yetOel the local option high license bill.
The governor says his objections are pre-
sentel in obedience to constitutional di-
reciion, but with no idea that any reason
which can be urged will have any effect
upon the final passage Of the bill. The
bin classilics licenses with three grades
for towns Of 5000 and less population,
between 5000 and 10000, and 10, 900
and above. The license fees are graded
also--S10O, $3.50 and $3.50. Prohibition,
he says, interferes with personal liberty,
depnciates the value Of property and de-
stroys an industry in which millions Of
money is invested and thousands Of citi.

AN ENiQUiTous STRIKE.

The strike on the c. B. < Q. railroad has reached the phase winch is ineyi- table in all such violent resistance of the strikers to the compa- ny's lawful operation. Strikes against large corporations must always come te this, even where the disaHacted em- ployes are skilled laborers, since there is no organization of men in any trade strong enough to control the labor in their special calling of acountry num- bering 60,O00,000 people and of such vast extent as the United States; and in the desperation of hopeless con test and spurred on by the threatened deStitution of their families, strikers are led to the commission of overt acts which brings them under the ban of the law, loses them any sympathy which the public might have felt for them and hastens thelr defeat.
 Chief Arthur disclaimS respcnsibih- ty of the Brotherhood for any acts of violence done by individual members, a position which is untenabe in law and stamps him as the veriest dema- gogue. The Brotherhood not only in- augurated the strike, but conspired to influence other employees of the C. B, < c. and connecting roads to quit work and cripple the commerce of 8 half dozen populous States. It is IT. dlculous for Arthur to claim immuui- ty for the Brotherhood from the per niciouS results which must follow so despicable conspiracy, and it IS high time that the Governors of the several States most seriously affected were using their executive authority to put down this riot, menaeing the public peace and commercial prosperity, by the intervention of the military arm of the law.
 It is singular anomaly to find III adjoining columns in the same news paper expressions by Grand Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, and Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Engineers, so antago- nistic, and radically opposed to their former expressed convictions Pow derly, surfeited with strikes which have only brought disaster and suffer. ing to the Knights, earnestly adyo- cates arbitration for the settlement of all disputes of labor, and the sduca- ton of members of his order, so that they may more intelligently conduct their affairs and protect their interests, On tt5 ethel hand, Chief Arthur, who frowned upon the great strike of the Knights on the Missouri Pacific sys- tem in 1885 IS now yaInly attempting to justify the Engineers strike, which IS equally as unreasonable and i'll ad- yised. The severe lesson taught the Knights in their several disastrous strikes has had q salutary effect, and the Brotherhood of Engineers needs, and will receive, a similar defeat to bring them to realize that thay can not with lmpunity jeopardize tue peace and prosperity of millions of people and contravene the laws of the United States.
