The lawless proceedings of the strikers
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad can
lead only to one resul:, the discontinue
and punishment of the misguided men who
take part in them. The law must be en-
forced and the rights and property of the
railroad protected at ali hazards. and. what
ever temporary success the rioters may
achieve, they must In the end be subdued.
Ii the local civil authorities are not strong
enough to suppress such demonstrations
and preserve the peace the duty of so
dong falls on the state. and if the state
happens to be fer any reason powerless.
then on the nation. 1t is madness for aDv
body of men to suppose that they can DEFY
the law and enforce their demands on
their employers by brute strength, when, if
two hundred of the police or military
should not be sufficient to bring them to
subsection, TWO thousand or twenty
thousand would be forthcoming. They
may hold out for time, it is true, and
may cause some bloodshed, but this can
only make their eventual punishment the
more certain and the more severe.
The strikers may have their grievances,
but they ought to know that they cannot
hope to right themselves by stepping out
side the pale of the law and inaugurating
an lnsurrectlon in the state. The mo-
ment they so commit themselves thew give
their employers an advantage over them
which they would not otherwise possess,
Ii the strike was inevitable the strikers
ought to have trusted to the difficulty that
would, no doubt, have been encountered
IN hllIng their places; to the loss and in
convenience the road would have ex-
perienced in changing experts for novices,
and to friendly negotiations for compron-
Use that might have been satisfactory to
both sides. As it is they have made
compromise difficult, if not impossible, and
if they should insanely perist in defying
TIE law and breaking the peace they will
only add to their future suferings. 1t is
hoped that they will not pursue any such
reckless course, but will peaceably suffer
the business of the road to be resumed.
They will then excite public sympathy
that may yet bring about settlement of
their difficulties, whiessa wicked provoeation
OF bloodshed will torn all men against
them.

The Four Per Cents.

The subscriptions to the per cent. loan
amount so far to about $1,000, 900, or
nearly three times the sum of the bonds
originally offered for sale. The success
of the movement for refunding the public
debts is therefore assured. The surprise
at this result seems to be general, but as
we anticipated something Of the kind, and
said as much, when the loan was put upon
the market, We do not share in this sup
Use. Neither are we inclined to accept
the explanations which are now offered
to account for the result. It is not because
of the hard times or any feeling OF panic
that people are willing to invest their cap
ital securely at the low rate of 4 per cent. 1t
is simply because the day of small things
is really upon US. The era of bold invest.
ments, quick and exorbitant returns and col
ossal fortunes made by touch of Aladdin's
lamp has passed away; the day Of cautious
operations has dawned. Speculation has
had its time, and we now look to see money
fairly earned in productive enterprises by
patient and Industrious men, and carefully
guarded when it has been acquired, The
disposition to invest in the per cent.
loan shows that the people are making up
their minds to adapt themselves to the
changes in the circumstances Of the nation,
and to cease to look for the profits which
were to be reaped in a new country and
under the stimulus of an unnatural politi-
cal and social state. Things are settling
down to the solid earth after the excite
ment and baliooning Of the past fifteen
years; and now that the ground has been
struck they will propably move on with
the even motion of affairs in an old land
where men are economical in their expend-
itures, satisfied with fair wages and con-
tent with low rates of interest on safe in
vestments. 1t is more than doubtful
whether even so much as a CLEAN of the
old times will ever come back, and it is
utter folly to be talking as if they might
return to us at any moment in some mys-
FERROUS way. If we ever wake up in the
morning to find ourselves dazzled again by
them it will be after years of patient &C
ceptance of the hard labor, careful invest
ments and moderate returns which the
present era calls for. The subscriptions
to the 4 per cent. loan simply show that
men are adjusting themselves to the limi=
tations of the day of small things. That
is the first condition of new era Of real
and healthy national prosperity. and we
hail its advent with unfeigned satisfaction.

THE U. P. ROBBERS.

Omaha, Sept. 2s.-The killing of the
Union Pacific robbers at Buffalo, KS, has
been known here since Wednesday, but was
kept quiet at the request of Union Pacific
officials. The clue which led to this result
and which will, it is believed, lead to other
captures, came from a passenger named
Reilly who was robbed. He Unidentified
the man killed at Buffalo. Collins use to
be cattle dealer at Ogallala, near the scene
Of the robbery. Reilly had known him well
and had business dealings with him in the
cattle line. When Collins came into the
car Reilly recognized him, despiteh his mask
Another passenger had also recognized Col
lins. A day or two before the killing a
detective had entered the robbers camp
while they were asleep and learned tina
there were six armed men and that they
still had the plunder. General Pope wa
accordingly asked to send scouts along tn,
line of the Kansas Pacific, with the resul
we'll known.

A few of the wants of the Indians, to
which governmental attention is directed,
are given by the Inter Ocean correspondent
who reported last weeks talk between the
president and the Sioux Chiefs Big Road,
in his speech, expressed some very modest
desires. He wanted to come to Washing
ton every year to see the great father, and
say show" to him. He wanted each In
dian to have thousand head of cattle, and
thousand head of sheep. He wanted a
box of money, also, and preferred to pur-
chase his own supplies instead of having
them sent to him by the government. Lit
tie Wound expressed desire to become a
telegraph operator. He wanted school
house where he could learn to read and
write and telegraph. Two Bears wanted
the government to send him white sugar
instead of brown. He wanted house to
live in like that the president lived IN, and
six-horse team. Another chief wanted
the Episcopal missionaries to be away from
the agency, and Catholic priests to take
their places. He also wanted women teach
ers instead of men.

"What do you think of the dissolution of
republican state organizations in the south?'
"That is one of the usual violent effects
of wise government after scene of turmoil
like we had last fall. For myself, do not
care for party. You can always depend
upon the good sense of the people of the
United States. They believe in the repub-
lie. Their flag is to the fore, with strong
arms behind it always, and they are senti.
mental, loyal and brave. They will never
elect high official except upon a common
sense basis. For that reason l believe-the
republican and democratic parties Of late
being so evenly divided-that the people
will be compelled to vote in large majority
for the republican candidate, no matter who
he may be, because the democrats will do
some silly thing that will drive the think
ing people from their ranks at the last mo-
ment. The modern democracy always does
it. 1t has made me smile frequently as
have thought of it; but there is some fatality
at work in the premises"

St. Paul, Sept. es-Owing to Indian
Suncrintendent Kimball having ordered
Father Tomozein, Catholic missionary, to
leave White Earth agency on accout of his
violation of the agency rules in putting
orphan children in his school, the priest
took refuge in the church, rung the bell to
summon the Indians friendly to him.. and
with them is now holding the church in
armed opposition to the authority of Kim
hall. The Indians are considerably excited
and consequently Kimball telegraphed to
Fort Smelling for aid Wednesday, and pro
hablv received reinforcement of company
of infantry yesterday. The Indians are no,
aggressive but watchful and suspicious
They have other minor grievances which
will probably necessitate troops remaining
