Aou estlOn of Law and Not of Labor.

AOu estIon of Law and Not of Labor.
From the New York Tribune.
remarkable change in public OPT niOn
has come since the Homestead strike began.
It is plainly reflected BY the Governor OF
Pennsylvania, who declared, when a doctor
urged him to remove the troops because the
town was orderly: " The state Of Pennsyl-
yanis has 100000 in its treasury. 1 viii
be justified in spending every cent OF il, and
in mOrtgaging the Stale itself TO maintain
the National Guard here unit law and or
der are restored" A few days Of contact
with the actual facts az HOMESTEAD have
made the Governor speak thus strongly.
His officers, staff and military, who have
seen the attempt to set up kind OF govern
ment unknown 10 the laws Of Pennsylya-
MIA, and in denial Of the rights guaranteed
by the State, openly declare the performance
reasonable, and insist that the rights Of ey-
cry individual under the laws of the State
must be respected, and the laws strictly en-
forced and obeyed before the military can
be withdrawn.
This does not lessen the right Of strikers
TO reject a scale proposed by the steel COM
pany. It does not call in question their
right 10 establish and maintain a labor or
gsnization for their mutual aid. The resort
10 violence and blOodshed, in excluding
either new men OF guards hired by the CON-
pany. was a violation Of law. The spirit
which upholds il is one OF resistance to the
law, which the authorities Of the State can
not suffer to go unrebuked Burgess Nc
Lackie and leader O'D5nneu, OF the Advis-
ory Committee, both affirm that they ear
nestly lyised the strikers to do no violence
and tried TO arrest the not, and it would be
well II the Amalgamated Association as
body would make It clear that it had taken
the same attitude But the fact stands tia.
there was lawless outbreak which nobody
did restrain, and that If troops were away
men wishing 70 work in the Homestead
mills would not be safe single hour. Or
ders depriving individuals Of their legal
rights and liberty have been issued By the
Advisory COMMITTEES, which the authorities
Of the State cannot fail 10 treat as unlawful.
1t is against unlawful acts, aud not against
the strike or the organization Of labor. that
the power Of the State IS properly exercised.
The distinction is one which all Iaw-respect-
ing workingmen viii quickly perceive. Act
ing within their legal rights for the fur
theranoe Of the interests Of labor. they are
equally entitled with every other poaoeable
citizen, rich or poor. to the protection Of the
State. But lawless and forcible denial OF
the rights Of Others the State cannot toler-
ate in anybody. Nor could great industrial
establishments be maintained, for capital
would never be invested in State By which
the laws are not enforced and individual
rights are not protected. It would be the
darkest Of all dark days for the workers Of
Pennsylvania if ever anarchy should in that
State take the place Of law.

THE Democrats seem to be very much
interested in the record Of the Pension
Office. Here are some pointers for them:
From March /, 1865, to June so, 1855, the
irsf three years and three months Of
Cleveland's administration, there were
issued 334, ,707 pension certificates. For
the same space Of Zine during Harrison's
administration, ending June 30, 1892,
there we're issued 759,603 certificates.
The salaries paid, including per diem and
expenses Of special examiners, being SS,-
lO6,9l4s7, made the average cost Of issu-
ing each certificate during the Cleveland
period, S2424 During the Harrison ad-
ministration, being SS.437 ,S57.4O, make
the aveaage cost Ofissuing each certificate
Sl110. The average cost Of paying each
pensioner during the Cleveland period
was = 9-l0 cents. During the Harrison
ad ministration 4el cents. That is, more
than double the work has been done dur
ing Harrison's administration, at an in
crease ofSIS0.OO0.

that they had no present intention Of per-

alent to saying that the nomination was to

a fine body of land, cuts down its
value-that is it would be greatly
deprecated were the land so torn up
without the rails following after
ward, but we do not believe there is a
case where a farm is cut in two by a
railroad that it is not double the
value it would be undisfgured but no
railroad within miles. 1t seems but
fair that the amount of land necessary
for a right of way should be disposed
Of at a no greater ratio than the land
was held at before the road was
thought of, as the balance is certain
to far exceed the whole in value.
This latter might also be good
reason for asking a much lower
lowest possible-as an
encouragement to the enterprise. 1t
is ridiculous to demand q fabulous
amount and thus help defeat an
which would be the
salvation of the country.
