Can't Fasten It There. Since the murderous assault on pres- ident Frick of the Carnegie company, by the anarchist Berkman, the Repub- lican press of the country, which, i1sal- ways ready to charge ali the wrongs and outrages committed to the account of organized labor, have been insidu- ously and earnestly laboring to connect the cowardly work of this assassin, with the Homestead troubles, and to have the workingmen - of the country primarily held responsible for the das- tardly deed. In this effort they may be success- ful, so far as men are concerned who want to believe that way, but upon sensible people and the public generally, their insinuations and conclusions will fall without effect. Although the feeling toward Mr. Frick on the part of the workingmen in his own employ, as well as those who sympathize with them, has been anything but cordial for years, yet he, nor those about him have ever felt that his life or his person were in any dan- ger, whatever. He has gone to and from his business, without molestation; has been among his men, seeing to the interest of his firm, when ‘excitement ran highest and the feeling between them was bitterest, without fear or pro- tection ; and has'had his office in ithe busiest and most crowded part of Pitts- burg, accessible at all times to all per- sons, and never had reason to suspect. bodily harm from any one connected with the organization with which he now has the differences, To attempt to cast the odium of the erazy act of a foreign anarchist upon the men at Homestead, or to connect it with the efforts of labor to secure reasonable pay tor responsible and constant work, is a job that even the advocates of monopo- lists, ‘and © the, supporters. of that system of government that makes mill: ionaires at owe end and: paupers at the other, will be unable to accomplish, or make even reasonable head way in. If we go back to the primary causes, that have filled our country with the crazy-cranks, who arecommitting such deeds as BEREMAN is guilty of, we will find them in the fact of too-lax immigra- tion laws, and too great a willingness on the part of protected employers to take advantage of them in the importa- tion of free trade labor, no matter from what European country it can be se- cured. Two fifths of the howling anar- chists in this country to-day, were brought here by companies, such as that of which Mr. Frick is the represen- tative, to take the place of our native and naturalized laborers, when these companies wanted to reduce wages and their employees protested against it. To-day the CARNEGIE company will place in its mills at Homestead, Anar- chistes, Nihilists, Autonomists or the rag-tag and-bob-tail of all Europe, in preference to enlightened, honest, native or naturalized workmen who belong to or believe in organized labor. In hundreds of mills in this country, that and profiting by the protection the gen- eral government is giving them,the ver- iest crank from the old World who believes neither 1a the right of proper: ty, peace, God, devil or anything else, can find employment, if he would work, when law-abiding, intelligent and well meaning workmen «of this country would be turned away, because they refused to foreswear their labor organi- zations. ' Is it to be wondered at then that we have reached the condition of affairs that now confronts us ? That there are BERKMANS in every town, and danger at every turn. That honest labor, os- tracized, is restless, and that crimes, guch as that of Saturday last,are on the increase? And would it not be better for all, if the Republican press and pro- tected employers would have the maan- liness to place the fault where it be- longs to greed and their methods of do. ing business,rather than to the labor or- ganizations, that. repudiate and de- nounce such outrages as bitterly as does capital. ——-EacAN 1t 18 said is soon to be home from Chili, to take part.in the campaign for Harrison. What a re- lief to Chili it will be, but’ good Lordy, what an additional load it will add to the poor old Republican party, already weighted down with ‘office holders and government pap suckers, - Disgracing the Militia There has poseibly been no more brutal, barbarous or disgraceful out- rage perpetrated within the State of Pennsylvania, since the indians were estopped gibbiting white pecple on the sharpened ends. of hickory saplings, than that committed on private Iaxs, by order of Colonel StrEATOR and ap- proved by General Sxowpex and Col. Hawkins at the military camp, at Homestead, on Saturday last. Foolishly, or idiotically it might be termed, young Iams proposed “three cheers for the man who shot Frick.” STREATOR overheard it, and at once or- dered out his regiment, had Iams plac- ed under arrest and, without trial,hung up by the thumbs until unconscious, and when sufficiently recovered shaved one half his head and face, stripped him of his uniform and in blue dril- ling over-alls and check shirt,drammed him out of camp, the whole cowardly and brutal proceedings being endorsed and approved by the commanding of- ficer, SNOWDEN. We had thought that the days of inhuman and barbarous punishment had passed. That the times of the rack and wheel, and thumb-screw torture were relics only of the vicousness and savagery of the dark ages. But in this we were mistaken, Supposedly enlighten- ed and civilized Pennsylvanians,—men wearing the uniform of her militia and bearing with them her commission as commanding officers, deliberately or- der and approve the punishment of one of their subordinates, that