Men without q grievance; men who
aver that they are well paid and not over
worked, demand on a moments notice
the abrogation of a contract by their en-
| ployers, demand that their employers
shall instantly settle some dispute be-
tween parties two thousand miles away.
about the merits of which employer and
employees know nothing, and TO enforce
it they not only quit work. but begin the
destruction OF property, use forcible
means to keep their former employers
from getting help, and declare it is a con-
test between capital and labor. Now,
when the employer gets other men, who
| have an equal right to earn their bread,
they demand that they shall be taken
back and the others discharged. They
make their demand in the interest of
labor. and appeal to the public for SYM
pathy. Now, why should the public take
sides against men who wanted work bad
enough to be beaten, shot at wrecked
TO get it? Why should the .ic favor
| those who threw up their jC hen they
themselves said they had nc llt to find
with their work, their pay ana their treat
ment?
WHO is TO BLAME?
| IVisalia Times.
A man applied for work enough to pay
for his board at the residence OF one of our
1
clared he had not eaten anything for two
days, and he would gladly do any kind
| of work for little something to eat. The
work was given him. This man entered
into conversation with his new employer.
In this way it was learned that the
hungry fellow was a victim of the late
| strike, or rather he was his own victim.
He had worked for years at the Sacra-
mento railroad shops. When the Pull
man boycott was declared he, with sew
eral hundred in the same shops, foolishly
| decided to strike too, although he was
receiving So 30 day. To-day he is wan
dering up and down the country at the
point of starvation. He was man who
received good wages year after year, and
yet three weeks after he quit week he is
begging for the bare necessities OF life.
1t is not the railroad company's fault this
| time, is it?
ANARCHISTS.
[Oroville Register.I
| The creed of the anarchist is to kill.
slay, destroy, burn, tear down and de-
molish. His is the hatred against the
rich, the good, the powerful, the high.
| He hates, not individually but collect
lively. He hates all that represents law
and order. He hates Governments and
those who govern. He hates the repre-
sentative of all that is best in society, and
| if he could he would utterly demolish it.
! We can admire the courage OF a man
who has an enemy and will go through
| fire and water to kill that enemy. But
the anarchist does not hate an Individual,
he simply condemns to death the men
who represent all the best there is in
man collectively.
| There is no more dangerous class in the
| world than anarchists, for they are like
the Malay, who, becoming insane from
arrack, runs amuck and slays every be-
| ing he meets, only he lacks the bravery
of the Malay, for be seeks to escape the
| instant he has committed his hellish
deed. The man should be prescribed,
the individuals prevented from public
discussion and their papers discontinued
| by law and prevented the use of the
mails.
The object of these fanatics is to tear
down and uDroot society, and the sooner
we stamp out the hell-born brood the
better for America. Put the whole gang
in pit and let them perish by dynamite
bombs thrown by one of their fellows.
Place them on a railroad train and let
some of their gang serve them as the poor
men were done to death near Sacramento.
Kill off the whole body, so that no more
may be left to propagate their devilish
doctrines. The sooner the great Ameri-
can public puts its elephantine foot upon
the reptile anarchy and tramples it to
death the better it will be for all.
SHOULD REMEMBER.
[San Diegan-Sun.l
! Debs earnestly appeals TO the great
public'' to aid him in his unequal con-
| test, by declining to ride in Pullman cars.
Mr.. Debs should have thought of the
great public when he hit the public be-
tween the eyes in his efforts to strike
at Pullman.
