The Great Strike Ended.

The great strike that swept over the
country with the suddenness of an
electrical flash, paralyzing the author
ities aud blocking trade and commerce,
has ended. The strikers are the prin-
ciral losers; next the property holders
of cities, and lastly the railroads. We
NAV not have too much freedom, as a
people, but the strike demonstrated
that we are governed TOO little. The
strike demonstrated another disagree
able thing, viz: that even in free
America there is spirit of commun-
ism, spirit that must be put snmma-
rily down at all hazards. There i.
but one other thing made plain: The
day is coming, and that near at hand
when the railroads Of the country
will have TO be run on legitimate
business basis, and their earnings reg
ulated by genuine paid-up stock, and
that corporations must be subject &c
laws of the people, and not dictatorS
Of what law shall be.

resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed:
WHEREAS, The farmers OF this

grasshoppers' eggs, and the present
abundant harvest testifies that our
benilcent Creator makes use of GER

conversation he handed US a scrap
book in which we iind number Of
exhaustive financial articles from his
pen. In an article to Springfield
paper, under date OF February l, 1865,
after canvassing the whole National

ing contraction is not necessary TO re-

THE HISTORIC GLORY OF THE ARKANSAS
VALLEY.
Crooked Back Oxen, Wild Hcrsss and Coronado

Captain Henry King, who accom-
panied the late editorial excursion to
the Rocky Mountains, was requested
by the fraternity TO write up the trip.
He has done so. ignoring all details,
excepting ID. r. Anihony's nose, he
spreads himself in four columns of
the Commonwealth in way that is no
less historical because enchanting.
Coming in view of our great valley he
remarks:
With all its freshness, however, aud
its monotony of leyelness and quiet
ness, the valley of the Arkansas is in
reality region of the most interest
ing historical memories. In point of
fact, its occupation aniedates the land
ing at Plymouth Rock, for the Span
iards under Coronado penetrated it
from Mexico as early as the spring Of
leftover three-fourths of century
before the coming of the pilgrims-re
porting il 10 be land of "mighty
plains aud sandy heaths. smooth and
wearlsome and bare OF wood" aud

own time. Speaking OF the country,
he said, cit appears to me to be only
possible to introduce limited popu-
lation." This, however, he consid-
cred "a great advantage to the United
States" inasmuch as it would ''re-
strict our population to some certain
limits. aud thereby ensure the contin-

Ths Great Strike.

To our Patrons:
The rumors upon our streets this
morning have been so startling that
we felt constrained, TO the end that all
undue excitement might be allayed, tc
send for q special giving the situation
of affairs up to this hour, which We
herewith present to our readers:
Special to the Eagle
TOPEKA, July 27-l p. NJ.
Private dispatches received here
yesterday morning exaggerate tho
trouble in Chicago. Regular press
dispatches show that mass of rioters
near the corner of Halstead and Six
teenth streets were dispersed by po,
lice and United States soldiers mum.
Der of times during the day. 1t is not
believed that over a dozen persons
were killed, though large number
were undoubtedly wounded. Several
attempts were made 10 fire the city
but were discovered and put ont. The
last dispatch from there is midnight
The situation at this hour is briefly
this:
The police have retired to a we'll
earned rest, but the Second regiment
in the Ualstead street yiaduct, where
they intend to remain all night. The
mob appears to be dispersed and few
are in sight, but it is not unlikely that
they will appear before morning and
renew the fight.
In st. Louis there was great excite
ment all day. Business houses closed;
citizens armed and drilling; the mob
numerous and ranging around the
streets, but were kept in control by
the police so that little damage was
done and no collisions.
The latest dispatch says several
mobs of strikers and bummers
continue their hellish W ork to-day and
about thrce-fourths of the manufac-
turing establishments of the city are
closed. This suspension is not wholly
due to the demands of the strikers.
however, as considerable number OF
mills aud factories have closed on ac-
count of the high priee7of coal. which
now commands fifty cents per bushel.
A dozen or moro companies AT the ar
mory are drilling there and will be
armed tomorrow. The sense of Sc
curity is so much increased that alarm
has almost entirely subsidized.
All trains on the New York Central
and New York & Erie are running.
All over the country the feeling is
that the worst is passed. All roads
cut Of Chicago are allowed to run one
train a day.
The strikers on the Pennsylvania
railroads have posted notice at the
Allegheny depot stating that one train
will be allowed TO run each way daily
over the Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne q Chi
cago railroad. The Cleveland & Pitts
burgh and Pittsburgh & Erie railroad
superiniendents will be allowed to
run other passenger trains if they can
obtain men to run them. IL is signed
by the strikers.
AT Scranton and other places IN
Pennsylvania the coal miners are out
work caused by the railroad strike and
large sections are nearly out of food.
Ii is said that there arc 200,000 people
in that region with not twenty barrels
of -four in the district.
The difficulty on the Eniporla and
Newton divisions of the Santa Fe road
has been arranged and all trains are
running.
Iron for the Eldorado branch has
gone forward and it will be completed
in time-next Tuesday.

Tho News in Europe.
NEW YORK hERALb BUREAU,

LONDON, July 20, 1877.
Ry Gable to the Inter-Ocean.
Extraordinary anxiety Is felt III all
circles concerning the disturbances in
the United States. The suddenness,
rapidly, and general extent Of the
strikes are regarded as surprising and
unexampled. The strikes have made
deep and more painful impression i'll
England than any event since the out
break of the war of secession in 1861.
AS yet neither the English people or
newspapers have been able to form
any clear theory or realization as to
the causes of the outbreak. The pub
lie find in the London newspapers
only cold statements, such as the ioca-
ton of each riot, thenumber of people
killed, and the value of the property
destroyed. The newspapers have gen
orally expressed the hope that the
United States Government would
succeed in suppressing the insurrec-
ton.
The Daily Telegraph, however,
thinks that the corruption and mis-
management of the railway managers
have given to the employees both the
temptation and the opportunity.
Whatever is the result of the Govern
ment's interference, the effect of the
strike must be calamitous to Ameri-
can credit abroad.
a very painful impression is pro-
duced here by the reported action of
Governor Williams, of Indiana, in de-
cIaring that he would not Interfere be-
tween the strikers and the railway
companies. 1t is the preston, how
ever, among the more reasonable por
ton of the English people, that Gov
ernor Williams remarks were lncor-
rectly cabled to this country.
The thousands of holders of Ameri-
can railroad securities IN England
cannot be made to believe that the
Governor of State in the Union
would not interfere to protect the
rights of property.
The Herdld'S correspondent at Ber-
lin telegraphs that intense interest
prevails in the German capital regard
ing the great American railroad strike.
Most of the papers have daily leaders
on the subject. The socialist leaders
are loud in their eulogies of The mar
tyred Molly Maguires, aad to show
their sympathy for the strikers have
opened subscriptions in their favor.
Not much money is raised. however.
