THE KLONDlkE GOLD BUG.
Editorial and News

Candor compels US to make few re-
marks concerning the remedies sold by
DIR. Kuram whose "ad'' appears in an
other part of the paper at top of column
next to pure reading matter. DIR. Kuram
states that his blood lnvigorator when
taken according to directions will snatch
a man from the brink of the grave in all
cases save when a lynching party re-
solves to reduce the population. AS the
doctor has always paid for his advertise
ments promptly we see no reason why
his word should be doubted. We advise
all readers of the bug" therefore who
have chilly blood to purchase bottle of
DIR. Kuram's blood invigorator and warm
up. the blood invigorator when exter-
nally applied is also good for corns.
The report that Israel Robbins was suf-
fering from yellow fever caused by de-
cayed vegetation is erroneous. The only
thing approaching vegetation that has
passed into Izzey's stomach during the
last nine months has been the extract of
rye sold at Slatter's dance hall. The
young mans illness has not been properly
diagnosed. Persons with yellow fever do
not see green snakes and long-billed
pigeons in the air. Izzy is evidently suf-
fering from nervous prostration that be-
gins with Jim.

Words Aptly Spoken.

"The great mining corporations in
Pennsylvania which have by solicita-
tion and inducement supplied them
selves with alien laborers not amen
able to ordinary means Of control can
not escape serious responsibility. They
owe to the state which protects them
in the peaceable possession Of their
great properties a reciprocal care in
the management Of their business so
that their mining operations shall not
be a standing menace to good order.
If they will have Huns to do their
work for them they should provide
against the risk and danger incurred
and the cost of repression devolved
upon the counties and the state. 1t is
not fair that other industries should be
taxed in order that the mines may be
filled with laborers who work for low
wages. Employers have an unques-
toned right to get their work done as
cheaply as possible; but the people of
the coal regions have also a right to
| live in peace, and to be free from the
| lawless outbreaks which put life and
! property at hazard at the hands of men
who contribute little or nothing to the
maintenance of government, but who
add materially to the cost of it,"
Few of the comments which have
been elected by the Lattimer affair are
more apt than the above from the
Philadelphia Record. Representing as
it in certain sense does a portion Of
the anthracite industry, The Tribune
desires to express it's entire accord
with the foregoing sentiments. Moth
ing is palmer in the light of experience
than that cheap labor, when cheapen-
ed to the point Of unreliability, does
not pay and that it's employment when
there is an alternative involves a
crime to all concerned-to the public,
which is made to suffer innocently; to
the decent laborer, who is forced into
either a ruinous competition or else q
change of occupation fraught with
great precariousness; to the cheaI
workman thus imported, who is made
the victim of hostile and often unfail
feeling prevalent In his neighbor-

that the more intelligent anthracite

tween the mob and the deputies oc-
CURED? The force under the direcuon
OF the sheriff was composed not of ir-
responsible rufllans, or hired detectives,
but of patriotic and responsible men
who in their capacity as citizens volun.
teered to risk their lives in the cause OF
law and order, and the protection OF
property, These men were as truly sol
diers as were the volunteers who thirty
six years ago offered their lives TO the
defense of the government of the repub-
lie. The mob at Lattimer was on an
errand of lawlessness. The men VINO
comuosed that mob were enemies OF
peace. law, order and the rights of 9TH
ers, and not only invited but challenged
the duly constituted civil authorities to a
collision. That a bloody fate overlook
60 many of them Is to be deplored, but to
place the responsibility upon the civil
authorities, under the circumstances as
now known to have existed, is in Itself
an incentive and announcement to mob
law. 1t is the duty of good citizens to
uphold the duly constituted authorities
In the performance of their often dis
agreeable but necessary duties. To con-
done wanton lawlessness is inimical to
government itself, the protection OF
which every man looks for when needed.
The maudlin sympathy for the Lattimer
rioters, so lavishly interspersed with
condemnation of the sheriff and his depu-
ties will only incite the contempt of
reasoning men. The men who were
killed at Lattimer were defantly bent on
violating the laws they were warned
again and again to desist; the sheriff
and his deputies were the representa-
tives of law and order, and had full au-
thority to stop lawlessness. That is the
whole case briefly stated.

Further Comment
On Laftimer Riot
A Natural Result.
From the Wilkes-Barre Times.


