The cholera is staying its thousands in
the cities of Spain and from their streets
at night comes the muilled roll of hearses
on their way to suburban cemeteries,
while the homes of those who can afford
to get away from the presence of the
scourge are empty and deserted. But the
gloomy picture slightened byaray ofhope
which was wanting in former epidemics.
Medical science, armed with all the re-
search of the nineteenth century, CON
fronts the disease and essays, where
it cannot stay its progress, to
lessen its virulence. Like another
Jenner, the honest and courageous DIR.
Feiran stands forth, strong in confidence
of the efficacy of his incubation theory,
and unquestionably doing much to arm
the people against the disease by lessen
ing their fear of it even should he
fail to render them physically impervious
to its attacks. Upon the real
efficacy of DIR. Ferrans treatment the
medical freternity is divided, but the
statistics thus far collected make an
encouraging showing. For their chief
argument the practitioners of the
Ferran school turn to the town
of Alcira, where the proportion OF
cases among inoculated rreinoculatedt c
those among non-inoculated have been as
SO to 2Gl, while the deaths in the same
categories were as 10 to 100. But
Alcira is an exceptionally well-to-dc
town where the epidemic has not beer
severe and more convincing tests art
needed to establish the value of inoceu
lation.

CHICAGO, July g.. Groups of strikers
and sympathizers began to gather ut the
car barns on Western avenue as early aS
3 O'Clock this morning. II had been re.
ported that large reinforcemeIits were on
their way from the stock yards to aid iii
resisting the officers in their attempts to-
get cars started, and there was no little
talk of possible bloodshed. Soon, how
ever, striking conductor appeared with
the information that the president of the
association had accepted scheme for
settling differences by arbitration and that
no attempt would at present be made to
start cars out. The arbitration COM
mittee, he said, was to be COM
posed of citizens of which two
members would be chosen by the
strikers two by the company and
Mayor Harrison to be the fifth. At
4.30 there We're no indications of trouble,
and less than 25 men were about the
barns. There are rumors, however, that
the hour for operations by the police Inns
been extended to 6 and that riot may
| then ensue.

Speaking for that portion of our CONF
munity which, while making no pretence
to any sanetity of its own, entertains a
high and abiding respect for true
religion in others and is sincerely
DESTROYS of seeing protesting Christians
of all denominations live such consistent
lives as shall tend to draw the irreligious
multitude within the folds of the Church
we are even more pained than Disguised
over the slanderous recriminations grow
ing out OF the Mowbray case. We
believe in religion, in that bond between
humanity and divinity seen more or less
clearly by and influencing more Or
less favorably all peoplesin all ages, from
the most ignorant savage up TO the most
enlightened Caucasian and we believe in
Christianity as UNNECESSARILY the highest
and most benefcent development of this
Unborn yearning unto higher and better
life and closer communion with the great
source of all life. We believe that this
would be a wretched world without some
kind of religion, and, so believing, respect
the man who honestly lives up to the
light OF his creed, be he Christian, Jew,
Mohammedan or Buddhist.
For this reason we are panied when
those chosen to be leaders in any branch
of the church forget their high calling
and descend SO low as to dabble in
billingsgate and Islander. The cause Of
religion must suffer from such misbehaviol
on the part of its ordained promoters
such treason to the teachings of theii
Lord, whose counsel to His disciples ST
any man smite thee upon the right cheek
turn to him the other also' is surely as
binding now as it was eighteen hundred
years ago. Human nature is prone Va
err, but the people outside of the church
look for, and they have the right to loel
for better things from those whit
aspire to be the mouthpieces of Hin
who, when He was reyiled, reviled MOI
again. If such men find themselves un.
able to follow where He has led, to prac.
tice what they preach, to imbibe in some
faint degree Mt least the spirit of the
Lords prayer, then let them in the name
of consistency and for the credit of the
church come down from their pulpits
withdraw from the Christian fold and
from the ayowed level of the unregenerate
man fight out their unchurchly battles.
Then would the irreligious be estopped
from saying: Behold these holy men
theyare nobetter than you or l, after ALL =

CHICAGO, July notwithstanding the
riotous demonstrations yesterday after
noon, the West Division Street Railway
Company sent ont 32 of its cars Mt z. 30
o'clock this morning on the Madison,
Randolph, Lake and Van Buren, street
lines. Six or eight policemen ride
patrolled by heavy reserve force. The
early down town cars were all we'll
patronized, ladies and working girls con-
stituting the bulk of the passengers. Out
wardly everything is quiet along the sew
eral street car routes, crowds not being
permitted to assemble.
The car driver, Wallace Chaffee, who
was assaulted by the mob last night, is at
the county hospital in precarious con-
dition. Eight persons have been arrested
for participation in the disturbance of yes
terday afternoon. Pending settlement
of the strike, the residents of the west
division are dependent very largely upon
the express wagons and other improyised
conveyances by which to reach the bust
ness portion of the city, and are com
PEELED to pay 10 cents fare.
The Times is the only paper that has
expressed any decided views toward end
ing the present street car strike. It saws
this morning "There can be no question
that the blockade should be broken at
once at whatever cost. The spasmodic
movement of few cars loaded with
police will not accomplish this most
necessary result, for it is well understood
that the people will not travel
on cars under such conditions. Persons
who care for their own safety will not
take the risks, and the number of those
willing to pay for a ride with the chance
of having their heads broken and fighting
their way through is exceedingly small. !"
The Times has no advice to offer the
parties in the disturbance as to the mode
or terms of settlement, but it insists
that the embargo on the trade of this city
should be raised without further DELAY.

Mayor Harrison of Chicago, on Satur-
day, sent letters to the striking street Car
drivers and the company, advising arbi-
tration. The strikers and their friends
or Mt least the majority-were willing to
try arbitration, but il WINS learned Sun
day morning that the company had re-
fused the mayors proposition. The
president of the company, in explanation
of its action said it was unjust to ask of u
company which was acting in strict con-
formity with the laws of the state that il
place itself ON nm even footing with men
who had taken possession of its property
and who had for several days been in
open hostility and defiance to the law.
He added, that it was the mayors
duty to enable the company to run
its cars, and he should discharge
that duty promptly, or admit that he is
unable or unwilling to do so, in which
case the sheriff or governor could be ap-
piled to for protection. Mayor Harrison
issued proclamation last night giving
notice that as the West Division Street
Railway Company has notified him of its
intention to run its cars to-day in accord
ance with its chartered rights for the sake
of peace and the good name of Chicago,
people must refrain from congregating on
the streets when the cars are run until all
excitement shall have subsidized and must
move ON when requested to do so by the
police. The police are notified in the
proclamation that they must protect the
property of the street car company ut all
hazards.
At the regular Sunday meeting of the
Socialists, Sunday, the text for all the
speakers was the strike. There was an
unusually large crowd, and the harangues
We're unusually sanguinary. John Henry,
for instance, said that the time Ind come
for all Socialists and others who hated
law and order to rise up and burn and
kill. "How many of you have guns and
pistols 7" he demanded fiercely, II have,
and l." were answers from all parts of the
crowd. '"rhen get them ready" he re-
sumed. SIN n few days, perhaps to-
morrow, we may want to use them" The
speaker pointed out, amid great applause,
how himself and his hearers could march
down the boulevards- highways of
the purse-proud and aristocratfc- and
sweep them from the face of the earth.
He named prominent citizens and capt
talists rs enemies to mankind, and con
demned the strikers on account of their
leniency with their oppressors. Other
speakers also condemn the strikers for the
same reason.
