Protection Is No. Responsible,

We regret to notice that some of our
Democratic contemporaries are treating
the Homestead incident in a partisan
fashion, for which there is no excuse.
They assume that because Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie and his associates at Home
stead have been engaged in an indus
try protected by the tariff, and because
a dispute as to wages has arisen between
the employers and employed, protection
is responsible for the Homestead muir
ders and mischiefs. In congress, too,
certain persons who suppose themselves
to be Democrats have insisted upon this
view.
If strikes were never heard of in un-
protected industries, if in fact the
greatest strikes in the country had not
occurred in unprotected industries like
the steam railroads and the horse rail-
roads, if free trade in England were not
a country of strikes, and if all these
facts were not known to everybody with
education enough to read large print,
these assumptions might be worth con-
tradicting As the case is, they are so
farfetched and wildly absurd that we
fear they will bring discredit upon the
Democrats in the national campaign

A CLEVER CONFEDERATE.
Tue Ingenious Ruse by Which He Secured
|. Horse.


Tho confederate cavalryman was
often puzzled as to how to provide him
belf with horse. The authorities gave
him the choice to keep mounted or go
into the ranks with his musl1et, as
horses were not furnished by the gov
eminent. To be dismounted and be-
come a foot soldier was worse to him
than court-martial, and he would
risk much in his efforts to get a horse
from the enemy.
In the fall of 1868 confederate caval-
ryman had his horse killed in skirmish
near Walrenton, and as his best chance
was then to capture one from the enemy
he put his wits to work to devise the
ways and means He was with the
outside pickets, and not far off, on the
pike, were the cavalry pickets of the
enemy. He procured piece of tele..
graph wire from the railroad, and when
twilight came on stretched this across
the road, fastening one end to the
fence and the other end to convenient
tree just high enough to catch caval-,
ryman about the belt When matters
were thus arranged to his liking, he,
started down the pike and stopped in,
plain view of the enemy.
1t was not long before three of them,
gave chase mounted on good horses. It
was now too dark for them to see the
wires, and on they came, determined,
to have a prisoner. The chase was
sharp, and quickly over, SO that by the
time the rebel schemer had passed
through, and under his trap, the enemy
was upon him.
The sequel is not hard to guess. Two
of the pursuers were quickly endorsed,
the third being SO much atonished and
frightened at their fate as to turn and
beat hasty retreat The two horses,
without their riders, continued down
the road, and We're easily captured by
the confederate, who, by his clever
ruse, became their owner, and kept his
place in the cavalry.
The two pickets left to themselves,
hurriedly made their way back to their
comrades as crestfallen and astonished
as two men could well be. The hero of
this incident tells the tale himself, and
adds that he rode one of these horses
to Appomattox. and from there to his
home, and that it was one of the best
he ever owned. Washington Post
