II dozen wretches, instead of one, had
been armed with the dreadful missiles
which carried death and destruction To
so many faithful guardians of the law,
there would have been slaughter most
horrible, but as IL was, the destruction
wrought stimulated the police, who saw
their comrades falling by their side, TO
prompt aud decisive action and speedy
termination Of the conflict, while IL
opened the eyes OF the public TO fact
which has for years been regarded with
almost criminal Indifference Years ago,
long before the Cincinnati riots took
place, the danger was pointed out and the
/ people were told Of the cancer which was
/ gradually forming in their midst, but
without avail or heed Now they have
awakened, but to what2 To the fact that
the principles Of a republican, free govern

before the entire world, by a Jury to de-.
eide wheth, T the principles of self-goyern-
ment by the people is a correct one.
| We have had riots before, but they
have, as general thing, been regarded
lhdfferently by the public, because as
| long as the sociallstic aud criminal ele-
ments were kept out, II was held that the
good sense Of the American mind, the
teachings Of fair press, the method OF
arbitration, and the superiority OF mind
over matter aud brute force, would bring
! about settlement OF the difficulties
without resource to the force OF arms.

this mass is led by desperate, cunning
demagogues who thoroughly understand
the material with which they are dealing,
aud use it for their own base PURPOSES
There was time when the appearance
OF Pole ia our midst only awakened
visions OF Thaddeus OF Wa saw, Pulaski
or kosclusko, when every Il ugarlan was
regarded according to the standard OF
kossuth, an Italian as a romantic being
with melodlous voice, Russian
as prosecuted victim Of unrelent-
ing tyranny with Siberia staring him in
the face, when the phlegm tic German
grew lat and prospered in tilling the soil
aud manning our factories with his in
dustry and Skill aud when the irish nc

and kissing the next. The latter especially
TOOK an interest in the country and rose
TO political minence.
These days have passed, however, and |
now the Bohemian, a race most ignorant
anu clannlsh OF all, has been added 10 the
conglomeration of Caucasians, Mongo
mans ana Africans, and now forms a most
prominent ingredient of the mob of the
Perlod--a people who neither try to speak
our language nor understau ID our institu
lions and laws, who regard license as
liberty, and, led by scoundrels of the
Herr Most type, their presence is a CON
slant menace TO the principles on which
our society rests.
They now form the advance puard the
''nrst drafp' Of the riotous element and
they have done powerful sight of mis-.
ehiel already. Boycottiug amongst them

ana whlle the recent prompt action of the
New YORK grand jury has taken off the

nevertheless be remem cred that the
principle exists and is fostered In the
