On such occasions it looks as though it would be a mighty strong stimulus if it were possible for the sovereign power to reach Senators as directly as they can Representa tives. In that case there would have been more than five Senators voting in accordance with popular wish, no doubt. The claim that we have popular goetriinent will continue to be all bosh until the sovereign power can reacn me austere ana aignincu v. r, Senator. George M. Pullman now occupies his cottage at Long Branch. He talks treeiy aDout the strikers ami boy cotters. He says arbitration is im possible und'.T the circumstances and io compromising conference is likely to be held. As to wages paid by him, he says he acts upon business princi ples, fully realizing that the aeerecate cost of a piece of wcrk must not exceed its selling price ; and that a continuous violation of this rule must wreck the Pullman shops, or any other shop, and permanently stop all work ot its employees. If we are anything of a prophet as 10 iuiure political events then we should saythat the outcome of all this strife between capital and labor will be the creation of a third party in which the reffer Populist and the Coxey Commonwealer will be happily affiliated and combined in the hope of boodle if not ot victory. In a square tight between capital and labor the Kepublican party would be apt to suf fer most, because of its greater sym pathy with all that pertains to the perpetuation ot protected industries. and consequent fabulous wealth in the hands of a few. Some one with less patriotic pru dence than mistaken political policj offered recently in the New Yori Constitutional Convention the follow- ing resolution. He did it, no doubt, by way of encouragement to those who have been des'rovins railroad Droneriv and the treight, baggage and express ot the people at large : Resolved, That we, the representa tives of the people of the State of New York in Constitutional Conven. tion assembled, view with alarm the extraordinary and arbitrary action of tne national Government (in connec tion with the western strike) and con demn it as fraught with peril to the peace and happiness of the Republic, subversive of the rights, privileges and liberties of the citizens : and as an ex ercise of national powers not author ized or implied by the Constitution of the United States or the laws thereof." Instead of approval the proposition met with overwhelming defeat, as it deserved. The Goulds can raise considerable money when necessity requires it. but they could not get quite wind enough m the sails of their fine yacht, the Vigilant, to beat the Britannia in European waters in the recent race. The race course covered 50 miles, and the English boat got home 35 seconds ahead of Mr. Goulds fast boat. Just previous to this great contest two other celebrated racers took a glide upon the Clyde ; but the Satanita cut it short, it seems, by cutting down the Valkyrie. The latter boat, which no doubt cost the sporting fraternity an odd penny or two, went to the bottom of the Clyde, in 14 fathoms of water, in just about five minutes after she was struck. It is hard to tell just what Mr. Gould thinks about it 5 but it is quite probable the matter will perplex the young man consider ably more than it would have bothered his father, whose chief delight was in making more money than he spent. PROFHETIO BARENESS. He is a wise political prophet, in deed, who, in the face all the unsettling political and commercial influences now being exerted will presume to say for a dead certainty just which of the old parties will elect the next Presi dent. Such a general political, com mercial and financial disruption has never before come under the observa tion of the writer, at least. As to the fight between labor and capital, we think wc may fairly conclude that the Republican party is capital's represen tative, and, having fostered and built up our rather extravagant railroad system it will suffer most from offended and crushed wage-earners. As to the position of the Democratic administration in using the strong military arm of Government to quell mob violence, as in duty bound, for the protection of the property and rights of Pullman, the people and the railroads engaging his cars, she, too, must prove grossly offensive to arbi trary wage-earners and strikers. But should some independent party arise in consequence of the universally dis turbed political and commercial con ditions, the doubt and darkness as to the party likely to cast the majority of votes for Piesident must be only the more difficult to penetrate and solve in advance of election. Had there been no disturbing in fluences brought to bear, except such as the Republican party sought and could easily control to its advantage, t'.ie question tfould have solved itself and the Republican party would have had little or nothing in its way to suc cess because of the general distress and hard times. But, in the language of Shakespeare, there seems, indeed, to be " a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew it how we may," And to further quote the poets, we might add in this connection, and apply it to the craftiness of Republican effort, " the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley." Therefore, for one, we cannot presume to guess which party will elect the next President. Under the unusual and complex circumstan ces we prefer leaving the important matter of high betting and positive assertion to political prophets proper. They will no doubt soon materialize in full force and with plenty of money to bet on our bleeding country after telling us as usual in advance just which political party will surmount all our financial and commercial embarras ments and run our glorious ship of State into safe harbor before she sinks forever out of sight. It is well to re member that we have patriotic prop hets of that kind alive and kicking to-day. MOB VIOLENCE IN THE WEST. Two Hundred and Twenty-five Freight Cars Burned by the Frenzied Strikers in Chicago. Reports from Chicago confirm the alarming condition of affairs in that vicinity and along the line of the Pan Handle Railroad tracks. For a dis tance of about one mile the torch was applied to railroad property. Cars loaded with valuable treight were lg nited by waste saturated with oil. Not only this, but switches were torn up and all manner of injury perpetrated that a reckless spirit of revenge could conceive ot. 1 he bunches of waste stolen from switchmen's shanties and soaked in oil made excellent torches. The seals of locked cars were broken. the doors slid back, a bunch of burn ing waste thrown inside, and the con tents of the car, whether valuable or not, was soon consumed by the fire Many of the cars fired were loaded with coal which when ignited, emitted a great heat. The meat, with which fifteen cars were loaded, no doubt in tended for the eastern market, was also roasted too much to suit those who prefer it rare. No water could be obtained along the line of their in cendiarism and consequently the fired property was all consumed. lo the credit of Americans it must be said the leaders of the mob were mostly foreigners. In their violent acts policemen were kicked and beat en by strikers, and strikers were sorely Deaten by the police. As to federal troops, Mayor Hop kins said " they sit on top of cars : we want men who will gtt down upon the ground and do their duty." As yet there is no disposition on the part of the companies to com promise, nor is there likely to be at the rate the reckless strikers are mov ing things. estern agents are now in the east securing men who struck themselves out from the Lehigh Valley Company. 1 ney are engaged at f 4 per day to take the places of the western strikers. Twenty engineers left Wilkes Barre on the 6th to replace the western strikers. They are offered $150 per month, with work guaranteed for five years. Ihe federal Government is deter mined to enforce the injunctions of the United States courts, and to pre serve the peace and protect the lives and property of individuals as she is in duty bound. T.

