ON the 2lst of July three Russian
iron clad torpedo boats steamed up the
Danube under cover of dense fog.
Near Silistria they encountered large
camp of cavalry and infantry and two
Turkish gunboats. A lively 6ght took
place, but the torpedo boats got away
safely. 1t was daring exploit, and
frightened the Turks out Of Turkish
propriety.

ufactured good deal of sympathy
for the lawless movement by citing
the facts of large and extravagant
expenditures of money by railroad
officials Of high grade. They said {:
"Look at the enormously large sal
aries. Look at the costly special
cars that officials of high grade ride
about in. Why are they SO extrava-
giant with the money of public COM
pany while we, who work for the
same company, have our wages re
duced by the officers who get large
salaries and have special cars to
travel in" Such was the common
argument used when the disorders
were at their highest, and many who
had no sympathy with the riotous
conduct were carried away into ex
pressions that encouraged the Com
mune. Others inveighed against dis
elimination in freight rates, and ar
gued that if competition brought the
company to pinching times in fnan-
cial matters, they should not become
competitors, and that instead Of en-
gaging in ruinous competition which
only reduced the resources of corpo-
rations, they should all agree to fixed
rates, graded for local and through
business. Others denounced the
Company for the violation of the Sun
day laws, and declared that if corpo-
rations can override Sunday laws,
the people can over ride the laws for
corporations. Another argument was
that the corporations are getting too
strong, "that they control everything
and everybody"
The five points then by which
many were won over TO encourage
the mob, or remain silent spectators,
we're
First, The large salaries.
Second, Special cars for the officers
Of the road, by which show of au-
thority was made or given.
Third, Too large a discrimination
in favor of through freight as against
local freight.
Fourth, The violation of Sunday
laws.
Fifth, That the corporations are
getting too strong and arbitrary.
These points were all vehemently
argued, SO as to secure the moral sup
port, and the sympathy Of the public.
But when the acts of the rioters be-
came known, the ready discrimina-
ting powers of the public saw that
instead of redress for alleged griev-
ances, the leaders were bent on the
leveling process of the Commune.
Corporations have been created by
acts of Legislatures, and Legislatures
are made by the votes of the people.
Whatever wrongs exist among rail
road people can be settled among
themselves, by their own rules and
and whatever wrongs
are practiced on the public by corpo-
ratiOns can be remedied by legisla-
tive enactment but no wrongs can
be redressed by men who violate the
rights of corporations, the rights of
States and the rights of individuals.
No wrongs can be remedied by the
Commune that compels men to quit
work by force, that burns property,
that breaks down the doors of houses
and subjects the inmates to the mercy
of thieves, that recognizes no power
but that of stand and deliver.
