A POLITICAL sYCOPHANr AND
COW ARD

The eyes of the whole country are
turned with eager interest toward the
pending political contest in the state OF
Ohio. The tickets OF both parties are in
field, and the claims of each are being
vigorously pressed upon the attention
of the sovereigns.
Judge West, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, Is said to be alawyer
OF credltable ability, and a gentleman
OF acknowledged personal worth and
integrity. But that he is political das-
tard and trickster, the developments of
the canvass have established beyond
denial.
The. question CT resumption is in
Ohio, as 1t will be, to a greater or less
extent, in all the Fall elections. The
manner in which Judge West deals with
this question betrays a moral and DO.
litical cowardice that units him for the
position to which he - is aspir.
Ing. ''People differ SO widely on
this question:" said the Judge, in
reply to an interviewer, "that cannot,
IN justice to myself, give an opinion. 1t
is my purpose to carefully examine the
matter, before long, and to give the re-
suit OF such examination to the public. {"
In other words, this leader OF the Repub-
lican party Of Ohio, will, first inform
himself OF the DRIFT OF public sentiment,
and then, If he can do SO without i'm
perilling his prospects, he will make
public his conclusions. This is the lam
guage Of moral coward. But not less
cowardly were his dealings with the
labor question.
In answer to direct interrogatory he
said what everybody knows and con.
cedes, that "capltal and labor are indjs.
penssble to each other, and being thus
mutually dependent, shey are alike en-.
titled to the fostering care OF the law.

The Nctherlands-Amcrican. Steam
Navigation Company's steamer Mar ar
rived at the Payonia dock, New Jersey
yesterday morning, making the run be
tween Rotterdam and New \ ork in four
teen days. among the passengers were
twenty-five Sisters OF Charity, who had
emigrated from kOetsicld, Prussia, in
compliance with the edict of the German
Government eXpelling certain religious
orders from the Empire before October OF
the presntyear. There is much sameness
in the lives and conduct Of the Sisters,
and the chief officer OF the steamer could
only say pleasantly that "they neverg gave
any trouble and were good passengers.
They felt as many others who have come
from Prussia before them have felt on ac-
count OF this edict that it is hard to be
cXpartriated: still their experience is no
new thing in political difference. The
Sisters fully realized this point and were
sensibly coming to country not affected
by the ailments OF age, where they could
think and do as they pleased. some OF
them went over to Brookland, but most
OF them were whirled Off to Cleveland
and Coyington, Ohio where they will find
anxious friends awaiting their arrival.
During the next two months quite large
emigration Of the same order is expect

WHAT THE GOVERNMENT ENGINEER IN

The Washington correspondent OF the
Louisville Courir,JoUnaJ under date OF
August 10th, says; "For the first time
since Captain Eads began his work at
the mouth OF the Mississippi a report
has been made by the army engineer in

success OF the city system. Captain
Brown, OF the United States engineers,
the officer in charge, has just forwarded
a full report to the secretary Of war OH

states that more work has been done
there during the past four months than
during any previous four months since
the commencement OF the

over one million six hundred thousand
cubic feet OF mattress work has been put
In position on the jetties and at the head
OF the pass, and about sixty thousand
cubic yards of stone, and that the settle

observable settlement has occurred since
last March. During the past four
months one million five thousand cubic
yards Of deposit has been sc0wed out
from between the ietties and carried out

"The losses to the railroads by the re-

tailed with accuracy, ana nearly all the
figures given are estimates. These
losses include the following items;
Tracks, rolling stock, depots and other

Perishable articles of freight, which

Live stock rendered unfit for market,

Contracts annuIled and claims OF

Other items OF losses and destruction
OF property of all classes aud variety not
enumerated in the above schedule will

Total destruction and loss of
railroad prOpeftv go

railroad property. ....,,..,......s2l,7 80, 100
The railroads have lost 81 100000 by
property destroyed and damages, which
they have been or Will be compelled to
pay on contracts. But beyond these
items, the losses are immense. Business
men in the disturbed states are losers to
the amount OF $4,000, 1000. Taxpayers
in the cities and states which by law
make municipal corporations responsible
tor property destroyed by mob violence,
Will be called upon to pay in taxes So
100000 to Sl2,OO0,OOO. In addition to
this the NelCS has heretofore estimated,
and the estimate is doubtless correct
one in the main, that LOCO, 900 employees
of railroads, manufactures, mines, ETC.,
earning on an average 81 70 day, were
thrown out employment for ten DAYS,
making lossto each man Of $l7 80, or
Sl7,500, 600 as the total to the employees
Tor lost time and wages by the strike.
This makes the entire loss ~ destruction
of property and humiliation OF wages by
the strike foot up the enormous sum OF
S57 100000. This was tho ten DAYS
work OF the strikers and their allies.
The railroad men did not do all this.
The strike originated with them. But
they did not intend it should reach such
vast proportions. The greater part of
the damage was done by tramp. and the
desperate and criminal classes, who
have no sympathy for labor or lis suf-
ienngs, or its inheritance OF sorrow, but
who are mere vagabonds, brigands and
highwaymen, whose hands are against
every man, and who would rob at any
opportunity the laborer of the last cent
he had in his pocket as the wages of
toll.
The destruction of property has made
the country so much poorer, and will
be some part OF this amount.
