THE STRIKE,
Causing Delayed Trains Through Danger
of Wrecks

In the present strike on the Gould
system, the Knights of Labor or their
sympathizers seem to be going beyond
the usual bounds of res son and humanity
in their attempts to gain their point
with the railroad bosses. The burning
Of bridges and derailment of trains by
pulling spikes from the rails while stop
ping the transmission of Uncle Sans
mails and thus antagonizing the strong
arm OF the government, 10 Onlr one IN
popular feature of the strike. But the
attempts to derail trains and cause &C
cidents and loss OF life is the most repre-
hensible and cowardly feature of the
trouble. Lately the international and
Great Northern trains have been great
" delayed in their arrival in this city,
and the LIGHT Is informed that the delay
is caused by orders TO run slowly over
tracks on account OF the action Of the
strikers or others in attempting TO burn
bridges and in pulling spikes from the
rails along the lines. Says telegram
from, Marshall this morning 1.-The north
bound passenger train was derailed
mile and half from Marshall at D O'Clock
this morning, caused by the spikes hav-
ing been drawn and the rail misplaced"
The railroad company issued a circular
this morning addressed 40 all law
abiding citizens of Harrison County" in
which the above fact, and also an at
tempt made Monday night to burn a
bridge near here, were fully set forth.
The circular says: 1.-The time has ar
rived when those who class themselves
as included in the above caption. wheth-
er members Of secret organizations or
not, should come promptly forward, and
by their deeds, not simply words, align
themselves with sworn officers OF the
Government to preserve order, suppress
violence and aid in carrying out the
mandates of the United States Circuit
Court. viii the honest wOrkingmen Of
Marshall, irrespective of all cOnsidera-
tiOns except the preservation Of law and
order, stand supinely by and thereby
give sanction to such acts which en-
danger the lives of innocent women and
and children by fiends who are disgrace
to manhood"
TO the credit of the Knights of Labor
the following Is due, and also will be
awaited the action of the knights in sup
pressing all lawlessness of this kind:
1.-The Knights held meeting this az
ternoon and condemned the circular in
the strongest terms. The company and
Knights both offer rewards for the ar
rest of the guilty parties"
The train due here at 1915 o'clock
last night did not arrive, and a telegram
TO the dispatcher here announced IL
would not arrive until II or o'clock to-
day, on account Of the danger set forth
above.

TIE New York Times.

New YORK, March 1.-THE Times has
the following editorial: The Knights OF
Labor at St. Louis seem to be growing
desperate and are threatening to stop
passenger trains, which would add
greatly to the Inconvenience and dis
tress which they ale causing. They are
also trying to create grievances among
the railroad workers at East st. Louis,
on the Illinois side of the river. In
Texas, the boycott, at certain points like
Fort Worth, is taking barbarous form,
of which the poisoning of drinking
water is a specimen. The action of the
business men at Sherman in condemnlng
the strike and uphOlding the railroads,
IL an indication of what may be expeC-
ted elsewhere. If the stress Is kept up
much longer. sensible working men will
be joining with business men and rail-
road corporations in resisting the ire
sponsible tyranny of the knights Of La
Dor, who are doing a grievous injury TO
the cause of labor in this country by
their misguided and obstinate action at
st. Louis and elsewhere.

Expressed Surprise.

ST. LOUIS, March 1T. n. Powderly,
Grand Master Workman of the knights
of Labor, and Chairman of the National
Executive Committee of that order
passed through this city tonight on his
way to Kansas City. His mission, it is
said, 10 to meet and confer with dele
gates from the five district assemblies,
which embrace the entire Missouri Pa
citc system Of roads, in regard to the
strike now existing on that system. He
would not talk about the strike during
the few minutes he was here, but eX-
pressed considerable surprise that Mr..
Hoxle declined to confer with the Com
mittee of Knight, as suggested by Mar
tir Irons, OF SeGalia.

Freights Moved.

LITTLE Rock, March I6.-To-day a de-
layed freight train on the Iron Mountain
railroad was brought in from Jackson
vile, thirteen miles north. On arrival

CINE, but he declined, unless force was
offered, and none was offered. Another
freight was made up and sent north, the
Sheriff and posse accompanying 1t until
after crossing the bridge. No effort was
made to detain 1t, and everything 10

Waiting for Arthur.

