THE STRIKE.

The strike situation, while il cannot
be said to be fully settled, is less alarm
ing than il has been for weeks. We
have now reached period when the
end of the late strike may be safely dis
counted. The ire of Uncle Sam has
been aroused, and the climax has thus
been fastened. That il will be but
few days when the trouble will have
passed there is every reason to believe.
and when the smoke has cleared away
which for a time has beclouded the
horizon of human hope. there will be
sharp reaction and trade and commerce
will be materially revived, and the reviv-
al will be at once the potential nucleus
around which trade will rapidly gather
and grow. The dark cloud which for a
time betokened strife and carnage now
happily presents silver lining of such
definite and unmistakable character as
to warrant the strongest hope of the
early adjustment of the present difficult
ties, and return Of national prosperity.
The darkest hour. which precedes the
break Of day, has passed. Let US take
courage, and dismiss all fear of dire and
disastrous results, and turn our stten-
ton to the all important matter of ad-
vancing the material interest of the
promising region in which we are locat-
ed, and relegate to the region of eternal
forgetfulness the memory Of the fact
that we were ever disturbed by the fear
of disaster as result of striking labor
organiz2 tons.

A Practical IokA

Excitement has been rife among the
Custer City Guards during the past
week, by reason of the constantly re-
curing rumors Of the alleged walk out"
OF the varied labor organizations of the
northern Hills. and the probable calling
out Of the guards for duty in that sec
ton. A well known member Of the
guards, whose aspirations inclined more
to the ornamental than the useful duties
Of military life, was sorely troubled oyer
the prospect, and being minus the frac-
tional part of finger, relied largely
upon that circumstance as an excuse for
remaining at home in case Of the COM
pany being called out. A number OF
the guards, conceiving the idea of per-
petrating joke upon him, donnsd their
uniforms on Wednesday night, after he
had retired, and proceeding to his house,
awoke him from his quiet slumbers, and
startled him with the information that
4 company Of regulars from Fort Robin
son had just arrived in town, and that
the Custer guards had been ordered out,
and had to proceed at once with the
Fort Robinson company to Deadwood
for active service. He arose hurriedly,
being urged by the boys, who with the
utmost difficulty succeeded in maintain
ing a serious demeanor. Being remind
ed Of the rough trip he was about to
undertake, and advised to don a sub
stcntial suit, he complied in a manner
20 indicative of excitement, and so
extremely ludicrous as TO amuse the
boys to a degree which nearly gave the
snap away by their loud efforts to sup
press their laughter. He finally sue
ceeded in arraying himself in appropri-
ate garb for the occasion, and after
supplying himself with a lunch Of but
tered bread, ETC., as advised by the boys,
he proceeded with them to the armory,
where he was left to cummune with
his troubled thoughts while the boys
went out to hunt the captain.
The boys went home. ard how long
the excited and sorely troubled guard
remained in waiting at the armory will
forever remain q matter of vague con-
lecture, as the victim of the scuryy joke
upon this delicate theme, is strongly
inclined to preserve the strictest reti-
cence.

Repressiug Anarchy,

The following brief but sensible ar
ticle upon the repression of anarchy, a
subject which at this time is largely
attracting public attention. recently ap-
psared in the National Tribune:
"Of course there is now much talk of
legislation repressiye of Anarchists and
anarchy. Very much of this is wild and
impracticable. All that is practicable,
and all that should be done, is to make
it much more emphatic in our laws and
their execution that, while allowing the
largest liberty to speech and peaceful
methods of agitation, any suggestions of
violence to persons and property shall be
sternly punished. No man or set of men
should be allowed to advocate even re-
motely any resort to violence. There
should be strong and definite penalties
for any counseling Of murder. arson,
destruction of property, or other forms
of terrorizing, and these should be
imposed relentlessly. Men who preach
these internal doctrines should be
held to be accomplices in ny overt
acts that result, and punished as sever
ely as the tools who carry out their
teachings. The poor fools who throw
bombs, or shoot or stab, or wreck trains
or burn buildings should not be made
to suffer any worse than the men with
whom they have associated, and who
have encouraged and applauded their
crimes. Sending to the gallows or the
penitentary of the whole nest Of rascals
to which they belong will speedily make
anarchistic teachings unpleasant, and
stop these outrages on society. Let us
have a specific law that any man who
counsels murder or arson actually COM
mits the crime in minor degree, and 10
liable to punishment, and then let Us
have that punishment infallibly inflict-
cd. And we must bsve no more Altgelds
and Pennoyers Governors of States
Such men, holding the pardoning pow.
or. are the greatest possible menace to
life and property. II Altgeld had not
been Governor of Illinois, Prendergast
would not have shot Mayor Harrison.
