So FAR the department of the strik-
ing engineers and fremen of the
Burlington road has been highly COM
mendable. The men have done nothing
to cause complaint. They have simply
exercised their right to refuse to work
on the terms offered. If they shall
continue in this line, and not interfere
with the rights of the railroad COM
pany or those of other engineers and
fremen, everybody will respect them
though some may condemn the wisdom
of the resolution which keeps them
from working. There is every
where in America a very high de-
gree of respect for the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers
1t is an excellent organization, and in
cludes in its membership the more CON-
petent, more trustworthy and more re-
putable members of the honorable pro-
fession. The society has never been
governed by demagogues, blatherskites
and agitators, and has held aloof from
other labor organizations which were
ruled by unWise men. II is to be hoped
that whatever its grievance the Brother.
hood will keep strictly within the law.
If it cannot win by taking that course
it will be better for it to surrender.

The BILL to prevent cruelty to ami
mails should become law. The neces-
sity for it may be seen almost any day.
It provides for the punishment by fin
and Imprisonment of eny one who over
drives. overloads, overworks, fortunes,
cruelty beats or mutilates, or cruelty
kills, or deprives of necessary susten-
ance, any animal; it makes 1t INSIDE
meaner to keep or use bull, bear, dog,
cock or other animal or fowl for the
purpose of fighting or batting, or as a
target to be shot at for amusement OF
as a test of skill, and those who aid and
abet such brutal exhibitions, either as
spectators or by renting houses or
grounds for them are declared
to be equally guilty with the prin-
cipals. There are other excel
rent provisions in the bill in
tended for the protection OF
dumb brutes from the brutality of the
inhuman creature man. There is not
week that some drunken or cruel
hearted fellow does not maltreat liV
ery team, and common spectacle Is
the clubbing of jaded horses and mules
to force them to perform more than
they can do. Dog-fghting and cock
fighting are also "amusements" which
have been presented hereabouts for the
deIectation of a certain class of people.
Such a law as is contemplated in the
bill may not Christianize and humanize
men of brutal and depraved instincts,
but it will check the growing tendency
in the community to indulge in certain
brutal exhibitions.

A WISE MOVEMENT.

Its rumored that a movement is on
foot looking to the booming OF First

scheme will develop into active shape
cannot now be said, but it is sincerely
hoped that it will, in view Of the fact
that it cnntemplates Improvements

not worth the money it would cost to
cart them away. Frontage which should
be lined with three and four-story brick,
iron and stone structures is covered
with lumber rookeries Of the crudest
description.
The explanation for this discreditabe
appearance and unsatisfactory como =
ton of things is found in The tact that
much Of the land is in undivided
estates. Thes . states are either too
poor to erect slightly and approprl-
ate buildings or their managers are
not progressive and enterprising. The
heirs and the executors are content
with the high ground rent, and the
lessees are not disposed to expend large
sums for buildings on leased land. Tha
result is what we see to-day, blocks OF
novels and shanties, tumbledown
rockeries and unsightly shops lining
ore of the most eligible and most
popular thoroughfares IN town.
The scheme mentioned also contem-
plates the formation of a syndicate Of
wealthy men. property owners on the
street named and others, for the pur-
pose of obtaining long leases on the
estate and trust lands, and the
erection thereon of suitable ouildlng'
for The business belonging TO the stree
and which will be attracted TO 1t Wher
the rookeries shall be replaced 81
slightly and conveniently arranged
structures. The gentlemen interested
feel that they must do this for their OWL
protection, and also that there is money
ia the plan, the high rents now com
manded being guarantee that the IN
vestment will be remuneratiye. A it'll
effort and the expenditure of som
money will soon transform First Soutl
Street into the faYorite business stree
of the city, and instead OF ugly-lookin
structures, from First East to Firs
West the thoroughfare will be line
with handsome business blocks.

THEY HAVE been a long time about
it, but the French have finally landed
NJ. Wilson, the unworthy son-iD-law OF
ex-Presdent Grevy, in pris on. Wilson
seems to be a scrub through and
through, and the punishment to which
he has been sentenced is not half severe
enough, considering the nature of his
crimes and the trouble he has caused.
His offenses induced Grevy to resign
the presidency of the Republic, and
cast a stain upon the hitherto spotless
character of the old man; they also
scandalized the French generally, and
reflected severely on the wearer OF every
decoration received during the admin
istration of GreVy. Wilson's crime
was dealing in decorations, selling
to anybody willing to pay for !
"honors" and distinctions" which
should only be awarded for meritorions
deeds. Sausage-stuffers and bootblacks,
scavengers and dog-pelters could obtain
the decoration of the Legion of Honor
if they were disposed to pay Wilson's
price for the ribbon. For the credit OF
the French court and people, Wilson
has been convicted and sentenced to two
years Imprisonment, to the payment OF
a fine of 8, 600 francs, and to deprivation
of civil rights for five years. The
punishment seems severe for one who
so recently occupied the Executive
palace, but it is no more severe than the
criminal merits.
