TIE difference between the Ohio lynching

There is still another difference.
In Mississippi the brute who COM
mits the outrage is usually the VIC
tim, while in Ohio he escapes and old
and respectable citizens are shot
down by order of q military dude. If
either the one or the other practice
must prevail, decent people generally
would prefer the Mississippi style.

APPROACHING MILITARY DESPOTIsM.

dlC9s prevent MIN 1rOn So9An@ OHV
inevitable tendency Of public events
is uncOnsciously lending his aid in
Che contemplated establishment OF q
military despotism in this country.
We referred recently to the annual
report Of General Schofeld, in which
he stated that, by q wise fore
thought" the government began
many years ago the erection of large
military posts IN the vicinity Of rail-
road and commercial centers, in an
ticipitation of such events as have
transpired in Chicago and throughout
che country during the past year.
He said several Of these posts are
now ready for occupancy, and others
are in process Of construction. He
recommended further appropriations
Of congress for the construction OF
still other posts Of this character
and an increase Of the standing
army to occupy them.
That his report is in accord with
the settled policy of the authorities
4 at Washington must, now be still
more apparent and conclusive to
those who heretofore have been halt
ing and doubling in opinion upon
the subject from the following
special to the ST. Louis Republic:
LnAvnNwoRTH, KAs., Dot. 1s.-AssiBtanb
Secretary OF War Doe, accompanied By
Major Humphrey and Captain Barry, took
Fort Lsavsnworeh by surprise at an early
hour this morning on a special.
Colonel Townsend, commanding the fort,
ordered the regulation salute fred, and
took the distinguished visitors in charge
The military prison, the infantry and cav
airy school, and other branches OF the ser
vice were inspected, the assistant secretary
Of war expressing decided satisfaction with
affairs.
Referring to the many recent changes in
the station Of troops, General Doe said that
great benefits were TO be derived thereby,
and shat other changes we're to follow. The
policy of the war department, he Said' Wal
TO assemble regiments near Centers Of pop
ulation and have them in readiness to sup
press riots and mob violence.
This is confrmstory proof, strong
as Holy Writ, that the policy ont
lined by General SChOfeld IS moi
only not original with HIM, but hal
been adopted and acted upon fol
many years and under the admins
tration of both political parties
Many Of the military posts in tn
vicinity Of railroad and commercial
Centers are already in readiness fo
occupancy, the general says, snt
others are in process Of construction
General Doe says 'it is the policy o
the war department to assemble regi
ments near centers of population snt
have them IN readiness to suppress
riots and mob violence" How per
fectly this policy accOrds with th'
recommendations Of General Soho
field.
In considering these recommends
tions we called attention to the cir
cumstsnces which gave rise to the

have no such excuses, and / have asked my
self what could be the meaning Of your
Srmories fitted with engines of destruction
unless you are preparing for wholesale
family massacre. You are striving to place
God in your constitution, and are fond Of
saying, 'In His name;' and I have some
times wondered how many Of your leading
churchmen, who have literally contrib
uted to the construction Of these bRstiles Of
death, have asked themselves whether they
are doing 80 In His name.'"
What a commentary to come from
a citizen of a country to which we
have been sending missionaries to
convert its people to the religion Of
the 'Prlnce of Peace" The compa-
MES and regiments organized to GO.
cupy these city bsstiles and equipped
with the latest improved instruments
of death constitute a private army
directly under the command of the
capitalists of these cities, and ready,
at their instance, to suppress any up
rising Of the common herd.
In addition to these forces we must
not forget the 10000 Pinkertons,
who constitute another private army,
larger even than the present army of
the United States, and also under
the direct and immediate command
of corporations and capitalists.
These forces have for years stood
ready at the call of the railroads and
other large employers Of labor to
suppress strikes and carry terror
into the ranks of the oppressed and
discontented. Several of the state
Legislatures have enacted laws pro-
hibiting the employment of these
ruf6ans; but all that has been nec-
esssry to evsde these laws has been
to change the name Of the thugs,
Instead Of being called Pinkertona
as heretofore, they are now called
deputies; and under this title, they
operate as before.
But this is not all. The railroad
companies themselves are organizing
forces Of their own, and equlpping
them with arms of the most ap-
proved patterns, thus constituting
still another private army. The
military spirit of the age is further il
lustrsted by the establishment of mil.
itsry departments in several of oul
educational institutions, and even II
churches and Sabbath sbhools osten-
sibly dedicated to the service Of the
"Prince of Peace"
The excuse for the maintenance o.
a standing army in the United States
has been the necessity of protection
to the frontiers and the hsrbors and
cities of our sesbosrds; but the pol
10y now is to withdraw the troops
from the frontiers and concentrate
them near the large inland cities
Of course the troops in the seaboarC
fortifcstions are sufficiently near t.
seaport cities that their removal vii

adopted.
1t would seem sufficiently clear Il

the concentration Of wealth IN the
hands of the few, they knew very
well that poverty and discomfort
would be the consequent lot Of the
many. They had read the history Of
the French revolution. They knew
the terrors Of the common herd in
the presence Of hungry babes, pro-
voked by the jibes and insults Of the
lords Of wealth, and shut out from
the common opportunities Of life;
and their "wise forethought" "
prompted them to provide against
the dangers which their own heads
and hands were engaged in creating.
But the establishment of these mil
itary posts is not the only prepsrs-
ton that has been made and are
being made to guard against the up
rising of the rsbble. Every large
city has it's great srsensls and organ
lied and disciplined militia COM
posed of the immediate representa-
tives Of wealth. The October Arena
has an article upon this subject under
the significant title, "PlutoCracy's
Bastiles; Or, Why the Republic Is
Becoming an Armed Camp" This
article is illustrated by engrsvings
Of the srmories OF the Thirteenth
regiment of Brooklyn, N. Y; Of the
Seventy-frst regiment, Park avenue
and Thirty-fourth street; Of the Bos'
ton cadets on Columbus avenue;
state armory, ,Irvington street, Boston; !;
armory of the Seventh regiment,
New York; srmory Of the First corps
cadets, Boston; state srmory East
Newton street, Boston; state armory
at Lynn, Mass; Thirteenth regiment
armory, West Sixty-irst street, New
York, and New Ninth srmory, New
York, ali suggestive in their out
ward appearance OF that historic
grave Of so many human hopes that
was overthrown by the French revo-
Iluhonists.
No mere sketch from this Arena
article can possibly convey to the
mind of the reader an adequate idea
of ITS forceful warning to the Amer
lean people; ana we shall not at
tempt 80 hopeless a task. The
whole must be read and the engraV'
ings seen in order to appreciate the
dangers which they indicate. The
