WHO Is EEsPONsIBLE?

Who is to blame? This question is
asked by many after reading the bewil-
dering tale Of violence, bloodshed and
death that crowded the telegraph wires
yesterday and was, and is, the one topic
Of general interest.
Though the violation OF law was
theirs, few are inclined to Judge the
5000 locked-out wo-kmen harshly.
All recognize the fact that had the
men and their friends remained passive
and quiet and obedient to law and or
der there would have been no disorder.
But il is a case Of put yourself in their
place-with wages already at rock bot
tom and twenty per cent. reduction
demanded and followed up by dis
charge. Hence, conservative men still
ask, Who is really 10 blame for the
fearful scenes at Homestead yesterday?
Many blame the CARNEGIES, or their
managers, who had had experience
enough in such matters 10 have known
that they might more safely have
Haunted a crimson flag in the eyes Of a
mad bull than TO have attempted to
bring Pinkerton men to their works
at Homestead, and that the lives OF
these men would be valueless in the
hands Of the Homestead mob.
1t was a cruel and imprudent act to
bring these hirelings, whom it is alleged
were not even sworn in as deputies, to
Homestead to cow the workmen into
submission, and it was their presence
which precipitated the conflict Of yes
terday.
The Pinkertons were paid to fight
and they fought Seven of them were
killed and a score and more badly
wounded. The bringing Of the Pinker-
tons TO Homestead in such a manner
closely resembles a wanton sacrifice of
human life, as the total death list
attests.
Gov. PArrSoN acted wisely in de-
clining TO order the militia 10 the scene.
1t is doubtful il the Pittsburg troops
would have responded, and if they had
il would simply have added to the horror
OF the carnage.
1t is certain that no peaceable Settle-
ment can be reached at this stage and
it is unlikely that the CARNEGIE's will
give up the fight; so it Will require the
most active vigilance and the shrewdest
management on the part Of the author
tiles to prevent a recurrence Of the
frightful affair of yesterday.

men hope by this means to blow up the
Pinkertons,
1t looks as If the imprisoned detect
ives will never escape alive II night
fall comes and there is no rescue. The
men have another cannon which they
are shooting over the bank. As yet 1t
is sighted too high and the broken pig
iron used in the place of cannon balls

Pinkertons raised another white flag at
$50 o'clock. The arm OF the fellow
who raised it was hit with bullet.
A striker gained admission sinto the
pump house over the barges and shot
twice before a volley from the barge
drove him out He believes he killed
guard.
This afternoon the strikers captured
a six hundred gallon oil tank at the east
end of the works at Munhall station.
The stuff was set on fire and let into
the river, but strong wind blowing IN
the opposite direction saved the barges,
a few yards below. Shots were fired
from the boats and returned by the
strikers. One man On the boat was
seen to fall overheard, but his comrades
being afraid to expose themselves to at
tempt to rescue, the man sank. The
men are threatening to capture two
other tanks and burn the barges.
There was intense excitement this
afternoon>over a report that 400 depu-
ties, in charge Of the sheriff, had LETT
Pittsburg on two barges to join the
Pinkerton people.
The cannons are bombarding the
barges every few moments, each shot
telling and carrying away pieces OF the
vessel. The Pinkertons hide and sell
dom return the fire. The steamer Lit
tie Bill which brought the barges from
the city was fired ON as it returned, but
the crew all hid. The general expecta-
ton is that there will be more trouble.

THE LYNCHING.
OF MURDERER JONES WAS A MOST DELHI
ERATE AFFAIR.
A Mob Of Twenty-Five Masked Men Conducted
the Affair." in an Orderly and Quiet
Mannr-Ths Body Riddled
with Bullets.


