A Bad Precedent. The Glen cho railroad surreptitiously ard in violation of law laid its tracks neross a public highway. The Commission- ers, whose duty it was ioe prevent this act, 4 who had and have no authority what- scever to graat a permit for it, now reward centemptuous defiance of law by endorsiag, in a formal permit, the illegal act, thus taking upon their own shoulders a share of responsibility for a violation of law. They become accessories to the law-break- ing of the Gi Echo road because they think that the public convenience is sub- served by this particu violation of the tatutes «nd because they guess, eppar- ertly with reason, that Congress will con- one the offense and tegalize che illegal act The precedent is a bad cne. Every other crporation with a tendency to disregard the law is encouraged ‘n that tendency. The Fails Church road which was checked in its effort to make a similar illegal seiz~ vre of the use of public property can justly complain. We too, this road may reason- ably wish to serve the pullie con- venience by our unauthorized extension. We too will pledge ourselves to gei legalizing legislation from Congress. J£ the Commis- sicners may permit one railway to cross a public highway on the score of public ccn- venience in violation of law, becaise they are convinced that the legs! prohibition will in the near future be rems , on the same grounds, permi ¥ to make any local extension whatso- he test of the enforces] law being not its existing words, but the Commis- sicners’ opinion concerning what the law will be. The only safe pian is to live up to the law as it is, no matter how many nearly cessful efforts to change !t have been de in the past, and no matter how cer- a future alteration of it may seem. In ling with an attempt of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad to extend its tracks a short distance from its main line to ad- Jacent property which it nad pu: the Supreme Court of the United Sta y. . Reports, points out that ilroad nor board of Commissioners stitute itself for Congress on any a in such cases. “We are of opinion,” decision concludes, “that when this the company wishes to depart in any direction from the line of its present tra scribed for it by acts of Congress, it must obtain permission to do so irom that body. 4nd that Congress and sot the court, nor the company, is the judge of the expe- diency or the necessity of such’ such change, and of the manner in which the public good requires it to be made, and the safeguards which should accompany it.” —_~>+e—____ . John Sherman. The annotncement that Secretary Sher- man will shortly speak in Ohio on national issues is of far more than ordinary interest. Especially is it noteworthy in view of the fact that free coinage at 16 to 1 is still the overshadowing 1 ational issue, and on that issue. as, indeed, on any phase, of tne money question, Mr. Sherman is far and away the most eminent living American au- thority. It would not be an easy matter to exag- serate how r uch the people of this coun- try owe to the veteran. statesman from Ohio for both his wise ard timely deliver- ances, and: his wise and timiely pérform- arces whrle in executive office, in resisting unwise c»unsel with regard to the finances, and in maintaining the public credit. He filled the office of Secretary ‘of the Treas- ury at a time when both wisdom of a high order and resolution of an ‘equally high order were necessary to prevent national and he rose to the occasion in the full stature of a couragéous and re- sourceful financier. Specie payments were resumed against the most confident predic- tions that they could not be, and against all the forces of inflation then marshaled under the banner of greenbackism to try to prevent it, and so well was the resump- tion pelicy inaugurated that it has never since been shaken. Administrations, both republican and democratic, have found their Sreates: security in following the lines that Mr. Sherman then drew. Greenbackism has been succeeded by the free silver issue. The demand is still for @ larger volume of currency carrying in very large part the government's fiat. Many of the same leaders who twenty years ago were behind the one issue are today behind the other, and their argu- ments are very much the same in the one ‘ase as in the other. The faliacy, indeed, is cne of great tenacity, being the product of unrest and hard times. The discon- tented seem always ready to lsten to the Fromise of securing something for nothing, and to believe in the power of “Uncle Sam to give us all a farm.” But Mr. Sherman on deck to challenge the fallacy. knows it in all of its forms, and he deals with it equally well in any of them. He has made the vast and important sub- ject his own, and while he is not the finan- cial adviser of this administration as he was of the Hayes administration, the coun- try listens te him with the sdme respect on financial questions and with the same profit. Mr. Sherman on the stump in Ohio indeed will address not alone the people of that state but the people of all the states. He will speak to the whole coun- try. —_+ee—____ Boston nas“been having a great deal of reuble with burglars, who disguised them- selves as milk men.

