I worked forthe New York Central Company in Syracuse in 1873, and on the 20th of October of that year (and buta few days after the panic hecan; in fact, they were the Gest company in Central New York to cut down) were cut 10 percent, and the Ist of Novem- der following 20 per centof the bands were Tudo, I among the rest and. about a year | aiter,—the exact date I don’t remember,—they ext 10 per ceut again, and the cut the Ist af this July made in all 30 per cent; apo your correspondent says they cut but once since the War, and then only yard-hands.

Boston Advertiser, Ifone could forget the immense mischief that fas been already done by the noters,—the lives Jost, the property stolen and burned, the Jaw- Jess spirit aroused, the humiliation of complete defeat of the constituted authorities by an angry and reckless mob,—Wwe shall not be able for a long time to recover from the indirect evils Which the disturbances of the past few days will bring upon the country. Turn in any direction and we see these evils looming up be- fore us. Prompt and safe distribution is a prime necessity of commerce. It has been and is interfered with in a way tocanse grievous losses. The consequences of the Interruption are quite beyond computation, for it has affected not merely the goods stoped enroute by the strikers and their allies, but it has caused, to a great degree, a cessation of shipments anda great disturbance in prices. Goods passing through our busy manufacturing districts could only be insured at war rates. And until the reign of order is compietely re- stored trade can only proceed on terms which reasind oue of running the blockade of a port in accuntry at war. This causes 2 positive loss to the whole country. In our tines wore than ‘the whole profit of a tradesinan often _deponda on the epecdy celivery of goods.

But do they, or docs down upon the offender the stern justice of 3 military court. Under the statute law of the State, the militia, when actually serving under proper authorit; i ‘as an armed force, is amenable in every particular to the laws and rezulations in use in the reeular army of the United States. In the army of the United States, as in all other armics, desertion in the face of the enemy is the very heaviest crime that a soldier can commit, and the inevitable penalty provided for it is death. Each one of the militiamen who threw away his arms and went over to the mob, earned thereby the rigit to be shot to death like the cowardly dow that he was; and we sincerely trust taatso soon as order is restored properly-con- e benefit times.

Does the general public gain anything? Noth- ing. The k of the companies are to be made up.and the only way to do that is by higher charges. The carer competition between the companies led to excessively low rates on freight and passenger business. To cover the losses the wages of employes were cut down. The re- sult of the reductiou was the strike. The creat managers are too shrewd not to see that, as their War among themselves wes the lain cause ofthe difficulty, they must guard against its recurrence by a new policy. Combination and s close alliance must take the place of disunion and hostuity. Higher rates must be established to secure living profits, and higher not only by Teason of that necessity. but also to repair the Brievous losses in the reign of terror. ‘Thus the publicisto pay, in higher transportatiun and Ereater cost of zoods for consumption, for the Yecent Inxury of too cheap freights und too eager competition caused by the building of too many is. Do the strikers and their sympathizers fondly Suppose that they have bettered their condition? They have diminishea by some millions the Sapita) that was available to pay them wages. Whether their share of it would, have been large orsmall, it would have been something. Tuat has been Jost. The work they will get in repair- ing the injury they themselves have done will no compensation; or if one makes.money or Gets wages out of the work, others will lose more. Property destroyed is wholly lost, and Must be replaced. The apparent prusperity of a city recovering from a great disaster, like a s¥eeping conflagration, is wholly fictitious. When attempt was made to stop the fire at Pittsburg there shouts of “Let ber burn, bors; itwill give us work.” That was the falsest of false philosophy. The company had cut down Wazes because it was not prosperous. It is ab- surd to think that it can restore wages to the - old rate'when it is. less prosperous than before the strike. The events of the past week have discredited Us allover the woul. In our municipal and Stote dealinzs with the mob we have been Jamentably weak. Nor bas there been at any pomt as yet a vigorous and successful attempt crush out the riot as it deserved to crushed. The result must be a severe blow at Our credit. How can we hope to borrow mouey, as We shall surely necd to borrow it, for rail- road purposes, when we are powerless against a mood bent on destruction! ow can we expect it money will be invested in bonds dependent for their value on the stability of our Govern- Ment, when we consent ta be overpowered even fora dav bya lawless band of ruffians, who finally ceace their outrazes only because there 38 nothing left to destroy? ‘Thus we suffer as & community and in deta.