SPECIAL Telegram % NE Register
WESTON, w. Va, July 6-The lynching
of the cOlOred murderer, Jones, promptly at
o'clock this morning, mentioned IN yester-
days REGISTER, was probably the best and
most quietly executed affair Of its kind chat
ever took place. At midnight everything
was as quiet on the streets Of Weston
as il nothing of any Importance
had or was TO happen. But while the
friends of young Tierny, the victim, were
watching with the remains at the Com
mCrcial Hotel the determined mob, which
consisted Of perhaps twenty-five masked
men, were quietly laying their plans-so
quietly in fact, that not even
the friends of the murderer
had the slightest idea that
ne would meet his fate so soon. Promptly
az o'clock the mob congregated aud
marched 20 the Jail and knocked on the
door Jailor Williams responded and
asked, 'Wh is there!n and was told it was
the City Marshal with prisoner. He open
ed the door without any preCautiOn, when
a dozen or more pistols were promptly
presented, and keys demanded, which
were delivered up without argument.
Williams was then ordered to open the
door. which he did without further cere-
money!. The mob entered, proceeded 10
the cage in which Jones was confined, and
placed the rope around his neck He was
then started on trot down Sank Alley 10
Main street, and thence along
Main 20 Second street 10
the new iron bridge which spans the West
Fork river near the Bailey House. Here
the rope was tied 70 the railing on the
north side and the negro thrown headlong
into the water. liz was found the rope was
too long, and ne was drawn up to a distance
Of about fifteen feet from the bridge As
soon as the rope was properly secured
the mob began firing and about
forty shots were fired at the body, but only
one took effect This bullet entered the left
shoulder and penetrated the heart, defect
ing. coming out on the left chest below the
ribs. All this happened within the short
space Of about five minutes, The best or
der prevailed, and only those
who had obtained an intima-
ton of what might occur were
present 10 witness the affair. The natural
surprise of our people can only be imagined
when thew leared this morning of the terri
Die tragedy that had taken place during the
night The body remained suspended from
the bridge until about nine O'Clock this
morning and hundreds Of people viewed
it. amOngcwhOrl were the passengers on
the early morning trains from Sutton and
BuckhaunOn. Probably the most affecting
scene occurred about seven o'clock when
the funeral cOrteEe of the murdered man
passed directly over the head Of the assas-
sin as his lifcleSs body dangled in the air.
A cOroner's inquest was held and the body
delivered 20 his relatives.

LOCKING THE DOOR
after the Horse Has Departed - The
Sheriff's Proclamation.

PITrsBUG, PA, July 6.-Adiutant-Gen-
eral Greenland sent the following message
to Sheriff McCleary this afternoon:
"Your kilograms indicate that you nave
not made any attempt to execute the law
to enforce order, and must insist upon
YOU calling upon the citizens for an ade-
auate number Of deputies"
On receipt of this telegram the Sheriff
Immediately issued the following procla-
nation:
"All good citizens are hereby summoned
TO appear at the Sheriff's office tomorrow
Thursday at Q o'clock a. m, with arms
and subsistence, to aid the Sheriff in sup
pressing the riot now in progress at Home
stead. w. n. MCCLEARY, Sheriff"
In explanation of his failure to secure
additional deputies Sheriff McCleary said :
II believe it would be suicide for me TO
take nv men there. Five hundred deputies
could do no more than dozen. Besides
have been unable to secure men. They all
refuse to CO.
The issuance Of the proclamation caused
a good deal of comment on the streets and
the opinion was frequently advanced that
the movement was tardy. II was claimed
that the meeting should have been called
early in the day. and the assertion was
made that the calling of meeting for to-
morrow was very like locking the stable
door after the horse was gone.

GLAD to Get Back.

