one in the morning about five o'clock

three o'clock. The tremor in the after

buildings.

New-York tribune., 1886-03-31

The conferences yesterday between the rep
rcsentatIves of the knights of Labor and the
Missouri Pacific managers seem likely to end
the strike in the Southwest speedily. Vice
President lIOxIe sent word East that he would
meet committee of the cOmpany's employees in
order to adjust any grievances they might
have but his dispatch indicated that the men
must go to work first The secretary Of the
Knights Executive Board Mr. Powderly being
ill thcreupOn tclegraphcd to Mr.. Irons TO order
the strikers back to their places, and to select
n committee to call upon Mr.. HOXie.
The General Executive Board will start West
this morning to supcnntcnd personally the
furthcr adjustment of the difficulties. 1t is not
expected that work can be generally resumed
before the end of the week. Meanwhile the
temper of the strikers in some places remains
aggressive, especially III East ST. Lonls, Ill.,
and Governor OglcSby has called upon the
militia there to be ready to help him maintain
order In ST. Louis more freight was moved
yesterday than on any previous day since the
strike began. There was much satisfaction
expressed everywhere that the chances of set
Ting these troubles were good.

matter what walk in life they may follow here
after, their record in the Excise Board will mt
be forgotten.
The hideous bog into which our Excise
affairs have sunk has been fed chiefly from the
foul sewers of the County Democracy, I'M or
gauization which contains within its banks
more of the corruption and evil that fill our
local politics with fctid gases and malignant
diseases than any other of this decade. 1t has
gathered in one sickening flood the filth and
yileness of the worst elements of Democratic
ward politics. Even Tammany is clean and
pure and bright beside it. But snch papers rs
The NcU- York Times and The ErenbG Post
have been doing all they could for years to gain
support for the County Democracy and to
weaken Tammany. No one claims that Tam
many is spOtless. But that ancient organization
has been so managed in recent years that there
was far more hope of honesty and integrity in
municipal affairs with Tammany in power than
with Hubert O. ThompsOn's gang in Office. 1t
cannot be doubted that the innumcrable and per-
sistcnt misStatcmcnts of The Times and the I0St
concerning the aims, motives and candidates of
the County Democracy. and then malignant at
t0ckS on opposing organizations and candidates.
have miSled many O'crS and done much to bring
about the present dcplorabe condition OF the
city government But their misguided follow
crs have been led into so many dltches that the
power of these two journals to lead even the
blindest astray must now be nearly gone.

ORR EXCISE EO1RD.

Ncw-Yorkcrs vino would feel some honest
pride in their city if they could, are forced to
blush with shame and modification when our
Aldermen are mentioned. They must vince
also when they hear IN allusiOn to our Excise
Board. Only one of the present Excise Com
missioners has ever shown any inclination to do
his duty in the public service. The others are
no more worthy Of respect ard confidence ~
officials than are the Jaehne5 and MOlpncys Of
the City Hall. We have no doubt that William
p. Mitchell and Nicholas lIauehton could scry e
thirsty citizens with eminent skill and agility
in the compounding of mixed drinks and the
decanting of plain whiskey behind a bar. That
is the department Of activity for which their
tastes, talents and qualifications make them
conspIcuousy suitable. As Commissioners of
Excise their incapacity or dcprayity has made
them awful examples of wrong doing. No one
of the barrooms which they have licensed
with so prodigal disregard Of character, OF
duty and Of the law could furnish a more i'm
prcssiyc illustration of absence of official con
science, sclf-respcct or desire to do right. And
these extraordinary Commissioners have an
equally extraordinary Chief ClcIk-a polished
and refined person who testified on oath in the
Supreme Court the other day that in his opinion
a man who struck his mother was not ncces-
sarily bad man, though this most scrupuous
and honorable OF Chief Clerks admitted that
striking ones mother was mot proper thing
10 do.o
If we had "a Governor Of this State who ever
considered public interest where it might con
flict with partisan advantage, New York would
have been relieved of this noisome pestlence
of an Excise Board with its pure minded and
wcl-bred Chief Clerk. But Governor Hill com
mitted the hearing of the charges against the
Commissioners TO referee Of singularly
accommodating and deliberate disposition, and
it now seems likely that Commissioner Mitchell
and Commissioner Haughton will end their
terms in peace and will leave Office without the
brand Of removal. But this brand could not
disgrace them. They have saved the Governor
from responsibility On that score by clothing
themselves with shame as with garment. Nc
