Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-12-31

The year 1892 has contributed it's full
share to future history; yet it has in the
main been period of peace. The ever
present European war cloud seems to have
dwindled awsy to the size of mans hand,
while the only haze that threatened to en-
broil the United States with a foreign
power was dissipated almost at the thresh-
Did of the year
The political campaign recently closed
was remarkable, both for its lack of ex-
citement and for its remarkable result.
Huge combines of capital, of which the
Reading is the most conspicuous, are put
ting new face upon the commercial sys-
tenn. Social and religious movements have
marked the year, while outbursts of law
lessness, both at home and abroad, have set
people to thinking. Science has won many
a victory, especially in the fields of astron-
omy and geography. Even in the matter
of sports the year has been most note
worthy, more than one champion having
yielded his laurels, while almost every old
record has given way to q new one.
More history has been made in Pittsburg
and its environs this year than in any other
American city. There has been no other
calamity SO dramatic as the wave of flame
and flood which overwhelmed Oil City and
Iitusyille. The social crusade has been
heme for press and pulpit all over the land
But the one great, far-reaching event of the
year is, unquestionably, the Battle OF
Homestead. Its long train of consequences
direct and indirect, is seemingly endless
That struggle figured in the bloodshed of
Ceur d. Alene, the car burning at Buffalo
and the civil war in Tennessee. 1t gave
labor battle cry, and it also furnished
anarchy its opportunity. 1t marked the
beginning of the most bitter struggle of the
year between labor and capital; gave birth
to a long series of trials for murder and riot;
involved charges of treason in arms and
massacre by poison. More important still,
the Battle of Homestead will have its effect
on the legislation of the future.
Yes, 1892 has been memorable year. Its
detailed history will appear in the chronol-
ogy which follows:
