The Show Business and the
Strike.

"The present unsettled condition OF the
railroads throughout the country" says
the Rochester ErpreSS, "causes a good deal
OF perplexity and expense to showmen
who travel by rail. The railroad con.
tracts are usually made a month or two,
and sometimes even longer, in advance
Of the time for travelling over the line OF
the road the bills are shipped from the
printers for weeks in advance OF the time
for exhibition, while everything that
comes within the province Of the adyer-
Using and billing departments, arc in the
meantime rendered tributary to the thor
ough systematic carrying out Of the pro.
gramme. OF course, it was impossible
for the managers Of these travelling exhi-
billions to foresee the great strike
which has demoralized the calcula.
tions Of railroad Superintendent, as we'll
as every other enterprise, for all suffer
alike by the interruption to travel and
the transportation OF freight. There are
no less than dozen shows travelling in
the East, West, or Southwest by rail
during the present season. Among the
largest OF these are Barnum's, the Great
London, and Adam Forepaugh's. There
are many minor affairs which would
work no harm to the public il they were
forever stricken out Of existence. Bar.
NUNS and Forepaugh's arc travelling ut
present in the West. According 10 the
programme Of the Great London, this
show was 10 have made It's first stand on
the New York Central road tomorrow,
friday, coming from the New England
States via the Boston & Albany road.
Whether it will be able under the present
excitement to make its connections and
give public exhibitions or not is, or was
u few days since, when W. W. Durand,
one Of the advance agents, was in the city,
somewhat predetermined. According to
the original plan, this city wonld have
been billed before this time, and the an
nounCements made in the public press,
had not the strike taken place"

BELLAIRE LocALs.-Our City Fathers
met last Tuesday evening. An agreement
between the city OF Bellaire, the trustees
OF the Bellaire IL Southwestern Railroad
Company, Sullivan, Barnard & Cowen,
and the commissioners for locating the
Tobacco Warehouse, was read, wherein
the city agreed to vacate that part Of
Water street lying between the north
line Of Butes' Mill and the Central Ohio
railroad grounds, and so much Of 10Th
street rs might be needed for the location
Of the Warehouse.
There is no material change in railroad
matters at this point. The clerks EN-.
ployed at the B. & 0. railroad depot re.
ceiyed orders 10 report for duty yester-
day morning.
G, W. Ballean & Co., bankers, at New
York city and Boston, proposed to buy
the Bellaire Water Works bonds, at their
market value, the LIST Of September next,
charging one per cent as commission.
The bonds are TO bear per cent interest,
payable semi.annually. The City Coun.
Gil refused TO sell for less than par.

All Wrong.

The champion Of a glorious and success
full reform, like William Lloyd Garrison,
ought not to degenerate into chronic grum'
bier At the complimentary breakfast given
to him in London last week, which was de-
signed simply as tribute to his noble anti
slavery work, he thought it fitting to eulo-
gize Grants policy towards the South, and
to condemn that of Hayes. He doubtless
found il far easier to indulge in wholesale
criticism than he would to have told what
better Hayes could have done under the cir
cumstances, or whether even Grant would
not have pursued the same course in the
same condition of affairs. Under the late
administration one after another of the
Southern states passed over to the democ-
racy until there were left only two where
Republican officers held au unacknowledged
rule by quasi protection of federal troops.
Aud in the closing days Of Grants admins
tration he had refused to take the response.
bility of recognizing one or the other rival
government in Louisiana. President Hayes
simply Withdrew the handful of troops when
Mr. Nichols had become, by the act of the
members of the Legislature the undisputed
Governor. But while Mr.. Garrison has, if
anybody can, earned the right by his mag
nificent service to indulge in even querulous
criticism, his love of entire candor and fair
ness ought to have prompted him to add
that, however much he desired to perpetsate
military rule in the South, nevertheless, up
to the date he spoke, there had been no sort
of disturbance either in Louisiana or South
Carolina to Justify the predictions of him
self and sympathizers.
