DEBSISM.

Powderly, Irons, Debs-they all play the
fool in the same way and are sure TO come
to an end in the same fashon.-Philadel-
phia Press.
When the issue narrows down to Debs
VS.. the United States, Mr.. Debs will sit
down with jar that will loosen his teeth.
Chicago Tribune.
1t is mistake which, if persisted in, will
grind the American Railway Union to pow
der as between the upper and neither mill
stone.-Philadelphia Telegraph
Putting up the price of food for the people
of the whole Western country won't prove
a very popular way of beginning the anti
Pullman strike.-Philadelphia Inquirer
There are some things too hard to under
stand If Mr.. Pullman is forced out of
business into bankruptcy, where comes
In the benefit to men who are out or work
and want employment ?-Washington Post.
If the switch tenders will not return to
their posts the railroads should be thor
oughly protected in their efforts to move
trains with other help though it should be
necessary to put deputy policeman or an
armed militiaman on every crosstie between
Chicago and San Francisco.-Phladelphia
Record
The intelligent members of the American
Railway Union can hardly fail when they
examine the matter coolly and critically to
condemn the use which is being made of
them-and the loss 10 which they are SUBJ
nor their employers have any part.-Detrot
Free Press.
Mr.. Debs and the men who behind
him have placed themselves without the
pale of the law They are not to be con-
sidered. They are arrayed against the pub
lie good, and unless by force of arms they
can sustain themselves in their position
they must take the consequences that justly
fall TO rebels.-Detroit Tribune.
American people are fair. They sympa-
thize with workmen when wages are low.
They would aid them to better wages. But
they cannot consent to the general stop
page of railroad traffic and the loss of many
millions of dollars because one demagogue
out i'm Chicago is not blessed with ordinary
common sense.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
There have been many suicidal labor
strikes in the country ordered by hot
headed labor officials, but never before has
one been ordered that did not have some
shadow OF justification or excuse. We can
not conceive Of any method that could have
been adopted by the foes of organized labor
to wound organized labor so deeply.-Phila-
dsphia Times
OF course, the country wishes we'll to the
cause of labor, organized and unorganized,
for the great mass of the people are them
selves laborers in one field or other, but
until such outrages as are now being per-
petrated on the public by the American
Railway Union are stamped out by the
law and rendered impossible OF recurrence
we must stop boasting of our liberty, intel
ligence or civilzation.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
1t is impossible that such lies Debss)
should deceive anybody, but we shall prob
ably have to cope with them in the old
fashioned way-that is. by delaying and eX-
postulating and waiting for the rioters to
gain strength and confidence till they be-
gin to commit murder and arson, and then
sending the militia TO shoot them down and
drive Debs into the seclusion of some liquor
saloon, where Irons finally terminated l..s
career as knight of Labor.-New York
Evening Post
