I feel called upon to say something siul and not ordinarily permitted -/Uil^es. 1 want to s.iy in plain wonls !>••- ■ fore a plain people that whatever the out come of the case, you have been fair. “I say there was no redress from the Pullman „ horror. What could they do? Declare^* "W<ar? No. Hrealc the public peace? No. Then what may they do? 'Anything that the God-given conscience prompts them. That is the liberty of this aigg. “Isn’t It a deplorable state of affairs that while the press rang out, while the pulpits roared against the Iniquities at Pullman, no power in the law of this country stepped forward to stop them? These people were starving, yet not a flag was raised, not a drum beat, not an of ficer of thl3 government stepped forward to raise his hand in behalf of them. •“This case is the beginning of. suits, our friends on the other side tell us. To us iif is the end of defensive suits. We ear on our defense for the last time, omor- row we shallbe gin on them. The coiu .scienoa of this nation will demand that a special counsel be appointed to prosecute the general managers. “These clients are charged with setting fire to cars. We ghall find out tomorrow who set these fires—these cheap fires to turn the temper of tho public. lids fair city will never pay $3,000,00 to the rail roads until it finds out who set these fires. I hope the nation will give the general managers on opportunity to de fend themselves. ^ “Pulman la, ff not In law, In equity, the sole operator of the Santa Fe cars. Pall- man was guilty of a cause to strike, and so the strike came. If members of the . R. U. had a right to strike against Full- man. they had a right also to strike against Pullman’s contractors—the mil- roads. STEAMER LINES FIGHTING.
