IT is to be hoped that the troubles in Chi
cago will be settled without the necessity of
calling upon the militia. Governor Oglesby's
position, that the State should not be called
upon until local civil officers have exhausted
all theirpower, is unquestionably correct. There
should be no undue fostering Of that spirit
which, at the first dawnng of any trouble.
flies to the government for help. But, on the
contrary there should be none Of that cow
ardice on the part of the State authorities that
will result in another dreadful tragedy like
that marking the shameful dilly -dallying at
East ST. Louis. The peace officers should ex-
haust all their authority for the preservation
of public peace and the maintenance Of pri-
vate rights, but that authority stops at the
line where it is necessary to use fire arms. So
long as the peace may be preserved, the right
of every individual man to work protected,
and the use o. private property guaranteed. by
the extraordinary use of the ordinary means
at the control of the peace officers, there is no
room for the militia; but whenever these or
binary means, extraordinarily employed by
the calling of the posse, fail, then the military
arm must and should be interposed in the in
terests of justice and mercy. There is no
cruelty so great as to place arms in the hands
of undisciplined and irresponsible people. We
hope Governor Oglesby will not repeat his st.
Louis error, only to be forced to his unpleas-
ant duty after blood shall have been shed
which the presence Of the militia would have
doubtless prevented.

JOHN JARRETT and Andrew Carnegie are
about to start bank at Pittsburg the stock
holders to be men Of limited means, no one
being allowed to hold more than 5000 worth.
The scheme also contemplatcs cooperative
stores throughout the country. The latter
seldom prove successful. If that hank should
ever break, the officers must make it a point
to get out of the country before the fact is
made known. They will never be allowed to
live after such thing.

AND SO Gen. FL. V. Boynton, the Washing

support Mr.. Cleveland, is about to expose the
hypocrisy Of the administration policy. Has

The form of the movement has changed.
Instead of favoring unlimiting pensions, with
the object of getting the rebel soldiers on the
rolls in time, the leading Southern newspapers
are now advocating the cutting down of the
list on the ground that the ex-confederate
widows and children get along without any
help from the government, and therefore the
ex- Union ones should do the same This is a
shrewder move than the old one to bring
about the extinguishment of any official diff
ference between those who fought for the
government and those who fought against it.
That is the tendency of the times and the
country will reach that point very soon, unless
the men who were not afraid to be loyal in
186l-65 shall be willing to acknowledge it
without apology in 1886.

IT is about time the Masons should ESSAY to
boycott all who presume to join other secret
orders, or who fail to join any. No man has
right to do as he pleases, and the Masons
should not be slow to enforce their rights in
this matter. The various religious denomi-
nations might do little in this direction,
too. The Presbyterians might assert that no
man has the right to be Baptist, and the
Methodists might set up the rule that no man
shall be allowed to cast his lot with the
Lutherans If any man should presume to
question this modern inquisition, the boycott
could be ordered against him, and thus the
right could be speedily indicated

REPRESENTATIVE HOLMAN has introduced
a bill which makes it unlawful for any cor
poration acting under United States patent
to withdraw any machine or process from
public use in the State, although its tariff
has been regulated, that u.s. reduced, without
the Legislatures consent. In other words,
the State can let in corporation to operate
the patent it owns, then reduce tho rate of
compensation to what it pleases, and, though
it may bankrupt it to do so, can compel it to
continue until it does. Before any more
such bills are introduced in the interest of
buncombe, perhaps it would be well enough
to wait till the United States Supreme Court
has its say on the subject of the States regu-
lating what the national government grants

At the time these letters were written the PEN

for political purposes had not been adopted, and.
therefore, the Democrats are not able to charge
Mrs Thompson WIN violation OF the civil service

