Rail Road Strikes.

The people have had, heretofore, yer,
little interest in quarrels between rail roat
corporations and their employees; the pub
lie care very little whether John Doe, en-.
ginecr, gets two or four dollars per day
or whether Richard Roe, stakeholder, gets
dividends or not, except so far rs either
case may affect the public interest in Civ
ing facilities for safe and expeditions travel
and frei9hting. But this action of some
of the striking engineers on the Grand
Trunk lines, and recently on the Boston
and Maine is changing all this. When
they interfere to cause delays, veXation
and loss, they will very naturally turn on
themselves public attention and indigna-
ton. Whether certain engineers run an
engine for company at all or not, or at
what prices, the public don't care, but
when after having started train, they
leave it at way station, or between way
stations, then it is the public become IL de-
cldedly interested party; and when the de-
lay is made still greater by dumping the
fires and drawing the water from the en-
gine, it looks to be an exhibition of una.
dulterated cussedness.
Such course would entail little addi-
tlonal loss on the company, AMI isa direct
outrage on the public. The engineer who
starts train for his run. becomes morally
bound to his passengers, or those sending
freight, to use his best cndeavors to see it
safe through, and the leaving it, whenever
Dr. wherever his whim may dictate, re-
CARELESS of the loss, Inconvenience or
jeopardy of life incurred, should be made
I msdemcanor and punished as such.

which he gives some statistics relative 10
the destruction of crops by insects, Ac.
cordng o the last census, the annual no.
rlcultural products Of this country amount.
ed to - 100000. The doctor estimates
that $500, 100000 of products are yearly
lost by the attacks of insects. The Grass.
hoppers invaded the western third o3lv of
the state of Missouri, yet the destruction
exceeded $4,000, 000. The total loss from
these insects in the West was about $40.
100000. In 1874 the estimated loss NV
chjnch bugs in Illinois was about $40, OO0y-
0O0i in Missouri the same year. $40, 1000
600. The cotton worm is credited with
destroying $l0,000,OOO worth of cotton
every year. DR. Packard thinks that with
care and iorethought, based on the observ-
anco OF facts by scientific men, from $40 .
100000 to SlO0,000,000, or from Quarter
to a half, of this annual waste could he

The submissionists have us their leaders

If" Reform " triumphs at last it will be
by the light of Cronin's nose
If the democrats are to be believed,
Not for Samuel" is the motto of Joseph.
DIssoLYING VIEws.-Those taken of
the electoral commission three weeks ago
by partisan democrats and republicans.
Republicans hadn't better be too conf
dent till they are clear not only of the
woods but the undcrbrush, such as Cronin.
recesseS and final resort TO flibusternp
Those republicans who worried them.
selves sick about the constitutonality of
the commission appear to be convaescent;
the relapse would be terrible, though, if
Cronin's vote Should get counted.
That Oregon case UouM have been a
little safer if one of the republican electors
had only been brought to recognize Gro
min; and if descriptions of Cronin are cor
rect it must be dreadful easy to recognize
him.
The presidential contest is not yet decil-
ed but it is II lnost encouraging sign for
Hayes that the Washington democrats
apparently give up all hope: and they
have both there and all over the country
taken to abusing the commission.
Those republicans who were wondering
three weeks ago what Edmunds' "moliven
could be should have remembered that
he is barcfooted on the top of his head,
and that there is II fair prospect of his
soon coming into possession of the scalp
of the Tammany chief of Grnmercy Park.
Our junior Senator may have hid ideas of
a wig.
The democrats now claim that Edmunds |
has been guilty of bad faith, that he said
in the electoral committee that
led them to think he was in favor of the
going back of the returns and |
then went back on that doctrine when the |
pinch came. The heather will rage, bpt
it will be rather difficult for them to make
the people imagine vain thing.
1t does seem as though the democrats
had swallowed the unpalatable dose of de-
feat Il little in advance of its being pre-
scribed. Well, if we have to take it in
the end it will be some consolation to feel
that they know how it tastes. On second
thought, it wouldn't be so much OF con-
ISOLATION after all, for it would be impossi
bic to deceive them by trying not to put
on Il wry face.

'ordance with principles already laid
Town, give Oregon and South Carolina to

There are great many merchants in the
city from the South and West, and they

the indications are that there will be a

PRAYER IN WALL STREET.
The most curious phase of the religious
feeling now prevailing, is the series of
prayer-meetings daily for the Wall Street
gamblers. The bulls and bears have been
finally touched, and the place Of meeting
is daily thronged with them. And they
show IL great deal of feeling. Let us hope
that it will stop some of the gambling that
has made that street II by-word and re-
proach. If they should all get decently
converted it would make Il wilderness eff
