"A week or two ago the Secretary of the Treas
ury appointed Samuel Strong, an old resident of
the District, inspector of materials for public
buildings. Strong was sent South and after he
had gone the secretary's attention was called to
the fact that he (Strong) had held similar posi-
ton under Fillmore's administration and that he
had then been guilty of malfeasance in Office
The Secretary at once wrote to Strong revoking
his commission and there is now vacancy in that
Office.

ruAr the labor troubles in Chicago

That the labor troubles in Chicago
have terminated in bloodshed was to be
surmised Perhaps. however, it is in
correct to use the word labor in con-
nection with the present riots. There
were few if any laborers in the dastardly
mob who congregated under the red flag
of socialism. 1t was composed rather of
the scum and oifsprings Of the great city.
most of them Bohemians and Poles with
unpronoanceable names, who in. their
own country would be quickly clapped
into the common jail did they dare to
even threaten the outrages they commit
with apparent immunity in this country.
The rifle and the rope is the only ar
gument that will convince these fellows.
The continued presence of these anarch>
lists, thugs, blood tubs and outlaws is as
much menace to workingmen as to
property holders. AS we said before
they are not laborers They are not to
be COMPOUNDED with the strikers, as they
never held permanent situation and
never do days work If they can avoid
it. They merely seize on the present
strike fever AS pre,ext to enter upon
war against society.
1t is to the great credit of the mass oi
the workingmen of Chicago, represented
by the Trades assembly, that they have
set their face against the devil OF anarchy
and all his works, and have ranged them
selves in favor of the law of American
progress.
The stars aud stripes is good enough
banner for any American citizen to fol
low. The bloodred flag of destruction
is the emblem of everything that should
be avoided. The red flag should be boy
cotted
