OF PORTLAND

A Congressional investigation of the
trouble at Homestead would undoubt-
eddy be productive of good if it were en-
tered upon with sincere intention of
getting at its facts, and apportioning the
responsibility where it belongs. But the
character which the affair has taken in
the course of the discussions in both
Houses shows clearly that such an inves-
tigation will almost certainly degenerate
into search for political capital. In
that event it will not command pub
lie confidence, and will therefore be of
no value.

people suppose I can do something for
them though am only a humble passen-
ger in the municipal ship, and have no
one to whom | can say with authority,
do this or do that.
The money that goes into. Jack Tim
berton's shop and into the tills of all
others like him is desperately needed at
the homes of the men who spend their
wages there. But for these shops all this
money and much more that would be
earned by sober, steady workers would
go into other shops for food and clothes
and shoes and other needful supplies and
if any were left over it would go into
savings banks, to go by and by into a
nice house where the worker and his
family have house of their own.
[ was walking in an English town di-
rectly behind two workingmen who were
talking freely about this and that. By
and by one of them said:
''There's the White Hart let's go in

such places"

fellow. When I've taken glass or two
of whiskey L feel strong enough to knock
house down"
And by not taking whiskey have
been able to Put two houses up; is MT
that better?
| ask our friends, nice men all of them
who long for the return of the old rum
times, whether it lis better to knock
houses down, by the drink or up by
letting drink alone?
The late John B. Cummings told me
this story of one of his working men.
The Cummings Brothers & Brock were
great carpenters and builders here fifty
years ago, in the old rum time. John B.
said their best workmen could not keep
his hands off liquor when opportunity
offered. He had the highest wages but
they never paid him a penny. Every
penny he got went for rum. The wages
were passed to the credit of the wife, but
would get it if she had any. The wife
gave orders for all family supplies. Mat
tiers were in this shape when the Maine
Law came. Some years after | met John
B. in Cumberland street. He stopped
me and said:
Do you remember the story told you
about James Nokes one of our work
men?
Yes I recollect it very well, but what
of him?
Do you see that large two storied
double house, nicely painted? We'll,
that belongs to James Nokes; he built
it with no help except from the money
he earned and saved. 1t has four tene-
ments, good ones, in one of them he
lives in comfort with his family and rents
the others for good round sum. The
grog shops were driven out of his way
into low, dirty streets where he did not
follow them; he became sober man and
a successful builder on his own account
and is now an Industrious, respectable
citizen. That is only one case of great
many similar ones; and ask our nice
friends of the old rum time in all serious
ness, whether they prove prohibition to
be good thing or a bad one? Good or
bad for men and families and for the
business and prosperity Of the city?

The English Liberals have made
some gains in the elections SO far but
they are not large enough to make it GER
tain that Gladstone will be the next
premier, while on the other hand they
are small enough to make it practically
certain that if he is premier he will have
to depend upon the Irish members for a
majority in the Commons. 1t is needless
to say that the result is great disap-
pointment to the Gladstonians who ex-
pected to have enough seats to render
them independent of the Irish. The
cause of the Liberal disappointment is
not far to seek. The truth probably is
that Homerule has ceased to be popular
cry in England. There was time no
doubt when the country could have been
carried by large majority on that
cry. But its potency began to
decline when the Parnell scan
dial cropped out, and the unseemly
quarrel between the Parnellites and anti
Parnellites still further reduced it. The
spectacle of the Irish people settling
their political differences by breaking
one another's heads led good many of
the English electors to revise their opin-
IN of the. capacity of the Irish for self
eminent, with the result that Home
lost good many supporters. A
airs ago Homerule was within the
the Irish people. If they lose it,
seems likely, it will be largely on
of their own bad actions.

How Grog Shops Improve Town.

