ford received a dispatch this morning an
nouncing the arrest of FIVE Socialists in San
Francisco, who endeavored to incite riot.
their object being to loot the residences of
prominent capitalists in that city, among
them those of Messrs. Stanford, Crocker
and Flood, on Mob Hill Il should hate
to heve mob destroy my residence" said
Stanford to your reporter, because it is
nice one and take great pride in it. When
Mrs. Stanford was in Europe she was fort
innate TO secure number of paintings by
the old masters, and some beautiful pieces
Of statuary. The house also contains a
great deal of valuable bric-a-brac, all of
which Mrs. Stanford is intending 10 present
to museums. OF course, if these people
should carry out their threats they would
have 10 lose them. The house contains
many ar1sles, the loss OF which no money
could replace. | sometimes think" con-
tinued the Senator that the rich of the
country are responsible, in great part for
the present unrest and dissatisfaction that
exists among the laboring classes Capital
lists do not seem to take the interest in their
employees that they should, and the labor
ing men, feeling this, are seduced by reck-
less and desperate Socialists into commit
ting acts of violence. This, of course,
makes the capitalist hesitate TO invest his
money i'll new enterprises, and the laboring
men suffer from lack of employment. At
heart the worklngmen are all right, but the
ignorant portion are led astray by idle ana
worthless men, whose whole aim in life
seems 10 be to ferment discord.'
