CHICAGO, July 10.-Slowly but steadily,
calmly but certainly. as BELTS supreme
power of q great nation, throughout all
that wide stretch of its domain where
eVil-disposed persons are taking advan-
Jage of an exceptional condition to incite
violence and bloodshed, the Federal Gov
ernment is moving to the accomplish
ment of that for which its powers were
delegated to it by the people, the preser-
vation of order and the safety of lie aud
property. At Chicago, IL consultation
with the State and municipality, it has
already brought peace out OF condition
OF war which prevailed last week. At
San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles
and various points in Colorado and
Washington where the unruly are ere
ating havoc. it has let loose the dogs Of
war in token OF its intention to have
peace. even if it has TO fight for it.
In this city the military arm has ac-
complished its purpose, and the judicial
arm has taken up the orderly course-of
its duties, which include the liking upon
the guilty parties the measure OF their
crime and the fitting punishment thereto.
The first step in this procedure was the
assembling OF the Federal Grand Jury
and the delivery of charge to it by Judge
GrosScup, as set forth in eXtenso else
where in these dispatches. That il is the
intention of the national authorities not
TO be turned aside from an exhaustive in
quiry into the questions which it has un-
dertaken to pass upon by mere techni-
of 20 nntSQf hU fbQ q
brusqueness by which it swept aside the
plea of privacy and privilege which the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
with due regard for the privacy of mes
sages of its clients, was forced 10 put III,
when -the jury called for the messages
from President Debs to the members OF
his order which had been transmitted
over it's lines. The court held that public
safety was paramount 30 privacy, and or
dered that the dispatches be produced.
That it is the intention of the Govern
ment not to be too long about the work In
hand was shown from the fact that the
footsteps of the telegraph official who
brought the dispatches had scarcely
ceased to echo along the corridor leading
TO the Grand Jury when that body filed
into the court and announced that 1t had
found a true bill of Indictment. Pending
the arrest of the person thus put under in-
dictment the name remained locked in

the public was allowed to draw all its own
conclusions from the premises and such
preliminary data as it had at hand. That
President Debs was the man none
doubted, and subsequent developments
justified the surmise.
Touching the outlook for the future out
side of Chicago, it may be said that to-
days dispatches are almost uniform in
tenor to the effect that normal conditions
have already been restored, or that they
were rapidly approaching that state, and
there seems to be no reason, at this writ
ing, to suppose that the progress toward
q complete resumption OF trade and traf-
tic will meet with any serious check as
the coming days shall succeed each other.
In other words, it does not seem possible,
with all the forces of law and order as
now arrayed, with their leader put to his
own defense at the bar of Justice, with
their ranks beginning to be depleted by
desertions, and with the strain which they
have already endured, that the American
Hallway Union can rally its forces for
struggle which must needs be long and
discouraging at best. Apparently, there
fore their only hope of final triumph lies
ia aid which they hope to get from union
labor outside OF their organization.
AS this IS being written. the order for
all classes of labor III Chicago to go on
strike tomorrow morning is being pro-
Inulgated. and it is said that Grand Mas
ter Workman Sovereign OF the knights
OF Labor, calling on all mem bers to strike,
and all who sympathize with the Pullman
strikers ali over the country to come out
with them, is expected to follow quickly.
How generally the order will be obeyed
is problematical.
To a great extent the effect has already
been discounted by the stagnation, and it
is known that some OF the longest heads
of the labor leaders believe that the ac-
ton has been postponed too long to be
effective. At sunset the Nation Will