It is shameful that we should not have been able to deal vizorously With the riuters; it is still more so that there should ave been found so many men and 60 ba communities willing to bend to such a less cause. TRE USES OF THIS ADVERSITY. “ Soston Journal. Sweet are the uses of adversity,” says the Poet, and it is evident that even this most de- Structive and disgraceful crisis througn which ‘the country is now passing may have its com- Pensations. It certainly ought to clear the air of some false notions that have prevailed, and Which were bound to work us evil: as a nation Sooner or later. We now sce, for instance, that a “strong Government,” in the true sense of the term, is an ‘absolute necessity for our insti- tution,—that is, a Government not interfering needlessly in the concerns of the people, not “governing too much?’ in any direction, but one strong enough to protect the. liberties, the rights, and the property af the people st all Tec hurriedly and humbly as West. Virzinia. local militia everywhere are a part of the me ple, and retiable as they might be avainst for- eign invasion, the chanccs are that they might always be aifected more or less by any per- nicious local intluences amounting to a dis- furbanee of the peace. The Goyernment of the jnited States, therefore, 18 the surest reposito- ry of the power to execute the laws and subdue domestic violence. It camot fulfill fts duties without an adequate military force, which need not be large, considering the facilities of trans- portation throughout the whole national arca, but it ought always to be larger than it is now, Never aguin, then, we trust, will the United States ariny, under any pretext whatever, be cut down to the limits incompatible with the obvious needs of the country, if we wish to be v2 the safe side under all contingencies. Tuat policy may be called economical, but experience has shown it to be costly, wasteful, suicidal, There are other valuable suggestions which cannot fail to be derived trom the crisis. A Tew Years ago there was great ery about the domi- heering bower of our railroads. They were said to control Lesislatures and Congresses, and to threaten to buve in their hands within a few Sears the Government of the whote country. Now they are worse off than any other great in- terest: they have been losing money for tne last two or three years, and their present position speaks for itself. They will emerge from it in time, but they will henceforth hold a truer re- lation to the politics, the capital, and the indus- try of tue country than they cver had before. So, too, the whole country will now see the broad line of distinction—even the dead line— which exists between the right of a man to do as he pleases within the law, and the wrong of conspiring to coerce the ucts of other men. There begins crime, and it must be dealt with as such, Al these things are simple enough in the abstract, but the effect of this vast disturly ance is to make theth vital, so that benveforth we shall practically carry them out as essential to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” THE STRIGERS AND TUE UNEMPLOYED. New York Worta. Leaving employers out of the question, as beings who are not to be supposed to have any rights which their employes areneed respect, let us sce in what licht the attitude of, the strikers presents them towards the much larger and more interesting class of the unemployed. The strikers ask the sympathy of the public on the ground that their employers are trying to re- duce them to “starvation” wages. How can this possibly be truce if at the same time the only way in which the strikers hope to bring their employers to their own terms is to prevent. all other -persous from accepting the wages which the employers stand ready to offer? Are