To the Editor of the Press:
Among some very nice people of Port
land there is said to be some anxiety lest
the absence of grog shops here should be
hindrance to the business of the city
and to the thrift and prosperity of the
people. We are trying to introduce new
industries here and if of the right kind
they will be most welcome to all good
citizens. A few days ago. drove over
the bridge to see the new plush factory
the walls of which, solidly built of brick
are almost ready for the roof. 1 think it
will require fifty working people Or more
to run it. A great help to the hustle and
business of the town. Every dollar it
earns land there will be great many of
them) will be SO much added to the
wealth of the city, as well as to the thrift
of the stockholders.
To build that large plush mill requires
much time and good deal of capital !;
and there will be neat little village
built up around it, like that at Cumber-
land Mills though notso large; making
employment for many workers. That is
very good thing. But grog shops can
be set running in a day or night, requir-
ing no costly plant and very little ma
chinery. To be sure they furnish no en-
ployment to workers except sheriffs,
policemen, and the nice two horse police
Wagon that now has very little to do,
running from Gorham's corner to the
lookup and the county hotel on Lincoln
street. A stock in trade costing twenty
five dollars would be sufficient to support
the rumseller and his family handsomely
the wife and daughters in a brilliant
rigout; the boys with paste diamonds
in the shirt front, in the cuffs and finger
rings. This stock could easily be re-
plenished from that famous centre of
piety, learning. refinement and culture,
(Boston) every day or two, or three times
a day it necessary, so that there would
be no loss in interest. The money com
ing into the saloon-till would come large
ly from the wages of the working men.
Three or four years ago when the Maine
Law was run in this city on Democratic
lines, a woman called at my house to ask
if anything could be done to help her.
Her husband was skilled workman
having always when sober, four dollars a
day, but none OF this came into the
family, all of it was spent at Jack Tim
berton's rum shop. She had often been
to Jacks shop and expostulated with
him, always in vain. She supported the
family, husband included, by taking in
laundry work, but she was not strong
enough for this md her health was fail
ing. She had appealed to the mayor, the
marshal and the sheriffs, but always in
vain.
This case is only one of many such ap-
peals to me for help; somehow thesa

1TuATIoN AT HOMESTEAD.

IL as can be gathered from the
ehes the situation at Homestead is
lcally this: The strikers are in ac-
possession of the Carnegie plant and
al its appurtenances. The proprietors
and their agents go there if at all only by
sufferance. The strikers declare that
they intend this state of things shall con-
tinue, even if$they, have to again resort
to force. The sheriff of Allegheny
county has been unable to raise posse
of sufficient size to take the property
from the men who have seized it by no
color of law whateversxbut simply by
force of numbers, and deliver it to it's
owners, and the governor of Pennsylvania
says that inasmuch as everything is
quiet and it does net yet officially appear
that the sheriff of Allegheny
county has exhausted all his
resources he sees no reason for the state
interfering. The proprietors of the works
are thus relegated to choice between
two courses. Either they must allow
their property to remain in the hands of
people who have seized it contrary to
law and contrary to every moral right,
or else they must hire an armed force
big enough to cope with the strikers, and
precipitate another bloody battle. If
theyschoosesthe latter and deadly col
The Portland daily press., 1892-07-11

lision ensues, as no doubt it will, they
will be denounced from one end of the
country to the other as murderers. And
yet that is the only course left to them
unless they are to abandon their proper
ty to people who have no right to it
whatever.
The public has been treated to great
deal of demagogery from high sourcesIin
connection with labor troubles, but it
has been reserved for the Governor of
pennsylvania and his sympathizers to
cap the climax. Here are millions of
dollars worth of property seized by a
mob with not the slightest color of
moral OF legal right, seized and held for
the ayowed purpose of preventing any
body working there but themselves, and
the Governor of Pennsylvania when ap-
pealed to to vindicate the laws of the
state, after the sheriff of the county has
for days tried to raise sufficient force to
do SO and failed and after he has in
formed the Governor of his utter inabil-
ity to cope with the mob, here is the
Governor of the state standing back and
calmly saying that as long as everything
is quiet, as long as there is no distur-
bance he sees no occasion for the
state to do anything. The Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania by his
conduct seems to give his adhesion to
the monstrous doctrine that if body of
strikers seize possession of the property
of their late employers and hold it
against its rightful owners it is no affair
of the States. 1t is simply private
controversy between the owners and the
usurpers which they must settle them
selves. If fight results, the state may
interpose to stop the fighting, which is
tantamount in their case to interfering
to prevent the owners recovering their
property. If such a doctrine should
gain general acceptance in this country
there could be but one resultant that
would be anarchy all over the land. Ev-
cry owner of property who employed
men would have to keep body Of armed
retainers in anticipation of the attempt
ed seizure of his property by his
workmen, and every time there
was strike there would be bloody
contest between these hired retainers
and the strikers for the possession of the
! property. Such encounters as that at
Homestead last week would soon be of
daily occurrence. The ultimate end
would inevitably be the paralysis of all
industry. Men would no longer live by
labor, but by pillage, might would usurp
the place of right and we would degener-
ate into nation of savages.
The employe can no better afford that
this doctrine should obtain general ac-
ceptance than the employer. 1t is to the
law that he frequently has to turn to OBJ
tain his rights. But if the law becomes
impotent to maintain the rights of one
class, it surely will be to maintain the
rights of another.

The Journal is authorized by Mr.. Mil
