Mr.. Gustavus B. Crowell of this city, who at
tempted to commit suicide several weeks since, by
hanging. succeeded in killing himself by the same
means yesterday forenoon, between eleven and
twelve O'Clock. lie had recently purchased his
old business of f. W. Eugy, and had appeared at
times pleased that he had again an occupation
where he might retrieve his losses to some extent
He was found by his little boy, suspended by the
neck with a small cord, and from appearances he
must have been hanging for twenty or thirty min
| utes. He left note TO his wife, stating that he
did not desire TO live longer, and although he
might be doing wrong, desired his friends not tC
mourn for him. He has undoubtedly been ire
sponsible in mind most of the time since his pre-
vious attempt upon his life, but has never before
made any demonstrations to harm himself or 9th
ers. Evidences of suicide were so plain that al
inquest was not deemed necessary.

But what avails it though tho poor tree wears

For all its wild rebukes and passionate prayers,
Or the pale sun shines warmer for its pain

which all the trouble came-had some


reason in it, and that the men were un-
fairly treated by their employers. This
gave the strikers the sympathies of the
communities along the line of the rail


ways. Thus far the affair was not unu-
sual and caused very little excitement
and would have done no harm if it had
done no good had it been left with the
parties interested-the companies and


their employees; but at this point anoth-
er element entered and taking advant-
age of the sympathy of the people for
wOrkingmen; this new element-which


consisted wholly of tramps and thieves
played the role of oppressed laborers
cOntending for bread. All the destruc-
ton of lite and property that followed
was the work of this element. When
the great mass of law abiding citizens
came to full realization of matters and
satisfied themselves that it was not a
struggle of oppressed laborers for bread,
they put an end to it very quickly. But
the sympathy of the people with the
outbreak and the delay in suppressing
it has cost the country many millions of
dollars. 1t is to be hoped, however, that
this great loss will not have been in vain.
1t is to be hoped that it has taught all
honest men that evils cannot be correct
ed by trampling the civil law under foot.


1t Is to be hoped that it has also taught
the business community that it cannot
afford to sympathise with violations Of
the civil law If it shall have taught all
good citizens that a redress of grievances
cannot be secured through mobs and
riots the lesson may yet be worth all it
has cost. The question of labor strikes


is an old one. Strikes are so certain to
degenerate into riots and mobs that it
is strange that this one had any sympa-
thy. The people of this country should
have known without the costly expert
ment of the past week that mob law
would not accomplish anything of real
value to workingmen. With the sad
results of the past week before them,
the working men and their sympathizing
friends will not likely permit their homes
and families, their country and its laws
to again be ruled for Il week by mobs.

Cable telegrams from London report
n great deal of uneasiness in England
over the news of the strikes and riots
III this country. The people of England
have probably not analyZed the subject
and separated the real rail road strikers
from the great mob of tramps, loafers
and thieves. The people of this coun-
try do not draw as distinctly as they
should the line of demarkation between
the real workingmen and the thieving
mob that has destroyed so much proper
ty, and interfered SO basely with nearly
all kinds of business throughout half
dozen great states The success of the
mob Of thieves was mainly owing to the
sympathy of the great mass of the
people with the workingmen, but the
workingmen are not the ones who per-
perpetrated the outragcs at Pittsburg,
Baltimore and Reading England will
allay for fears when she gets the whole
case, and learns that the workingmen
of this country have no sympathy with
the tramps and thieves who composed
the mob and who had no other aim
IN view than that of plunder The mob
took advantage Of the sympathy of the
mass Of the people for the workingmen
and ruled the country for short time,
il is true, but the end come very quick
II when the people discovered that
they were wasting sympathy upon q
band of thieves whonever did an honest
days labor. The hostility of honest
laborers toward the mob was distinctly
shown at Chicago and the determination
with which the authorities opened war
upon the thieves soon made it too hot
for their operations. In Chicago the
trouble was started by thieving tramps
and pluguglies; the workingmen took
no part in it and had no sympathy for
it. To call that band of villains who
paraded the streets of Chicago and drove
laborers from their work the strikers
or workingmen is 4 slander upon work
ingmen. The Joliet Penitentiary does
not contain a worse crowd. When
England learns that this country sym
pathises with its workingmen, but not
with thlevng mobs, and that such
riotous bands will not long exist in de-
tiance of law, and that the government
can and will protect the property of
citizens, then England and England's
capitalists will get over the scare of the
past few daYs.

land will not permit Russia to occupy
Constantinople are such that Russia no
longer doubts it. This course, on the

That Russia will succeed in conquering
Turkey, if other powers do not interfere,
there does not seem to be any doubt.
The Turks have suffered their enemy
to take and thoroughly fQrtify three of

The comments of the press of the
country on the great riot at Pittsburg
furnish but very little consolation for
that city. That the business commu-

the wholesale destruction of property
there can be no doubt Pittsburg will
long regret the day she aided and sym
pathized with a mob on her ST. eets The
Pennsylvania railway company may
have Disseminated against the city, but
the citizens Of Pittsburg committed IL
far greater wrong when they sought ven
geance through the torch of an inftlri-
ated mob. In hundred ways will she
repent for years to come the evil hour
when she sought to right wrong by
defiance of civil law The country will
not sympathiZe with her now when she
mourns the loss of $1,000, 900 of burned
property, which she must replace by
the taxation of that which is left, while
the thousands of families who lived
from the employment furnished by the
railway are also to be supplied with
bread by taxation. There will be no
contributions from other cities to the
support of her poor. When Pittsburg
has buried her dead, cared for her
wounded, punished her incendiary mob,
supported her poor and replaced the
property burned by her mob, by taxa
ton, perhaps she will have thoroughly
learned that the best thing for American
citizens to do is to uphold and enforce