the strikers so much superior to the general body of unemployed workingmen m= this country that ‘ages on whicn the latter are willing to live are “starvation wages” for them? Observe that it is nota question here of ‘competing pauper labor”? irom Europe or of cheap Chinese Jabor from Asia. The men whorn these strikers declare that they will not allow to earn the wages dis- dained by themselves differ irom them, so far 28 appears, simply in this,—that the strikers are not willing to accept the wages which the others. are willing to accept. That is really the sum of the whole matter on the face of it. Of course it1s by no means impossible for employers to crowd down wages below a fair point in the case of certain pee helpless classes who can- not © * for themselves, aud in whose be- half we do not often hear of any one’s yolun- teering to strike. The shop-girls and sewing- girls ot New Yors might easily make a:much -stronger showing of-a case for public sympathy than jas yet been presented in behalf of any of the special classes which have brought on by their action the present disturbed and disgrace- ful condition of affairs in the North aud West. If the strikers wish to make the public believe that they are in as bad a caseas these poor girls, and are indeed being ground down to Starvation rates by auuiless corporations, they must give the unemployed laboring men of the North and West a iair chance to test those rates for them- selves. When the railw ome to a standsull because their Directors caunot tind decent and competent men in the open markct to run them, tne wrongs of the ‘strikers ” will be righted as they vever can he by strikes, which may be in- tended, perhaps, to “carom: on capital, but waich are certainly leveled pointbiank at unem- ployed labor. LABOR. Priladelvhia Timea, ‘The stability and the fature power of the labor associations of the country will depend wholly upon the attitude that their controlling ele- ments ehall be reearded as assuming in the present conflict. If it shall be accepted that as- soviated labor generally throughout the country are Jaborere and workingmen, and in conse- quence of the embargo on transportation from tne West to the Enst, cattle have become so scarce that the price of beef has risen threecents per pound. Thatisaseveretax on the food of the daily laborer. The mechanics and workingmen who sympathize with riotous strikers willthere- tore perceive that thoush the strikers may gain alittle at one end of the line, workingmen at the other Jose a good deal more, . It is the con- clusion of all history that labor never gains by a riotous strike, for’ it not ouly prejudices their cause in the estimation of the community at large, but it frequently inflicts direct injury in advanced prices upon their colaborers in other sections ol the country. THE HIGUTS OF LABOR. Yew York Bultetin, We ate hearing, and for a long while to come we'shall doubtless continue to hear, a greatdeal about the rights of labor. The Tompkins Square people just uow are especially fall of it; but there is one right which, somehow or other, these individuals will not take iute account, and that is the rigat of a laboring man or avy other man to own bimself and to sell his labor to whosoever he sees fit without any outside dicta- tion or meddling whatsoever. One would sup- pose trom the way they taik that nobody in this country had any rights but themselves. They are food or devlaitaing about monopolies; but what more detestable monopoly than this, which arrovates to iteelf the right to control individual action, and if the control be resisted to meet it with violence and intimidation and bloodshed. ROTH SIDES. New York Evening Post. ‘When the question of wrong-doing comes up, both sides. must be judged by the same rule.

