objections. When two men or two sets OF
men cannot agree about the terms on which
one set shall labor for the other the strike is
the test. If the Baltimore and Ohio Com
pany says it will reduce wages, and if the
train men say they will not work at reduc-
ton, then comes a deadlock. The train
men strike work; the company Immediately
tries to hire other men. If it succeeds,
that is an evidence that the rate OF
wages it proposes is not really below the
market rate. If it chooses to hire incompe-
tent men, that is at its own risk. The pub
lie must wait to see the struggle end but it
has in the meantime the right, and it is its
most solemn duty, to demand fair play; to
insist that no violence shall be tolerated
that as the railroad company would not be
allowed to compel its train men to work for
the reduced wages, so the strikers shall not
be allowed to coerce other men not to work for
these wages We trust the authorities will
do their duty in West Virginia. To argue
with a mob is useless and dangerous 1t
must be put down with q stern hand for 1t
strikes at all mems rights. s.saG

Tweed Rises to Explain.

The "Boss" makes an interesting contri-
button this morning to the recent litera-
ture concerning his -case,. in the form of
a reply to the somewhat sensational letters
of Carolan O'Brien Bryant. 1t is a long
time since we have heard directly
from the illustrious prisoner in Lud-
low Street Jail, and his communication to-
''the public" this morning will command
all the attention he could desire. There is
wide difference of opinion between Tweed
and Bryant as to every point in the
controversy. In fact Tweed says that
Bryant's letters are all romance that
he knows next to nothing about his
affairs that he never had his confidence
and that his word is not to be believed He
declares that Bryant has never seen his
confession; in word, that all which
has appeared over the alliterative name
of his assailant is simply malicious false
hood All this is not complimentary to
O'Brien Bryant. There is one point, how
ever, in which they both agree--namely,
the singular purity of Mr.. Charles O'Conor.
Tweed has, il possible higher opinion Of
the virtue and integrity Of Mr.. O'Conor
than Bryant. To each OF them he is a
great and good man. 1t may be that before
the wordy war comes to an end the distin-
cuished lawyer will find occasion to express
his opinion Of both Of them, which
will make the whole thing still more
interesting. 1t is probably expecting too
much of Bryant to be silent under the lash
ing the "Boss'' administers to him this
morning, so that it is fair to assume
we have only the first chapters of long
story. The Boss, as he says himself, has
been silent for long time. Now that
he has found the use Of his pen it is
to be hoped he will not lay it down again.
'sThe public" is exceedingly anxious to hear
from him. Lot him manage his own case
and throw his lawyers oyeEbeard., nrl They
havo done very little for him thus far except
get him into trouble. Let him speak out
and make clean breast OF it,

win Courtney oha,isng. riley ,

Wherever the blame of the alleged
poisoning of Courtney may belong he has
not left matters with Riley in good shape.
While scouting the idea that the latter was
connected with the dastardly work, and
even breaking out in praise of his conduct
generally, he is yet reported rs saying that
he will never agree to row him again except
for money. AS o match for money would put
both men over the line and into the profess
sional field, and is one which Riley. in COM
mon with most men, naturally prefers not
to take, it looks as if the two are destined
never again to meet unless Courtney changes
his mind. Instead of rejecting credit
on Courtney an adherence to this decla-
ration will encourage the opinion that

he has concluded to avoid q meeting,
and will so work him serious harm, which
cannot fail to be increased if proof can be
brought that the barring out of Riley at any
time or the failure Of the former to meet
him single-handed last summer at Sara
toga were due to questionable motives.
For the sake of his own good
name he should, at whatever personal
inconvenience, at once arrange meeting.
This course will clear away all doubt and
put the men directly on their respective
merits, and, even If beaten, Courtney will
stand before the world in q creditable
light He is reported as i'll able to con-
ceal his chagrin at the Indifferent amount
of gate money realized, as well as to have
bet heavily on the result. Let it be once
thought that these are the real incentives to
amateur rowing, and its attractiveness as o
field for manly rivalry between gentlemen is
at an end. The difference between the anna
teur and professional will exist but in name,
and the public will quickly conclude that
If that difference lies simply in putting up
ones money on ones self secretly instead of
publicly it is in reality no difference at
all. On the other hand the true spirit of the
amateur could not be better exemplified
than by Rileys own words to his antagonist
after the affair was over:-"I will not row
you for money, Courtney, but I'll row you
for that piece of ribbon" pointing to bit
of ribbon on the floor. 70 one who feels
that way the honor and glory of the contest
mean something. and are all the reward
which any one deserving the name of anna
teur should ever strive after.

Abdul Kerim, the commander of the
Turkish Balkan army, is no longer in po-
sition to carry out that famous plan which
he had conceivedand matured and which he
held in readiness for the humiliation, at
the right moment, Of the invading Rus
SLAMS. He was little slow about it. He
did not want to annihilate the Russians too
soon. He wanted to have some fun with
them first. But the people in, Constantine
pie naturally did not feel, #ha same 5con6-
dence in Abdul Kerim's plan that he felt
himself, and were consequently impatient.
They wanted that plan, or any plan, tried
at once, and if it failed there might still be
time for the trial of some other. Hence they
urged him with an impotence astonishing
in the Ottoman composition. But he did
not sympathize with this uneasiness. He
was confident, placid, self-possessed, and
he laughed in his sleeve as the Russians
moved toward Constantinople--tha is,
moved into the several traps of his plan.
He was sure he had them, and suddenly
his official head, with the plan in it, is in the
basket.
His successor, Mehemet Ali, is appointed,
it is to be supposed, first for his pre-
sumed capacity and next because it
is known that he will act on the
principles that have been urged upon
Abdul Kerim-that is, that he will force the
Russians to immediate combat wherever he
can find them, and either drive them into
the Danube or simplify future operations
by rendering it impossible for him to trouble
their further advance One of the first
duties imposed on the new commander is
to defend the Jamboi Railroad. near Jeni
Saghra, from the Russians, who are advanc-
ing in force to cut it. All he can hope to
accomplish in this effort will be to
check the Russian advance, as he evidently
has not sufficient force to drive them back
over the Balkans. The Cars troops have
now occupied Loftscha south of Plevna
Our map showing the military situation,
published elsewhere this morning, ac-
curately illustrates the distribution Of the
contending forces in Bulgaria and south Of
the Balkans.
The attempt to head off the Russians
south of the Balkans waits for the arrival
of Suleiman Pacha, who is coming by
sea from Albania with forty battalions
and does not get the daily papers
every morning to indicate the need for
haste If he comes up as soon as he is ex-
pected he must wait for the cooperation Of
the Shuma army till its new commander
reaches it, and it may be week or two be-
fore full concert Of action is established be-
tween the several forces. What may not the
Russians do in that timer If he gives battle
to the Russians force of the Balkans he,will
find that it is distinct from the force that has
become dangerous on TIN road to Adrianopie;
and he may next be heard from at varna,
calling for transportation in the hope Of put
ting his army, by way of the sea, in front of
q victorious enemy.
