NATIONAL chairmanships are little
sought after this year by men whom either
party desires for their campaign leader.
And it is significant OF the lack of disinter-
estedness among politicians that so much
should be said about the prior claims of pri-
vate business over the demands for party
service.

Carnegie VIII Ultimately Win.

st. Louis Republic.1
The Carnegie Steel Company Limited, de-
liberately and probably Intentionally pro-
voked breach of the peace by sending the
armed Pinkerton's to Homestead. Accord
ing to their own published statement they
had appealed to the Sheriff Of Allegheny
county for protection, and he was acting
upon their appeal. Beyond doubt, had the
Sheriff found himself unable to protect
them in their legal rights with the posse at
his command, he would have sought such
other aid as is provided for in emergencies
by the laws of Pennsylvania. Without watt
ing for him to act in the regular and lawful
way, the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited.
sought to steal a march on their employees
by sending down a body of private mercen-
aries to take possession of the works at
night and from behind the stociade of Fort
Frick overawe their discharged working
men by q display of armed force. Ulti-
mately, of course, Carnegie will win. He
has the law on his side, end behind the law
is the resistless power OF the State. If the
Homestead workingmen do not surrender
and accept his terms they must give place
to strangers imported for the purpose who
are willing to take what they can get.

VIEWED FROM A DISTANCE.
The sheriff's Call for a Posse.

Harrisburg CALI
The action of Sheriff McCleary in calling
upon citizens or Pittsburg to arm them
selves and help quel the riot at Homestead,
does not meet with the approval of many
fair-minded men. Few citizens would feel
like voluntarily loading their guns and
going Off to shoot down upon command q
lot of workingmen contending for what they
believed to be right. 1t must be expected
that the hundreds of workingmen at Home
stead had many sympathizers and as many
friends in Pittsburg. The men who were
expected to obey the proclamation of the
Sheriff must be themselves big, able-Dodied
men, those capable OF fighting and carrying
a mus1et, probably in most cases, working
men themselves, certainly not the capitalist
and merchants How unreasonable then to
assume that such men would respond vol
UNFAIRLY to a proclamation even by the
Sherlf of the county.
The Question Now Paramount.
Chicago News-Record.1
Now that the trouble has been precipi-
tated, the question is how to end it. Wisdom
and humanity dictate the withdrawal of the
immediate causes of yesterdays outbreak.
The tempest should De permitted to sub
side. When calm has succeeded, the SUI
preme authority of the State may be in
voked to maintain peace. 1t is unfortunate
that many warm-hearted people look upon
tne homestead aHalr from purely sehti-
mental point of view. There is a disposi-
t1on, in many respects commendable, to
side with the poor and the helpless. But
the Homestead case must be considered
apart from the warmer impulses of the
heart. The law is all-powerful and must be
respected. Bloodshed is horrible in ma
tion where the people make the law. 1t is
comfort to reflect that if the law fails to
establish justice and equality the law in its
remotest detail can be revised and changed.
To this end those who dislike the condi-
tions at Homestead should assiduously adj
dress themselves

A Bit of Medi@ yalism.


Boston Globe
1t was realistic bit of medi8valism, no
doubt to transform a great hive of industry
into q frowning fortress, and to summon, as
any lordly Baron in the olden time might
have done, band of merceneries to its de
Tense. But, in view of all chat happened in
one memorable day and night at Homestead,
in Pennsylvania, was this deliberate revival
of methods known to the middle ages really
worth while? ALI that has happened at the
Carnegie works might easily have been
avoided. and that, too, without the slightest
sacrifice of official dignity or even single
prerogative assumed by the masters. The
dispute between employers and employed
ought, of course, to have been settled long
ago, on basis honorable to both parties to
the controversy. But, assuming that disa-
greement and a lockout was inevitable,
there seems no warrant or excuse whatever
for course Of proceedings that stigmatized
every workingman in the town as a danger
GUS outlaw, and that made the whole estab-
lishment walled iortification, designed to
be guarded by q battalion OF paid men,
armed with rifles.

Legal and Moral Responsibility.

Toledo Commercial1
1t will be difficult to fix the actual or
moral responsibility for all that has been
done. Already it is a mooted question who
began the shooting yesterday morning. But
the Pinkertons were deputized as sheriffs
and have the law on their side, leaving from
5000 to 5000 residents of Homestead to an
swer for murder and being accessories be-
fore and after the fact. Every man in the
mob-every woman, too for that matter-is
liable to prosecution in the courts on the
above charge. So much for the actual re-
sponsibility. The moral responsibility is
much more delicate matter. Some of the
men concerned in the riots were worthless
ignorant and Dasely disposed. Some of them
were merely carried away by the excite
ment. There can be no question about the
right OF the Carnegie Company to carry on
its business as it sees fit. The men had a
clear right to refuse to work for the wages
offered. But having refused the wages pro-
posed they had no legal or moral right to in
terfere with anyone who was willing to take
the wages refused by them. Of course. hun
dreds of these men own homes in Home.
stead and going elsewhere to seek employ
ment means loss to them. That gave them
no right to interfere with any other citizen
and they are clearly blamable in that much.

The general public cannot be expected to
investigate the merits OF the rate of compen-
sation proposed, $2S per ton. Whether fair
or unfair the unseemly haste to close the
door on negotiation cannot be too severely
condemned. The public generally will hold
that Frick sought, rather than Stunned,
conflict. No one can foresee the results OF
this outbreak. The Sheriff applied to the
Governor OF the State, who was 10th to take
hand in the fight, and Congress proposes
to investigate the matter, which was to be
expected, as matter of course. The free
trade Democracy hopes to extract comfort
from the affair, and it certainly does look as
If Carneeie was trying to prove himself a

come to the Republican party. provided
only there is no attempt to gloss over ex-
plain away OF pervert the facts in the case.

One WOman's Appeal to the Men OF
Barber County,

Men of even heather nations defend
with their lives their women and chill
dren. 1t is law of their nature. Males
of the lowest order of animal life do the
same. The man who will not protect
their young are lower than a beast. By
nature we know men are the noblest
animal life; but by drink he is made
lower than the brute, and dangerous
foe instead of a living defence. We will
narrow this down to the condition Of
things in Barber county. The women
and children of Barber county are cry
ing to you men for bread, for clothes,
for education, and for an enforcement
of the laws you have made to protect
them. Every man. woman and might
say. child, of Barber county, knows that
in direct violation of statute, men in
Medicine Lodge, and other towns OF
Barber county, are selling whisky. Each
man is aw-maker, and power to en-
force the law he makes. Oh, listen,
and hear this pleading. No wonder the
women are wanting the ballot; Is 1t not
because you will not protect hers and
her; yours and you. The woman was
made for the man. He is commanded
to loose all other earthly ties and love
his wife as his own body. Will you not
hunt to the death the dog that bites?
Will you not confine the OK that pushes
with his horns? Will you not arrest
the thief? Then why not resist with
equal zeal this worse enemy of safety
and peace. MRS. CARRIE NATION.
