THEY ARE INDICTED.

De1s, Howard and Kelcher, the three
promoters of the strikes and riots in
Chicago, have been indicted by the
special federal grand jury called to con-
slider their case. The charge preferred
against them is conspiracy against the
authority and laws of the United States
and the Indictment of riot and resist
ance to officials and soldiers whose duty
it is to preserve the public peace and
protect the lives and property of citi-
ZenS.
This prompt action of the grand jury,
il is to be hoped, will be followed by
equally speedy judicial procedure, and
there is every reason to expect such
action. The facts connected with the
there will be no difficulty in obtaining
the evidence necessary to convict.
The crime of which these men stand
accused is one of the most heinOuS OF
which cognizance is taken in the stat
utes. Next to that of treason, it is the
most serious offenSe known to the law,
for it comprehendS murder, murderouS
assault, arson and malicious destruction
Of property. Indeed, it may be so con-
Strued as to include treason likewise
in its scope: and. as there are many OF
the elements of treason in the present
uprising, the accused may be called
upon TO defend themselves against that
charge also. Interference with the
United States mails is p unstable with
the severest penalties; and of this Of
Tense the strikers have been conspicu-
ously guilty, Notwithstanding the re-
peated warnings of the officials and the
public press.
The universal inquiry will be: What
effect will these indictments have upon
the strike and the strikers? If the men
are not maniacs, incapable of reason
ing and regardless of the dangerous
ground upon which they are treading,
1t will put quletuS upon the mob spirit
and bring about a restoration of order
10y means of arbitration, or a resort TO
the courts
Every lover Of good order-every man
who respects the law, and looks to it in
time OF need to redress his grievances,
and at all times for the protection of
his life and pOssessions-wi be graft
fed at this prompt graphing with the
spirit of mobocracy. The conflict has
long passed the limit of legitimate
trades unionism, and has become con-
dition of war. AS such it has to be met.
and as conspiracy, if not as treason, it
will have to be stamped out.

Theoretically. Gov. Altgeld is right,

WHERE The BLAME RESTS.

claim IS made by defenders of the
Pullman boycott that the assaults upon
life. the destruction Of property, and
the resistance to law which have marked
the progress of the strike during the
past two weeks are not the work of the
men OIL strike, but of a mob OF desper-
ADDE'S. some of whom are in the
employ of tho corporations and are
acting under instructions from the mali
ayers of the corporations with the object
of bringing the cause of the strikers
nto diSrepute. Such absurd statements
find credence in few quarters, and the
assertion is made that all acts of the
strikers are strictly within the law.
1t is not to be doubted that majority
OF the men Oil the strike are peaceabIe
citizens, who pay due regard to the let
ter of the law as to property rights. even
though they may violate its spirit. But
| experience in the past has shown that
in all times of public commotion vio-
lence has been all too prominent. A
| labor strike brings to the surface all the
| worst elements of urban society,".
| Thieves seize upon such occasions to
| plumber and steal; turbulent fellows
delight in such opportunities as an ex
cuSe for the preparation of crimes,
feeling confident of immunity from
! punishment because Of the difficulty of
| fixing their guilt, arguing that the indi-
vidual is lost sight of in the mob.
In all probability many of the crimes
that have marked the progress of the
railroad strike were not committed by
the strikers themselves. But this fact
| does not relieve them from the legal
| and moral responsibility for those crimes.
They have furnished the opportunity
| for indulgence in disorder, and others
have improved it. They have INDUCED
i'll incendiary harangues-furnished the
! blazing torch, as it were-and others
have applied it. They have threatened
violence, and others not Interested with
them may have reSorted to it. They
have menanced the railway companies
with the destruction OF their property,
and others have made good the
| threat. A very weak man may start a
boulder rolling down mountain side,
but after 1t has attained Roadway no
| human power can stop its progress. If,
in its descent, it shall crash through
houses and destroy human life, is the
man who first gave it impetus guiltIess?
The GLOBE trusts that the claim made
Oh behalf of the striking wUrkmen is
warranted by the facts. 1t believes
that few of them ale Willingly guilty OF
the commission of crime or of designediy
abetting it. But even though they were
to a man regardtul of the property
rights of others, and vigorous in de-
nouncing outrage, they cannot escape
responsibility for the acts that have
been committed. The ranks of the
workers contain many men who are the
peers intellectually and morally of any
men in the land, yet they also contain
many Others who are ignorant, brutal
by nature and criminal 10y instinct
These latter cannot always be con

