In October. 1868, Gov. Boram.n

fraudulent disfranchiscmcnt Of c;,;
zens, sent soldiers into Logan conn.
ty for the ostensiblo purpose Of
guarding the polls, and protecting
loyal citizens, when no instance
stands on record of any resistance q
law or authority. 1t was the same
thing in Mason county in '6s when
hundreds Of its best citizens were
disfranchised by the Infamous req.
istration act carried out by consci.
enceless rascality.
1t was the same thing in Marion
county when New York troops Il
$50 were brought in by Boreman,s
order to drive away 300 Democratic
citizens, loyal and upright people.
1t was the same thing here in this
city when the best citizens were de-
prived of their franchise by men
who arc to-day the cynosure and
centre of contempt.
But many of these men have gone
to their reward.
The troops sont to Logan county
in 1s6s-to be specidc-in October
robbed henroosts, Knocked down
peaceable citizens, and committed
every depreciation imaginable, and
even threatened the life of their
commander, who tried to control
them in their la wless, vicious course.
At last fearful of his life, the COM
mander of tho troops called upon
the citizens for protection.
Captain Pete Morgan, an Ex-Con-
federate, captain of company D.,
Seth Virginia infantry, was appealed
to. Captain Morgan got together a
number of his old command, charg-
ed the soldiers, captured and bound
them hand and foot and put them
in Jail where they remained three
or four days, when they were sent
to Louisville, Ky. for trial by Court
Martial.
That was the last rebel charge.
and the acts of the soldiers, the in
famous Acknowledgement of the
people of West Virginia is but an
example of the effects of the Force
Bill advocated by the Republican
platform and the Republican speak
ers and congressman.

Not Much encouragement.

The returns from Georgia do not
give much encouragement to the
Peoples Party. The small number
of votes received by it shows that
the real issue is between the
Democrats and Republicans-be-

the party of high protection and
the force bill.

Methods of Labor Unions.

That is an awful report that comes from
Pittsburg. 1t is scarcely credible. If it
is true that non-union men have been
poisoned at Homestead by cooks who
mingled the poison with their food, tits al
most beyond belief that it was done at the
instigation of any labor organization. If
| there is any foundation for the story told
by the criminal who did the poisoner's
work, it VIII prove one of the heaviest
blows against labor unions that has ever
come upon them. We shall not accept
the statement unless it is corroborated
by stronger evidence than has yet ap-
peared.
No matter how much capitalists and
big corporations may be opposed to the
! organization of labor, the general public
will see no wrong in the principle of the
thing nor harm in its practice within the
lines of law and the rights of man.
Labor unions have become necessary
in the conflict with capital. And
employers unions have been considered
equally necessary in the issues with or
ganized labor. Both may exist and be
defended by their promoters with good
arguments while they are kept inside
legitimate limits. When they overstep
these bounds they not only come within
the jurisdiction OF legal punitive force,
but they place themselves beyond the
pale OF public liberation.
No labor union has the right to compel
or try to compel people to become its
members, nor to hinder on-members
from obtaining employment, nor to sub
ject them to indignities because they do
not choose to conform to union rules. It
is the resort to compulsion, no matter in
what form it is exercised, that the people
OF the United States will resist and ulti
mately put down.
This is a free country, and in it labor
must be free. Just as free to keep out OF
labor unions as to organize them or join
them. Employers must be free to engage
labor at such wages as they are willing to
pay and workmen are willing to geceive.
Laborers must be free to accept such re-
Enumeration as satisfies them, no matter
what other laborers may do or think.
Less than this is bondage.
The whole power OF the government
must be exerted when necessary to pre-
serve this liberty. If labor unions would
preserve their usefulness, or if they would
preserve their existence, they must un-
derstand and keep within legal bounds.
While we cannot believe that such muir
derous methods as are disclosed in the
the press dispatches have been adopted by
any recognized labor union in the coun-
try, it is fact that they sometimes step
over the line of the rights of others, and
therein is danger to themselves as well as
to the welfare Of society. Let them mark
well the point beyond which they may not
justly go.

The Snub to Speaker Crisp.

a great deal Of fuss is being kicked up
over the reported ''snub'' given to
Speaker CRISP at the Reform Club dinner
en- Saturday night in New York. The
distinguished gentleman was invited to
the feast. He attended but was not called
on to speak. He had prepared an address
in the event of a call, and had promised it
or given it to the Associated Press, to be
used if delivered. The failure to invite
him to speak is construed by some med
ding people as a Hsnub,D and it was
telegraphed to a startled world that the
neglected statesman left the place Gin a
huff and did not return.
Mr.. CRISP does not talk as if he oon-
sidered himself abused. He says he was
notified that he would be wanted to make
a speech, but that he did prepare some
thing as stated, though he had no reason
Tor complaint al not being called on i.
Also that he merely went to an ante
room where he had left his hat and over
coat, and that he did return and stayed
till the close Of the entertainment
If every prominent person invited to a
big dinner felt himself insuIted when not
called upon to speak, there would be a
great many disgruntled people on such
occasions, and If every one able to
speak must be called upon, when would
such occasions end? We do not see
wherein any of the Speakers friends had
occasion for complaint. He partook of
the feast of reason and the flow of-What-
ever was provided, with the best, and by
virtue OF his position should be able to.
listen to others without feeling it neces-
sary to talk himself.
We suspect that this pretence Of sensi-
tiveness over an imaginary slight to
CRISP, is only feint to draw attention
to reported contest to occur over the
speakership of the next House of Repre-
sentatives. BREcKINRIDGE, BYNUM and
WILSON are spoken of as probable candi-
dates, and either of them would make an
efficient officer. But CRISP has possession
and very fair record.
