RECHEDI HANOUM.

The present struggle for supremacy DC
tween the Turks and Russians, recalls to

cd durine the last century when those
two war-like nations were then, as now
in arms against each other, and WHICH,

INJUSTICE AND INCAPACITY.
THE TwosGREAT LESSONS TAUGHT
BY THE PENNSYLVANIA
RIOTS.
Pittsburg Post.1

l.
Another lesson the events of the
last few days emph asizes, and this
is that a great corporation, pos~
sesscd of boundless wealth and
resources, with its thousands arms
stretching to the remote parts OF
the land corporation that is
omnipotent with Legislatures aud
Cover nors, and tenderly coddled
by the judiciary-cannot, in the
| usefulness Of its power, pursue sys-
tematic injustice and oppression
without experiencing day Of reck-
oning. The striking fact OF tho
late riots-iudeed it is fact that
people at a distance will hardly be
able to appreciate-was the abso'
lute indifference of nineteen-twen-
tieths of our citizens to the initial
blows aimed at the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. 1t took q
decade and more of injustice end
wrong to every business man Of
Pittsburg to briog about this con-
dition Of public sentiment. we
grieve to say it, but under no 9TH
er circumstances could the moi
d have worked out such q terrible
result.
Another lesson, and we close to'
the present, is the development taf
riots have made of the stupidity
incapacity recklessness, and in fac
imbecility, Of the State govern ":
ment. The machinery ola Mex
can State could not have don
IS worse, and might have done better
es @ It blundered by aggravating d!s
oa "r plays of bayonet power. when To

Of Of rapidity of action was tho srea
nd REQUISITE, it took itself out OF s'st

hat hat thing as a State government
us sss Pennsylvania. In its earliest G
,ed forts it was q sort Of a doubI
nd headed concern, with attachment
to and in its latter it had no head

,atr seems to have lost his head, a
rem ,ho+ little brains there IS IN
