Reasonable Socialists.
Tho United States grand Jury at Seattle
Wash. Ter, has found indictments against
ten leaders OF the recent nti-Chinese riots
in that city. The iurys report is a most
extraordinary document. 1t alleges that
evidences has been laid before the grand
Jury sufficient to convince them that there
exists throughout the country q treason
able organization known as the Red
American International Workingmen's as
sociation." Among other things the re-
port says:
This association, with all its branches, is
essentially anarchical in theory and prac-
tice. The main articles OF it's creed are ar.
son, robbery and murder. It's proclaimed
purpose il the overthrow Of our govern
ment and the erection upon it's ruins OF a
so-called socialist commonwealth. The
policy pursued by this association is to
secure control OF all labor organizations,
and particularly OF the Knights OF Labor;
to see to it that the officers OF all labor Or
carnations are chosen from the scientific
socialists; to employ every means to pro-
duce discomfort among the people, and to
stir up on all occasions and at all times
as much strife and agitation as pos
sible. More than year ago the
Pacific coast was selected as the most Ia
vorable ground on which to start II move
ment for the snbversion of the government.
Last fall branches of this organization were
established at Seattle. Tacoma. Olympia
and other points on Puget sound. Agita-
ton OF the Chinese question was to be
made at once the pretext and cover Tor the
reasonable operations OF the band oil
scientific socialists. The labor organiza-
tions were, although unknown to the main
body of the members. systematically
worked to promote the reasonable OBJ
jects and purposes of the scientific social
lists. All the disturbances and outrages on
Puget sound for the last six months, arising
nominally from the agitation ofthe Chinese
question, were really fomented by this in
famous association. whose real aims ana
designs have been studiously kept from the
knowledge OF the real workingmen OF labor
ORGANIZATIONS. The scientific socialists oil
the Red American international Working
mems association are, as shown by unmis-
taxable evidence before us, secretly in
structing their deluded, ignorant and bru-
talized followers in the means ALPHABETICALLY
applying dynamite; how to seize armorles
and military stores; to prevent the depart
ure OF troops from concentrating points;
how to preserve order in centers OF insur-
rections; how to imprison and destroy men
OF property and influence. To accomplish
this end, this association instructs it's
members to be particularly active in labor
organizations. This red-handed body OF
assassns assembled on our portion OF the
Union as the first point OF attack. They
say in their society circulars: 1.-The Pacific
coast particularly, by reason OF it's pecul-
lar population, It's natural wealth, it's
position, is such that few determ ined
men could isolate it from the balance Of
the world for months Of time and the agita-
tion already started over it's whole area is
peculiarly fitted to be the first to lead of
in the active work when the time for that
work shall come"
Catholic Doctrine of Capital and Labor.
The pastoral letter Of the archbishopa
and the bishops Of the Catholic provinces,
Of Milwaukee, assembled in the first pro-
vincial council, to the laity of their charge
has been made public. On the subject ofcap-
ital and labor the letter says:
We have indeed q sacred duty to fulfill
toward our fellow citizens. Mere human
wisdom will ever prove unable to solve
permanently and satisfactorily the social
problems which on all sides are crowding
in upon us. The church OF God alone with
unerring, because divinely assisted, judg-
ment can guide society through the laby.
rinths OF passion and selfishncss into the
serene regions OF Justice and charity. The
question of capital and labor is the old
difference emphasized in the Gospel be-
tween the rich and the poor. "Woe to the
rich and blessed are the poor" are max
inns established by the divine Judge.
When capitalists follow the heather rule
to buy labor in the cheapest market, God
is not with them; and when laborers i'm
agine that all men should have an equal
share in the comforts and enioyments OF
this earthly life, Divine providence has
ruled otherwise. Industry and sobirety
have always proved more profitable to hui
man nature and to society than wealth
and extravagance To commit injustice is
always an evil; to suffer it may he turned
into q blessing. Retaliation is never allow
ed, but the church has during the middle
ages united the workingmen into guilds,
and the misery which they endure now was
unknown before the sixteenth century.
