Federation Of Miners are anarchists
and aSsassins. II this be true, they
should be brought to trial and punish
cd for their crimes. To tear them
away from their families and dump
them out upon the desert Of western
Kansas, without drink or food, may be
severe punishment, but severe &c Il Is,
II is not an adequate penalty 10 mets
out to assassins.
"What sort Of men are these
miners9" The Rev. DR.. GLADDEN., Of
Columbus, Ohio, who visited Colorado
for the express purpose Of investiga.
ting conditions in that state, says Of
them:p
The miners Of the Cripple Greek dis
trict are, as I am told, very decent
body Of men. They are mostly Irish
men, Cornishmen and Scandlnavians:
they are not assasslns By birth OF
breeding. There must have been
lsome d~esperadoes in that district who
plotted this outrage, and who proba-
bly, supposed that Il could serve the
interests Of the miners union. But
the members Of the union are not i'm.
beetles, and they could not have help
ed knowing that such 4 crime would
be a terrible Injury to them. To bold
them all responsible for It, to give
them no chance to disavow 1t, to pun
fish them all, untried, as the perpetra-
tors oft, lie q species Of justice pecu-
liar to Colorado. Nothing resembling
it has ever been In this country before.
It is evident that the ruling purpose
Of the Citizens Alliance finds express
sion in all this. The crime Of crimes
is membership in q labor organization.
Il is not murder and assassination
that they want to prevent; It is the
organization Of labor.
Their crime sis membership in .
labor organization" II anything
were needed to demonstrate this fact
the action OF the Citizens' Alliance,
the auxiliary Of the Mine Owners
Association, in prescribing all union
men, printers az we'll as miners, watt
ers, teamsters, cooks, and, in fact, al
affiliated branches Of organized labor,
has served the purpose. Not only
union worklngmen have been pros
crlbed, but the sympathizers with
them have been placed under the ban.
Even 3 lawyer that had the temerity
to appear in the interests Of union
men has been thrown into the "bull
PEN"
The authorities Of Colorado, the
mine owners and Citizens Alliance
have evidently been sowing 3 crop Of
dragons teeth.

A Tammany Governor?

1t is reported that Tammany may not
support Judge Parker with its whole soul
unless it Is permitted to name the demo-
cratic candidate for governor. There is moth
Inc startling in the announcement. The
Tiger was grumpy after the Chicago con-
vention in 1892. and had to be coddled. Mr.
Whitney undertook the job. and made
thorough work of it. The price paid for
the Tigers support of Mr.. Cleveland that
year was the control of New York city.
What resulted from that the Lexow COM
mittee in due time uncovered Never was
New York city worse governed or more
rotten than during the time that followed
the democratic victory of 1892. VIII the
friends of Judge Parker pay the Tiger as
much as the friends of Mr.. Cleveland paid?
The Tiger comes high. both before and
after election and is crafty negotiator.
