SHALL MOB RULE BE THE LAW?


The strike of railroad employees now in
progress at Buffalo. N. Y, gives an occasion
Tor further discussion of certain character
istics of the labor unions of the United
States of which there must be amendment
and reform, or they may as we'll go out Of
business as possibilities for aiding the
laborer and lettering his condition.
The unions persstently declare that vo-
lence and force are not part of their articles
Of union, but as we have frequently pointed
out, all the great labor strikes for the past
twenty-five years have been attended with
violence upon the part of the strikers. Ii
the unions are opposed to violence they fail
to make their opposition to it so known to
the men as to have the smallest influence
upon them.
Actions speak louder than words. The
experience of the past twenty-five years
makes it clear that violence and force are
the unwritten common law Of the unions.
and unless they shall make open condem-
nation OF violence and set themselves &C
lively to WORK to suppress it whenever it
appears the reputation as friends of violence
which the past has given 10 them will stick
10 them and continue to grow.
The strike now on at Buffalo has already
presented some marked evidences of the
spirit Of violence and force which animates
the strikers. The telegraph Informs Us
that on Monday last large number or the
cars Of the railroad companies were burnt.
1t is manifest that the burning of these cars
was the work of iDcendiaries. and il is
equally manifest that the strikers were the
incendiaries. The water tanks near the
burning cars were destroyed so that it WAS
almost impossible to apply the water to
successful extinguishment of the flames
While efforts were being made 10 extin-
guish the flames many workers 10 that end
were assaulted by the strikers. In the con-
fusion incident to such "a scene a switch IN
der passenger train was displaced. throw
ing two passenger coaches of the track and
greatly alarming its inmates, though forth
nately not killing any of them. A passen-
ger train was boarded By men who declared
they were strikers aud who arrested the
train, forbidding it to go further.
The sheriff with the party of deputies at
tempted to adjust a switch so that a train
might move. The strikers immediately
turned the switch again and nuliifed the
sheriff's work. The sheriff tried to arrest
some of the men interfering with his work.
but they were Immediately rescued and
taken from him by their companions. The
resistance to the sheriff and his posse went
to the extent of one striker being seriously
hurt by sherif's officer.
On Tuesday the State militia was ordered
out and took possession of the place. With
great difficulty they were able 10 prevent
destruction Of the railroads property. but
'ney were SO far resisted by the strikers that
their Efforts to start trains were of no avail.

D1sAFFEcrED Democrat writes us a long
and bulky communication, which, of course,
we cannot publish both on account of its
length rs we'll as of the heresies it contains.
One question asked in it will be sufficient to
show the calibre of all. He says that he
sees In the issue of TIE TIMES of the 14th
inst. that the appropriations madeSby the
Fifty-second Congress under requirements
OF laws OF its billion dollar predecessor. were
$79, 0O2 g." and he then:asks Can it be
30 that one Congress. however rascally and
unprincipled. can pass laws compelling its
successor to continue its rascality?"
We think our correspondent. in meddling
with politics, is getting beyond his depth
II he does not know that laws once on the
statute books must be obeyed until they
sre repealed; that they cannot be repealed
until the laws repeating them have passed
both Houses and been signed by the Presi-
dent; that the Fifty-second Congress has a
Republican Senate. and a Republican
President is in the White House; that.
therefore, il wss impossible for the Demo-
Gratis of the House 10 repeal these obnoxious
laws. and 30 they were compelled TO yield
obedience TO them. The rest of our CORE
spondents reasoning is about on par with
the specimen here given.

DOES THE THIRD PARTY PROMISE
AID TO THE POOR MANI

The platform of the Third party demands
that the entire paper currency Of the coun-
try shall be issued by the Government itself
and that it shall amount to at least $50 per
capita. It also demands that the Govern
ment shall lend this money to the people at
the rate Of per cent. per annum. return Of
it TO the Government to be secured by a
mortgage on the farmers landed property.
This will be all right for the farmer or real
estate owner who has land to mortgage as
security for what is loaned TO him. But how
is the poor man who has no property 70
mortgage to get any Of the money that the
Government is to issue?
This is a most palabe and open device in
the interest of the rich and in disre-
gard of the poor. The comfortable
farmer who owns his land is to be supplied
with all the money be wants by paternal
and generous Government: but the citizen
who has no property to pledge is to look on
at the snug farmer enjoying himself and
lick his chops in the competing reflection
that he is to pay taxes to pay interest
on money that the farmer cen borrow but
he can obtain no access to. Jones. he pays

We then have this situation presented In th
Buffalo strike: We have the strikers doing al
they can to destroy the railroad company
property, and we have them resisting th'
officers OF the State, both civil and military
who were on the ground TO preserve th'
peace and protect the company's property
and we hear not word from the Labor
unions or the authorities of the unions in
condemnation of these lawless proceedings
The unions all over tho country very
properly denounce property-owners for en-
ploying Pinkerton guards n protect their
property under such circumstances, and
The inns also expresses its most emphatic
condemnation of such organizations as that
OF the Pinkertons.
The property of all citizens should be pro.
tected, but it should be done by the State
coming promptly upon the scene with the
entire force Of the body polite. including
the highest as we'll as the lowest. We are
not to tolerate body of armed men hired
By the rich man for his protection. but in
accessible to the poor man. 1t IS for the
State to protect all. rich and poor alike, by
all the force and power of the whole State.
The inevitable aud logical result of the
employment OF a body of men by private
individual or corporation for the protection
of tho property of that individual or cor
poration from mob violence is to bring the
public authority into contempt and 10
cause people generally to feel no response
bility for the preservation Of the peace and
dignity of the Commonwealth, but to leave
every man TO take care of himself as best
he can.
This would be chaos. indeed, and con-
dition in which the weak would succumb
and the strong triumph, and the offence
against the public peace would be put be-
low an injury to an individual Hence we
insist on the preservation Of law and order
not by private force but by the civil and
military power Of the whole State, which
shall be available for the defence OF all
alike.
We find. however. the Nebraska Third
party convention dominated By representa-
tives of labor organizations demanding the
abolition of the State militia. and we find
the strikers st Homestead and at Buffalo
resisting the civil and military authorities
Of the State when they attempt to prevent
them from injuring the property of their
former employers.
All the evidence points irresistibly TO the
conclusion that the violence and force are
the traditional methods of the members Of
labor unions. and this practice must be
abandoned, or the labor unions had ss well
shut up shop. The American people will
never allow themselves to be coerced into any
course of conduct whatever by lawlessness
and brute violence. They are ready to
hear the laborer's complaints and to redress
them so far as they can. But they will
be driven to nothing by the methods Of a
mob

Witt soon after o'clock this morning.
A freight train drawn by engine No. 4S5,
Charles Cady engineer, slowed up at
Messina Springs crossing to pick up a
flag, and just at that time another freight
train, drawn by engine No. 483, which
was following close behind, crashed into
the rear end of the forward car.
Engine No. 4S3 is one of the most
powerful engines on the road, and was
running at the rate of twenty miles an
hour. When it struck the other train it
tore through the caboose and six cars,
spreading the wreckage on both sides OF
the track.
1t is claimed that the crew on the first
train was asleep in the caboose. Three OF
the trainmen were caught in the wreck.
Conductor John Welsh of Clyde had both
legs chopped off and was fatally hurt.
Middle Brakeman William Cox OF
Dewitt was killed Flagman Patrick
Welsh Of Dewitt is suffering from severe
