THE LAW OF RIOT DAMAGEs.-The fig-
ares we have already published (nearly
s2,0Oo ,000) of the amount OF damages paid
by this city for bui dings and property de-
stroyed in the draft riots are eloquent and
impressive. Taxpayers probably eed no
other reminder Of their duty as the conser-
vators o. law and order at this time. Some
laws are SO lC osely worded that coach
and six could be driven through them, as
it has been said, but the statute OF 1855 has
stood the test of twenty years, and has
every time en- a complete protection for
legitimate claimants under it. 1t is only
necessary that the owners of property iu-
jured shall nave used all reasonable dill
gence to protect it and notified he authori.
lies of any tn eats or attempts made 10 de
stroy 1t, and the liability of the city or
coun for all damages is then tabllshed
and complete. The aggIieved property
holder also has remedies in damages
against any public officer who, after notice
refuses TO perform his duty for the defense
Of the property threatened and against
svery person engaged in The riot. But the
city or county being the richest. as well a.
the most truly responsible of all possible
defendants, is Invariably selected and

THE STRIKERS, If allowed to continue
to keep men from running the trains, will
bring famine upon the cities and poverty
upon the farmers. At this season many OF
the crops are such as will not keep, and II

a total loss. No man can be q good citizen
and sympathize with the mob of strikers
that now threaten to destroy the work OF

THE WAGES AND THE STRIBERs.-The
New York Sun, of Wednesday, says "one
of the apparent eccentricities OF the railroad
strike is the fact that rates of wages which
are perfectly satisfactory tolaborers on one
road, only afford an occasion Tor a strike
upon another. Before the recent reduction,
firemen on the New York Central were
paid from 81 rs TO 81 IS day, while on the
Erie Rail way they were paid from sI.76 to
1896. A reduction of 10 per cent. on the
Erie would bring wages down SO that they
would range from 81 So TO s2.l2-much
more than on the Central before the reduc-
tion and yet against these larger rates the
Erie fremen strike On the Baltimore and
Ohio the old rates were s1.5O and 81 rs a
day, while the reduction leaves them at
$i.35 aud si.57 an average above the old
pay on the New York Central. Why
should wages which is sufficient in New
York, not be sufficient in Baltimore.

From the Philadelphia Times.

The escape of The government OF Penn
sylvauia from Pittsburg last Sunday is one
OF the most marvellous and truly heroic
achievements of modern times. When this
cruel war broke out the Chief Executive
OF the State was several thousand miles
away, and, therefore, he Secretary OF the
Com m on wealth and the AdJutant General
rose up, sent out a lot of kilograms, ard
followed them up by promptly advancing
TO the seat OF war Nothing was heard OF
the government of the Commonwealth for
several days thereafter, there not being
even a telegraphIc order from the Adjutant
General to Indicate his whereabouts. 1t
was even supposed that the government OF
Pennsylvania had been swallowed up by
the mob. Yesterday, however, to the great
relief of every boby, the complete safety OF
the government was reported. On Sunday
It had valliantly Withdrawn from Pitts
burg, where there was some perturbation
to the quiet haunts of Beaver county where
everything was serene and where the gov
ernmeut has many warm friends. From
that point the AdJutant General succeeded
in escaping In safety to Harrisburg, and a
resumption Of telegraphlc orders from his
department may low reasonably be *.
peeted.
