of the trial of Sheriff Martin and his
deputies for the murder of the striking
coal miners at Lattimer, Penn, and
who read the charge Of Judge Wood
ward, could not be surprised at the YER
diet. "Not guilty. seemed the only one
possible. Speaking in the rough, there
was no preponderance of evidence to
show that the deputies had become a
lawless mob (such as they must be sup
posed to be, if they were out for muir
der and not for the execution of the
law), and there was no such evidence
to prove that the strikers were an or
derly crowd, obedient to the commands
Of the officers of the law. On some
points there was a conflict of testi-
mony, but on the whole the testimony
went to, show that the strikers were a
menace to the community, and We're
so considered. In view of the undoubt-
ed grievances and the character of the
strikers, this might have been taken
for granted, and the evidence proved
the fact with clearness. There is un-
disputed testimony to show that when
the deputies started on their expedition
they were cautioned by Sheriff Martin
to keep cool and not to shoot unless
their C'ourO lives were in danger. The
strikers themselves testified that they
had been ordered by Sheriff Martin to
disperse, and that they refused. Mar
tin and Others said some of the strikers
assaulted him, and while the prosecu-
ton did not admit this it did testify
that Martin collared two of the strik-
ers. The sheriff did not give the order
to fire, and nobody assumes to know by
whom it was given. There was one
shot, then two, and then a volley. The
testimony differs as to the continuance
of the shooting, but as many of the
strikers who surrounded Martin had
their backs turned upon the deputies it
is easy to explain how some of them
were shot in the back, without assunl-
ing that the deputies fired upon the men
after the flight began. The bare fact
that the strikers refused to obey the

responsibility upon them, for he is nee
essarily allowed wide discretion in de-
Gliding what circumstances warrant or
necessitate such an order. Under such
conditions, the man who disobeys an
officer of the law, does SO at his own
peril There was 70 question as TO the
legal status of the sheriff or of his dep
uties. They had been regularly consti-
tuted. Quite apart from the technical
justice of the verdict are the Industrial
wrongs of the strikers, which we have
already admitted, and quite distinct is
the question, whether the killing of
nineteen strikers and the wounding OF
3S was unavoidable, on September 10,
1897 Whether this deplorable incident
be deemed a blunder or an accident. the
consequences must inevitably fall upon
those who defied the officers Of the law

in advance. So many are the reports,
however, that little confidence can be
felt as to the attitude of any of the
powers, save England, who seems exu-
berantly friendly, and Austria, who
seems rather threatening. The latter
could hardly be expected to support
Spain alone, and England, on the other
hand, has such large interests at stake,
that she might be expected to do her
utmost to prevent a clash. The Euro
pean situation is rather cloudy, and,
like the presidents policy will have to
have time for DEVELOPMENT.
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-03-11

No speculation as to the purpose of
Sir Julian Pauncefote's call at the White
House is needed to convince us that in
the present emergency Englands inten-
tions toward the United States are Of
the most friendly and even solicitous
character. The queens message and the
recent utterance Of the London press
and of public men in Britain are evil
dence enough. 1t is truth as old as
history, that one nation does not go out
of its way to concern itself with the af-
fairs Of another without a motive. You
may term, that motive selfish, if you
wish. The characterization is of as lit
tie consequence as it was when France
turned to the assistance of the Ameri-
can colonies during the revolution. AS
matters stand today, it seems clear that
we can count upon the moral support
of Great Britain, and even much more
than that, IL we need or desire it. That
the British government wants some-
thing in return is platitude. Affairs
in China have again assumed a critical
phase, owing to the inslstance Of Japan
upon certain exclusive privileges at Port
Arthur, and here the czar may be sup
posed to count upon the support of both
Germany and France Now, it happens
that the United States has some interest
in this very crisis. These are. commercial
interests and though by no means so
important as those of Great Britain,
they are in fact and principle the same
as hers. If France, Germany or Russia
takes possession Of a country to develop
it, there win be discrimination against
the commerce Of every other nation.
When Britain opens a new tract OF ter
ritory to trade. it is free to the world
1t is not believed that England has
specific designs of seizure in China, but
she does insist that whatever ports may
be taken by other nations shall be open
to the commerce of the world. That
is the American policy also, and 1t is the
policy of Japan. Here, then, is oppor-
tunity for an understanding with the
strongest maritime power in the world,
which might be Of inestimable advant-
eAeo " dN7S diA0 WltlOll might DS btCuTe
without compromising us to the extent
of an alliance offensive and defensive
The point would be of Importance to us,
in case Of European complications grow
ing out of the Cuban settlement, and in
that England's interests are second
only to our own. At all events, mere is
a way open for a rapprochement Of the
two Bnglish-speaking peoples and the
extinction of mutual prejudices which,
though already moribund, sometimes
crop out with unreasonable, unreasoning
and exasperating virulence. A complete
understanding between the two would
be one of the most gratifying signs and
best guarantees of progress and civiliza-
| ton that could be given. Blood is
thicker than water" and the navy of
each nation would applaud such peace
as if it were a great victory.
