THE CRACK OF CLUBS.
on RIOTERS HEADS RINGS OUT ABOVE THE
CRIES OF THE MOB.
Renewal Of the Scenes of Disorder Among the
Striking Street Car Employees in New
York Glty-A Peaceful
Solution.

New YORK, August 26.-TwO cars start
ed out early on the Broadway line. They
have a strong police protection and no
crowd is tolerated anywhere that might by
any possibility Obstruct speedy transit.
When car No. 29O of the Broadway line
got down to FOrty-fourth street, about 10
o'clock this morning, it was attacked by a
mob of rOughs and strikers and thrown
from the track. wild scene followed for
few moments. The crack Of pOlicemen'S
clubs upon the heads of rOughs could be
heard above the yells and curses Of the
mob. 1t took but few moments Of Wig
orous work by the police to clear Broad
way and send the strikers flying down the
side streets. A number Of cars are being
run by the Broadway road, each car carry
ing six policemen, and the streets are also
FILLED WITH BLUE COATS.
The mob is in bad temper, but none of
the rOughs have done more than hurl q
stone through the car window and then
seek shelter of some alley way.
4 strong force of police have been sta
toned at the FOrty-fourth street switch,
and orders have been issued that il is TO
be protected at all hazards. Captain
Killilea said so to the police, and intima-
ted that if any car fails TO get Though,
and the officers on it return alive they
might as we'll resign from the force.
| 1t is feared that unless there is
some settlement before SundOwn there will
be a general tie-up tomorrow. 4 gang
of strikers and other rOwdies have been
haunting the stables of the belt line, at
Fitty-third street and Ninth avenue, all
day, anxious for fight. No cars will be
run from there to-day. There were several
slight disturbances, but the police on guard
are preserving order.
A plot is on foot to
BLOW Up
| the Third Avenue railroad depot, but pre-
cautions have been taken against such an
occurrence. 4 threatening mob near the
Broadway stables was quickly dispersed
| by the police.
In a conference this afternoon between
the Broadway railroad authorities and the
spokesmen of the strikers, the latter ten
dered the renewal OF the proposition to try.
! the new schedule of six trips per
day, with Il promise that if after
faithful trial of four days it was not sat
istactOry the old one would be restored.
This proposition was considered until after
midnight and was accepted. They will
return to work tomorrow morning. The
non-uniOn men now at work will not be
discharged.
The Belt Line Company will submit 4
proposition tomorrow. A demand has
been made on the Sixth Avenue road for
reinstatement of discharged men and three
days given for an answer The FOrty-Sec-
Ond street line will probably not be tied

Gle contributed TO the Tribune by o. J.
Hollister which The HERALD noticed
editoriallr, we find reference is made to
Mr.. HiIes' article OF September 18th.
and a portion of it quoted. This led as
to hunt up a copy of the article in
question. On careful reading of it
one is struck with the evident intention
of Mr.. Hiles to be fair in his discussion
of the subject, and indeed we may say
the article is we'll written, and perhaps
as strong a case made out against polyg-
amy as the enemies of that system of
marriage may hope to see. It is be-
cause of this and the fairness with
which the subject is discussed, that we
esteem it worthy of our attention, es
pecially since Mr.. II. pre-
sents a view of the question not
often, if ever, referred to by
those who speak or write against the
Mormon system of marriage.

ESSENTIAL DIFFERENCES.

Mormon celestial marriage is in
Varisbly judged as to what its results
will be by the polygsmy of the east-a
judgement which is unfair since the
relations of women to the institution
are not at all alike. Writers on eastern
civilization see woman degraded, en-.
shaved and there having sprung
up q sentimental admiration for
the one wife system of marriage, mono
gamists rush without thinking to the
conclusion that Woman's degradation
and enslavement result from the systt m
of polygamy common in the Orient.
This is an error. The great religions of
the east - Mohammedanism, Budd
hism, and the teachings of Confucius-
teach that woman has merely been
created for mans pleasure, and that
she is an inferior creature-in short,
his slave. Mormonism does not teach
that doctrine. 1t is a misrepresenta-
ton of Mormonism when such charge
is made. Mormonism does teach that
4 woman's complete salvation and exal-
tation depend upon her marriage
to righteous man, but the
principle is reciprocal, for man is as de-
pendent upon woman for his complete
salvation as the woman is upon the man
in Mormon theology. There are
heights to which neither can ascend
without the other. 1t is to this primary
diffeTencei in the idea of the relationship
which woman bears to man that the
difference between oriental polygamy
and Mormon celestial marriage may
be attributed. And the difference will
be found on examination to be so great
thar as the heavens are higher than

RREM1sEs AND ooNcLus1oNs.

