THE STRIKERS STAID AWAY.


And Peace Reigns at the National steam
ship Docks.
None of the two hundred striking New
York freight handlers, employed by the
National Steamship Company. who, re-
fusing to work with colored men, went
out on strike yesterday morning while
unloading the steamer Erin at the Inman
line piers, foot of Grand street, this city,
came over fromGNew York this morning.
MANY of the colored contingent also
failed to put in an appearance, probably
anticipating a renewal of the pitched bat
tie on the New York side last night.
Things are unusually quiet at the piers
this morning.
Only half a force are engaged unloading
the steamer, which should have pulled
out yesterday.
The National Company are obliged to
pay the Inman Company 500 a day while
She remains at the pier. and from present
indications she will not get away for sew
eral days. Patrolman Steele alone is on
duty to assist Special Oficer Coyne.
Captain Farrier said this morning that
it is not at all likely that any of the Jer-
sey City freight handlers will join in the
strike, as they are union men and are ex-
ultant over the troubles OF the New York
strikers, who are non-union men.

Charles H. Voorhees, to Judge Knapp
this morning on behalf of Charles IL.
Mulliken and Joseph Duke for a writ of

right of the Board to do this.

against him. They were heard by Com
m~issioners Conway and Henderson and
they solve to refer it to the Committee
of the Whole. After this was done but
before action was taken, Commissioner
Quinlan died and John Brown was ap-
pointed in his place. When it came to a
vote Henderson was in favor OF dismiss
ing the charges and Conway and Brown
voted to discharge Duke.
Mr.. VOORHEES, claimed that Brown had
no right to vote because he was not part
Of the Committee of the Whole, to which

ADJUSTMENTS.

The invention known know as the Red
mund-Barry act drop is now fully covered
by patent, and is only presented by the
Redmund-B Barry Company. What was
looked upon by some people as a daring
innovation has proved a perfect success,
both from a dramatic and artistic point
of view. By means of the act drop the
events supposed to occur between the
acts are brought before the audience
with almost startling realism, particu-
larly in the case of the duel scene. thus
dispensing with any illusions by the
characters in the play TO events not en-
acted upon the stage; illusions which are
often tiresome to the playgoer. The
company will be at the Academy Of
Music next week.

The Negro North and south.

~ na - AE@ N1
Really the way the good "Republi-
cam North treats the negro is not
calculated to set a very fine example
to the wicked Democratic South.
This dock strike against the eolored
'longshoreman is a most unhappy
thing for the Quay, Sherman, Hal
stead, Foraker, Ingalls, gang who
want to pass election laws for the OPP
preston of the Democracy under pre-
text of protecting the negro.
That the Republican papers have
some realization of the grotesque
position they are in, is shown by the
following editorial comment, which is
clipped from the very virulent Eliza
beth Daily Journ0l:-
If Editor Grady had waited for a few days he
could have embellished his Boston speech with
q very sharp point. The New York stevedores
struck because a colored man was employed.
1t was a brutal thing for them to do, and an act
that would not have been peapetrated in the
South. They are willing to let the negroes work
there, at anything they can do, even if they are
not willing to let them vote.
In the South the negro, when he is
not aggressively offensive, has just as
fair treatment as anybody else.
Sometimes when he is obnoxious
he is treated in an illegal,
even an outrageous way, and this
we do not seek to defend. But SO far
as his natural rights are concerned,
his opportunity of enjoying life and
advancing himself is, we had almost
said, nor distinctly recognized south
than north of Mason and Dixon's
line.
