LABOR FINGER BOARDS.

Few public journals and fewer public
men are now willing to tell the exact
truth, and the whole truth, as the
causes and consequences of the general
labor strike, that began in lawlessncss,
continued in desolation and death, and
ended in the always inevitable triumph
of the law. If the press and political
leaders had been honest with working
men, they would have saved millions
which have been wasted in wanton idle
ness, dissipation and violence.
The strike that is about closed has
cost labor Immediately not less than
two millions Of dollars in direct loss of
employment has cost incidentally in
decentralization and distrust and will
yet cost il much moro in making resti-
tuition for tho destruction of property
by the mob spirit that was bred from
its disorder. The men who have been
sowing the seeds of turbulence among
labor for years, and insensibly infected
it with disregard for law and unjust
prejudice against capital were not
among those who met the bullets of
troops or the maces ofpolicemen. They
distempcr the mind of labor, and flee
when the first cloud Of danger disap-
pears. They live off the sweat OF labor;
teach IL the rule Of brute force band
II in associations bound by oaths which
impose lawless duties collect its tithes
and dhvesumptuously thereon; huckstcr
its votes in the political market.placcs
and trade for cash and plumber on the
power of the associated labor they pro
fcss TO own.
During twenty years Of moro or less
active participation in the political
struggles of Pennsylvania, we cannot
recall single important contest in
which the speculative labor huckster
did not offer the votes Of his followers
to one or both parties for price and
many times bo has sold them to both
sides without delivery to either. We
do not conjecture or take up outside
campaign rumors on this point but
we speak advlscdly when we say that
the labor political hucksters, generally
those most trusted by the
associations they profess to lead, ap.
pear in the political markctas regularly
as the chestnuts are ripcncd by the
autumn frosts. OF course, these state.
ments do not apply TO tho reputable
Trades Unions OF the cities, but TO a
few struggling organizations in the
cites and towns and the sworn associa.
tions in the mining regions.
There has not been q seriously con-
tested election in this State during the
last ten years, without one Or more
positive purchases Of mining labor or.
from their leaders, for
money, Offices, pardons, &c In most
cases both parties to the contract
cheated each other all that they could,
but some votes and some compensation
were always secured. Governor Geary
was member of the secret order that
was supposed to command the votes Of
associated labor, and he appointed Ia
Dor leaders, pardoned labor rioters, in
spircd hopes among industrial classcs

THE COST or COWARDICE

Ii is not pleasant discovery, al
though one that has been made in 700
many places during the past ten days,
that personal courage is not so com
mon an attribute as il should be. From
first TO last the lawless thieves and
roughs who have raised riot and an.
archy during the past week have been
met too often in the most oowardly
spirit, and in very few instances only
has brave man faced them, with re-
volyer in hand, and dared them to con.
tinue their workofdevastation and plum
der. In Martinsburg where tho dis
order first broke out, it does not appear
that there were any town authorities if
there were they were very careful not
to got within speaking distance of the
strikers. And when the feeble and in
efficient militia companies met the mob
they laid down their arms and capitu-
lated, not halfso much from sympathy
with their sufforings as from fear of
violence.
The case OF Pittsburgh was anomal-

tions of heroes whose energies were de.

ty to live to fight another day. 1t has
been sufficiently proved that the peo-
pie, believing that the corporation had
no soul, forget that it had eyes and
hands, and that it paid handsomely to
be protected in the enjoyment of its
rights. SO they sat quietly down and
watched the destruction of its proper.
ty, to be rudely aroused with notice
that upon them alone must fall the cost
of that Sundays amusement. And yet
one brave man might have aroused
them to a sence OF their duty as citi.
zens and their interests as property
owners and taxpayers. The Sheriff
went out and read the riot act. The
crowd jeered at il as at any little pop
gun. Did the Sheriff thereupon call

mon them right and left, command
them to join him in dispensing the mob ?
Not bit of il. llc put the riot act in
his pocket, went home and called upon
the Governor for troops, because there
was riot and internal violence that he
could not put down. And he had not
made the least attempt to put il down.
The troops came. What their recep-
ton was is only too well known, aud
General Pearson, safely concealed be.

card which ought to have been ad-
dressed ITO the mob" assuring them
that he has no hostility to them that
he did not order the troops to fire; in
short that he had disgraced the uni
form that he wore and the State that
commissioned him. When the Penn
sylvania troops were stoned as they
passed through Altoona, did the Mayor
summon force and say that, rs long
us he was Mayor Of Altoona, the
troops oi the State should pass over
the great highway OF the State unmo.
Tested? Certainly not. Tho city of
Altoona might as well never have had

force for all they did on the one day
that they should have worn their au.

Capital. In pleasant contrast TO thit
we have the Sheriff Of Pittsburgh, who
summoned his posse comitatus and said
the train should start if it took all then
lives, and it started. The Mayor ol
Dover showed spirit as brave and the
strikers quailed, and the Mayor Of our
own city, prompt TO recognize the ter
rible emergency, lost not a moment in
preparing TO meet, it, and by his own
personal example showed that mob
law could never expect to rule in Phila-
delphia.
Drill and discipline can hardly be
overestimated as an adjunct to physi.
cal courage Many soldier has been
carried up to the mouth OF battery
because the line moved in that direc-
ton, when, if he had consulted his own
voltion, be would have run the other
way. Nothing strikes terror to the
mob so much as the mechanical precis-
ion with which regular troops move.
With the militia they have the iamil-
iarity that breeds contempt. They
can hardly believe that these boys who
were out on Il target shooting the
other day, boys to whom soldering is
play, can really load with ball and
cartridge, and when the order comes
take aim and FIRE. Nor are they at
fault with their theory. 1t is new
thing to a militiaman to fire for the
purpose of killing he cannot divest
himself Of the idea of personal respon-
sibility, and he hesitates just as be
might if he were man to man with his
antagonist. Drill has taken all these
ideas away from the soldier He knows
that it is his first duty to obey orders,
and when the word "fire" comes, he
fires with as little compunction of con-
science as if on parade. Much Of the
creditable bearing Of our police during
the trying occasions Of Sunday and
Monday is due TO their organization,
and their prompt obedience to com,
mands gives evidence of a discipline
which may well inspire a feeling Of
confidence. A city would be indeed
in danger if the time of peril found its
guardians only pack of cowards.--
