rnnsEpvn rnE PEACE.


Tho Post publishes this morning an ad-
dress by Mayor Rice to the citizens OF
Houston, In which he discusses the I'M
fortunate strike condition in this city. and
calls upon all good people to aid him In
preserving the peace and maintaining per-
feet order.
Law abiding citizens Of every kind and
calling viii ndorse the admirable spirit
of this address and warmly approve of It's
purposes.
There was much sympathy for the strik-
ers at first, but the disgraceful occur
FENCES OF yesterday will go far toward dc
stroying that kindly feeling that existed
before. The Post Endorsed the street car
men when they We're striking for union
ism. In the present trouble It has refrained
from comment for the simple reason that
the question at issue was purely bust
ness one and should have been settled sew
eral days ago In a spirit of compromise,
But when their conduct leads MP to vio-
lence and a tyrannical denial of tho right
Of the company TO run it's cars at all, The
Post, in common with all other consery-
alive classes in the community feels thnt
the mayor should be and will be upheld in
his efforts to preserve the pence and guar
antee to the street car company full pro-
lection.
The right OF moral sunslon the strikers
have, and II by its exercise they can gain
their point, all well and sopd. but tho
moment they undertake by force to stop
the running of the cars. as was done yes
terday. they place themselves outside the
law and destroy whatever public sympathy
they previously enjoyed.
The peace can he maintained m Texas
and eyerybody's rights and interests pro-
tected. and 1t Is needless to say will be SO
projected and maintained. The strikers and
their oyerzealous friends should know this
and not destroy their cause wholly by
resort to illegal coercion.
1t is hoped. therefore, that no recur-
renee Of yesterdays scenes viii be wit
messed, and this hope is expressed in the
interest OF tho strikers as well as of the
general public. the good order and good
name of Houston.

| Ont administration ut Washington con-
| templates submitting the question ef
SPANS responsibility for the loss Of the
Maine to arbitration, In the event that
our naval board finds that the destruction
OF the ship was due TO outside agencies
such a course by this government would
win FOR us the contempt of the civilized
world
| There are certain kinds of questions
that are always excepted In framing trea-
ties for general arbitration between coun-
tries. Matters involving the National hon
| or. or dignity, are never submitted to
| arbitration. Insults to the flag or assaults
upon Its citizens, or reflections upon the
| National integrity, are questions of honor
| that no nation with proper self-respect
will submit to others to determine the
| PREPARATION, II any, which should be given.
Commercial differences. disputes as to
territory and honest disagreements upon
issues that do not involve the National
honor, or spirit, are proper subjects for
arbitration and should invariably b. 50
settled.
The destruction of the Maine is a matter
that no brave people would think OF al
lowing strangers to handle. II done by sub
Jeels OF Spain while the ship was on u
friendly visit to Spanish harbor, II was
not only IA gross insult to the American
Nag, but u fendish hatchery OF Americans
wearing the uniform OF the United States
navy. We might as well talk of submitting
to arbitration an attack by Spanish citizens
upon an American fort demand for d s.
ayowal and PREPARATION upon the govern
ment OF the aggressors would not Only
arise naturally, but would be psremp, DRY
in It's terms, To submit our wrongs. under
such circumstances. to others for reotilea-
ton, or to determine whether we were ca.
titled TO any redress, would be an added
insult to our flag and betray incaparity for
protecting ourselves. our honor, or our
Interests.
The arbitration OF such an issue would
DO piece of pusillanimity that would just
" condemn this Nation to the coutempt
OF all self-respeoting peoples and write us
down rs an aggregation OF spiritless huck-
stcrs, in deed and In truth. Such course
would only invite attack from every hostile
quarter and render the American Nag ard
American citizen objects of derision In all
parts OF the world
The idea that the Spanish inquiry into
the causes of the disaster is for any other
purpose than merely to discredit our own
boards findings and trump up excuses for
resisting Just demands by this government,
is absurd. No intelligent people anywhere
