ECHOES OF THE STRIKE.

/
! Workmen who have had experience in
one strike are in no hurry to engage in
another, That is one reason Debs finds
dlfflculty in inducing eastern railroad
men TO go out in sympathy with him.
1t is well for disconnected labor to look
over the field cautiously before determ-
ming to quit work which they may
find difficult to bet back.-Philadelphia
Ledger Rep9.
This is on the theory that burnt
| child breads the fire. The deluded fol-
lowers Of Debs looked after they leapt,
while they should have done so before.
The idea that damage may properly
be done ITO a number of persons or cor
pora tons because some one person or
corporation has committed a wrong is
preposterous. When strikes are so di-
rected as to hurt those who have moth
ing to do with the causes of complaint
they become movements that are out
side of the limits of public indulgence,
and that deserve the severe reprobation
of all good citizens.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat Rep.).
No matter on what theory strikes are
conducted their direct results have been
to injure the persons and property of
those not in anyway connected with the
subject in dispute.
No matter what justice or injustice
there may have been in the original de-
maEds of the Pullman strikers, no mat
ter whether Mr.. PullmanS original
position was right or wrong, in refusing
to consider all propositions looking to-
ward a peaceable adjustment of the
controversy, Mr.. Pullman is wrong and
the American people are unit in say
tool
Dispatch Qndl.
This is strange theory to put forth
that the justice or injustice of the de-
mands made on man. and his refusal
to comply with them, has nothing to do
with the right or wrong of his position,
1t is as much as to say you are wrong
even if you are right
Has not a man who desires to work
in the place abandoned by a striker just
as much title to protection in his liberty
as citizen as the man who is hired to
take any other vacant place? Has not
man whose Worbmen have left his
service just as much right to employ
others in their place and to be protected
in the possession of his property and
the peaceable conduct of his business
as any one has to employ a new force
of men and to be protected in the con-
duct of business which he has just
established New York Times CDem.).
If a man has a right to live he has a
right to labor, for by his labor must he
live.
If the Debs, Sovereigns, PETERS and
their kith and kin do not like the
American system of government they
are at liberty to emigrate and nobody
will object. but the government of these
United States is not going to be over
thrown just now because they do not
happen to like it.-Philadelphia Times
Oem.).
This is said apropos of PETERS recent
speech in the Senate Mr. PETER has a
right to advocate any changes in the
government he chooses, but the people
need not. and probably will not, accept
them.
Nine immigrants detained at Ellis is
land showed the excellent quality of
the raw material of their citizenship by
attempting to escape. Four succeeded,
but the other five We're caught. They
went a step further to prove themselves
future good Americans by drawing
knives on their captors.s A year or two
hence they will probably be Pantatas,
labor leaders or candidates for high
political office, or all three.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.
A residence of one month is all that
is necessary to give these same for
