HOMEsTEAD's QUIET SUNDAY.

At least while daylight lasted every
thing was quiet at Homestead yes
terday. The period of strife and excite
ment was over, and, on the surface,
there was no indication of further dis
order. Even the talk of the conflict and
strife seems to show some diminution,
and it is possible that, after a week of
enmity and warfare, reflection and calm
reason may resume their sway.
1t is certainly to be hoped that the day s
intermission from excitement and strife
will permit the fact to dawn upon both
parties that no industry is worth main
tanning at the cost of bloodshed; that no
employment will be secure where the
laws are overthrown and defied; and such
strife as we have seen in the past week is
repugnant to the very spirit of civiliza-
ton. When these principles are per-
mitted to appear the path to settlement
may be opened. In order that reason
may take the place of violence, the effort
must be made to cultivate good feelings
instead of exciting angry ones; to con-
ciliate instead of repel; and for each side
to be sure that it is in the right attitude
uClOloslb CdllS Uu Iilc OtucI SLUG w IcCblly
its wrong-doing.
The presence of the Congressional Com
mittee here this week to investigate the
trouble is likely to transfer the dispute
from the field of violence to that of.merely
verbal dispute if not of reason. If the
Congressional investigation is held merely
to ascertain the facts without any partisan
motives, the hearing cannot be harmful
1t may be doubtful whether the committee
will elicit any information of importance
which is not already public property; but
their collection of information may, if un-
prejudiced, possess an authority not uni
versally acceded to newspaper re-
ports. On the other hand, if any
members of Congress seek to make politi-
cal capital out of great and deplorable
tragedy, and draw party advantage from
fatal strife, the responsibility for such
selfish and heartless course will rest with
them so completely as to injure them
more than anyone else.
In short, when intelligent men on all
sides realize that reason, moderation and
obedience to law is better and more con-
sistent with democratic self-government
than the week of madness and bloodshed
just passed over, they will begin the
process of allaying the strife and restor-
ing the reign of law and good order.

THE COMING OF THE GUARD.

At IL O'Clock last evening the period OF
uncertainty as to the action of the State
with regard to the Homestead troubles
was ended by the news of an order of the
Governor for the assemblage of the State
troops to proceed to Homestead and main-
tain order there. This step is in re-
sponse to the formal requisition of the
Sheriff for troops to support his authority,
which has not heretofore been made in
that shape.
The Governor has been sharply criti-
cised for failing to take this step earlier
In the history of the difficulty. But while
opinion may have been against the Exec
utive for his caution in taking this step, ii
prove to be the wisest one. 1t was in
spired by belief in the principle that it is
better for civil authority to restore order
if possible. While that hope has proved
futile, it remains to be seen whether the
two or three days intermission will not
prove to have done no harm and
possibly to have made matters better.
1t is clear that the troops could not have
reached Homestead in time to rescue the
WdtCllluCllt NllllC buO III
terval of three days will have given the
workers time to reflect on the folly
of opposing further violent resistance to
the power of the State. The action of the
Governor in assembling the entire force of
the State also shows that when he takes
action he wisely does so in such force as to
impress on all the hopelessness of opposi-
ton to the supremacy of the law.
With these facts before them the people
at Homestead have no other course
as American citizens but to yield to
the authority of the State. On the other
hand, while the forces of the State must
perform their work of restoring and main
tanning order, they should do so with the
greatest care not to bring on unnecessary
conflict Every sane and humane man
will hope that it may not be necessary for
them to fire. Only criminal resistance to
their duty can bring on such necessity.
Their orders should be strict that there is
to be no firing until its need is clear be-
yond all dispute. There is still, and will
continue to be, general public sympathy
for the workers at Homestead, and sim
cere hope that wisdom and discretion on
both sides will avoid further trouble of
serious nature.

HEBREWS PERMIT CREMATION:
The Conference Of Rabbis Adjourns to Meet
at Washington in December.

Inc conference Oh RaDD1S AdJOurnS to Meet
at Washington in December.
NEW YORK. July lo.-The Conference OF
Hebrew rabbis which began here on Thurs
day closed to-day. A mid-winter meeting
was fixed for December "a at Washington It
was also decided to hold the next annual
meeting in Chicago during the progress Of
the Worlds Fair. The customary rites for
proselytes were abolished by vote OF
% toe. 1t was decided by a unanimous vote
to permit the adoption of cremation in the
Hebrew Church. If an American rabbi be
called upon to celebrate funeral rites, he
shall not object to cremation on the ground
that the genius of the Hebrew religion is
opposed to 1t.
Rev. DR.. Calish offered a resolution pro-
testing against religious legislation, on the
ground that 1t is contrary to the Constitu-
tion of the United States. 1t was also re-
solved that the Hebrews of America cele-
brate the four hundredth anniversary of the
discovery of America by endowing chair

nary of Hebrew History and Literature, to
Rev. DR.. H. Berkowitz, of Kansas City, was
elected Presidents; Rev. Dr. r. Grossman, Of
New York, Vice President; Rev. Charles
Levi OF Cincinnati, Recording Secretary
The concluding meeting was held in the
evening, when it took the form OF a memo
rial service to Rabbi Lehman Adler, late of
Chicago, and the deceased Rabbi Dr. NJ,
Solomon, of Appleton, Wis. Rev. DR.. WISE
President OF the convention, delivered a
farewell address, thanking New York for its
hospitality.

