The public Is pretty unanimous In the
opinion that such OF the late rioters as were
arrested in the Act of committing acts of
violence should be adequately punished,
and that no mawkish sentimentality should
,ntervene TO check the ord mary course of
law. Leniency on the part of the authori-
ties would be a fatal error. The offenders
need q severe lesson for their ruthless de-
struction of life and property

We may now undertake to count the cost
OF the five days strike which the New York
Journal Of Commerce estimates at so, $50 900
The five railroads concerned probably lost
$1,000 each per day or altogether 500 900
daily; add go, coo as low calculation for los
ses by interruption ofother roads, and the to
TAI Is $50 ooo per day, 81 go 600 for the fl We
days'suspension. The losses sustained by the
Pennsylvania road at Pittsburg and on the
line between that city and Harrisburg are
calculated at SIC, 00oooO Half OF that amount
would scarcely cover the cost OF property
destroyed on the Baltimore and Ohio. and IL
1t likely that $4,000 900 would approximate
the losses OF railroad property other than
those which have been enumerated. This
makes total OF s26 $50 900. There are losses
other than these which might be taken into
account but which 1t would be dificult to
estimate, such as the losses sustained by
various branches OF industry by the stopping
OF communication by railroad.

The Railroad Situation.

The dispatches to- day are generally indica-
tive of the dying out OF the strike manifesto
tions. Nothing has been heard to-day from
the line OF the Baltimore and Ohio road TO
show that the freight trains are yet running
beyond Keyser westward. The strikers at
thai point yesterday reconsidered their con-
sent to go 10 work, and consequently no
trains went beyond Keyser or Cumberland
yesterday; but the Baltimore and Ohio COM
Pany were to send up railroad men from
Baltimore To replace the strikers, and 1t was
expected that the freight trains would
again be set in motion this morning
and sent through to the Ohio river.
AS above stated no dispatches have been re-
ceived announcing the break OF the EN- barge
Al &eyser, and this fact may perhaps indi
cate that there Is q further hitch there In
starting the freight trains. 1t seems that
when summoned to say whether they would
go TO work, or take their pay and leave the
service Of the company, not only the most of
The hremen left, but some thirty engineers
resigned with them. 1t is probable that on
account of the large number of trained en-
pioyes thus severing their connection with
the road, the company, for the time being.
may not have a sufficient number of engi-
neers, nremen and brakesmen qualified for
Inc responsible duty OF running trains
through the mountainous regions And while
supply ing this deficiency the company NAV
naturally hesitate about running trains.

The Investigation OF the charges against
The management of the Indian Bureau still
goes on in secret, the members of the inves.
ugating committee claiming that the inter-
ests of the public service demand that they
shall sit with closed doors. Possibly they
may, but such method OF procedure is I'M
usual and I'M American. Persons charged
with crime are allowed the privilege of hear
1Dg the testimony of their accusers and of
REORGANIZATION, and this method expert
ence mas proved to be fair and Justin fact
no other would be tolerated. The parties
implicated, or alleged to be implicated in
any fraudulent transaction should be allow
ed the same privilege before this Indian
board OF inquiry, TO the end that the state
ments OF witnesses when made may then and
mere % proved or disproved. Under the
Circumstances the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs would be justified in al once demand
ing that the doors OF the board be thrown
open, in order that he may know Just what
The allegations against his bureau are. and
what the character OF the testimony to sus
Tain such accusations Is. This is due not
only to himself as a public officer, but to
every employe or his bureau.

Wei. there Is no reason why the South should
not be accommodated in this regard. a fast

Union that the usual running time between
