THE lawlessness and murder at the Prick Coke works in Morewood, Pa. last week, seem to be directly due to the erton mercenary troops and swearing them in as deputy sheriffs. The em
 ploymcnt of private mercenaries is always lawless, whether it is under form of law or not. It Is a part of the feudal system of carrying on private war, and wherever resort is had to it bloolshed is almost certain to follow, for two req sons, either of which is sufficient to cause it-the eXasperation caused by the presence and threat of hired professional killers in private employment on the one hand, and on the other by the fact that only the most desperate and worth less characters will take service as pro- fesSional killers under the Pinkerton system. While this system is the direct cause it depends itself on the system of high tariff monopoly. The corporation for whose benefit the people are taxed import cheap labor, so as to realize the largest possible returns under the tariff laws. In campaigns they hire orators to proclaim from every stump that these laws are passed solely to make and keep wages high, and that their benefits are solely for the wage workers. When the campaign is over the orators are dis charged and the Pinkertons hired. In 1888 the air was full of the musical promises of the hired politician, but this is 1891, and the voice of monopoly now Is heard in the crack of the Win chester in the hands of the Pinkertons.

MR BLAINE absolutely refuses to be a candidate for the presidency in 1899. This is the statement of all his intimate friends. most of whom have tried to con vince him that he ought to be candi- date and are mournful over his decision not to be one. He declares to them that he is for Harrison and his decision leads them to believe that Harrison will be re- nominated. Mir Blaines friends now think that he made great mistake in .ot allowing himself to he nominated in 1888. They believe he could have been elected: now they do not expect 10 ever see him resident in the white house.

HIS TELL-TALE TEETH.

Complete Identification OF Henry L. Nor
cross rs the Dead Bomb Throwcr.
New YORK, Dec. 15.-Dr. Edward
Dunham made an examination of the
teeth and jaws of the dead dynamiter.
His description of them tallies exactly
with that given by DR.. Coggins,
of Boston, of the teeth of Henry
l.. Norcross. This makes the identiti-
cation of the bomb-tbrower as young
Norcross Il certainty The coroner re-
ports that the brain of the bomb
thrower is that of lunatic. The
brain weighed more than the average,
but was abnormally distorted.
The parents of Norcross identified
the head at the morgue Monday night.
Coroner Messemer had charge of the
Identification and accepted it as com
plete. The scenes during the time
that the parents were with the
dead were very affecting. The sor.
rowing mother knelt down on the
hard floor ut the hospital Office and laid
her head upon the forehead of her dead
son. She was about to kiss the fore
head when an attendant gently drew
her back. She became excited ant
said fcrcely: ~ wish had come here
alone. must kiss my boy."

BURNED TO DEATH.

Fatal Fire at Moose jaw, NIan.--Twenty
Buildings Burned-Three Persons Per-
ish.
WINNIPEG, Man, Dec. IA. Three lives
were lost in fire at Moose Jaw at 5 a.
m. Saturday. The fire started in the
Lorne hotel, and so rapidly did it spread
that the inmates of the Ontario house,
which was part of the same block,
narrowly escaped with their lives. In
the Lorne house the proprietor, Henry
Jacliman, his little girl, and a young
woman named Ruth McDougall were
overtaken by the flames and all per-
ished. Their charred remains were
found in the debris. Brakeman Nc
Micken and Mrs. .Jackman were fatally
injured while attempting to escape
The fire was not eXtinguished until
twenty buildings including the English
church, had been burned.

Further Evidence Makes the Identity of
Norcross as the Bomb-Thrower Com
plete. et tHf ttFt
New YORK, Dec. 14.-There is no
longer room to doubt that Henry l..
Norcross, the young Boston note
broker, was Russell Sage's assailant
Not only is Mr. Sheldon morally GER
tain that the head in the morgue is
that of young Norcross, but in the
young mans desk when his father un-
locked it at Boston he found a long let
ter in which the desperate intention of
the writer was fully committed to pa
per. This all-important fact when first
asserted was denied by the Norcross
family and friends, but it's truth was
affirmed from such quarter
that it can no longer be gainsaid.
The family, however refuse to allow
publication of this letter. Very likely
it may never be given to the public.
The letter was addressed to the young
mans mother. Overwhelmed by the
mass of evidence, MIR. and Mrs. Nor
cross both admit that there is no doubt
that the dead bomb-thrower and their
missing son are the same
1t is said that in the letter young
Norcross informed his mother that he
was going away Thursday on business;
that If successful he should return Sat
urday night, but If unsuccessful he
| might never re turn.

FIELD UNDER ARREST.
Grand Larceny Is the Chnrge-Gocs
Quietly with the Officers.

Grand Larceny Is the Chnrge-Gocs
Quietly with the Omccrs.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Edward M.
Field is in the tolls of the law. He
was arrested in a private insane asy-
lum near White Plains, N. Y, Monday
evening by three detectives and
brought to this city and locked up in
police headquarters. Field was taken
from the asylum on warrant which
charged him with grand larceny in
the first degree. The warrant had
been drawn up by District Attorney
Nicoll and had the signature of Judge
MARITIME, of the court of general ses-
sions. 1t charged Edward M. Field
with appropriating securities and col
lateral property of the firm of Field,
Lindley, Wiechers & Co. for his own
personal use.
From the orders given by the district
attorney it would seem that he placed
no credence in the story that Field was
80 insane as to be irresponsible for his
acts. When the detectives arrived at
the asylum at o'clock DR.. Granger
refused to deliver over his patient to
them. He finally consented, however,
and informed Field, who went with the
officers in closed carriage to the
depot, and was brought to this city. He
will be arraigned before Judge Mar
tine to-day.
District Attorney Nicoll gives the
following statement: I'm view of the
repeated charges made in the press
deemed it my duty to act without await
| ing a complaint TO be made by some o1
the parties interested and said to have
been defrauded. Mr.. Field may be in
sane; if he is it must be proved as de
fense to the indictment in the usual
way. No man ever charged with a
crime can avoid prosecution by being
committed to u private insane asylum.
