MOB VIOLENCE IN THE WEST.
Two Hundred and Twenty five Freight Cars
Burned by the frenzied Strikers in
Chicago.

Reports from Chicago confirm the
alarming condition of affairs in tha,
vicinity and along the line of the Pan
Handle Railroad tracks. For a dis.
tance of about one mile the torch was
applied to railroad property. Cars
loaded with valuable freight were ig.
nited by waste saturated with oil. Not
only this, but switches were torn up
and all manner of injury perpetrated
that reckless spirit of revenge could
conceive Of. The punches of waste
stolen from switchmen's shanties and
soaked in oil made excellent torches.
The seals Of locked cars were broken,
the doors slid back, bunch of burn
ing waste thrown inside, and the con-
tents Of the car, whether valuable or
not, was soon consumed by the fire.
Many of the cars fired were loaded
with coal which when ignited, emitted
great heat. The meat, with which
fifteen cars were loaded, no doubt in.
tended for the eastern market, was
also roasted too much to suit those
who prefer it rare. No water could
be obtained along the line of their in.
cendiarism and consequently the fired
property was all consumed.
To the credit Of Americans it must
be said the leaders of the mob were
mostly foreigners. In their violent
acts policemen were kicked and beat
en- by strikers, and strikers were sorely
beaten by the police.
As to Federal troops, Mayor Hop
kins said " they sit on top of cars we
want men who will get down upon the
ground and do their duty"
AS yet there is no disposition on
the part Of the companies to com,
promise, nor is there likely to be at
the rate the reckless strikers are NOV
ing things.
Western agents are now in the east
securing men who struck themselves
out from the Lehigh Valley Company.
They are engaged at 81 per day to
take the places of the western strikers.
Twenty engineers left Wilkes Barre on
the 9th to replace the western strikers.
They are offered $I5o per month,
with work guaranteed for five years.
The Federal Government is deter
mined to enforce the injunctions of
the United States courts, and to pre-
serve the peace and protect the lives
and property Of individuals as she is
in duty bound.

If we are anything OF prophet as
to future political events then we
should saythat the outcome of all this
strife between capital and labor will
be the creation of a third party in
which the PETER Populist and the
Coxey Commonwealth will be happily
affiliated and combined in the hope OF
Doodle if not OF victory. In a square
fight between capital and labor the
Republican party would be apt to suf-
fer most, because of its greater SYM
pathy with all that pertains to the
perpetuation OF protected industries,
and consequent fabulous wealth in the
hands of few.

The tariff bill passed the Senate by
a majority Of five. On such occasions
it looks as though it would be Almighty
strong stimulus if it were possible for
the sovereign power to reach Senators
as directly as they can Representa-
tives. In that case there would have
been more than five Senators voting
in accordance with popular wish, no
doubt. The claim that we have popular
government will continue to be all
bosh until the sovereign power can
reach the austere and dignifcd U. S.
Senator.

JOHN $. STRANGE.

John s. Strange, formerly City Surveyor
Of Passaic y. j.. and since 1866 one or
the best-kHown civil engineers In Northern
New-Jersey, died yesterday morning at his
home, I'm Passaic, from Brights disease.
He born in 1882 in Goucestershre England,
and became a civil engineer soon after attaining
his majority He went to Canada in 1864, stayed
there until 1866 and then removed to the small
village Of Passac, where he opened an office, and
was Village Surveyor for number of years. Pas
sale grew rapidly in the early seventies, and in
1873 incorporated city. Obviously the
proper man for City Surveyor was Mr.. Strange,
but he was still a British subject and declined to
transfer his allegiance. Dr. Richard n. Terhune
accepted the Office and Mr. Strange did the work,
until finally he became naturalized, and had the
place in name as well as in fact. In 1889 he was
succeeded by Colin Il. Wise: 1t is considered I'M
fortunate that Mr.. Strange did not put in perna-
mont form his large fund OF Information about the
surveys Of Bergen and PdSsaic counties which, by
the influx of suburban residents have radically
changed in character in the last twenty years
This knowledge dies with Mr. Strange. lie leaves
