mensity OF this great manufacturing in

Bloody violence at Homestead,

From the Philadelphia Times, July Sth.
The bloody outbreak at Mr. Carnegie's
Homestead works yesterday was SO APP
palling in its character and SO far reach
ing in its possible results that it calls for
the soberest treatment of the issue alike
in Journalism and the effort to restore
the majesty OF the law.
Whatever may be the abstract rights
OF parties, or however good citizens may
syInpathize with the struggle OF working
men to attain what they assume and be-
lieve to be their rights, the paramount
duty of all is to enforce the law in it's
omnipotence without fear, favor or affec-
ton
An assault upon the right of property,
or the right to employ or to accept ems
poyment, is an assault upon the rights
of every citizen of the State, from the
most opuent to the most humble. There
is safety to person and to property only
in obedience to law; and there can be no
peace, no tranquility, no safety while
disputes of any kind can be carried to
lawlessness and bloodshed.
When such an issue is presented, no
sworn officer of the peace, from the Gov
ernor down to the Constable, can pause
| to inquire into the real or imaginary
grievances which have bred riot and
death; and only when order shall have
been restored can the disturbing causes
be inquired into Thus the dispute be-
tween the Carnegie managers and the
locked>out working men is absorbed and
swallowed up in the paramount duty OF
restoring law and order at Homestead.
1t is safe to assume that while Cover
nor Pattison will perform his whole duty
in asserting the supremacy of the law
he will insist that the civil power of the
county shall exhaust its resources before
an appeal to the military arm. and will
scrupulously guard against any needless
provocation to violence if he must send
the military to the scene of disorder. II
there shall be violence after the author
ity of the State shall be declared, it
must be by wanton and reckless disar-
der on the part of the disturbers of the
peace.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1892-07-14

Shortly after the flight from Washing
ton of Ryan, the ex-express messenger,
who embezzled $4,000 from the United
States Express Company, dispatch was
received in Berlin, Germany, asking the
German authorities to arrest him if he
should attempt to enter that country.
1t is understood that the German Gov
eminent would not have taken Ryan
into custody had he appeared in that
country, as the offense with which he is
charged does not come under the pro-
visions of the extradition treaty between
German and the United States.

A Pleasant Occasion.

with a most bountiful repast served in
themost graceful style. All went away
charmed with their fair entertainers.

A BIG Loan

The Shenandoah Furnace Company
Title and Trust Company, trustee, to
secure loan of $3.50, 900. This, we take
it, means a resumption of active opera
tions on the part of the Shenandoah
Furnace Company, at Shenandoah, in
volving probably not the putting in
blast of the Gem Furnace, but the COM
pletion and operation of the large roll
ing mill at that place, and the building
of the projected railroad from Shenan-
doah to the iron mines of the company
ON the other side of the river, nearly
opposite Grove Hill. We congratulate
the citizens of our sister city upon SO
favorable an outlook.-I0ge Courier.
In every department of business and
from Ocean to Ocean, there is demand
for efficient, sober and reliable men.
There are thousands of people out of
employment, but they are sadly deficient
in these essentials Such a condition
needs solution, and thoughtful men
should give it their earnest attention.
There is an innumerable company of
amateurs in the business world-coun>
terfeits of the most fragrant kind-who
have sufficient assurance to compete with
thoroughly trained men in all vocations.
Weed out the spurious article.
