SAVAGE SLAUGHTER.
FhG Strikers Fight Like Hostile Indians
Oh the War PATH
CAUSE OF CONFLICTING REPORTS.
Only Such Dispatches We're Sent Out as
Leaders of the Mob Dictate.
REFUGEES ARRIVE IN SPOKANE.
Anarchy Openly Talked--Laudine the
savagery and Censuring Lawful
Action.

SPOKANE, July 15.-Newspaper re-
porters and everybody suspected of
sympathy for the victims of the savag-
cry of the mob in Cnur d'Alene are
under strict surveillance, and it is almost
impossible to get anything reliable from
the seat OF war. A few embryotic an
archists held forth on Howard street
yesterday in this city. The slaughter of
the innocent men and the destruction of
valuable property in the Cnur d'Alenes
was lauded, while the government was
censured for sending troops to quell the
riot. One fellow, who was evidently Il
stranger to soap bubbles, went so far as
to suggest an attack upon the banks of
the city here, provided the rioters in
Coeur d'Alene were successful. These
anarchist sentiments were not relishable
to the Americans present and the
spouters gradually skunk out OF sight.
This city is the rendezvous of refugees,
and their experiences tell of a savagery
succeeding Iawlessness showing that
the instincts of civilization were thrown
to the winds and all that is vile in
human nature has been brought to the
surface in that region. The annals of
western ruffianism have few blacker
pages than that upon which must be
written the deeds of the men, who fol-
lowed up the fleeing miners, and finding
them unarmed, terrorized and defense-
less, shot them down in wanton sport
and robbed them of their little belong
ings. 1t is source of regret that JUS
tice can never hope to lay her hands
upon the men who have done these vile
deeds. 1t is unpleasant to realize that
men Hcapable of such acts will, in all
possibility, escape the gallows. Their
immunity from conviction is a reproach
to the law, to organized labor and to
civilization itself With the coward s
instinct they cloaked their identity
under the darkness OF night. Already
they have been swallowed up in the
maelstrom of turbulent humanity that
has such thorough control of life and
property in the troubled districts.
None can be found to give them up,
none to point them out to an avenging
public. They will probably continue to
wander at will, compliant to the law
where the law has force, but ready for
fresh deeds of violence at the first lapse
of regular authority. All reports to the
effect that quiet has been restored at
Wardner needsundoubted confirmation.

ANOKA. Mimi. July 1o.-The village
of Burns, across the Mississippi river,
from here, is in the midst of terrors and
the town practically in the hands of
gang of desperadoes, who are burning
buildings and threatening the lives of
citizens. George Small Il wealthy and
prosperous farmer, has been very active
in his efforts to lodge one of the rufhans
behind the bars, for criminal acts A
warrant was sworn out against one of
the gang, but it has never been served.
The whole populace of Burns was terri
fed and the gangs actions were eontinu-
ally causing annoyance. The grave
crime of arson has been laid AZ their
doors several times. Monday the hand
sone residence OF Small was set on fire,
but after "a fierce fight by the family
and neighbors the flames were extin-
guished. On Wednesday Small was
in Anoka. and in the evening word
was brought to him that his elegant
residence had again been Get ON fire by
unknown desperadoes and totally con-
sumed. The sheriff and citizens will
make an endeavor to get at the culpits,
and things are in such condition that
no mans life is safe and all go armed.
The deed is supposed to be spitework.
Small was open in his remarks against
the gang. The home of Thomas Cor
man will go next; SO Gays the leader of

capture the gang, Gov. Merriam will be
asked to send a company of militia on
their track.

Martial Law at Homestead.

PIrTsBURG, July 15.-While martial
law has not been officially declared in
Homestead it has taken place to all
practical purposes. This result was
caused by illegal arrests by special
policemen Yesterday morning, when two
additional companies of troops with
twenty rounds of ball cartridges and
fixed bayonets were detailed to patrol
the town. They were instructed that in
case of an arrest by the police for any
manifest breach of the peace. drunken
ness and the like, they were not to inter
fere, but in all other cases they are to
take both prisoner and policeman be-
fore the provost marshal, and il the ar
rest is illegal the policeman will be
punished.
Gen. Snowden puts it euphemistically
by saying the military will cooperate
with the civil authorities in preventing
illegal arrests, and it is somewhat more
certain for the preservation of the peace.
1t was reported yesterday that the town
was officially declared under martial law,
and the strikers were not at all pleased
when they heard it, as they thought it
presaged an immediate attempt to turn
in non-union men. Neither are the
locked-out men pleased with the action
of the Carnegie men in other mills
threatening to strike unless conference
is granted at Homestead, as they believe
the others can do them good in case of a
long struggle in remaining at work and
helping them financially.

