Master Mechanic Ryan,o San Antonio,
Texas, Is very severe in his treatment
of the men, but he has the favor of the
company's officials and complaints
against him are not listened 10. The
trouble on this account has been brew
ing for two years past and now
promises TO develop into a strike in
which the whole train service of that
great road will join, The visit OF Mr..
Arthur and Chief Fireman Sargent is
to take action on the case. The system
reaches from New Orleans to Portland,
Ore, and from San Francisco 10 Ogden.
There are about twenty-five hundred
engineers on the road, and the 20"
strike will not be a ''patch" to this
Southern Pacific strike should il occur,
and the prospect is that unless Ryan is
discharged a general strike on all the
company's lines will take place.

A GUBBRNAToRIAL FUNCTION.

One OF the most important powers
with which the chief executive OF a
state is charged, is that OF responding
to acquisitions from the governors II
other states for the arrest of persons
charged with crime, and their surren-
der as iugitivcs from Justice. Tie cX-
this function is not generally known
to the public because it's methods are
quietly and sometimes secretly per-
formed; but the very tact that there
has been no cutlery in this state Is "A
certain indication hat the governors
OF Missouri have been men of sound
Judgment and wise discretion,
1t is no insignificant maltcr TO auih0-
rize the seizure OF Il citizen by II Tor
eign state and drag him away from his
family and friends, 10 be tried among
strangers for an alleged crime OF which
he may or may not be guilty; on the
other hand il Is equally important that
the state should not barbor IA fugitive
from Justice and that Interstate comfy
be so maintained as TINT tugitIyes from
the Justice OF tins state may be quickly
and safely returned for trial. To main
tain Il proper equilibrium in snch q
matter is exceedingly delicate and evil
IDENTIFY requires the most p%aticut, care
tal and conservative action.
SinguIarly enough, aside from the
Federal Statute authorizing the inter-
change of ~iugitives by requisition there
is no prescribed form OF procedure land
the governor of each state is left tn his
own Judgment, both as to the sufiicien-
cy of the papers and the propriety OF
the arrest. The power of the governor
is simply unlimited, and he may refuse
absolutely to honor any requisitiOn
from any state for any person what
ever.
Some of the states have endeavored
to enact laws governing the chief exec
utive in such matters, but such statutes
have nearly all proven Il nulliiy. Ohio,
for instance, maintains some of the
worst features of the fugitive slave
law, whereby it becomes necessary TO
carry into hat stale not only a requl-
sition but also a number of witnesses
or their affidavits, sufficient to prove
to an examining court that the state
demanding the fugitive has a probable
case against him. In the meantime it
is a very poor man indeed who cannot
escape by a writ of habeas corpus.
Missouri has no law for the method
of honoring acquisitions, and SO long
as the state is presided over by such
able and patriotic democrats as have
graced the executive office during the
past seventeen years, it has no need
for such an enactment.

As the eastward bound mail express,
on the Fitchburg railway, last week,
was nearing Gardner, Mass, a sight
appeared to the eyes Of the engineer
and fireman which gave promise of a
serious disaster. Several heavily load
ed freight cars, broken from the balance
of the train. were rapidly descending
the steep grade toward the flying cX-
press. Very soon the trains would
have crashed together had both col
tinued in their regular course. Engi-
ncer Warren put on the air brakes, shut
off steam, reversed his engine, reopen
ed the throttle, and TO the astOnish-
ment of the passengers, the train vas
soon speeding back ward like the wind,
with the freight train pursuing like a
demon of destruction. The engineer
then thought of a wise plan to stop the
freight, lie gradually slowed mp and
allowed the freight cars to gently
strike the cOwcatcher of the engine.
There vas IL slight shock and again the
trains parted. This movement was
repeated until finally the freight was
brought to a standstill.

consideration of the tariff bill, but he
must have been especially irritating on
Monday whe& he kept moving TO
amend the free list by striking out
"bergamot oil" and inserting "bricks,"
by substituting ''laths" for Lavender
OIL" etc. But the protectionists voted
his amendments, one after the other,
and placed themselves in the ridiculous
attitude of keeping the luxuries on the
free list but taxing the necessaries of
life. Mr.. Vest did good service, how
ever. by making their purpose so plain
