affairs last week has called forth
some dissent. We said we hoped
the Amalgamated Association will
win in the contest, and that we hold
Manager Prick more responsible
than the men them selves for the pain
full events that have ensued. We
did not mean--and probably should
have said so last week-to justify
any of the deeds of violence that
have been committed either in repel-
ling the Pinkertons or in terrorizing
non-union men. Those are matters
which the courts, and not the press,
must settle, and they must settle &C.
cording to the strict terms of the
law. But we have seen no evidence
whatever, and do not believe any ex-
lists, that makes the Association con-
structively responsible for those
deeds. On the contrary the leaders
have sworn that it was the subject of
frequent conference how to prevent
all outbursts OF violence on the part
of the men. Several considerations
must be kept in mind in forming
judgment on Mr.. Tricks conduct.
% These men had for years been
working with little or no friction
with former officials certainly with
no serious trouble such as the pres

change of management, the retire
ment of the president Abbott and
of Mr.. Carnage from active manage
ment, and the accession of Mr. Prick,
this desperate condition of things
should ensue? (2) Mr.. Frick has
been the. initiator and aggressor
throughout. 1t was he that termi-
mated. the conference with the men,
arbitrarily and domineeringly, so
much so indeed that Superintendent
Potter endeavored by persuasion to
bring them together again, persuad-
ing the men to remain, but not per-
suading Prick to return. 1t was he
that forced the contest by lockout,
not waiting for a strike. Finally, it
was he that sent for the Pinkertons
and dispatched them TO the scene of
trouble. Whatever may be said of
the legal right to do this, sending
them as watchmen, it was in the
nature of deliberate challenge to
fight to a crowd of excited men.
He had already fortified the mills,
even before the lockout, in way to
suggest to the men such achallenge,
and to arouse all their combative-in-
stincts, and when, before a threat
had been heard, or movement made
against the mills, or dimes worth
of property injured in anyway, he
dispatched a barge.load of armed
mercenaries to the scene, it was in
the nature of deliberate challenge

F. l.. Drinkwater writes as follows
from Ocean Springs, Miss: "The
Sunny South (this portion) is as
restless as bees are the day before
swarming, and the people are ready
to swarm to the support of Weaver
and Field in November, in. such
manner as will suppress the old par

them badly scared in Kansas, and
you want to look out for them--look
out for a repetition of the Coffey-
vile affair. They are desperate, and
will do anything. Murder is mat
ter of small consequence to them
compared with losing their power
over labor. Let us move in one
solid column all along the line, and
in November we will wipe the vii
lains off the face of the earth, and
there will be nothing to perpetuate
their memory but dark deeds and
villainy.
Startling Minks writes from Oma-

party is right. | had talk with a
Republican the other day, and said
to him: Suppose Uncle Sam should
become a Peoples party man, and
should build a bank and loan the
government money to the people at
2 per cent. on good security. Sup
pose two men were to buy farm
apiece, at $4,000 each. One is a
Peoples party man, and he goes to
Uncle Sans bank and borrows
money to pay for his farm. The
other man is Republican, and can't
give up his old party. He goes to
the Republican who has money to
loan per cent, and mortgages his
farm for money to pay for it. AT
the end of five years, the man who
got money of Uncle Sam will have
put into the treasury of the United
States 5000, and saved 5000 of hist
own hard earnings for his own use.
He that earns it should have it.
The Republican will have paid to
his pet $500, and has nothing saved /

WHY BIG SHOWS sHUN 1T.
The Reason That Davenport is Boy
eotted by the Barnum, Forepaugh
and Other Tented s;amhinatInns


B. F. Tillinghast, managing editor of
the Davenport Democrat, is writing his
paper series of letters from the east in
his customarily entertaining and pointed
style. ln one appearing this morning he
chats about shows, and gives a little con-
versation with "Tody" Hamilton, for IL
years Barnum's right hand man, and now
James A. Bailey's best bower. and
from i'm the correspondent obtains facts
substanciating previous explanations
OF why the Barnum shows have
not visited Davenport since 1881, coming
to Rock Island instead After stating that
the aggregation will visit Rock Island
late in the sea- on, the Democrat represen-
tative writes If the following trick once
played by Davenport on the Barnum
shows:
as the circus coming to Davenport
this season." the westerner queried
IN =, sir" responded Mr. Hamilton, with
painful frankness. Not quite crushed,
another stab was ventured, and it was
parted with equal candor
Davenport is not in it, neither for
Bsrnum & Bailey nor for Forepaugh, or
any other big show" The boycotting
business was getting locally interesting
A bottle of Lithia was opened, that was
the only persuasion Mr.. Hamilton was
Subject to, and he was induced to pro-
coed.
You remember Barnum was in Daven-
| port the day the Garfield memorial obse
quies were held in September, 1881. T. e
stand IVES out at the fair ground and Mr..
| Claussen, a Mr.. Martin, and a Mr.. Lane
were the speakers. They were all coed
oues for town of Davenports size and
L listened to their eulogies with much in
terest There was a big crowd in the
place called there by the circus and also
by the patriotic programme. We gave
| our best parade during the loren Don and
,,uld easily nave filled the tents
in the afternoon. Mind you the
daily outlay was upwards of
sc. 600 Your committee came to
the manager, and the result was that the
Barnum band plsye d for the long funeral
procession, and we didn't give an after
neon exhibition. You taxed us $500
for that evening performance and refused
to remit dollar. This is why our show
and all others go around Davenport. and
they always will keep away from that sort
| of confidence game. II can be played
once. but not twice"
| / told Mr.. Hamilton that the D4ven ,
port of today is quite another town; that
while it may have looked like burying
ground decade ago. that it is the best
city in Iowa in 1892. He wouldn't be
convinced.
