THE STREET CAR STRIKES.


NO INTEL gent workingman, whether or
not he belongs to a labor union, can
read the details of the strikes which
have been in progress for a few days
past in Kansas City and St Louis with
out sense Of pain. Brute force as q
weapon in the hands of any man or
number of men has never yet been known
to accomplish good results. But when
1t is used in opposition to publ authority
1t involves a crime even against those
who use it.
The circumstances of both the strikes
mentioned suggest the old, old inquiry.
VIII workingmen never understand their
own interest and welfare? One does not
need to so into the details of the con-
troversy in either case. Indeed the merits
or demerits of the cause of the men or
their employers have but little bearing on
the situation as it has been deveIoned
The street car men themselves, with
their friends and sympathizers, have
eliminated that feature Of the matter
entirely. The general public does not
know and does not want to know what
the matter in issue may be. All they
know or care to know is that the men
resorted to violence and have put them
selves outside the pale OF the law. This
being the case, they will be beaten. and
the general public, who would otherwise
probably sympathize with them, will
probably say that they ought to be
beaten.
In all such contests the weaker is Ger
tain to go to the wall. The man ON str Ike
IS almost invariably the weaker. When
he appeals to force he inevitably is. He
just appeals to public authority to array
itself against him. and to make the ac-
compishment of his purpose impossible.
Success in such struggle is pecul arly
difficult in the case of a street car man
The employment rarely has anything per
manent about it for the ordinarily am
bilious man. 1t is a makeshift employ
ment with most of those who go into
it. 1t represents a kind of occupation in
alone are needed. Very little training
suffices to famiiiarize one with its duties;
and hence the field from which men can
be secured to take the place of those
who are dissatisfied is an exceptionally
broad one. Men who fight under such
conditions ought to be careful how they
enter upon trial of brute strength or
endurance.
The intervent on of the Courts in the
Kansas City strike shows very clearly
he folly of the course pursued by the
men. or course they and those who
sympathize with them will, in vague
way, argue that the court in this case
merely complied with the wishes OF the
employing corporation. But that sort
OF talk is mostly fudge, and is not en-
titled TO serious cons deration Assuming
even that the order issued by Judge
Hook is a splendid exemplincatlon of

was found last night.
The discovery was made by j. A.
Palmer, the barber, and Chas. Elliott,
another colored man, who were driv-
ing in a wagon along the railroad
tracks gathering coal. When near the
east switch at Corlett, a small station
six miles west of Cheyenne, they OBJ
served a pair of human feet protrud-
ing from a small hole or cave which
had been ~excavated by the graders at
work a short time ago at that place.
An investigation was made and a
pitiable sight was revealed to the eyes
of the men. 1t was the body of a man
in the last stages of dissolution from
starvation: the cheeks sunken in, and
the frame a mere mass of skin and
bones. The man was in an unconscious
condition and nothing could be learn
ed of his identity. He is a man of
probably 80 years of age, dressed as
a laborer, and, under normal condition,
would weight probably 10 pounds, al
though in his present state would
weigh scarcely ninety pounds.
He was brought to Cheyenne where
he was placed in the county hospital.
DR.. Maynard was summoned and
thought the man was probably de
mented when he wondered into the
cave; although 1t was now evident he
was within a few hours Of death from
starvation. The man had evidently
sought refuge in the cave in a weak
ened condition and was too for gone
to move.
When his shoes were removed it was
discovered that a portion of his toes
had already gangrened and were black.
