What is the nifference2

One of those things which some fellah
ought to fnd out" is what constitutes the
difference between Communism" and the
doings of the trades Unions" or labor
Associations" Some of those who are
very prominent in the latter are very care
ful to deny any connection with the former,
or any similarity of views and sentiments.
Yet if we may Judge Of their unions or
associations by what they do, rather than
by their professions. it is like splitting
hairs to show the distinctive differences
between the Communism which openly
faunts the red flag. and procluims its in
tention to destroy property and live as a
law unto themselves, and the like acts of
the Unions in interfering with laborers
who are willing to work for the wages they
are receiving, but are prevented from
doing so on account of intimidation and
violence.
A special from Carlinville, in this state,
under date of May 2, says;
The strikers from the coal mining re-
gions surrounding Bellcville came up In
large numbers last night to Staunton, a
mining town in the southern portion of this
county, and attempted to persuade the
miners to strike, Not being successful,
they drove the miners from the shafts and
set fire to them. The two largest shafts
in this part of the state were totally de-
stroyed The mob drove back the citi
zens who attempted to stay the progress
of the conhagration, Property to the
amount OF from $4,000 to $4,000 was
destroyed, and one hundred miners thrown
out of employment by this mob, calling
themselves socialists. Not content with
the nights work, they threatened to burn
the coal shafts at Mount Olive, few miles
from Stanton. The sheriff has been
called upon to protect property at thai
point. The greatest excitement exists
The people. with one accord, denoupce thi:
act as one we'll worthy of the Frenot
commune.
Now then, the point is this. What right
has any body Of men, in time of peace, t.
interfere with the business or occupations
Of other men and violently compel them t.
desist from their labor?
There can be but two things accomp
lished by such kind of interference, botl
Of which are unlawful as we'll as contrary
to individual volition, individual welfare,
and public policy.
The object is either to compel all labor
to combine and associate so that through
unity of purpose and strength of numbers
the Union can dictate terms to employers
or else by the destruction of property ant
intimidation of capital compel Employers Il
accede to such demands as the association
may chose 20 make. Neither of these
two things are defensible in law, nor arr
they equitable in principle, and 10 ar
economic view are as repugnant to thu
common sense Of mankind as the violence
and law,essness advocated by communists

Ridicule win Not Answer.

An attempt is made to diminish the.
force of the Florida confessions by cover
ing them with ridicule-and ridicule where
it is applicable and appropriate is very
powerful weapon. But to be effective,
ridicule must be based on logic. 1t is an
extravagant presentation of some truth
full phase of subject, But where ridicule
is wholly inappropriate, it becomes often
sive and shocking. Then it is weapon
which recoils on those who employ it.
There can be no ridicule Of death, OF
OF religion. No more can patriotism be
ridiculous, nor sincere penitence Ridicule
cannot be applied to imatters of so much
moment as the preservation of our free
institutions of government. The usurpa~
ton of the Office of president of the United
States cannot be maintained by an effort
to throw ridicule on those who expose the
fraud and confess to participation in the
crime. 1t is too serious an affair to be
drowned in ridicule. You cannot" once
remarked a statesmen. you cannot
ridicule the wounds which soldier has re-
ceived in defence of his country" Neither
can you take from the greatest of crimes
its color of guilt by ridiculing those who
would bring the guilt to light.
/
are men Of little consequence we are told.
In reply it may be said they were of
enough consequence to make Mr.. Hayes
president of the United States. If they
were of sufficient consequence to make
him president by fraud, we think they are
of sufficient consequence to put him out by
telling the truth, especially when they are
sustained by strong corroborative evidence.
| No question can arise of graver impor-
lance to this country than the question
whether we have in the Office of president
a man chosen by lawful votes or an i'm
poster; and it must be gravely met and
Iintelligently answered. 1t cannot be
ridiculed out of existence; and that point
may as we'll be understood on all sides at
once. The people demand an investiga-
ton which shall result in an official estab-
lishment of the whole truth. They care
less what the truth is than they do about
having it authoritatively made known
They care less who shall prove to be the
Ipresident elect than that the president
elect, whoever he may be, shall have the
office.
To attempt to dispose of this great ques
ton by ridicule is idle and shallow. There
is no point of view in which it can be made
a trivial matter. If the right to have q
Chief Magistrate of the peoples choosing
is not important, then nothing in public
affairs is important; and if this can be con
verted into ridicute, then the blood of rwt
wars has been ridiculously shed, aud oul
whole system of government is ridiculous
This is a conclusion to which the people
are not prepared to come-N. Y. Sun.
