HOW To REACH THEM.

1t has been customary to take the An
archists and Nihilists in this country as a
subject Ct levity, to call them "blather-
skites," and to leave them in peace to
hatch such plots against the laws as they
may see fit The Haymarket outbreak in
Chicago and the executions and imprison-
ments which followed, afford solitary
example of an exception to the acquies-
cence referred to.
That there are many men of foreign
birth afflicted with the mental leproSy OF
Nihilism in the United States is too patent
fact to be questioned. That these men
are permitted to hold public meetings and
make inflammatory and inhuman speeches
in time of general excitement, when the
community is strung up to high nervous
pitch, is equally true.
1t is but a few days since that
notorious disturber, Johann Most,
sought to publicly incite violation
of the laws in this city. At vari-
Gus times during the continuance of the
present labor troubles in this district the
Anarchists and Socialists have flooded the
city and adjacent towns, even the camp of
the military itself, with violent incendiary
circulars
Is this protected by that clause of
the first amendment Of the Constitution
Of the United States, which prohibits the
passage by Congress of laws abridging the
freedom of speech? Perhaps; but it GER
tainly is within reach of the Seventh Sec
ton of the Constitution of Pennsylvania
which says, land every citizen may freely
speak, write and print on any subject, be-
ing responsible for the abuse of that lib
erty." 1t is therefore within the province
of the Legislature of Pennsylvania to de-
fine what that "abuse" shall consist Of and
how it shall be punished.
The coward who attempted to murder
Mr.. Frick is an admitted disciple of the
doctrine of humiliation of any person OBJ
noxious to him or his fellows. He has
openly preached this creed. He has for
years called for the destruction of life and
property without feeling the grip of the
law and at last he has himself put his
dastardly theory into cowardly practice.
1t is high time such men and such doc
trines should be driven from American
soil. The knife of the Malta and the bull
let or bomb of the Nihilist must not again
find lodgment in American victims. They
must be crushed in incipiency. To per-
NIT them to bud as theories is to permit
them to flower as assassinations.
This is no class question. The hands
of labor and of capital will clasp in hearty
accord in this demand. Definite laws,
with sweeping penalties, should stand upon
our statute books as quarantine regula-
tions and projections against these for |
eign pestilents who prey upon all order |
and authority.
There is-~a blank in our law records, |
upon which experience has written, ''This
wav lies anarchy

PlT-rsBURG. MONDAY. JULY Is. 1885,.
THE TEST OF PROFESSIONS.

The immediate effect of the dastardly
assault upon Mr.. Frick, Saturday after
noon, has been TO set aside all theoretic
discussion of the labor troubles in favor of
the ono common and determined demand
for obedience to and enforcement of the
laws in every particular.
The leaders Of the striking organization
rave expressed their share in the general
orror produced by the act and spirit of
ch Berkmann, 1t is but Justice
to recognize that the assassin is
al product of the foreign school
-chy which would plunge labor and
alike into common ruin; and that
UT organizations in the most exciting
their troubles have never consorted
th the insane malignants of the foul
larchist brood
But there is only the more urgent need
that in the further progress of affairs at
Homestead obedience to every require
ment Of the law and complete respect for
every right existing under it be henceforth
plainly visible. The Advisory Committee
Of the men have already issued to the pub
lie a solemn pledge against violence or
lswlessness in any form. Their conduct
now will be expected to correspond to
that pledge. Particularly will it be de-
manded that while they exercise for
themselves the right to work or quit
as they please, they must concede
without let or hindrance to other men pre-
~'sely the same right To assume to
event others from working is to come

the powers Of the Government, State
and Federal. This becomes prs ctically an
attack upon Government in its most vital
point; and of course is foredoomed to
utter and crushing failure wherever per-
sisted in.
The course of conduct, much more than
verbal professions, will now determine
here The labor organization stands in tbs
tier. There has been ample time for
NeratiOn. There is no room w,latso-
- doubt in ar ras to

THEY SAW A LAKE SERPENT,

Married Couple Has an Exciting tx
Perience With the Monster.
KINGSTON, ONT. July 24.-G. Parks and
wife, of Brakey's Bay, Wolfe's Island, were
out sailing on Sunday evening. They heard
q noise as if something was rushing through
the water at great rate.
They looked for the cause of the disturb
ance and saw serpent of huge size making
for their beat. Its eyes looked like balls Of
fire.
Mr.. Parks rose in the boat and waited for
the enemy. When it got within striking dis
tance Mrs Parks screamed at the top of her
voice for help, while her husband pounded
the serpent with 11sh-pole.
The reptile lodged about the boat for a
long time, and then disappeared, making q
noise like buzz-saw.

cost in the magnificent machinery which
yields such results?
The fact is that al these calculations Of
labor cost are rendered imperfect by the
forgetfulness of one fact Take the dif-

CREsPO NEAR CARACAS.

