An End to Hesitation.

Washington Post
The Governor hesitates and vacillates no
longer. He has evidently arisen to the
magnitude of the emergency, and that the
demonstration of his power in the premises
may be as impressive as possible, has Or
dored the entire division of the Pennsyl-
vania National Guard, 5000 men. to proceed
to Homestead at once as conservators of the
public peace. The civil authority being
thus fortified. the situation becomes simpli-
way of settlement without further shedding
of blood. There will be no attempt to defy
the authority of the Commonwealth by
armed resistance. 1t is to be regretted that
Governor Pattison could not have seen his
way to this course in the first place; but an
obligation tardilv performed is better than
no performance at all, and the Governor
will be sustained in mis- action by good citi-
zens everywhere.

Governor Pattison has seen light. After
q delay that is both ine1plicable and mex
cusable he has ordered the National Guard
to Homestead to maintain the public peace.
1t has taken the Pennsylvania Executive
four full days co ascertain what was perfect
ly evident last Wednesday, that the Sheriff
of Allegheny county was unable to restore
and preserve order. MI. Pattiso on's inability
to seize a situa ton has been conclusiv ely
demonstrated. However, he has done at last
what he should have done at first. The ap-
pearance Of the militia at Homestead will
put a new phase upon the deplorable condi-
tion of affairs there; and 1t is most earnestly
to be hoped that the questions in dispute
may be speedily and amicably settled by
arbitration.

DUTY of the Militia.


Harrisburg CALL
The action of Governor Pattison in order
ing out the State militia will be commended
and approved by all good citizens. 1t is the
only solution of the great problem. It is
alone the means OF suppresstng the riot
and commanding the respect the law de-
mands. There can be no question that the
Sheriff has exhausted all authority in his
power. He has shown his utter inability to
raise a posse and the step taken by the
Governor is the one which alone remains to
be taken. 1t is the earnest hope of every
citizen that those in command Of the troops
will act temperately and with the utmost
discretion. Goodness and sense are what
the circumstances and the times demand
and require. It is not to win glory and bid
tor laurels that the troops are sent to Home
stead. Nor are they ordered there to take
the lives of as many men as possible to lessen
the number on the other side. This is no
war and should be no pitched battle. Their
purpose in being dispatched to the scene is
alone to remind men of their duty to their
country and the respect they owe the laws
of the land. The majesty and supremacy of
the law must be preserved.

the citizens of Homestead and public au-

one course and one result-the enforcement
Of the law and the restoration of order. We
believe the men of Homestead will recog-
nize this cardinal principle of governments
and give no occasion tor a resort to force.

the amount of capital asked for, and
appointed Messrs. George NJ Bowers,

and state that everything is call right

would like to know why the deal is not
completed, and operations commenced
at once. What can be the object in
delay? Is it because the M. M. M. &

peeped the heads of the young ladies

THAT BELT LINE.

For some time past it has been a
question as to whether the G, Y. orb.
Sc o. Railroads would run a belt line
road through the land of the M. M. M.
IL /. Co. The latter company has
largely used this matter in their ad
vertlsing; and from present prospects it
does not look much like either railroad
company will make any effort toward it
at an early day. In an interview with
Mr.. E. M. Purdee, of thenew furniture
factory, who has located on the land
of the Improvement Co., we learn that
he is limiting the amount of his ma
terial considerably. His reason is,
which is certainly good one, is be-
cause ii costs too much to have the
lumber hauled from the railroads to his
plant, and then hauled back again fol
market, after being made up.
According to his statement, the haul
ing of one carload of lumber, both
ways, amounts to about $500. Now
if the proposed line was made, as
promised and advertised, Mr.. Purdet
would be III pocket Just $1,000 0,
every car load of lumber he uses
We wonder how long any plant vii
last at such a rate, or method of bust
ness, with the present competition sur
rounding us. Gentlemen, this won't
do. The belt line should be made
without fail, and at once. Carry GU
your advertising to the letter. Promises
won't make any town-nothing bu
hard, solid cash.

THIEVES AT WORK.

Saturday night thieves entered Mr..
VIM. Rutledge's poultry house. They
got on the roof and raised the trap
door, but on looking down decided
that if they got in it would not be such
an easy matter to get out again. So
they departed leaving the door open.
When morning dawned, the prisoners
of the coop, some FIVE or six turkeys
and some chickens, decided to take an
airing, and passed out through the
top of the roof. The turkeys were not
content with remaining at home but
decided to pay visit to the neighbor-
ing poultry yards. When the coop
was opened to get bird for dinner,
they had flown. Mr.. Strong went
after the game with his rifle; he saw a
couple sitting around on the tops of
some of the buildings, which he prompt
ly brought down. The remainder had
to be sought for among the poultry of
the neighbors, and by last evening the
birds had been recaptured.
The theft of the birds had evidently
been premeditated, for the parties
thinking that there would be no trouble
in getting the birds, prepared to give
them a hearty breakfast in the morn
ing. So they went the same night and
made raid upon the corn crib of Mr..
J. W. R. Fisher. Mr.. Fisher had been
in the habit of leaving his crib unlock
ed, but on Saturday he put a new lock
on the door. But this precaution did
not prevent the thieves carrying off the
corn.

COWARDiY Y.

THE WORLD was the recipient this
morning of letter from one Of the
officers of the M. NJ M. & |. Co., which
contained the most vulgar and degrad-
ing language that could possibly be
penned. To call it black guarding
would be no comparison, and what
makes it even more little in the writer,
was that he didn't have manhood and
spunk enough to sign his name. For
tunately another person overheard the
conversation in which the writer ex-
pressed his intention of doing it. So
Mr.. Writer, we have you. And then,
as a further evidence that it comes
from the company it suggests as no
other reason than that the Company
has been attacked The truth is mighty
and will prevail. If THE WORLD has
made any incorrect statements, it will
gladly correct them. But as public
medium it purposes to protect its
patrons as far as lays within It's power,
and further, when this company well
knows the author of these attacks pub
licly, they should not hesitate to sign
their full name in attempting to scare
and black-guard him in niggardly
way. THE WORLD is not to be scared
withanonymous threats, gentlemen. 1t
won't work. AS above stated, if THE
WORLD has made any incorrect state
ments, it will gladly rectify them. But
as far as it has gone, as its evidence
and authority, it refers to your present
Honorable President.
