AN IMPORTANT MATTER CLEARLY
STATED.

No more erroneous idea has prevailed
than that the railroad company may be
required to run trains carrying mails
alone, or mails and certain cars not Pull
man cars. This has been dwelt upon so
much that considerable misapprehension
has obtained.
In another column this morning we
publish the second charge of the United
States Court at Los Angeles to the
Grand Jury, in which this whole ques-
ton of mail contract between railroads
and the Government is treated. 1t will
be observed that Judge Ross decides
precisely as did Attorney General Olney,
and for which decision it is proposed by
strike leaders to demand the ''Impeach-
men" of the Attorney General. Judge
Ross said to the Grand Jury, as will be
seen in the full text elsewhere, concern
ing obstruction to passage of the mails,
mails are to be carried ION regular pas
senger trains" of the roads designated as
mail carriers; that these companies are
not required Ito run any other trains
than their regular passenger trains for
the carrying of the mails, and their fail
ure to do so is not violation of any law
of the United States. But on all their
regular passenger trains, whether they
be local or through trains, they are re-
quired to carry the mails"
Again, the court says the companies are
entitled justly and legally ''to determine
how many and what cars and engines
shall constitute their trains, and when
the composition of trains as usually and
ordinarily made up by them is reason
able and appropriate to the services re-
quired of them, the law does not, upon
the refusal of their employees to move the
usual and customary trains, require of
such companies to divide the train and
run less number of cars"
This explicit and second charge to
the jury in reference to inquiry by
that body sets at rest the whole question
regarding mail trains. All passenger
trains of all kinds, except mere excursion
and picnic and outing trains, carry the
United States mails and always have.

winthrops. Latnrops, Lotnrops.

Territorial families who lived at
thorpe often bore its name, as is always
the case in early times with landed
houses. Thus Adam de Thorpe. Simon
de Trop, or Ralph de Trop may all be
mentioned, Mr.. Bardsley tells US. in the
self-same register; while familiar mod
ern names derived from similar sources
ars Althorpe. Calthrop, Westropp, Cony-
throp. Hartrop and Gawthorpe. Thorpe
itself figures often ia the uncompounded
form as a surname. while Thrupp is only
a slight dialectal corruption of the same
original syllable.
Names of this type are particularly
common in parts OF New England. where,
through curious incident, they pass as
almost a patent of nobility. To have
"come over in the Mayhowern is, of
course, the Massachusetts, equivalent OF
coming over like the Slys, with Richard
Conoueror.n Now, the Mayflower refu-
gees, as all the world knows, were for the
most part Lincolnshire men or East
Anglians; they called their capital Bos-
ton after the Lincolnshire port which
was on Botulfston; and they mostly bore
such surnames themselves as Winthrop,
Haythrop, Lothrop and Lathrop. Hence
these Danish patronynics are very arIs-
tocratic to-day in Salem or Concord;
they mark their possessor as person OF
antique distinction in the Puritan Conn
monwealIh. My people came over in
the Mayhower,n said an unknown New
Yorker TO 8 Plymouth Winthrop. In
deed was the crushing answer. Il didn't

THE VERY BEST FOR LABoR.

All the wage earners who are engaged
IN the present strike will all yet appreci-
ate, as do very many already, that the
very best thing that can happen for the
workers of the land is now taking place,
namely the suppression of the Debs re-
bellien.
President Cleveland. whom the ex-
trsmists and leaders are denouncing, has
friend and at the same time he has been
q public benefactor. Lawlessness is not
q remedy for the evils complained of by
the working classes, and sppreciating the
full force Of that truth the President had
the courage 20 declare that lawlessness
shall cease.
More than that, before he will consent
to act in any ether direction looking to-
wards arbitration, or adjustment. or
cease. As the REooRD-UNIoN yesterday
put it: "First the law, first the majesty
of the nation, then talk arbitration, ad-
justment, whatever il best TO conserve
human rights, labor's advantage and cap
itaps lawful demands"
The President did not act hastily, he
carefully refrained from any act even
suggestive of interference with free
speech, free action and assembly, until it
wss evident that further delay would be
dangerous to the people, for armed resist
ance was sfoot, and rioting had already
gone to the extent of overpowering local
authorities and obstructing post and mil
itary roads, the passage of the mails, and
the interruption of that free commerce
between the States. which under the
Constitution the Federal arm must pro-
teot.
So we repeat that the very best thing
that has happened to the workers of the
land is the suppression of the Debs re-
bellion, because it will enable and assist
labor to pursue its remedies through the
only channels by which it is possible for
1t to achieve any success.
The laboring people of land are al
ways the chief sufferers in turmoil, re-
volt and rebellion. All through history
this has been as it always viii be true.
President Cleveland has not, therefore,
done injury but great good to labor by in
terposing the Federal arm and command
ing peace, that reason may have sway.

