books by receiver. The warrants were
issued in the following October and in

names of Charles II. Mckee, a Pittsburgh
lawyer. and eX-State Treasurer Benjamin

jury found true bills against al but Mckee.

paratively few people in the courtroom.
Demonstration Prevented.
There was an attempt at demonstra-
ton, but this was sternly depressed by
the court officers, whose loud shouts of
Order" Order" ''Silence," were eff
fective in silencing those jubilant spir-
its who wished to give vent to their
satisfaction by cheering. The officers
were unable, however, to keep back those
who struggled to get to Senator Quay
and congratulate him. Chairs were up
set tables were brushed aside and hats
were smashed by the onrushing crowd.
Senator Quay, with broad smile on his
face, responded pleasantly to the greet
ings and congratulations of those who
crowded around A few of his politi-
cal friends were there, and these men
were loud and sincere in their express
sions.
Cheers Outside the Courtroom.
Although the court officers prevented
the cheering in the courtroom, their
jurisdiction did not extend to the cor
ridors of the city hall, and the first
group of men who left the courtroom
sent up a mighty shout, which was
taken up and repeated by the crowds
gathered just outside the dead line
drawn by the watchmen, beyond which
only possessors of tickets were allowed
to pass.
Senator Quay walked with his friends
one block down Broad street to the
office of his counsel, where he made
his escape from the surging crowd.

So far as we know the action of the
state authorities of Idaho at Wardner
is without a parallel in this country
and could not be duplicated in any
country in Europe, except Russia,
without precipitating revolution.
The eagerness With which the daily
press rushcs to the defense of the
authorities in their autocratic and
defenseless action, and the unanimity
of these papers in their support of
officers who violate all law in their
alleged support Of law and order
would make the imps of Hades smile.
We oppose destruction of life aud
property, but we are not opposed to
it at any cost. We favor justice, even
at the cost OF life and property and
when the arbitrary ruler supports in
justice he may reasonably expect an
explosion at some stage Of the pro-
ccedings.

Can YOU tell why?

The democratic and republican or
gQns are agreed when it comes TO a
question Of punishment Of workers
who have violated law and there is
no disagreement as to the right and
duty of the employers to plumber the
toilers, but there may be a variance
in their notes whcnitcOmes to a qucs-
ton of the extent to which it may be
best to rob. Likewise there is har-
monv between the leaders of the two
guardians of modern civilization when
it comes to question of concessions
to the robbers They differ only as to
Ornamentation of phrases i'll which
professions of love for the toilcr are
expressed.
\ good illustration of the truth of
this assertion is found in the unanimi-
tv with which the organs of the old
parties condemn the strikers at Ward
ner, Idaho, and their ominous silence
when armed thugs shoot unarmed
workingmen at Lattimer and Pana.
Those who rely on either of the old
parties for relief from wrong and in
justice will know, in the end, what
emptiness is.

Those negro lynchings down in
Georgia are burning disgrace to the
country, Those white men who hang
the negroes and who cut off the ears
and fingers of the victims as trophies,
belong to as low scale of civilization
as do barbarians. Those acts are as
bad OF. worse than the crimes OF which
they accuse the negroes. If they de-
sire to teach the negroes to regard
and obey law it would look like they
ought to comply with law in their
punishment of negroes.-Aududon Re
publican.
But these white men believe in the
expansion Of the application OF the
principles of benevolent assimilation.
If the administration may shoot,
kill, burn and destsoy negroes who
have been guilty of no offence except
chat of possessing fertile lands why
may not part of this nation kill a
few wretches who have been guilty OF
q nameless crime?
Those southern whites are dom"
wrong, no one doubts or denies this,
but why condemn them and defend
The administration in the commission
of similar crimes?

Our brothers and sisters IA ki,

trouble. 1t is probably nothing s,l.-
GUS, but it has furnished occasion ion
a class Of people who think they are
opposed to socialism TO Wig their
heads, sneer and say: Il told you SO"
lust wish to remind all such that So
cialists expect as much. We are aware
that there is a class fpeople who are
unfair by habit. They would not con-
sciously do an unfair thing but hered-
itv and habit have them bound, they
are slaves ald know it not. For these
people we have sympathy for they are
utterly unconscions of the humorous
spectacle they present.
We now learn that socialism is a
failure, ard why, pray? Just because
anattemptto demonstrate tlepractic-
ability d socialism has met with some
obstacles? We did not expect to sue
ce1without meeting and overcoming
impedincnts
Ruskin has now come face to face
with obstacles that all of us mustlace
sooner or later, and all who are seek
ing to solve the problem Of self-gov-
ernment must feel great interest inthe
outcome OF the trouble at Ruskin.
We do not feel that their troubles
are matters ofregret although we SIM
cerely sympathize with all who are
honestly struggling to find the true
solution for such exigencies.
We do not learn to conquer by nev-
CT meeting the foe. FIVE would have
conscious power we must meet dam
ger and overcome It, and as Ruskisl
has met the foe we trust her people
will have the courage and wisdom to
triumph.