The difference is only one of degree. MONSTROUS OUTRAGE. Loutscitte Courter-Journat. Most of the gangs of desperadoes who started out yesterday to interfere with honest work- men, and to stop work in establishments where there is no dissatisfaction or trouble, were ar- rested and are now lodged in jail. What must workingmen think of those who, claiming fel- lowship with them and refusing to work them- selves, Would raise disturbances where none ex- ist and force poor laborers, who have families to support, to quit place: ich yield them their daily bread, and with which they have not the least complaint to make!

When the strike commenced we were 60l- emnly assured by its leaders that it meant no act of outlawry, and no interference with the rights of private property. It has proceeded several days, und what are the results! Scenes have been enacted every day which in ordinary times would have sent their actors to the Penitentiary.

Pablic feeling strongly demaads the restora- tion to the railroad control over its prop~ erty. This demand is the outgrowth of the riot. Before the riot, when there was peace, althotgh the strikers undoubtedly interfered with the freight business of the roads by persuasion, if nothing else, there was uiloubtedIy sympathy toward thei, though not toward their methods. Now this sympathy is toward law, It is felt that the law must be fully and completely enforced— not for one party or another, but for the public and itself.

THE MEETING AT CLEVELAND which closed last Friday was without doubt the most Interesting and extraordinary one ever held in this country, and, strange as it may seem, this fact can be attributed only to the passage of the bill prohibiting pool-selling by the last New York Legislature. Toe Tripone never bas, and never will, advocate pool-selling or any other form of gambling, but it is useless to deny that the pool-box is a necessary evil, if indecd any evil can be said to be necessary. Ex- perience of the most costly character has dem- onstrated to track manavers in all parts of the country that'men who enter horses fn races, and the majority of those who attend the meetings, desire to wager a greater or less amount on the success of their favorite, and that the receipts of the tracks from this source aid very materi- ally in making the cash account balance on the right side. The opponents of pool- selling naye stropg arguments in their favor, and, on genera princfples are correct in their views, but their talk about -the absence of the pool-box causing more money to be received at the gate than would have been received as commission on the money wagered is sheer nonsense. The absence of the pool-box from Dexter Park would not attract 109 people who woyld otherwise have stayed away, and the game rule will. doubtless hold good in other large cities, And while on this subject Tue Tripunz would call attention to the fact. that the National Association of Trotting-Horse Breeders, the members of which were among the most carnest advocates of the New York Pool-bill, have chosen Hartford. Conn., as the place of its inaugural meeting, and it is broad- ly hinted that this action was taken because the officers of the Association knew that to hold a mmeetivg in New York, where pool-selling was prohibited, would insure the slimmest kind of an attendance. But to return to the statement that the ex- traordinary success of the Cleveland meeting was due to the prohibition of pool-sellinz in New York State. It may seem strange to some that this statement is made, but ft can easily be substantiated. The only meetings in the Grand Central Cireuit where pool-selling will be ‘allowed are those at Cleveland, Hartcord, and Springfield. The latter was held two wecks ago, but was a failure. Those who entered their horses at Cleveland knewy that it would be the ouly chance where betting was to be had, and accordingly all determined to win, and the orders in every stuble were to “get. to the front every tine.” This was shown by the result of the different Faces, as summarized in the table at the close of this article. Everybody wanted to win at Cleve- tand, iustead of laying back to get a line on the other horses, which should be of use when a coup was to be made further down the line. Owners and drivers saw that if there was any- thing to be won out of the pool-box it must be secured at the etart, for after leaving Cleveland there would be no chance to bet until Hartford was reached, and by that time a hundred things, aug one of which would effectually frustrate the proposed scheme, might happen. As Lefore stated, a glanceat the table of winners will show this, and it will be noticed that alarge uumber of horses which secured only second, third, or fourth money, did so at the expense of a yery him, All shot along as if there was.a herd ahead. Atthe end of the quarter-mile, Roach, the man who eventually won the mace, was several lengths behind the other, but he touched bis horse up, ana, after a brilliant struggle, came in the winner by two lengths. He was, therefore, awirded the handsome $35 whip which had been put pp for the occasion. ‘The action of the persuns who too' part in the race was very unxentlemanly, and could be charscterized only ax course and vulgar. Indecent, wbscene, and bissphemous expressions Were uttered within the hearing of the spectators, and the general expression of the ladies and gen- tlemen present was that they should not bave been allowed to go on the track. "I'he great wonder wag that there had ever been such a thing projected, as it was entirely uncalled forand ont of keeping with the purposes for which the track was started, A latve number of persons said if such an affair was again allowed ther would be forced to Rive the race-track at least a wide berth. Roach, who won the rice, was from the National Stock: Yards. St. Louis horsemen should resolve right now that all such disgraceful scenes as those de- scribed above be forever banished from the new track, or turf. sports will coun be sunk to as low a level as they were in Chicago when Col. Mansur took charge of Dexter Park a few years ago. One such experience as the gentle- men who attended Saturday’s sport (1) at the St. Louis track underwent will keep them away from race-tracks for soveral years to come, and what is more, will cause them to advise all their friends to stay away also. The new St. Louis track can be made a success only if conducted on high-toned principles, and those having the matter in charze should see to it that all die- reputable characters and practices are squelched as soon as they appear. A DIZZY CORRESPONDENT. ‘The average correspondent of the New York sporting journals is a funny specimen. Ale is generally a young man with more leisure than brains, and an ‘unwavering faith in bis own ability as a writer on sporting matters. His communications to the paper which be repre- sents are usually a mixture of nonsense and untruth in about equal parts. Any item of news that may appear in his lucubrations is in- variably stolen from the daily papers of a week previous, and used without credit being given. ‘There is a very fine specimen of this class in Chicago, and at present he is permitted to ex- hivit the fruits of his powerful intellect to the columus of the Spirit of the Times.

