The Remedy.

In strong editorial on the present
baleful situation of affairs, the Chica-
go Tribune thus sensibly prescribes
the proper remedy:
The first and most important duty
is to quell mob rule, to stop violence,
pillage, and incendiarism at all haz-
yards, and to restore law and order,
and place the safety of the general
community in the hands of the duly
constituted authorities, instead Of eN-
posing it to the blind, passionate, un-
reasoning fury of the mob, which has
neither discretion nor discrimination.
This done, an equally imperative duty
devolyes upon the railroad companies
Theymust cease cutting each others
Threats as they have been doing for
the past twelve months, and must
make their agreements binding. The
community does not ask of them to
work for remuneration less than the
cost or value of their service. 1t does
not ask them to carry freight or pas
sengers for less than living rates or at
rates that compel them to reduce the
wages of their employees down to the
starving point. The first step for them
to take il to raise their charges, not
extraordinarily, but fairly aud reasona-
bly,, and then, restoring the last two
cuts of wages. let them alone, and
await the great crops to handle and
the changes in the fiscal affairs of the
country that will tend to restore bust
ness prosperity and place values on an
improving basis. The reduction Of the
mems poor wages does not benefit
them SO long as this insane COMPETE
ton is kept up. Every reduction of
wages is followed by Il reduction of
rates, and If wages were lowered to a
cent a day rates would be put down to
zero, with a premium offered to ship
pers. The quickest solution Of the
present problem, a partial remedy at
least, so far rs we can see. Is for the
railroads to make schedule of rates
on the ''live and let live" basis. They
must charge enough to pay their men,
such compensation as to enable
them to pay rent and fuel, aud feed
and clothe themselves and their fami-
lies. Before this can he done, howev-
| er, mob rule and violence must be sup
pressed, whatever may he the cost or
| consequences.

cat eleven o'clock Sunday forenoon
the citizens Of Pittsburg. beginning to
fear general baptism Of fire, for the
first time undertook to do something
to uphold the arm Of law and order.
1t is difficult to excuse their supine-
ness. The situation on Friday should
have dictated to them an effort to stay
the sentiment in favor Of violence
which--the city being one vast work
shop-was fast permeating all classes
of laborers. And one would think
that they could not have done less on
Saturday than to have organized and
guarded arsenals and other places
where arms were stored. But they
did absolutely nothing but look on
until this moment, when in the fear
of fire-and il Is that great pity
that the same terrible fire did not
reach some OF the rich and influential
instead of burning the houses OF the
poor along the Railroad-they met
and appointed two Committees OF
preachers to go out and talk compro-
mise.
or course this availed nothing. All
day Sunday the demon of destruction
had full sway. The magnificent I'm
ion depot, 75xaOo feet, offices and
waiting rooms below and the Key
stone hotel, the finest In the city,
above, was fianked by long lines of
pine sheds to protect passengers. At
8 80 burning cars were run under
these, and in short time the depot
was in flames. Then the huge freight
depot of the p. c. 4 st. l.. was pill
LACED and fired, followed close by the
firing of the Panhandle offices and of
the huge grain elevators, which.
crammed with grain, stood near the
Union depot. At this time, three
solid miles along the track was a mass
of flames, and the frightened citizens
began to organize and arm. as they
should have done. IS hours sooner,
while the fire departments, which on
pain of death were not permitted to
throw water on anything belonging
to a railway, were struggling 10 pro-
tect the city.
And jus, about here the fury of the
mob began to show signs OF having
worn itself out. The great crowd-of
which during these terrible scenes the
original striking railroad men formed
only n small fraetiou-began To dwiu-
die an,l before daylight Monday the
place of battle, of fire, and of pillage,
was smoking scene Of desolation,
guarded by the police and the citizens
vigilance q committees.
The destruction of property is esti-
mated at over fire millions OF dotiurs.
So much entirely gone--dissipated in
smoke-of the accumulated earnings
of the country. Who is better off?
Not the laborers, certainly. But
worse, even, than this were the scenes
where friends were weeping over the
hundred of murdered and twice that
number of wounded men, women and
children--the victims of those who

Love After Marriage.

A couple at the United States seemed
to be very fond of each other as to at
tract general attention, and the general
conclusion naturally was that they were
enjoying their honeymoon. One of the
boarders who declared that he could al
ways tell by their behavior just how long
a pair had been married offered to lay
wager that their wedding had taken
place within three weeks. 81 am sure
of it" he added; "no man is so studi-
ously gallant to woman after the first
month. Why, he lifts his hat to ner on
joining her on the piazza, picks up her
handkerchief ard returns it with a bow,
follows her with his eyes, begs her par
don if be happens to jostle her in walk
ing. A man can't keep that up of course.
It's all well enough in the honeymoon;
I've been guilty of that thing myself.
But when fellow has been a husband
for year, he can't afford to be regulated
by the slightest movement of his wife's
petticoats--it's simply ridiculous" His
wager was taken. Due inquiry estab-
| lished the fact that the couple had been
married seven years; that the husband
had fallen in love with his wife at first
sight at the same United States Hotel,
and had proposed to her within forty
eight hours, and had been accepted, the
soft infection being mutual. He was
then an officer in the regular army--he
had served honorably during the civil
war and she was the eldest of five
daughters of the cashier of county
bank. Neither had anything to gain
financially by the marriage, but they
were married at once, and she went with
him to military post in Wyoming. Aft
er three years, an uncle, bachelor,
who had been in business in England,
died, and left her a handsome property.
Her husband resigned from the army
and is now member of prosperous
firm in Baltimore, and, according to all
accounts and manifestations, as fond of
his wife as on the day of his wedding.
We hear so much of miserable alliances
growing out of watering place firtations
that it is pleasant to record an excep-
tional instance. The marriage was GER
tainly very imprudeHt, but it had for
tunate issue, and fortunate issues and
hasty unions are 50 rare as to merit
chronicling ga man still in lovewith
his wife at the end of seven yearsw says
a skeptical reader. "That is too heavy
a draught on human credulity." All |
can say is that names and addresses will
be given if treated contidentially, and, if
desirable, photographs may he exchanged.
