trusts and the forces of government,
are conscienceless criminals when in
such a desperate extremity they re-
sort to the brutal methods of self
preservation which the masters and
exploiters of their class have forced
upon them?
As between this blind and cruel ex-
IRENE and the opposite extreme OF
abject and cowardly surrender, the
former is infinitely preferable; for at
least the spirit of resistance to op-
preston, and the poverty and misery
which spring from oppression, keep
the hope alive that the horrors of
slavery shall not endure forever. But
for that spirit the sun Of labor, If it
ever had one, had long since set in
everlasting gloom, and if unfortunate
ly, or tragically as in the present
case. that spirit is expressed in blind
ferocity and brutal revenge, at least
those who are morally responsible by
having inculcated the teaching and
doctrine which led to crime. should
have humanity enough in their hearts
to restrain their cruel hands from
stoning the victims and rejoicing in
their calamity. If they lack the moral
fiber to aVow their own responsibility
and accept it as becomes men, they
should at least preserve the decency
Of silence.
