Chicago will pay dearly for the friendli-
ness of her authorities towards Debs and
his followers. The Illinois state legislature
in 1857 passed an act, the first section of
which is as follows:
whenever any building, or real or per-
sonal property, except property in transit,
shall be destroyed or injured in consequence
of any mob or riot composed of twelve or
more persons, the city, or, if not in city,
then the county in which such property
was destroyed shall be liable to an action
by or in behalf of the party whose prop
erty was thus destroyed or injured, for
three-fourths of the damages sustained by
reason thereof
When order has been restored the bills
will begin to come in to Chicago.

T. 5. Robertson of New York city, a
specialist in disorders of the nervous sys-
TEN. 1t appears that Debs went to DIR.
Robertson in April, 1892, when suffering
from alcoholism in a very severe form,
bearing a letter of introduction from Col.
Robert G. Ingersoll. The man who is
president of the American Railway union,
and the commanding general of the great
strike, was treated by Dr. Robertson for
neurasthenia and dipsomania so success
fully that he was able to return to his
home in Terre Haute, Ind. What DR..
Robertson thinks of Debs's condition to-
day is shown by this telegram which he
sent to his former patient last week: Gas
your friend and physician, | implore you
to stop where you are. The condition of
your nervous system and the great strain
upon it make you irresponsible for your
orders. Yours in Friendship"

Mr.. PuIIman's Position.

Geo. NJ. Pullman, president of the Pull
man car company, gave out this written
statement Monday night: 81 have before
stated there is no solution practicable I'M
less those who wish to be employed at the
Pullman shops realize and act upon the
rule of business that the aggregate cost of
a piece of work must not exceed its selling
price. A continuous violation of that rule
must wreck the Pullman shops or any other
shop and permanently stop all work of its
employees. This company cannot control
the selling price of cars and it cannot pay
more for making them than it can contract
to sell them for. 1t is impossible to submit
to arbitration whether or not it shall do so,
and that it shall do so is the demand made
upon the company"

there were consequential damages not paid

which were felt by it nevertheless. When

meIplng the whiskey Trust.


From the New y ork Press.
The special Washington correspondence
of the Press says that the mongrel tariff
bill will make a gift of from SG0,OO0,00
to so, 900, 600 to the whiskey trust. This
is done, first, by allowing the trust to take
out under present rates of duty the 200,-
600, 900 gallons now in bond and sell it at
the advance of twenty cents per gallon per-
mitted by the increased duty; and, second,
by extending the bonded period to eight
years instead of three; thus giving the
trust five years interest on future deferred
payments. The first privilege is worth
$40, 1000; the latter from $4,000, 900
to $50, 100000 If there is anything the
great trusts want and don't see in the mon
grel bill, they have only to ask for it. If
any special privileges for monopolies have
been left out it has been because of an
oversight on the part of Democratic mana
gers.

From the Boston Journal

Just about two weeks ago the Illinois
Democratic state convention thus etfusively
endorsed Gov Altgeld: eve heartily
commend the fearless integrity and sturdy
determination which have characterized
the administration of Gov. Altgeld, and
through which most important reforms
have been achieved in all branches of the
public service of the state, civil and mill
tary." In the light of subsequent events
the Democratic politicians of Illinois
would probably give a good deal if they
could erase this paragraph from their plat
form. The Illinois Democracy already had
enough millstones about its neck without
a demogogic governor whose impertipent
letter to the President has disguised sensi-
Democrat as well as Republicans.

Anybody could have told Dictator Debs
that this was a poor summer in which to
start sympathetic strike. With industries
depressed, thousands of men working on
half time or out of work entirely, those
who have employment are not eager to re-
linquish it, as they realize that it would be
eagerly sought after by their less fortunate
fellows who have been obliged to endure
long periods of idleness, and that intimida-
tion to restrain applicants for employment
could succeed only temporarily.-Phiiddel-

and both China and Japan insist that their

that their forces will be withdrawn when

cidedly the advantage, so far as land forces
are concerned, while the japanese are ex-
pected to show superiority at sea.
