CHICAGO. July i0-SlowIy, but steadily
and certainly, as belts the supreme power
of great nation, throughout that wide
stretch of It's domain where evil-disposed
persons are taking advantage OF an excep-
ttonal industrial condition 70 incite yio-

ment Is moving 70 the accomplishment of
that for which ats powers were delegated to
IL by the people. the preservation of order
and the safety OF life and property. At
Chicago, in cooperation with the state
and municipality, il has already brought
peace out of the condition OF war which
prevailed last week. At San Francisco.
Sacramento, Los Angeles and various
points in Colorado and Washington. when
the uuruiy created havoc. it has let loose
the dogs of war in token of its intention 10
have peace even If il has TO fight for il. In
this city The military arm has aceom-
plished its purpose and the judicial arm
has taken up the orderly course of its
duties, which include the liking upon the
guilty parties the measure of their crime
and the htting of the punishment thereto.
The first step in this procedure was the
assembling of the Federal grand jurv and
the delivery of a charge TO it by Judge
Grosscup. That it is the intention of the
national authorities not TO be turned aside
by mere technicalitles from an exhaustive
inquiry into the question which il has
undertaken to pass upon was evidenced at
the outset by the brusqueness with which
il swept aside the plea of privacy and priv
ilege which the Western Union Telegraph
Company, with a due regard for the
privacy of the messages of its clients was
forced 10 put in when the jury called for
the messages from President Debs to the
members of his order which had been
transmitted over its lines. The court held
that the public safety was paramount TO
private right, aud SO introduced i've dis
patches That II is the intention not to-
be too long about the work in hand Was
shown from the fact that the footsteps OF
the telegraph official who brought the
dispatches had scarcely ceased TO echo
along the corridor leading To the grand
jury room when that body fled into court
aud announced that 1t had found a true
bill of indictment. Pending the arrest OF
the person thus put under indictment his
name remained locked in the breast Of the
lord executioner. and the public was al
lowed to draw all Its eoncnsiors from the
premises aud such preliminary data as it
the man none doubted, and subsequent
developments justified this opinion.
Touching the outlook for the future out
side of Chicago, it may be said that to-
days dispatches were almost uniform in
tenor and to the effect that normal condi-
tions had already been restored or that
thay were rapidly approaching that stage;
and there seems TO be no reason at this
rrtf tn hat .fafa
sumption OF trade and traffic will meet with
any serious check. In other words, 10
does not seem possible, with all the forces
OF the Law and order as now arrayed, with
their leader pat TO his own defense at the
bar Of justice, with their ranks beginning
to be depicted by desertions. and with tho
strain which they have already endured,
that the American Railway Union can
rally its forces for a struggle which must
needs be long and discouraging at best.
Apparently, therefore. their only hope Of
triumph lies in the aid which they hope TO
get from union labor outside OF their or
ganizatiOn. As this is being written the
order for ali classes of labor in Chicago to
go on strike tomorrow morning Is being
promulgated, and Il is said that that Of

borers to strike and TO all who

orally the orders will be obeyed is proO-
lematcal. To great extent the effect has
already been discounted by the stagna-
ton OF business, aud II is known that some
OF the longest heads among the labor lead
ers believe that this action has been post
poned too long
