Important Facts.

The New York Heraid gives the
prices paid to the iiremen and brake
men who started the present strikes.
Up to May the men were paid as given
in the table, and since then there has
been a reduction Of 1oper cent on
these rates oi wages:

1t has been proclaimed 10y the strik-
ers, far and wide, that they were only
paid 90 cents a day, bat the above fig
ures, after deducting the ~ per cent
don't bear out the assertion. But some
of the strikers claim that they only
have four days work per week, to
which the companies reply that if
they give all the men employed full
time they must discharge great
many of their men and that they
haNt bS'i hSVpihS ta'hi oH tiS pay
rolls and doing the best they could
for them until the fall crops began to
move, when they expected to give
them all full work and better pay.
The Herald adds to its statement:
There is no doubt that many rail-
road companies have become greatly
embarrassed by bad management, by
undue extension of lines, by the wa
tering of stock, and through the self
ish devices of managers who have, as
the train men point out, bled roads to
favor their private enterprises. Ever
since 1873 railroads have been going
into bankruptcy, and this iyeven now
going on at a rate which few people
except those interested in this kind Of
property suspect. During the six
months ending the first of this month
foreclosure sales have been ordered Of
fifteen roads, with capital stock of
over forty-seven millions and debt
of over eighty-five millions. During
the same time thirty-two roads, repre-
senting nearly fifty millions of stock
and over seventy-iive millions of debt,
have been sold; and Receivers have
been appointed for sixteen roads with
stock and debt amounting to over
one hundred and fifty millions. This
unpleasant but nevertheless healthful
and necessary process of coming
down to hard-pan" must continue,
and the last year has seen very
serious general shrinkage In the value
Of railroad stocks,

The man who for some unaccouna-
BILE reason received IA majority of the
votes cast for Governor of Indiana at
the election last October still contin-
ues TO disgrace the Executive office OF
a great State by refusing assistance
TO the local authorities in their effort
to put down mob rule. First having
telegraphed the Sheriff at Fort Wayne
to know whether he needed help, and
having received an affirmative reply,
this pusillanimous apology for Gov
ernor refused to order solitary sold
Ter to the rescue, and the strikers,
becoming more obstreperous than
ever with this encouragement, pro-
ceeded at once to detach from pass
enger train refrigerator car loaded
with fruit from Chicago for New
York, and left the car on side track

Vanderbilt, President of the y. Y.
Central, like Scott. Garrett and
other leading railroad managers,
would hold no parley with men while
under the threat of stopping trains and
destroying property, but this is the
way he comes to the front now:
President Vanderbilt, of the New
York Central * Hudson River Rail
road, has issued circular stating
that of the 1900 employees of the
company, less than 100 struck and
no injury was done to property. In
recognition of their fealty, he directs
that hundred thousand dollars be
divided ratably, according to their
position on the pay roll, among all
employees operating the road. He
says no man who, in time of trial, en-
barrassed the company can remain OF
re-enter its service, and adds that pay
will be increased the moment bust
ness justifies it.

The Russo-Turkish war has nearly
been lost sight of during late develop
ments this side the water, but it has
been in progress nevertheless. No very
striking news came until within few
days Sistova message reported an
important engagement on Sunday,
the 18th, near Rustchuk, in which a
strong Turkish corps under Achmed
Eyoub was routed with great loss
1900 prisoners having been taken.

A large proportion Of Iowa Republic
cans have just cause for intense dis
satisfaction with the party nomina-
ton for Governor-more on account
Of the circumstances attending, and
the manner of his nomination than of
their earlier personal objections. But
let them look over the field thought
fully and well and see what crazy
led third party promises in the way OF
relief. Iowa Republican voters read
their tickets, and If they feel that they
must signify their Interpretation of
candidate, they know how to do SC
without assisting in any scheme te
permanently divide the party with
which 80 much has been accomplished
and from which SO much is reasona'
bly, to be expected.

increased la5 per cent. over that OF

Executive Committee of the Green

The Democratic attempt and failure
to fix the faint of No-nothingisIn up

more strongly the fact that Ohio Demo-

II may be well to devote a share to the