TeIegraphic Flashes.

A London dispatch says William Wal
dorf Astor continues to make rapid pro-
gress toward recovery. The author of
the bogus dispatch announcing his death
is being diligently sought for. The dis
patch was signed Clement and the
family are surprised that this announce
ment was accepted as true by Astor's
New York agent. No one named Glenn
ent is connected with the Astors in any
way.
An independent Parnelite organ says
the select circle of liberals in London
last night received the announcement
that the home-rule bill was postponed
by an agreement with the Irish party in
order that some big reform measure may
be introduced in the coming parliament.
Tim Healy is elected to parliament
There was much rowdyism during the
polling. Healy was assaulted and one
of his friends killed.
The people of Hunter county, on the
Tomb;gbee river, Alabama, are abso-
lutely destitute on account of the floods.
They have appealed to the governor to
ask congress for relief. He has issued a
proclamation asking the people of the
state to contribute for the purpose.
Cholora is spreading with alarming ef-
feet throughout Russia. The Astrakhan
Messenger publishes the details of the
recent riots at that place, growing out
of the epidemic. 1t says the mob held
the town two days. The hospital was
burned to the ground, and all the medi-
cal staff more or less injured. One doc
tor and his assistant were brutally beat
en- by the mob and trampled to death.
Patients in the hospital were carried to
the banks of the Volga, and fed with
milk as a supposed antidote to the pois
on administered by the doctors. Sew
eraI succomed to this extraordinary
treatment. Only the firing of u volley
of infantry brought the maddened mob
to reason.

SEEDS OF DEarAGoGY.
The Moral and Legal Rights of Capital
and Labor.

From the Spokane Revicw.l
The seeds or demagogy spread like
fash and take root in an hour. A few
days ago the proposition was laid down
in the senate of the United States that
the employer has not the right to dis
charge the employe; that there must be
one form of law for the person who hires
the person WHO hires 500; that large
manufacturing establishments are pub
lie institutions and subject to the popu-
lar will of the community, and that an
employer who has given work to crowd
of men for several years must be COM
PEELED to go on hiring those same men
at whatever wages they see fit to ask,
or the pressure of competition.
That amazing doctrine has found a re-
sponsive echo in the Ceur d'Alenes.
''If capital has the right to discharge
men like u.s." exclaims one of the strik-
ers, ss'soon one of the worst forms of
slavery would prevail But capital
has not discharged the men in the Cnur
d'Alenes; they have simply discharged
themselves. Capital has simply refused
to let labor lay down all the propositions
of the contract. It had relinquished the
privilege of employing whomsoever it
desired to work in it's property, but has
protested against the dictum that it
must also be silent partner in the reg
ulation of wages.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1892-07-15

1t is wildly preposterous to say that
labor is justified in meeting this deter
mination with mob tyranny and nihil-
ism of valuable property. If that prop
osition is defensible in q high wage
camp like the Coeur d'Alenes, it must be
defensible in every section of the United
States; and upon this reasoning uni
versal nihilism is demanded. Il is hu-
initiating to know that The forms of pop
ular government have brought US to this
at last. It is pitiable the way polite
ians and partisans are permitting them
selves to be awed into defense of the de-
crees of force.
The trouble springs from confusion
of the moral and legal rights of man. It
is readily seen that the old and faithful
employe has a moral claim upon the
employer: and it is lamentabie that too
often this obligation is ignored and
ridden down by the requirements of
competition. But the old and faithful
employe has no right to take rifle on
his shoulder, and bomb in his hand,
and set up q lawless enforcement of a
moral right. With more reason could
it be said that the child had a right to
go with dynamite in hand to the parent
who had offered it worsted suit instead
of broadcloth, for in the family circle
there is a close approachment of the
moral and legal obligations of the
parent.
False public sentiment is even more
responsible for the Cnur d 'Alene tragedy
than are the active participants. There
can be no question that long brooding
upon their troubles has convinced the
strikers that their course is just and
justifable. They at least cannot be
charged with demagogy- But a false
public sentiment has pandered to these
views when it knew they were wrong.
1t has been the breeze that has famed
the spark of insurrection. 1t is more
reprehensible than the mob itself.

The Price OF Wheat.

Pacific Farmer. There is no good
canse why the price of wheat should not
be as high this year as it was last, as
official reports OF the Russian prospects
show that the general outlook is much
worse than it was in the early part OF
last summer. Locusts have destroyed
the crops in Caucasus, and in southern
Russia the crops have been ravaged by
worms and field marmot. This is worse
than it was last year, because there is
now no old grain in sight.

The Weaker Vessel.