PIrTsBURG, PA, July 6.-Sheriff Nc
Cleary and ex-Sheriffs Gray and Cluley
visited Homestead yesterday, and held
a consultation with the Advisory Com
mittee and returned to Pttsburg.
Laterin the day dozen deputies sc-

Homestead and were met by about
1000 men. The deputies were escorted
to the Amalgamated Association head
quarters and locked up in room while
arrangements were made to safely con-
duct them out OF town. About 5
o'clock they were escorted to the river
baak and all went on board the steam
launch Edna and returned 10 the city.
One and all OF them seemed glad to be
allowed to depart without any trouble.
Every train that came into Home
stead last night was met by crowd OF
about 200 meh, and all those who land
ed were carefully watched. As fast as

PIrTsBURG, PA, July 6.-The Car

we're routed and his proclamation torn
down. The sheriff then, through his
chief deputy, attempted to take in 800
of our watchmen, who were sent to the
works by boat last night. These men
were met more than mile below the
works by an armed mob of Amalgama-
ted men who followed along the river
bank and fired rifles and revovers at
the boats. This shooting was continu-
Gus for twenty-five minutes before one
shot was returned from the boats.
which was not until the boats were tied
up at our landing.
son the arrival Of the boats the mob
tore down a large portion OF the fence
about the works and filed the bluff
above the landing, keeping up con-
tinuous fire and wounding three OF the
watchmen. Then, and not until then,
was the fire returned, resulting, we are
advised, in some loss OF life.
THE mob was so large as to prevent
the landing OF the guards, who are at
this time on the boats awaiting orders
from the authorities. We are not taking
any active part in the matter at present
as we cannot interfere with the Sheriff
in the discharge of his duty, and are
now awaiting his further action"

THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN,

In response to a request from the
New York World Hon. WILLIAM L.
WILSON thus sets forth the issues OF
the p>&sent campaign:
The victories which the Democratic
party has gained in dazzling and un6roken
succession since its reverse 10 1888 snow

surest road 10 victory. The tariff issue
was never more plainly made between the
If the political battles OF the past four
wears show anything they show that on
this issue the American people are with
the Democratic party. We have but 10 80
forward
A lust system OF taxation is so nearly a
complete definition Of free government
that unhesitatingly put 10 at the 'front.'.
There would be no menace of force bills il
great pecuniary interests were not staked
on every election So long as the control
of government Is sought for the purpose of
pilinp I'D private wealth we shall have con-
slant attempts 10 secure that control IN
some surer and cheaper way than by pop
uiar elections. The Tribune frankly de-
clared when the Lodge bill was pending in
the House that IL carried within itself a
hundred tariff bills.
Although the Force oil is the child Of
.McKinleylsm, il makes In itself the great
issue In some of the Southern States,
where it means negro domination and
return OF carpet-bag rule through cleo
tons controlled from Washington, and 1t
.suomir is ,ue anywhere in the country.
There should be the great and general
issues on which the campaign should be
fought by the Democratic party, and sue
cess lies in its forcing the fighting upon
both of them. Other aud less national
questions will be blended with them,
and al in all the coming political battle
promises 70 be memorable one.
Hon. lsDoR RAYNoR, Of Maryland,
thus terseley puts the tariff issue:
As long as Custom House taxation exists
aid as long as the Government depends Tor
its revenues upon import duties, so long IS
free trade practical impOsSloitily.
We are pledged. if we Ootainsthe power, to
repeal the Mckinley bill and 20 lower du-
ties all along the line as far as possible up
on every article Of Necessary consumption.
The Republican party is pledged 70 protect
monopoly without regard 70 the interest OF
the American consumer.
Upon these lines the Democratic
campaign is conducted. IL is fight
free and honest elections against
dfraud at Che pells; for prOtec-
the American consumer and
aiugman against protection ioI the
-Ierican monopOlist alone. President
HARRISON is an advocate of subsidies
AID bounties; ne is the leading cham
pion Of class legislation; he is the en-
bodiment OF principles dangerous TO
American institutions. Every opponent
OF subsidies, bounties, and class legisla-
ion should array himself against the
election OF Mr. HARRISON. The
lemocratic cause is the peoples cause;
Is battle for the rights Of the masses.
