The Fury Snent.

The fool-fury of the mob is nearly spent.
In few localities, where men are extra
ordinarily ignorant or evil-disposed, the
destruction of life and property goes on; but
in general the great strike is at an end, or at
least an end has come to its violent manl-
festations. The criminal classes, who hast
ened to avail themselves of the large oppor-
tunities for plunder, have been put down by
force, and the well-meaning portions of the
community, at first ready to lend willing
ear to the complaints of the laborers, have
become SO alarmed at the ruin wrought, at
the transformation of movement ostenslbly
in the interests of labor into an insurrection
evidently in the interests of idleness and
crime, that they have turned upon the men
for whom their sympathies were in the be-
ginning excited and visit upon them the same
condemnation which society passes upon
their criminal allies. This is unfortunate for
the strikers, but they have made the mis-
fortune unavoidable. When they accepted
the assistance of the incendary and the thief
they forfeited the sympathy of law-abidng
men, and obliterated for the time the line
between the habitual criminal and the occa-
sional wrong.doer. They arrayed themselves
against society, and society, for Its protec-
tiop, has had to crush them.
The result of the strike is this: Much
property has been destroyed, many lives have
been lost, and no man is benefited whit.
The strikers have diminished in large measure
that great fund from which their wages have
been drawn. The obstruction of transporta-
tion has deprived the railway companies OF
considerable sums of money which otherwise
would DOW be in their Golfers, the violence Of
the rioters has destroyed no inconsiderable
portion of railway capital; so that if the cor
porations could i'll afford to pay higher wages
a week ago, they certainly cannot afford to
pay them now, for they are many millions of
dollars poorer than they were seven days
since. Thus the workman has only sue
ceeded in diminishing his opportunities for
employment at fair compensation.

THEsbest answer that could be made to the
complaints that have been urged against the
Interference of the federal government in
State affairs is found in the service which the
federal troopsshave rendered in the preserva-
ton of order in West Virginia. The Govern
or of the State, who applied for the troops is
aDemocrat,aaand the President of the Balti-
more & Ohio, who added his solicitation to the
formal Erequisition, is sympathizer in the
extreme Southern feeling. But these men
who havesbeen among the revilers of the fed
eral government are IAcompelled to acknowl-
edge its benefcent power. When the Gov
ernor of State confesses that the whole
military force at his command amounts to but
four companies of militia, it is not time to
talk of disbanding the United States army by
refusing appropriations. The danger to public
liberty from our littleiarmy is altogether i'm
aginary. 1t is not large. enough to keep the
Indians in subsection and to preserve the
internal peace of the country.

A vilainous attempt was made to throw the
night freight train from the track at Waterville
week ago yesterday. On the Marston curve,
about mile and a half west of Watervlle sta

covered on the track, aud the distance being
short, the hands could not prevent a collision.
All hands did what they could and then stood
ready to jump, but fortunately there was no
necessity, as no wheel left the iron and no se.
rious damage was done,

THE suicide of a certain "Lord' Munster,
after the Southern Hotel fire, at st. Louis,
will be remembered. A sstory now comes
that his ghostl haunts the place. 1t is told
that one of the rollicking friends of Munster,
sitting lately in the room where the deceased
met his death, was startled sby the entrance
of Gman. kHeslookedI up and recognized
Munster, clad as when he .died. The ghost
looked at MIN, appeared defended that he did
not Espeak, and passed out as quietly as he
had entered.

OF course not single dollar of the four or
five millions of property destroyed in Pitts
burg will come out of the pockets of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The tax
payers will have that burden to bear. The
rioters must themselves contribute their
share. Rent-payers must contribute theirs,
high taxes make high rents. So far as it was
public demonstration, just so far were the
incendiaries burning up their own property.

The Electric Lirhr.

SpTing1Isld Republican, August 1S.-The electric
candle, q German invention now in everyday use
N various places on the continent, and described
several months ago in the Republican, has lately
made Its way into England, where successful eI-
periments with It have ELECTED much enthusiasm
from economists and scientific people Electricity
generated By q sleam engine is the basis OF the
light, which is OF exceeding brilliGncy. Not only
does this new light, which Is described as a peou-
iary white-whiIe Hight, produce power Of illumi-
nation which is to that Of candle 400 to l, bot
It brings out cOlOrs IN the greatest perfection. An
other singular point Is the absence OF heat given
out by the light, feature which will come direct
Iy home 10 all those who are condemned to use
gas In their houses, and wherever else men con-
gregste. We told that upon the globe Of an
electric candle equal 10 100 candles, the hand may
be placed. We ali know what the result would bs
OF putting the hand upon a globe surrounding
gas light OF 400 candlea. The objection We notice
is, that one OF theee electric candles burns out In
an hour, and the question would be how to sub
stitute fresh candles but tho probability ls-the
difficulty IL 30 tridng-it will be immediately
overcome. This new electric light appears to Be
the starting point Of sn incaleuiabe revolution in
the usual methods Of lighting, for that everybody
will be glad to substitute electricity for gas can
not be doubted. But there is no reason why it
should do the gae companies any harm, Tor, enor-
mOusly wealthy as they are, they have only got 70
take mp the JabloohkoR candle, and the public, IN
consideration OF their doing SO, will forgive them
all the EufferingB they have Indicted.
