The sympathizers with the electric street
car strikers in Pittsburg, on Saturday, con-
nnued to annoy the company by placing OBJ
structons on the tracks and occasionally
throwing stones from dark alleys. About
thirty cars were ruI.1ing. each with two
policemen on board, but they were not well
patronized. To prevent trouble all the
saloons in the lower portion of Allegheny
were closed, and an extra force of police
patrolled the streets. The cars were again
attacked by mob last night, and woman
passenger and a policeman were seriously
hurt by stones which were thrown. For
time travel was suspended, but the police
dispersed the mob. The strikers disclaim

evil you say that the Chinese exclusion
bill introduced in congress last week meets
with our unqualified indorsementl' said a
prominent knight of Labor to the labor
man yesterday 1--WE have examined the
bill closely, and find that tits absolutely
faultless, and covers. every possible technic-
atty, and it is possible that the knights of
Labor, as well as the various other labor
unions of Fort Worth, will ask our senator's
and repres natives to support it. This
Chinese exclusion bill, or one of a like
nature, will do more toward protecting
American workingmen than all the tariffs
on the calendar. With its passage and
rigid enforcement, coupled with our alien
contract laws, we may hope that while
America is for Americans, American work
will be given to American labor"
The editor of this department agrees with
and indorses the gentleman quoted above.
American skilled labor Cor unskilled labor
for that matter,) should never be forced
into competition with the italian and
Chinese paupers who, but for these re-
straining laws, would swarm our shores
like vultures ioclzing to the feast. Were
Chinese labor suffered to freely compete
with our American workingmen, one of two
results would ensue: the skilled labor of
to-day would descend TO the level of the
Chinese, or there would be revolution and
numerous repetitions of the New Orleans
Malta incident. It would not be possible
to bring the Chinee up to the American
standard of competency as a workman. Be-
sides these facts, condition confronts the
American people to-day which is not so
easily solved as this Chinese question, and
that is the plain, obvious, evident fact that
we already have more laborers than there
is labor. This is true in double ratio,
perhaps, if we except the avocation of
farming, and the men who have served ap-
in the various departments
Of skilled labor, and have become |
iourneymen at the various trades, will not |
desert those trades to begin life on farm, |
any more than we could expect or advise |
the farmer to leave his pillow in the drouth- |
time and come to thu city to start life over |
lgain as a carpenter or blacksmith War; |
oestilence and famine have passed this |
country by for number of years, and the |
surplus population have overrun all |
branches of labor and the professions, and |
t should be the duty of the American to
zee that American work is performed by |
American labor. This is the elementary
principle of our national maxim, "Patron-

tect AnsHcan working men. In the mines
surrounding Scranton, it was found that
nine-tenths of the miners at present en-
ploYed, are Hungarians, Italians and Slavs
Five years ago the miners there were nearly
all Americans. At the Arion mine, in
Western Pennsylvania, Mai Osborne
learned that Hungarian and Italian immi-
grants come there in squads of 200 at a
time, direct from the barge Office in this
city, under charge Of padrones. At
the mines near Carbonate, in
1856, there were 600 miners, all
Americans. While the miners strike
was on in 1SS9-90, large numbers of Slavs
and Hungarians were brought to the mines
from Castle Garden under the protection of
Pinkerton's detectives. At the last cleo
ton out of 7S7 miners employed there were
just sixty-eight entitled to vote The in
spectors found that immigrants were
brought over from Europe in droves, passed
through the barge Office by an agent and
taken to the mines to supersede American
miners. There are several men employed
by the mine owners, whose sole duty is to
visit the barge Office and get immigrant
contract labor passed through. One man
in particular was nicknamed the "Much-
Cousin Man, . as he. would visit the barge
office and secure the release of detained
immigrants, claiming them as cousins,
brothers or other relatives. The inspectors
recommend more stringent scrutiny of i'm
migrants passing through the different
landing places. At present they say the
law is practically useless as contract la
borers pass through by thousands without
detection.

and laboEed and you have watched
and planned to insure your readiness
for the final engagement, now near at
hand. This, then, is no holiday as
sembly, but an impressive convoca-
tion.
These designs and purposes, as de-
clared by your association, are The
preservation OF the Constitution OF the
United States, the autonomy Of the
states, the self-government aud free
dom Of elections; opposition TO the
imposition Of taxes beyond the neces-
sites of the government economically
administered and the promotion Of
economy in all branches Of the public
service.
These professions embody the pur-
est patriotism and the ioftiest aspira-
tions of American citizenship, though
at all times they suggest TO us the
strongest obligations to political activ-
ity and watchfulness should be ire
sistable at a time when the constitu-
tion is held in light esteem as against
the accomplishment OF selfish purpos.
es, when State boundaries are hardly
a barrier to centralized power and
when local self government and free
dom Of elections are the scoff OF par
tisanship. Those who subscribe 10
to the creed OF this association and
make any claim to sincerity can hard
ly excuse themselves for lack OF effort
at a timewhen thenecessities OF thegov-
ernment economically administered
have but little relation to the taxation
of the people, and when extravaganza
in the public service has become u con-
tagious plague.
To those who hope for better things
this convention OF Democratic clubs ia
bright promise Of reform.
Unorganized good intentions and
idle patriotic aspirations cannot sue
cessfully contend for mastery with the
compact forces of private interests

and greed, nor is the organization al
ways the most useful which has the
widest extent. The real benefit OF po,
litical organization is found in its
nearness to the people and in the di'
rectness OF its action. OF course har'
mony and unity OF purpose are abso'
lutely essential.
In this view, your assembling to
gether is most important, in so far al
it promotes this harmony and unity by
