A GOOD WOED FOR THE HOMESTEAD
Union.

In our editorial yesterday headed Look
on This Picture and Then on That" we
concluded with the following sentences
when the secrecy Of labor unions is
sufficiently removed for the public 10 know
that peace-breakerB have been expelled
from their organizations, and when union
men come forward TO testify in court against
union men who have beaten, stoned or shot
non-union men for seeking work they have
refused. then and not till then will Dir.
Powderly's declarations carry the weight he
would no doubt wish"
we are gratifed to SEQ in the same paper.
but in another column, telegram from
pittsburg giving the following statement
The assault on the men (non-union) was
generally condemned by the leaders OF the
strikers, and especially by the Amalgatmated
Association. and they hdCs AIDED IN securing
euidence AGAINST ne persons engaged ~ ne
assault. There is no sympathy for them
either in the Amalgamated Association or
ont az il and AT the time OF assault these
towards we're reprimanded by those who
were trying TO secure a safe exit for the
PinkertOns.
This statement coming as It does from
the same source which has furnished the
lUIOTiuALlOu
based its criticisms Of the action Of the
union men at Homestead must be deeply
gratifying 10 all men who honestly desire
the welfare of working men. Believing, as
we do. that the continuance Of violence OF
union men would result not only in the
utter destruction Of unions, but in the him
derance of the free action Of those principles
upon which the rights and liberties of all
American citizens alike must rest. We have
determinedly exposed and denounced such
acts Of violence. We most cordially give
full credit TO every trustworthy statement
which tends to refute these charges. and
none can more earnestly desire the estab-
lishment Of non-interference than do we.
Itisin entire accordance with our views
that any set Of workmen, be they skilled or
unskilled, have perfect right by combi-
nation OF agreement to determine that they
will sell their labor at only such prices as
suits themselves. and that thereby those
who desire to be their employers may be re-
duced TO the necessity of begging them to
come and work at such prices. But while
the workmen have a perfect right to do 50,
they have no right and can by no pre-
tense or device assert the right, TO interfere
with any other workman who desires 10
make an agreement to do work on terms
which may be agreeable to his employer and
to him. This is our faith, and it is in conso-
nance with the American Constitution aud
with the individual rights Of every citizen.

We have received copy Of the William
and Mary College Quarterly" edited by Pro-
fessor Lyon G. Tyler, NJ A.. president of Will
ham and Mary College This isan exceedingly
valuable magazine published quarterly for
es year. It's object is to preserve from
oblivion the history of the early days Of the
Colony, to publish interesting accounts
of the institutions then existing, and in
fact anything of interest connected with
the Colonial period. In this number is a
history Of the Williamsburg Lodge Of
Masonsn from its institution IN I'LL to the
present day, "A Lost Paper of Thomas JET
ferson." by Kate Mason Rowland and
Marriage License Bonds on File in York
County Court" Everything is verified by
the old records of the counties OF York and
James City, and it may be readily seen
what vast amount of valuable instruction
this magazine contains.

n,,sox AND TIE FORCE BILL.

