WILBUR T. STOREY, ER. D.
We rpgrot TO observe that our amiabie
contemporary on tho river section manifesta
IN unbccoming mud unnecessary jealousy Of
tho editor Of THE CuroAuo TRIBUNE, because
tho latter recently suggested tho establish.
mont Of a chair in some university a1ready
in existence for tho special instruction Of
young men In the profession Of journalism.
Wc regrot still more that tho venerable gen.
tleman should allow the peaceful seronity Of
his old ago, that serenity which haa resnltol
from lifetime Of good deeds md philan-
thropy, to bo disturbed with tho suspicion
that tho editor Of THE C1uoAoo Tn1nusE Ia
conspiring to olovato hiulsolf to such posi-
tlon for the Rake Of sa1ary OF $4,000 a
year, and TO monopolize the direction Of tho
Juvenile idea towards journalism. II 5Ir.
SronKY Ind read tho address attentiveIy, he
would have obsorved that It was not pro-
posod to concentrate those important duties
in tho hands Of ono person. On
tho contrary, 1t was s11ggestod that
chairs shonld DO: established iu such
representative colleges as Harvard, ralo,
Cornell, Princeton, Ober1in, and Ann Arbor.
II ho had only stopped to consider that tho
demand for editors In the United States Is
about 1000 per annum, ho would have seen
that ono professor cannot hopo to supply
that demand. Thoro ia anple room for Dr.
S1oaEr, Thero Is no occasion for his sensl-
tive envy. There is no mood evon OF anxiety.
There is no reason Why ho should not hayo
tho opportunity, undor certain conditions,
to educate young men In that peculiarly
dignifed, clasto, and decorous sty1o Of jour
natism which has 50 long commended Dr..
aroREr 10 tho lovo and admiration Of his
follow-men. To show how unworthy ID his
jealousy VIC would nominate A1r. W1Lnun F.
sronE1, EE+ D., 10 tho Chair Of journalism
In that largo and aouriahing College Of Ann
Arbor, In his own State, or in tho Douglas
University, in Ills adopted State, while the
editor Of TuE CHICAGO Tntnusx will be con-
tont 10 take hia chances for chair olgo-
whoro.
ii may ba conceived at tho outset TINT
sorno difficulty might stand In tho way, how
ovoF, owing to tho peculiar style Of Journal
ism which Dr.. 5ronEH would toach hut ns~
Stunning that 1t wonid moot with tho approval
OF tho Managing Board and those who send

The difficulty between the Baltimore aad
Ohio Railroad Company aud portion of its
employees, which has led to bloodshed aud the
temporary blockade Of the company's freight
trains at Matusburg, followed by a similar
blockade at Keyser, West Va, IS a matter
greatly to be regretted especially since the acts
at Martinsb urg and Keyscr have rendered il
at those points no longer merely question be-
tween employers and employed in regard to a
reduction Of wages proposed by the former as
necessary and in accordance with tire pressure
Of the times, and resisted by tire latter as I'M
necessary and unjust It Is also unfortunately
a question Of the maintenance Of public order
and Of the supremacy Of the law Difficulties
4 this sort between a large corporation like
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company and
the multitude Of men who, with their families.
depend upon it for their daily bread, are al
WAYS to be deprecated. Especially is the ne
cessity for a reduction of wages to be regretted.
bringing with il, as it unavoiIably must do,
curtailmcnt Of the scanty comforts Of those
whose lot is at all times sufficiently hard and
beset with priyatious. But the steps which
The Martinsburg strikers have taken to compel
the company 70 recele from its position render
it impossible TO consider the question solely rs
it affects the interests Of the company or its
employees While refusing 20 work them
selves at the reduced wages the men have IN
lertaken to proven; the company from en-
ploying other men in their places aud TO pre-
vent others who may be ready and anxious to
work from accepting the needed employment
They have laid temporary embargo upon the
freight traffic Of the road and have interfercd
with the rights, the property and the business
ofihousards Of persons who have nothing to do
with the reduction Of wages or the manage
meut Of the road. The public at large suffers
10y the interruption to the comPany's business,
while society is injured by the exhibition Of
force and the resort to violence on the part of
these misguided men. Ordinary prudence
should teach them that however great their
grievances may be they should make it a car
dinal poiu, to yield to the authority Of law,
and then any question at issue between the
company aud its employees can De dealt with,
as it is the interest and policy, less than the
duty, Of the company to deal with it in spir-
10 of Justice, Cancellation and kindness /, Is
impossible not to feel for the Woodworking
employees Of the company, whose life is one
OF exposure aud Of toll, the sympathy which
must be lost to them if they become mere riot
ers. It's a matter to be especially remarked
that the strikers at Baltimore during yesterday
maintained perfect order. the only serious dis
turbaucc, US above indicated, occurring in West
Virginia. The militia were called out at Mar
,nsburg, but, it seems, they proved unequal
10 the emergency.

that withdrew my company from the railroad
too soon. Ny orders were 10 protect all men will
ling to run the companv's trans. When the first
shot was fired the engineer and fireman deserted
the engine. Alter clearing everything from the
front OF the engine asked the authorities il there
was any other engineer or fireman willing to take
the train, and was informed there was not. then
stated my orders had been complied with as there
was no attempt at personal violence or injury to
property. | told Mayor Shut when the company
informed me that they had men willing to run the
trains | would attempt to protect them. This he
telegrsphed to Vice President King. No such in

not disbanded, but dismissed to be assembled when
it was deemed proper 10 call upon them.