for real brutishness; inhuman cruelty and un- heard of barbariem, has no equal in the records of this or any other civiliz- ed country on the face of the globe. Iams may have been guilty of an of: fense, as unbecoming a citizen ‘as it was disgraceful to a scldier, and one | which in his case deserved prompt re-| buke and punishment. But the infer- | nal methods resorted to, by the should- | er-strapped “brutes in command, to show their pawer and authority in his | case, was 4 thousand times more des- | picable, cowardly, and deserving of thumb-hanging punishment than the crime for which he was made to suffer. | It is acts like these, on the part of military officers, more than the | thoughtless and foolish. words of the privates in the ranks, that are calculat- i ed to bring lasting - disgrace upon the National Guard of the State. J Streator, HAWKINS and all connect- | ed with thisouirageous affair,as well as SNowbDEN, who approved their dofngn | should leave the service with Iams, They are & greater disgrace to the Militia and the State than is he. EL SRR. May Over-work Himself. Mr. WaiTeLaw REip is working himself awful hard to get up to that pitch that he can pass a resolution in sympathy with the locked-out union workmen, at Carnegie’s and other tar- iff protected mills. It has not been long since Mr. REID believed in jorgan- ized labor. In fact it is only about a month, since he was its most open and avowed enemy. But that was before he was a candidate, and of course it will take him longer to get up to the scratch than if he had not spent an ordinary life time opposing that which he now professes to favor. Mr. Riep may not be very honest in his lately discovered sympathy for organized labor, but he'll work very hard to make believe he is, even if it lasts no longer than the closing cf the polls. But he should’nt over- work himself. = Let him pass;his reso- lutions and quit. Mistook Its Purpose. If the PINKERTONS, in their statement to the Congressional committee, had given more insight into their methods and more evidence of the necessity of their business, with less of a tirade against organized labor, it would have bad fully as much effect in softening public opinion towards them, as the stump speech they made. They seemed to forget that it was PINKERTON meth- ods that Congress wanted to know about, and undertook to show the wickedness of labor organizations, and the “ornery- ness’ of laboring men. When the State Legislatures get through with them next winter, they will open their eyes to the mistake they made. ~———Subscribe for the Warouyan, _ BELLEFONTE, PA., JULY 29, 1892. 1s It Not Time to Call Them Home. The State Guard has been at the ser- vice of the CARNEGIE company now about eighteen days, They were or- dered out by the Governor, at the ur- gent demand of the Sheriff of Allegheny county, who, insisted that the peace o f the Commoawealth was disturbed that he was powerless to enforce order, unable to execute the orders of the courts, and helpless to protect proper- Xy. ” If such was the condition of affairs at the time the Sheriff made the de: mand, it has not existed since, nor does it exist to-day. Homestead is as peace- ful at this time and has beensince the hour of the withdrawal of the PiNkgR- TON army, as any town in the State. The Sheriff of the county has, unmo- lested,served warrants on those charged with offences against the law, and the courts of the county have held them under bail for their appearance at trial. The works that were proclaimed to be in danger are in the possession of their rightful owners, who inform the public daily of the number of workmen they have employed and who are peace- fully filling the places of the locked out laborers. The rights of persons and of property are recognized by all and no- where is there any evidence in the ac- tion of any man or body of men, that the laws could not be properly enforced, and the rights of all protected, through the courts of the county. . With ‘this condition ot affairs at Homestead, what reason or excuse is there for the continuation of the milita- ry, for an indefinite period of time, at the great expense it 1s to the people of thestate. Ithas already cost the tax- payers $400.000, and but 400 men have been secured to take the place of the 3,000 that Mr. Frick saw proper to lock out and refused to treat with. Sure- ly there ‘can be no intent of keeping the’ State Guard on duty antil this compa.’ ny scours Creation for men to take the plage of their former employees, and teaches a lot of green hands the mys. tery of making steel plates and build- ing beams ! This is not what the militia is main- tained for. Its duties are to crush re- beliions, prevent invasions, quell insur- rections and suppress riots that'are be- yond the control of the sheriff. There is neither of these at Homestead, nor are there threatd of either. Why then the military at an expense of $22,000 per day ? There may be suspicion that peace may not be assured without the pres- ence of the State Guard, but mere sus- picions are not sufficient grounds for keeping the military in the field, at the great cost it is to the tax-payers! Any one can have suspicions. Should they also be provided with the protection of an army ? Starting Right. The California Democracy have made an excellent beginning in the present campaign by selecting as chair- man of their State committee one of the shrewdest, most aggressive and pop- ular politicians they have, in the per son of Mr. Max Porper, of San Fran- cisco. With a thorough