AS THE WORLD SEES 1T.
The Responsibility Divided.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.]
While the responsibility for yesterdays
dreadful tragedy rests so heavily upon the
Sheriff, neither the Carnegie Steel Company
nor the workmen can wash their hands in
1nnocency of it. The measures OF the
onenses Of either of them can be determined
only after it has been fully ascertained. but
It Is clearly discernable, even now, that
there was precipitate, unconsidered, arDl-
trary action, .forerunning reason, patience
ana forebearance. The contention between
the company and its employees was one with
regard to wages, which IS one of tho simplest
ana most easily settled by fair, inte!lfgent
men of any that is likely to divide employers
ana employed. 1t was the resort to this
obnoxious force, the Pinkerton detectives,
which precipitated the riot and blOodshed.
These men, however useful they may be
esteemed for any purpose. constitute an
actual military force, armed with destruc-
tive weapon of warfare, which Is nowhere
recognized by the Federal or State Consti-
tuition.

A RECoILING ARGUMENT.

The so-called Unionist party in British
politics bases all its arguments against
Home Rule for Ireland on the erroneous
assumption that such a concession would
be the first step toward an absolute politi-
cal separation of the two islands. As a
matter of fact, all the evidence produced
tends to absolutely refute that argument,
and indicates thatif Ireland were provided
with fair system of home rule, its union
with Great Britain would be more genuine
and sincere than ever heretofore.
There has been remarkable change in
the feeling of the Irish nation toward in
habitants of the larger isle since the cause
of Home Rule achieved prominence in
public opinion and secured large meas
ure of English support And with the
growth of opinion in England toward the
granting of Ireland's right to look after its
own affairs, the friendliness of feeling in
creases. Viewed in this aspect, the dis
sentient Liberals have produced an argu-
ment which will recon on their own cause
by culling, the following extract from
George Washington's valedictory address
as contribution to their campaign docu-
ments: "It is of Infinite moment that you
properly estimate the immense value of
your national union to your collective and
individual happiness; you should cherish
an immovable attachment for it, and frown
upon attempts to enfeeble the sacred ties
linking the various parts"

CHICAGO. July I'm its issue of this week,

$50 long as present conditions continue,
where each class of employees is represented
by its special organization, and when rail-
way companies have schedules of wages in
dependently OF each other, SO long there
will be constant cause of complaint
by one class as they see higher
wages paid to other classes or
to the same class on other roads.
So long will there be a perpetual simmering
of discomfort So long will there be contin-
ual outbreaks of guerrilla warfare, now on
this, now that way, with infinite loss and
disturbance to both the companies and the
workers: and we believe that If 1t were
taken hold of in earnest this could all be
wiped away. Both alike would profit by the
peace which would result, to the extent Of
many times the amount of any possible

To send q hired band Of private detectives
at night armed with the deadliest rifles,
charged with bullets for tho hearts of Ameri-
can workmen, was worse than reckless. It
was lawless, criminal. 1t was to invite o
bloody encounter. to meet lawlessness with
lawlessness, to array mob against mob.
Done by men clothed with no insignia of
official authority this was simply murder on
a large scale and the culprits should he dealt
with accordingly. Any such outrage in the

carnage. Now that the outbreak has
occurred but one duty confronts the public
authorities. Peace must be maintained and

One Wrong Does Not Justify Another.
Philadelphia Record,]

The reported action Of the Carnegie Steel
Company in calling to tho aid of the authori-
ties armed detectives, in its own pay and
employment. was both imprudent and rep
rehensible. These mercenaries are regarded
with great disfavor by nearly all right
thinking men. Their presence as participa-
tors in a dispute about wages was sure to
aggravate the disturbances; how sure the
bloody sequel has shown. It is the business
OF the peace officers Of Allegh eny county to
protect the Homestead property. II they
laws are obeyed. All this the Carnegie Steel
Company fully understood. But on the
other hand, an army Of Pinkertons does not
justify rioting and bloodshed.

A Question Raised.

New York WOfld.1
The immediate cause of yesterdays battle
was the attempt of the mill owners to land O
force Of Pinkerton men at their works.
Whether the Pinkerton men fred first upon
the workmen, as is reported in. the dis
patches, or whether the workmen began the
firing. will probably never be known with
certainty. But in either case the attempt
to land these armed men led directly to the
conflict. Tho facts, therefore, raise the
whole question of Pinkertonism anew. Is
it right that a private detective agency shall
maintain standing army, thing forbidden
even to the several States of the Union2 Is
it we'll that body of armed mercenaries
shall be held thus at the service of whomso-
ever has money with which to hire them?
The reply usually made is that the owners
OF threa tened property have a right to hire
men to defend it. But where the defense Is
likely to involve actual war, as in this case
it was certain to do. there may be doubt of
the justice of that reply. There is no doubt
OF its inj tice in any case in which private
force is employed before the necessity arises
and used before the orderly, legal resources
of defense are exhausted.

able event in the industrial history of this
country. Full details are narrated in other
columns. and it is not necessary here to
specify the outrages committed. To one
proposition of this lamentable affair in Penn
sylvania we think there will be common as
sent and that is that the Carnegie people
committed a great error in summonfng an
armed body of the Pinkerton police, unau-.
thorized by State or National law to act in q
military capacity. The brutal treatment of
the poor fellows composing the guard when
they had surrendered will be everywhere
denounced. We observe that our statesmen
in Washington took lively interest in the
affair. Well they might.

A Bluuder or q Crime.


Cleveland Leader.J
A serious blunder, II not a crime against
the highest interests Of mankind, was COM
mttted when an attempt was made to force
an entrance into the mtllyard Of
the Carnegie Steel Company, at Home
stead, Pa, with mere handful Of
Pinkerton men. As matter Of ab-
stract principle these so-called detectives,
being the employees Of the company, had
right to go into its mills, and nobody could
lawfully prevent them from doing so. This
fact. however, does not excuse the criminal
blunder of using Pinkerton men asagents
to enforce the law under circumstances
which made it evident to the dullest minds
that only strong force of State troops could
do the work properly and effect a restora-
tion of the normal and legal status, without
much bloodshed and destruction of prop
