ANOTHER WILD SCHEME.

The Tennessee bondholders have hit
Upon a new plan for securing the $12,000,-
900 of securities which they control. The
State is willing to issue new bonds at the
rate of fifty cents on the dollar, but the
creditors are indisposed to compromise.
Somebody has suggested that if the gen
eral Government can be induced to parcel
out its surplus revenues among the States
on the condition that the holders of un-
disputed claims against such States shall
be preferred creditors, and in fact be paid
out of the public revenues before the dis
tribution is made, it would be much
more desirable settlement than at fifty
per cent Off 1t certainly would, but be-
fore any such cranky scheme as that can
ever be forced through Congress the grand
army OF bondholders will be glad to settle
for the interest alone and let the principal
go.
Had there been no precedent for it, it
were difficult to believe that such u
scheme was seriously contemplated. Yet
even so conspicuous statesman as Mr.
Blaine not long ago recommended SINH
lar disposition of the public revenues,
leaving it optional with the States, how
ever, asto how the funds thus acquired
should be applied, and even so great a
man as Wharton Barker of Pennsylvania
esteems himself to be made like wild
proposition. General Logan, it will be
recollected, advised distribution of the
whisky tax for school purposes, and this
idea had at least the merit of explicitness
and a humanitarian end in view.
But it will be very cold day in the
history Of the American Government
fact the glacial period will have resumed
its sway in the temperate zone-before any
proposition of the kind least of all a
proposition to pay OIL the bondholders ol
the several States out of the public Treas
ury, even if there were surplus there tc
draw ON, will find favor with any Admin
istratiop orany Congress.

The american yesterday printed the

THE LESSON OF A STRIKE.

In the case of the strcet-car strike at
Chicago precisely the same condition Of
things ensued, though on smaller scale,
that occurred during the great railway
strike. The moment that the companies
undertook to move their cars-which was
not only a right they had under the law,
but an obligation imposed by their charter
and this movement was opposed by
force, breach of the peace was com
mitted. The disorderly and irresponsible
elements of the community, as they never
fail to do on such occasions, rushed pell-
nell to the front, and the strike got away
with the strikers.
Probably not one in fifty of the rioters
who engaged in the disturbance, threaten
ing destruction of the companies property
and resisting the officers assigned to pro-
tect it could give an ineligible idea of
what the trouble was all about. Instead
Of giving strength to the strike they fore
ordained it to defeat. Instead of giving it
dignity and character they made it dis
reputable and this is one Of the most
formidable dangers to which the interests
of honest and legitimate labor are exposed.
Whenever strike degenerates, by force
of circumstances over which its leaders
have no control, into lawless mob, the
original object of the movement is lost
sight of in the melee, and the preservation
of society from the foes TO all order be-
comes the leading issue Thus Socialism
is made the helpmeet of Capital.
No community can tolerate mob vio-
lence. Public sentiment which is based
upon the instinct Of public safety will al
ways insist upon the suppression of law
lessness at any cost. Neither can any
cause succeed, however just its claims
may be, which does not command the
sympathy of right-thinking men. AS
soon as it falls into the hands or under
the feet of an unreasoning rabble it is lost
Hence the wisdom in all cases of first
seeking to secure by peaceable arbitration
that redress which is otherwise of doubt
ful and dangerous accomplishment That
it could have been done in Chicago is
shown by the fact that it had to be done

LEVI j. North died on Long Island yes
terday. He was born in 1914, and for
half century was a famous circus rider
and manager. His was the old-timc cir
Gus before the days of three rings and
white elephants. He ran away from
home when boy to join meagre stroll
ling circus, and became the best bareback
rider and tumbler of his day. He went
to Europe in 1888, and like Mrs. farley
performed before the crowned heads and
made a great deal of money. He returned
to this country in the forties, and or
ganizing a circus, travelled proiitably
through the Southern States. He settled
in Chicago in 1855 and was in couple of
years elected one of its aldermen. He
built theatre. His latter years were
spent in Brooklyn.

HONOR TO THE RANK AND FILE

Now that the President has assigned
the recent graduates from West Point to
lieutenantcies in the army, would it not be
graceful act in him to repair the neglect
of the preceding Administration and
recognize the courage, endurance and
patriotism of the American enlisted SOL
dier by appointing Sergeant ID. l.. Brain
erd, the hero of Lieutenant Greely's Arctic
Expedition, TO one of the vacant lieuten-
antcies yet remaining.
Sergeant Braincrd is young man of
education and is gentleman, and proved
himself in the ice-bound North the true
ideal of an American soldier. TO this
day he feels more pride in having been
one of three-and the only survivor
who planted the Stars and Stripes farther
North than any other human being has
ever yet been, than in his patient and un-
complaining labors of the last dreadful
months before the rescue, when his cool
head and good judgment made the all too
scanty stores of the party last long enough
to save the few whom Schley found ten
anted in terribly wasted frames.
Last winter Mr.. Arthur promised
friends of Brainerd that he should be ap.
pointed, and at that time q vacancy ex-
listed in one of the infantry regiments, but
when the time came for action the urgency
of the Attorney General secured for his
own stepson the appointment that another
had earned as nobly as any man who ever
wore army blue.
President Cleveland can do himself and
his Administration high honor by ap
pointing Brainerd to one of the present
eighteen vacancies in the line, and at the
same time will do much to stimulate th'
rank and file of the army to deeds o
heroic daring in time of need by present
ing some prospect of honorable recogni