Washington Post. The Rochester
Herald says: STANLEY renounced his
allegiance to the United States that his
inordinate lust of power might be graft
fed by a seat in the English parlia-
ment.' This is not true. The woman
tempted him and he did eat. He was
persuaded by the opportunities of that
smart wife of his. Henry is the weaker
vessel of the two.

on his left with the same fairness that he
did those of the majority, he was cheered
from every part of the hall. He also
gave some excellent advice concerning
local legislation, in which he said that
not only the spirit of the constitution
was often violated, but the letter also.
The first brush in the house came Mon
day afternoon, when Mr.. McGrew, the
defeated candidate for speaker, and Mr..
Taylor, of Champaign county, together
with several elderly and infrm members,
received the courtesy of choosing their
seats first. Mr.. Griffin, of Lucas county,
thought that Mr.. Taylor's name ought
not to be ION the list" and he very
frankly said so; but a vote of 80 to 80
showed that he was in a slight minority.
Whether this vote is significant as to
future divisions, of course, remains to be
seen; but the way some of the wise solons
chuckled after the vote was announced
led one to think so.

when we get better acquainted all the
human characteristics on the calendar of

noticeable. One member is but twenty
six, another twenty-seven, two are twen-

but thirty-one, one thirty-four and many
under forty. This is essentially young

the fruit of wise legislation. Let us
hope so.

Tie royal, IN wnlcn one of the most gal,
liant of soldiers and most consummate Of
politicians is pitted against one of the
greatest statesmen and calmest of politi,
cal workers of the times. On both sides
are shrewd workers, skilled in directing
political ambitions and political contests
of large and small degree. There are
the so-called bosses, the heutenants and
the long line of workers, each recognized
according to the kind of work he can and
will do. 1t is indeed battle, fought by
armies of such strength that now at al.
most the last moment it is impossible to
tell which is the strong and which the
weak. Even the small contingent Of un.

the outcome. But wait until II is ali

that some sessions see nearly 1000 meas.

some members never offer one, it is seen
that some of the statesmen at Columbus
at least earn their salaries in drawing up
what is to them the wisest of legislation.

UNIoUE COINAGE PLANK.

The extreme manifestations of "en-
thusiasm"-to quote the term most ap-
proved by the Democratic organ of this
city-in the struggles over the control of
committees and delegations in the Demo-
cratic convention, were so distinctively
the leading features of that gathering,
that not much attention was paid to such
incidental matters as its platform. But it
appears that the platform contains de-
liverance on the coinage question, as
unique in its line as any of the more
physical manifestations of the political
enthusiasm of the Pennsylvania wheel
horses
The platform declares that the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania are in favor of "the
gold and silver coinage OF the Constitu-
tion.'' This is characterized by the New
York World as sound" but more cor
rect characterization of it would be that
it is all sound. Anyone can safely de-
clare himself In favor of the gold and sill
yer coinage of the Constitution, except for
the fact that there is no such thing. The
sole constitutional enactment on the sub
ject of the coinage is to give Congress
full authority over and to restrict the
States from making anything but gold
and silver coin legal tender in payment
of debts" 1t is thus seen that the
Democracy of this State accomplished the
great feat of lodging any positive stand
on the pending issue of the manner in
which the coinage shall be regulated by
indorsing a coinage which has no exist
ence
1t may be just as well that it did so.
The features of the convention in other
respects were of such character that
serious platform utterance on the subject
of coinage could hardly have carried much
force OF affected the ultimate disposition
of the matter in any way. In indorsing
Cleveland the Democracy practically put
right on the silver question;
but that makes the platform dodge still
more unique performance.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-04-17
THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR 1T.

The fact is cogently pointed out by the
New York World that Mr. Richard Croker
has shown in connection with legislation
at Albany, 'that he possesses a power
which has no rightful place under popu-
lar form of government" Furthermore,
the. World correctly asserts that when
political bosses combine to control State
and national affairs, "their power becomes
threat not only to the immediate inter-
ests of the people, but to the actuality of
popular government itself"
This is indisputable; but where does the
responsibility lie for the creation of such
an anomalous and irresponsible power.
Every one knows that bosses are created
solely by the control of political machinery
and the fetish of party loyalty. The
World has been free to recognize the
necessity of independent political action
to corre@ abuses in the Republican party.
But when it comes to a set campaign in
which the control of New York State or
city, or the representation of New York
in the National Government are at stake,
its theory of political action causes it to
urge the election of the ticket which gives
Mr.. Croker that singular and dangerous
power 1t is frank for the World to recognize
the wrong of the situation, but since it has
supported Mr.. Croker's party organiza-
ton before the people, it will have to ac-
cept its share of the responsibility for Mr..
Croker's dictatorship.
