DEBS: PRESIDENT OF HE great strike and boycott of Chicago has terminated in a disastrous defeat for the men. Labour has had its Bull's Run. It remains to be seen whether the disaster will have as invigorating an effect upon the working classes as the Southern victory had upon the Northern States. War is an ugly word and should not be used lightly, but if it be correctly defined as an appeal by disputants to blood and iron, to fire and sword, then undoubtedly industrial war in America has ap-. proached ominously near to the fatal brink, if, indeed, it has not crossed the frontier. The news from Chicago and Sacramento within the last two months bears an ugly resemblance to that which records the progress of a campaign in which rival forces are THE AMERICAN RAILWAY UNION. by fire is estimated at considerably over a million sterling. The indirect losses are quite incalculable. In the piping times of peace men can do without leaders, but in war it is different. The superstition which is so prevalent in the American democracy, that there is no need for leaders in a republic, that every man is as good as his neighbour, if not a little better, and that therefore he has no need to trust his brother or to find any man whose word of command he will implicitly obey, cannot survive a single day of actual fighting. Hence every campaign sees the evolution of the supreme fighting man, the gradual recognition by the rank and file of the necessity for obedience and the recognition of the qualities which make a great leader. After the Civil War half-adozen great chiefs stood out in clear relief as the representatives of the military capacity of the nation. But before the true leader is found, a great many false ones are used up. Until the taciturn actually in the field. The number of killed was not great, indeed much less than could have been anticipated considering the number of shots that were fired by armed men against each other. Great battles in history have been decided with exceedingly little bloodshed, but in destruction of property and in monetary loss it is possible that the campaign in Chicago and the West has cost more in £ s. d. than, let us say, a year's campaign in the Wars of the Roses. The property in Chicago alone destroyed From Beiblatt zum Kladderadatsch.] [July 15, 1894.
