The loss of life and damage to property
already inflicted by the outbreak of civil
war at Homestead, with reported threats
of further destruction, renders it pertinent
to remind the people at large that all
losses resulting from such disorders will
fall on them.
There is disposition among the ex-
cited and ignorant to regard the destruc-
ton of property of obnoxious employers
as an act of revenge. Yet it is we'll known
that whatever loss is inflicted by the fail
ure of law to protect life and property
will fall on the taxpayers and through
them on the masses. The county of
Allegheny has been paying for the losses
from the riots of 1877 for the past fifteen
years; and that recollection should re-
strain wild and incendiary action now
While the pecuniary loss is slight mat
ter by the side of the destruction of life,
the defiance of all law by one side and the
failure to rely exclusively on it on the
other, it is well to bear in mind that all
damage caused by such outbreaks falls on
the people. By uniting to insist on the
preservation of order, the people will not
only save themselves money, but they will

The Authorities of Allegheny Upheld in
Their Summary Attitude.
Washington Post.l
The authorities in Allegheny were wise in
interdicting the speech which John Most had
been advertised to give in that city Sunday
afternoon. He was not wanted there, he
had no business to be there. Tt is not his
fight. He is not known to be even q work.
jngman. His purpose in visiting Pittsburg
could only have been mischievous. Free
speech is not to be tolerated when it is spok-
en- with evil design.
1t is not at all probable that Most would
be able to WELD any influence over the we'll
organized, intelligent wage-earners Of West
ern Pennsylvania. They have laid out their
own programme in the present controversy
and desire outside Instructions. But in
all large manufacturing cities there Is an
illiterate and unreasoning element, which
under existing conditions might be inflamed
to acts of laWlessness by an anarchistic
it is we'll to close the mouths of vagrant
incendiaries whose only object is to precip-
tate an uprising against the authorities. re-
gardless OF the consequences to themselves,
who have nothing to lose, and blind to the
interests of those who rely upon lawful
methods for the attainment of their ends.
American labor needs no such counselors
as John Most. He has no genuine SYM
pathies with labor born of his own personal
experience. He knows nothing OF the situa-
tion with which he seeks to intermeddle
and the workingmen or Allegheny will have
no fault to find with the summary disposi-
tion Of an imported agitator. whose presence
they did not invite, and whose election from
the neighborhood they will heartily
approve.

THE GOVERNORS STAND.

One of the peculiar features of the situa-
ton yesterday was the wide difference OF
opinion developed between Sheriff Nc
Cleary, who was on the ground, and Gov
ernor Pattison, who viewed the state OF
affairs from a considerable distance, as to
the necessity for calling on the military
forces of the State to restore the su-
premacy of the law. The Sheriff reported
that the civil authority was unable to
meet the situation, when his first force OF
twelve deputies had been driven out OF
Homestead. The Governor asserted in
reply-and when the disorders had pro-
ceeded TO absolute bloodshed-that this was
not an adequate exertion of the civil au-
thority, and more must be done before he
would call out the troops.
This stand is hardly complete unless the
Governor states what exertion of force is
necessary by the Sheriff after his officers
in any number have been defed and driven
from the scene by thousands of armed and
belligerent men. The Governor is correct
in the opinion that the military arm should
not be resorted to until civil authority
fails; but it is difficult to see how there
could be more complete demonstration
of inadequacy of civil power than was
presented all day yesterday-unless it is
deemed necessary that some of the posse
shall lose their lives, as proof that they
cannot cope with the difficulty.
The Governor assumed very serious
responsibility in failing to put into opera
ton promptly all agencies for restoring
order. The press comments, without re-
gard to party, are severely critical of his
attitude.

CONFERENCE VS.. CONFLICT.

While the situation at Homestead has
reached deplorable and tragic stage Of
lawless conflict, it is satisfactory to OBJ
serve that the appeal to violence does
not govern the issue between employers
and employed in the other mills. The
best evidence of this is the satisfactory
conference held between the manufact-
urers and the Amalgamated Committee
yesterday.
While it is too soon to predict tangible
results from this meeting the fact of the
meeting itself stands out in agreeable
contrast to the warfare and bloodshed
up the river. In one case the wages ques-
ton is held under reasonable and friendly
debate. In the other the resort is to
weapons of actual warfare, and the
destruction of law. 1t is not difficult to
indicate which is the most hopeful way to
solve the question, and it is not unpleasant
to note that the conflict is distinctly con-
fined to the Homestead works.
1t is to be hoped that the warning of the
lengths to which the policy of conflict
may go will inspire both sides in the con-
ference with the determination to use all
means to attain reasonable and salts

QUEER ANTI-FORCE-BILL PLEAS.

The esteemed New York San, in its eff
fort to season the free-trade crow with
force bill sauce, so as to be able to swal-
low it, finds it necessary to denounce the
Charleston Neoos and Courier as "a traitor
to the South" The treason of the Southern
journal consists in asserting that the issue
in this campaign is not the force bill but
free trade, in which it is undoubtedly cor
rect In its vigorous efforts to discredit
the Southern Democratic organ, the Sun
brings out two points, which would in
trude themselves rather strongly into the
campaign, if the so-called force bill really
were what the two parties are fighting
over.
The first is in connection with its accu-
sation that the Neaos and Courier is ignor.
ing the issue in which its own State is
most interested "The white population
of North Carolina, by the census Of 1890,
was 45s, 1922" says the Sun "The colored
population was 692, 2,503 More than go
per cent of the inhabitants of the State
are negroes" "Yet," the Sun adds, "we
find this traitor newspaper of Charleston
addressing the people of South Carolina,
that the issue of negro domination
is of little importance to them in COM
parison with the question of the
size of customs duties.'' Now what
does this mean, if it means anything
at all? The fact that the negroes are in
majority is insisted upon as vital; and the
fact that measure designed to secure to
that class an untrammeled vote means ne
gro domination is connected with it. Is
there any other significance to it than that
opposition to the force bill means opposi-
ton to the rule of the majority in the
South?
Not content with this point the Satn
adds to it by quoting from letters of
twenty years ago, to show that the editor
of the Charleston Neaos was secretly in
the pay of the corrupt ring that ruled the
State under the carpet regime. If
this proves the corruption of the present
editorial control of the Charleston Neaos
and Courier 1T also carries an inference of
corruption among the present white rul-
ers of South Carolina as well as under the
much-dreaded negro domination. If that
is so why will it be any worse to have
South Carolina ruled by a corrupt majority
than by corrupt minority?
THE DISPATCH opposed the Federal
elections bill for reasons which were
amply stated when it was a live issue.
But if the San keeps on opposing it with
such arguments it may succeed in con-
vincing the people of the North that there
is some virtue in the measure.