Taking for his premises principle laid
down by Herbert Spencer in his work
entitled the Data of Ethics, viz.
That only where altruIstic relations in the
domestic group have reached highly devel-
oped forms, do there arise conditions max
ing posi- Die full development of alTruisttc
relations in the political group"
Mr.. H. concludes that there cannot b
In polygamous families that altruism
which is the foundation of that wider so =
ciaI altruism. for the following reasons {:
"If have numerous sets of children, 1t
must follow that my altruistIc feeling and
effort will be dispersed over my many fam
HES, and thus neither Will obtain from me
that full measure of feeling and effort that
could bestoW on one, and which is req lisite
to fit them to higher social state, and more
over, they not having in their family life
experienced q just measure of altruistic
feeling and effort in their behalf In their
rearing and education. children, necesssr-
lily, will grow up egolstic. or in other words
animal and selfish"
Upon these reasons Mr.. II. is willing
to rest his case. Had he been making
an argument in favor of restricting 8
plurality of wives to the higher type of
man. to men possessing and capable of
exercising that altruistic disposition
n cessary to the rearing of large fami-
Iies-and that there are such men is
unquestionsble-he would have had a
good case, but that is not the point.
But the reasons he advances he would
have considered sufficient to abolish the
plural wife system altogether. His po-
sition would force US to believe, that
there are no men possessing natures
sufficiently noble or capable of exercis.
ing an altruism sufficient to rear more
than one family, position which is
not true; and there being men of such
altruistie development, that they are
capable of rearing more than one
family, without disturbing the rational
altruism of society. it must follow that
it would not be wrong for such men to
engage in the practice of plurality of
wives.
But before proceeding further in this
line, it is necessary to our argument to
examine other considerations.

"
ELEMENTS OF CONDUCT.

Before going Immediately to the trial
of this question under the rule laid down
Mr.. H. mentioned some other things
necessary TO consider here. He refers
to two elements of conduct:
Fir.t, what is called egoistic or self
regarding conduct, which consid cred
purely, has no other object than Sc lf-satis-
elton Second, what is called altruistic
conduct, which is so regardful of others,
and which has in view solely the happiness
and satisfaction of others.
Both of these are natural elements in
human conduct. But we find this differ
ence in their operations, that egoism or
selfishness is SO marked in It's develop
ment in man, that it needs not the aid
of laws to foster its growth
but on the contrary much of
our legislation is made with a
view to restraining it. Where on
the other hand, altruism or regard for
others, has need of the assistance of
Jaws to secure due attention to it, as
mans disposition to regard the happi-
ness or interest of others is not SO fully
developed in him as to properly balance
the relative claims of egoism and altru
ism. ut is in the due and just balance
of these two elements" says Mr.. II. and
we assent to it, THAT all mortality con-
sists, AID on which human progress de-
ponds = and whatever disturbs that
balance must in the nature of things b.
wrong" Egoism is so firmly embed :
ded in human nature that it may be
left to look after itself; it is the develop
ment of rational altruism which socie-
ty and governments have need to con-
Germ themselves about, for it is upon
the development of that rational regard
for the happiness and interests of 9th
ers, that the progress of society and
the attainment of higher civilization
depends; and that conduct which pre-
vents that development must be wrong
we admit. The point sought to be made
by Mr.. n. is that Mormon celestial
marriage does prevent that develop
ment. And upon this point the ques-
ton turns,

ON NEW GROUND.

