ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

Again the law was openly defed on
the south Side yesterday; a car was
wrecked and derailed and the men FUN
ming it assaulted and driven of by
mob.
How much longer is the city to be dis
graced by such outrages3 II the pres
emit forces OF the law sre not sufi-
cient to uphold its dignity
they should be doubled or trebIed.
Every resource at the command Of the
authorities fortbe preservation Of order,
10 fact, shOdld be exhausted before
such riotOqs proceedings should be pos
sible.
This Is not question between the
comp6R and the strikers, il is whether
--F1-s w to be supreme or mob rule is
otako isl place. It should, also, be
borne in mind that every violation
OF law in their behalf
places the strikers at a
disadvantage and loses their cause sym
rathy from the law abiding public.
The city has already suffered serious
Injury through these occurrences and is
in no humor TO put up with the situa-
tion longer.
Lawlessness must be put an end to at
any cost.
aINrELLlsENCER" BUsHwHACKING.
The other day the InteliiGenccr made
a spiteiul and gratuitous attack upon
the Gas Board, attempting to create the
impression that the Board had some
dishonest connection with the Florsheim
coal case. It was promptly shown that
there was and could be no such connec-
tlon: that the IptelligCRcCr must have
known it; that If it did not it made no
attempt to ascertain the facts before
publishing its malicious article; and
that its publication was premeditated
false insinuation designed TO injuTe the
Board among people not acquainted
with the situation.
