OBSERVING THAT the Reading
Times, in this as in most party mat
ters the best expression of the wisdom
of Berks Republicanism, is very earn
est in its advocacy of General Gregg's
nomination for congress in the Berks-
Lehigh district, the Philadelphia Press
concurs with that journal in the belief,
several days ago advanced in THE
TRIBUNE, that it would be most ex-
cellent nomination to make. Says the
Press: "The district is presumed to
be hopelessly Democratic, but with
such candidate as General Gregg and
a canvass for the enlightenment Of the
people on the Democratic tariff policy,
it might not be impossible to change

Call it what you please, snarl at it as
mnch as you choose, sputter, fret, i'm
precate and storm how you will, Mr..
President, the fact yet remains, in
startling distinctness, that you have
sullenly bowed your once imperious
- head to the yoke at the one time in
your whole strange career when, had
you still stood erect, it would have
made you, as a man, so much stronger,
SO much braver, so infinitely more COM
handing than your party that it would
In sheer self-defense have had to strive
to come up to you and cling to you or
else go down in abyssmal chaos and
contempt.
You had it in your power to run up
the flag Of unconditional surrender. A
veto would have done it, and it would
have been received by the business in
terests of the country, despite the ter
rible strain to which needless Demo-
cratic experiment had subjected them
in the night mare months of the past
year, with general and spontaneous
cry Of gladness. They would have
known and they would have rejoiced
at their knowledge that it meant the
end Of the paralysis and the certain
continuance of benefcent tariff law
under which there had been prosper
lty, uniform and assured. You have
struck, instead, the miserable colors of
submission and humiliation; nor is the
milky whiteness of that emblem of
surrender darkened by the muttered
threats and vengeful platitudes which
your disarmed pen hurls in pitiable
impotence against the agents of your
defeat.
You "are not better than the masses
Of your party"-although people once
labeled you as better-but, Mr.. Presi-
dent, you might have been. You were
elected chief executive, not simply of
the democratic organization,n your
new solicitude for which forms the
pretext of your unhappy back-down,
nor solely of the particular states to
which you, in queer Interpretation
of your constitutional functions, have
lately come to address executive mes
sages; you were chosen and you are
paid to be president of the whole peo-
pie and of the whole country. That
people and that nation demanded your
allegiance, and not simply the ragged
party and beggarly section which seem
to comprise the boundary of your of
fetal interest and concern. The lofty
words that you utter about "treason"
in your "party's camp" and the
communism of pelf'' which ran riot
in your party's caucuses simply damn
you the deeper as craven who, know
Ing and foretelling the danger, lacked
at its crisis the courage of your faith.
Mr.. President, the people once
judged you to be better that your polit-
ical associations. Acting upon that
belief they took you out of condition
whence few presidents emerge, and
honored you far beyond the custom of
our land. In q time of limited power
for action of any kind, you were pro-
fuse of words and plethoric of prom
ises. The time then came when words
alone would not suffice. At this turn
ing point of your lifetime, you have
disappointed your friends, failed to
placate your enemies and disgusted all
who were yet undecided as to your
true character. They know you now
as a man of inflated fame, as man
whose talk sounds big while his deed
grows small.

TITS significant that Populist candi-

IN THE QUICK capture of the mis-
creants who committed the recent
burglaries in this city, the police au-

spirited conception of their duty. The
burglar is an accessory to enterprising
Scranton who may well be dispensed
with.

WHEN THE Democrats Of West
Pittston nominated Attorney w, l..
Hibbs for the legislature they took a
long step toward getting out of the
deep minority rut that is proverbial in
that district. If men of the stamp of
Mr.. Hibbs were more generally named
for responsible office by the party to
which he belongs, it would stand a
better show of final resurrection and
redemption.

