that it is awful for a judge to order his
railroad TO take Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy cars, when by doing so they
might lose all the engines. 1t is GER
tainly true that the court may say that
the strikers shall not communicate
with other men for the purpose of or
ganizing another strike, but how can the
court prevent the communication The
best way is TO leave public opinion to
decide between the strikers aud the
corporation so long as neither party

The engineers have a right to stop

employ others. But the public will want
to know where is the responsibility for

Mr.. Randall says of his tariff bill that
1t will reduce the internal revenue $40
000, 900, and tariff revenue about S25,
000, 900, so that il is much more OF an in

bill of the Ways and Means Committee
aims at taking So, coo, 600 from tariff,
and S2j, 900. coo from internal revenue.
Mr.. Randalls bill begins by wipiDg out
entirely the whole tobacco branch Of the
internal revenue system.
