Nnd OF the switchn,cn's Strike.

The strike Of tho switchmen on the New
FORK Central railroad at Buffalo has re-
suited in a complete victory for the railroad
management and tho unconditional surren-
der OF the strikers. The direct cnnso of the
action Of Grand Master Sweeney in declar-
ing the strike oil is said to have been the
decision of the orders Of iiremon, trainmen
ana conductors, rs expressed through their
respective heads, Sargent williamson aud
Clark, not to take any part whatever in the
strike, but the probability is that the con
ference at which this decision was reached
was called to give the switchmen some
plausible pretext for surrenderng. Tho
Interior object of the strike was to force the
railroads to recognize the switchmen's or
ganizGton, md when the failure of this
ject was seen to be inevitable it only re-
manned for the strikers to surrender grace
fully.
While the strike was in progress curious
condition of affairs prevailed. The Erie,
the Lehigh and the Vanderbilt roads, against
which the strikers had a grievance, were
conducting business as though nothing had
happened, while tho Lockawanpa the Buff
falo, Rochester and Pittsburg and the West
ern New York and Pennsylvania roads
which had corciliated the men aud granted
their demands, were in trouble. The strike
on the last three roads was sympathetic.
The strikers were therefore, injuripg those
friendly TO them, while poweIless to force
submission from those who opposed them. 1t
was evident all along that the strike must
hot +ln hou 10,
well to look at the results. The strikers did
not gain their point anil loss OF many
thousands of dollars has been entailed d-
rectlv upon the railroads well upon
the strikers themselves not to mention the
damage suffered by shippers and those
awaiting freight.
1t seems to be useless however to moral
ize ovor the utter futility of strikes, The
only thing that remains is to secure legisa-
ton against them. The suggestion is made
by the St. Paul Pioneer Press thpt protec-
ton can be furnished at any time by de-
claring the relation between the managers
OF railroad companies and thor employees
one of public contract; and 10y making the
termination of that relation on either side,
except for cause stated and established,
without 80 days notice, n legal offence.
Then it can he provided that, when any
such notice is given by either party, board
shall be established for investigation and
recon element of differences 1t is possible
that such compulsory State interference
in the matters OF other corporations might
not be justified, but the end would seem to
Justify the means A law OF this kind would
save many lives annually and prevent the
loss of many hundred thousand dollars in
the destruction of property, and loss of
wages and use of capital. Lawloss strikes

New Nork's Columbus Celebration

New Nork's CoIumbus Celebration.
The city Of New York lost the worlds
fair, but the metropolis proposes to have
Columbus celebration of its own, and it Will
not wait for Chicago either. Gotham will
observe Columbus day on October - next
in an appropriate manner, aud the residents
Of the metropolis will pare no effort to
make it an imposing event. large num-
Der of rich men of the city nave become in
terested in the movement and plenty Of
money has been promised SO that there
seems to be no obstacle to the complete
success of the project. 1t has already been
decided to illuminate the city on the oven
ing preceding the celebration in the most
elaborate manner. a large sum will be eX-
pended in this way and if the plans now I'M
der consideration are carried out this feat
ure of the celebration will be well worth
travelling many miles to sec.
The centennial celebration in New Y ork city
in which so many Nermonters participated
evidently showed the Gcthamites what could
hehone in the way of a parade, for gigantic
procession is TO be arranged for on Columbus
Day proper, the line to include the militia,
social organizations, societies IN uniform
and other bodies. 1t is also proposed to
have the procession include that old fashion
ed spectacle which set forth various trades
in operation in vehicles drawn by gaiy
caparisoned horses; and to complete the
picture, "Citiaens on horseback" should be
invited to bring up the rear. There will be
grand naval review, the Columbus monu-
ment will be dedicated and the exercises Of
the day will close with Il banquet at which
it is proposed to have President Harrison,
ex-Presidents Hayes and Cleveland, Chaun-
cey NJ. Dopew and other speakers of nation
al reputation deliver addresses. 1t can
thus be seen that Columbus Day in New
York will be Il somewhat busy day, and the
celebration will undoubtedly be note
worthy event.