Doing His Full Duty.

Harrisburg Telegraph, kep.I
If the Sheriff of Allegheny county does
his plain duty and finds that he cannot pre-
serve the peace and order, then it will be
time enough to think of troops. As set,
according to all evidence. the Sheriff has
done practically nothing. 1t must not be
supposed that Governor Pattison will be
backward in invoking the aid OF the States
war arm to preserve peace. He informed
the committee Of Homestead business men
and strikers who called on him that
peace and order must be observed and
the law obeyed, and this would De main
tanned, even II it required all the force of
the State or an appeal to the Federal Gov
ernment The Governor also intimated to
the committee that the rights of those who
are given work in the mills must be re-
spected, union or non-unfon, and he would
see that these people and all who obeyed
the law were protected, What more could
be expected OF the Governor? He has done
all that he could do, and he is abused by hot
heads because he will not order out the
troops and shoot people down when there
is not the slightest occasion for ft. The
Pinkerton affair was an incident to be de-
plore0, but it called for no Intervention by
the Governor. The Governor has been fair
and manly all the way through this Home
stead affair, and public opinion sustains
him.

Indulglng in q Delusion.

LHncHster 1Ve" Era, fsep.J
What does Governor Pattison mean in in
sisting that the Sheriff OF Allegheny county
at the head Of so or 100 deputies shall go and
dispossess the thousands of armed strikers
who are holding possession of the steel and
iron works at Homestead? Does he suppose
they can do it? Does he suppose they will
even make a feeble attempt to do it? Does
he really indulge the delusion that this law
less and infuriated band of men can be
one reading the riot act to them? II he does,
then we have no hesitation in saying he is
the only man in the Commonwealth who
labors under such hallucination. The
whole country looks on with bated breath
while the laws of the State are violated,
and wonders why the one man to whom all
necessary authority and means are in
trusted should stand frresolute and inactive
and hesitate to perform his sworn duty,
which is to "take care that the laws be
faithfully executed"

might not the resistance of workingmen
against one-sided finding be as persist
ent and bitter as their present resistance?
The spirit of arbitration is to be culti-
waited, and the method itself may often be
used to avoid strife. But for complete
solution of the labor question it is neces-
sary to go much deeper than that, and
make the interests of labor and capital
identical in fact, as well as in theory.

Effect Of tho Military.

Philadelphia Bulletin. Rep.I
The point is the effect produced, and there
is no doubt here that the military Is O far
more potent agent in quelling disorder than
the civil body. There is associated with its
uniform a respect which compels obedience
to the orders it would enforce. The sight of
the uniform and the regulation musket
lessons the unreasoning rage of the striker
and makes him question the advisability of
going on with his lawlessness. Whatever
this may be due to we do not undertake to
say. But, at any rate, a strong force OF mill
tary upon the ground, far from precipitating
bloodsned, is more apt to obviate any such
misfortune. We firmly believe that the in
terpositfon of formidable body of State
troops at Homestead 30 soon as the Sheriff
had made his appeal to the Governor would
have accomplished this result. or course,
as has been said, the timeliness of military
interference must be judged by the Cow
ernor; but in this case an order to the mill
tary early In the day would probably have
saved q number OF lives and would have
prevented the extreme conditions which
now prevail The presence Of military in
large numbers-no erlfitng force Will do
tends TO prevent loss or LIE rather than 70
increase II

Accountability of Pattison.
Philadelphia Telegraph, Rep.l

Every day and every hour but adds to the
fearful accountability of Governor Patti
son in this grave matter. 1t is shown else
where how, in 1877. the same kind OF dilatori-
ness and failure on the part of a single Of
fetal to see clearly his duty resulted in
dreadful loss OF life and vast destruction of
property in nearly a week of terrorism and
virtual anarchy in the second city of the
Commonwealth. Governor Pattison is
anding to-day precisely where the Mayor
OF Pittsburg stood in the summer of 1877.
He seems to be absolutely beyond the reach
of reason. He is being led to the brink of a
frightfui precipice. Nothing can now save
the State from the most bloody conflict it
has ever known in an attempt TO uphold the
majesty of law except the absolute surren-
der, without struggle, Of the Homestead
mob, and of that there is not only no sign,
but there is no reason whatever to expect it.
A few more days of failure to comply with
the supreme mandate of the Constitution to
see that the laws are executed and Cover.
nor Pattison will be face to face with the
consuming wrath of the people of this great
Commonwealth.

Dignity and Power of the State.

Lancaster Examiner, Rep.1
Governor Pattison should remember that
he represents the dignity and power q the
State and not specially the interests OF his
party. No one asks him to call out the
Guard for mere clustering purposes. but
would like to hear him say something to
show he is a man of grit, and that If worst
comes to worst he will be equal to the occa-
sion. 1t brings up the old story of Buchan-
an. He sat in the White House quibbling
about precedents and constitutions while
old Jackson's "by tho eternal' would have
saved millions OF lives and property. All
that the people wish to see at present is
little more jackson than Buchanan at Har-
risburg and there will be peace within our
borders.
