THE SITUATION.

The Courier-Journal of Louisville
KY, in its issue of Thursday says of
the strike situation:
after all that has happened in
the world, and particularly in our
part of it, since Bunker Hill and
Yorktown, it is sad to think that
any human being, possessed of or
binary intelligence should need to
be reminded of the principles that
underlay the American revolution.
If the war of the colonies for indie
pendence had failed the march of
human progress had been stopped
for a century at the very least Up
on the lines of the French revolu-
ton, which followed after, it could
not have succeeded, 1t could only
succeed, through the grace of
HEAVIER, as rational appeal from
tyranny to God made in sober
earnest by serious and brave men,
having the fear of God perpetually
before their eyes.
The rash men who, under the
pretext of redressing the wrongs of
labor, are bringing the principles of
the declaration of independence to
question, and perhaps discredit, and
putting in peril the free institutions
which were won by the sword of
Washington, andN his compatriots,
know not what they do; but nothing
is surer than that their movement,
if it could achieve success, would
bury beneath it all the accretions
of a century of human develop
ment.
Order is indispensable to liberty.
The maintenance of the law is in
dispensable to order.
Wages are not regulated by the
wage-earners, and enforced by
strikes and boycotts, but solely by
the law of supply and demand.
These are organic truths. They
are as irresistible as they are inevi-
table, And they are more just and
benign in their operation than leg
islative statutes can be, because
they are natural laws.
The man Debs, himself, is not
merely a clever charletan, he is an
anachronism. He is not a typical
workingman at all If he were, ac-
cording to his own logic, he would
still be a locomotive fireman. He
is book publisher, who lives on the
fat of the land and poses as friend
of labor. He is newspaper pub
Usher, who makes big income out
of the organization to which his
newspaper is a self-constituted or
gan. He has everything to gain
and nothing to lose, for, in advance,
he denies responsibility for the con-
sequences of his acts, or the actions
of the dark elements he has called
into being. If the worst should
come to the worst, and blood should
flow, he will be found safely en-
sconced in the fashionable hotel
where he makes his abode, whilst
his dupes are being moved down by
the Gatling guns Of the regulars"

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
Ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
Laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
Heys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
very Objectionable substance.

RAILWAY MANAGERS SUMMARY
The Strike Situation, in and Around
Chicago, As Viewed by
Railway Officials.

The Association of General Rail
way Managers, after conference in
Chicago, ILL.,, held on the evening
of the 9TH inst, have given to the
public press the following summary
of the strike situation in and about
that city:
Travel by the Chicago and East
ern Illinois line is very dangerous at
Thirty-6fth street, owing to the
stoning OF trains by the strikers
and sympathizers. Police protec-
ton is necessary at the Western
avenue yards of the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy, where every
attempt to move a freight train
starts a small riot.
The Illinois Central resumed its
suburban passenger service this
morning and it has continued thus
far without serious interruption,
few freight trains being moved.
Matters are more quiet at Sioux
City under protection of militia and
local authorities; passenger trains
are moving A bridge in the east
part of the city was set on fire and
considerably damaged. 1t was
temporarily repaired and trains can
pass.
Employees of the Water Valley
shops telegraphed resolutions con-
demning the strike.
Twelve of the employees at the
Clinton shops, who had quit work,
reported for duty this morning.
All Illinois Central employees at
Bloomington signed and sent to the
officers of the company a written
statement that they would stand
squarely by this company in the la
Dor troubles now existing.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe is running many more freight
trains than heretofore since the
strike began, Passenger trains be-
tween here and Denver are all on
time, and the outlook is that the
long delayed passengers at Ration
will be released tonight.
The Baltimore and Ohio passen-
ger trains are about on time. When
attempting to move some gondolas
at Ninety-frst street the train was
swung down and a crowd intimidat-
ed the engineer with drawn revol-
vers and they we're forced to aban-
don further attempts at freight
moving.
The situation at the stock yards
and along the lines of the Rock Is
land is hourly growing more serious.
An attempt to take train out to
the stock yards this afternoon, al
though protected by U. S. troops,
was abandoned Rioting along the
line of the Rock Island is coming
northward and has reached Thir-
tieth street, where the mob was
overturning freight cars and wreck
ing property, barricading the main
line tracks of the Rock Island and
Lake Shore roads. One hundred
police have been sent to check the
mob.
On the Chicago and Eastern H.
linois at West Union, Ind, three
unknown men bound and gagged
the operator because he would not
Join the strikers. He was found
and released some hours later.

1T STRONG SUPPORT,

Furniture that is not pleasing to
the eve is fit for nothing but a barn
Elegance is one thing and strength
is another, but there is not the
least reason why the two should not

that a thing is cheap does not nee
essarily make it cheap. To say
that our furniture is cheap scarcely
does it justice. 1t fills the bill IN

MORE CHARGES MADE,

The leading sensation in Schuylkill county,
that of the alleged charges preferred against
the officials of the Schuylkil amshouse, was
given another airing ut public meeting held
in PottsVille ON Monday. There were about
1850 people present, representing various parts
of the county. General j. X. Sigfricd, chair
man of the special investigating committee,
presided at the meeting and Rev w. B. Beh-
mey acted as secretary. Rev. j. w. frey, ID.
d., of Pottsville, was the principal speaker,
and he made number of new allegations in
addition TO those made by Rev George Gaul
| last week. He charged the ulmshouse officials
with the undue expenditure of the public
money. He said $500 was expended during
the year 1893 for liquor and cigars. OF this
amount, he said, $685. went for cigars, few of
which, if any, were used outside of the insti-
tuition, having been given chiefly to VISITORS;
81, 800 was expended for liquors, $500 of which
went for the use of the hospital and the bal
ance, he alleged, was used in the office. In
addition to these large bills there were other
large bills for drugs.
While an investigation was being made last
year, the speaker said, scenes were witnessed
in the Office in the daytime which were highly
| improper. Doctor frey said that S3O, $50. i2
had been expended during the year 1893 for
indoor expenses, more than So, 900 for outdoor
relief, making total expenditure of more
than S62,0OO
Notwithstanding this expense" continued
the doctor, lit was only few weeks ago that
an additional appropriation of $4,000 had to
be made, proportional part of which went to
pay expenses of the years of 1892 and 1888"
Resolutions were adopted which call upon
the district attorney and county officials to
make complete investigation of the charges.
