The man who raises his hand against
the Federal soldiers should be treated as
General Dix instructed his troops to
treat those who raised their hands to
haul down the Stars and Stripes during
another rebellion a generation ago. He
should be shot on the spot, for he
is rebel against the land that has
given him protection. liberty and all
that free republic vouchsafes
to its citizens. The man who wears the
blue coat Of Uncle Sam, who is under
the command Of the President of the
United States and obeying his orders
represents this Government, and the
man who attempts to do him violence is
guilty of open rebellion. The man who
dares fire on the United States flag or
Federal troops will find that thesvast
majority of American people stand back
OF the flag and the soldiers, and that
the flag means something more to the
masses than it does to the Boston Her
aid, which regards it as mere union of
various colored textile fabrics. The
vast bulk OF the strikers themselves
will, as soon as reason returns, stand by
that flag and defend it if necessary with
their lives, and the leaders, like Debs,
who would incite them to open rebellion,
will meet with prompt punishment from
the men whom they have misled. The
Stars and Stripes today protects the
American citizen and his property
wherever he may be and no less at home
than abroad.

CLEvELANDs CHANGE OF VIEW.

Probably no words that he ever wrote
are more bitterly regretted by President
Cleveland today than those he used in
his message to Congress in 1888, when
he declared sour cities are the abid-
ing places Of wealth and luxury; our
manufactures yield fortunes never
dreamed of by the fathers of the re-
public; our bushes men are madly
striving In the race for riches, ard the
immense aggregations of capital outrun
the imagination in the magnitude of
their undertakings. The gulf between
employers and employed is constantly
widening, and classes are rapidly form
ing, one comprising the very rich and
powerful, while in another are found
the toiling poor. AS we view the
achievements Of aggregated capital we
discover the existence of trusts, com
binations and monopolies, while the
citizen is struggling far in the rear, or
is trampled to death under an iron
heel"
Debs today has the same ideas. but
carries them further than did Cleve-
land. But the President has realized
his mistake, and his prompt and com
mendable action in dealing with this
anarchistic uprising in the West gives
conclusive proof that he has done so.
Today he is not the politician trucking
for votes for his party, but the Presi-
dent insisting that anarchy must cease
and disorder and lawlessness come to
an end, and in this latter role furnished
by far the moro pleasing spectacle.

Strikers Against the United States.
N. y Tribune.
The issue of an injunction by the United
States District Court at Chicago. prohibiting
Interference with any part OF the passenger OF
freight interstate traffic OF railways, asserts a
principle which was suggested in these col
umns some time ago. The Attorney General
and other lawyers at Washington. it Is stated,
regard the action of the court as eminently
important because II involves q new princi-
pie Of the widest application. II
the United States Government acting
for the public welfare, restricts all rail
roads engaged In interstate traffic. limits their
charges, or takes from them freedom to trans
port for whom and on what terms they please,
tits under obligations to defend the roads in
the exercise Of the privileges it leaves them
and In the performance of the duties IL en-
Joins upon them. IL makes all such railroads $
In sense agents and servants Of the nation,
whose discharge of public function cannot
be interrupted without attack upon the in
terests and rights Of the nation.
Ii this doctrine Is once asserted by the
courts IL becomes the duty Of all executive de-
partments OF the Government aud OF the
army and navy. in case OF necessity, To pro-
tect the interstate railroads In the perform
ance of the public service which the United
states requires and regulates. Al a glance 1t
will be seen that this brings into United
States courts for adjudication every question
egarding interference with interstate
transportation OF passengers and freight,
as well as questions regarding inter-
ference with the postal service. Senator
kyie's resolution would have donied the
right OF the Government to interfere except
where mails are interrupted, but 1t seems
highly probable that the broader principle as
serted by the District Court at Chicago will be
affirmed by the courts of last resort. Evi-
IDENTIFY IL is the Intention of the Administra-
tion to uphold the principles affirmed by the
District Court until the question has been de-
cided by higher authority.
Under this injunction strikers put them-
selves beyond the pale OF ordinary legal de-
fence when they interrupt interstate COM
merce by any acts of violence. by any kind Of
conspiracy or even by trespassing upon the
property OF the railroads in order To disturb
their business The courts alone will decide
whether the strikers are IN contempt. NOne
OF the delays and uncertainties OF trial by
jury In a time OF popular excitement are to be
expected. The court alone fixes the penalties
IL men are In contempt. The Governor OF no
State has the power to pardon men for con-
tempt of the United States Court All the
power OF the Nation-including il necessary.
the raising OF armies and the declaration Of
martial law-may be invoked TO give full
force to decisions of United States courts.
Thus, as senator Davis of Minnesota finely
said the strikers arc drifting perilously near
the overt act of levying war against the
United States.-

OBJECT OF THE DELAY.
Reason Why the Filtration Problem
Was Postponed.

The action of the City Council at its last
meeting in directing the commissioner OF
public works to make no contract for n
filtration system, and continuing the Joint
special committee which visited Law
renee, with instructions to visit the Petta-
consett station aud examine the city's
property available for the establish
ment Of plant, has occasioncd some In
quiry as to the object of the delay. The
inspection of the natural or sand filtra-
tion system at Lawrence satisfied the
committee of its utility and superiority
to the mechanical system, aud they were
unanimous In favor of adopting
q similar system. The city engineer pre-
pared report to be submitted To the
Council, in which he directed attention TO
the fact that the city owned 20 acres OF
suitable land near the pumping station
which was bought Tor that pur-
pose 20 years ago. Since IT had been
found that a mechanical filter would
cost 1921 900, plans had been made, levels
taken, test pits dug and estimates made
for sand filter for low filtration. also
land for settling place, supply conduits
and screens, leading mains and other APP
purteDanccs complete for connecting the
plant with the present works. The esti-
mate for supplying all tbs materials and
completing the work is about s20s, 900. Mr..
Shedd estimates that the cost Of the
annual maintenance OF slow filtra-
tion would be naturally less
than the cost of maintaining mechanical
plant OF the same daily capacity. The
engineer at the Lawrence station fixes
the cost OF cleaning the filter beds at
from 5000 to $500 an acre each
year, but thought the cost would
be materially less here in consequence Of
the fact that there was no silt in the Paw
tuxet as was the case in the Merrimac
river. Basing the cost at $500 an acre for
III acres, which the Providence plant
would occupy, Mr.. Shedd figures the cost ct
S4500, which Is less than one third of the
cost of chemicals alene for the mechanical
plant. The proposition Of Everson &
Liddle, the local contractors, to
build the plant for $200,0O0 is in the
possession of the City Council, and
with view to securing the necessary
Information, IL was deemed advisable to
delay definite action. Both branches have
taken the customary adjournment, and
the work cannot be
prosecuted before another year. The
and the committee, however,
are agreed that under the circumstances
the postponement is advisable and the
majority OF the City Council have con-
rurred In that disposition of the matter.

grand jury convene as soon as possible,
in order that indictments may be found

In commenting on this action the At

sufficiently strong to prevent this condi-

Chicago injunction granted by Judge
