A workman named Pacher met with horri-
BILE fate at warlburg, Austria, few days ago.

mace at the Vogel iron works and it is supposed
had fallen asleep while at work inside hue.

ward fire was started in the furnace. Two DAYS

began to make inquiries. As he had last been

make a search there. When the fues were re-
opened the mans remains we're at once found,

The London Daily Neps, commenting on the
American strikes, strongly denounces what it
terms the ''barbarous and treacherous" meth
DDS OF the strikers, especially the miners. 1t
says: These men are not entitled to the name
strikers in its ordinary sense. They are not
even insurgents. who respect the ordinary laws
OF war. They are destroyers of life and prop
erty. No wonder that public feeling throughout
America Ii aroused to q great degree against
these despoiers, and, bearing the circumstances
in mind. we must make due allowance for the
substance and tone Of Gov. Buchanans procla-
nation. We do not desire to see the rioters
lynched, but it will be an evil day for democ-
r.cy II such acts Of brutality escape Just pun

THE PROFESSIONAL AGITATOR.


From the Scranton Tribune
1t is the professional agitator who puts labor
in its present false light. II is the man with
bombs in his pocket and murder in his heart
who seizes prominence in these councils Of toll
ers and by the very audacity Of his impudence
achieves his anarchistic ends before the startled
sober sense of the majority can command its
energies in opposition But it is time that this
conservative element began to reassert itself.
1t is time that the men who own homes, who
have children growing up in liability to this
loathsome social contagion, who revere the law
and respect the honest agencies Of its enforce
ment began to show that they have not gone
into permanent paralysis. 1t is this class who
are threatened. Capital can take care of ITSELF
1t need not worry whether industries stop or
go on. The men who are rich will always have
enough to eat and drink and wear. Not 80 the
frugal and law-abiding nottingham if he per-
mits these parisitica agitstors both to feed upon
his hard-won earnings and by lurid word and
incendiary torch to brighten the goose that lays
the golden egg.
