THE pINKERToN UsURPAT1oN.

IF bloodShed does not come with the
end Of the miners strike, especially in
the Pittsaourg district, then indeed viii
it be a miracle. Elated over their sue
cess in the courts, the coal operators
now propose to set at defiance the law
which invests the state with the mill
tary arm of the state. If a sheriff is
powerless TO enforce the law in his
county by reason Of riot or threatened
disorder, he calls upon the executive of
the state for assistance. II, after in
vestigatfon, the governor concludes
that order can be maintained only by
armed interference, he dispatches a
body of militia to the scene TO CO
operate with the Sheriff. This is the
method Of the laws administration In
suppressing riofous disorders in sover-
elgn states.
Under the pretense of protecting nom
union men from THE violence of the
gtrllSers-and tits only a pretefse, for
no violence is manifest NOW 40 more
than when the strike began-the coal
operators propose to bring armed hire
lings into the state and post them as
sentries around their property. and
these Plnkertvn 'deteetives'' are given
carte blanche to defend the property in
any manner they please. which means
that they are to shoot down tres
passers, using their own judgment as
TO who is and who is not a trespasser.
Thus Is the military arm of the state
usurped by the army of Pinkertons.
It causes a shudder to recall the in
cidents of the great HomestaRe strike
and the blood that was shed then
through the means which the operators
propose again to adopt. The miners
have stood their defeats IN the courts
with great forbearaf1ce and patience.
Their conduct has won for them the
sympathy of decent people everywhere.
But there is no telling what may hap
pen when the miners meet these Pinker-
ton thugs. The history Of Homestake
may be repeated.

RESISTED.

While the county commissioners have
not yet taken any formal action look
ing to the further resistance of the
raise, it is known that they are still in
clined to make good their threat to
carry the matter into court. Commits
Sioner Armstrong was in consultation
yesterday With prominent tax payers
and certain legal lights mapping out
plan of procedure TO yitiate the state
boards increase. Just what form of
procedure will be taken in the courts,
whether by suing out a writ of prohibit
ton, or otherwise, has not yet been
determined, nor viii it be until County
Attorney Van Colt returns to the city
and adyices with his fellow officials
and the supporting tax payers. Upon
what legal grounds the resistance will
be based could not be ascertained
yesterday, but it is known that the
equitable grounds upon which relief
will be sought will be those heretofore
maintained and which, IN brief, are
that without the per cent raise valua-
lions in practically every instance are
already equal to or in excess of the real
cash value. Especially would this con-
tention apply to the assessments on
cash. mortgages and Ike property.
There is little question in the minds
of those who have kept in close touch
with the euializerS' proceedings that
the recent horizontal reductions of 20
and 40 per cent by the county board on
realty in certain districts has been g
prime factor With the state board in
reaching the conclusion to make the
raise. and there may be some doubt as
to whether or not the stand taken by
the county board in the courts lately
on the horizontal cuts will not rise up,
like Ban4o's ghost, to plague the resist
ers in the contemplated court proceed
ings on the increase subject
AT the next session of the board of
county commissioners viii probably be
definitely determined the matter of
seeking the aid of the courts to nullify
the state boards action.

DOWNING Is COMING.
Other California Crack Riders Want
to Enter Cyclomere Meet.

Hardy Downing, the crack Pacific
Coast professional rider. has notified
the management of Cyclomere that he
will be on hand to participate in the
January meet. Downing is consider
ed one of the speediest men in the
west and he will give Champion
Sharrick, Allan Jones and Whitman
hard rubs.
BY the last mail the Cyclomere man
agement learned that three or four
other san Francisco and Pacific coast
riders would probably come down on
their own hook to enter the Cyclomere
professional races. They have heard of
Sharrick's little clean up of about $500
in the opening meet and are perfectly
willing to take their chances for the
prize money.
The st. Joseph. Mo, meet will be ov-
er before the Christmas holidays, and
there will be lull in racing i'm the
States for several weeks. The riders
want to take advantage of that time
and come to Honolulu. They say they
will be well satisfied if they simply
cover expenses as tllev are anxious TO
see the Paradise of the Pacific.
