VIOLENCE MUST CEASE.

There were at least five cases of as
sault upon individuals, growing out of
the street railway strike, yesterday
afternoon and evening, four of the as
saults occurring in this city and one
in Benwood.
There must be an end to this sort OF
thing, and the strike leaders, the Off
Gals of workingmen's organizations,
and sympathizers with the wage-earn-
ing element to the contention should
understand once for all that this sort
of thing must stop, and that perfect inn
munity and liberty to individuals to 90
as they please about riding or refrain
ing from riding on the cars must be
ensured and maintained. The Street
Railway Company has lawful right
to run its cars, and any and every in
dividual has a right to ride or refrain
from riding, just as he Dleases. Wheth-
er a man rides or not, he is entitled to
the protection of the laws and
be assured liberty to do as
he pleases, and it is the duty
of the authorities of this city and of
all surrounding towns to afford pro-
lection, and to arrest promptly any
person resorting to violence. OF the
four cases of assault in this city yes
terday the police appear to know moth
ing, although they occurred between
noon and two O'Clock, on the most
prominent streets of the city. This
sort of thing won't do. 1t will in
jure the cause of the strikers immeas-
urably and for that reason, if for no
other, they should see to it that as
saults cease. Violence, as the Register
has heretofore remarked, never aided
a labor strike. On the contrary, 1T in
variably hurts the cause, however just
it may originally have been.
Labor leaders must put an end to
this sort of thing, and the authorities
must bring offenders to swift and
sure Justice The assailants in yester-
days cases should be arraigned within
tweuty-four hours and given the full
extent of the law. and the labor
leaders should not sleep, in justice to
the cause of labor, until the assailants
are under lock and key.

Germany paid Spain five millions for
the Caroline islands. and since the
agreement was reached it has been fig
ured out that the annual trade of the
islands with Germany for some years
past has been Just $47.50 per year.
This is rather worse, from a CONNER
cial point of view, than our Philippine
transaction. If Spain had the talent
for fighting she has for disposing of
real estate, she would be a terror among
nations.

Now why not try arbitration?
IS HUMANITY DISGRACEFUL.

Los Angeles (Cal) Herald
Why should we not negotiate with the
Filipinos? Are they not human beings?
Why should we treat them as a part of the
unreasoning brute creation? We have
time and again placated our rude Indian
tribes and made most generous conces-
sions 10 them for the sake of peace. 1t
involves neither disgrace nor humilia ton
to be magnanimous even toward the most
savage of enemies. Other nations have pur-
sued this policy, but it has been most con-
spicuous in us because we have laid down
certain new rules touching the rights of
all men. Great Britain has shown a spirit
OF Cancellation toward her enemies very
often, and so far as she has departed from
it she has brought shame and disgrace
upon her own head

LONG LOOK BACK.

Mr.. H. T. Phillips is now prosper
Gus business man of Atlanta, head of
the firm of Phillips & Crew. He has
had some interesting experiences, and
has lately been talkative about them.
In. the summer of 1861 he was post
master at Chattanooga, Tenn. When
Tennessee went out of the Union Mr..
Phillips notified Postmaster General
Blair that henoeforth the business of
the office would be transacted under the
authority OF the Confederate States,
and under that government continued
to be postmaster until September, 1863.

