II "every field Of waving grain

money for the railroads so that they
can afford to buy voters in Tennessee

A DAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.

One of the incidents of the military
occupancy Of Homestead, Pa, is the
punishment recently inflicted upon q
private in the militia service for the
expression Of sympathy with the at
tempted assassination Of, Mr.. Frick.
THE ADVOCATE does not wish to be
understood as speaking in approval
of that cowardly act; nor do we wish
to be understood as expressing sp-
proval Of the act of the soldier in
question.
There are many reasons to doubt
both the wisdom of and the authority
for the use of military forces in guard
ing private property under such cir
cumstances as have prompted the oc-
cupancy of Homestead, but this ques-
tion need not be discussed in this
connection. When the use Of military
forces becomes necessary, no reason
able man will question the import
ance of maintaining proper discipline,
or Of the use of such reasonable. means
as are necessary to that end. That
such an example of cruelty and abso-
Lutte brutality as that recently prac-
ticed by Col. Streetor at Homestead
is necessary, especially in time Of
peace, the American people will be
slow to believe. The most complete
report of the outrage we have seen is
in the Globe. Democrat OF July 20
which is as follows:
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 24-Thomas IamS,
private OF Company X, Seventh Regiment, Is II
disgrace, as result Of his approval Of AnarchlS
Bergman's attempt to kill Chairman Frick yes
terday. When Iams heard the news late In th'
afternoon he said to other members Of his com
pany:
"BOys, let's give three cheers for the man whC
shot Frick, h0orah."
Col. Streetor walked to where IamS stood.
"YOung man, what did you mean by thatP"
Iams looked down Sulkily aud answered: y
meant that was glad that Frick was shot, an'
am, too"
"Now, my friend, you are q soldier, and yo'
have no business to make such remarks. Doyo'
want to retract lt9"

anything Gaid that really meant"

1T Is A POOR RULE THAT WILL NOT
WORK BOTH WAYS.

Tom Reed, in a recent speech,
made the following statement:
There Is another class with whom have no
sympathy, and that is the class who desire TO de-
base the currency for the purpose Of paying
their debts In cheaper coin than that in which
they had contracted them. These men are will
ing to ruin the country for their own temporary
benefit.
And every pin-headed Republican
editor and political demagOgue echoes
the sentiment During and after the
war the bonds of the United States
