OF GEN. MILES.

Last Tuesday evening the Federation OF
Labor in the District of Columbia adopted
a resolution denouncing General Miles TOT
his participation in the Chicago LABOR
troubles, and protesting against the pas
sage of the bill now before Congress to
raise him TO the rank OF lieutenant-gen-
eral. We are not sure. ourselves, that the
bill ought to be passed. General Miles
WAS a soldier all through our civil war
but We knew OF no performances by MIN
In the war that justify the elevation OF
Lin to such rank as this.
But upon what ground his part IN the
Chicago riots can be denounced, passes
our comprehension. lie was a soldier IN
the regular army OF the United states
commanding United States soldiers, ana
he was commanded by the President, his
superior officer in the army TO move MS
command to Chicago and to enforce the
decree of the United States Court that
the railroad tracks through the city or
Chicago shall be kept open for traffic
and free from obstruction. Upon what
ground he can be censured Tor executing
this order Of his commanding officer Is a
thing we cannot understand.
1t is greatly to be deplored that a labor
organization should take up position
of this sort. Laborers have perfect
right to strike when they please, but they
cannot resort to violence and physical
force TO coerce their old employer into
conceding their demands. This founda-
ton proposition must be conceded by all
labor organizations before any discussion
whatever can be held concerning their
grievances.

NEW YORK. April 16.-Captain O'Brien,
when seen this morning about the story
printed in a morning paper to the effect
that the thief who stole the Burden

the confession said to have been made
by one of the Burden d0mestlcs, and that
he was not insttuting search for any
former employees of the Burden household.
He said that the statement that he had
telegraphed to Scotland Yard TO arrest

further that no new developments con-
nected with the robbery had been

Lord P.lmer.ton and the Turks.

In regard to the Turks themselves,
may venture to observe that the gen.
ius of their manners and conversation
is that of yielding everything at first?
They begin by saying, Good yes But
when you come to the matter in ques-
ton and to its details you will find all
those fine expressions mean nothing.
Like all people in weak position. they
respect you according to their opinion
of your force. IL, however, you wish
that force to have "a permanent infiu-
ence and TO be unaccompanied by dis
like, you must blend its exercise with
justice; and, if you wish to arrive at q
quick result through all that ambuscade
of intrigues and doubts and fears and
prejudices which will be sure to be Sc
cretly formed against it, you must tell
the Turk what he is to do, why he is to
do it, when he is TO do it and show him
that you only ask quietly and reasona-
bly, what you have a right to demand.
In this way, and this way alone, you will
do business with him. If he sees you
act thus, he will not only agree with
you, but rely upon you.-Lord Palmer
ston's Letters.
