The Philadelphia Ledger is authorized TO saw
that "all reports TO the effect that Mrs Sartoris
has applied or contemplates applying for di-
Sorce or separation from her husband are en-
fireiy without foundation and cruel wounds to

statement ought To and doubtless will have
the effect to check discussionof the particular

VIII De observed that the Ledger does not feel
able or at least says nothing to contradict the
popular impression that the married lite of
Mrs Sartoris Is not a happy one, nor to oppose

coarse, selfish fellow, far from being worthy the
jewel he carried away from the White House.

Can 10 be possible that the xplosives placed
from time to time under the street cars of ST.
Louis have been put upon the track by the OFF,
GERS of the companies or by their procurement,
In order 20 bring the striking employees of the
several roads and their sympathzers into dis
repute before the public? 1t seems hardly cred
ibie that the strikers themselves or their
friends can be guilty, rs charged, OF such crimi-
nal FOLLY. Nothing could do more TO esfrange
public sentiment from their cause or TO bring
strikes into disfavor every where than To resort
To measures at once unjustifiable and dan.
gerous. 50 long as peaceabIe and proper
methods are adopted to secure adequate wages
for labor honestly performed those engaged in
strikes will have the active sympathy and
moral support Of right thinking people but
the moment they imperil life, destroy property
or interfere with She legal rights of Others SEN
tiDent toward them changes and they become
objects of suspicion and dread. They are no
longer deserving members OF community in
search of rights. but violators of the law aud
enemies Of society at large. II seems therefore.
as intimated above, that the outrages referred
To- must have been instigated In the interests OF
the roads, rather than with q view to helping
the cause of the strikers. The latter can GER
ttinly never afford to place formidable an
argument In tae hands of those opposed to
them as the crime Of putting innocent lives in

may be specified that at Boston the sales OF
