rITTsBURG. MONDAY. AUGUST 15 1892.
LAwLEsSNEss AT BUFFALO.

The first day of the switchmen's strike
at Buffalo was inaugurated by suspicious
CONGREGATIONS that destroyed valuable
railroad property. Whether these unlaw-
ful acts were the work of the strikers or a
reckless criminal class who believe
that the cause of labor can be
benefited by a resort to violence remains
10 be determined. If the latter, the work
ers can earn the sympathy of the public
by aiding the authorities in arresting and
convicting the guilty parties
It is useless to discuss the equities of the
dispute between the men in the corpora
tioHS when such acts of reckless criminal
ity have attached to the strike Men who
are standing up in support of their wages
and either commit acts, or permit them to
be committed, which expose the travelling
public to danger by the wanton destruc-
tion Of railway property are not fighting
the cause of labor We cannot believe
that any organization Of workingmen
would sanction such acts as those reported
in our dispatches from Buffalo. But the
men who commit them and those who
tolerate them are alike enemies of society,"
The first thing to be done when law is
defied and criminal acts are resorted to in
q labor dispute is to restore the law All
the power of the State must be exerted to
make it understood that the law is supreme
and that public rights must be respected.
When that is done the right and wrong of
the dispute about wages can be discussed
and settled on its merits.

A CONSERVATIVE BLUNDER,

One feature of the Conservative attack
upon Gladstone's success is so much in
the nature of boomerang that it should
not pass without notice. The Conservative
organs and orators impeach the Liberal
victory because its vote is made up of
units disagreeing on various points of En-
glish politics. Gladstone's majority in
cludes Liberals, Nationalist, Welsh dis
senters, ParneIlites and Labor men. This
union of votes the Conservatives conceive
to be an eligible raw material for taunting
the Liberals.
Yet any but the Tory mind might after
a moments reflection perceive that the
taunt is on the other side, if anywhere.
These five classes of political opinion vary
in different degrees on large number of
topics 1t may be doubtful whether on the
vast majority of political topics the entire
$50 could be brought into exact agree
ment; and it is likely that these
divergencies will make the task of Glad
stones Cabinet very difficult one. But
these differing shades of opinion, race and
interest all came together in exact agree
ment on one point. They wanted no
more of the Salisbury administration, and
in that union they represented the voice
of the English people.
1t is one of the curiosities of political
controversies that the Tory press would
impeach the Liberals because the different
parties which it may be impossible to
unite on any other topic came together
with cohesion and promptness on the
platform that the Conservative Govern
ment and policy will not do.

INTERESTING BUT IMAGINATIVE.

in connection with the recent report
that Judge Gresham would make a speech
in favor of the Peoples Party, the WASH
iUgton Post produces from the anonymous
depths story exceedingly interesting. 1t
is that at the time Gresham's name was
talked of for the Peoples Party nomina-
ton a meeting of prominent Republicans
. was held in Washington, at which grand
coup was resolved upon, in case he should
ne minated Minated and Should carry enough
electoral votes to throw the contest into
The House If the election goes to the
House. it makes CleYeland's election a
foregone conclusion. The secret Repub-
lican decision was therefore to instruct all
Republican electors to throw their votes
1or Gresham, electing him for the sake of
defeating Cleveland
The first effect of this story is to evoke a
wish that Gresham had been nominated.
But as the method proposed involves a
fundamental question as to the function
of electors, il Is worth while to inquire
whether it is possible. 1t is evident that
there is nothing unconstitutional in Re-
publican electors voting for Gresham.
The theory of the written Constitution
Is that each elector shall vote for
whom he chooses. But custom
has established the law that
the elector must vote for the candidate of
his party. That law Is so powerful that no
electOr has thought of disobeying it for
three-quarters of a century. That electors
should be merely the puppets for register
ing the popular will is not an entirely fatal
Impeachment of their ignity. But when
we are confronted with a report that
would make them merely puppets at the
order Of secret cOnclaVe of m anaging
politicians we are led to ask whether the
Republican managers would have the
electors 50 completely under their thumb
as to be able to deliver the goods as pro-
posed.
There is another strong reason for doubt
inc the possibility of any such scheme
The Hon. Benjamin Harrison is understood
% have a good deal of influence in this
rampaigu; and it is a grave question
neither that gentleman would prefer to be
cceeded by Judge Gresham rather than
Grover Cleveland

In preparing for the uphill Congressional
2400. the Democrats of the Eighteenth Ohio
district seem disposed to adopt the good
policy of securing good leadership. We OBJ.
serve that the name of Anthony Howells is
prominently mentioned. Mr.. Howells is
well known as a Democratic leader of high
character, a creditable State Senator and
large employer of labor who has never had
trouble with his employees. If Mr.. Howells
should be nominated the Democracy of that
district would have very strong candidate.
The same can be said of John Mcbride, the
well-known leader of the miners organiza-
tion. We do not think there is any fear that
this manufacturing district will send re-
enforcement to the Democrats in Congress,
but it is no less commendable to see the
minority party putting forward good candi-
dates
