PIrTsBURG RISES UP AND SAYS ''BY THE
ETERNAL THE LAW MUST AND SHALL
BE oBEYED"
PITTsBURG, July 25-9 A. M.-The
events of yesterday were not as whole
entirely assuring during the early part
of the day. The city was comparatively
quiet, and whatever excitement there
may have been was manifested very
quietly, while careful preparations to
meet any outcroppings orthe mob spirit
continued to be made. The Governor
reached the city late in the afternoon,
and spent a short time here exerting
his personal influence TO quell the dis
turbance, and then proceeded to Harris
burg.
| AS the day wore on the drift of public
| sentiment became more decided against
the strikers, and, as to the fire bugs, the
disposition is positive II they show them
l anIVna uUuiu n a IaD tar ,uif
mercy. There is now enough of the
effective force to do this, and no more
outrages on the part of that element will
be permitted. The United States Gov
eminent now proposes to enter the list
and put down this insurrection at all
hazards. There is therefore to be quiet
and obedience to law, or there will be
bloody work in the enforcement OF law.
Whatever rights or wrongs there may
be, il js not intended to longer allow the
counts TO be ruled by the mob spirit.
First, there will be exacted strict and
absolute obedience to law, and then
whatever Of right or wrong there may
be can be certained and justified or
corrected. But, first OF all, obedience
TO proper authority will be enforced. 1t
isTeported that the railroad companies
do not propose to run their trains till
they are fully and amply protected in
the use OF their property. While they
are right in this, we believe, in view OF
the rights of the public and the gravity
OF the situation, 1t will be well for the
Government to take possession Of and
run the roads, carrying mails, passen.
gers and transporting freight for the
public. There would be NO difficulty in
this, or if there was let martial law be
proclaimed and the power Of the Gov
Iernment enforced. Whatever is done
should also be promptly done. The
spirit OF The Commune ls growing, and
this can not be tolerated. 1t is no time
to parley when mob rule seeks to become
rampant.
| Such is the case at present, and I'M
less the property of the railroad COM
panles is restored to them those who
hold possession by force must be re-
garded as rioters and treated accord
ingly. There is a disposition among a
particular element of the city to claim
lhat expressions In the press ON Satur-
day stating merely thatpublic sympathy
was inclined to the strikers served W
encourage the misdeeds that have since
taken place. Tnis 10 SO entirely false
that IL seems like demagoguery to as
sert it. Except in one paper, unLil SUM-
day there was not a sy liable uttered by
the daily press that was other than il
should 1t nave been. Two of sundays
papers were guilty OF stimulating the
riot, but all this is not Of present eonse-
quence.
There is only one consideration that
can be allowed to rule at the present:
peace and order must be restored, busi-
ness allowed to 20 forward, and the
rights OF all respected. This is para
mount to every other consideration
Public feeling strongly demands the
restoration to the railroads control
over their property. TAis demand is the
outgrowth OF the riot. Before the riot
when there was peace, although the
strikers undoubtedly interferred with
the freight business of the road, there
was undoubtedly sympathy toward
them though not toward their methods.
Now, this sympathy is toward law. 1t
is felt that the law must be fully and
completely enforced, not 1or One party
as against the other, but ior the pubic.
The right or wrong in the Question can
be looked at hereafter, now the law
must be paramount. Such is the feel
ing now prevailing. Once the law is
4 fully asserted, all the questions con.
nected with Ii will be looked at, and
such OF her workmen as are deserving OF
sympathy. Law and order first and
Justice afterwards.
