Who Pays?

Allegheny county, Pa, is soon to
be brought into court to show cause why
it should not pay little debt OF $4,000
600, puttingi it in round figures, on account
of the damage done by the Pittsburg mob,
which burned the cars aud other property
of the railroads aud their patrons. The
Pennsylvania railroad advertises that its
attorneys will prosecute, free of all charge,
the claims Of all parties who lost goods, and
the law is so plain that there is little
doubt that the court will allow the bill.
The assessed value Of the property in Allie
gheny county is $345, 100000, and it is ex-
pected that the tax rate will have to be
raised about g 10 of mill to meet the
debt, which shows that the people will
have to pay very dearly for their neglect
to guard against any such outbreaks.

Adjustment.

The Chicago Times advises other rail.
roads to initiate the plan the Michigan
Central road has adopted in adjusting the
wages question with their men. The new
schedule on this road is graded upon scale
furnished by the employers, and, instead
of cutting wages down, produces an aver
age increase of six per cent. An excellent
feature of the arrangement is that the
compensation Of engineers is fixed upon a
basis which recognizes experience and fdel-
ity, a percentage Of increase being provi-
ded for those who are retained continuously
in the company's service. A premium Is
thus offered for intelligence, skill, sobriety,
and steadiness, and strikes are rendered q
little more odious and considerably less
profitable. The amicable adjustment, sat
isfactory alike to managers and men, re-
veals the only permanent solution of the
strike problem.
