4 Had Precedent.

The Glen Echo railroad surreptitiously
ard in violation of law laid its tracks
across a public highway. The Commission
ers. whose duty il was 10 prevent this act,
and who had and have no authority what
soever to grant permit for 1t, now reward
ccntemptuods defiance of law by endorsing,
ia a formal permit. the Illegal act. thus
taking upon their own shoulders a share
of responsibility for violation of law.
They become accessories to the iaw-break-
ing of the Glen Echo road because they
think that the public convenience is sub
served by this particular violation of the
statutes and because they guess, appar-
eEtIy with reason, that Congress will con-
done the offense and iegalize The Illegal
act
The precedent is a bad enc. Every other
corporation with a tendency to disregard
the law is encouraged n that tendency.
The Falls Church road which was checked
in its effort to make similar illegal seiz-
ure of the of public property can justly
complain. We too. this road may reason
ably say, wish to serve the public con-
Senience by our unauthorized extension. We
too Will pledge ourselves TO ges leSalizilg
legislation from Congress If the Commits
sioners may permit one railway to Cross n
public highway on the score of public cen
yenience in violation of law becaIse they
are convinced that the legal prohibition
will in the near future be removed they
can, on the same grounds, permit any rail-
way to make any local extension wh:ltso-
ever, the test of the enforced law being
not its existing words but the Commits
sioners' opinion concerning what the law
Will be-
The only safe plan is to live up to the
law as 1t is. no matter how many nearly
successful efforts to change :. have been
made in the past, and no matter how GER

came together. The sheriff commanded
the strikers to stop and read to them In
English a proclamation that laid on them
the injunction to dispense peaceably. This
was not well understood by the Hungarians
in the crowd, and whether it vas under
stood by their leaders is not determined
1t Is probable that the mob knew well
enough that they were confronted by the
representatives OF the law and that they
were hidden to pause in the name Of the
law. They refused to retreat pressed
around the sheriff and the leading deputies,
a scrimmage resulted, in which blows are
said to have been struck. the sheriff was
being overcome, according to his story.
and In the confusion order was given
to fire. At least nineteen strikers were
killed end many more were wounded.
In the absence of positive details of the
affair it is impossible to determine the
measure of tight or wrong on the two
sides. 1t Is to be remembered however,
that the strikers were ignorant men, UNI
acquainted with the law and language of
the country. For this, for the importa-
ton of dangerous class of workmen
under such circumstances, the mine owners
and operators are primarily responsible.
If they seek cheap labor from such sources
chical conditions. Much depends in the
final estimate Of the responsibility. as to
how far the strikers had gone in the use
of violence and Tow far the sheriff was
justified in ass inning that they were on n
errand that entitled MIN to deprive them of
the right to march upon the highway.
This strike out of which the riot grew
Is not the same as that which is now In
conference between strikers and employ
ers. The main disturb. nee is in the west
ern part of the state. and involves only
the miners of soft coal, while that at
Hazelton and its vicinity includes the hard
coal workers Thus save for its indirect
influence, which must not be underesti-
mated. the affair at Lattimer should nave
no bearing on the prospects of peaceful
settlement of the great strike.
Inc loss of life at Lattimer is deeply to
be deplered, and 1t is exceedingly unfor-
tunate that matters have so shaped them
selves as to bring this feature into a labor
controversy in which on the whole reason
rather than passion has seemed to control

The annot ncement that Secretary Sher-
man will shortly speak in Ohio on national
issues is of far more than ordinary interest.
Especially Is 1t noteworthy In view of the
1act that free coinage at 16 to I Is still the
overshadowing ational issue, and on that
issue as, indeed. on any phase, of the
money question, Mr.. Sherman is far and
away the most eminent living American au-
thority.
III would not be an easy matter to exae-
serate how UGH the people of this coun-

and In maintaining the public credit. He
filled the office of Secretary of the Treas

order and resolution of an equally high
order were necessary to prevent national
disaster. and he rose to the occasion in
the fuii stature of a COURAGEOUS and re-
sourceful financier. Specie payments were
resumed against the most confident pretic-
tons that they could not be. and against
all the forces of imitation then marshaIed
under the banner of greenbackism to try
to prevent it. and so well was the resump-
ton policy inaugurated that it has never
since been shaken. Administrations, both
republican and democratic. have found their
greatest security in following the lines

Greenbackism has been succeeded by the
Tres silver issue. The demand is still for
a larger volume of currency carving in
very large part the governments fiat
Many of the same leaders who twenty
years ago were behind the one issue are
today behind the other and their argu-
ments are very much the same in the one
case as in the other. The fallacy. indeed
is enc OF great tenacity being the product
OF unrest and hard times. The discou-

Last evening man whose mind had be-
come unbalanced was placed in a police
station CELL In a short time he became
violent and his mania took suicidal form.
He tried. with every prospect of speedy
success. to dash his brains out against the
iron bench and the bars at the door Of his
cell. This effort WAS fortunately frus-
trated. and the man was removed to the
hospital and placed. where he should at
FIRST have been confined. In q padded cell,
in which he could do no damage to himself.
The present major of police has frequently
called attention to the need of q place for
the detention Of persons taken into custody

How their rhythm. sweetly slow,

Which SO fondly we remember.

Pause not, though the facts oppose.

Compressed Air Motor a Failure.

New York Corr. Philadelphia Press.
The experiments made upon the elevated
road with the compressed air motor have
not been very satisfactory. None of those
interested care to say that the motor is
regarded IS failure. They do admit that
1t did not do all that was expected of it.
Until 1t can do what its inventors claim It
can accomplish 1t will not be adopted by
