THE CHICAGO RIOTS.

Inc NASHVILLE Union, IN an eult0-
rial touching the above topic, says:
"The murderers, who set up that
they should be allowed to assemble
and openly, under the right of free
speech, advocate and urge their hell
ish doctrines of communism, thereby
bringing the necessary fruits-mur-
der and the Destruction of property
must be punished. There ought to
be large hanging, and nothing has
been more gratifying than the bold
and courageous stand taken by the
Chicago Times for speedily trying
and hanging these criminals. They
ought to be hanged on general printi-
pies. For set of red-handed cut
Threats, who came to this country
upon an invitation to flee from OPP
preston, and when they got here, in
a land of liberty, where they at once
had all the rights of the people who
invited them, and are put on footing
with the best people of the land, hav-
ing, an even race with everybody else,
to turn in an organized body on the
people who invited them-refusing
to work themselves, but proposing to
take what other people had worked
for and divide it out, and in the at
tempt, to destroy many lives-noth-

country has not sufficient self-protect-

this murderous mob it will greatly
impair confidence in our government.
The entire American press ought to
stand by the Chicago journals and
public opinion ought to back up the
courts, and these murderers ought to
be hanged in the shortest possible
time"
In the interest of the country at
large we concur in the Unions re-
marks, but we have no sympathy
whatever for Chicago. The press Of
Chicago has been entirely too dilato-
ry in taking its "bold and courageous
stand" 1t should have been done
months ago. Chicago has nurtured
and cherished these socialistic vipers
of communism for years, and is now
reaping the fruits of allowing them
too broad a construction of the free.

and people will stand by them in the

AMONG the resolutions adopted by
the Warren County Democracy we
find this:
"ResolCed, That offices were created
for the public good, and, therefore,
no man should be elected or appoint
ed as a personal favor"
This may or may not apply to the
old Supreme bench. We understand
some of them are basing their claims
upon the ground that they could not
make a living if they fail of re-elec-
ton. If this be their best card, we
don't think it would be "for the pub
lie good" to retain them in Office. If,
after sixteen years of service on good
salaries they are not able to paddle
their own canoes, the State is under
no obligation to clog its highest court
with them as a personal favor. The
public welfare demands a speedy
cleaning up Of the Supreme Court
docket, and the men composing the
present bench have demonstrated
their inability to do this, consequent
ly the "public good" will be best
subserved by placing younger, more
active and more vigorous men on the
bench. We have no wish or interest
in the matter save to promote the
best interests of the people of the
State, and we believe a good deal of
sweeping, if not a clean sweep, is
necessary to this end.

WE reproduce from the Franklin
County News this week, card from
Col. John H. Savage, in reply to an
unfriendly criticism which appeared
in that paper. 1t is well known here
that Col. Savage was in no sense a
candidate for the Senatorial appoint
ment. The News makes the correc-
ton in a cordial manner, which
shows that the editors have no desire
to do an injustice to Col. Savage, who,
together with the people of Warren,
have heretofore always heartily sup
ported Franklin County men for the
highest offices, some of the men may
have forgotten these little matters Of
history.

cents ton was ordered in the Erie coal
district on Tuesday morning. The in
formant says, II do not tt ink it will be
accepted )" but up to going to press moth
ing further has been learned. 1t is more
than likely that there will be another
strike at Erie, as 20 cent reduction
is more than the miners are likely to
peacefully submit to; and the. reduction
was made without any previous notice.
The spring season is bad time for
the Colorado coal miners to strike (ano
the bosses know it), and The ENQUIRER

the ground over before deciding what to
do, and when thev do decide to be pre-
pared to fight for their rights.

look beyond the narrow limits in which
you have been skirmishing 80 long. Will
you not soon begin to see that you must

system that binds you? The coal in the

we must educate them to demand tnat

their holds and that the internal wage
system be completely abolished. Bat if

against this reduction, may success

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, March 3.-There is
much excitement here, caused by the
action of the East street Champion
reaper works last night. 1t was the sud.
den and wholesale discharge of several
hundred employees who are known to be-
long to the Knights'of Labor or other
trades union organizations. Mr.. Whitley
the president of the company says; I'VE
we're compelled to take this course in the
cause of human liberty. So far as we
have observed the operations of this Or
ganization in other cities, it has been
one of terror. intimidation and violence,
and it seems to be a question whether
our factory shall have all or none of its
employees who are members of this. or
ganization. We prefer to have all our
men independent of all organizations,
and we believe such course will be for
the good of the community"
They are advertising for men to fill
the places of the discharged workmen.

of the street car lines of those cities
have struck for So a day and twelve
hours, and all travel on many of the
prominent streets has been suspended
