TIE ORACULdR CANDIDATE

Mr.. Cleveland always says we'll the things
he has 10 say. lie saws them in a large and
somewhat impressive way. TIE TRIBUNE has
heretofore pointed ont that he has rather i
knack nj aphorisms This is partly due to a
certain rhetorical turn Of expression that seems
to come TO him naturally, and partly to really
genuine belief in himself, which leads him "a
think that the conclusions he has reached are
unite original and new, and worth putting in
aphoristic form. The charm of the man is
after all his belief in himself. So when he
saws things that are not by any means entirely
new. in a new FORM and form which, without
being 50, seems explicit and definite there Is
a natural disposition among the men who either
believe i'm him or are in hopes OF something
through pretending 10 believe in him. TO rise
nm and say Hi hi Did you ever hear any
thing like that ?" or words TO that effect. lie

A QUESTION OF Law AND NOT or LABOR

QUESTION or LAW AND NOT or LAboh'
4 remarkable change in public opinion has
come since the Homestead strike began. 1t is
plainly reflected by the Governor OF PcnnSyl-
vana who declared, when doctor urged him
to remove the troops because the town was
orderly "The State of pennsylvania has
Sc 600 900 in its treasury. l Will be lustlhcd
in Speeding every cent of il, and in mortgagIng
the State itself to maintain the National Guard
here until law and order are restored" lew
DAYS of contact with the actual facts at Home
stead have made the Governor speak thus
strongly His officers, staff and military, who
have seen the attempt to set up kind OF gov
ernment unknown to the laws OF Pennsylvania
and in denial Of the rights guaranteed by the
State. openly declare the performance treason
able, and insist that the rights OF every indi-
yidua under the laws of the State must be re-
spected. and the laws strictly enforced and
obeyed. before the military can be withdrawn.
This does not lessen the right of strikers to
reject scale proposed by the steel company.
1t does not call in question their right to eTab-
Ish and maintain "a labor organization for their
mutual aid. The resort to violence and blood
shed. in excluding either new men or guards
hired by the company, was violation OF law.
The spirit which upholds il is one OF resistance
10 the law, which the authorities of the state
cannot suffer TO go unrebuked burgess Nc
Luckie and leader ODonnell, OF the Advisory
Committee. both affirm that they earnestly adj
yised the strikers 70 do no violence and tried
10 arrest the riot. and il would be well if the
Amalgamated Association as body would
n,aka il clear that il had taken the same at
titude But the fact stands that there was
lawlcss outbreak which nobody did restrain,
and that if troops were away men wishing I"
work in the Homestead mills would not be safe
a single hour Orders dcpriving individuals OF
Their loyal rights and liberty have been issued
bv the Advisory Committee, which the au-
thorities of the State cannot fall 10 treat as
unlawful.
Ii is against unlawful acts, and not against
the strike or the organization Of labor, that the
power of the State is properly exercised. The
distinction is one which all law-reSpectng work
ingmen will quickly perceive. Acting within
their legal rights for the furhelancc of the
interests Of labor, they are equally entitled with
every other peaccablc citizen, rich or poor, to
the protection Of the state But laWlcsS and
forciblc denial Of the rights OF others the state
cannot tolerate in anybody. Nor could great
industrial establishments be maintained, for
capital would never be invested in State by
which the laws are not enforced and individual
rights are not protected. II would be the
darkest Of all dark days for the workers OF
PENNSYLVANIA If ever anarchy should i'll that
State take the place of law.

THE Boston Post is supporting Cleveland and
Stevenson by talking to it's readers about tho
entire ruin OF our National commerce! IL is
highly astonishing that such a newspaper as The
POST should have the audacity TO make such a
representation. Our National commerce for the
fiscal year ending June 30. 1892, amounted 70
1851 26,91O, an increase during the year Of
Sl2s,320,o O4, and an increase over the last year

chandise last year Sl,0l5,7s9,607, for the
first time in our National history our exports
reaching and exceeding billion OF dollars The
entire ruin OF our National commerce. What
idiotic stuff! And yet the Democratic campaign is
being fought all over the country with just that
kind Of weapons. The Democratic organs do not
dare let the people know the real facts as TO the
workings OF the Mckinley bill. All they can do
is 10 talk in a silly way about the ruin Of every
thing as if The country instead Of growing richer.
freer and happier every day were really punsinS
