oUARRELING CHIEFS.

They are serious charges the labor
leaders are making against each other.
Mr. PowDERLY openly accuses Chief
ARTHUR of bribery. The same insinu-
alton has been made in various labor
circles against FRANK SWEENEY, the
grand master of the Switchmen's union,
and now it is said in retaliation that
Mr.. PowDERLY himself is in the pay of
JAY GOULD, who holds an old grudge
against the VANDERBILTs.
The probabilities are that all these
charges are false, and that the labor
leaders are merely the victims of COM
mon human weakness, which accounts
for their disposition to pull apart in
stead of working together in harmony.
Personal rivalries and jealousies are at
the bottom of all their differences. Still,
there is enough in these charges to
show the inherent weakness of the labor
movement.
A cause to be successful must have
leadership so thoroughly imbued with
the principles of the cause that it can
not be affected by the petty traits of
human nature. And, above all, cause
whose leaders are open to the suspicion
that they are susceptible to bribery is
in no condition to enlist public SYM
pathy. much less public respect. There
fore, when Mr.. PowDERLY and Chief
ARTHER and Master SWEENEY get to
bandying epithets, and accuse each
other of being bribe-takers. they weaken
the structure of which they are the
pillars. If they have the labor move
ment at heart, all of them will step down
and out, and give their places to new
men who are above suspicion. Other
wise the labor cause must go to wreck
from the inherent rottenness of its lead
ers. In this age, when money plays
such an important part in everything,
a man in responsible post must walk
the straight and narrow road to avoid
laying himself open to suspicion.

QUAY AND REED.

A story comes from Washington that
Speaker REED has been trying to get
number of Republicans of the house to
pledge themselves to defeat the tariff
bill in case it is amended by the senate
and comes back to the house for the
concurrence of that body. This is to be
done as punishment to the senate for
having shelved the election bill. In
other words, REED proposes to pay
QUAY off in his own coin.
The story would not be an improbable
one but for one fact. REED is bull
dozer enough to adopt just such tactics,
but there is no possibility that the Re
publican members of the house can be
induced to follow their leader in this
matter. The motto of the Republican
party is, Cash first, sentiment after
wards" There are millions in the tariff
bill for interests that Republican con-
greSsmen represent. Money talks louder
than REEDS bulldOZing language. There
are too many jobs concealed in the tariff
bill for the Republican members to go
back on it.
Speaker REED haa all the elements of
Legislative bulldozer, nullifier and
conspirator, and, added to these is de-
gree of cunning that has enabled him
thus far to mask his lawless measures
behind pretense of devotion to the
public business. But in this instance
his notable traits will fail him, because
he is pitted against man who sur

SHENANDOAH sCORCHED.
McVicker's Theater in Chicago a
Mass of Smoking Debris.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-McVicker'S thea
ter is in ruins. Everything in the audi
forum that last night presented scene
of brightness and color is to-day moth
ing but mass Of black debris. Flames
burst from the basement beneath the
theater shortly after 3o'clock this morn
ing. They had evidently spread
throughout the basement, for no sooner
had firemen attempted to extingulSh the
fire on the east side of the building than
flames were seen to issue from the rear.
and the interior simultaneously burst
into blaze. When the fire burned
through the flooring the drap-
cries OH the lower boxes ignited, and
from the parquette to the roof the flames
were rapidly carried. From the lower
boxes to the upper ones the flames
leaped, and from there to the gallery.
The oily scenery and the decorations
that were made of infiammable material
burned so fiercely that nothing could
check it, Almost before The tiremen re-
allied that the fire had reached the top
of the structure, volume of flame is
sued from the roof with roar, and i'm
mediately afterward the roof fell with
crash. A number of firemen who were
in the auditorium ran for their lives.
One of them was caught, and probably
fatally hurt. but was rescued by his
companions. Three other men were
less severely hurt. The fire burned
fiercely about three hours. The
walls remain standing, but the interior
is Quilted. The fremen were success
full in keeping the flames from the
front of the building, and the offices
there were not damaged at all by fire.
The damage to the theater and its con-
tents. which also consisted of the seem
cry belonging to the Shenandoah
company, is estimated at 100000. The
loss is covered with an insurance of
only 100000. Just how the fire started
is shrouded in mystery. There are sus-
picions of incendiarism. The theater
will be rebuilt at once and as quickly as
possible. Manager Al Hayman, of the
shenandoah company, has a dupli-
cate set of scenery, costumes and prop
critics in New York, and he has tele-
graphed to have th9m sent here as
quickly as possible. In the meantime,
costumes and properties are being hur-
riedly got together, and the company
will fill its engagements at the Audito-
rum.

oUINN's RESOLUTION.

