Nerited Censure

ST. LOUIS, April 27.-The Globe-Dem-
ocrat which has heretofore been on the
side of the striking street conductors,
expressed itself editorially this morning
as follows:
"The hope expressed yesterday for an
honorable and peaceable settlement of
the street car troubles, has been, we re-
greet to say, disappointed. Mr.. Wells
yesterday conceded substantially all that
had been asked of him, but his offer
was rejected. The truth is, that the OBJ
ject of the strike has been perverted.
Originally an honest effort to secure a
reduction of the hours of labor, it be-
came, yesterday, an impudent demand
for a control of the business of the diff
ferent street railroads. The so-called
Trades Union has entered into a dis
pute with which it can legally have no
concern, and now the question is not
how many hours the men shall receive,
but whether the companies are willing
to be governed by the rules laid down
by an utterly irresponsible organization
of utterly irresponsible men, controlled
by journeymen jaw-mover5 in the pre-
tended name of labor. To this demand
honorable men can make but one reply,
and that is in the negative"
The Republican has long editorial
On TIC S1L1O SuUJCSt, lIOIA WHICH Tic hOA-
lowing is taken:
whatever the original form in which
it presented itself yesterday, the demand
was an immediate and decisive action at
the hands of those in authority. So
long as the men contented themselves
with demand for shorter hotrs, and a
refusal to work until their terms were
complied with, no one could object to
their action and everyone was at liberty
to support these claims by peaceable
means. But the moment the strike as
sumed, as was witnessed yesterday, an
attitude of hostile defiance of the legal
authorities of the city, and a boisterous
attack upon the rights of person and
property, that moment the strikers and
those engaged in these demonstrations
forfeited the sympathy of the law-abid-
ing public, and elassed themselves
among the enemies of peace and good
order of society"

MORE ABOUT THE BOND FEE.
The $4,000 fee paid by the county CON-

The $4,000 fee paid by the county CON-
missioners at their April session to
County Attorney Sedgwick for the re-
covery of the narrow gauge bonds, still
remains the absorbing topic of local
interest, and so far AS we have been able
10 learn there has been no revolution in
public sentiment In relation TO this
matter. THE NEWS, in its daily and
weekly issue of the 2lst expressed the
opinion that the fee was larger than the
nature Of the case justified, and 1t has
had no reason to modify its position in
this regard. In our former article bear.
ing upon this question we gave the
commissioners and county attorney the
benefit Of their presentation of the
matter, being prompted by desire to do
justice to all parties concerned, aud thus
allow the people to arrive at their own
conclusions, uninfluenced by anything
save . plain statement, in general terms
of both sides of the case. The verdict
GEMS 10 be very generally adverse to the
contract between the commissioners and
Mr.. Sedgwicla, the conviction prevailing
that the conditions for tho surrender Of
the narrow gauge bonds by Donnell
Lawson & Co.,-with whom they were
placed In escrow-to the railroad com
pany were so plainly violated that their
could be no question as to the recovery o.
the bonds by the county. In view of the
interest which centers upon this feature
Of the case, we submit to our readers the
following contract, signed by Donnell
Lawson & Co, wherein the conditions
for the delivery Of the narrow gaug'
bonds TO the Kansas City, Emporia 8
Southern railroad company, and substan
TALLY those upon which they were voted
are plainly set forth:
That they will safely keep said bond
and tAid stock, and deliver the same 4
said railroad company, its successors anC
assigns, upon the following condition.
only:
WHEREAS, The said railroad compa
ny, its successors or assigns, shall pre-
sent to the said Donnell, Lawson & Co

to rise steadily during the past twenty
four hours, and is now twenty-five feet
and four inches above low water mark
