you kept back by fraud, crieth and tn
cries of them which have reaped are en-
tered into the cars of the Lord of Sabaoth
S Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth
and been wapton; ye have Dourished you

6. Ye have condemned and killsd th
just and he doth not resist you.

the Judge staudeth before the door.
10 Take, my brethren, the prophets,
who have spoken in the name of the Lord,
for an example of suffering sffliction and
of patience.
IL. Behold, we count them happy which

Job, ara have seen the end of the Lord

mercy.

The conclusion of his address on this
occasion is as follows:
sin conclusion, my fellow w-workingmen,
I offer this sentiment:
"Awakel arise our work begins anew,
Wen do it With our bullets if our ballots they do fall
steamship and by rail-"
"This sentiment, }" say 8 the Pilot" was in
terrupted with outbursts of applause, the
line ''We'll do it with our bniIets. If our
the most violent and prolonged demonstra-
tion of appreciation on the part of Mr..
Kearney's auditors"
From the editorials in last weeks Pilot
We take these extracts:
We waited and listened before we made
up our minds about Dennis Kearney. We
We proposed to judge him not by what
others said, but by his own words.
Il must be admitted that since Dennis
Kearney came East he has not brought
forward a single idea for the consideration
of intelligent men. spool your issues,n
he cries in every speech but he does not
attempt to define or propose what the
issues shall be. Capture the State" he
shouts; bat he gives no suggestion of
policy when the State is "csptured." We
are not of those who oppose and contemn
a workiDgman who assumes to be leader.
We welcome him as healthy sign of
democracy. But wOrkingmen like other
men must proceed according to civilized
methods. A union of men, utterly without
q policy, except the desire of "capturing |
State" SO es to control it's official power,
would be a dangerous and uncivilized |
factor. The workiDgmen of this country
Eeed wise leaders. There are half score !
of burning questions for their considera-
tion and action. Has Dennis Kearney any |
message to deliver on any of these su bjectsR |
The workiugmen are all divided on their |
Issues. In another column we give fifty |
or sixty remedies proposed by working. |
men to the Hewitt Committee, ranging all |
erty to the abolition of money and govern
ment. On which of these, or on what else |
are the workingmen to agree7
Dennis Kearney's repeated allusions to
"bullets, If ballots fail" lie crass ignorance
and defiance of democratic principles.
There is no danger of ballots failing. If
the wOrkingmen of this country have in
telligence enough to be united-fOr it takes
intelligent and practical ideas to unite
men-they are sure to succeed, for they
have the majority ln numbers. To talk of
"bulleJs" simply proves that the intelIi-
gence to unite is absent, and this is to libel
the wOrkingmen.
