s.Had News,

To the Editor OF the Globe;
This is the cry as the extras are thrown
in Upon us, to-day: i do not concur in that
view of the East st. Louis riot so fully as
do others. When the bombardment of Fort
Sumter thrilled and awakened the nation;
when Paul Revere rode at midnight through
the quiet streets of Concord and its sister
villages and awoke them to life, il was not
so bad as torpor of feeling and the appeals
TO self-interest would have made those
memorable events. So now, if this mad
outbreak. combined with the stupid con-
duct of cowardly deputies, shall rise up this
nation to a sense of the quaking dangers Of
this present epoch, we may hereafter call
this massacre and the subsequent burning
a grand event. The one great dam
ger is the devotion of this people to busl-
ness as the means of making fortunes or Of
keeping heads above water. The ''prscti-

RESPECT THE LAW.
Minneapolis Correspondent says
This Applies Not TO Labor Alone.


This Applies Not 10 Labor Alone.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The above caption in these DAYS of bitter
CONTROVERSY between capital and labor.
seemingly has but a limited application.
III the employe OF these rich and grinding
railroad monopolies puts his foot upon
their ill-gOtten property in behalf of
starving and distracted family, we hear the
cry az once from a thousand Threats aud a
suoorned press, Respect the law!" But we
have yet 10 learn of a law that is respected
by railroads that Is not especially enacted in
their own interests. And where Is the man
or community that has the nelve or means
TO attempt the enforcement of violated law
by sharks and land pirates? They have cut
in twain and ruined the best farms in the
country. They have dug up our streets
and torn down the houses from over our
heads. They have invaded our burying-
grounds and carted away the bones of the
sleeping dead. They run their trains
through our cities regardless of the law of
God or man. They disregard private and
individual interests. They combine against
states and communities, and in many in
stances they have actually forced the gov
eminent 10 accept a second mortgage, in lieu
of the first for money honestly loaned.
and in fact their whole stock in trade con-
sists of fraud and wholesale robbery. If
one of our citizens is elected TO the legisla-
ture railroad pass is Immediately slipped
into his hand and emphasized with wink
and nudge. They buy and sell our ma
tiOnal Legislators like sheep in the SHAMELESS,
while our judges stand with OutStretched
hands TO receive their golden bribe.
To all such, as well as the strikers. we
say respect the law. And now these bloated
and human leecheS, with their ill-gotten
and accumulated wealth, with the aid of
cannon and bayOnet, are pitted against the
noble order OF the Knights of Labor. But
the principles of this order are stamped
with honor and immortalitality. And when
the poisonous serpent and the deadly cocka-
trice refuse to crawl over the unhallowed
graves of Vanderbilt and Gould. these pTin-
cipleS will shine forth among the stars in the
armament of heaven. And as their mis-
cradle carcaSseS shall have mOuldered and
crumbled back and put Mother Earth TO
sham, the order. as now, will ever prosper
and flourish. and centuries hence, if through
some irregularity in Natures law, the
heavens should attempt TO fall the glorious
order of the Knights OF Labor, with holy
hands, will stay and prop them up.

committees to report back to the union full
particulars as to the effort which has been
determined upon TO reduce the hours of la

has come from the contracting painters.

MINNEAPOLIS RED-HOTs.

Less than 1900 votes last Tuesday CON-
pletely changed the political complexion of
the city government, and gave the Demo-
cratic candidate for mayor q majority of over
5000. This sweeping change has been gen.
orally attributed 10 the influence OF the
"dinner-pail brigade" If this assumption is
correct, and very likely it is. the politicians
may very probably take the lesson to them
selves.
They should understand that TO win the
workingmau's vote that a dress parade of
sympathy FOR labor just before election is not
sufficient. They must do something or say
something that looks sincere. The Republic
can convention was controlled by four law
yers. one of whom presided as chairman. and
the other three made about all the speeches
aud motions. During the campaign the
speeches for the conventions candidate were
made by lawyers. They proclaimed them
selves 10 be firm friends of labor but the
suspicion grew that they were principally
friends to themselves
-
One Of these lawyers, who has been partic-
ularly active in changing the lien law so that
a mechanic cannot get mis- pay from a dis
honest employer, was especially certain that
he voiced the sentiment of the intelligent
workinRmen of the city" Another lawyer
in the convention pledged the vote of the
workingmen TO a candidate whose solution of
stop drinking poor whisky and go to work. d"
So
This candidate was a member OF q great
milling firm which employs a good many
men. and il is claimed treats them gener-
ously. Still because this man was a large
employer of labor, the lawyer orators took
the ground that he was necessarily friend
or labor. This raises the inquiry: Does il
follow that because man employs a number
of other men 10 make money for him and
does not rob them, that he is necessarily a
friend OF the movement TO better the condi-
tion of the workingmenE
-
On the other hand, the candidate who was
elected was a doctor, and, therefore, not an
employer. He was a man, however, who by
voice and action had consistently advocated
the cause of labor at times when IL was not
as popular as il is nowadays. He had been
mayor twice before, and his official acts had
been in keeping with his utterances.
-
This is the situation, and the question was
asked which Is the friend, the true friend of
labor? The people evidently thought the
doctor was. and voted accordingly. Judging
from present indications, no mistake has
been made.

SeYenty.FiYe Shocks.

LAURENs, November l0.-To.day
your correspondent was informed of o
remarkable phenomenon in town, and
was specially invited to visit the place Of
its occurrence. The residence of Mr.. A.
W. Anderson began to shake at about 8
O'Clock last Sunday evening, and contin-
ued at short intervals until 6 o'clock.
Monday the shocks came at the same
hour aud continued about three hours.
Yesterday Tuesday, the quakes began at
8 and continued, as on the preceding
da7s, until 6. To-day it was quite gen
orally talked of, and two or three hun.
dred persons visited the house during the
afternoon. The shocks began ut 1.3O and
continued until 6.l0.
Your correspondent visited the house
this evening at $50 and remained about
fifteen minutes, during which. time at
least a dozen shakes occurred, six of
which were stronger than any he has
ever felt, except the first one, August 81.
The Rev. Jno. D. Pitts, the Rev. q. O..
Frierson and Mr.. S. R. Todd were at
the house when your correspondent went
in. They all, as we'll as many oehels
who came and went, expressed them
selves as being satisfied that the shakes
we're genuine earthquakes. Mr.. Pitts,
who had spent about two hours in the
house, said that there had been at least
seventy five quakes, not counting slight
tremOrs.
No one has offered any explanations.
There are houses within one hundred
yards, and nothing of the kind has been
felt. I saw Mr.. T. F. Simpson, who
lives next door to Mr.. Anderson, and he
says that no quakes have been felt at his
house, except such as were felt through
out the town. Our people cannot under.
stand this matter. We would be pleased
to hear from any who may have theories

edge. The exchange of experiences and
the rehearsal of failures and successes at
these meetings will 60 far to excite
inquiry and stimulate thought. Fairs
and stock shows, begetting emulation and
8 desire to surpass other exhibitors, will
follow, and instead of the present stagna-
ton and gloom live current of healthy
thought will soon be coursing through
the minds of the people and energizing
their every act.
But this healthy seeking after light,
this progressive spirit, under existing
conditions, must be stimulated by extra.

these agricultural societies alive and up
