THE press and the public are uni
ted in the view taken of the rail-
road strike; with one voice they de-
nOunce it as an act of violence that
can be met only in one Way-fOrce.
the strikers are, themselves, the
most pitiless Of despOts they set at
defiance not only the laws of the
land, but the unwritten principles
of justice. Pretending to be fight
ing for bread, they snatch the bread
out of the mouths of those who seek
to earn it by taking the positions
which they have deserted; affecting
to be struggling for the rights of la
Dor, they strike down therightS of la
Dor by numbering those who at
tempt to work, in defiance of their
tyrannical orders. They boast of the
humanity and uprightness of their
cause; and yet the agencies by which
they seek to enforce that cause are
the club, the pistol and petroleum !;
they assassinate those who are gull
ty of no other crime than that of
working for a living, and in the
phrensy of theirresentment they set
on fire the depOtS and other buildings
of the company whose business they
assume the right to regulate. They
may have real grievance, for all
we know to the contrary, but it is
impossible for society to entertain it
in the midst of the violence with
which they present it. They strike
at the very Vitals of society; they
aim at the overthrow of public or
der; their scheme is a conspiracy
against the peace of communities !;
and the methods by which they
work remind us of nothing 50 much
as the bloody measures of the Paris
Communists in 1871. The worst en-
emies of these misguided men are
themselves, for they are not only
provoking the eXecration of thepeO-
pie, but are forcing the National and
State governments to crush them at
whatever cOst.-,S. Louis ReDu6H-
can.

EXTRAORDINARY as it may seem,
the Western Republicans are now
engaged in the very work which
was expected of Tilden and Hend-
ricks and their followers. They have
adopted Tilden's position almost
word for word. They denOunce the
resumption act almost in the langu-
age of the st. Louis platform, which
declared it ga hindrance" to re-
sumption, and demanded its repeal
and called in its stead for a judici-
Gus system of preparation by public
economies, by official retrenchments
and by wise finance, which should
assure the whole world of its per-
feet ability and its perfect readiness
to meet any of its promises at the
call of the creditors entitled to pay
ment." Hayes was at that time be-
ing held up to Republican admira-
ton as a candidate who was not
only opposed to the repeal of the act,
but who, if he agreed to any change
in it, would be in favor of Fastening
instead of pOstpOning the day. The
Cincinnati Gazette and the Chicago
Tribune, two of the leading papers
in the West, are now decrying the
act and calling for its mOdifica-
ton almost in Democratic words
and for Democratic reascns.-THe
Nation.

THE same principle that protects
workmen in their right to work or
cease work, or to protest against
grievances, protects employers in
their right to manage their bust
ness in their own way, and insist
upon such regulations as they please.
The one right is as sacred as the
other, and any interference with
eithermust beput down by thestrong
arm. The safety of society, the
protection of property, the preser-
Walton of life, all demand swift
measures of repression.-&. Louis

IT is difficult to understand what
there is to compromise on. 1t is be-
lieVed that the roads are not ma
king money even at the present low
rate of wages. If this be true, how
can the wages be increased? Are
railroads going to borrow money to
pay the deficits in their treasury
caused by this increase in expenses I?
Then who is there willing to lend
money to a corporation to sink in
this manner? No one, we are sure.
Until there is a better prospect than
at present of railroads earning some
thing for their stockholders, there is
little hope of their being able to in
crease the expenses of their admins
tratiOn.-IbIeIO Blade.

The Presidents of the three sections of the
Left held an important meeting today. The
decision shows remarkable moderation Itwas
decided that Gambetta, at the reopening of the
chamber should move an Interpolation on the
part of the Left, but that contrary to the opin-
ion of Gambetta himself and Theirs, he should
refrain from arraigning the action of President
MacMahon, whose irresponsibility should be
fully admitted
1t was also decided that the address
in reply to MacMahon's message should be
moderate in form, though decided in sub
stance, and that if overtures were made to the
majority with View to ministerial changes,
they should be rejected without consideration,
although it would be necessary to insist on the
retirement of M. Fourtou. 1t was finally
decided that the question of sanctioning the
budget should be left to the budget committee.
The majority Of the meeting appeared to be
of the opinion that nothing should be done to
render dissolution inevitable. 1t was admitted
that Fourtou's circular relative to hawking
licenses rendered many circumspect Republican
newspapers more lukewarm in their utterances,
| and that to give Republican canyassIng signif-
! canoe of hostility to MacMahon would lose a
number of votes
A circular has been issued ordering the
prosecution Of persons circulating for sig mature
| addresses or petitions to certain of the Senate
or Chamber of Deputies.

in great part the principal "motves;" that is,
the musical plan or structure of his work to be
at future day taken up again and completed.
The musical sketch being finished, the instru-
mentation is taken in hand and completed by
the master himself. He writes with marvellous
rapldity when once he has commenced, and
without scratch or correction, the sheets being
quite ready for the copyist and the engraver.
Whlle composing he wears peculiar dress,
after the style of the costume worn by Walther
Won StolziDg in the opera of the Master Singers
OF Nuremberg"-a brown tricot OF silk, knee
breeches of velvet tied with ribbons, velvet
shoes, silk shirt with large puffed-out sleeves,
velvet vest reaching low down, and dark vel
vet coat lined with silk, the arms extremely
wide at the wrists, leaving the silk armlets
fully displayed. That indescribable cap seen
in nearly all portraits of the composer completes
this quaint fifteenth-century costume. Ordi-
narily, however, the composer dresses,like any
body else.
This is how, according to the Tribune, the
PRESIDENT looked while he was photographed
by Mora: The Presidents photograph was de
sired first, and after mere glance irto mir
ror he announced himself in readiness for
sitting. A man of medium stature, stoutly
built, but not inclined to corpulency, and hav-
ing small hands and feet; large, we'll shaped
head covered with brown hair slightly tinged
with gray; q full, brown beard, prominent
nose, fairly regular features, wide forehead
and eyes of dark blue; his clothing, plain
dress suit of broadcloth, an old-fashioned linen
collar, with a small black cravat-such was the
picture of the President as he sat in the photog.
rapher's chair. The Attorney-general and the
remainder of the party were in another part of
the room while 10 negatives for imperial pho
tographs in several positions were taken. ALI
the negatives presented excellent licensees
and met Mr.. Hayes's fullest approval. During
the intervals caused by the preparation of ma
terial by the artist the President stroled across
the floor with his hands clasped before him,
his favorite attitude, and at times apparently
lost in reverie. After his last sitting he sub
scribed his name in Morals autograph album Of
celebrities. The inscription was in plain
bold hand, and read simply, "R B. Hayes
Fremont O." Mr. Hayes placed his auto
graph, opposite that of Vice President Wheel,
er's, and a few leaves from those of ex-Gov.
Tilden and Gen. Sherman.