SEDALA, March 7.-Today was the
quietest since the strike. Neither party
made a move, and the absence of any
excitement makes the strikers very rest
less. The Grievance Committee Of En-
giseers of the Gould system, except the
Texas and Pacific, have been in session
here again to-day, but their doings are
profound secret. Chief Arthur Is ex-
pected here tomorrow, when it is posi-
BILE light will break from that quarter,

Looks LIKE A Folly.

There are two points in connection
with recent events in France, says the
New York Herald, which most OF our
contemporaries seem to have lost sight OF.
First-The bill Of expulsion was a di-
rect challenge to the Comte de Paris. 1t
simply meant, you wish to be King, we
dare YOU to make the attempt. The
Assembly threw the gauntlet at his feet
and deied him. 1t went even further
than that, and by means OF persecution,
at a time when it was already admitted
that he was not an element of danger,
actually thrust a weapon into his hand,
and gave him the best possible oppor-
tunity to create popular sympathy.
That he would accept the challenge and
pick up the gauntlet was a matter oil
course, and to do so in no way dlscredits
him. That he should answer the defiance
by a manifesto which is unsurpassed in
the subtlety and eloquence of its appeal
to every friend of the monarchy through
out France only shows that he is a man OF
exceptional ability, who will prove in the
end a very dangerous enemy to oppose.
Second-He was under certain restrio-
tions while a resident of France and
bound by a sense OF honor to commit no
overt act against the Republic. This re-
L
striction he so carefully observed that
neither De Freycinet nor Clemenceau
could accuse him of indiscretion or inter-
ference. The bill of expulsion, however,
removes every barrier and gives him carte
blanche to recover the throne which he
believes belongs to him. He is now en-
tirely free to use whatever means he can
invent to create a popular opinion which
may finally recall him.
The Assembly has, therefore, injured
itself and wounded the Republic by an
act of i~nexcusable injustice.

An rOwA DIVORCE CASE.

A divorce case in which the Iowa Su'
preme Court has just given an opinion
shows that it does not require very seri'
GUS grounds on which to move for a dis.
solution Of the matrimonial contract in
that State.
The parties to the suit were first
Joined in marriage about five years ago,
one being a widower and the other a
widow. After eighteen months OF we'd
ded life the wife obtained a divorce on
the ground of "such inhuman treat
ment as endangered her life." In less
than a year they were married again, AND
soon after more divorce proceedings fol-
lowed. This time the husband was the
complainant, and in turn he charged his
spouse with "such inhuman treatment
as endangered his life."
He alleged that she applied to him
"epithets not to be commended; that
"she refused to kneel when he was en-
gagged in prayer, and on one occasion
when he was so engaged in his bedroom
she came unnecessarily into the room
and interrupted him." and, finally,
that she threatened him with per-
sonal violence. The specification under
the last allegation was that at one time
when they "were seated at the supper
table" he laid before her a chill for a
cheap dress" whereupon "she struck II
from the table and finally threw 1T at
him, and that either the paper or hel
hand struck him in the eye."
The divorce was granted by the lower
court, but the wife appealed to the SUI
preme Court and secured a reversal oil
the decree. The latter tribunal found
that mo bodily harm was lone or IN
tended" and declared that "this second
matrimonial venture should not be
slightly dissolved" ave reach this con
clusion the more readily, the Court ad-
ded, "as the plaintiff ~testifes he loves
his wife and would gladly welcome her
back to his home if she will do better;
while the defendant t~estifes that she
loves her husband and would willingly
live with him if he would reform"

Chicago Mining Review: One possible
cause of the continued depression in the
price of silver may be found in the fact
that in Great Britain, which is a pur-
chaser and not a producer of silver, last
year silver to the amount of $32, 060, $50
was coined for use as currency. So long
as England can buy our silver at her own
price her inanciers will probably be con.
tent to maintain as long as possible the
satisfactory custom of demanding gold
and paying silver. A little common
sense on the part of u legislators and a
regard for the interest of the people, SO
that a price might be fixed upon our own
products, would doubtless soon change
the present condition of affairs.