There has been no more timely move
ment in congress than the Introduction
of Congressman QUINN's resolution in
structing the house judiciary committee
to report the necessary legislation for
the suppression of Pinkertonism and to
prevent the interruption of interstate
commerce. Mr.. QUINN'S resolution is
intended to deal a double blow; one at
strikes aud the other at the lawleSS in
reference of 'detectiveS'' in the time of
a labor trouble.
We have no idea that anything will
come of Mr.. QUINN'S resolution so far
as the present congress is concerned.
1t will be put to sleep in the committee
room, where it will have long winters
nap. But it will be instrumental in
provoking a discussion through the
press that will ultimately lead to the
formulation of popular sentiment into
law that will put an end to the disturb
ances complained of.
1t is a travesty on republican govern
ment that an unlicensed body of armed
men should be permitted to asSme con-
stabulary powers and to set themselves
up as conservators of the peace every
time there is disturbance In industrial
circles The laws of the several states
make the proper provision for an eXer
else of the police power, and everything
beyond that is either mob rule or deSpot-
ism.
1t is also burlesque on governmental
authority that, since the constitution has
lodged in congress the power TO regulate
interstate commerce, traffic should be so
frequently interrupted by conspirators,
whether the conspiracy be in the guise
of railway management or labor
union, and that there should be no pro-
vision in the federal laws TO prevent the
accomplishment of the conspiracy OF to
punish the conspirators.
1t is about time that congress were
arousing itself from its blind devotion
to the protected interests and should
give some heed to the unprotected in
terests Of the country. Yet, with such
men as QUAY and REED in charge of
national legislation, it is hoping against
hope to expect anything that is wise or
nracticaI from this congress-

away as chaff before the hurricane, and shall
deserve our ingiorious fate.
That is vigorous sort of phraSeology
to apply to QUAY and the other Repub-
lican senators and prominent news
papers of the party that do not believe
in the force bill. Whether they are
false, blind Or decrepit'' may be left
for their discussion with the CHAN
Oilers, HoARs, REEDS and Others of
their stripe. The senator admits that
the public has lost confidence in the
Republican treatment of 1.-THE tariff
and other questions concerning the
country's material interests" A great
educational work has been going on,
and the party will be ''swept away as
chaff before the hurricane" unless
the public mind can be diverted into
other channels. This is candid, and a
fair deduction from the popular symp-
toms. The conviction is pervasive and
growing that the Republican economic
policies are partial to special interests
and oppressive to the masses. Perhaps
the senator sees the disposition OF the
public mind more clearly from the fact
that he has for months been away from
Washington and nearer the popular
life. He would no doubt stand
with Quay in recognizing the
claims of the obese gentlemen who are
to be recompensed by the tariff for their
contributions, past and prospective, to
the party treasury; but his faith in the
efficacy of Doodle alone has waned.
Rather he sees desperate emergency
that heroic measures can only affect.
The material interests and welfare OF
the country are not considered. The
continued control of the party is the
only aim. The attainment of this to
the CHANDLER class is to be had by ex-
asperating the South and inducing acts
that can be used for party capital in the
North, and to oyershadoW the business
issues. There should be no acquieS-
cence on the part of the Democrats ill
the senate in any arrangement that in
wolves the consideration and passage Of
the election bill. The welfare of the
country demands the defeat of all such
measures.

WHY THEY INSIST ON 1T.

The pertinaclty of class of Repub-
iican politicians in demanding the pas
sage of the force bill has rational So
luton from their standpoint. Concern
for the rights of the negroes as voters
has no place in it except so far as they
can be used for partisan purposes. The
country is against the Republicans on
the tariff issue, and this must be OBJ
scured by revival of sectional feeling
and the prejudices of the war. The
South is to be controlled by the federal
agencies provided in the bill, and the
North is to be fired by inflammable STIR
ring of the war embers. Senator CHAND-
LER is representative of this class of
political operators. He is OF the stock
that produces Speaker REED, but
has little of his boldness and
pluck. From some quiet resort he
looks upon the field, and writes to
Speaker REED nominally, but really to
the hating and temporizing Repub-
licans in the senate. He is frank IN his
admissions, because he deems the situa-
ton so critical for the party that the
home prodders must be melted to get
IN their work on the senators, and the
red flag only will sufficiently alarm
them. This is the lurld and agonizing
version he pictures for them:
Northern Republicans who hesitate must
be either false blind or decrepit. There is
not ghost of chance of our carrying either
the next house or the next presidential cleo
ton if we make our whole issue on the tariff
and other questions concerning the coun-
trv's material interests. and yield to the
Democratic bluster and Republican CONNER
cial timidity which require US 10 omit earnest
endeavors by law and the enforcement of

that of completing the organization of
the party. and making the necessary
arrangements to secure the labor
vote of the state. 1gnatiuS DOnnelly
and doc" Fish were conspicuous by
their absence, and, judging from the re-
marks of the members of the committee,
they are not in very good favor at pres

terms, and series OF doggerel verses
were circulated around. which caused
much hilarity. Darlington Phelps occu-