achieved independence. with the aid Of
the United States, acting Independently
OF the rebellion against Spain. in much
the same manner as we achieved our
independence with the aid of France
When the British evacuated New York
and the other ports held by them, at
the close of the revolution, the inde-
pendence Of the United States was
achieved; but England made no at
tempt to sell something she no longer
owned to some other power. When
Spain lost Manila and its surrounding
forts and arsenals her power in the is
lands was ended and ended forever, yet
she succeeded in selling for twenty
millions an empty title and a value
less claim, instead of handing over to
us a round indemnity.
Having disposed OF her. bogus SOW
ereignty" to us in that manner, the
administration proceeded to make good
the improvident bargain; and, setting
aside the pacific and righteous
policy of Admiral Dewey, put General
Otis in supreme command, instructed
him to assert our sovereignty, and the
natural result was war of which no
man can see the end, and which has
cost us already more in cash than we
have paid Spain and much more in
blood than the whole Spanish war.
Attorney General Griggs' fine-spun
defense of the administration will be
received with little approval by the
American people, and as to his con-
Guiding assumption that the question
SIS not one of party politics but of ma
tional duty" he may have occasion to
reverse his judgment later on.
Meanwhile the administration con-
tinues to withhold the truth from the
people, and the imperialistic press is
increasing its clamor for 100000 men in
the islands.

RIGHT ro LIBERTY .ANNULLED. .

John w. Griggs, Attorney General of
the United States, has come to the aid
of the administration in the Philippine
question, andl in a long interview in
the New YORK; World demonstrates, to
his own satisfaction, at least, that we
are responsiblel for the Philippines, that
our rights THERE are beyond dispute,
kE~1Saf1yes are in rebellion
against our authority, and it is the
|duty of the government to put the re-
volt down at whatever cost.
The Honorable Attorney General
does not go into the series of blunders
which resulted in the existing state of
affairs. He valves that all aside as
immaterial, simply says we are there,
and that there we must stay until the
last armed foe expires, and then, our
sovereignty being supreme, we may
proceed in the direction of recognizing
a native government, independent in
fact as we'll as in name giving the ma
tives local self-government; selling out
to somebody else, or, in fact, we may do
with the group just exactly as we
please. But meanwhile the rebellion
must be suppressed. In arriving at his
conclusions, and in his endeavor to
convince the masses of the people that
We are doing a good work in killing
off the natives who resent the bargain
and sale with Spain and our intrusion
into the affairs of the islands, the At
torney General says
= The theory that there can exist in any
Indefinite body of people the right to SUBJ
stitute their own will or self-constituted
sstituted sovereignty of any particular ter
riiory is contrary to reason and to all in
ternational practices
This will hardly be concurred in by
those Americans who believe that our
war for complete independence from
Great Britain was right. In 1775 we
were an indefinite body of people" but
we asserted few rights and main
tanned them. If the Attorney Generals
conclusions are founded upon fact and
international practices, the Eastern
States of the Union are technically
still as much part Of the possessions
of England as is Canada. independence
having been achieved by force and not
by right, and acknowledged because
there was nothing else to be done.
As stated, Mr.. G-iggs lodges the
method by which the United States be-
came involved in this war, starting
simply with the assertion that the is
lands are ours. They are not ours in
any proper sense-either by title from
Spain or by conquest, because Spain
lost her rights of sovereignty when
Manila fell, for she could no longer
+ assert her rule, and the natives had

tanooga, and Mr.. Phillips and his once
force retired to Kingston. After doing
such business as he could at various
points, Mr.. Phillips cast his fortunes
with Johnston's army in the retreat
from Dalton, and finally established
his Office in box car IN Atlanta, where
he saw the explosion of the first Fed
eral shell which fell within that city.
When the retreat from Atlanta was
ordered there was no transportation
for the mail and it was burned, while
the office force footed it to Coyington,
and thence went by rail to Augusta.
Then the Office was moved to Tupelo,
Miss, and thence to Mobile, Columbus,
Macon and back to Augusta, then to
Smithfield, N. c.. and finally to Green's
boro. There, after Johnston's surren-
der, the many letters on hand were
opened by the clerks in search of
money, and the whole outfit was then
burned. A few greenbacks, Mr.. Phil
lips says, were found in the letters, and
they enabled the clerks to reach their
homes.
Mr. Phillips concluded: "How time
flies! That was more than a genera
ton ago, and in few days l am going
10 attend the fiftieth annual meeting of
my old Yale college classmates" Time
does fly, and brings many changes as
1t comes and goes. Mr.. Phillips rem
