ing feature of all is the tone OF the leading

allowed TO practically leave the Union be-

with the Chicago rioters. Ii will have to

The yicksbprg Miss, Herald says:
/ There was a time before the war when

| The only incendisry Democratic papers
are the Indianapolis Sentinel. the Chicago
/ Times and the Omaha World The ugly
nature Of the strike in California is largely
due 10 the fret that the press of both par
ties are represented by flake" journals
that never discuss public affairs with any
| degree of Independence. Journalism in
| California always means trucking to
| party and to tho mob element; the Cali
fornia press is for free silver:" IL takes
the Dennis Kearney view of Chinese
| rights; it coddled the Coxeyite movement
and it is today with the mob when the
mob is paralyxlng the business of the
state. The California press, no matter
how intelligent its conductors may be,
| will advocate any false position If they

are afraid of loss of circulation or OF

The clergy of both parties sustain the
| president and denounce the Debs strike as
| an outcome of his desire to show his
| power. Rev. Or. Wilson, of the Eigh-
teenth street Methodist church, New York
| city. denounces Dehs as a dangerous dem-
| agogue. Rev. DIR. Leonard SAYS that he
and Gov, Altgeld ought to be in prison.
| We quote:
1.-The leaders of the strike IN the coal
| regions and on the railroads in the West
| are not reformers. but are destroyers
/ They are enemies Of the republic. of the
| family. Of the church and OF the state
President Debs. OF the American Rail-

/ should be placed behind prison bars They
| are enemies Of society. Whatever il done
/ in this matter the government must assert
! the supremacy OF the law and see that

"Dr. Leonard continued that the rights
| and wrongs OF the Pullman employees aud
| Of the members Of the American Railway
/ Union had entirely disappeared as A factor
/ IN toe present troubles. Ii had become a
| question whether government should be
maintained IN this country aud the laws
| enforced"
