The Right of the Road.
buffalo Evening NewsD


President Gompers. Of the American
Federation OF Labor. says, in referring TO
the killing of men near Hazleton, that
the men were marching in the public
highway. They had as much right 10
march to Latimer or any other place on
the public highway as the Sheriff or Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, or the President
OF the United States" In the abstract.
this is true. In the pursuit OF business,
pleasure, or convenience the highway is
free to all. The law protects the citizen
in his legitimate use of the highway, and
has furnished processes by which this
right may be guarded.
1t is only when suspicion Is cast upon
the intentions of individuals or of men
marching in columns that interference
can be made, and even then the law di-
reefs the manner i'm which the individual
or the combination may be interfered
with. The intention of the marching men,
TO whom Mr.. Gomper9 refers. was known
by their threats, their excited speech, and
their reckless mode Of procedure. They
were marching TO oyerawe peaceful
mine-workers and the ow lers of valuable
property. These threaten ed people had a
claim upon the protection of the law as
strong as the peaceful citizen traversing
the highway and the officers OF the law
were there TO protect them.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-09-16
All "Marching" LawIess.

New York Press.)
The ignorance displayed by a portion
of the press of the fact that large
bodies OF men have no right to take
possession Of public highways for any
purpose whatever, peaceable or warlike.
is lamentable, or devilish. according as
to whether it is real or feigned. 1t is,
in either event, curious. from the fact
that the ignoramuses all live In cities.
where bodies not of LOCO. but OF ten
men. would not be allowed to parade
without police permits.
All this marching" business Is utter
,y lawless. 1t is lawless for the rea-
son that has been only too plainly APP
parent In the Hazieton affair-that 1t
starts with private presumption OF pub
lie rights and leads TO disorder and
collision with public authority. II has
been declared lawless, and forbidden in
operation by every court. State and
Federal. to the attention of which 1t
has been brought. II there had been
an injunction out against. 1t in Luzerne
county there would have been no blood
shed.
The right to public assemblage for the
discussion OF public affairs and the right
to private control Of public highways
for the furtherance of private ends by
the process of intimidation are as far
anart as the poles. They are further.

MATER For THE POOR.

Surely there ought to be some way OF
providing city water for the very, very
poor.
city that are occupied by families whose
heads have been unemployed for months
These families have been unable TO
pay their rents. IT is so much money
lost TO the landlords--it can never be
collected. AS a rule. no expectation OF
collecting II is entertained. In many
cases these tenants have defaulted also
in the payment of their waterfalls and,
In consequence. the city water has been
cut off.
Think of what that means! DO you
believe such premises are kept clean?
1t is impossible that they should be.
And II they are not, then they are
menaces to the public health.
You may say that some OF the
tenants are worthless characters, and
are entitled to no consideration at all
from the city. and there may be some
truth in your assertion. but remember
that those worthless characters by
breeding diseases have 1; In their power
20 endanger hundreds OF valuable lives
Remember whence come our servants
our nurses. our cooks. our housemaids
Why many Of them have their abodes
In neighborhoods which are the breed
Ing places OF disease.
We sometimes fear that Richmond Is
too well satisfied with her sanitary con-
dition. We are too ''cock sure" that
yeliow~fever. cholera. and other dread
fui plaques can ind no footing here.
Certainly We have great advantages of
situation; but We should not trust too
much to them. especially In periods of

VOTE TODAY.

If you feel any interest in the business
future OF Richmond show 1t to-day by
going to the Democratic primary cleo
ton polls and voting for five Of the best
candidates presenting themselves for the
House of Delegates.
Little else than new subjects Of taxa
ton" and "retrenchment" will be heard
in the next Legislature. At every single
point Rchmond's interests should be well
guarded. Every other constituency will
keep sharp lookout for itself, and we
shall have to do the same, or-suffer the
consequences.
In Bev. Munford and Connie Sands,
who will have a "walk-over,' for the
Senate, we shall have two able, expert
anced, and Jealous senators. Now, five
good delegates are needed TO bear them
company in the Legislature, and to be
ms useful TO us in the House as Munford
and Sands will probably be in the Senate.
To-day's duty Is to select these fvei
Give it attention.! Vote, and do your
best to make our party ticket strong and
truly representative of Richmond and
Richmond's varied interests.
General taxation, merchants licenses,
&C., will be talked over and voted upon
in one form or another from the begin
ming to the ending Of the next legislative
session. There will be much work for
our members to do. So we shall need
men of understanding, of vigor, of faith
fulness, to serve us as we should be
served. To-day these men are to be
selected. and each public-spirited Demo
crat should regard it as his bounden duty
to go to the primary polls and record his
vote for the five candidates whom ne
considers the five best on the list.
Yes; be sure to vote to-day, and re-
member that you must vote for FIVE
members Of the House-no more, no less.
