SCENE IN THE CHICAGO ROUND HOUSE
information rests in the fact that these trains
cover points not reached by other roads, and
which, consequently, in case of general tie.
up, would be completely cut Off from the
outer world except so far as teegraphic ia.
clites are concerned. 1t is on such points
as well as our suburban traffic, that we are
now concentrating our efforts. Through
passengers to western and southwestern
points have facilities for going by other
roads, and We tell them so plainly. IL they
want to go with us we are ready to take care
of them; but if they have any misgivings we
would rather they went elsewhere for trans
portation."
1t was a motley and ever-changng throng
that besieged the offices of General Manager
Stone and Superintendent Besler almost from
daylight until long past dark. There were
dude clerks with hands as white and nails as
transparent as those of a Langtry; weather.
beaten individuals in pea jackets, who, to all
appearances knew better how to handle a
sail than lever; rustics fresh from the farm
and altogether about general an assort-
ment of the out-of-employm class as could
have been got together on days notice.
One an all were certain that they could
either manipulate a lever or keep up the
requisite amount OF steam, but very few of
the number could answer the technical ques-
tions that were fired at them by the officials
Those who indicated in the slightest degree
that they knew what they were talking
about were turned over to other Off
cials for a more searching examination.
just how many men were engaged during
the day could not be- ascertained, but tee-
graphic inquiries were sent to the district
superintendent on the main line and its
branches, and complete statement was
promised fer the public Tuesday morning.
Applications by wire for employment came
struggling in throughout the day, Boston,
Philadelphia, New York. Harrisburg, Brad
ford, and Newark, O., being among the
places represented. In every instance the
local agents of the company were instructed
to look up the applicant, and, if competent,
to send him along without delay
So far as indicated by the incoming reports
the strikers have very generally observed the
injunctions of their chiefs to preserve the
peace and TO stay away from the depots and
yards The only trouble reported was late
Monday afternoon, when a dispatch was re-
ceived from the superintendent of the Han
nibal & st. 10, to the effect that the strikers
at Kansas City and St 10 were jumping On
the cars, setting the brakes, and generally
doing all in their power to ohstruct and in

THOMAS L. JAMES, of New York, who
Garileld's cabinet, in which James G
Blaine was secretary of state, said res
Gently:
las to Baines talk on the protection
question, he adds nothing to what Henry
Clay said on the subject. 1t is all well
enough to cry free trade and Copper
head at the democrats, bu: l believe in
having some common sense when you
look at these things. Heretofore it has
been case like the OK and the bull-no>
body dared o tackle the tariff, believe
that there is no use in binding ourselves
to facts. If Europe's labor is cheaper
than ours. we have got to do something
to protect and uphold the standing of our
workingmen by protection, but at the
same time think the whole tariff ought
to be gone over and corrected. Grover
Cleveland has not been afraid of the
thing And the two courageous things
that he has done will! make him the
strongest man IN the country. He had
the courage of his convictions, and he
expressed them in his message. In addi-
ton, he got married. He had absolutely
made himself bigger than his party, and
the republicans will not be able to defeat
him unless they get some new and impor~
tant issue that will make them better
than the democrats. The time is coming
for republican success, but it is not yet
We can afford to suffer defeat, for all
is not lost when honor is saved. The
republican party forgets, too, that there
are lots of young men growing up and
pressing heavily on their heels, We
have lost much of the college element,
and the democratic party has captured it
through the independence of Cleveland.
The republican party hes been depending
too much on its record lately, and that
sort of thing doesn't do with the new
generation"
