CAUSE OF THE GREAT
STRIKE.

The great railroad strike that com
menced last week originated, as is well
known, with the strike of the employees
of the Pullman Palace Car Co. at Pull
man, LII. At that place over 1000 men
are employed by the above named COM
pany. Geo. NJ. Pullman and his COM
pany own the town, and have property
there valued at ten-milliOn dollars.
They control everything, even the as
sessment OF their own property, and
only pay $4,000 year on this vast
real estate interest, or one and a half
mills on the dollar, if the property was
assessed at its real value. Every en-
ploye is compelled to rent house of the
company, and pay a most exorbitant
rate. The employees are charged a
double price for everything. Water.
gas, etc., costs just twice as much as it
does in Chicago. 1t costs $50 month
for house worth $500. Yet the wages
OF employees have been steadily reduced
until they only averaged about dollar
oay. Inc conditions got so bad that
recently the men struck, and kept up
the unequal contest for several weeks
until the railroad men throughout the
country took up their cause. Aid came
IN from every direction to feed the fam
lshed children of that oppressed city,
and the American Railway Union gave
orders that the members of that new
but great organization should refuse to
handle the Pullman cars on all the roads
using them. The strike at first only
applied to the Pullman sleeping cars,
but the railroad companies commenced
10 discharge the men who refused to
handle the despised sleepers. Of course
this precipitated general strike on all
the roads where men were thus dis
charged, which includes the most of
the leading roads in the countrv.-Ex.

The Rev. Henry L. Foote, rector of
Christ Episcopal church of St. Joseph,
MO-, has decided to resign from his
parish because some of his parishioners
criticized him for having invited COL
ored clergyman to eat with him at
church festival. And yet we boast of
our christian civilization and equal
rights. Shame on such an assemblage
OF alleged christian people who thus
condemn and re-enslave one of Gods
servants, and in the same breath sing
praises to Him who must look down
upon such an congregation with pitying
scorn, and weep over their vile hypoc-
racY.

FUNlSHlNG THE INNOCENT.

before railing at Russia and de-
nounclng the lawlessness of the law in
mat country it might be we'll to see
"nether the process or justice does not
more often miscarry in this country
than IN that, says the Chicago Record.
Indiana furnishes an example of what
may any day happen in almost any
state in the union.
A German carpenter was assaulted in
Logansport and badly injured. The
man who assaulted him was arrested
and locked up in Jail. The carpenter
was also locked up in the same Jail as
witness. Time passed and the Grim
mai was bailed out. At the June
term OF court the case was put over
until September, but the carpenter was
Kept locked up as witness while the
criminal roamed the country. Tired
OF the confinement and knowing no
other way to escape, the carpenter
committed suicide in his cell and the
criminal will 60 free.
II there is anywhere worse per-
version of what is called Justice if
certainly does not exist outside of the
| nlted States. 1t is such admins
tratlon OF injustice that makes anarch-
ISIS and begets wholesome contempt
Tor law and precedents. In this case it
was the injured man who was pun
lshed and driven to suicide while the
real criminal was at liberty and liv
ing in comfort.
In Indiana they seem to have re-
versed the injunction that it is better
Tor ten guilty men to escape than for
one innocent person to suffer. and in
100 many cases it is the innocent who
must suffer while the guilty goes free.

On the request of the new board of
penltentiary commissioners Governor
Waite of Colorado, has issued an order
removing Warden McLister of the
Canon city penitentiary. 1t is almost
certain that McLister will not recog-

the courts will undoubtedly be invoked
to determine whether the new or old
commissioners are properly in office.

Efle Allen, who was recently in
dicted in St. Paul for manslaughter
for the killing of John H. Clapp, and
later admitted to bail in the sum of
$4,000; committed suicide at Lake
Minnetonka, Friday morning, by shoot
ing himself through the head, causing
instant death. Thus are two bright
and promising young lives sacrificed at
the ever greedy altar of vice, and two
previously happy and peaceful homes
blighted with grief and sorrow by the
vicious habits which alone led to the
rash acts of their erring loved ones.
In the untimely death of these two bril-
liant and gifted young men and the
awful inheritance of grief and suffer
ing which they have thus bequeathed
to innocent and living loved ones, is a
mighty and unquestionable proof of the
fact that there is no pleasure nor profit
in wrong doing.