A Deplorable Outbreak. A tregedy occurred yesterday in eastern Pennsylvania as a result of a strike among the coal miners of that region that may have an important beariag upon the greater labor disturbance in the western end of the state, where other coal miners are now engaged in an effort to secure better con- divions from their employers. At Lattimer, Luzerne county, a x of strikers, various- ly state¢ to number 200 to 400, almost exclusively men of foreign birth, were marching from point to point among the mines, seeking to persuade those at work to join their ranks. At one point, it is Stated, the strikers used violence to ac- complish their mission, chasing the work- ers and beating them. Accounts differ, however, as to this particular. he mob then headed for Lattimer, increasing in tumbers and determination. Deputy sher- iffs were assembled on the scene to inter- the strikers to stop and read te them in English a proclamation that laid on them the injunction to disperse peaceably. This was not well understood by the Hungarians in the crowd, and whether it was under- stood by their leaders is not determined. It is probable that the mob knew well enough that they were confronted by the representatives of the law and that they were bidden to pause in the: name of the law. They refused to retreat, pressed around the sheriff and the leading deputies, a scrimmage resulted, in which blows are said to have been struck, the sheriff was being overcome, according to his story, and in the confusion an order was given to fire. At least nineteen strikers were killed ond many more were wounded. In the absence of positive details of the affair it is impossible to determine the measure of right or wrong on the two sides. It fs to be remembered, however, that the strikers were ignorant men, un- acquainted with the law and language of the country. For this, for the importa- tion of a dangerous class of workmen under such circumstances, the mine owners and operators are primarily responsible. If they seek cheap !abor from such sources they incur grave risks of creating anar- chical conditions. Much depends, in the final estimate of the responsibility, as to how far the strikers had gone in the use of violence and bow f&r the sheriff was justified in assuming that they were on in errand that entitled him to deprive them of the right to march upon the highway. This strike out of which the riot grew is not the same as that which is now in conference between strikers and employ- ers. The main disturbznce ts in the west- ern pert of the state, and involves only the miners of soft ccal, while that at Hazelton and its vicinity includes the hard coal workers. Thus save for its indirect influence, which must not be underesti- mated, the affair at Lattimer should aave no bearing on the prospects of a peaceful settlement of the great strike. The loss of life at Lattimer is deeply to be deplored, and it ts exceedingly unfor- tunate that matters have so shaped ‘them- selves as to bring this feature into a labor centroversy in which on the whole reason tather than passion has seemed to control. é ——~+2—___ Kill Grass and Mend Pavements! In ring-ricden Philadelphia the street railway companies are compelled to pave from curb to curb the streets occupied by tracks. In Washington the railway com- panies are required only to pave between the tracks and to a distance of two feet from the outer rails. The Philadelphia re- quirement cannot be regarded as unreason- able. The Washington plan ts extremely liberal. But our quasi-public corporations generally regard public liberality as public weakness, and proceed accordingly. ‘There- fore, the further requirement that the Pavement shall be kept i repair docs not receive the attention it deserves: In a chapter published elsewhere in this issue oi The Star will be found interesting in- formation as to the conditions of paving along the lines of street-railroads in the District of Columbia. As usual, the Belt and Eckington companies occupy the front rank among the offenders, and they will doubtless continue to do so as long as the present receivership is in existence. It is ciearly demonstrated that the receivership bars the way of the District officials who are anxious to kave the city street sur- faces in fairly good shape; certificates of indebtedress issued against the Belt-Eck- ington combination have no appreciable value in business circles. The remedy sug- gested by Captain Beach seems to he a good one, but it will hardly receive the support of the railway companies; they ob- Ject strenuously to any proposition which has for its object the enforcement of laws they do not like. It ts quite possible, though, that Congress may view the mat- ter from the people’s standpoint and not from the position occupied by the com- panies; in which event the more prominent of our highways will surely be much im- proved without injustice being done to any interest. A very annoying feature of corporate careiessness is the grass which some of the companies permit to grow pro- fusely between and in the immediate vicin- ity of their tracks. Washington is not a village, giving free thoroughfare to the cews and goats ¢ommon enough in small provincial communities; it is the capital of the nation. Even if the offending com- panies are deliberate and obstructive as to paving-repairs they should not delay an hour the work of uprooting the hay, crops which flourish under the warmth of the September sun. Kill the grass and mend the pavement! ——_+ee—____ The Compromise Rate Rejected. The action of the striking bituminous coal miners today at Columbus in reject- ing the €5-cent compromise rate recently agreed upon between the operators and representatives of the strikers leads in- evitably to the necessity for further con- ferences or Cfforts to submit the whole controversy to arbitration. This decision is to be accepted as notice to the operators that the new rate, however fixed, must be above 65 ceats per ton. The miners’ origt- nal contention was for 69 cents, and the @-cent rate was thought to be a fair med- ium between what the strikers wanted and what the operators felt able to pay. The effort to settle the differences peacefully should not be abandoned, but should be renewed with even greater vigor than be- fore, for the necessity for an amicable understanding is row more grave than ever. ——__+2___ A Question of Responsibility. It is intimated that 2 raflroad company with its offices in another city may violate the local laws and in doing so destroy life and property without incurring any re- sponsibility either for failing to provide the safeguards that the law specifies or for the destruction of life; that no re- sponsibility can be fixed upon the corpora- tions because thelr chief offfcers are in Baltimore or Philadelphia. if the corpora- tions are here sufficiently to violate the law and to take life and destroy property they are here in the person of some of their representatives sufficiently to be pun- ished’ for these offenses. This community e>pects its officials to fasten tke responsi- bility upon the proper parties and will ac- cept no excuses for failure to do so. ——_—__ + e+ ____ While it may be possible to justify Sherift Martin's haste in ordering his men to fire, no one will undertake to point him out as possessing the coolness which character- izés a hero in an emergency. ———~++e—___ King George of Greece ts a musician, and will, therefore, realize the importanc= of paying the piper when the Turkish col- lector arrives.