IVTT UT TO777'T
Vermont holds her State election on Sep
TENDER g. and it is well to remind the Green
Mountain republicans that their party
throughout the Union expects every voter
among them to do his duty. That there will
he substantial republican majority in
Vermont may be taken for granted; the
essential thing is to make that majority as
sweeping as possible. Tho democracy would
be quick TO claim any considerable decrease
of republican votes in September as an evil
dence of increased democratic strength.
Vermont republicans owe it to their party
and their country, in this presidential year,
to roll up an old time Majority in the pre-
lminary contest before the grand national
engagement begins.

There is a volcanic element in the civiliz-
alton of Venezuela which is in an almost
constant state of eruption. The periodical
revolutions are one of the results. 1t is a
comparatively few months since Paacio fell
from power but it now transpires that Ur-
deneta, one OF his supporters, at once be-
gan to seek to become his successor rs su-
preme dictator. 1t is stated that Urdeneta
secured the connivanco Of the governors of
five states who had chung to the fortunes of
the deposed presidents and seeded from the
republic. Thus encouraged he proclaimed
himself dictator Of three states and selling
the Venezuelan navy, made himself mas
ter Of La Guayra, the entry port for Caracas.
Urdeneta's progress was most rapid from
this point Embodened by his success he
proclaimed himself dictator OF the entire
republic and at once set about the forma-
ton of cabinet with DR.. Caranas rs min
lister Of the interior. Having made his posi-
ton secure, the dictator proceeded to dis
solve Congress- but he soon found his way
barred by the revolutionists under Gen.
Crespo. The country again divided into
hostile camp, the banks of Caracas suspend
cd business and many of the inhabitants
fed in alarm. At present the hostile forces
are manusuvring for position and decisive
battle is liable to take place at any time.
If Urdeneta is ovorthrown he will proba bly,
give place to another dictator and the pros
pect for Nenezula is gloomy enough

Duty ct the Hour for Republicans.
The Independently democratic Springfield
Republican in discussing the political situa-
ton has the following to say in relation to
the September elections:
September is but week away. With it
will como the political storm of which this
midsummer dulnoss is the foregoing calm.
The results OF the early autumn elections in
Maine and Vermont Will be eagerly an
alyzed by both democratic and republican
leaders because to some extent they will in
dictate the political temper OF the masses of
the extreme North. After Maine and Yer
mont have spoken the campaign elsewhero
can be pushed with greater decision by the
leaders Of all sides.
The Republican thus emphasizes what has
been frequently reiterated in these columns
in relation to the desirobiity of getting out
the full republican vote in Vermont on Sep
TENDER e. There is no question about the
election of Fuller and Stranahan and the
entire republican State ticket. two ropub-
lcan congressman and ropu blican legisle-
ture All this has been assured from the
outset. The chief desideratum that remains
is to make the republican majority in the
Green Mountain State so large that republi-
can as well as democratic leaders in the close
States can see that the political temper
of the masses in Vermont is ''all right. -
The republican party Of this State is to
make its influence felt upon the national
campaign next week, if at all. Not a single
member OF the party can afford to say that
it will make no difference upon the result if
he stay, at home on election day. 1t will
make difference. IL he should
vote, his ballot would offset that
Of some democrat which otherwise
would cut down the republican majority in
his town so mucn. Every republican who
does not vote helps the democratic party by
staying at home. Every republican will be
for or against his own party. There will
be no neutral ground Let each republican
in every town in the State det armine to get
out the full party vote in the State election.
From now until September & this for the
republicans of Vermont will be the duty of
the hour.

 if they had swung apart, three republi- cans against two democrats. But there is no dividing on party lines, and Judge Carpenter, who does not agree in all re- spects with the others, is republican. Party lines have disappeared in the de- cision of our highest tribunal. That Is something to be thankful for-not that we feared it would be otherwise, but be- cause so many made that prediction. The decision itself, in which they are all agreed, declares Mr.. Bulkeley governor both de jssre and de .facso, and demands for him the respect of the general assem- ply. This completely cuts out the ground from under the democratic senators. They have nothing to stand on. They have been crying t.usurper' and asserting that he was not governor at all. For that reason they would do no business. So long as the usurper sat in the governors office, Legislation was to be suspended in the senate chamber for fear of recogniz- ing him. No public interest could be served; nothing in the way of recognition could be tolerated except for individual senators to sneak around to the executive chamber and beg commissions as justices of the peace from the governor, whom they would then fall to denouncing again as lawless and powerless.
