THE CHICAGO STRIKE. TI»o Two Thousand Car Mon Make II Hot f)r the Kg.u). CHICAGO,-111., Oct. 11.—To-da) a few cars were sent over the principal West Side lines under police guard.

A wooden wedge had been suddenly inserted in the switch by one of the mob Superintendent Nagel was the driver of (he car. He seemed to be the object of some dislike from the strikers and their sympathizers. In a moment after the car stopped the vicinity was a pandemonium. Stones and sticks were hurled at the car, and the air rang with yells and curses. A flying brick caught the superintendent in the stomach. Ut¬ tering an oath, he pulled a revolver from hi3 pocket and turned towards the crowd. The conductor, Harris, who had been discharged by the company for cause long previous to the strike but re¬ employed lowed in the emergency, quickly fol¬ the example of the superintend¬ ent. The sharp click as the two cocked their weapons was the signal for an un¬ expected Shea incident. Police Nagel Lieutenant was seen to grasp and, by him. main strength, force the pistol from “You fool, what do you mean?" blurt¬ ed out the lieutenant. Harris was dis¬ armed with as little ceremony. Nagel left the car, and when off his guard for a moment received a stunning blow in the jaw from a heavy built man, who was under the influence of liquor, but none the less powerful for that, A gen¬ eral scrimmage ensued, in which Nagel and his assailant were roughly handled. The latter, a Chicago and Northwestern switchman, named John Gleason, had to be clubtod and then sat upon in the patrol wagon by half a dozen less policemen. Others were scarcely determined, and but for the fact tliat all appeared to be unarmed the fray would scarcely have been finished without the sacrifice of a number of lives. So far as learned, no one on either side was dangerously injured. In the meantime there was great irri tation on the North Side, where the crowds had been angered by the club¬ bing crowd of women and men by the police. of The kept up a constant roar epithets and vituperation, evidently and greatly the im¬ ported men were re¬ lieved when, after a few brushes with the police, placard they were has partially been distributed dispersed. by the A large and is being displayed in strikers, store windows and on out door fruit stands, reading: “Protect Chicago Labor against Paupers Pennsylvania No Carnegie Tactics for Us.” No attempt has been made to run cars since dark, and the excitement has meas urably diminished.

Now the postmaster thinks himself lucky if he has no more than 115,000 or 120,000 letters per mail, and he has three or four European mails per week It is surprising to recall all of the great changes that have taken place in this country and in Europe during the last decade. As I told them on the other side, 1 believe with John Richard Greene, that the seat of power among English speaking people Mersey, has and departed from the Thames and now reposes on the banks of the Hudson and Mississippi. We should foster over here in our won¬ derful America, peace and trade and commerce, and everything that tends to spread civilization and general informa¬ tion by means of cheap postage, and a Tree press should be encouraged by con¬ gress. Special legislation and everything should be en¬ acted, if necessary, done to build up our growing prosperity. “When I was in London 1 had a long talk in regard to a reduction of the inter¬ national postal rates with the Hon. 1). A. Thomas, a member of parliament, lie was so much impressed with the im¬ portance of the subject that he said hi* intended to call on the right honorable postmaster general and see if there could not be a cheaper schedule arranged in the postal service between Great Britain and the United States. “You know it is said,” continued Mr. James, that the British post office au¬ thorities want to make money out of the postal service. It is often said they have subsidized two lines of steamships. But you cannot call it a subsidy exactly, for they merely pay the ocean steamer lines for stopping their vessels at Queenstown and waiting for the Irish mails, which come across the country from London after the steamers have already begun their transatlantic voyages. They are liable sometime* to be serious delays, and of course the companies ought to to Tiaid for waiting The postmaster in New York doe3 not give our European rope mails but nails always to to any any particular particular pouches steamship steamship by line, li sends the the fastest ship has sailing on a satisfactory given day, and the result been very both to business men and to the postoffice de¬ partment.

They have tbe advantage over us in having a dozen deliveries a day, while we have only eight.

Edward Turing’s work at Uppingham has centered around two or three clear and sharply defined ideas—some principles of educational conduct which may be looked upon as fundamental and universal. The first of these and that from which every¬ thing clso springs, is simple enough. It is that every boy, stupid and clever alike, should have a fair chance, and should be really trained. Mr. Thring claims that no school, however great its prestige, num¬ bers, wealth or its list of prize winners, can to> called a good school, or oven on honest school, unless it makes this a first condition of its work. The importance of the principle cannot to overestimated'. Fully accepted and acted upon, it would revolutionize most of tho schools of Eng¬ land, and probably most of those m America. No true judgment of a school’s real merits can to formed from its prize win¬ ning record. Given a school which drawn some hundreds of boys from classes of society where tho earlier training is fairly good, let it liavo wealth enough to attract a number of exceptionally able teachers, turn the teaching power of these upon even a small proportion of the cleverest pupils, overwhelming and you may have a school with an list of university and other scholastic distinction, while the mass of tiie boys are almost entirely neglected. That this picture does not unfairly repre¬ sent tho work of some famous schools is a known fact.—George R. Parkin in The Century 1UODCCE MARKET. [CORRECTED DAILY EY MirKUBERRY* *UWM] Hay, Grain, Ktc.
