SERIOUS FACTS FOR WORKINGMEN.

A st. Louis man who Is evidentl,
a man OF large intelligence and DOS.
sessea of unusual means of informa,
ton, writes to the New York Sun
about the results Of the great strike
whereby the Gould, or Missouri Pa
chic system of railroads was sought
to be practically destroyed or rendered
valusless. The writer sums up these
results under four heads, as follows:
First-When Martin Irons, the
chief of the striking movement, first
ordered the general strike, there were
fo0o skilled and unskiled mechanics
In the employment of that great sys-
tenn. Only ZOO of these 1900 have
been taken back, while the 400
places made vacant have nearly every
one been filed by men as competent
as the strikers and who flocked from
all parts of the country to take adj
vantage of this opportunity 10 secure
good employment.
Seoond-The suffering caused by
the strike to the late employees has
not yet reached actual necessity for
food and shelter, (thougb in many
cases this danger impends), but is due
to anxiety, modification, humiliation,
the certainty that families must be,
temporarily at least, broken up while
their heads go forth to seek work and
the despair consequent upon these.
More than these, the loss of little
homes that had been bought and partly |
paid for with the savings of wages
earned by labor; the giving up of good |
school privileges which the children
have enjoyed in all these railroad
towns, and the necessity of accepting
employment wherever it is offered, at
much less rate of wages than the
Missouri Pacific system has been pay
ing, all go to- make up parts of the
suffering consequent upon the strike,
and are staring the late strikers in the
face in all these railroad towns.
Third-Martin Irons-the great
leader and commander of these labor
ing mems practically a wanderer,
almost an outeast, and could hardly
venture in safety in places where
few weeks ago he ruled men like the
commander of an army. The curses
with which he denounced the presi-
dent of the railway system-Jay
Gould-have reacted upon himself,
and the men whom he ruled now
speak of him as he once urged them
to speak of Jay Gould.
Fourth-The Knights of Labor or.
ganization has practically ceased to
e xist among the employees of the Mis-
souri, Pacific system.
The TIMES has nothing to say as to
the facts and figures stated by the
author of the foregoing letter. They
present an awful picture, however,
md furnish food for deep thought.
But the TINES, in behalf of working
men anywhere, and of the persons
employed in its office, all of whom,
rom proprietor to Office boy, are la
oorers, desires to call attention to the
'act stated eloquently by another Ia ,
boring man, that however strong labor !
nay deem itself when united, its
members will cry "God help us"
when capital upites against it. Capt.
al can cease work and live. When
abor ceases work it will starve.

\ White Slave.

savannah News.
An article in a southern journal, few
days ago, recalled the following incident
which is doubtless remembered 10y many
people in the State.
Soon after Texas was admitted into
the Union there was a rush Of enlsvacts
from the oder slave States 10 the new
and fertile lands Of the southwest. Old
plantations were abandoned, or sold for
nominal sum, and planters with their
families, slaves and stock omisrated in
large numbers. The route from the up
per tier of States was across Georgia to
Alabama, and thence by beat To gulf
port. Apalachicola or Mohi!c, fiom
whence vessels were chartered for New
Orleans or Galveston. Sometimes, how
ever, the entire journey was overland.
From party Of these cmisrants while
they were travelling through Georgia. II
mulatto boy disappeared oll one occastna.
lie was fine looking and in,clli cent
boy.
In lSj3 the people Of atlrivins city in
this State were surprised to hear that a
popular and energetic young merc',ant,
IA prominent leader in society aud a mem
ber of fashionable church, had been
arrested and lolSed in Jail. and their in
dgnation knew no hounds when they
learned that he was claimed to BE- 4 run'
away slave Of a Texas planter 1t ap
peared that the planter had received IN
formation from Il slave dealer, one Of a
class who kept posted as to runaways
respecting the whereabouts of his former
slave. A writ of habeas corpus was sued
out; witnesses were summoned from tn,
planters former place Of residence, Nir
ginia, to prove the identity of the prs
oner, and the best legal talent w. e'n
plOyed on both -iir..
The examination extended over q Pc
