hold Of individual erpmsnais. They
have no confidence In these ssnsationai
sheets that talk Of cr,mes in general,
and throw the blame upon all sections
Of our State alike" II promises 10
continue its warfare aginst the inAu-
cuce Of money in shielding crime from
punishment. II SAYS: Kentucky must
be relieved from the opprobrium that
covers her name with infamy all the
country over. And we never can re-
licve her until We dissolve the mutual
admiration society which has been the
bane Of Kcntuckhns fbr so man years.
We must realize the fact that Ken
tuckian is better than anybody else
only when bis conduct is better than
anybody else's conduct. We must
learn to look upon murder when COM
mitted by a Kentuckian as foul as q
crime as when committed by q citizen
Of some other State. We must, above
all things, disabusc our minds Of the
erroneous idea that Kentuckians are
too good to be hanged. We must
use the gallows industriously, and put
a summary stop to imprisonment as a
punishment for murder. God is wiser
and more just and impartial than any
Legislature, and He provides DEATH
as the penalty for murder. That's first
principles. That's sense. A murder
er once hanged and buried cannot COM
nit other murders. The grave is a
penitentisry from which executive
clemency cannot rescue the murderer,
and turn him loose to again prey upon
his fellow-men the first time he gets
drunk. Holding to these opinions, we
opposed the law leaving it to juries 10
imprison or hang, rs they may choose.
II Is silly, it is mischievous, il is infa-
nous. This year the murder calender
in our State has been more than doub-
led already, and quarter Of the year
yet to come and this infamous act Of
the General Assembly is the cause
thereof We must work for its repeal,
every one of us who value our own
lives and the lives Of our neighbors,
and the good name of our common
wealth. We also must work for the
removal of the barricades the statutes
have erected around the murderer, and
which effectually resist every attempt
Of justice to sustain the majesty Of the
law, and exact Of him the penalty Of
his crime. All these things the people
Of Kentucky must accomplish, for the
honor Of our grand old State.

stimulate production, raise the price Of
labor and commodities, and carry US bach
to war prices. But probably the greater
part Of this money would be invested in
real estate, and aid in building up landed
aristocracy. II amounts to the same thing,
whether producing classes pay interest on
bonds, profits Of manufactures, or rents en-
lands. Certain classes now fatten on the
tolls Of the farmer and workman, and they
will do the same whether the debt remains
paid or unpaid
1t il useless for labor reformers to at
Tempt any amendment of the present social
system, with its moneyed power and over
shadowing interests hostile TO labor. These
despotic interests will always come off
victorious. Fifty or q hundred acres of
land scarcely saves the farmer to-day, let
alone five acres. And so long as society is
divided into an interest, rent and profit
class on the one side, and mere labor class
on the other, the last must inev itably be-
come the slaves of the first.
On the contrary, a reorganization of the
industrial classes into Incorporated bodies,
for the purpose Of carrying on production
Of all kinds, establishing home markets in
every State and locality, would bring man
ufactures and agriculture into direct com
munication, without theintervention of any
unproductive class. Suppose the West
were dotted with manufactures in every
locality, using up its wool, grain, meat,
iron, coal, cotton, hides and other products;
those manufacturing and agricultural in
terests equitably exchanging with each
other, what would be the result Clearly
a saving Of all the rent, interest commits
sions, transportation, and their profits and
expenditures that now come exclusively
from the farmer and the workman.
But this cannot be done, because the
classes directly interested in the great re-
form have no money" But if they elect
a government Of their own, it could Just
as easily furnish them money in any guam
tity desired, as it now gives this same
money to classes hostile to labor Such
an arrangement would save the farmer and
workman immense sums now absorbed by
other classes. The payment of the interest
OF principal of the national debt under
such circumstances would be easy The
classes would thereby be dispensed with
that now draw annually half enough to pay
of the national debt.
Labor reformers of all grades must look
this question Of social reconstruction fairly
in the face. Every day that 1t is put off
will only add to the difficulty Of the solu-
ton. j. +. BRAY.

PITTSBURGH MINING NEWS.