1t is argued by some that the strikers
were marching peaceably along, doing no
damage and that under these circum-
stances the sheriff had no right to inter-
fere. Here is where there is a misappre
hension of the law. The mob in question
had openly expressed a determination to
march on the Lattimer breaker in which
were working men and boys who did not
desire to strike. They had said they were
going for the purpose of cleaning OUT
the workmen and compelling tnem by
force to cease work The mob had not
reached the breaker, but were making for
it as rapidly as possible. The sheriff had
warned them early in their march that
he would not permit such an invasion
and attempted to stop the crowd, which
ignored him and pushed on. He then
reached the head of the column again by
means of trolley cars and again demand
ed that the mob dsperse. Instead of OBJ
serving the order some of the strikers
assaulted the. sheriff while the crowd
marched on. 1t was then. seeing that
| force was the only thing that would be
| effective in compelling respect for the
! sheriff's orders, and knowing that in a
| hand-to-hand conflict without weapons
| the strikers overwhelming numbers
would defeat the deputies and no doubt
! cause the death of some of the latter, the
! deputies fired. with the result which Is
well known. There is an erroneous I'M
| preston abroad that to be within the
| law the sheriff should have waited until
| the strikers were on the ground owned
| by the coal company before using force,
| but in a case like the above such delay
! is not necessary. If a peace officer has
| information that crime is to be COM
| mitted it is as much IN the line of his
| duty to prevent that crime, If possible
| as to apprehend tho criminal after the
crime has been committed. This fact
must be constantly borne in mind; the
strikers were law breakers, they were
menacing private property and interfer.
| ing with the rights of others-both op,
| orators and their employees. This def
ance of the law had been going on for g
| number of days. The sheriff of the coun
| ty had for four days been endeavorine
| to restore order and maintain peace He
| had several times read the riot act bu
| without effect. The strikers refused tC
disrerse and set at naught the authority
of the sheriff of the county and through
him, of the people of tho state. They
even threatened the person of the sheriff
| and laid violent hands on him anC
seemed likely to do him bodily injury
What followed was but the natural re
suit of such defiance of lawful authority

Michievous Demagogism.

From the Rochester Chronicle.
There is quite obvious attempt to
manufacture public Indignation against
Sheriff Martin and his deputies. The at
tempt is mischievous and should be COM
bated. The tendency to hastily condemn
and persecute officers of the law who,
in the discharge of their duty, have been
unfortunately compelled to kill persons
who were violently opposing themselves
to the law and its officers, Is too strong
already. 1t should be checked, rather
than encouraged. If it is not checked
the outcome will be that officers of the
law will be taught that no emergency
will justify them In taking life, that
public opinion demands that, rather
than fire upon mob, they must yield to
it. The hands of the officers oil the law
thus tied, every attempt to uphold law
and order against the whim of the mob
will be a mere mockery, lawlessness will
always have its way, and the law will
be unable to efficiently protect any law
abiding citizen in the quiet enjoyment OF
his rights. When a community falls into
the habit of hastily and unthinkingly
condemning and prosecuting officers OF
the law, solely because men have been
killed by the officers Of the law, that
| community is guilty of suicidal folly.

Beware OF Them.
From the Washington Post.

L
Unfortunately for the best interests of
the American people, we have among us
a number of newspapers which appeal to
prejudices of the ignorant and the vicious
elements of society. Unable to secure the
respect and confidence of the better
classes, they cater to the approval of the
mob. In the case of such an outbreak as
we are now discussing, they invariably
represent the victims as virtuous and per-
secuted martyrs, and the officers of the
law as brutal ana callous monsters. The
man in the ragged coat is always a pure
and noble creature. The man in the clean
shirt Is always a cold-blooded and re-
morseess villain. These papers teach the
poor to regard the Independent as their
enemies and to look upon the wealthy
as the cause of all their sufferings. Their
function Is to foment hatred between the
classes, to encourage violence and law
lessness. And such occurrences as that
referred to are always seized upon, dis
torted, colored and misrepresented, to
serve the wicked end they have in view.
These newspapers are now industriously
at work making it appear that the men
killed and wounded at Lattimer last week
were guiltiess of offense, worthy and un-
fortunate persons trying to make live
lihood for their starving families, and VIC
Tins of an unprovoked and ruthless
| butchery. The sheriff and his deputies
| are described as bloody Janissaries grati-
| flying a thirst for slaughter. We are asked
to gaze upon this picture OF tortured in
| nocence and to join in the cry for the ex-
| termination of the offenders. They are
| pursuing their old familier tactics, adding
| fuel to the fame of excitement multi-
| plying the elements of calamity, fan
ming hatred and instgating new horrors
and excesses. Law-abiding people should
beware of these professional enemies 10
| society and civilization.

The Value of Uniforms,

There is one thing for which the
foreign born resident of this country
has respect, and that is military au-
thority as vested in a uniformed body
of men, trained in the art of war. Prob
ably it is the only symbol of authority
which impresses many of the ignorant
class as being in any sense potent In
the lands from which thay come vast
standing armies are continually flash
ing the evidences of the power of the
government before the awe-stricken
gaze of thu common people and the
influence Is supreme in it's representa-
tion of law and order
Here there is little display of gov
ernmental potency. A sheriff, barring
little or no insignia of office, at the
head of squad of men, dressed in
every day attire and frequently COM
posed Of citizens who are an every day
sight on the streets, attempts to exer-
else authority over hundreds of rioters
to whom the simplicity of garb no less
than the uncomprehended Language
means nothing. Naturally enough, from
their point of view they regard neither
If the seventy deputies had been prop
erly uniformed the other day at Lat
timer there would not have been the
woeful results which forever must
mark 1t as Black Friday. The march

lily yielded their respect to the emblem
of government power in the military
effect which they all know enough tc
fear whatever may be the tongue oil

the law.

