trated by Cossacks and Bashi Ba-
zouks pale into insignificance when
we think of the rapine and plumber,
the terror and turmoil which beat
against our cities and shake the great
centres of labor. We must be par
doned if in these troublous times
which try mems souls we lay aside
for moment all thought of other

to the task of dealing with our own

SATURDAY, JULY %, 1877.
The Strike.

Since our last issue the strike has
extended to nearly all the railroads
in the Middle and Western States,
nut there has been no violence, to
amount to anything serious, outside
of Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Read
ing. There is not not likely to be
any more, from the fact there are too
many law-abiding citizens to allow
the mob spirit to prevail for any
length of time, and many of the rail-
road strikers are assisting the author
tiles in keeping down the riotous
clements.
On the line of the B. & o. road all
is qtiiet. She Matthews Guards, of
Wheeling who have been stationed
at Martinsburg and Keyser, passed
through Oakland on Thursday, on
their way home, the State authori.
ties being satisfied that their pres
ence Was not needed on the road,
There are no indications of the re-
sumptiofi'of freight business fer some
time. The railroad authorities say
that they will not resume business
until the line is open from one end
to the other. The passenger trains
run on schedule time.

services of the country in its present
trouble. That it cannot do here. The
policy it has pursued in laying extor-
tionate rates on local freight, oppress-
ing shippers on its line as well as re-
ducing the pay for increased labor
that ten per cent. dividends might be
paid it's stockholders, has made it the
enemy of the people as well at the
employees. The people and men ask,
why not reduce the dividend on its
stock held by the capitalists as well
as the pay of the employees, who toll
honestly for their bread? Why not
reduce the rate on local 'freights as
well as on through traffic? We may
be answered they cannot do so for
the reason they must compete with
other lines. That is not sufficient
the local freights should not alone
keep up the road, pay its dividends
and the loss on its through business.
The people as well as the employees
have complaints. In this they may
learn why West Virginians will not
go TO the Company's rescue in the
present trouble.

A Grafton correspondent of the

gives good advice to the Railroad

ton, which desire to correct. The
causes of the strike are universally
known. That the strikers have just
cause of complaint at the action of
the Company cannot be denied, and
they have the sympathy of the peO-
pie throughout the entire country.
Their cause has not been such as rep.
resented by kilograms sent from this
place by the Railroad Company's
officials, whose conduct has been such
as to aggravate rather than to allay
the excitement. There has been no
violent outbreak here, neither has
any one been injured. The Company's
property is in as perfect condition
as before the strike and the men are
quiet and orderly, and just heard
an official of the Company say that
the strikers had fifteen of their num-
Der last night guarding the cars and
property of the Company, and also
stated that the men who were ar
rested at the first outbreak said if
they had not been arrested they
would not have allowed the bolt pins
or couplings to- have been taken, or
any damage done whatever. The
men are SOBER. quiet and. orderly,
contenting themselves with prevent

WE extract the following para
graph from very sensible editorial
in the Cumberland Aleganidn, of
Thursday, addressed to the minerss
The destruction of railroad prop
erty would only tend to further de-
lay in coal shipments, and cOnse-
quently injure their prospects for
work. Aside from their sympathy
for their fellOw-laborers upon the
canal and railroad, they know a
speedy resumption of business on
these thoroughfares will sooner bring
bread into their homes, and give
their hands something to do, and
they will not take part in any move
ment calculated to delay a speedy
resumption of labor after the matter
in dispute shall have been adjudicat-
ed between the railroad company
and its employees. Suppose the
rolling-mill were destroyed, the hotel
laid in ashes, the machineshops burnt
down and the railroad torn up for
miles then weeks must elapse after
the strike is over before shipments
could be resumed, and for all this
the miners must necessarily suffer.
And if the canal boats should be
burnt, the canal men would not be
the only sufferers, for the loss would
be felt alike by the miner as by the
waterman.

TALK WITH AN ENGINEER.

TALK WITH AN ENGINEER.
Meeting an engineer who was
jerked from his train yesterday, and
who was on his return home in talk
ing humor, he made the following
remarks in casual conversation:
"Why, what in the HI is the use of
striking now, or attempting to stop
men from working? Isn't half a loaf
better than no loaf? Amt men made
to work? If he can't live well and
dress well let him take what he can
get, and eat and dress within his in
come. Them's my sentiments.
Suppose l had joined the strikers:
why my children would have been
crying for food to-day, or some mer-
chant would be getting busted, and
another man would be in my place
while L would be getting worse off

A special correspondent to the Bal
timore american writing from Oak
land, July 18th, says:
Allusion was made day or two
ago in a letter from Deer Park of the
presence at the hotel there of Messrs.
A. P. German, Michael Bannon and
other members of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Board of Directors,
whose ostensible object was to con-
slider matters appertaining to the in.
terests of the canal. Numbers of
both political parties here, however,
express the belief that the canal was
only secondary object with those
gentlemen, and an active part in
shaping the course of political events
of Garrett county at the ensuing fall
election the primary one. AS here
tofOre stated a Senator and two Del
egates are to be elected from Garrett.
Mr.. VIM. r. Getty was the Senator
in the last Legislature, and it is ex-
pected he will be a candidate for re-
election. He is supposed to be the
favorite candidate.
Some of the Democrats are greatly
dissatisfied with what they consider
an uncalled-for interference in the
affairs Of Garrett county, and claim
that the party here is abundantly
able to take care of itself.
The Republicans, who are compar-
atively strong in the county, are con.
fident that Mr.. Getty will be the
easiest man to beat. Mr.. Veitch, a
young member Of the Bar of Oakland
is also spoken of for the Democratic
nomination for Senator. The Repub-
licans will probably nominate Mr..
Z. C. Tillson, who is thought favor
ably of by both parties.

The New York Herald of Thurs

The New York Herald of Thurs.
day has the following on the strike:
The strikers may have their griev-
ances, but they ought to know that
the cannot hope to right themselves
by stepping outside the pale of the
law and inaugurating an insurrec-
ton in the State. The moment they
so commit themselves they give
their employers an advantage over
them which they would not other
wise possess. If the strike was in
evitable the strikers ought to have
trusted to the difficulty that would
no doubt, have been encountered in
filling their places; to the loss and
inconvenience the road would have
experienced in changing experts for
novices, for friendly negotiations for
a compromise that might have been
satisfactory to both sides. AS it is
they have made a compromise diff
cult, if not impossible and if they
should insanely persist in defying
the law and breaking the peace they
will only add to their future suffer-
ings. 1t IS to be hoped that they will
not pursue any such reckless course
but will peaceably suffer the business
of the road to be resumed. They will
then excite public sympathy that
may yet bring about settlement of
their difficulties, while a wicked
provocation of bloodshed will turn
all men against them.
