Homestead TO protect non-union workmen.
They were wage earners themselves. poor
men In the employ Of capital. Yet the
strikers set upon them. killed some. tor
tured others. and treated all as their nat
ural enemies. They assaled them. too.
simply beca-se they came to Home
stead to protect workingmen from as
sault. The watchmen did not come to
compel the riotous strikers to work. but
to enable others to work In security. That
was the sole ground OF the hostility to
them. II they had been let alone by the
mob. thoy would have done nobody any
harm. II tho mob had been willing to let
alone the workmen who chose to accept
employment Mt tho mills. the P1NKERToN
watchmen would not have come.
So determined were tho riotous strikers
to prevent workingmen from making lv-
ing in the mills. that tho militia Of Pennsyl-
vania had to be called out for the protec-
ton OF such peaceful laborers against the
armed mob. The assault Of the rioters was
on labor and not on capital. ex-
cept indirectly. They wanted to have
monopoly OF tho labor ut Home
stead for themselves. and they tried
to secure 1t by bulldozing all other labor
ers. They wanted to brighten away every
workingman who was not in their labor
union. aud thus under their control. That
was their sole reason for fighting.
Here in New York an engineer employed
by n building firm did not pay fine i'm
posed on him by tho labor union to which
he belonged. The union method Of discip-
limo was to order n strike. and this strike
has been gradually extended. until now
$4,000 workingmcn are out OF employment
in tho building and cognate and dependent
or subsidiary trades Mt n season when they
are best able to obtain employment. 1ndi-
rcctly many thousands of other poor men
are made to suffer. Multitudes OF laborers
who are willing to work and anxious to
work. are deprived by the unions OF the
means OF making n living. Tho injury
caused to the employers Is serious also;
but they are comparatively few in number.
and most of them can stand the loss. The
workingmen driven from employment.
however. are thousands. and they and their
families must suffer actual hardship.
The war. therefore. is against labor. not
against capital. Tho victims are working
men. not employers; and the fight is waged
in behalf Of an attempt at monopoly.
Is labor likely to submit to such despot-
ism indefinitely? Will not the revolution
forescen by the anarchistic prophet be
rather an uprising Of labor to emancipate
itself from the labor union tyrant. than n
mad assault on the source from which
labor derives it's sustenance ? Outside Of
lunatic asylum the argument that
the way to prosperity is to destroy
the materials of prosperity will never have
any weight Murder will never become
popular. But the time may come when
labor will make up its mind that II it has
any tyrnnt it is the labor union and not
capital: that the monopoly against which it
must revolt Is the labor monopoly.
At any rate, the right to work free from
tho dictation Of any labor organization, and
without intimidation from any. must DO
maintained.

We learn from q letter in the Times that
Senator DAVID d. HILL OF New York enjoyed
high old sport ut Normandie- bythe.Sea. in
the State OF New Jersey. Just before he took
sail in yacht He was seen several times
playing baseball on tho sandy beach there.
At one time he turned out, bat in hand. to play
a scrub game: at another time he played in n
way that was both stylish and energetic. After
pacing OF the regulation distance from the
pitchers box to the home plate he threw balls
to the other man. who acted rs back STOP then
seized the bat and welded 1t so holly that he
had to leave tho field. put on n dry shit, aud
interesting. and he played with an experiences
that created surprise in the mind OF profess
SIGNALS. When not engaged In baseball on tho
beach. he enjoyed other diversions went to the
races. sailed in a small boat. ate blueilsh. took
q long walk. entertained the ladies. henrkened
to the wild waves while taking in the salt
breezes. and stretched his trousers on the
vino-clad piazza OF the two-story cottage in
which he had a room. He enjoyed both action
and rerose. taking life like philosopher who
is sportsman. The honorable desire which
he had entertained last month to be nomi-
mated as tho Democratic candidate for the
Presidency hndno been Cratiilcd yet he was
not In u sulky frame of mind on that account,
and he will employ all his powers in promot-
ing the success OF the Democratic ticket.
1t is truly a great thing for man to have q
mind that car rise superior to the casual in
cidents Of time and space and Senator HILL

an extent greater than has appeared

1t Is probable. therefore. that many

to be disintegrating in New York at least.

Better turn these day men, or bummers' gang,

Your committee has seriously considered all
these matters and complaints and recommend
that the board of public works should be in
strueted to Immediately cancel the arrange
menrs made by them with the Ministerial
Mission or any other charitable institution.
We further recommend that such assistant CO
be given TO those worthy institutions which have
taken upon themselves the task of ameliorating
the condition OF those unfortunate creatures as
our laws will permit US to give them We also
take this occasion to remind those business
men and other citizens to help to enlarge the
revenue OF those charitable missions by a
monthly subscription OF such amount as they
deem themselves able to give.
Communication was read from the board
of works informing them that much of
the sewer work recently ordered would
have to be through unplatted land; re-
ferred to committee.
Ordinance providing for the assessment
of Stewart street was passed.
The ordinance repeating the ordinance
authorizing payment to IL. l.. Yesler for
Pioneer place was passed.
1t was agreed to have Main street, from
Commercial to South Second, planked at
general expense.
An amendment to the charter, by which
a re-grade may be ordered upon consent of
a majority of property-owners instead of
three-fourths, was agreed upon.
The following petitions were read:
Miss ]. Cornell for duplicate warrant;
granted.
For extension of sewer on Marion, from
Eighth to Ninth; referred.
For planking one-half Of James, from
Third to Sixth; referred.
Several others as to merely personal
matters were referred.
For vacation of certain streets in the
Denny Thurman addition.