The Venezuela Capital Soon to Be Besieged
by the Rebel General.
CARAooA. WEST INDIES, July 24-Informa-
tion is just received from Venezuela that
news of General Crespo's triumphant entry
into the capital may be expected at any
time, with an army of 20, 600 men. The revo-
lutionary chief is now at Los Teques, only
two days. march from Caracas, and is pre-
pairing for an early advance upon the city.
Within short time Caracas will be COM
pletely invested by the armies of the revo-
lutionary Generals. Although the troops
are badly armed and have insufficient am
munttion they will be powerful enough,
should resistance to their occupation of the
capital be made, to prevent communication
to the outside world and await surrender
without shedding more blood.

SOME of our Republican contemporaries

SOME of our Republican contemporaries
are inquiring whether Mr.. Harrity will fol-

resign his office before he begins campaign

enable the incumbent to pocket large in

That was the way in which certain promi-

DENVER, July 94.-Preparations for the
twenty-nfth Triennial Conolave Of Knights
Templar are rapidly coming to . focus, and
by the time the conclave opens the city will
have on its best dress. It is estimated that
the conclave will bring l0O, 900 people to the
city.
The probability is that this conclave will
be the last consolidated meeting Of the
Templars in America. For a quarter of q
century the sentiment against such q large
gathering has been gaining strength, and 1t
Is the general impression that the Denver
encampment will conoluae the series which
for rs years have witnessed a growth nm
paraleled in modern times. The question
will be presented and discussed at the
coming meeting, and it is claimed that here
after the conclaves will be held with the
same regularity as in the past, but each con-
clave will represent only a certain portion
Of the country. The advocates of the new
plan claim that the interest OF the order
will be still further advanced by a division
of the territory, and the meetings will be as
large as should be desired.

Salisbury in preference to Gladstone.
1t is not likely that such striking
oblivion of the meanest attacks ever made
on Parnell will prevail If it does, the

this evening, during heavy thunder storm
tank No. 1877, at the Eclipse Oil Works, con-
tanning 5000 barrels of refined $50 first test
petroleum, was struck by lightning and
caught fire. The tank is situated in q group
OF u or more tanks filled with benzine,
naptha and other oils.
The fight to save large portion of the
works began. The oil in the tank was be-
ing pumped out as fast as possible, and it is
thought that large portion will be saved.
1t is feared that the tank will overflow or
burst, and in case it should the loss will
reach hun dreds of thousands of dollars. The
loss at present is placed at $4,000. The fire
Is still raging, and a hard fight Is being made
to keep it where it originated.

insists on a census every year, and sees that
it puts the total up to the top figures.
Pittsburg accepts a census every ten years
and puts up with total 10 or l5 per cent
less than the reality. The difference in the
results of the two policies is expressed in
the difference between the population of

Society's Duty Is Plain.

NOW AUVerIIstrsI
The vile wretch with the distorted brain,
who attempted to right the grievances of
honest workingmen by resort to assassina-
ton, did not know. perhaps, that the death
of Mr.. Frick could not in any way settle the
everlasting contest between Capital and
Labor. He did not care to enter into the
logic of the case. He had been taught to re-
gard a rich man as his enemy and the enemy
OF all who toll. The duty Of organized so
ciety is plain. It must be prepared for ready
hare-brained alien creatures who have found
an abiding place here and who have declared
war upon existing conditions The man OF
the Berkman class must be treated as host1s
humanf generis. He has no relation to hon
est labor nor decent SOCIAL conditions.

More Than Resolutions Needed.

Cincinnati Comm ercial Gazette.l
The bitterness of feeling that has been
growing for some time has led up to this
sad result, and the first step on the part Of
the Amalgamated Association in the vindi-
cation OF their own character should be
their withdrawal from the vicinity of the
Homestead works and the refusal to inter-
fere in any way with the so-called non-union
men who may enter that establishments. If
this shall not be done, It is hard to foresee
the result, but one thing may be certain,
and that is that the Government of this
country, whether State, municipal or ma
tional, will be forced to uphold tine majesty
of the law and see that the rights of prop
erty-whsther these rights belong to capital,
to organized labor, or to individual labor
ers-shall be upheld. The American people
will be quick to read the lessons resulting
from this disaster. and they will require
more than resolutions or explanations to
satisfy them that the time has not come
when these disturbances, resulting from
secret societies OF otherwise, shall be sup
pressed.
