who Paws the Bills

II is estimated that several millions of
dollars worth of property has already
been destroyed in Chicago because of the
Pullman boycott and the strike. Now,
the question arises, who will pay the
billsa viii the Pullman company and
the railroads against whom the strikers
are directing their energies be the
losers2 Not bit of it. The tax payers
of Chicago and Cook county must pay the
damages, and as many of the strikers are
tax payers, they must themselves here
after put their hands into their pockets
because Of the burning, wrecking and
pillaging done in their name.
There is on the statute books of Illinois
law providing "that whenever any build
ing or real or personal property, except
property in transit shall be destroyed or
injured in consequence of any mob or riot
composed of twelve or more persons, the
city, or, if not in a city, then the county.
in which such property was destroyed
shall be liable to an action by or in behalf
of the party whose property was thus de-
stroyed or injured, for three-fourths of
the damages sustained by reason there
Of"
The law is plain and direct, and places
the responsibility for the damages upon
the taxpayers of Chicago. How the law
will work is not matter to be guessed at.
The Illinois statute is modelled upon one
in Pennsylvania to the same effect which
has been tested and under which the
taxpayers of Pittsburg have for seven
teen years been paying the cost of the
| great Pennsylvania railroad strike and
riots in 1877. In those riots the Pennsyl-
| vania road lost its shops, engine houses,
offices, depots and all other property
capable of being destroyed. In the de-
! struction were included l04 locomotives,
46 passenger cars and 500 freight cars.
! Twenty passenger cars and SOL freight
| cars belonging to other lines, together
with their contents, were burned as were
! also grain elevator and several ware
! houses. The total loss was estimated at
! 81, 600, 600. Suits were instituted against
Allegheny county, and the Pennsylvania
railroad secured g, 900 OO0 cash damages.
which, with the interest, the taxpayers
have been since paying.
The strike at Chicago is Of much greater
| proportions than was the strike at Pitts
/ burg; and likewise the destruction has
been begun on larger scale. If one rail
road secured $1,000, GOO from Allegheny
| county, how much may the twenty or
more roads affected by the Chicago strike
be able to secure if the destruction is not
stopped soon} q.

the Vice President had one on
his table, but it disappeared and
the pages are suspected OF having

THE President and the Crisis. -
From the Philadelphi1 Press lRopD.

President Cleveland has done the right
thing in the right way. His proclamation
strikes the true note. 1t is wisely conceived
and admirably expressed. We should have
been glad to hail and welcome it a little
sooner; but when 1t did come il came in virlle
robust impressive terms. In this action the
President deserves the thanks and support of
all rlghU.mnded citizens. The proclamation
shows a correct view OF the scope ana bounds
of national power a clear recognition of the
obligations of local authority, Just sense Of
the Presidents own duty. The President in
vades no others province, but he meets his
own responsibility. He draws the line te
tween the lawless and the law "A biding he
summons all good citizens to take their place
on the side OF law and order, and admonishes
them not to join or cOuntenanee any unlaw
full assemblage. He warns the ploCters and
rioters TO desist and dispense. And above all
he pToclams his purpose to deal decisively
with any moo that shall defy the laws of the
country or oCstruct the rights OF its citizens,

1t is proposed by the Cincinnati authori-
ties to compel the street railway compa-
MES to put air brakes on their cars. hoping
thus to avoid accidents. The experiment
will be watched with good deal of in
terest, though experts on street railway
affairs say the air brake will not accom-
plsh what is expected of it. On open
roads where steam is the motive power
and the cars are very heavy the air brake
has been found efficient, but there are
doubts if it can be made to serve as well
as the hand brake in street car traffic.
With the best hand brakes, motorman
with good MUSCLE is able to stop a street
car going at full speed in about twice the
cars LENGTH 1t may be doubted that air
brakes could do much better, with com
fort TO the passengers. At any rate, as a
rule, the victims of street car accidents
are almost under the car before either
they or the motorman are aware of the
fact; and then not even air brakes would
be sufficient. to avert an accient. How
ever, any movement made in the interest
of greater public safety is a good move

Roger Hughes of Luzerne county, Pa,
had magnificent growth of whiskers.
They We're luXuriant, ambrosial, beauti-
full, and Roger was as fond of them as he
possibly could be. He did them up in a
silk bag when he retired at night, and
groomed them with a silver and ivory lay
out in the mornings. Indeed, he spent
the greater part of his time in fondling
and brushing those whiskers; spent so
much time at ii until his neglected and
long-sufering wife grew mad with ieal-
ousy. When Roger should Rave been
petting her he was petting his WHISPERS,
and when he should have been cherishing
her he was cherlshiug his whiskers. De-
sparing of ever regaining his love as long
as he could luxuriate in his hirsute de-
light, and being Jealous beyond endur-
ance at seeing lavished upon the whisk-
ers affectonthat should have been hers.
Mrs. Hughes descended upon her rivals
the other day and pulled them out by the
handful ierked Roger almost barefaced:
despoiled him of his WHISPERS in order to
cure him of his infatuatiOn. At last ad-
vices Roger was still sore because of his
loss, and had his wife arrested.

pointed TO the present condition of affairs

Commenting on the labor troubles in
the west and seeking the causes for them
the Gaulois of Paris concludes that the
chief cause is the Mckinley law,
which attracted capital and labor
into enterprises that had no
future. Other causes were the premium
on the production of silver under forced
purchases by the government; the extra
vagance of the Harrison administration,
which brought a bout financial and in

by labor crisis, and the importation of
socialism from Europe.
