THE CLEgELAND STRIKERS.

1t is impossible not to feel sorry for the
Cleveland striker, and the desperation OF
their condition excuses the threatening Ian
guage somo of them hold. But il must be
pointed out that they have from the first taken
a position which no civilized community can
tolerate save at the price of ITS own cohesion.
They have undertaken to prevent the mill
owners from employing other hands in their
place, and owing TO the supincness of the local
authorities they have been permitted to occupy
this dictatoiial attituue for weeks, to the great
injury of the property concerned. 1t is prob
able that this impunity encouraged them TO be-
lieve that they would be able IN the end to gain
their point and now that the mills are being
opened again " it'll new hands the strikers are
very fierce. 1t is indeed greatly TO be deplored

MONTRE1DS DIFFICULTY.

The smallpox is increasing in and ~ ound
Montreal, and yet the French colonlsts refuse
Tn he yaccinatcd or to take any Of the pTccau
tions which experience and enlightenment point
ont. The resulting embarrassment to Mon
t,eaI is of the eravest character, and it would
extend to the entire Dominion were it not pos
sible by rigid quarantine to conflne the disease
To its present limits. But the people OF Mon
treal and the surrounding country who arc III
telligent enough to understand the need Of
bvoienic measures find themselves practically
denriyed of all the benefit of civilization
through the perversity, ignorance and supersti-
tion of their fellow-citAens. They are in effect
reduced to the condition of the brsotlcd
peasants of Spain and Southern France, who
mob the doctors and accuse the authorities OF
,preading disease among them purposely. On
the mathematical principle thai nothing is
stronger than its weakest part, the Montreal
community is in a bad condition. The French
population refuse to register their sick, or to be
vaccinated, or to employ any precautions at all.
They appear to be encouraged Ill their folly by
their pricsts. who tell them that the smallpox
is Judgment sent upon them for their sins.
Under these circumstances the English e!e-
ment appears to be, and doubtless is virtually
n,ralvzed. The French residents are so excited
and so bigoted that nothing can be done with
them by reason aud persuasion. They imagine
that they arc defending their rights in refusing
IN he yaccnated, and it is clear that in their
present temper nothing short Of crushing
phvsical force would compel them TO do their
duty ms citizens. Naturally there is strong in
Jispesition to resort TO heroic measures. No
one can say where the trouble would stop if
once the two races were pitted against one an
other in arms. Certainly there would be for q
time anarchy, bloodshed and desperate con-
fusion, and everybody shrinks from policy
which might involve such consequences
Meanwhile, it is plain to see that Montreal Is
being seriously injured. The city must have
already lost two-thirds OF It's commerce
| Visitors have altogether abandoned it, The
endemic has circed it with Il chain of disease
breeding French villages; and all the while
the smallpox, unchecked by scientific treat
ment. is extending its ravages Seldom has a
| large and recently prosperous city been 81
| afflicted and the worst Of the matter is tina
there is little or no light in the immediate

Cold weather does not kill smallpox germs

winter brings no brighter hopes with it, If TIL

YARD AND MS FRIENDS Confident.
A year and four months have passed since
the disclosure of the ruin of the Marine Bank
and Of the remarkable operations of Ferdinand
Ward startled the country. 1t became appar-
ent in a few days after the crash that the
syindling of hich the firm OF Grant N Nard
WAS the centre had assumed enormous proper
tons and involved great many people III
was perrrctly clear, too, that many of the eX-
nerienced and shrewd business men who had
proiited by Wards system Of finance had
pocketed their gains with full knowledge that
there must be something outraSeously wrong
back of the 20 per cent per month That th'y
were getting for their money. No man OF Coal
mon sense who knew anything about loans,
contracts or Wall Street operations OF any sort
could suppose that such enormous interest
could be paid on any principal legitmatrly
and honestly applied. Ward has confessed III
court what every body of intelligence knew long
ago, that the deposits Of dupes went to swell
he stealings of knaves. But OF all the people
involy ed in this great scheme OF vlllany only
James d. Fish has suffered any punishment.
A remarkable feature of the whole affair Is
the serene confidence and good spirits that
Ward and the men who shared in his plumber
seem TO eniov. Ward does not seem disturbed
by his position, nor do the men who seized All
of the assets that they could grab appear to be
in the least uneasy. Ii is only the public that
is anxious and disheartcned over the bcwidcr-
ing miscarriage of justice in this case. Ward
appears to expect that in some mysterious way
he will escape with light penalty and after nc
has served n short term in prison Will be able
to live in luxury on the stolen fortune that some
one NAV be keeping in store for hm-the same
one, perhaps, who is now paying his board bills
in Ludlow Street Jail, where he is surrounded
with every comfort and never suffers even for
lack of diver sion. And the men who drew their
20 per cent per month while the firm OF Grant
g. Ward lasted and divided among themselves
all of the assets that they could lay hands on,
seem to feel even more secure of Il present OF
ease and future of luxury. The thought OF
being forced 10 give up any OF their Spots
apparently never enters their minds.
1t is grave thing for any community to lose
confidence in its courts and to look with sus-
picion upon its prosecuting authorities. But
the failure to punish Ward aud to recover from
his associates the plumber of the 20 per cent per
month system has caused much hgy feeling IN
this city. There may be yet an extremely UNI
pleasant day of reckOning for the persons who
are responsible for the present complications.
