2 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. THE EVENING WASHINGTON bona fide daily cirenlation more than treble that of any other daily paper published in Washington, and much greater than that ofall the ether daily papers here added together. ee ‘The Reading strikers got the worst of their frst skirmish with the company, and yesterday after. noon a dispateh from Philadelphia went ail over ‘the country saying that the trouble was composed. ‘This ts probably an inaccurate statement, for, as 1s usually the case with these sudden changes from tar to peace, the two parties to the truce did not understand each other. It 1s safe to say that no body in which Mr. Corbin holds an authorita- tive position will relimquish Its claims so hastily as shia, and it seems hardly likely that all the con- cessions would come from the Knights of Labor within twenty-four hours after they had declared ‘thelr purpose to continue the struggle for six months if necessary ‘There is not much doubt, nevertheless, that the present strike will prove a failure. The season of ‘he year, the disamfection among the knights them- selves, the unwillingness of mony of thelr fellow. employés to make common cause with a handfut of men Whose grievances cannot be traced to any unreasonable demand on the part of the em- ployera, and the firm stand taken at the outset by the president of the company and the associate receivers, ail militate against its success, The knights charge that the company has violated article 13 of the agreement entered into with them last winter, in which the stipulation was made That no employé of the company should be discharged without frst being given a Bearing. ‘Superintendent Sweigard, they say, discharged the three men Who refused to deliver cars to Taylor's elevator In Port Hichmond, and fefused to arbitrate or try thetr case in any way. Mr. Sweigard admits that he discharged the men for fiat insubordination; it was the only way the road could get its work done, and the committee who waited on him afterward with regard to the ‘matter seemed to appreciate that fact and dropped the subject when he deciined to discuss it, About ‘two months ago, he adds, three brakemen refused % go out on a tratn because the conductor was not @ Knight of Labtor. They were dismissed on the spot, Dut afterward, in response to urgent appeals thetr punishment was reduced to suspension for ninety days, upon the express condition that the knights should not thereafter seek for the rein- statement of any man discharged for refus- ing to obey the orders of his superiors ft was tn accordance with this last understanding ‘that the men were dismissed Who refused to de- Iver cars at the Taylor elevator. Next to an army, there 1s no organization where ‘The maintenance of disctpline is more necessary ‘than oh & steamship line or a railroad. Dis- obedience to orders is liable to result in incalcula- bie damage to lives and property; and, whatever his private inconvenience, every man’s publicduty 4810 Obey promptly and withhold his grievance {ill a proper time for its presentation. If a ship ‘Were to springa leak and the sailors were to re. fuseto Work the pumps because some article in their contract with the owner had not been ful- filled to their satistaction, the severest penalties imposed by the officer In command would be justi- fied by pubitc opinion and by the courts, provided no more violence were used than seemed to be nec- essary to support his authority. The satlors would Rave thetr remedy in a suit for damages or specific performance when they reached port again. In the same way, where railroad trains have to be started on the minute and run tocer- tain destinations, in conformity with a senedule adopted for the purpose of avoiding collisions and other mishaps, it is necessary to have every man at bis post and prepared to obey orders to the letter. It ts hard to see how @ road could be man- aged on anyother principle. ————— ‘The affairs of the Chesapeake and Ohio;Canal jook brighter again, with the news that President Baughman has succeeded in raising enough money 1o pay, on January 3d, 1888, the interest on the re- pair donds which will then have been one year overdue. This will stave off foreclosure for six months, at any rate, and give the friends of the canal a chance totake breath. It ts pleasant in- Telligence; for, if whe legisiature can in the mean- While be induced to put on its course a constitu- Uonal amendment permitting the state to protect its chief artificial water-way. public confidence will De sufficiently stimulated to render the rest of ‘he work of redemption infinitely easter. According toa statement made by state Troas- urer Archer, a Baltimore and Ohio syndicate hare already Obtained possession of repair bonds to the face value of $256,000, of somewhat more than enough to control the vote ona foreclosure. ‘Next July the B. aud O. will have to pay into the treasury of the state the sum of $386,000, or its equivaient, In redemption of matnred compromise onda. Ifthe canal company can tide over that time, tt 18 possible that the state board of public ‘Works will have passed approvingly on the project for the purchase of $500,000 of the repair bonds for the sinking fund, and that the B. and 0.’s syndi- cate, rather than pay the whole of its indebted- ness in money, Will turn in as cash the bonds it now holds, and reduce the Dalauce against it to $210,000. This would avert all preseat danger and give the canal a chance to prove its capacity for paying its own way. All the leading state officers seem to be agreed im the belief that the canal has a large enouzh in- trinsic value to justify the state in maintaining it ‘The controller estimates it at $4,000,000, and the treasurer thinks that it would bring not Jess than $2,000,000 at a forced sale. Its water- Jrouts and other real estate in this District alone are set down as worth a milion dollars; and the snntal rentals of water rights amount to from {$30,000 to #40,000. The whole subject ts exciting muuch interest at Annapolis in view of the ap- Proaching session of tbe lezislature. —————— ‘Though out of sight, the genial Eugene Higgins ‘Will be by nomeansout of mind when heshall have quitted Washington and federal office. We shall Bear trom him daily in the reports of the proceed- ‘Ings of the Marylaud legislature; for it appears RoW to be as good as settled that he will be chiet clerk of the next House. It will be in many re. spects a fitter place for him tuan the one be has ceupted forthe last two years and a half, For Senator Gorman, asthe head of the democratic party in Maryland, to keep his next friend and es- ‘Wemed assistant in a position of trust at the state capital is all well enough, if the people of Mary- jand are willing; but to have this same Meutenant 4m tue federal employ where so much patron- age 1s dispensed as in the appointment-clerk’s office at the Treasury, was not wholly to the taste ot every one, and especially of some of President Cleveland's mugwump allies, When the result of ‘the Marylend election of 1885 was announced, Mr. Higgins was asked whether. in bis opinion, tt showed popular approval of the administration. ‘With an ejaculation whieh indicated that the ad- ministration’s interests were not then the upper- most topic tm bis mind, beexelaimed: “Tuere’s one thing I doknow—it vindicates me™ Probably his election next month to an office in the legisia- ture, following bis somewhat stormy career in Washington and his former legislative and clerical mervices, will be accepted—by himself and his col- Jeagues in Maryland politics, if by nobody else—as another stage in the process of “vindication” through waich It is his ambition to pass. ———— The European war scare is increasing, ‘obody seems to be able to give a definite reason ‘why hostilities may not be averted now by diplo- macy, as heretofore.