The events of the past week has de-
veloped nothing of great importance in
this section The work steadily continues
on the Monongahels river, every road is
filed with men from all sections who find
employment at this season of the year, and
until the spring run of coal is finished will
continue to work here
THE affairs on the railroads are in the
same state as at last reported, although
the feeling exists that ere long resump-
ton of work will ensue, yet the unsettled
state of our manufacturing interests does
not warrant us in predicting great change
until the business naturally resumes with
the growing demand Of the times.
THE Panhandle is dormant.
THE works on the Central Railroad are
idle with few exceptions the operators
appear to be determined that none shall
work except those OBJ igating themselves to
comply with every demand made upon
them.
O'NEI & Co. at West Elizabeth, have
l42 miners, and produce $4,000 bushels
daily.
BLACKBURS's WORKS in the second pool
have liz men, and produce z 800 bushels
daily. There are 800 acres of coal
belonging to these works, sixty Of which
are worked out every acre contains 1OO,-
600 bushels Of coal. 1t costs three-fourths
Of q cent per bushel to tow coal to Pitts

On Tuesday, April IA, 1874, the second ses-
sion of the industrial Congress will convene
in the city of Rochester, n. Y. Every or
ganization having for its object the ameliora-
ton Of the condition of those who labor for a
living, is entitled to one representative upon
payment Of two cents for each of Its members,
for the purpose Of defraying necessary ex-
penses | deem it entirely unnecessary to
urge upon you the necessity of sending rep

The events Of the past few months have
fully demonstrated the Imperative necessity
of a general unity Of action among the toilers
of the lard This can only be secured
through a general congress- of representative
workingmen. and it is your duty to elect and
send these ON. Matters of the utmost impor-
lance to all workingmen will be considered at
the session among others, the advIsability
of forming an organization of labor similar in
its forms, intent and purpose, to the Patrons
of Husbandry the applicability of the fed
erative principle TO trade unions co-Opera-
ton arbitration prisOn-lsbor, etc, etc.
Let no organization entitled to q delegate
fail to elect and send one, SO that the session
alone, irrespective of its action, may appear
as a grand demonstration, and an emphatic
protest of the industrial classes against the
injustice done them by the consolidation Of
monopolies. and the legislative power Of the
nation. Yours, IN the cause OF Labors re-

lowing preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, The Committee appointed by

believing that said committee are injuring our
cause by their Incorporate language, there

Resolved, That Robert Bower, President of
the State Central Committee Of the Ten hour

should not have blamed the whole COM

THE REMOVAL oF,wILsoN.

The action of the Locomotive Engineers
at the recent convention i'll Cleveland, in
deposng their grand chief, will surprise no
one acquainted with the merits of the con-
course they could have pursued and retain
ed their self-respect. Conservatism, So
called, is very well in its place, though it is
TOO often used as a shield for cowardice
For years, under the guidance of Mr.. Will
son, the Engineers rave held then selves
aloof from all recognition of, or utilization
with the Trades organizations Of the United
States, and proclaimed time and agaiL that
they had no interests in common with 9th
that this exclusiveness was the result Of in
herent seltishRess in the chief, rather than
a desire on the part Of the men that such
a course should be pursued. But such &C
ton was only the first chapter in Mr.. WIS
programme Not satisfied with isolating
the organization, his aim was to run the
machine entirely in his own interests,-to
become in fact, its Alpha and Omega. No
matter what the nature of their grievances,
if strike was resorted to, the chief rushed
into print with the announcement that it
was Unauthorized !" and, as legitimate
consequence, a spirit of dissatisfaction has
existed in its ranks for some years espec-
Tally when the victims realized the fact that
they were not so independent of the sym
psthy and support of the outside" unions
as they had supposed. But the finale was
reached, and vsulting ambition overleaped
itself, when the man who was receiving
$50 per week from the hard earned wages
of the Brotherhood for looking after their
interests, coolly invited ''scabs" to take
their places on the Pennsylvania railroad
and its branches, because the engineers re-
fused to submit to a reduction of wages,
by Company which had tcllf,,lIy broken
its CONTRACT
We trust that the lesson taught will not
be thrown away and now that they have
taken one step in the right direction,-
deposed the man who betrayed the trust
con6ded to hiscare-they will take another.
Let them discard the exclusive selfshness
which they have heretofore manifested,
and avow their sympathy with the labor
movement by sending delegates to the next
session Of the industrial Labor Congress.
