The Folly of 1t.

As the Lynchburg AdUdnce truly
says, the riotous strikers in Chicago in
destroying property are not injurine
the Pullman Company, the real object
of their animosity The railroad com
panies have contracts with the Pull
man Company, and they are RESPONSE
BILE to that company for any failure to
carry out the contract. The city OF
Chicago is responsible to the railroad
company for any destruction of their
property 10y the mob. The Illinois
State Legislature, in 1887, passed an
act, TIL. first section of which is as fol-
lows:
Whenever any building, or real or
personal property, except property in
transit, shall be destroyed or injured
in consequence of any riot or mob com
posed of twelve or more persons, the
city, or if not in the city, the county in
which such property was destroyed,
shall be liable to an action by or in be-
half of the party whose property was
thus destroyed, or injured, for three
fOurths of the damage sustained by
reason thereof"
As soon as order is restored in Chica-
go bills for damages to the amount of
millions of dollars will be presented to
the city for payment, and the tax-pa
ers of Chicago, including the strikers
themselves, will have to foot the bills.
The railroads may suffer to the extent
of one-fourth of the damage, but the
Pullman company will suffer no pecu-
mary loss.

The Present Strike Small in Comparison
with ~.

Newspaper writers, as well as the
people of Chicago, have fallen into the
mistake of calling the Pullman boycott
the largest labor demonstration i'll ul1o
history of our country. A close ad-
hesion to facts, however, requires the
confession that, great as the Chicago
strike is and perilous as the situation
has become, the Pullman boycott is
yet small in comparison with the
famous strike of 1877. In that year
the railway strike spread from the At
lantic to the Pacific Ocean, and lasted
nearly two months. Millions of dol
lars worth of property was consumed
by incendiary fires hundreds of lives
were lost by rioting and bloodshed, and
the paralysis of commerce in that year
was ten times more effectual than is
the case now.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
was tied up throughout its entire
length, the Pennsylvania system was
almost entirely crippled, and the
Vanderbilt lines were affected at sew
eral points, while all the railways
centering in Pittsburg were unable to
run train for nearly two weeks.
1t is mistake also to claim that the
intervention of the Federal authorities
at Chicago is the first time such aid
has been invoked. In 1877 President
Hayes issued a special proclamation to
the rioters and ordered out 800 artillery
men to suppress mob violence at Mar
tinsburg Herald.

TO INVESTIGATE THE STRIKE.
President Cleveland Decides to Appoint a
Commission.

President Cleveland Decides to Appoint a
Commission.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-It is official
ly announced tonight that the Presi-
dent has determined to appoint com
mission with authority to examine in
to the causes of the controversies, the
conditions accompanying and the best
means for adjusting all labor differ
ences, such as have been created in
Chicago and other parts of the coun-
try during the past two weeks. This
decision was reached after due consid-
Grafton of the entire subject and a
conference this afternoon at the White
House between the President and John
w. Hayes, secretary treasurer of the
Knights of Labor, and Messrs. Thomas
B. Mcclure and Charles A. French, of
the executive board of the Knights of
Labor. Mr.. Jacob G.. Schonfarber,
editor of the Knights of Labor Jour-
nal, was also present. The conference
lasted two hours. During this time
the phases of the strike, the causes
leading up to it and kindred subjects
were discussed, and it was suggested
to the President that he exercise his
prerOgative under the law of 1888,
which authorizes the appointment of
such a commission as is contemplated
The President informed Mr.. Hayes
and others that he would appoint a
commission. but 1ntimated that he
would not do so until all troubles
growing out of the great strike had
been adjusted and the railway bust
ness of the country settled down to its
normal State.
THE LAW FOR 1T.
The authority for the President to
appoint a commission is found in sec
ton 6, chapter 1903, of tine Revised
Statutes, which reads as follows:
THAT the President may select two
commissioners, one of whom. at least,
shall be a resident of the State or
Territory In which the controversy
arises, who, together with the commits
sioner of labor, shall constitute a tenn
porary commission for the purpose of
examining the causes of the contrO-
yersies and the conditions accompany
ing and the best means for adjusting
it, che result of which examination
shall be Immediately reported to the
President and Congress, and on the
rendering of such report the services
of the two commissioners shall cease.
The services of the commission may be
ordered at the time by the President
for the purpose of settling a contro-
versy, such as contemplated thereby,
upon his own motion or upon the ap-
plication of the executive Of a State"

The PRESIDENT AND THE LABOR
LEADERs.-The statement made by
Mr.. John w. Hayes, the general secre-
tary of the Knights of Labor, that the
President will appoint an arbitration
commission is most interesting an
nouncement. The delegation of labor
leaders, headed by Mr.. Hayes, had a
satisfactory interview with the Presi-
dent. They called his attention to an
act of Congress passed in 1888. known
as the O'Neill act. This act authorizes
the President to appoint two arbitra-
tors, who, with the United States labor
commissioner, Mr.. Carroll D. Wright,
act as a board of arbitration, with
power TO administer oaths and to send
for persons and papers. The labor
men expressed themselves as highly
pleased with the President and his re-
ception of them.
Mr.. Cleveland has been subjected to
some animadversion from labor organ
iZatiOns because OF his use of the army
in Chicago and at other points. Such
criticism is eminently unjust. 1t is
Mr.. Cleveland's sworn duty to see that
TIE laws are executed and if he failed
to do that through fear of giving Of
fence to any class of men he would not
be worthy to occupy the place he fills.
1t is probable that the laboring men of
the land have not more sincere friend
than Mr.. Cleveland, or one who more
ardently desires that they should re-
ceive the benefit of their labor to the
fullest extent.-BaltinOre Sun of Fri

j. w. Rumble Drowned.

Mr.. J. w. Rumple, Receiver of the Old
Dominion Supply Company, and former
President of the Grottoes Company, at Shen-
dun, was drowned on Saturday evening at the
junction of North and Middle rivers where
he was fishing. As he was alone, it is not
known how it occurred. The next morning
search was made, when his body was found
in the river at the place he was fishing. He
was about 35 years of age. He had been
married about two years and leaves a widow
and one child. He was son of Rev. DIR.
Rumple, Presbyterian minister of Salisbury,
N. c., to which place his remains were taken
for burial. He was good business man and
was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
His life was insured for IS, 900 in life insur-
ance company, and for $4,000 in an accident
insurance company.