tons of the law are not grave where the
penalty prescribed is not severe. It has.
indeed, become common to wink at in
fractions of the law, except they are of
such magnitude as to infliet serious in
jury upon some one. or constitute gross
trespass upon human rights.
Yet it must be clear to the simplest
mind that the unlawful invasion of the
right of the humblest citizen. the infrac-
ton of the least of ordinances. are pre-
cisely on level of lawlessness-a fact
that our schools appear not to have i'm
pressed upon the minds of our youth.

UNTRUTH REBUKED.

and misstatement the following from the

"oNLY A LITTLE BABY"

The young woman who excused her
lapse from virtue by the plea that it was
''only little baby" is recalled TO mind
by the San Francisco Examiners idea of
what constitutes lawlessness. Apparently
it saw nothing unlawful or lnsxousable
in lawless acts of the recent days, until
they eliminated in the dersiling of
train and the killing of human beings.
When that happened our contemporary
blRzsd with sudden indignation and hor-
ror. It exclaimed, "There must be no
more crime. no more lawlessnsss. AL
rational men, ell good Citizens-and the
great majority Of the Southern Pacific
striking employees have been classed
under that hesd-will stand for order
when anarchy Ia the alternative. The
authorities must be sustained and the law
enforced"
We submit to candid thought that if
there is any reason whatever for the en-
forcement of the law after the murder of
the engineer and soldiers at the Yolo
trestle. precisely the same reason existed
for snforcement of the law before the ss-
sassination.

Telegraphy at Short Range-Cootng
Over the Wires.
There are in this city a man and q
woman who have been sweethearts for
seventeen years, two years before they
were married and nfteen since that time.
When they were young and perhaps no
more s,lovesick" than most sweethearts
usually are, they lived in New Hamp-
shire. He was a country boy who was
ambitious and worked hard, so that he
could not see the parsons pretty daugh-
ter down at the foot of the valley so often
as he could wish. But it was just as hard
for him to go for a day without talking
to her as for any young man of the mod
ern age who calls in evening dress and
spoons" INCREASINGLY and untiringly.
This young country boy, who was so
determined chap that afterward in New
York he climbed way up to the top of
the heap in his business, went out one
night and strung wire from tree to tree
down the wooded valley to the parsons
house. Then he got some telegrapher'S s
instruments, adjusted one in his house
and one down where the parson wrote
his sermons and the maid her love let
ters, and the two set to work to learn tel
egraphy. Afterward till they were mar
ried they cooed over an electric wire
when he could not come down from the
farm.
The other evening gay little party sat
around table in handsome house up-
town. They were enjoying a chafing
dish after the roof garden and every one
was full Of merriment. Between the
chatting and the gay laughter a woman
picked up fork and striking glass
gently with the prong made, apparently
carelessly, a few clear sounds. They
were repeated two or three times until q
man, the head OF the house. who was at
the other end of the table, looked up
with surprised look on his face. Then
the tinkle was again sounded and his
eyes glanced quickly down the table.
He is big, stout man now with full
face and he does not look bit senti
mental, but when he in turn pick ed up
fork and raised it to tap his glass he was
awkward as a bashful country boy. Her
eyes were shy, too, and a pretty color
showed in her cheek when the thin,
tinkling glass answered her message.
Rather dull thing this trying TO tele-
graph with fork and glass after years
of lack of practice. Maybe it was silly,
too, for couple who had been married
fifteen years to try to smuggle love mes
sages across so short a distance as the
length of table. Dull and silly, per-
haps; but then they were sweethearts.-
