The Great Strike.

IL is feared that the great railroad
strike in Chicago has not yet reached
its height, but that unless put down
at once it will extend to all trades
and over 100000 men in Chicago,
representing nearly every branch OF
wage earners, vii Join in the strike.
The Pullman managers fatty refuse
to have anything TO do with the
strikers. They Will not arbitrate, as
they say they have nothing to arbi-
trate. In an interview Mr.. Wickes,
vice-president of the Pullman corpo-
ration, SAYS: There is a principle
involved in this matter which the
Pullman company will not surrender.
1t is that employers must be permit.
ted to run their business in their own
way and without interference from
their employees or anybody else. We
shall not allow any one to til us
how our business shall be conducted
and we shall not consent to arbitra-
ton. Our business is our own pri-
vate affair and we want no interior
ence from federal or State or any
other government"
The government has taken a decid-
ed stand against the strikers aud the
President has issued a couple OF
proclamations, in which he notifies
all persons to refrain from aiding or
countenancing lawlessness, and or
dering the mobs to dispsrse. Troops
from various points have been sent
into Chicago and Gen. Miles of the
q. S. Army given sole control oil
them. The strike is not confined to
Chicago, but in other parts of the
West, including North Dakota, Mon.
tana, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming
Colorado, Utah and New Mexico, is
the strike going on.
Geo. M. Pullman, who is at his
summer residence at Alexandria Bay
N. Y, makes the following state
ment: "There is no solution practi
cal unless those who wish to be EN-
ployed in the Pullman shops realize
and act upon the rule of business
that the aggregate cost of piece o
work must not exceed it's selling
price. The continuous violation O
that rule must wreck the Pullman
shops. or any shops, and permanent
ly stop all work of it's employees
This company cannot control the
selling price OF cars and it cannot
pay more for making them than il
can contract to sell them for. 1t is
impossible to submit to arbitration
whether or not it shall do so, anC
that it shall do so is the only demand
made upon the company"

PILING UP THE SUGAR.-The abso-
lutte necessity for making the new
duty on sugar operative as soon as
the bill goes into effect is shown in a
most striking manner by reports re-
ceived of recent operations of the
sugar trust. The trust has been for
some time past piling up enormous
stocks of raw sugar in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston. The
wharves are loaded with sugar con-
signed to the trust. The figures
show that in the last six months
there is a gain of 200, 900 tons in the
amount of raw sugar imported.
There can be but one reason for this,
and that is that the managers of the
trust long ago prepared to take adj
vantage of the increase in the duty.
The 400,O00,000 pounds already in
stock would mean an extra profit OF
"a, 100000 to the trust in addition
to the regular profits.

Vermont Postmasters.
THE WAY TREY AVOID POLITICS GRAPH
ICALLY DESCRIBED.
From the New York SUM-

iCALLY DESCRIBED.
From the New York SUM-
We regret to notice that Wilson
Shannon Bissells precepts to the
postmasters are not needed.
At the cost of much labor of CON-
position to himself and printing TO
the government, the Postmaster
General issued, only the other day,
circular warning postmasters, es-
pecially of the first, second and third
degrees, To beware of politics and to
flee conventions. He tried to recall
the minds of his erring subordinates
to the sublime principles announced
by MIR. Cleveland in 1856 in his proc
lamation in restraint of otfice-hold-
ers. 1.-THE influence of federal office
holders" said the proclamation,
"shOuld not be felt in the manipula-
ton of political primary meetings
and conventions. The use by these
otfic ais of their positions, to com
pass their selection as delegates to
political conventions is indecent and
unfair; and proper regard for the
properties and requirements of Off.
cial place will also prevent their as
suming the active conduct of politi-
cal campaigns.
This declaration to office-holders
was still sharp in their ears when the
Vermont Democratic convention as,
sembled last Thursday. Did the
postmasters stay in their offices and
stamp letters with the energy of de.
spair? Did they follow the directions
of Mr.. Bissell and bow before that re-
enforced order of his chief? The dis
patche from Burlington compel us
to answer a reluctant "No" to these
questions. Postmaster Donnelly OF
Vergennes, Postmaster Brown OF
Brandon, Postmaster Hanrahan oil
Rutland, Postmaster Robinson oil
Bennington, land scores of other
postmasters S" were delegates. Col
lectors, the perennial Bradley B.
Smalley at their head, and deputy
collectors, United States Attorney
a United States Marshal, superin.
tendent of federal buildings and a
United States Consul were in the
faithful band. The convention, in
fact, twas largely composed of fed,
eral otfice-holders."
Why is Mr.. Bssell thus publicly
scorned? Why is the ordinance Of
Mr.. Cleveland thus made naught OF
by the Democratic office-holders Of

holders assume that since Mr.. Cleve.
land was renominated by federal
office-holders in 1888, his rule against
the political activity of office holders
has been abrogated? In any case, ii
is sad to see the administration with.
out influence with the administra.
ton, and it is especially sad to see
Mr.. Bissell's recent toll and pains
thrown away.

Old Governor Tom.

