Assuming that the National Guard of
Pennsylvania will succeed in restoring
order at Homestead and delivering the
property into the hands of the rightful
owners, the question arises, what will
take place after the militia is withdrawn.
One of the strikers is reported as saying
that after that takes place the workmen
will ''swoop down upon the works again
and take possession of them" Now that
is programme which the workmen can
not afford to carry out. From the stand
point of their own interest it is the very
worst policy that they can pursue. The
only result of it would be the calling out
again of the National Guard and the res
toration of the property again to its
owners, with the probable addition of a
prosecution of some of the leaders in
the courts. The true policy for them is
to preserve the best of order and deco
rum, and avoid any violation of law what
ever; and then after convincing the pub
lie that they intend to be peaceable and
act inside the law to propose arbitration
for the settlement of their original dis
pute with the Carnegie Company. That
will tend to inspire public belief that
they have confidence in the righteous
ness of their cause, and if the company
refuses to accept this means of settle
ment the workmen will have placed
themselves in position of decided ad
vantage. But to continue to resort to
lawlessness, to keep on defying the law
of the land, is certain not only to array
against them all the civil, and if need be
the military power of the State, but also
to ALLEVIATE from them all public sympa-
thy.

Some very peculiar correspondence
has passed between Mr.. James w. Me-
serve, chairman of the Democratic Dis
trlct committee, and the Hon. M. P.
Frank. Mr.. Frank was the candidate of
the party two years ago in this district,
and was entitled by usage to a re-nomin-
nation. Mr.. Meserve few days ago be-
came so awfully fearful lest Mr.. Frank
might not accept a denomination that he
wrote to him on the subject, calling his
attention to the magnificent run he made
two years ago, and intimating that the
Democracy were just dying to re-nomin-
ate him. Mr.. Frank in reply says that
circumstances beyond his control will pre-
vent his acceptance of a denomination,
and takes the trouble to ada that his
declination must not be construed as
indicating that he thinks the Democrats
have no chance of carrying the district.
On the contrary he is full of enthusiasm
and believes that the outlook for the De-
mocracy was never more brilliant. We
looked, but in vain, for reply from Mr..
Meserve, expressing his deep regret that
circumstances beyond his CONTROL had
compelled Mr.. Frank to decline. Prob
ably Mr.. Meserve is too much overcome
by the suddenness and unexpectedness
of the blow to utter his feelings cohe-
rently at present.

His course as city marshal has been consis-
tent and satisfactory to our citizens generally
and as regards the prohibitory law in line with
that of his immediate predecessor, who in his
annual report says, "The enforcement of the
prohibitory law by Sheriff Cram and his depu-
ties has left little in this direction for the police
department to do save to keep the peace and
afford such assistance as the police could prop
erly render" and of fifteen hundred arrests re-
ported last year by the police there was but one
common seller" two 'illegal transportation, .
three ''liquor nuisance" and one ''single sale"
The SWEET record in this particular cannot be
consistently criticised by the PkEss.-Argus.
If Marshal Swett's record has been all
right what shall we say of yours? For
some weeks now you have been alleging
that the city was infested with an army
of bottle peddlers who were freely sell
ing s'split..'' Now you say in defence of
Mr.. SWEET that the sheriff has so effec-
tually enforced the law then there is
nothing for the Marshal to do in that
connection. Both these statements can
not be true. If the city is infested with
bottle-peddlers then there is something
for Marshal SWEET to do. If there is moth
ing for Marshal SWEET to do then the city
cannot be infested with bottle peddlers.

Mr.. EDITOR: Don Quixote has
appeared again, in the guise of
doctor on Maui, and the windmill
which he attacks so vigorously
with his quill lance is poor Thurs
ton.
Anyone who has lived on Maui
since Spreckelsville was started
knows what a population of dead
beats and hoodlums swarmed in
former days from California to the
new plantation, and reading the
reference to Thurston's speech in
regard to the slough" population,
understands that he expects "a
| similar crowd to infest the giant
Makaweli estate on Kauai.
It is we'll known on Maui that
the population of Spreckelsville
has long since been purged OF its
slough" elements, and now aver
ages we'll with the people of any
place on the islands. But does the
doctor really mean what he says
that every man on the plantation
| is a gentleman? Does he include
the Chinese high-binders of Camp
5, and the japanese army that
turned on its lands not long since? l
| fear that the annals of the Wailuku
| Police Court would scarcely bear
him out.
There MAY be many there cable
to cope with" Mr.. Thurston in
any capacity" The place swarms
with lawyers and statesmen, Of
course, and every other man knows
how to sail a yacht much better
than Captain Thurston. Quantitie:
of lunas there would be willing t.
take the position of Minister of In

Mr.. EDIToR-For the informa-

reported as having stated that they
were i" slough" / would state that
what I did say upon the subject was
as follows: "The salary of the

was under discussion, and / spoke
against a proposed reduction OF the
item, giving as reason that "the

up in the district, and would become

did Spreckelsville in its early
stages"

cause Germany has no longer any influence
