THE ERA OF EASE AND LEISURE.
An Advocate of Early Closing Whose Heart
Bleeds for the OverwOrked Barkeeper.

A sardonic bystander here observed that the
whole scheme was PROBABLY in the interest of the
saloon keeper and the cigar man, as the clerks
WOULD have more time for indulgence in rum and
tobacco under the early closing rule, and the re-
suit would be much profit to the enterprising
dealers in smoke and spirits.
The merchant refused to entertain any such
mean and sordid view of the matter. "No,n he
said, "the gentlemen who are in the early-clos
ing movement are high-minded philanthropists,

CHIEF ENGINEER ARTHUR.

The Engineers Have No Grievances-Views
ON the Eight-Hour Question.
CLEVELAND, March PIP. NJ. Arthur, Grand
Chief of the Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers. returned to the city to-day from Chi
cago. where he had been summoned to assist in
the settlement Of trouble on the Chicago, Bur
lington s. Quincy railway. Mr.. Arthur said that
the interview with him sent from Chicago by the
Associated Press fully covered the subject.
"We shall continue to run our locomotives as
long as they are at hand, and the engineers are
assured of their personal safety
Have the engineers passed upon the question
of joining in the striker
sNo. It is matter that does not concern us,
and SO long as we have no grievances the men
will continue at work.
Mr.. Arthur smiled when his attention was
called to the proceedings of the Knights of Labor
at the Armory meeting Friday night where he
was severely criticised.
s.Well, it is not possible that all men should
think alike he said. 'sIn the first place, those
that was misrepresented. The man that says [
am not as good friend of the laboring man as
there is In this country, asserts an untruth It
is my sentiment that as long as a man has
health and strength, he should work as steadily
as possible, as many hours as he can in justice
save as much as he can. Then, when he is un-
able to work, he can live upon the reward of his
toiln
'sBut they charge you with having said that
fewer hours of labor mean more time to be spent
in saloons9"

These people that are clamoring loudest for the
reduction are, in all probability, Just the class
that would make that use Of their time. It does
not apply, however to all workingmen There
is a large class that would devote the time to

Of Labor were present, and the local executive
committee publicly expressed their determine
ton to assist the citizens in carrying out the
law and in protecting railroad property. In
order to test their professions, the county Of
fcers, with number of leading citizens, visited
the round-house Of the Iron Mountain road

The sheriff and posse boarded the locomo-

had steam up, and were about to run
the engine out Of the yard, when
a mob of about four hundred strikers confronted
the engine caught the switchman and officer on
guard by their necks, threw them aside, and
then switched the engine on to q side-track.
This outrage has resulted In the withdrawal OF
all confidence from the Knights, as 1t was direct

by the local committee. The citizens have re-
solved to obtain State aid. Sheriff Hamilton
has telegraphed to Governor Hughes asking for
militia, and has been authorized to cali out the
Gate City Guards, of this city. The guards have
been notified to hold themselves in readiness to
respond at short notice. Many of the better
class of Knights deprecate the course being pur-
sued, and there Is no doubt many Withdrawals
from the organization will take place The citi-
zens are on the alert and any further acts of
violence will be resisted by force.

him to make the journey. His physicians have
advised that such journey would do him
great deal of good, and he has it under consider
