A Two Headed Celebration.

BosToN, July 7.-An interesting ques-
ton has arisen regarding the observance
of Columbus day. There is peculiar
discrepancy between the two Congress-
ional acts relating to the celebration.
The act of Congress of April 25, 1890,
named October 18th as the date for the
dedication of the worlds exposition
grounds at Chicago. The movement for
a popular celebration of Columbus day
to be led by the public schools received
Congressional recognition and the Presi-
dent was authorized to issue a procla-
nation recommending suitable, observ-
ance by the public schools in all locali-
ties of the 40Oth anniversary of Ameri-
cas- discovery, October 21st, which is
the correct date of the Gregorian calen-
dar now in use. 1t was the plan of the
originators of the popular celebration
that the Chicago dedication and the
school exercises should be Simultaneous
ly held. Unless the Chicago date is cor
rected by Congress to conform to the
date of the popular observance there will
be a two headed celebration.

would begin an investigation into the
Pinkerton detective system. The resolu-
ton for this investigation was introduced
months ago by Representative Watson of
Georgia, one of the most demagocic AL
lance members of the House. It made
no headway, however, until after the
bloody result of summoning armed
bodies of men to Homestead Colonel
Oates today notified Mr.. Watson to ap-
pear at the meeting of the committee on
Friday and make statement of what
was alleged against the employment of
armed watchmen. Mr.. Watson said to-
day:
II have held that body of armed
men, such as were brought to Home
stead, amounts to an army and is in
violation of the provision of the federal
constitution. For months I have been
trying to have Congress take some steps
to stop this hiring of detectives by
capitalists. sfsI introduced a bill which
would have annihilated the Pinkerton
agencies. Next I introduced a resolu-
ton to investigate the entire Pinkerton
system. But bill and resolution went to
the committee on judiciary, where they
dragged along for months. The bill
has never seen the light since the com
mittee got hold of it, but the resolution
was reported favorably after confining
the scope of the Investigation to the
Pinkerton system as applied to inter
state commerce. Even in this restricted
form the investigation has hung fire, ard
no step has been taken to hear witnesses
until this awful occurrence at Home
stead. Within an hour of the
time the news first reached the
House Colonel Oates came to me and
said he would begin the investigation. 1t
looked like locking the stable door after
the horse was stolen.
My idea is that Congress has the DOW
er to prevent the hiring of armed men by
private corporations, notwithstanding
the claim that federal legislators have no
right to interfere with the local admin
istration of state laws. I hold that
body of men such as was at Homestead
Yesterday is an army, and under the
United States constitution the right of
maintaining troops is expressly reserved
to the federal government
The provision referred to by Mr., Wat
son is article l. section 10, of the consti-
tuition:
No State shall, without the consent of Con-
gress, lay any duties of tonnage, keep troops or
ships OF war in time of peace, enter into any
agreement or compact with another State or
actually invaded or in such imminent danger as
will not permit of delay.
Mr.. Watson continued: can army NAV
consist of 300 men or 10000 men, and
the force of 800 at the Homestead mills
is just as much an army as
though it had been enrolled and had
sworn allegiance to some ruler. No man
has a right to raise or maintain band of
mercenaries who, under the guise of
deputy sheriffs, can shoot down citizens
of the United States. 1t establishes the
precedent that disputes between capital
and labor shall be settled by force.''
Mr.. Watson has asked Colonel Oates to
summon MI. Powderly to give evidence
of the operations of armed men at the
extensive st. Louis strike, and also to
furnish the names of prominent labor
leaders who are familiar with the work
of private detectives during the New
York Central strike.

THE 'PINKERToN FORCES.
More of Them Said To Be on Their Way
to Pittsburg.

CHICAGO, July NEARLY all the
Pinkerton men on the barges which the
steamer Little Bill towed down the
Monongahela river at daybreak yester-
day, were from Chicago. One hundred
and twenty-five men in command of j.
G. Hoffman, clerk in the Pinkerton
agency, left this city Sunday night for
Homestead. There were about 25 regular
Pinkerton specials in the party. The
others were men who were not in the
employ of the agency except when an oc-
casion like this demands that they be
sent out of town. These men were
ordered to report at the Pinkerton
agency Sunday evening, ready for a tri p
to Pennsylvania. In order to make as
little demonstration as possible, the men
went to the station in twos and threes
and boarded the fast express train for
Pittsburg. So secretly was the departure
made that even the railroad officials did
not notice any thing out of the ordinary.
1t is reported that about 200 more
Pinkertons left here for Pittsburg today.

wisdom from the other Side.

LONDON, July 7.-Great as the public
interest is in the pending elections, it is
hardly greater than the sensations caused
by the sanguinary riots in Pittsburg, Pa.
The causes of the strike and the slaugh-
ter attending the collision between the
Carnegie company's hired detectives and
the strikers are largely commented upon,
and most of the comments are adverse
to the Carnegie company. The Globe
CONSERVATIVE says that the experience
may tend to modify the anti-monarchical
leanings of Carnegie, who is always
seeking to convince English workingmen
that they are never happy or truly free
under the monarchical system of govern
ment.
The Star, Liberal, says that Mr.. Car
negie is full of discourses on the gospel
of wealth, its duties, etc., but he forgets
that charity begins at home He is very
charitable in Scotland, but has no time
for charity in Pittsburg. 1t is little
odd with the ennuciation of such beauti-
full sentiments as those expressed by Mr..
Carnegie as to the obligations of the
rich, etc., he should be unable to carry
on business without such scenes as those
which are reported at Homestead.
The News says the trouble is due to
the curse of protection; that the large
iron and steel industries in America
have enjoyed the full benefit of the Nc
Kinley tariff, and yet wages have gone
down; and that it is a mere iuggle with
words to say that the tariff has nothing
to do with the matter.
