The Situation.

The turbulent week closes with indications
OF a general collapse OF the great railroad
strike. AL the great trunk roads west have
resumed the running OF freight trains; aud
though. no doubt, there will be Isolated exhi-
billions Of the strike spirit for some time to
come, II has evidently lost It's force as a CO.
operative national movement If the rail-
road companies are wise they will not pur-
sue their triumph over the strikers in any
harsh vindictive temper. On the contrary
they should seek To show that they have
kindly interest in the welfare of the hum
blest OF their hard-wOrking employees
by inquiring into their grievances and
applying q remedy. The history of the
present strike has shown that in the case of
some OF the railroad boards they had not u q
slightest idea OF the degree ofsufering which
the ten per cent. reduction would bring the
freight fremen who work only half time. As
a matter OF fact they had a more definite ac-
quaintance and more sympathy with the
hungry people OF India and China than they
had with their own employees, compelled to
support themselves upon scant rations of
corn bread and molasses.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1877-07-28
HE Wrong Way and the Right Way

The railroad strikers put themselves in a
false position by undertaking forcibly to
stop the running OF railroad trains; and they
have thus managed TO array the whole law
and order sentiment OF the country against
them for the time being. Their best course
is TO get out of This false attitude at once. and
plant themselves inside of la and good gov
eminent, and make their grievances heard
through the press and the ballot box The
public is already in a mood 20 put restric-
lions upon the farther grasp OF power by
the great railroad mOnopolies of the country.
There is growing sense of alarm at the
enormous strength and Influence attained
by these great companies, and there is a
feeling throughout the country that these
monster corporations that control state legis-
latUres and mould congressional action at
will are dangerous 10 republican fnstitu-
lions. With this feeling existing. the labor
ing men, wrOnged by the exactions of rail-
road boards, will have the people of the
country with them in any action, ,Citttn the
Tar, for their redress. II is notorious fact
that the railroad corporations of the country
dictate very largely who shall be elected TO
Congress OF TO state legislatures. In the
future II is pretty certain that the people will
look into this matter, and that the nominees
of the railroad corporations will stand much
less chance of getting into legislative bo-
dies.

A Lordon correspondent has il on good
authority that 10000 British soldiers are
under orders for Gallipolli. on the European
side OF the Dardanelles, As regards the eff
fective strength Of the British army for i'm
mediate operations in the East, 1t Is stated
that an army corps OF 10000 men can be
ready 70 embark at a fortnight's notice,
reaching Constantinople a fortnight after.
This force can be followed a fortnight after
ward by Sc 500 men, and within a month
these two corps can be Joined by a force OF
10000 men from India. This would make an
army OF $500 men that could be placed, in
SIX weeks or two months, in an Improbable
position, as Gallipolli is said to be capable
OF being made second Gibraltar in ten days.

The paving companies still maintain their
sickening nuisances on y street, and the
authorities seem to wink at the matter with
philOsophic complacency. We hear that
with the prevailing southerly wind the en-
ployes of the Pension Office shepherd build
ing are obliged 10 work with their windows
closed, excluding every breath of air this
suffocating hot weather, In order to shut out
this uncomfortable stencil. II our Board of
Health would suspend their petty squabblss
about office, mail contracts, night soil Jobs,
&C., &c, long enough TO abate patent nuis-
ance of this sort, they would stand better
with the public.

In referring to the refusal of Vice President
King, Ofthe Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
accede TO the terms of his late employees, we
yesterday stated that he did not take into
consideration the fact that the price OF provi
siOns, clothing, rents, &C., have not yet been
reduced to ante bellum figures. state
ment. evidently carefully prepared, showing
the relative wholesale prices OF articles of
general consumption in 1861 and 1877 demon
strates the truth of the assertion. Flour now
is about the same as in 1851, as is also pork,
but corn meal, wheat, corn, bacon, sugar,
coffee, leather, and wool are considerably
higher. The same may be said of market
provisions, such as mutton, beet, lamb, veal
potatoes, butter, eggs, &C. Take the article
OF beef which In 1851 was from to Is cents
Per pound, and is now put down at from ~
to 20 cents. An expenditure OF s25 then for
beef al the average price OF ID cents per
pound, would secure 1872 i-13 pounds, while
now but l56 I pounds could be bought for the
same money. In other words il would now
require s3O.57 10 purchase the same amount
OF beef which could be bought in 1861 for S25.

Mob law must be put down, promptly,
