In sober earnestuesS, gentle reader,
and judging from the degree of sagacity
! the Government has manifested in its
| dealings with these railroads heretofore.
/ does it not occur TO you that it the rail-
roads were TO be bought by the Govern
ment the purchase would rebound chiefly
/ TO the benefit of those who have railroads
| to sell, and that If the Government were
| TO undertake TO operate them it would
/ operate them chiefly for the benefit OF
those who have pulls" on the traffic
managers?
TURNED INTO A HELL.
Los Angeles Times.l
| The vicious foreigners, who have turned
] the coal regions of Pennsylvania into q
hell upon earth, still continue their beat
ings and killings. 1t is pity this coun-
| try has no law permitting or compelling
the deportation of cheese illiterate and
! brutal miscreants to the lands from
whence they came. There is certainly no
room for them in free America.
A DANGEROUS PARTY.
| Los Angeles Tlmes.l
| Soon after the strike broke out the Pop
ulists recognized the movement as one
| which had their entire approval, and in.
dorsed it at many of their conventions,
as they did here IN Los Angeles. They
/ also went so far, in some cases, as to
| adopt resolutions denouncing the United
| States Courts which were engaged in sup
pressing violence. The Peoples party is
rapidly coming out in its true colors.
Hitherto 1t was supposed to be composed
mainly of cranks and soreheads-of neg
ative characters-but it now becomes
more ana more apparent that it intends
to place itself on record as party which
positively approves of lawlessness and
disorder-a party which sneers at the
laws OF the land and the officials who are
bound to execute them, and does all it
can to bring them into contempt with the
masses
KEEP THEM OUT.
lSan Jose Herald.l
The Governments of Europe are adopt
ing the most merciless laws against an
archy and anarchists, and unless strict
precautions are taken to prevent admis-
sion many anarchists will find their way
to the United States. And this must be
prevented at all costs. We have now far
too many loud-mouthed brawlers against
law and order and civilization, and these
vermin sfron Europe must be kept out.
The leaders OF mobs, the mischievous ag-
itators of all classes now in this country,
are mostly men of foreign birth and alien
sympathies, and their influence is wholly
mischievous, and should be nnllfed as
much as possible.
DIGGING THE PoPULIST GRAVE.
lTulare Register.l
There is Populist daily paper pub
lished at Los Angeles, and, in the Sun
day issue thereof, we find clipping
from the V0lce Of Labor, copied with
evident approval, which declares that,
inasmuch as no jury will convict a
wronged father for Staying the seducer
OF his daughter, therefore no jury ought
to convict one who should mete out the
same sort of retribution to Grover Cleve-
land, Olney, Huntington and Pullman,
alleging that they have mot only seduced
but raped the Goddess of Liberty"
In another and an original paragraph
we find President Cleveland classed with
Pendergast, Guiteau and Chris Evans.
The same paper brands as outrageous
the sentencing of the Wealers to four
months Imprisonment for stealing a
freight train, and there is scarcely Pop
ulist paper that reaches our desk which
does not contain utteranees of the same
incendiary nature. If the papers aud
speakers of the Populist party are not
digging the grave of that party and Dig
ging it good and deep, then do we mis-
take the temper of the American people
and have also underrated the force of
that spirit of anarchy and downright law
lessness which pokes its ugly head up
here and there.
