Fast RailrOading.

CLEVELAND, April 17.-There were
signs of unusual commotion about the
Union Depot last evening. The Lake
Shore tracks were kept clear of all cars
and local trains. Both the Eastern and
Western Divisions were detained in ex>
pectatiOn of some apparently unusual
event. Suddenly there was a roar and
jar as the Vanderbilt special flyer from
the west rolled into the station. On
board were Cornelius Vanderbilt. Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, and President John
Newell. The run eastward to Erie, a
distance of 954 miles from Cleveland,
was made In % minutes, including a
four minute stop at Ashtabula for water,
making the total running time for the
% miles 81 minutes. From Colling
wood yards, an IS mile run was made
in 50 minutes, including another four
minute stop. From ColIingwOod to
say ybrOoke, distance of AZ miles, was
made in 30 minutes, or rate of 20
miles an hour. The run from Kings
vile to Dock Junction, SO miles was
made in % minutes, or at a rate of 20
and seven tenthS miles per hour-the
fastest time ever made on this division of
the road.

For the first time in the history of the
riOtous demonstration in this turbulent
section the sheriffs appear to have been
equal to the responsibility which the law

to perform it for them. In a manful
way they proceeded to exhaust the re
sources of the civil law for maintaining
the peace, with the result that they had
the rioters cowed and rendered powerless
for evil before getting nearly to the end
vent the loss of life and destruction of
property, but they soon placed those
chiefly responsible for murder and pill

Will deal with them, and thus won no
table triumph for the civil power OF the
commonwealth.
This gratifying and effective display
of the power of the civil authorities when
intelligently directed and fearlessly en-
ployed leads to the conclusion that the
most of the former labor disturbances i'll
Western Pennsylvania could have been
as easily suppressed if the same fearless
determination had been manifested.
There has certainly been in several in
stances too great a willingness manifest
ed by the civil powers to abdicate in ia
vOr of the military thus involving the
commonwealth in unnecessary expense
and magnifying the extent of the disor-
der to be overcome. 1t is a healthy
sign that the civil authorities in Penn,
sylvania are showing a disposition to dc
their full duty in crisis like the pres
ent before calling on the military for aid

It's q TOugh Problem.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-W ashlngton
authorities, civil and military, are be-
ginning to take an active interest IN the
arrival of Coxey's army. As the Com
mOnweal approaches, and the stories OF
the detachments from the various cities
begin to be authenticated, the outlook
for rather troublesome problem for the
district Iauthorities to solve becomes
bright. The question is what will be
done with the Coxeyites after they dis
band. The individual members of the
army will be without means to get out
of the city and General COxey has dis
claimed all intention of leading away
the men he brings in. 1t begins to look
as though the men might encamp IN the
district and practically say to the author
tiles: Here we are, and what do you
propose to do with us?"
The district commissioners had pre-
pared to-day list of the statutes unde 7
which Coxey and his men could be ar
rested and dealt with. There is no lac k
of laws; laws against vagrancy, agains
bringing paupers into the district, against
aSsemblages on the Capitol grounds, or
professions without a permit.
Nevertheless this is believed to be the
first exhaustive examination the subject
has ever received and the court is of the
opinion that the conclusion reached
with the mass of historical and Judicial
evidence by which it is sustained, will
be accepted as incontrovertible.

JAMES NEWTON HILL, convicted of the
murder of Mrs Rosa Rotzler in Ale
gheny Park last fall, and now in the
Pittsburg Jail was notified on Wednes-
day of the signing of his death warrant
by Governor Pattison. On the night of
the murder Hill was found lying beside
the dead woman with his throat cut
from ear to ear. Physicians thought he
he could not live. With the aid of
silver tube, however, which was placed
permanently in his neck, Hill recovered.
The position of the wound in Hills
neck is such that if rope around his
neck is drawn taut it will slip above the
wound, and he could continue to breathe
shrough the opening below the rope.
1t would thus be impossible to cause his
death by strangnlatiOn, no matter how
tight the rope might he drawn

THE outlook for the agricultural in
terest of the country, SAYS the Norris
town Herald, Is one of the most frequent
subjects of discussion just now at farm
ers' institutes and other similar gather
ings. With grain at its present low
prices, there is very little encourage
ment to go on in the old way of raising
wheat and corn and selling the product.
The successful farmer will be the man
who can adapt his efforts to the require
his products AS to reap substantial re-
ward. 1t is very evident that the rails
ing of wheat or other grain cannot be
made profitable on the Atlantic coast.
Those who desire to engage in such
competition should seek the prairies of
the west, where, with the opportunity to
employ labOr-saving machinery to the
best advantage, they may be able to OBJ
tain moderate returns for their capital
and intelligent oversight of the farm.
The only hope foI the Eastern farmer
- III IlS dudptdllOn W ClTcuiilStauCeS. :.
He must get out of the old ruts, and
| abandon the idea, as many intelligent
! tiIlers of the soil have already done, of
farming as did his father or his grand
| father. The times have changed within
half century, the general construction
of railroads bringing the great West to
our doors, as it were.
But there Is a field for the intelligent
farmer, even at the present day. He
| should diminish the size of his farm,
where it is large, by selling off portion,
and engage in the raising of such pro-
ductsas command ready sale at remu-
nerative prices.
1t is impossible to suggest any rule
that will hold good in all localities. In.
telligent discrimination will enable each
individual to judge what particular pro
duct or what diversity of products i;
suited to his locality. This it should be
the aim to determine, aud once settled
that aim should be pursued with per
sistent effort. There is a successful
career open to the farmers, even in the
East, if they can adapt themselves to the
necessities of the situation.

THE general debate in the senate on
the tariff bill will by agreement close
next Monday. Then the senate will be-
gin the consideration of the bill by items,
a process which promises to be long and
tedious. The fear of the defeat of the
bill is only in the opposition papers; it
does not exist among the Democratic
senators who stated at the caucus held
previous to the reporting of the bill that
they reserved the right to propose amend
mentS on the floor of the senate and will
succeed IN getting some amendments
adopted, with the aid of Republican
votes, but they have no doubts about
the final passage of the bill, nor do they
believe that single Democratic vote
will be cast against it when the final
vote is taken. The bill is going to be
pushed to a vote, and it is going to be
passed. These two things can be relied
upon.

THE one especially gratifying feature
of the collapse of the riot in the Penn
sylvania coke region, says the Philadel-
phia Times, is that for the first time in
the history of the labor troubles culmin-
ating in riots and loss of life in that
section, the civil authorities have been
able to cope with and subdue the rioters.
No hireling detectives were employed
and no call was made on the governor
of the state for the militia. The sheriffs
of the two counties affected by the strike
swore in deputies enough to defend at
least a reasonable proportion of the
mines and coke ovens and arrest the
leaders of the murderOus mob. With
the leaders in Jail the disOrderly crowd
simply grew aimless and discouraged
and dispersed.