Many of them went down at the first fite but jus t how many cannot be fully determined, because of the number that was car- ried away as either dead or wounded. A deadly volley was poured into them for persisting in the destruction of railroad property. It is thought that at least a dozen of the strikers were killed outright, while many received wounds which may prove fatal. The trouble was begun by the mob. It was determined to bum the round house of the Grand Trunk Railroad which was guarded by the State troops. Though the troops here dispersed them they rallied again at an other point and commenced to up set freight cars and tear up the tracks, Src. Here a squad of police drove them off. The mob again rallied for mischief and des. truction on Forty ninth street, where a part of them engaged the attention of the militia and the deputies while others ran freight cars into the pit of a turn-table. The men who attempted to remove their obstructions were set upon by a howling mob. It finally made a rush at the troops and fired a volley at them and the deputies. The troops resented the assault by letting them have a storm of bullets and the rioters fell right and left in utter dis may. The great strike and all the tur moil in consequence is now denomi nated a deliberate conspiracy on the part of the leaders of the various labor oiganizations. The names of both Powderly and Coxey are associated with the scheme of a general strike which was planned long before it actu ally materialized. It dates back to the day when Powderly was deposed from his office as leader of the confederated labor unious, though it h'as not trans pired just in accordance with the original plan. The plan was laid for a general strike a month after the labor Convention which ousted Powderly Trom the office of General Master Workman, it seems. Anticipating it, extra assessment was both levied and collected from members of the various labor unions. Coxey was to tramp on ahead and the knights of labor, 5,000 strong, were to bring up, the rear, but close enough to reach Washington simultaneously with the western com monwealers. Eugene V. Debs was taken into the scheme and he at once assumed the leadership from which Powderly had been deposed. But as the best laid plans oft go astray, so it was in this case, so far as any hope of uttimate benefit to organized labor 13 concerned. The battle against Pull man was incidental rather than pre meditated however. The internal strife and jealousy existing between labor unions seems to have unwittingly and unintentionally culminated in its most aggravated and unreasonable form against Mr. Pullman whose his tory is that of a most considerate and reasonable employer in all his past dealings with wage-earners. PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION. Whereas, By reason of unlawful obstructions, combinations and assem blages of persons, it has become im practicable in the judgement of the President to enforce by the ordinary course of judical proceedings the laws of the United States within the State of Illinois, and especially in Chicago, within said State ; and, Whereas, For the purpose of en forcing the faithful execution of the laws of the United States and protect ing its property and removing obstruc tions to the United Slates mafts in the State and city aforesaid, the President has employed a part of the military forces of the United States ; Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, do hereby admonish all gool citizens and all persons who may bt or may tome within the city and State aforesaid, against aiding, countenancing, encour aging or taking any part in such unlaw ful obstructions, combinations and as semblages : and I hereby warn all per sons engaged in or in any way connect ed with such unlawful obstructions, OOD'S Sarsapnri!h li cnrufully prepared by experienced pharmacist s from Saxsa parilia, Dandelion, Man drake, Dock.ripslssewa, Juniper Berries, anil otiiur well known egetablo remedial.

Those who disregard this warning and persist in taking part with a riot ous mob in forcibly resisting and ob structing the execution of the laws of the United States, or i'lterlering with the functions of the government, or destroying or attempting to destroy the property belonging to the United States or under its protection, cannot be regarded otherwise than as public enemies. Troops employed against such a riotous mob will act with all the moderation and forbearance consistent with the accomplishment of the desired end ; but the necessities that confront them will not with certainty permit discrimination between guilty partici pants and those who are mingled with them from curiosity and without crim inal intent. The only sate course there fore for those not actually unlawfully participating is to abide at their homes, or at least not to be found in the neighborhood of riotous assemblages. hile there will be no hesitation or vacillation in the decisive treatment of the guilty, this warning is especially intended to protect and save the in nocent.