It might be we'll for alien organizations
to go rather slow in the matter of reso-
lutions condemnng the sheriff of Lu-
zerne county. 1t is easy to be unfair and
a simple matter to utter rhetoric which
is prejudiced and influenced by purely
clannish emotions. Hasty action of this
kind will iniure what are now believed to
he conservative and helpful organizations
of citizens of foreign birth or of foreign
ers not yet sworn to uphold liberty by Sc
curing law and order and equal rights,
which are only possible in state where
law is supreme and order the natural
condition Of civic and industrial life.

1t would not be necessary to call out
the state troops every year for riot duty
If the county sheriffs were as efficient,
courageous and prompt as they should
be. The mob at Lattimer would not
have been so astonished at lne terrible
consequences of their defiance of the
sheriff II they had seen or heard of any,
thing of the kind before. These same
men are orderly enough in the presence
of militia They will be orderly here
after in the presence of the sheriff,
backed by armed deputies, since they
know now the awful consequence that
may follow defiance of the legal rep
resentative of the law and the majesty
of the state. The shedding of human
blood is always deplorable. We are
sorry for the ignorant men who perished
because of their ignorance of the fact
that there is any potency in the civil au-
thority in this country. They were not
wholly to blame for their ignorance,
since the acts and attitude of many cow
ardly sheriffs had confirmed them in this
| belief 1t was necessary that this con-
victon should be shattered and these
| ignorant foreigners taught that though
| the law here does not oppress them as
in the land of their birth, 1t neverthe-
less stands for order and must be re-
| spected and obeyed.

also of insuring rate of wages to
their employees which will be sufficient
to compensate honest labor intelligent

country has, with few honorable ex-
ceptions, studlously distorted the aims
of the Anthracite coal operators as

closer study Of coal matters necessita-
ted by the recent occurrences in the
vicinity Of Hazleton will lead eventual

Fair Plny Called For.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The civil authority has been frequent
ly criticised for its laXity in enforcing
the laws at grave junctures. The minis
ters of the law are. of course, not in
fallible, but they are not to be con-
demned without a full fair and impair
tial hearing in the law courts The sher-
if who was called upon to perform his
perilous duty at Fazleton Is, of course,
answerable for his acts before the law;
and public opinion as to his conception
of his duty and his rigorous execution of
it should be suspended until he is justi-
fed or condemned by the searching pro-
cesses of the law. should he be brought
into court as dispatches foreshadow.

No Internatfon ma, Complications.

We notice that Representatives in TINS
country of the governments of Austrla'
Russia and Germany are reported to
be inouiring into the details of the Lat
timer tragedy with the purpose of as
certaining whether there Is in the cpl
sode anything calling for action by
them looking to the indemniiication or
the families of the foreigners shot On
the Lattimer highway. To such in
uuiry there cannot be fair objection. 1t
is a part of the duty of these consular
officials If citizens of the United States
were shot in a riot in foreign country
we should expect our consuls in that
country to prosecute similar inquiry.
Only in this way can there be assur-
ance that treaty rights are duly OBJ
served and American credentials ac-
corded proper respect abroad.
But the fact that an inquiry of this
character is to be made at Lattimer has
no further significance. The men shot
by the deputies on last Friday after
noon were shot not because they were
subjects of Austria, Russia or Germany
but because they were assembled in q
manner contrary to law for an Illegal
purpose and because when informed of
their infraction of the law and ordered
to disperse they persisted in disobedi-
ence and through some of their num-
ber eXerted force upon the chief repre-
sentative of the law, endangering his
safety. A body of Americans which
el,O IN, In tf
the foreign countries above named
would be shot down by the police or
sodiery of that country with equal
ceerity and this government could not
rghtfuly say a word in protest.
In pointing out these facts we are
free absolutely from any prejudice
against the victims of the Lattimer
shooting. On the contrary we feel for
them and for their families a degree of
sympathy because of their ignorance
and the many mitigating circumstances
which would not be felt for a body of
educated native citizens dispersed in a
similar insurrection against the peace.
But facts are facts, regardless of ouI
sympathiss and at a time when SC
many voices of mischief are raised in
anarchistic abuse of the representatives
of law and order for their resolute re-
preston Cf rioting it is necessary tC
emphasize the fact that the Lattimei
martyrs" We're martyrs only to theil
own inadequate conception of the duties
and responsibilities Of those who make
their home in these United States.
