that in accordance with orders from the
Carnegie's and Pinkerton detective
agency, workinen were engaged in re-

use at Homestead. The telegram further
stated that the cars were being made
bullet and fireproof, with numerous
rife holes provided; that each car il be-
ing stocked with rations sufficient to
feed small army several days. Accord
ing to advices received at late hour,
the Pinkertons were preparing to place
! the cars in charge of from 800 to 400
armed men, and just as soon as every
thing is in readiness to put out for the
scene of hostility. OF course, the
receipt of this news, coming
as ii did, from what the men consider
reliable sources, has caused general
excitement. Committees have been APP
pointed to watch carefully every train
approaching the place, while several re-
liable men have gone to Pittsburg,
where they will take mp their posts IN

A Mad Dog Scare.

CLAY Cry, Hls., July ga mad dog
appeared on the farm Of David Baylor,
who lives six miles southwest of this
place, about twelve days ago, and bit
two fine steers and a mule belonging to
him. The steers and mule have since
gone mad and were killed. A great
many people visited the farm and saw
the animals suffering with the terrible
tortnres of hydrophobia for the first
times, as it il the first Of the kind known
here in the last half century. The farm
ers are guarding their cattle and watch

mad brute might have bitten some other
dogs or cattle before he was discovered

knows where thedog came from.

WASHINGTON, July 9.--The last act of
President Harrison before leaving the

A NIGHT or wATcHFuLNEss.

Armed Guards Of AmaIgamated workers
Patrol the Homestead Works.
HOMESTEAD, July 9.--It was night
of watchfulness. AT every conceivable
point about the famous steel plant stood
men who by their actions of the last
sesenty-two hours have proven fully and
beyond question, their fidelity to the
cause for which 1000 men have placed
their lives as scrifce in order that vic
tory might be perched on the side of or
organized labor. In Homestead those
strong armed end warm hearted men
who handled muskets and kept up con-
f6nuous fire OF seventeen hours duration,
are called the "brave heroes and
champions OF organized labor.
The general public can scarcely
be made to believe the conduct OF
the local steel workers, but when it is
considered that seven out Of every ten
Of them have families, own homes and
have been accustomed to enjoy the
peacefulness Of their domestic cares, one
can readily grasp the causes leading to
the present conflict.
At midnight your representative, in
company with a squad OF men, paid q
visit through the principal sections Of
the plant. just as we had stepped upon
the platform leading from the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston railroad
trestle to the works, the sound Of a
mans voice cried HALT who goes
there?n Satisfactory explanations were
made and we were allowed to 90 on our
way. AT every one hundred yards or I'D
men were on watch and should any
more boats Or barges have landed there
were enough men about the place to re-
pulse any sudden attack One Of the
striking features Is to be found in
closely examining into the innernoet
details Of the organization formed by
the men. Military companies with
all their training and with all
the tactics of war could hardly
surpass the perfection Or the
working Of the Homestead army of
wage earners. There is not man in
ignorance Of all proposed actions and the
secret system Of signals Is such as to put
everyone on their guard within Ave min
utes notice. The promptness with which
the guards suspicious were aroused. the
I cagerness OF everyone to remain right al
!, the front plainly showed the jealous.

arrived at Jersey City from Pittsburg at
$50 q. m. with s72 of the bruised and
battered Pinkerton detectives driven out

SAW CARNEGIE.
The Principal Owner Of the Big stee
Plant Refuses TO Talk.

LONDON, July 9. "A correspondent of
the United Press has been tracing Mr..
Andrew Carnegie, with the object of
getting his views about the struggle ut
Homestead. Mr.. Carnegie was found at
length, ait Braemer, In Aberdeenshire
He appeared to be In excellent health,
but was evidently iaboring under great
agitation, so much 90 that Mrs. Carne-
gle, who was present. was endeavoring
to soothe him and to draw his thoughts
away from the tragic affair at Home
stead. Mr.. Carnegie positively declined
making any statement whatever. He
has in the last day or two Gent and re-
ceived many cableernfns, and what may
be said Id America there Is no doubt
that Mr.. Carnegie Is kept fully informed
of events at Homestead. The news Of
the sanguinary struggle at Homestead
has aroused deepifeeling in England, and
has considerably abated the esteem
among the working classes for Mr.. Car
negie. Heswas never popular among
the upper classes, not because of his
plebian origin, but because, although an
American citizen, he persistently inter
fered with British affairs and tried to
tell people their own business. They
are not sorry that Mr.. Carnegie's Uto.
plan description Of the way he would
like things established have received q
practical~ illustration from America.
There Is q strong feeling in Aberdeen
against the acceptance of Mr.. Carnegie's
recent gift. The Aberdeen people, high
and low, are very proudof their city and
its history and they do not like the idea
of the city council catering to Carnegie,
whom many Of them regard as a par.
venu unworthy of recognition. In
Aberdeen this feeling is very strong and
coupled with the prejudice raised among
workingmen may result in a formal pro
test against the honors to Carnegie.