Total. g.26

The judgments, awards and warrants
are for old debts incurred after the fire up
to March z, 1891. The remainder will be
to defray cost of new work yet to be done
on water and sewer extension, and that
for current expenses will enable the city
to pay all wages. etc., in cash instead of
scrip, which now has to be discounted.
This plan will put the city on cash
basis, and the entire debt of the whole
city up to the end of 1892 will be funded,
and the finances be placed in splendid con-
dition. Even then the whole liability of
the city will not exceed 81, 200, 900. a very
small debt in proportion to the property
valuation.
The report will be taken up for consider
alton on Monday night.
The council met in joint session for the
purpose of considering the Stewart street
assessment roll. Care has been taken to
observe every technicalIty of the law. 1t
is of special interest because it is the first
apportionment of cost made under the
new system. The levy is made by the
front foot, but property to the depth of
thirty feet bears 40 per cent. of the cost
the second thirty feet, Is per cent; the
third, 20 per cent; the fourth,
10 per cent. The street was petitioned for
under the old charter, but the supreme
court decided that the assessment must be
made under the new charter. The result
is that the property-owners at the east end
are assessed at a higher rate than they
would otherwise have been. This has
given some dissatisfaction but the council
has been advised that it is proceeding
legally and that, in fact, it is compelled
to make the levy as it has DONE
The property-owners were notified to be
present last night, but there was only one
present. He said he regretted. of course,
to have TO pay more than he expected, but
he understood the matter and would offer
no protest.
The entire cost of the street will be
s2S3i7.1 10 to property-owners. and $2,627.75
to the city.
After formal call for objections, and
none being offered, the roll was approved.
Both houses will meet on Monday night.

A FUND FOR NoRDsTRoM.
The Scandinavians VIII Aid the Defense
of the Convicted Murderer.

The Scandinavians VIII Aid the Defense
of the Convicted Murderer.
The project for raising fund for the
defense of Charles Nordstrom, the con-
victed murderer of William Mason, took
shape yesterday. The matter has been
under discussion for some time among
some of the Scandinavians of Seattle, and
yesterday afternoon A. Chilberg, Hugo
Slettegrin and A. Amunds visited Nord-
strom in his cell for the purpose of having
thorough conference with the prisoner.
They came to the conclusion that it would
be only fair to see that the convicted man
had every opportunity to prove his inno-
desire to be known as condoning crime,
they have resolved to raise fund for
Nordstrom's further defense.
The following petition in duplicate will
be passed around among Nordstrom'
countrymen:

ago on suspicion of being one of the oovey
which was landed at Smiths Cave, Janu-
ary . but he was subsequently released by

THELAW OF DIVORCE.
Second Marriage Within Six
Months After a Decree.
JUDGE LIcHTENBERe's VIEWS.
Hfs Decision In the Case of Channel -.
Channel-Four Divorces Granted
The Blotter.

Judge Lichtenberg was called upon yes
terday in the divorce suit of ChannelI vs.
CHANNEL to deal with case coming under
the state law, which provides that decree
Of divorce shall not be absolute until after
the expiration of six months in order tn
give the defeated party time to appeal to
the supreme court. Frank CHANNEL. the
defendant in the case, has figured in the
newspapers in a bad light on account of
numerous crooked transactions which he
has carried on in this and other cities.
According TO the pleadings he was mar
RED in June. 1883, in Cleveland, O.. to
Laura NJ. CHANNEL. On December l3.
1880. the wife was granted divorce by
Judge Lichtenberg. In May, 1890, less
than six months later, Channell induced
Miss Sarah Isascs. of this city, to elope
with him, and they were married at Ia
coma He lived with his second bride
about month on funds borrowed from
her sister, and then deserted her.
In the defendants cross-complaint he
oct mp the fact of his first marriage and
that six months had not expired between
the granting of divorce from his first
wife and the marriage to the second. In
handling this question Judge Lichtenberg
said that while six months had not elapsed
Of the time of the second marriage, it had
at the present time, and the defendant had
taken no appeal to the supreme court. He
thought, therefore, that the decree in the
FIRST suit should become absolute. He
thought that the law meant that a second
marriage before the expiration of the time
for appeal was voidabie only, instead of
absolutely void. 1t would be working a
hardship in this case, when the plaintiff
was ignorant of the fact of that divorce, to
declare her the mistress and not the wife
Of the defendant. The supreme court of
Oregon had rendered an adverse decision,
but in case where circumstances were
different. In this instance the party had
been divorced and remarked, with full
knowledge of the divorce, within the
specified time allowed for appeal. She
was not an innocent party, as in the case
In hand.
The court granted the decree as prayed
for, and allowed the plaintiff $40 alimony
per month. CHANNEL did not appear in
court, and his present whereabouts are
unknown.
Mrs. Mary Wilcox was granted divorce
from Frank Wilcox, to whom she was
married in March, 1883, at jamestown,
n. \. Her husband paid her board for
one week following the wedding. and then
announced that she would have to sup
port herself.
Mrs. Emma Black obtained q decree of
divorce against Robert Z. Black on the
ground of failure to support. She mar
ried him at Pueblo. Col, in February,
1854 He was drunkard and gambler,
and did little for her support. Finally, in
May, 1855, he gavo her railway ticket
and IS and sent her to her parents in San
Diego, Cal.
Mary Jessie Allen was granted divorce
from William Alien on the ground of fail
uFe to support.