turn from the fourth charge that Cap
tain Delaney heard cry for help from
q wounded member of Company G.
The impetus at which he was going
took him to the Federal breastworks
with his company, but once there he
appealed to the men of Company 9 to
go out with him and help bring in the
wounded, but all refused. Then Cap
tain Delaney appealed to the men of
his own company, but they refused.
To go, they said, was certain death, as
the space between the lines was verit-
able hell. Then it was that Captain
Delaney made up his mind to rescue
the man. Leaping the breastworks he
ran out to his comrade and lifting him
on his back he started on the return
amidst storm of bullets that nipped
his clothing and cut the ground from
beneath his feet. But he saved his man,
and he didn't think so very much of it
at the time, and he has forgotten the
mans name now.n
In nearly thirty years only 500
medals of honor have been granted to
the soldiers of the United States. The
one just granted to Captain Delany, in
addition to honoring deserving vet
eran, is notable for the fact that it
forms the second, if not the third,
vouchsafed to what is now Lacka-
wanna county. The fact that in ma
tion of 70,00O,O00 inhabitants, two of
the 500 medals thus distributed have
come to this one county is striking
tribute to the gallantry of our loyal
veterans. The instinct of bravery and
heroism distinguished the volunteers
from Lackawanna in time of war; and
it distinguishes them today in time of
peace. Even our sons of veterans in
the National guard inherit this in
stinct; for are they not first among
the militia regiments of the state?

THE STRIKE OVER.

1t is obvious to every body who is not
blind that the backbone of the strike
is broken, and that no attempt to revive it
can succeed. The labor leaders doubt
less see this as clearly as anybody, and
all the noise they are now making is
for the purpose of concealing their dis
comfture. If Sovereign could get lot
of the Knights of Labor to strike he
might taper off the struggle SO as to
make its ending less abrupt. and there
fore less noticeable. But the signs are
that comparatively few of that organiza-
tions are going to accommodate him. They
are in the slang of the period "on to-
his programme, and comparatively
few of them are manifesting disposition
to sacrifice themselves for his benefit.
The renewed attempt to get the Pullman
company to arbitrate is move in the
same direction. If the company would
only yield little bit, then Mr.. Debs and
his supporters could say with some
plausibility that the concession had
brought the strike to an end. But no.
CONS cSSdbo navy w AS1P pun 1IOOo anu
Sovereign out of their scrapes, and
the only thing left for them is to beat an
ignominious retreat, shouting as they
fee away that the failure of the strike
sounds the death knell of liberty to the
working classes, and enthrones the
capitalistic classes. But it is the effect
on themselves that Debs and Sovereign
are worrying about much more than the
effect on the working classes Both OF
them see looming up before them day
OF judgment, whena they will have to
give an account of their stewardship tc
the organizations of which they are the
heads When that day arrives Debs will
be altogether less jaunty of manner
than he has been for two weeks past.
There will be an empty treasury to ex-
plain, and there will be lot of men out
of jobs and out of money standing round
and firing questions at him that he will
not take pleasure in answering. He is
under Indictment in the Federal court,
now, and there is good prospect that he
may have to spend term in the compul-
sorry service of the country. But this
punishment will be much less severe
than that which will come to i'm from
the denunciations OF the thousands oil
men he has duped into blindly following
his programme. Debs staked his whole
future upon this strike. He has lost
and now the only thing left for him is
to 60 into obscurity, followed by the
objurgations of tens of thousands of mer
whom he has cruelty lured into conducl
that will inevitably involve many Of
them in protracted suffering and want.
The Portland daily press., 1894-07-13

Evidently the Populist party are in
thorough sympathy with Kyle and
PETER, and would if they could have had
their way, have allowed Debs to run the
country until the railroads consented to
discontinue the use of Pullman cars.
Out in Minnesota they were SO incensed
at Senator Davis's reply to the request
of labor leaders to support Kyle's reso-
luton that they formally demanded his
impeachment In Nebraska they de-
nounced Cleveland for his autocratic ac-
ton in sending troops to Chicago. Kan
sas and Colorado have yet to be heard
from, but there is no doubt that the
Populists of those States will be in full
accord with their Minnesota and Me-
braska brethren. A party that endorses
Waite and Llewelling would naturally
rally enthusiastically around Debs.

80 Broadway, New York City, July 10, 1894
To The BundhoIders and Stockholders Of
the Union Pacific Railway Company,
and Of Other Companies Comprised
in The Union Pacific System:

The undersigned Committee was orga-
niZed in November, 1888, for the purpose of
preparing and carrying out plan Of Re-
organization of the System of the Union
Pacific Railway Company.
. The Committee, with the assistance of
Receivers, .has investigated the financial
condition and earning capacity of the sew
eral companies comprised in the system
with a view to the ultimate reorganization
OF the whole system so far as this shall be
found practicable and desirable.
Inasmuch as any Plan of Reorganization
should be based upon readjustment of the
debt to the United States, the Committee IS
first efforts have been directed to arranging
the terms of such readjustment.
This debt with interest, amounts to about

Only a small part of the loss from the

fall upon the railroads. The city will
