George III. Sharpe The former appeals through

LEGATIONS concerns not Mr. Conklng or Mr.. sharpe,
but a more important parsonage than either,-the
President of the United States. The details of
enough interest TO be here set out.
Mr. Conkling arrived in this city from Washing
ton on Saturday May u, of last year, after he
and his assistant Thomas C. Piatt, resigned their
Offices of trust as United States Senators. On the
following morning TIE TRIBUNE announced that a
conference of Mr. Conklng's friends would
be held that day to consider what course
he should pursue. On Monday morning,

MURDER ALREADY.

Already the strike of ironworkers has re-
suited in blOOdshed, and probably in murder.
At the outset, this was pointed out as an
almost inevitable consequence. If all the
workmen were sober, intelligent, law-abid-
ing and reasonable men, there would be no
danger but, if that had been the case, there
would have been no strike in the present con-
dition of the iron trade The single fact that
the strike was attempted upon falling mar
ket, and at a time when the demand for iron in
the ordinary commercial. forms had shruuk to
minimum, was evidence that the wiser, more
reasonable and more temperate workmen were
in this instance OutvOted. The same dcsper-
ate spirit which is manifested in a strike at
such a time, whenever it is active and pre-
vailing among the strikers, is likely to lead
to acts of lawless violence.
There was reason to expect that violent out
breaks would be more likely to begin at Chi
cago than at Pittsburg. The terrible experience
of 1877 has not been forgotten by any class
of citizens at Pittsburg, and the worllingmen,
who were great sufferers at that time
in consequence of the lawless acts
of Others. may naturally have learned
to regard violence with less favor The
outbreak at Chicago is a complete illustration
of the general tendency of Trades Unionsm.
The men band together to coerce employers,
and regard as their enemies other wOrkmen
who refuse to bind themselves to act with
them. When threats fail, some of the strikers
disregard law, and resort to force. 1t is prob
ably true at Chicago, as it usually is else
where, that the great majority of the strikers
censure and keenly regret the crimes with a
few of their number have perpetrated. If they
have reason, they know that murder or massacre
will only arouse against them an intense and
irresistible public hostility, which will hold all
strikers in n measure responsible for the natu-
raj consequences of their conduct. The con-
tempt for the rights of other workmen which
Trades UnionIsm always stimulates, the hatred
of property and the feeling that all civilized
society is ut war with them whenever
they refuse to accept the market rat,

NOT 4 REPUTABLE PEACE-M4EER.

Europe is to be consulted in regard to Egypt
because the Turk is not a reputable peace
maker. 1t is necessary to employ military
force on the Nile The army is under the
orders of Arab, and the sovereign and
his European supporters are openly defed.
The army must be dispersed and the
sovereign rescued. But these ends cannot
be accomplished by diplomatic negotia-
tons and vague threats OF coercion. Moral
force has little effect upon an Eastern military
mob that has won the sympathy of the nation.
1t is physical force that is absolutely REQUIRED.

General Abe " Buford, of Kentucky, seems des-
tined to shock the religious and social sentiments
of all good Kentuckians. lie was lately converted
to religion by an tinerant Evangelist from the
backwoods named Barnes. and gave up, for the time
being his racing stud and betting book He has,
however so far backslidden that he seriously pro-
poses according 10 the latest dispatches to get.up
a true Church of Christ with turf attachment"
The Kentuckians might be imagined as smiling ap-
proyingly at this profauc suggestion. But who
shall express their ind gnalion at the further de-
claration of the doughty trooper and racer that IN
his opinion the " Blue Grass region of Kentucky
was specially designed for the rearing of thorough
bred horses"l This is q revolutionary declaration
of n confirmed dsbelever which will forever ex-
cludc him from the pale of Kcntucky society; for it
has been for ages the confirmed belief OF all true
blue bloodcd kentuckials that The Blue Grass
gion was originally set apart in the grand design of
nature as the one spot on earth on which to rear
beautiful women, chivalrc men and the finest corn
Juice for making Bourbon whiskey. General
Buford would better retreat to a more tcnable posi-
ton than he now holds.

Prisons, hospitals, asylums and almshouses,
from the nature of things, can hardly be pleas
ant places. Perhaps it is due to lack of appre-
citation among visitors of this fact that unne-
cessary fault is sometimes found with institu-
lions of this kind. Still, official investigations
have often shown that abuses exist, and it is
matter of cOngratulation, therefore, that the
Grand Jury declares that the hospitals and
prisons under the care of the Commissioners of
Charities and Correction are in excellent con-
dition.