The following extract is taken from
the sketch of Gov. Thos. Chittenden
by G. H. Davenport in the historical
biography of "Men of Vermont" Just
issued by the Transcript Publishing
Co..
" His wise and foresighted benevo-
lence had chance to show itself in
providing food for the people, first at
Arlington, where the disorders of the
times and the leaving of their unhar-
vested fields had brought danger of
a famine, and afterwards, after the
war, at Williston, where early frosts
had done great harm. The Govern
or's granaries were full, and they were
freely emptied for the benefit of his
suffering neighbors. AT Arlington he
visited every family periodically,
took an account of the provisions on
hand, and by impartial and dsinter-
ested distribution saw to 1t that no
one persisted for want that hard win
ter. At Williston, so one historian
SAYS, men came from scores of miles
away through the snow to draw food
on handsleds for their suffering fani-
lies. When they offered pay or secur-
ity his reply was that he had no corn
to sell to those who were hungry.
The only restriction was that they
should leave enough for seed. And
the tale has been handed down in
many family how they would have
starved that cold winter but for the
corn of Old Governor Tom.

LAW WILL BE SUSTAINED. = No

sistance to law and the destruction
of property can aehievesuccess in the
United States. When the strikers in
Chicago and it's suburbs forcibly re-
sisted the running of trains and be-
gan to burn cars they made the COL
lapse of their attempt to coerce the
railroad companies absolutely GER
tain. An overwhelming majority of
the American people are firm uphold
ers of law. They realize that when
the law is assailed blowis struck at
the rights of every citizen, at the
foundation of society and at the SOW
ereignty Of the republic. In an emer-

The old flag won victory in Chi
cago on the Fourth. Mrs. Hammond,
daughter of a British officer, had an
nounced her intention to display a
confederate flag from her window,
but crowd gathered in front and
talked so seriously that she was
forced to confess that she had no
confederate flag. She had ordered
one but it had not been sent to the
house-probably because there is no
rebel flag factory in Chicago. She
afterward hung out the British flag,
but this was torn down and de-
stroyed by an American boy who
thought it was the real confederate
thing. Later in the day the crowd
came back and covered the premises
with the national colors.

THE Cost OF RIoTNG.-The whole
sale destruction of property by the
mob in Chicago promises to be very
expensive for Cook county. The in
teresting fact is recalled that the
riots at Pittsburg a few years ago
cost that county over $4,000,O0O,
of which $1,600,000 went to the
Pennsylvania road. Scarcely one
railroad entering Chicago has esca ped
riot damage thus far, and the END is
not yet. Setting aside all considera-
tions as to the other deplorable con-
sequence of mob violence, there is
nothing that is more expensive than
the folly of permitting it to work its
will.

President Cleveland and Governor
AItgeId,

The felicitously expressed and COM
prehensive telegram in which Presi-
dent Cleveland answered Gov. Alt
geld's half a column of legal quibbing
was a chef d'euvre in its way. The
Governor of Illinois is placed by it
on the canvas so that the people can
see and appreciate in the whole effect
of the skilful portraiture just the
manner of man he is. 1t will be en-
craven upon the popular recollection
by the telegram, that in an "hour OF
danger and public distress" he chose
to strengthen the riotous element in
a great city, where the mob had al
most had control, by disputing the
right of the General Government
to do anything toward rendering
property and life secure in that COM
munity. Governor Altgeld will not
speedily forget the prompt, natural
and conclusive reply of the President
of the United States, which was:-
"While am still persuaded that
have neither transcended my author
ity nor dnty in the emergency that
confronts us, it seems to me that in
this hour of danger and public dis
tress discussion may we'll give way
to active effort on the part of all in

The new riot gun which has been
plat ed in the hands of United States
marshals in the vicinity of Chicago,
is described as deadly cross between
the Calling and the French mitrail-
leuse, which will carry death and de-
struction in it's wake. The gun, which
is shoulder rifle of less weight than
the average army weapon, although
carrying a larger bore, discharges six
twelve calibre cartridges, each con-
tanning twelve buckshot the size of a
we'll developed pea, while the entire
load may be discharged in five Sec
onds, and reloading be effected in
one-balf minute. Vita the buckshot
of each cartridge scattering as dis,
charged, this gun, with proper aim,
will enable a man at bay to disa BILE
anywhere from 100 to $50 rioters to
the minute. U. S. Marshal Arnold
states that with five of the riot guns
his men, if fairly well protected, could
successfully withstand a mob OF So
900 rioters.

The great strike, which threatens
to tie up all the lines of travel, es-
pecially in the West, and may cause
great loss of life, is as unjust as any
thing we'll can be. 1t makes the rail-
roads, against which the employees
have no grievance whatever, and the
innocent travelling public as well,
suffer disastrously without cause,
which is a grievous wrong. 1t is very
unfortunate for the American Rail-
road Union to have for its head and
general dictator E. V. Debs, who ap-
pears to not only be seeking notorie-
ty but believes himself bigger man
than the United States. That he
will see his mistake before long all
will hope. The strike grows out of a
disagreement between the Pullman
car manufacturers and their employees
and the general strike has been or
dered. Organization is essential to
the protection of labor, but it wants
good brains and honest hearts at it's
head to direct affairs; otherwise in
the hands of hot-headed or selfish,
scheming men it becomes a curse to
labor instead of blessing. Even if
the strike should succeed, and we YER
lily believe it will not, it cannot pos
sibly yield any of the fruits of victory
to those engaged in it, because it is
not right.