Union all over Kentucky, and considered bis
cause worthy one.n At another time she was
anxious to have the Republicans succeed that
the principles of the Republican party might
be carried OUT SO that her real offense was not
in any violation of a civil service law not yet

almost any man will risk his life to save that
of another in danger. But only too often,
when calamity comes in magnitude that would
seem to appal the stoutest heart, the meanest
traits of human nature come to the surface,
and those who have enjoyed regulations for
honesty become the meanest and commonest
thieves. True, such calamities offer oppor-
tunity to the vicious, but the mischief does
not stop there. There is enough in this fact
to teach every honest man the Importance of
obeying the law in every act and to never APP
pear to slight OF disrespect it, however great
the provocation. When honest men become
reckless, weak men often become thieves and
plunderers. When strong men appear to
despise the law, other men are emboldened to
defy it. When workingmen appeal TO passion
to obtain justice, the loafer takes his bag to
gather plumber. It was this fact that brought
the Pittsburg strikers into disrepute, for their
others to plundering. The striking rail
readers had no intention of stealing anything,
but the mob that gathered under their en-
couragement were not so conscientious, but
went into the riot for the purpose of realizing
on it. The result was that hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of property was
destroyed or stolen, and heavy debt was
piled upon that city The law is the best
safeguard that the people have, and they can
never afford to despise it nor to encourage the
rabble to presume to defy it.

THE Charleston News and Courier says that
the widows and orphans Of ex-confederates
get along without any government aid, there
fore the widows and orphans of the ex- Union
soldiers should do the same. The Washing
ton Post, the Democratic national organ,
says:
sin view of the liberal provision which has
already been made for the Union soldiers of
the late war, it is not ungenerous to say that
the limit has been reached. Further conces-
sion would be unjust to other interests"
This is the new song of the Democratic.
party. The tune is set in the South.

ACCORDING to Captain Cottier's own &C
count of the sinking of the Oregon he was
to blame for the loss of that magnificent YES
sci. He says she would have foated but for
the fact that the bulk-heads could not be
closed, and they could not be closed for the
reason that they worked i'll horizontal instead
Of vertical grooves, and the grooves were
clogged with coal. This is remarkable con-
fession, and should result in sending Kim to
term in prison. The doors in the bulk heads
are intended to be speedily closed on occasions
like the disaster that overlook the "Oregon."
If the coal interfered with the prompt closing
of these doors, it was the fault of the captain.
If there were such quantities of coal on board
that it came up to these doors, it could have
been prevented from clogging the grooves of
the doors by building a wall of COAL in sacks,
next the doors, as is often done in such cases.
The officers of the Inflated ''Oregon" can not
be held to tto strict accountability in this
matter. The safety Of the travelling public
and the welfare of the steamship companies
demands the strictest investigation and pun
ishment suitable to the character of the Of

The examination Of Mr.. Powderly before
the congressional committee was in the nat
ure of a farce, if the purpose was to inquire
into the existing strike on the Missouri Pa
ci6c road. Instead of the demagogic taffy
that was enough to turn the stomach of a
sensible man, why did not some one ask the
chief of the Knights of Labor if he had not
time and again denounced the strike as cause
less and had not ordered the men to resume
work. The country knows this to be a fact
and all the dust throwing in the world cannot
do away with that record. It is also we'll
known that Mr.. Powderly has since then an
nounced that, despite the unwarranted nature
Of the strike, it must be supported by the
calling for contributions from those in en-
ployment to aid those who have voluntarily
and wrongfully put themselves out of their
situations. This is the reason the strike has
lost all public sympathy, notwithstanding the
almost universal indignation against Jay
Could and it also explains why the response
to Mr.. Powderly's appeal for funds has not been
made with greater enthusiasm. Men at work,
with their wives and children to support, have
no money to throw away on hot-headed fell
lows, such as Martin Irons and his ilk. Every
day that the confessedly causeless sssrike is
kept up public opinion is being still further
estranged, the order weakened in every re-
spect, and thousands of men wronged by be-
ing kept out of work and other thousands
wronged by making them believe that some
thing is to be gained by contributing of their
hard earned wages to failing, because base
less, movement The thing to do is to stop
the strike, 90 to work-all who can-allow
every one else to work unmolested, and then
demand cae arbitration of such wrongs as
may be found to exist. The present strike
cannot possibly be maintained, and it is Grim
inal folly for any one to give it encourage
ment. It was killed when Mr. Powdery
struck it with his celebrated secret circular
than which he has never made more states
manlike and manly utterance The pity Of it
is that he has proved too weak to withstand the
influence of men like Irons, Hayes, Bailey,
and the others who live off the continuance of
disturbance.

repetition of such onslaughts, and that it is