A number Of Republican newspapers are
nrofessing to believe that President Har
rjson will in his letter Of acceptance settle
,ho Force bill as m issue OF the campaign,
.rd aya expressing themselves 80 dogmati-
calIv on this point as to create the suspicion
that they arc exceedingly anxious to sug-
oest such a course 10 their nQpinee. Could
,hsv succeed. however. IN inducing Mr..
uoy,i.on 10 devote his letter mainly to
nroying that the Force bill was really
nothing but scare crow. as the Third par
tvites assert the country would fail to be
convinced.
Should Mr.. Harrison be bold enough TO
attempt such thing be would Immediately
DO confronted with the action of the billion
dollar Congress. the Lower House Of which.
a. soon as it had placed itself in power by
unscrupulously turning out enough honest
Neglected Democrats to insure a majority
rushed through, under Reeds rules. force
bill which placed tho South directly under
Federal control and sent the bill to the
Higher House. There the reyolutionsts
were enabled 10 destroy the Senate as de-
Lucrative body. and so the vile measure
was prevented. by discussion, from being
passed before that Infamous Congress went
out of existence But it has not yet been
forgotten how Mr. Harrison could scarcely
restrain his indignation at the failure OF the
Senate to pass it, nor his impotence to
make it law by afixing his signature to
the act.
Perhaps. however, Mr.. Harrison may Try
TO make it appear that this is ancient his
tory and has nothing to do with the exist
ing case. Should he attempt this, he will
then have to face the Republican platform
upon which he stands. and which he must
endorse. which solemnly and emphatically
declares that crimes against negroes are
committed in the South for political pur-
poses and that the Republican party pledges
itself never to remit its exeItions to have
those alleged wrongs righted. If that does
not mean that the party fnvors Force bill
and is determined to pass one if it can, what
does it mean?
The Republican party just before it lost
control of Congress in 1876 made, under the
leadership of Ben. Butler, vigorous effort
10 pass q Force bill which even gave the
President power TO suspend hsbeas corpus
in the South, and only by the masterful
tactics of Hon Samuel j. Randall, of Penn
sylvania. in the Senate. was il successfully
fought until the 4th of March put an end TO
the life of that Congress. Then when in
1889 the Radicals again came in power. as
soon as they secured control OF Congress,
they took up Force bill legislation just
where Ben. Butler and his friends had left
it fourteen years before. With these facts
fresh in The minds Of the people Mr. Harri-
son might, if he dared, declare positive
ly that be would veto outright any Force
bill the Fifty-third Congress might pass,
and no sensible man would believe him.
Force legislation is an Old Man of the Sea
to him in this campaign, whose hold he
could not, if be would, dislodge.

A MAJoR-GENERAL IN THE MILITIA

A few days back we called attention to
the fact that the Third party's candidate
for Vice President was never "Coufeder-
ate brigadier," and that he was never O sol
der Of the line at all during the war, but
a major in the Quartermaster' Department.
This was perfectly true as far as it went. but
it didnot giyethe full military record Of Quar-
termaster Field. In the year 1872 the Leg
isature Of Virginia passed an act providing
for a reorganization of Yirginia's militia,
and under the provisions of that act Gov
ernor Walker appointed Quartermaster
Field Major-GenerAl in the Virginia
militia
A most excellent gentleman in Richmond
on reading over the list Of Walkers AZ

DO FuTUKE SAFES DEFINES Prices.

The farmer argues in support Of the Anti
Option bin that when man sells wheat TO
be delivered six months after the SALE the
seller not being then the owner of any
wheat, he becomes interested TO depress the
selling price Of wheat so that he may buy
it as cheaply as possible to deliver accord
ing 10 his contract The farmer would
therefore pass an act of Congress forbidding
any person to sell wheat for future delivery
and thereby kill of a great many persons
whose business in life is the depressing Of
the price of wheat. The argument is
plausible, but fallacious as is easily shown.
Whenever a sale takes place there must be a
buyer as we'll as a seller. Whilst it is true
that the seller Of wheat for future delivery
becomes interested to depress the price Of
wheat. the buyer at that sale becomes
equally interested to raise the price Of
wheat AS there are exactly as many
buyers as sellers, each acting in an opposite
direction. these two balance each other. and
the law of supply and demand comes in and
fixes the price, and we are entirely gratifed
in ending these remarks with q. L. D.

Hon. ApLM f. STEVENSON is a fit running
mate for Hon. Grover Cleveland When he
was Assistant Postmaster General under the
last Democratic administration new quar-
tiers were needed for the postoffice at
Bloomington. Illinois. and number Of let
tiers were sent him from that place urg-
ing him to place the Office in what was
known as Stevenson block" he prompt
~ replied:
Stevenson block is owned by members
OF my own family, which fact, while sus-
tain my present position, wholly excludes il
from consideration rs a location for a post
Office. The exercise Of official power 20 pro-
mote the peouniary interest Of ones self or

possible circumstances be justified"
That sounds very Democratic and Cleve-
landish. Like his great leader, Nr. Steven.
son evidently believes that public Office is a
public trust, and not private opportunity.