We fully agree with the New York Tribune that “The man who wantonly lights an incen- @iary fire in a crowded city, or bears the seeds of pestilence into a crowded hall, is not guilty of a more clearly-defined crime against society than he who blocks up the channels of transpor- tation upon which ali commerce ‘and industry depend.” There is probably not a family in the State of Indiana which will not experience some form of damage, injury, or inconvenience from has actively or passively sympathized witn the Jawless features of the present strike, the fu- ture of suvh organizations will be a steady de- cline and.a lingering death.

The inevitable resuit will be tne mutual asaociation of the leading corporations and wanufacturers and operators with their own labor, by which they will establish their own standard of attainments and character, and attach their em- ploys to ther special interests by such beneficial Fegulations as will irrevokably’ separate them from the reach of all outside orcanizations.

Take, for instance, thecase of the stallion King Phillip, in the 3:27 race, on Weduesday. He captured the first heat in 2:21, but was so done up by the effort that in the succecding heats he made no showing at all. No sensible man Will fora moment suppose that the driver of King Phillip would pat his horse In the 2:21 class unless in an effort to win the raze, but it is worth a great deal mere than $250 (the amount, won by Ring Phillip) to lower a horse’s record from 2:24 to 2:31 Again, in the 2:21 rac Little Fred took a record of 2:20 ina vain en- have been right in many cases, some of which may be mentioned here: . In opening the sea- son, the Chicagos won the first and lost the second game with the Hartfords; a few days afterward in St. Louis they again won the first and lost.the second: then in cinnati they re- peated the dose without variation; next with the Lonisvilles in Chicazo they repeated the trick; next with the Bostons they repeated; then twice with the Hartfords, and once again with St. Louis, they perfomed the same identical manenyre; making altogther eight times which they ran the same curious race. It is, to say the least, extraordinary that this should have happened so often. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. ‘The status this weck is much changed from: Jast, and the St. Louis bave a good lead, which has greatly envouraged them. It should be remeinbered, however, that the future is more unfayorable to the West than the East, in that The Rochester Sundey Herald says that tho Rochester Club aro st present voyaging on un- known waters, with belpicss helmsmen, and in imminent danger of ship Redmond, the short-stop of the Iate Memphis Reds, who played a few games with the Cincin- natis, has gone to Milwaukee to play there the balance of the scason.

In the same race, Harry Clay took a record of 2:238, without standiag any show to win the racer. These {nstances go to prove that nearly every horse in each race wanted'to win, and, as records scemed to be no object, it is fair to presume that the owner or dtiver of each flyer was ‘in the box” to a greater or less extent, and were bound to win if possible. And tnis fact will operate to the advantage of all other places in in the circuit. Ail the really good horses in each Class have struck their lowest notch at Cleveland, and hereafter there will be no occa- sion for pulling in order to savea record. But that the financial success of the meetings where ‘pools are not sold will be as great this year as previously is not at all certain, but when the receipts and expenditures have been figured up it is to be hoped that the officers of the Buffalo and Rochester Associations will make a public statement of the same, for the benefit of all parties interested. or driver.
