THE Knights of Labor have wisely
determined not to inaugurate the pro.
posed strike the first OF May for the
eight hour movement. Had the strike
been carried into effect it would have
closed numbers of Industries and beg.
CARED thousands OF families. There
are Industries, the proprietors of which
cannot afford to pay ten hours wages
for eight hours work, as competition
is too great. Therefore a strike would
have closed them, unless the men
would submit to a reduction of wages.
This they would not be likely to do.
and II the eight hour system was in
sisted upon it would result in an in
crease in the price of goods, So we can.
not see how il would benefit the WORK
ing man at present. The time may
come when eight hours will constitute
a days work, but the change must be
made gradually. A general strike to
force this movement would result dis.
astrously TO the workingmen, and do
them more harm than good.

AN IMPORTANT decision has lust
been rendered in Philadelphia in a
case that was brought against the
fennsy lvania Railroad Company. The
1aets are that some time ago Mr.. NJ. J
liyan and his wife were driving along
Twenty-second street, under the ele
waited road of the defendant company,
when two trains passed at the same
Time. The unusual noise overhead,
made by these trains, frightened the
horse and he ran away, throw ing Mira
Ryan out, breaking off two of her teeth
and injur!ng several others to such an
extent that they had TO DO extracted.
But this was not the worst, as a short
time siterward she gave birth TO q
dead child, and the husband, on her
behalf. brought suit to recover dam.
ages. The case was tried before
Judge Arnold, and Attorney Sellers.
who appeared for the company, moved
for non suit The motion was re.
fused, but the Judge said:
Nv bile l refuse this non-suit, / will
require the railroad company to prove
atiirmatively that in the construction OF
this part of the elevated road there was a
mpliance with the requirements OF the
city ordinance of October IS, 1863, which
made conditions as to the building of the
elevated road, and that the structure
Itself had received the approval of the
chief engineer and surveyor OF the city. I"
The chief engineer of the road was
then called, and proved firm plans
that the road had been built in accord
ance with drafts furnished by the
chief engineer of the city, and that the
elevated structure was as perfect as 1t
was possible to make it. Mr.. Sellers
then asked the court if any more testi
mony was needed, when Judge Arnold
replied:
Sufficient has been adduced here foI
me to direct this jury to render verdict
in favor Of the defendant company. The
structure is q lawful structure and has
been built in accordance with the city or.
dina ce. The noise of VIII CHI the plaintiff
complains was caused by lawful use Of
lawful structure.
This case raised the question whether
the defendant is liable for the degree oil
noise. I Is is q matter upon which nc
right OF action can be founded. If the
use OF the road creates a public nuisance,
the remedy is hot by private suit, and
being OF the opinion that the plaintiff has
no right of action directthe jury to lind
verdict for the defendant"
This decision goes to show that
when railroad company complies
with the law in the construction and
operation OF its road, II cannot be held
responsible for damages for any in
Juries to person or property that may
result from the running of lis trains.

WHEN the trouble In reference to
the feed bills oil prisoners was made
public . few days ago the REPUBLICAN
adopted what we then thought and
still think was the only course we
could honorably pursue In reference to
the matter Since then every cent
that was illegally paid has been re-
turned TO the city, and as far as resti-
tuition is concerned that matter 10 SET
tied. There are, however, other ex-
officials and officials who have been or
still are making a good thing off the
county or city, and as the work of ex.
posing such men has been started we
propose to continue it and show what
some of them have done and what
others are still doing. On Tuesday
we showed what the emoluments of
one ex chief Of police had been, and
we intend to follow that up with full
details OF the money received by GER
tain Democratic county officials, to
which they had no more claim than
the chief Of police had to the feed bills.
We intend, II possible, to let the pub
lie know exactly how matters have
been run In this county for years and
who the men are that have been ex.
acting money to which they had no
right Ii all of these men would come
forward as honorsbly as the chief of
police has done and refund the money
which belongs to the county ard city,
the treasury of each would be In a
much better condition than II now is.
There are many OF these abuses OF
which we have personal knowledge,
and in exposing them we do not pro
pose TO spare any one, as we know
that the majority of the public will be
with us.
