The STRIFE.

We have searched the papers from all
quarters for all intelligent and just crili-
cism of the railroad engineers strike, hay
ing stated AT first that to deny the right Of
men to stop work was as absurd as 10 deny
the ri ht of an employer TO employ whom
he might choose The engineers are un-
der the direction OF a certain Mr. Arthur,
who, during long years OF troubles
between corporations and their employees
has been recognized as an honorable and
sensible man, thoroughly conservative in
all affairs. We remember that his cool
head prevented the gigantic combination
between the telegraphers and engineers
some years ago and invariably he has ac-
ted such par. as to entitle him to the
very farest consideration.
The account we refer 10 states that
the c. B aud Q X. r Co, had under the
management of Mr. Potter instituted u
particular system of dealing with the
engineers and fremen that gave them
certain advantages and increased the
success of the road. The stockholders,
however, claimed far heavier dividends
and one of the first things the men com
planned Of was the withdrawal of the
free passes that had been allowed them,
in order that they might make homes for
their families in the little villages.
The hardship OF this can only be ap.
preciated 10y those who have lived in
Western hamlets, where there are no
markets, poor schools and little to make
life tolerable Added to this, additional
burdens were put upon the engineers.
Instead of rest at the end of their runs
they were forced 10 do the work of clean
ing their locomotives, which on all other
lines Is done by force OF men kept ex-
pressly for that service
Any one acquainted with the vital re-
sponsibilities of an engineer knows that
the strain and solicitude Of a long run
are enough for one set OF nerves and
muscles, and that to compel man to 20
from the throttle and occupy himself two
or three hours day with wiping, oiling,
and cleaning the locomotive must result
in impsring his usefulness In the ex-
hausting and critical work OF running
his engine. Other extra work was added ;
passenger and freight engineers were
compelled 10 do a large share Of the
switching" hitherto done by employees
assigned specially TO that troublesome
and iaiiguing work. Energetic remon-
s,rsnees were made TO the company, but
as the policy increased the dividends,
while inpairiug the efficiency of the road
no et,enl zion was paid to them

Is considerable reduction OF duties, for

He Gets Part of His Money at Lea t.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-Gen. Herman
Sturm, a man who once possessed great
wealth, but lost it through his dealings with
the Mexican government, has, after many
years of persistent effort, procured the al

fortune with interest. At the time of the
Maximiiian invasion he entered into a con-
tract to furnish the government large sup
ply OF arms and ammunition at greatly
advanced cost. Philadelphia capitalists were
interested with him in the transaction.
Through the wrecking of a steamship con-
tanning a large part of the cargo and failure
of the government to pay for its purchases,
Sturm was bankrupted, and Others associ-
ated with him lost heavily. Sturn endeay-
ored to recover insurance on part OF his
loss, and the case was in court many years.
Two years ago there was an adverse ruling
on the claim in court Sturm pushed the
matter, however, and has been rewarded by
receiving an allowance of s., -, 900 on his
claim. This is to be paid in Mexican bonds,
and he viii not realize the fun amount He
owes heavy attorney fees, which viii also
