The atrocious attack of the rioters
upon the Chicago police sufficiently de-
termines the character Of the men en-
gagged in the outbreak, or at least inspir-
ing and directing its worst work. They
are Socialist apostles of dynamite and
destruction with no aim in view except
general havoc and indiscriminate slaugh-
ter. With no wrongs to redress, they
engage from motives Of sheer deprayity
iu a crusade against all recognized rights.
Two populous and wealthy cities have
been prevented from becoming a prey to
pillage and confagration, by the interpo-
sition of the strong arm of the law. There
is still danger Of %ruinous results, but the
city authorities of Chicago, at least, have
shown themselves as fully equal to the
emergency as it is in the nature Of things
to expect. A strong force of military is
held in readiness, both in that city and in
Milwaukee to reinforce or to co operate
with the police. Issue has been joined
between the wretches who have resorted
to dynamite and the social order which
they attack, and it should be thoroughly
determined. TIE use Of unnecessary
force against an excited and unthinking
mob, is to be deplored under ordinary
circumstances, but in the present iuncture
no force that produces the desired effect
- l. l..-.uI .~.a.asrn and that aHaef
is the complete suppression OF all attempt
to resist the law. Dynamiters and in
cendiarists taken in the act should be shot
as remorselessly rs wild beasts. Only ex-
trcme measures will meet extreme occa-
sions, and prompt and severe treatment
may prevent much evil hereafter. Len
iency would be misunderstood; it is the
nature Of sayages to attribute all modera-
ton to fear. There does not seem to be
any widespread conspiracy or organization
dangerous in point of numbers, but the
reckless measures they are ready to adopt
make these desperate agitators more for
midable thar any who have ever preceded
them. Their transient success would be hor
rible to contemplate. and ought at all haz
ards to be prevented. Unless such r~evolt.is
speedily suppressed the damage done may
be irreparable, and the work becomes more
difficult with delay. There is little reason
to apprehend from the mass of men en-
gagged in the strikes n practical sym
pathy with an anarchy which would in
volve all classes in a common ruin. Men
with homes and families, with anything
whatever, either Of property or Of charac-
ter, to lose will give a willing support to
the cause Of law, and despite an honest
belief in their grievances, must regret the
opportunities which the labor troubles
have afforded for rioting and crime.

ANA1uaAL BORN sroay-rELlEa.


RONelfst itbOo ttnrs Hence
"A lady Of Philadelphia" makes the
somewhat startling and novel suggestion
that ~the great American novelist who
is always coming" may prove after ne
has got here to be of African descent.
The great American novel" she urges
in Lippincott's Magazine, will not be
written by the typical American Of the
present day, the merely Europeanized
American, or Yankee" but by the
American who is to replace the yam
keer-a new combination OF the many
nationalities that the country has alb
sorbed; SO the African might as well UNI
dertake the task OF writing the novel as
anybody else.
For it. she argues, he is particularly
well qualified. He has given the coun-
try its only national original music-all
else is a growth from Handel and Bee
thoven. The peculiar swing and rhythm
Of the Africans melody-not the "Old
Folks at Home and other minstrel
songs, but the weird and original music
Of the slave-is distinctive. There is
nothing like it in musical history.
The African, too, is a natural born
GtOry-ttller. lie Is equdl 70 D-oop III MS
fables. and has far more humor. He hits
at folly around him and his victim laughs
as well as he. His lies, too, are told, not
for the sake of gaining him any advan-
tage, but for the enjoyment of devising
them and working them up.
The African delights in this exercise
Of the imagination, and does not care if
he is detected; he is simply an actor per-
forming for the pleasure of his audience.
"If you think him in earnest, he is
proved a good player" He has, too, one
example Of what he may achieve as a
dramatic writer or writer of fiction.
Dumas, though not full blooded, wa
well tinctured with African descent, and
Dumas stands next TO Victor Hugo in
French imaginative literature.
The poets, the dramatists, the novel
lists, the painters and the sculptors Of
America 900 or even 500 years hence,
are as difficult to conjecture as it was for
Caesar in his invasion of Britain to have
dreamed of n Shakespeare or a Dickens,
or for Aristides to have dreamed Of a
Victor Hugo or Michael Angelo. In the
many possibilities the African has his
fair share. Detroit Free Press.

EVERY legislative body in the country
should at the int opportunity enact care.
full restrictions against the manufacture
aud sale of dynamite, and make crime
committed or attempted by means Of that
destructive agency punishable with death.
Few statute books will be found to con
tain any enactment meeting the case, and
such omission should be speedily sup
piled. When vitriol throwing first came
in vogue a similar defect was corrected by
nearly all the states, with good effect.

STATISTICS show the amount of wages
forfeited by the strikes of 1850 to have
been $4,000 900. That is, if the work
ingmen had remained in employment at
the rate received before the trouble be-
gan, their wages would have amounted to
that sum. Striking is like war-a game
at which the victor loses and the yan-
pushed is lost.

AFTER peace shall have been fully re.

earnestly given to seeking a

brought about the crisis. Wise
state legislation, impartial as between
capital and labor, should recognize the
rights of both, accord privileges to neither,
and maintain inviolate the supreme law OF
public safety.
