Extending the Capitol Park.

Practical progress is being made toward
the acquisition of the land lying imme-
diately north OF the Capitol and south OF
the Union station plaza for the extension
Of the public grounds. The condemnation
commission has rendered its award in the
case OF squares 634 and 685. which lie d.
rectly north Of the Capitol park, the total
Of the award being 81. 1l9. O86.5O. BY the
first of July 81. 10000 will be available to
pay for the ground SO far condemned,
Congress having three years ago appro-
priated at the rate of 10000 q year for
this purpose. Consequently the appro-
priation In found to be about keeping pace
with the condemnation proceedings, possi-
bly, accommodating little more rapidly
than the process Of acquisition. For 1t is
not certain that the award Of the COM
mission will be Immediately accepted or
approved. and there may be delays to pre-
vent the prompt taking Of the lands. But

The Railroad Strike Of 1877.

At the eleventh hour the Omitted States
government through the presidiug Judge
OF the Court 81 Commerce and the COM
missioner Of labor, interviewed to prevent
the immediate striking Of the railroad
engineers on the eastern lines. and the
matter is now in shape to permit IN
adjustment. although the plan Of arbi-
tiation has not been arranged. What
ever the future may hold. 1t 10 certain
that there will be no strike without Q
final effort to bring the two sides to-
sether and effect a settlement. This il
gratifying as far a. 1t goes. though the
public would be better assured IL Il were
certain that the Intervention 81 the
United States foreshadowed Industrial
peace. The people have no relish for
another great railroad strike. Two have
been experienced within the past thirty
five years. and the losses then suffered
are still felt In some quarters. while
those who passed through the scenes
OF the descriptions shrink from a repeti-
ton Of the dangers.
II might be well to refresh the memory
on the subject Of the earlier Of these
two strikes. that Of 1877, which tied up
almost all Of the northern roads be-
tween Mississippi and New Ensiand. Al
the haighl OF the strike there were 100000
M1n eus and six or seven thousand miles

OF railroad were from the first to the last
in the hands Of the strikers, inclu1iaG
the New York Central, the Erie, the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio.
The trouble arose from the attempt Of
the companies to reduce the wages Of
the operatives by 10 per cent. On the
l4th of July the train hands of the Balti-
more and Ohio struck. some forty brake
men and fremen attempting to pre-
vent the passage of freight trains. Two
days later the fremen Of all freight
trains at Martinsburg stopped work and
drove of the men sent to replace them,
defying the police Of the town. The next
morning militiamen sent by the Governor
of West Virginia undertook to guard
wesbound train. but the strikers. then
recruited to 100. and Joined by several
hundred outsiders or "sympathizers,"
prevented its moving, exchanging shots
with the soldiers. a train had been
thrown of the track at night at South
Baltimore. The Governor Of West vir-
ginia asked the aid of the federal gov
eminent and a detachment Of about 300
United States troops reached Martins
burg July 10, and proclamation by
President Hayes was issued and dis
tributed over the line. The same day,
however. the conductors and brakemen
on the Pennsylvania struck and tied up
the lines at Pittsburgh. July 20 riot
occurred in Baltimore between strikers
and the eth Regiment Of Militia on its
way to Cumberland. Nine rioters were
killed and twenty or thirty wounded, and
the militia was held in the city. The
station was set on fire. From that time
on the strike spread and great damage
was done to railroad property. Riots
occurred in several cities. At Pittsburgh
freight trains were looted by the mob
and great quantities of goods were
openly auctioned In the streets by the
plunderers. Railroad property estimated
at 10000 600 was destroyed and an un-
known amount OF damage was done to
private property. There were acts Of
violence in various parts of the strike
area. To complicate the situation other
strikes occurred. notably a walk-out of
10000 miners In the Scranton region.
The railroad strike was broken by the
end Of July. and trafhc was finally
resumed on all the lines by the Sd Of
August
That strike was practically a failure,
for nothing was accomplished by the
operatives. 1t has been estimated that
over $50, 00O, 900 was lost in various forms
during this outbreak. Conditions have
changed materially since 1877, and a
strike now might be conducted on differ.
ent lines and be more speedily adjusted.
but there Is never a guarantee of a
specific settlement Of any industrial dis
pute on the basis Of force or compul-
sorry stoppage OF work.

A Memorial to Titanic Heroes.

Many suggestions are being offered to
the effect Of the erection Of q monument
in this city to Mai. Butt whose name
has appeared conspicuously in all accounts
Of the Titanic disaster and who Is on all
sides accredited with noble behavior on
that occasion. Probably before the mat
ter is carried to the point OF execution
1t will be decided that national me-
mortal Of this character should be ex-
pressive. not Of the sentiment for one
man. but for all the Americans who in
that hour Of mortal peril bore themselves
bravely and sacrificed their own lives
that others might live. This is no time
to discriminate or choose. Mai. Butts
performance on the Titanic was undeni-
ably most praiseworthy and deserving of
universal recognition. Possibly q monu-
ment to him, particularly IL his body Is
recovered from. the sea. would be suitable
to mark the personal feeling Of the people
who regarded him as q type Of American
manhood and who are proud that in his
last hour he was all -thet American men
should be. But q national expression on
this subject should have no limitations ~
to personality. Without exception. every
citizen Of this country on that ship meas
ured up to the highest standard and
earned his laurels. Some Of them were
unnoted in the great rush of tragic hap
Denings and confusion Of the night. Here
and there a name appears in the accounts
Of this man or that man quietly, efii-
GENTLY. modestly doing what needed to be
done. 1t is to be definitely accepted that
every American did his duty.
There IL no desire for memorial mere
~ to commemorate the disaster ITSELF
Such tragedies require NO permanent
souvenirs uniess they are to teach les
sons and insure benefits from the losses
But 1t Is most appropriate and suitable
that . tribute should be paid in the form
Of some artistic or useful creation or in
stitution to hold before posterity the shin
Ing example Of those who gave their own
lives for others. Would this be best done
by block Of stone standing in the ma
tional cemetery at Arlington? Or by some
practical endowment for the alienation Of
human suffering? There is a sentiment
for each Of these forms Of memorial. AL
ways when 1t is proposed to mark great
career or a great act the suggestion Is
advanced to give 1t q useful form. Which,
ever may be decided in this instance, it
In to be hoped that the expression Of ma
tional sorrow and pride will be compre-
hensive and Of the broadcast scope. 50 that
1t will stand for all time as q tribute to
American manhood.

From the New York Herald.
Cabled extracts of the comments made
by the British press show as q rule such
ignorant unfairness of the conduct Of the
American inquiry into the causes Of the
Titanic disaster that 1t Is no wonder the
feeling of resentment against this AFRO
CANT insularity is becoming embittered.
1t may be that the rawlings OF % few
madmen in the ostracized yellow press
have. despite the array OF all other sane
comment, been taken as the white light OF
matured American opinion. 1t may be
that these slow-witted Englishmen are
trying. like the familiar cuttlefish, to
cloud the proved incapacity Of their Board
of Trade and to excuse the criminal lack
Of organisation. discipline. equipment ana
navigation on board the master steam
ship Of the British mercantile marine.
But all this does not divert W from
our manifest duty. We have happily
passed the stage when such twopenny
ha'penny diatribeS can enter into our cal
culations. We have appraised their value
and we know ourselves and our theories
and practices. Nothing. ter example, has
been more sympathetic, more gentle in
its highest sense. than the conduct Of the
inquiry by the Senate committee. aud yet
self-complacent moguls In England call
this impertinent.