ness which characterized their actions.
The Ire OF the iron and steel workers
IN every part of the Pittsburg and
Mahoning and Shenango valley districts
is apparently aroused, as the leaders
here have been notified that the assist
ance of at least 5000 men can be secured.
AT I D. m. depntation Of twenty men
arrived at headquarters and notified
those present that 1000 men from the

and about Homestead, and no trouble
has been experienced in securing suffi-
cient number for guard duty. Every
rail and wagon road leading into the
town is patrolled by armed men, while
both banks of the Monongahela river

the Carnegie works. more than eleven
miles in all. are watched by determined
sentinels. These guards have been given
instructions to question all suspicious
looking characters, and they are doing
the duty imposed upon them like trained
soldiers. The deep interest displayed by
all the locked out men in the trouble is
manifested by their willingness to do all
that is possible to help the cause and the
orders OF the leaders are obeyed without
mnrmur. The locked out men are now

a REPUBLICAN ARGUMENT. y

THE HERALD has ever regretted the one
method of argument adopted by some of
the Republican stump speakers and news
papers in this territory in discussing the
relative claims of the respective national
political parties to the support of the peo-
pie of Utah. 1t has been claimed more
than once that the Mormon people should
give their allegiance to the Republican
party, because the Democratic party was
responsible for the wrongs inflicted upon
the Mormon people in Missouri. This is an
appeal to both the prejudice and passion of
the people. 1t is method Of argument un-
worthy of men who have faith in the in
trinsic value of the doctrines they have to
teach. 1t is the resort of the demagogue.
the low and the vicious, and is unbecoming
in men of standing and can scarcely be
conceived of in connection with men of
character.
Not only is it method of argument
which cannot be too severely censured, but
it is contrary to the facts in the case.
JOSEPH SMITH himself denied in his day the
responsibility of either political party fol-
those deplorable circumstances which led
to the expulsion OF the Saints from Mis-
souri,. He said in letter dated at Com
merce, Ills, May II, 1889: ave have moi
at any time thought there was any polit-
lcal party, as such, chargeable with the
Missouri barbarities. neither any religious
society, as such. They were committed by
| a mob composed of all parties. regardless:
Of all difference of opinion, either politica
or religious" Nor was this said without
consideration, for at later date he re.
peated these views and added: 1--WE con
slider that in making these remarke we ex
press the sentiments of the church in gen
eral, as well as our own individually, ant
also when we say in conclusion, tina
we feel the fullest confidence tina
when the subject of our wrongs ha
been fully investigated by the authoritie
of the United States, we shall receive tn
fullest justice at their hands, whilst on
unfeeling oppressors shall be brought t
condign punishment, with the appreciation
of free and enlightened people withou
respect to sect or y."-Cdnnon's Lii
of Joseph Smith, D. 290.
Surely this should stop all controvers
on this subject. No higher authority ca
be appealed TO, and it is against those VIII
claim that the Democratic party or an
other party was responsible for the ou
RACES perpetrated on the Mormon people i
Missouri.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-05-13

making the atmosphere lurid with their
imprecations upon the head of the gentle
man for presuming to think that because
he is rich he can get what he wants in .he
way of Office. This is all very funny when
read in connection with the well known
history of the state in the matter of dispos-
ing Of Congressional honors. Whether or
not it is true for many years the popular
understanding has been that about the
only things Nevada had to sell were the
offices. So general has been this impress
sion that anybody would have been justi-
field in sending in his bid for what he
wanted, and he might also have regarded
himself as philanthropist in that he was
helping to keep the machine creased"
The present outburst of Indignation on
the part of portion of the press suggests
either new men, unfamiliar with the
Nevada way of doing things, occupy the
editorial chairs, or that Mr.. NEwLANDs has
rot thought the "kicking' papers worth
consulting in any arrangements he may
contemplate entering into regarding what
\ he wauta
