a BE str.ke Threateaed.

Our dispatches this morning indicate that
a general strike on the entire Vanderbilt
system Of railroads is likely to be ordered
after a conference of the strikers officials
at Terre Haute. A strike OF such magni-
tude would be very serious affair. The
employees Of the Vanderbilt system number
about 5000 men. There are probably
5000 persons dependent upon them. A
str Ike. therefore, even if all OF the men
should not participate in it, would mean a
great deal of suffering to a large number Of
people. Tie Vanderbilt system operates
10000 miles of road, extending over third
OF the United States, and the Vanderbilts.
either personally OF through one or more of
their corporation 5. are largely interested in
other railroads in the south and west
If the Union Pacific is counted part of
their system, they practically control asso-
ciated lines Of railroad which unite the At
lantic and Pacific oceans. The New York
Central, the West Shore, the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, the New York,
Chicago and st. LOUIS. the Michigan Cen
trail, the Canada Southern, the Chicago and
Northwestern and the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha railroads represent
an investment of over 5000, OO0, 900 in stocks
and bonds. A tie-up on all these roads
would be a blow at the business interests of
very large part of the country. A strike
involving such vast interests and such an
inn ense number of men should not be
wautonly provoked or begun.
A day or two ago General Master Work
man Powderly said that if the men whose
discharge is the cause of the trouble were
discharged for cause, and not because they
were Knights of Labor, the strike would be
declared off. Mr.. Webb. vice president of
the Central railroad, said that they were
discharged for cause. Mr.. Powderly re-
fused to accept Mr.. Webb's statement He
demanded that the question whether
the men had been properly
discharged should be submitted to arbitra-
ton. Mr.. Webb refused to grant this de-
mand, asserting that the Vanderbilt system
of roads reserved the right to discharge or
employ whom it pleased, and to manage its
property as it saw fit. II general strike
is ordered, therefore, it will be because of
the refusal of Mr.. Powderlys demand for
arbitration. Vast business interests may be
interfered with, and tens of thousands of
men, women and children may be brought
to the verge Of starvation in the effort to
determine whether or not the Vanderbilt
system can discharge any of its employees
without assigning any reason for its action
The granting of the demand for arbitra-
ton would have been an easy way out of
the difficulty, but it would have made
troublesome precedent, perhaps. The Van
derbilts seem to have made up their minds
to settle finally and forever the question
which is now at issue between them and the
Knights of Labor

The Potato Rot in Ireland.

The telegraphic report that the potato
murrain, or potato rot, has made its APP
pearance in Ireland, and is spreading so
rapidly as to threaten the entire crop, is
well calculated to create alarm throughout
Europe and the northern states, and cause
wellgrounded apprehension for the welfare
of the people of Ireland. In 1S45 the potato
rot made its appearance in Europe, and also
in this country, and caused heavy losses to
farmers. In Ireland, however, the effects
of the disease were appalling. The potato
crop was and is, the main reliance of its
agriculturists. and its destruction in that
year was followed by famine, the suffer
ings from which excited the sympathies of
the civilized world. The people of this
country sent ship loads of provisions and
thousands of dollars TO relieve the distress
of Ireland's afflicted people.
1t was that terrible visitation, followed
as it was by season of political unrest,
that gave great impetus to Irish emigra-
ton, which has added millions of citizens
to this country. The improvement in the
condition of the people of Ireland, and the
great reduction in her population, will

hended froma loss of the potato crop, but
nevertheless its destruction will be the
cause of great suffering among the Irish
farmers.
Various theories have been offered for the
potato rot, one of them being that it is the
result of replanting from the same tubers,
which, in the course Of years, become de-
bilitated and liable to disease. This theory,
however, has been proven to be erroneous
by the fact that the potato, in its
wild state, is subject to the disease Later
Investigators have discovered that the rot is
due TO minute fungus, which finds room to
live and spread through every tissue of the
plant, and which develops rapidly in a
warm a. d damp season.
1t is some satisfaction to know that this
dreaded disease has never yet attacked the
early potato crop of the southern states.
and that therefore our farmers need feel no
alarm at its appearance elsewhere.

Shipping Cotton Direct to Europe.

W.
The Augusta Chronicle and the Atlanta
Journal seem to think that they are en-
titled to credit for approving the sugges-
ton made by some surveillance that export
cotton be shipped direct to foreign markets
The Chronicle, however. appears to have
found out that if the suggestion means any
thing it is the closing up of the factorage
business in all the towns, and therefore it
makes haste to say that it realizes "that
the factorage business, as conducted in
Augusta is a saving as we'll as an accommo-
dation to the farmer" Well, if the factorage
business, as conducted in Augusta. is good
thing for the farmer, it is probably good
thing for the farmer as conducted in other
southern cities.
The Chronicle having virtually knocked
OUT this suggestion, which it at first thought
was such good thing, seems to regret
having done 80, for it says: THE problem
of direct trade, however, is being partially
solved. Every year our southern ports are
filled with tramp steamers. heading from
every quarter of the EARTH and ready to
carry the cotton crop direct from southern
harbors to European spinners"
But haven't the tramp steamers been
coming to southern ports for cotton for
years and years, and will not they continue
to comea How is ''direct trade" being
solved to any greater extent now than
heretoforea
The Atlanta Journal says:
The farmers of Georgia are to be con-
graduated upon taking up so actively the
SIcnaotinp of ha ~ = ho&
of steamships should be put on between Sa-
vannah or Brunswick and Liverpool.
Why are the farmers of Georgia to be
congratulated Are they going to establish
line of steamers to Europe from Savannah
or Brunswick Not by great deal We
would, indeed. like to see a line of steamers
between Savannah or Brunswick and
Liverpool, but we know there is no imme-
diate prospect of one. During the cotton
season there would be freight enough to
support it, but what would support it when
the cotton season was overa
Whoever made the suggestion about the
direct expectation of cotton had the idea
that vast amount of cotton is taken TO
New York by rail to be exported. Such is
not the case. A great deal of cotton goes 10
New York and Boston by the coastwise
steamers aud is reshipped abroad,
but that would be the case if
there were a line Of steamships from
every southern port to Europe. In the
hight of the cotton season the demand for
freight room is great, and often there is
great competition for freghts. Cotton
goes to foreign markets by sailing vessels,
tramp steamers and splendid steamships
known as the ocean greyhounds
Have the Journal and the Chronicle
clear idea of this matter of direct trade.

apparent satisfaction to themselves?
