selfish
schemes. Avoid everything which
will reopen any of the old differences,
re-awaken old quarrels, or give place
for possible revenges. Who shall be
the nominees none of us will care, so
that these results may be secured; and
he who would, by any act of this con-
vention, recall, and possibly renew,
past difficulties and divisions, is GER
tainiy no sincere friend of Cedar coun-
ty Republicanism.

Ancient Morals.

In the ancient Gentoo laws OF India,
which show admirable notions OF hon
esty as between the subjects of the laws,
we find prescriptions for dividing the
booty of robbers who had plundered any
contiguous but alien people. "lf any
thieves" says the ordinance, "by the com
mand Of the magistrate, and with his as
sistance, have committed depredations
upon and brought booty from another
procince, the magistrate shall receive a
share of one-sixth of the whole" etc.
In ancient Greece, even at the golden
prime of that splendid narrow culture
which exhibited itself so incomparably in
art, in literature, and in civic virtue, the
moral rules which concern liberty and
life, and the simpler of the moral rules
which concern rights of property, were
defined very perfectly as between the
fellow citizens of each state and between
the kindred states but very lmperfectly
beyond that strict limit of familiar asso-
citation. The stranger, the alien, the en-
shaved captive, the barbarian Of the non.
Hellenic world, were not human fellows
to the Greek; at the most they were only
human creatures of some different va
riety, having that similitude and ap-
preaching somewhat to that relation, but
quite excluded from his cognition of fel-
lowship by all the habits of his feeling
and his thought. According to his per-
ception, they were clearly proper sub
jects of predatory warfare and piracy; he
could kill them, plumber them, enslave
them, with no more compunction OF con-
science than the modern hunter feels in
capturing or killing the game animal Of
the forest, And yet the same conscience
was acting in the Greek that acts in men
to-day; but only with more narrowness
of range in the perceptions upon which ii
acted. ........ .,..
We shall have to pass far beyond the
Greek in history to find much OF moral
change in these respects. The English
man of the Elizabethan age was toler-
ably cultured man, as we'll morally as
otherwise. SO far as his fellow Eng lish-
men were concerned, he had notions of
right conduct that were quite accurately
formed. But he found it hard to
carry many of these notions beyond the
shore bounds OF his little island. The
sea in that time not only the Spanish
Main, but the English Channel, and the
vsry Thames itself-was swarming with
English pirates and buccaneers, who
were the contemporaries of Shakespeare
and Bacon, and Spenser and Coke; who
boasted the best names of the English
gentry in their ranks; who received more
than half countenance from the public
sentiment and public policy of the Eng
lish nation; and who pillaged Spanish,
French, and Flemish traders with serene
impartiality, killing captains and crews
without remorse when it suited their con-
venience to kill. - Popular Science

Faint the voice and weak the lint,

Brighter still doth blossom on,

The gentle, kindly, iadeless heart