Mr.. Hiles comedies that taking the
authority of Diety as the sole ground
of duty, and His communicated will
as the only ultimate standard of right
and wrong, the Mormon hits the God
fearing people who are opposed to poly
gamy in weak point IN their armor.
Doubtless having seen the utter failure
of those who argue against Mormon
polygamy, and at the same time claim
that the authority of Diety is the sole
ground of duty, and His communicated
viii the only ultimate standard of
right and wrong, Mr.. b. is for abandon
ing that position. and leaving the will of
God entirely out of the question.
Theists, and especially those who be-
lieve th at God has communicated His
will to man, will never consent to put
the revealed will of Deity out of the
question. But as We believe that every
truth IN the uniVerse-Whether revealed
from God, discovered by the resear-
Veloped to our consciousness by the
experiences of man-must be in har-
mony with every other truth, we are
willing to say - starting with the
postulate that what God reveals must
be true-thst Mormon polygsmy as a
revealed truth must necessarily harmon
ize with whatever other truth may have
been demonstrated through mans re-
search or experience. We would say in
passing, however, that very many
things held to be demonstrated truths
by men in enc generation, turn out to
be demonstrated follies by the succeed
ing one. So that taking the limited ex-
perience of nan, and his limited knowl-
edge of the nature of things and their
to each other as a standard
of what is right conduct and what's
wrong is, doubtless, setting up very
questionable standard by which to de-
termine what Is right and what wrong.
Nevertheless We are ready to submit
that if it can be proven beyond qEes
tioning that Mormon celestial marriage
is in conflict with any known principles
of moral truth which should regulate
the relationship of the sexes, or
the relationship of individuals to
society, there would be strong
reasons for believing that the
commanding its practice is
not of God, and establish a sound
reason why it should be suppressed. In
making this statement We come out of
the stronghold where the religionist
may successfully maintain his right to
practice polygsmy on the ground that
his God commands it; and walk out
deliberately upon the ground chosen
by Mr.. Hiles upon which to test the
or wrongfulness OF Nor
mon celestial marriage.

The Eastport Fire

EAsTPoRT, Maine, October 16.-The
loss by the Are is now estimated at
$4,000. There are no means, as yet,
of estimating the insurance. Several
safes were opened to-day with better
results than was ex Dected. The repor:
that the insurance books and reports
were destroyed was q mistake. All the
sayings BANKS, the Frontier Bank and
postofhce books were found TO be safe
or nearly so, as were the insurance
papers. The most serious part of the
calamity is that q great number
OF families are homeless and destitute
and out of employment. One hundred
families without homes; many of
whom formerly were quite comfortable
are now living with friends. The suf
fering will increase as the weather gets
colder. A relief committee has been
organized and some aid has been re-
ceived, but no, sufficient to relieve
the temporary wants.

"rEN HeURs,OR NOTHING. +"

When Phil. Armour, the great meat
gpacker of Chicago, was consulting on
Saturday, With a representative of the
Knights Cg-I.s5or who had gone to him
to endes9ec to arrange the dispute
between the employer and his men, a
message was handed to the former, tel
ling him ell the Knights in his estab-
Iishnents had been called out. Hitherto
only the pork packers had gone ont on
strike, lie butchers and beef-paL kers
continuing their work, but yesterday
the striking Knights prevailed on the
beef Iner to 20 with them, and the
shops AID pens ,were deserted by all
members of the great labor organisa
ton. The news reached Armour at q
bad time; that is to say, bad time for
the knights. It broke up the confer
ence, and Mr.. Armour, declaring "Ten
hours or nothing" left. That
remark means that the men will
accept the employers terms and work
ten hours day, or that he will close
his-establishmentsa it really,means that
the men must accept the terms and
labor ten hours, for the works will not
be closed, as in few days there will be
ten men applying for every vacancy.
Armour is the ,weaIthiest of all the
packers. and under the circumstances
1t is Idle for the men to engage In a
fight against him. He is master of the
situation, first, because he is right il
assuming the privilege of managing his
own business in hisOwn way and max

proffer to work for him; and, second
because being right and within the law
he can command the authority and
force the city, county and State for
his protection. against the.violence and
reyengeful acts of the locked cut men.
If the men who have gone out are
wise they will accept the inevitable,
conform to it, and return to work on
the terms offered, remaining until they
can command better, terms, and if the
leaders of the knights of Labor organi-

religionists to-day applauded the con-

they execrated the Mormons for taking