knowledge of the political situation in every section of the State, a large personal acquain- tance with the party workers in every county, a master of details and organ- ization, and enjoying the confidence of Democrats of all shades of opinion, Mr. Popper will take hold of the work, and unless all signs fail, he will not be in charge long until California, in place of being surely Republican, will be classed as one of the doubtful states in November. With a general in charge of the Democratic forces, such as we are confident he will prove, there are rough times ahead for Harrison and the rail- road monopoliste, who have so long dominated the politics of the Pacific coast, ——Mr. Harrison's personal cam- paign, as conducted by himself, seems to have a good deal of the CARNEGIE | Its a kind | company methods about it. of a lock-out campaign, in which every- body who does not howl with the boss for the bosses purposes and benefits, are denounced ae enemies and kicked from the premises of the owner. Possibly the boss in this instance, may be as anxious for ‘‘arbitration” before the election, as some of his former support- ers, seem to be at this time. Collector Cooper’s Forgetfulness. From the Pheenixville Messenger. Thomas V. Cooper, Collector of the Port of Philadelphia, late political boss in Delaware county and editor of the American, of Media, therein, in the cur- rent issue of his journal has a long and labored article on the situdtion at Home- stead, which he'heads “The Bogy Man,” beginning and ending it with words of poesy. : i Of course Mr. Cooper wades into the workmen cf Homestead with upturned sleeves, and hurls anathemas at them in the biggest chunks of exaggerated Eng- .| lish at his command. It is quite natural he should. The tendencies of his life have led him to’ turn his back upon his original state, tasting the fruitage of spoils and bask- ing in the blaze of power. Collector Cooper is an evolution of that system described as making poor men poorer and rich men richer, and per consequence battles for the more favored class forgetful. He forgot that while he was elabora- ting upon the idea of a workingman in Pennsylvania earning $7 a day when occasion offers, that heis paid $22a day for every one that goes to make up the 365 of a year, whether he is at his desk in Philadelphia, gunning in the country, fishing at the sea shore or on a month’s jubilee trip to the Pacific coast. He forgets further, that the workmen who is puid $7 a day when he has work to do earns it ; that he earns it mid heat, and steam and noxious gases, and that his limbs and health and life are in coa- stant peril. He forgets bow vastly dif- ferent are the active life conditions of the man who earns his living by, the sweat of his brow in the struggle of mill lite, with his life conditions while earning three times as ‘much i diem, 8 a pampered favorite of political ac- tion. He forgets too, that $7 a day paid men in the iron ‘or steel business is an exceptional wage ; that there are thous- ands of workers in those metals in Penn-’ sylyania who are laboring hard 'for one- third of the amount, and less, per day. CT ——————— A Basket Full of Tariff, From the Dubois Express. | ‘When the tariff on sugar was 88 per cent. the consumer who invested a dollar in sugar carried home in his basket 56 cents worth of sugar and 44 cents worth of tariff. He now carries home sugar instead of tariff, asd discovers that investment gave him about ten pounds more sugar in his basket. Now did the importer pay the tariff on sugar when you could only get ten or twelve pounds for a dollar, or did the ‘consumer pay it? = The tariff on rice is ‘106 per cent. Hence when you invest a dollar in rice you carry home in your basket 47 cents worth of rice and 53 cents worth of tariff. = This rule applies throughout. Can you afford it ? S——— Why the Democratic Party Grows Great. From the Erie Herald. Congressman Wilson, of West Vir- ginia, said in his notification address at Madison Square Garden: “The duty of the Democratic party commits it to a never-ending warfare with the strongest and most enduring forces of human nature—the lust of power and the lust of greed.” This isa great truth and cannot be too strongly im- pressed on the minds of the people. It explains the wonderful vitality of the Democratic party. There has never been a time 1n the history of our gov- ernment that the people did not need— and they need it now more than ever— protection from the lust of powerand the lust of greed. Cameron Knows His Own. ' From the Scranton Truth. The esteemed Bradford Rupublican suggests that United States Senator Cameron ‘‘assume his proper place as a member of Democratic party.” This will doubtless cause Senator Cameron to smile, although it is no easy matter to do so. Why should Cameron join the Democratic party when he can get a Republican Legislature to elect him to the United States Senate every time he wants to succeed himself. A Diflicult to See. From the Cleveland Plaindealer. It is difficult to conceive how the law can hold the workmen guilty of murder and the Pinkertons guiltless. The in- vading mob is scattered and the identity of ite members for the most part lost, but the man who employed them, and by that act became responsible for their conduct, is well known. When the People’s Party Gets In. From the New York Herald. Westerners continue to complain that “tornadoes come without warning.” When the People’s party get in we will have cyclones and tornadoes preceded by a band of music and a free luncheon.
