Eugene V. Debs now shows a desire to
return 10 the folly of his strike leadership
of 4 few years ago. He has added his call to
the convention of AL lovers of liberty and
fair play to meet at st. Louis next Monday,
when as he promises. prompt united and
vigorous action will be taken in regard to
the miners strike, and especially the
course of the judiciary in issuing restrain
ing ORDERS He denounces the federal
judges as guilty of judicial treason" and
declares that they should be made to
answer at the bar of an outraged people"
The issue has been forced Upon u.s." he
says, land we have retreated before it to
the verge of slavery. Let us now meet it
as IT would have been met by the patriots
of 1116.' This call with its hint of revolu-
ton is sufficient to show that Mr. Debs is
willing again. despite his past experience,
to tackle the powers of the general govern
Il ent and incite resistance to the law.
So far as this coal strike is concerned it
has in the main been conducted in man
ner creditable to both sides. The strikers,
while active and insistent, have not threat
ened, or made any display of, force. The
campaign for recruits has now and then,
in the opinion of the operators, trans
crossed the law of private rights. and in
such cases the mine owners have appealed
to the courts.
As the case stands today, the strikers
seem TO be in fair way to win al least
a part of their contention. Strikes are Blu.
rarely wholly successful. a compromise
is much oftener reached. But all that has
been accomplished and is in prospect. as
the result of patience and conservatism,
might be lost in a day by the taking OF
some foolish step under the advice and
guidance of some reckless agitator, carried
away by his own Unrest and the sound of
his OWN voice

Peaceful Strikers.
From the Savannah News.

the SaVuHIIaH NeWS
Some of the mine operators in the Pitts
burg district are talking of using Calling
guns on the strikers should they attempt
any interference. So far the strikers as a
rule, have been very peaceful lot and ii
would appear that this is one instance in
which they themselves are entitled to an
injunction. 1t rather unbecoming in the
operators to indulge in such threats after
they have invoked the protection of the
state authorities and the federal courts.

The appetite for mob law is one that

more than half tolerated in the south for a
year past, has plainly encouraged a whole

A puBLIC BENEFAcTIoN.

Every sane person must admit that
the Delaware Hospital, in this city, is a
public benefaction," remarked a person
who is interested in it, to the Wayfarer
this morning. 1T receives patients
from the city and surrounding country,
and we have had them from as far
south as Odessa. Yet we obtain no sup
port from the city as a city, and the
$500 heretofore received from the Levy
Court on behalf of the city and county
at large has been cut off the appropria-
tion list and we are not getting a penny
from that source. We have from
twenty-five to thirty patients in the in
stitution, and it is not right to expect
few charitably-disposed persons to go
down in their pockets and bear the
whole expense of its maintenance The
Levy Court ought to restore the hos
pital to the appropriation list imme-
diately. 1t is in a position to do So
The commissioners should remember
that if many of the patients which we
receive and treat and care for were not
afforded such an asylum they would
have to go to the almshouse or some
other place where they would be a direct
charge upon the county. The hospital
occupies the same position in relation
to to the public that the Ferris Indus
trial School and all other kindred in
stitutions which are open to all regard

ans concluded that that was when the
crime was committed
They repaired at once to the City
Hall and were soon in consultation with
the proper official The down state
man stated that his loss amounted to
several hundred dollars, and not only
that, but he set high store by the pin
for other and more sentimental rea-
sons. His only desire was to get back
his lost property. If necessary he would
pay the thief reward to return it. The
police official told him to go home and
he would see what he could do about
It. If he recovered the pin he would
wire him Immediately to come up and
identify it as his own.
The incident spoiled what would
otherwise have been a very pleasant
evening and they all left for home ear
lier than they originally intended.
Two or three weeks later the down
state man received a telegram request
ing him to go TO Philadelphia imme-
diately. He Immediately wired the fact
to the Water Department official and
requested him to join him at Whining
ton and go along to make the identifl-
cation more complete. He did so, and
all the way to Philadelphia they were
speculating as to what would be the ul-
innate result of their mission. AS soon
as they got to the city they repaired to
the City Hall and asked for the official
with whom they had previously con-
suited regarding the loss. Being ush-
cred into his private Office he shook
hands and, at the first opportunity
handed the down state man his pin,
telling him that it was necessary to Of
fer a reward to obtain it. The reward
was paid and the pin delivered to its
rightful owner. He pinned it in his
shirt front, and made sure that every
thing was safe. Then he expressed a
desire to know how the thing was done.
Soon a rather slick-loolxing young man
entered the room and was introduced.
He became quite ELUSIVE in his demon
strations towards the down state man,
congratulated him upon having recov-
cred his diamond and then retired. A
second or two later the happy down
state man chanced to look down at his
beloved pin, but failed to see it. He
looked again and the fact dawned upon
him that he had been robbed again. He
was almost frantic; looked down his
vest, shook himself and endeayored in
every way to account for it's disap-
pearance. The police official finally
touched a bell and the slick-looking
chap re-entered. He Immediately walk
ed up to the disconnected down state
man and laid the missing pin in his
hand.
That's the way the thing was done,
| remarked the official, with smile at
the victims look of utter astonish-
ment.
The Delaware man remained a little
longer and then left for home, much
impressed by the piclS-pocket's clever
i ness.