The wise heads are trying to shape
matters so that the Norwegian, Swedish
and German elements shall have each
candidate, and SO that the candidates
shall come from different congressional
districts. Naturally enough the candi-
dates themselves have a good deal more
interest in their own success than they
have in this polite arrangement of
matters. They therefore complicate
matters seriously Tor the wise heads by

Albert Berg, candidate for secretary
of state, who is a Sweue, lives in CHS
ago county. which is in the Fourth con-
gressional district, in which Ramsey
county is. MIR. Berg came to st. Paul
with the belief that victory perched
upon his banner. Perhaps it had not
occurred to him that Oar Reese is can
didate for clerk of the supreme court
and lives in the Fourth confessional
district. 1t it had not, he must have
been made painfully aware of it yester-
day afternoon. From the nature of
things Mr.. Berg and Oar Reese cannot
slate together. To make matters worse
for Mr.. Berg. j. W. Peterson is also a
Swede, and lives in another con-
gresslonal district. Mr.. Peterson
is very convenient candidate
for Reese to work with, and
all day the two made lively havoc in the
ranks of their opponents, OF at least
they thought they did. But it may turn
out today that Mr.. Berg is winner.
and that Oar Reese is not in it. Mr..
Berg has certainly very strong sup

Wabasha. and Col. Westerman, OF
Stearns. tail up for this nomination with
rather interesting strength for each.
Fhe friends of Oar Reese are the
most sanguine of success OF the hackers
of any Of the candidates. Oars COM
petitors for the supreme clerk nomin-
alton are A. Z. Pidgeon, of Wright
county; James l.. Helm, of Rock
county; j. ID. Jones, of Todd county;
o. B. Gould, of Winoua, and e. B. HoI-
comb. OF Washington, the present ill.,
cumbent. Early yesterday after
noon the hackers of Reese
predicted confidently that he
would be nominated on the second bal
lot Later in the afternoon, after Reese
had materially Increased his support,
tney asserted he would be nominated
on the first ballot. However, Pidgeon
and Helm have good deal Of strength,
and may be able to go into the conven-
ton with troublesome followIngS. The
supreme clerk nomination is the last
one to be made at the convention, hence
should Berg capture the nomination for
secretary of state there might be good
chances for the competitors of Reese.
There seemed to be strong senti-
ment among the delegations to turn
down Chief Justice Glliillan. a very
prominent politician of st. Paul admit
ted that Judge Start. of Olmstead coun-
ty, would undoubtedly give Gilfillan a
hard run for the nomination. Several
politicians from Minneapolis and other
parts of the state said that Start would
capture the nomination. John w. Arc
lander. of Minneapolis, who is working
hard against Giliillan says Start has
over 6J0 votes and is still gaining.
Judge Graham Powers, of Granite
Falls, will be the opponent of Justice
Collins. A politician said that Powers
had made strong inroads in the follow
ing Of Collins, but lie doubted his abil-
ity to defeat HIM.

trOlled. They are like wild beasts long
restrained of their liberty. who become
doubly ferocious when accident opens
their cages and releases them to prey
upon the community.
There is an indirect or constructive
responsibility for recent acts of law
leSsness which the strikers cannot eS-
cape. They furnish the opportunities
which others take advantage OF. The
accessory to crime is in law equally as
guilty as its perpetrator. This is a
principle long ago settled. and it is nee
essary to the safety of society that it
should be so, for it frequently happens
that the instigator of felony is more
guilty of crime than the agent he
chooses to execute 1t.
The experience of the past has demon
strated that wherever mobS are gath
cred together there will be violence. 1t
is the natural tendency of crowds to
oveIestimate their own strength and to
magnify their own grievances A few
turbulent spirits will soon affect thou
sands with their own la wless mood, and
it is but step from peaceful protest to
disorderly denunciaton.f from denuncia-
