Our Country in Danger.

Deeeret News.
 A few months ago anarchy reigned in portion of Wyoming. A force of armed citizens, aided by armed auxil- iaries from Texas, invaded portion of the sta te for lawless purpose. A number of people were killed, and a terrible wholesale massacre was only prevented by the timely intervention of federal troops. Questions connected with that disgraceful affair are still pending in the courts, in which charges of murder have been preferred against large number of persons implicated in the remarkable incident in the his tory of our neighboring state. The Wyoming matter is not yet settled.
 Within the last few days, in three different states of the union, as many outbreaks have occurred-two ot then, even more serious and much more bloody than the Wyoming affair. In each of these uprisings it has been necessary to invoke the aid of the mili- tary--eitlier that of the state or federal government, or both combined. We refer to the horrible conflict at Home stead, the scarcely less thrilling trage- dy at CGur d. Alene, Idaho, and the threatening situation at Paducha, Kentucky, where race war is in it's 1 incipient stages.
 l Tn each of the uprisings outside of | the one last named, the underlying cause of the disturbance is the same moneyed interests. The cattlemen un- | dertook, by unlawful means, to stop l the encroachments of small landhold- ers-that the public lands might be maintained as immense pasture grounds-and to prevent the stealing of stock by murdering those who they claimed were thieves. The Homestead trouble and that in Idaho were the re- suit of dispute between capital and labor. The cause of the revolt in Ken. lucky involves another question. It is a growing and dangerous one, and means rapine and murder.
 We submit that these are dangerous times. and hold that those who cannot see future peril in existing conditions must be blind to the plainest indica tions. Tine causes that have produced such serious consqueces within so briei time will become more and more prolific in the production of such ter rible scenes as have lately mortified tht nation. The questions which spring from such conditions are sure to leat to disaster unless great wisdom is uset by the thinking men of the nation. Conflicts between the forces of labor on one hand and capital on the othel will naturally lead up to a struggle be tween labor and lawful authority. Tn, latter will be invoked, as has been tn, case in each of the conflicts referred to, for the protection of capital, anC the struggle must therefore be largely transferred from fight between iabol and capital to one between labor anC constituted authoritysander the law This will lead to the creation of an i'm pression upon the minds of the masses -rightfnlly or wrongfully-that tho government is in league with money to hold them down.
 Let those who imagine this view tt be radical wait and be satisfied of it. correctness. In the natural course oI events one situation grows out of an other. each successive one being more complicated than it's predecessor.
 In all such disputes as those out oI which these conflicts have grown, the resources of arbitration ought to be ex hausted before any recourse is had tC the law of force, which has no con. vincing efficacy. Enforced Submis sion is not curative process. This truth applies with more potency to tn, 1 United States than to any other natior on earth.
