YHF GREAT STRIKE
Movements of the Local
Militia.
The Railroad Strikers Joined by
Mechanics and Mill Men.

The great strike still continues with
but poor prospect for settlement. The
striking rairoaders have been joined by
different mill men and mechanics, and
the strike seems to be spreading like a
contagion.
Plans to Preserve the Peace.
Sick of the terrible devastation of the
day previons, the citizens yesterday took
active measures TO preserve the peace.
Citizens corps we're organized TO protrol
the streets, Committee OF Public SAFETY
was organized to map out and carry on
the work effectively, the actually dis
charged members of the police force were
again called into service by the mayor,
and the local militia became active. The
saloon keepers were compelled to close
business by proclamation Of the mayor
In accordance with the action of the
Council the Mayor issued proclamation
demanding that order be restored, and
calling upon all to quietly continue their
usual avoCations and refrain from con-
gregating and participating in excited as
semblages
Citizens Meeting.
A meeting of citizens was held at the
Chamber of Commerce at half.past ten
o'clock yesterday morning, to arrange
some plans to aid the Mayor and military
authorities in preserving order through
out the city. A committee of public safety
was appointed and issued the following
address.
To The Citizens of PittSburgh'
The Committee of Public Safety, ap.
pointed by meeting of citizens, held at
the Chamber of Commerce July 23d,
deeming that allaying of excitement is
the first step towards restoring order,
would urge upon all citizens disposed to
aid therein, the necessity of pursuing
their usual avocations and keeping all
their employesat work, and would there
fore request that full compliance be ac-
corded to this desire of the committee.
The committee are impressed with the
belief that the police force now being or.
ganized will be able TO arrest and disperse
any riotous assemblages, and that much
of the danger of destruction of property
has passed, and that an entire restoration
of order will be established.
The committee believe that the mass
of industrious workmen of the city are
fully on the side of law and order, and
numbers of the socalled strikers are al.
ready in the ranks of the defenders of
the city, and it is quite probable that any
further demonstration ofriot will proceed
from thieves and similar classes, Of the
population, with whom our working men
have no affiliations and will not be found
among them.
1t is to this end that the committee re.
quest that all classes of business should
be prosecuted as usual and our citizens
refrain from congregating on the streets
in crews, so that the police of the city
may not be confused in their efforts to
arrest rioters. and the military be not re-
strained from prompt ptaction ii necessary,
from fear of injuring the innocent.

SKETCHES Of the great railroad labor
revolution in all quarters of this country,
occupy much space in this issue of the
DEMOCRAT. We only regret our inability
to give more complete history of this
great movement. Never has any labor
movement assumed such proportions in
this country. One important feature al
ready developed is the close and depen-
dent relation between labor and capital,
and that organized labor is power enti-
tied to just regard.
The destruction of property is always
wrong and unjusti6able, and is apt to
take away sympathy where otherwise it
might be extended, and become an i'm
portant element. In the caee of the rail-
road property destroyed at Pittsburgh,
the loss falls upon innocent parties,
namely, the stockholders. The railway
managers, we understand, lose nothing.
This is apt to be the case where property
is riotously given to destruction.
We commend the good sense Of those
railway officials who make haste fol-
peace with their striking workmen. The
better way is just as good as any, and
saves destruction of property and inter
Tuption of business.

REV. BLANK was in Alliance one day
last week. This we presume, is the man
whom the Carroll County Senatorial dele
gates voted for in the late convention,
which 80 deranged things. Att events
he answers the description Reese Price
gives Of him, as he saw him rise up in
the convention, tall and good looking"
Alliance Review.
"Rev. Blank" was quite convenient for
the Hayes leaders at their Senatorial
Convention at Minerva. Several Coates
delegates were induced 10 throw Blank
for several ballots, while others scattered
about on Mong and others, and on the
9TH the majority gave Folger the NOM
ination, contrary to every principle Of
fairness, for it is not denied that Mr..
Coates had carried the district decidedly.
The trouble with Coates was that he,
like Blaine, and Chamberlain, and Pack
ard was outspoken and did not endorse
Hayes and the Postoffice organ-grinders
maneuvered the wires, and by an 8 to 7
trick defeated Mr.. Coates, nominating
Mr.. Folger, who had been defeated Oh
shame where is thy blush2

HORRIBLE CALAMITY.
Collision on the West Pennsylvania Road
Five Persons Killed and About
Ten Wounded.

About five o'clock last evening terri
BILE accident occurred on the West Penn
railroad, which adds to the terror reign
ing in this community at the present
time. BY the time mentioned the Phila-
delphia express eastward bound and the
Blairsville mail westward bound were
approaching point short distance be-
yond Guysutta station. Both trains
were going at rapid rate, especially
the Philadelphia, and as there is but a
single track at this portion Of the road
a terrible calamity was inevitable. AS
they came nearer the engineers saw the
impending danger; the engineer and
fireman Of the mail train jumped off
and escaped without serious injury.
The engineer and fireman Of the ex>
press remained at their post and were
both killed. About eight or ten passen-
gers were injured, some quite seriously,
and were removed to number Of houses
in Sharpsburg. wnere they have been
well taken care of since. Their names
could not be learned last evening.
There are many rumors as to the
cause of the collision. Conductor Sny-
der, who had charge of the Philadelphia
train, attributes it to a misunderstanding
as to the running. Conductor Foster,
of the mail train. however, asserts that
it was caused by blunder on the part oi
either the telegraph operator or the en-
gineer of the Philadelphia train as he
was on time. The Philadelphia train
was running as per order. It was the
train which formerly left the Union de-
pot every evening for Philadelphia.

WHEAT is higher, corn is higher, wool
is higher. There is ready market Tor
anything the farmer has to sell. Labor
is employed. Our shops are busy. And
still the nation lives under Republican
administration. Hayes is President, and
the times are improving, What infer
ence will llsensible people draw from these
facts2 We have abundant cause to
thank Providence that we are living un-
der State and national republican Gov
ernment, Remember these facts when
asked to vote the democratic ticket, and
don't you do it.-RepOSitOry
The "strikes" of laborers on six Of the
main railway lines, the riots and order
ing out of the military by State and the
U. S. Governments is all the answer and
commentary necessary to the above twad-
die.
Here we are capital and labor in an
tagonism, and Government with military
in the field. Unfortunate condition
For years, under Republican rule, the
policy has been to legislate for capital
and to build up monopoly, and when the
collapse comes labor is the chief sufferer
When a railroad official was addressing
the strikers at Pittsburgh last Friday, he
was saluted with, "You can afford to talk,
you get a salary of $3.50 month and a
bonus of $500 every six months, and we
can't get enough to keep us in bread and
butter"
This tells the true but sad story.
The transfer men" near the outer de-
pot, 73 of them, quit work at noon on
Friday, Joined their brethren and were
received with cheers. Up to July lst,
these men received ST, ,25 per day and the
ten per cent. reduction after that date cut
them down to SLIP! day, These are
nearly all men of family.
This state of things needs no comment.
Every one can take it home to himself
and consider how these men can pay rent
and maintain family with flour $40
barrel.
But the Repository will say, "We have
abundant cause to thank Providence that
we are living under a State, and national
Republican Government
