interruption OF trains in Chicago and cities

railroads from taking them, resulting in

withdrawn, as merchants will not order

The boycott of the Pullman cars does not

The contract with the Pullman company
made June /, 1891. requires this company to
haul Pullman cars on its trains for term
of years, and this company would be re-
sponsible for any loss or damage sustained
by the Pullman company If the contract
should not be carried out by this company.
The loss, therefore, would not be that OF
the Pullman company, against which a
grievance is claimed, but against this

this railroad for transportation, and arbi-

THE INTEREST OF THE EMPLoYE.

There is one feature of the Debs hold-up
which intelligent railroad employes--and the
most of them are sensible men-ought TO
appreciate. 1t is that these are hard times
for railroads well all other indus
tries. The receipts Of all roads are a large
per cent. below those OF 1892 and the first
months Of 1893. Many of them are having
hard times to make both ends meet In
the last year thousands OF miles OF roads
have been placed in the hands OF receivers
because they have been unable TO pay
running expenses and interest on the bond
cd debt. Many of them have been forced
to reduce the wages of employees. Under
such conditions more than in times of
prosperity. the self-interest of the employees
should lead them to oppose any interrupt

which contained four hundred amendments
to the bill which Mr.. Voorhees, had re-
ported from the finance committee to the
Senate, was reported by the ex-confed-
crates. Mr.. Voorhees, passed to the rear
and Vest Harris and Jones came to the
front. On Thursday Senator Voorhees, re-
appeared and jumped into the fight. He

stake he became their champion. of all

in which he was personally interested. He
was not its author, but he was the Sen

Senate the bill which the Whisky Trust
had devised to give it control of the busi-

even the Sugar Trust schedule, is more in
famous. On Thursday he fought it through

sense of favors received from the agents
of the Whisky Trust, two of whom are
his townsmen, have put him in a position
where he has felt that he must do what
he can for the trust, and Mr.. Voorhees,
never does things by halves. 1t may

of the Sugar Trust. but Mr.. Voorhees,

And yet there has been no curtailment OF

little complaint or criticism on that score.
On the other hand. filibustering is prac-

has experienced little delay for the mere
sake Of delay"

leading measures passed by the House.

he. Its passage by the House was at

ATTORNEY-GENERA OLNEY'S Or
DER.


The instructions of Attorney-general OIL
ney to the United States officers in Cali
fornia to consider all trains carrying mails
as mail trains, and to arrest and proceed
against those who interfere with their run
ming for conspiracy, will have a tendency
to check the ardor of those ill-advised men
who have made haste to obey the decree of
Dictator Debs. The order is sensible one.
To run mail cars through the country with
out the cars attached which the public de-
mands in travelling would be to run them at
a great loss. To enable a railroad to con-
tract to haul certain number of mail cars
at certain periods, the managers have count
ed upon the revenues which will be derived
under ordinary circumstances from regular
passenger and Pullman coaches and express
cars. When, from any cause, the railroad
company does not receive this patronage, the
mail car will be run at loss. If it were
the fault of the company the government
could compel IL to transport the mails, but
when the failure should be due to the in
reference of combinations like that of Mr..
Debs the government could not reasonably
insist upon having its mail cars run at a
loss Having power to insist upon the car
rying of it's mails, and it being a. felony
by law to interfere in any manner with
their transportation, the governments right
is clear to insist that they shall be trans
ported in trains which will enable the rail-
roads to earn the money sufficient to pay
running expenses.
This order, it scarcely needs be said,
places the matter in an entirely different
light. The breaking up of any train in
which there is any part of car devoted
to the mail service is interfering with the
transportation Of the mails, and is a felony.
Hereafter. If this order is made general
the railroad managers endeavoring to dis
patch trains will have something more than
the assistance Of the not overzealous police
in cities like Chicago. but the whole force
of the United States government If the
United States marshars posse is not ample
10 prevent interference with mail trains the
regular troops can be employed. Men who
may be arrested by the local police may
easily escape. but the offenders arrested on
federal warrants on the charge of conspir-
acy will be sent to Jail if they cannot find
bond while awaiting trial. 1t would trouble
Mr. Debs to find bonds for several hundred
of his misguided followers while awaiting
trial grave charge conspiracy to
prevent the transportation of United States
mails.
