be given. The police have a right to suppress
these people to -preven: the commission of
crime They have right TO quell all such dis
turbances, and the police and chief magistrate
OF the city did their duty and acted like men.
Men have the right to strike. They have the
right TO quit work if they please but if they go
one step further, and say that others have not
the right to work. they violate the law, and can
be punished. 1t is not only the principals that

well. He, or they, who stand idly by after hay
ing advised that violence be committed, may be
held equally to blame with the principals.
The Judge then dismissed the jury, who
