The sheriff has telcgraphed to the
governor of the state to say he was

grave. Five thousand strikers on the
ground. Unless something done promptly,
great loss Of life inevitable.
And the governor hesitates, for as Mr.
Carnegie has said in his monumental
work, "Triulnphant Democracy":-
Who are so deeply interested in the able
and pure administration of Justice as the
masses of the people, the poorer classes of
the people, who may he trusted to elect
the men least likely to lean undulv to the
side of the rich, the powerful, and the
strong?
That was written lin 1856 in praise
OF the system which allows the popular
vote to elect all magistrates and sheriffs
and other persons having authority.
Perhaps the governor of Pennsylvania
remembers Mr.. Carnegies declaration
that
1t is the mission of Democracy to lead
in this triumphant march, and improve
step by stop the conditions under which
the masses live; to ring out the Old and to
ring in the New; and in this great work
the republic rightly leads the van.
~
Step by step the conditions under
which the masses live are being improved,
according to the best authorities, in
manner following. The Pinkerton
force, it may here be SAID, comprises a
kennelful of human lurchers, larrikins,
and loafers. Spies for divorce cases,
detectors of dirt, adultery, dicing, and
all devilment. They are in the employ
of private firm, for profit. Too lazy

The American system of Triumphant
Democracy brings out the best qualities
of this class of alleged men. The attack

Here follow portions of the cabled

From the American poet Lowell, too,
our inspired author quotes this joyful
information
All nations havo their message from on
high,
Each the Messiah of some central thought
For the fultilment and delight of Man:
One has to teach that labor is divine.
And he adds that.
10 every man is committed in some
degree, as sacred trust, the manhood of
man. This he may not himself infringe
or permit to be infringcd by others.
Except by Pinkertou detectives when
lawful occasion shall arise. 1t was by
nh unfortunate miSchance no doubt,
that in the struggle at the Homestead
works "the pilot on one steamer was
Killed and one of the Finkerton men
was drowned in attempting to swim
ashore from barge" This would not
have happened il Mr.. Carnegie had not
been inadvertently wandering around
Scotland at the time. He entertains. as
all men may know, an objection to idle
wanderers, whose habits he has con-
demned in really amusing anecdote !:
When the fair young American asked
the latest lordling who did hercountry the
honor to visit It,, how the aristocratic
leisure-classes spent their time, he re-
piled: "Oh, they so about from one house
to another, don't you know, and enjoy
any work, you know oh" she re.
piled, I'VE have such people too -tramps.n
