DEBs has evidently come to under
stand what is meant by melting REBEL
ion against the authority of the United
States government. and to save his own
precious skin he is now pretending that
he had nothing TO do with ordering the
strike, and that he is in no wise respon
sible for the diabolical outrages with
which it has been accompanied. He is
probably thoroughly frightened by the
stupendous extent of the calamities and
by the atrocious character of the crimes
and mischiefs which it has brought in
its train. He foresees that they will
arouse the overw helming indignation of
the American people. and hence the
to the strikers, in which he advises them
To abstain from all acts of violence. with
the full knowledge that it will be un-
needed. as the same hypocutIcal profess
ions have been heretofore. But he goes
further this time, and advices them that
while they have the right to quit work
they have no right TO interfere with any
new men who may be employed by the
railroad companies, If they can get them.
II this advice was sincere and was acted
upon by the strikers. he and they know
that it would not be twenty four hours
befoge every railroad in st. Paul would
be fully manned with all the crews nee
essary for their operation. The trouble
rs that it is pure hypocrisy. and that.
while processing to abstain from acts Of
violence or intimidation. the strikers are
depending wholly upon systematic in
timidation to prevent new men from oc
cupying their places Pioneer Press.

COURAGE AND CCWlRDiCE.
The Man of Abject Fear Nay BE Servo =,
i.yalid.

The Man of A bjsct Fear May BE a Servo -
I,yalid.
There is an old and often told stor-
of the officer who claimed more cred.
1t for his own conduct under fire than
for that of his men. They were
not afraid. and so they stood steady.
he argued. but | didn't run away.
although | was most damnably
0fraid. The reason Of that conten
ton is one that is generally admitted
and the world is NOT slow TO acknowl
edge the virtue of the constitution
coward whose cOGage lies in his
force of will. for there is such thing
rs constitutional cOwardice. and il
can be conquered if a mar's spirit j.,
greater than the tremOr of his nerves.
When the natural tremor is the
stronger and overcOmes his will. then
We write him down coward. But
what can be SAID of the man who
makes no effort at all and cares not
IN the east whether he be called a
coward or not? AS yet one cannot
believe that there are many such
men, but at the same time it is i'm
possible to ignore the fact that in
stances of this weak surrender are
growing more plentiful, and that
there is the same tendency to palii
ate cowardice that now seeks to pal
hate drunkenness and crime. In the
old days the drunkard and the thief
were not overtenderly handled. 1t
was held that they sinned through
what the American calls 'cussed-
ness, " and it was judged that cusseG.
ness could best be cured by being
whipped or put in the pillory or 9th
erwise strongly repressed.
Now 1t has been discovered that
the poor sinners are afflicted with
mental disease, and serious doubts
are cast on the- humanity of forcible
restraint, even though that restraint
takes the mild form of short terms
Of Imprisonment. With much more
truth might it be represented that
the coward cannot command his
nerves, and that as a nervous inva,
lid he rather merits pity than con
tempt. Such a view may be more
humane and charitable, but it Is far
from being expedient. By all means
let US hold it, if we will, with regard
70 a particular coward here and
there, but heaven forbid that we
should ever hold it with regard to
cDwardicc In general 1t is not in
the least likely that we ever shall dc
%, for the results would be SO imme
date and so deplorable that healthy
reaction would very soon set in

THE CABLE CAR MAN.
He Claims That He Faces Dangers

He Claims That He Faces Dangers
which Almost Unnerve Him.
When the railroad men left the ca
BILE ca: at the head of the Milwaukee
avenue viaduct the gripman threw the
lever forward with an emphatic zip
and said to the Chicago Record writer
"Those locomotive engineers think
they are the only men with nerve who
ride on the rails. Did you ever hear
them talking about how weak they
felt after their machine had just
missed knocking some clumsy farmer
over the telegraph wires and how they
sweat cold sweat when the baby
toddled in front of their engine? Did
you get onto their trick for a lay-otf be-
bause they have lost their nerve
through running fast and can't make
over ten miles an hour until they get
their nerve back again? If those en-
gineers would take this run they would
be wet through all the time and
wouldn't have nerve enough left to
sass II messenger boy,
There are more kids to the acre up
Milwaukee avenue than anywhere else
in the city, and every last one of them
plays in between the street car tracks.
We have close shaves every block
just like that Did you see that man
then? He had plenty of time to wait
for the three seconds it takes for us to
pass, but he couldn't wait, and we
grazed him. We don't run sixty miles
an hour, but you can kill man just
as quick at twelve miles an hour, and
it shakes you up just as much. There
isn't gripman in Chicago but breads
to make the downtown loop during
the rush hours. Providence looks af-
ter babies and drunken men, and be-
lieve we have n special providence
with us. You people may think we
have no feelings, but have seen men
run their grip cars into the barn and
then sit down, weak as cat and
white as sheet. Their nerves had
given out, and that was all that was
the matter with them
