UIO W TO DE VELOP MAN1100D.
Wo boast of being Freemen (?) on tbit
Continent. There re no slaves among
us. We are all Sovereigns I No man
is bound to work, or labor for another
without adequato compensation.
If
Richard Iioe cannot afford to labor for
John Smith, at ninety centt a day, lot
him quit like a man, and so inlorm bis
employer and look elsewhere for em
ploymont at bettor wagos and show to
tho world that he is not a slavo I
On the other band if John Doe
agree with John Smith to work for
him at fifty cents a day, Mr. Boo must
not interfere with, or molest him. That
is the law backed by common sense
and must bo upheld with muskets and
cannon, if nccossary. If Air. Koo vio
lates this law ho becomes as much a
law-breaker and an enemy to good
society as a horse thief or a bank
robber and cannot expoct to be shield,
ed by those who prefer civil govern
ment to anarchy and mob rule.
It is most humiliating while there
are millions of acres of land on the
globe to be had at ONE DOLLAR
AND TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER
ACRE, to hear the clamor for "bread"
This is the hugest humbug that was
ever attomptcd to be palmed off on
Freemen ! Tho able bodied, hale man
who sets up this howl is eitbor a fool
or a knave, and will eventually become
a drone upon society instead of a bless
ing. It is offensive enough to listen to
the whining! of discontented women
and children, but when it comes from
a follow who exclaims : "I am just as
irood a man as you are;" it sounds
odious and discounts the manhood of
the braggart heavily in the estimation
of all reasonable men.
How to Teeat Mobs. The editor
of tbe Baltimore Gazette, in alluding to
the recent riots in that and other
cities, gives our views ot dealing with
a mob, in a single paragraph. lie
says:
"It la a falia mercy ta aim over the beada o
tba crowd in time of riot, or to Ira blank cart
ridgea. Troopa ihonld not bo need uatil all other
hope la goao than tbey abould bo need aa a ear.
goon naea tba knife, eulmly nnd deaiaivaly, aad
wholly without pity. II a tha trueot kiudneea
to kill ataroly. It la to be fairly proanmad th
tha leadora of the riot era In front aad aaoroat
tha troopa. Tbeaa am tbe peraoua to kill. The
aim ehould be low, and delivered la a bailneei
Ilka way, aad followed Bp quickly by aaothor
and another volley. Thia aonoda araal, but It la
tbe true mercy at laet, for it ooeompliahea the
reault In the qulckeat way aad tho woy taaat
eraetefalofllu."
1 Had this course been pursued in
Pittsburg, the torch of tbe incendiary
would not have been brought into re
quisition, nor a debt of six or eight
millions of dollars bequeathed to the
tax payers of Allegheny county. To
have the troops fire on the mob and
then run off and bide, was adding fuel
to the flame of madness visible on
evory bund.
To Tin Point. Tho editor of tho
Philadelphia Times, in discussing mob
rule, closes an article on that subject
with these words: "The laborer who
fails to be the anfaltoring supporter of
law and order, is falso to his govern
ment, false to bis home and false to
himself." A more complote truism
cannot be couched in the same num
ber of lines; yet, how many wh lay
claim evon to godliness, and moro than
ordinary intelligence, ignore this fact
in practice. Wjll, the old adage has
it: "Moo will be tools in the midst of
college and schools."
Thi Eastkrn Wab. The confusion,
riot and murder ontailcd on ns through
the "strike," in onr State, and else
where caused us to overlook tor the
time being, what was going on In
Kurope and the East Fortunately
We have but little on this point For
some cause or othor no serious conflict
haa occured between the Russians and
Turks the past fortnight It is report
ed that the Turks have met with some
revorses,but that they aro getting ready
to give thcirencmios a "shocking blow."
Barbarities without number are being
committed oa both sides, npon the in
habitants through which the armies
are moving. This is natural, and the
advocate of war must be very stupid
If they did not expects all manner of
crimes to oa commivwjn.
Postponid. The Democratic State
Convention has been postponed lor
two weeks from August 8tb to the
22d. This will give our friends amplo
time to select a Senatorial Delegate.

THE LESSON OF PITTSBURO.
Ill starred PilUburg I She haa 'sown
to the wind for years, and now the
whirlwind comes in all its unspeakable
terrors. Tbs mob that mocks bor
lives, bor property, her laws and her
peace has not been crentcd in a day,
nor in a week, nor in a month, nor in
a rear. Its seed has been scattered
and pretensions luYtnou j , "-
has boon watered from the ruslrum
and from the press and Irom political
dolivorence of both parties, until H bsJ
borne Its logical harvest It blossom
ed when tho ropudiationist was the
favorite ior publio office and the press
gratefully snuffed its Iragrauce, and it
ripened as the thistle ripens and spreads
pollution on evory breeze, as tts pub
lio officials preferred prison cells to
obedience to the judgmont ol the high
est courts, and its popular voice called
the convicted disturber ot tho peace
from tho jail to the first office oi tho
city. Now the lull fruition has burst
poo tboso who have thoughtlessly
planted and nurtured the germs of
lawlessness, and it is simply a mon
strous demon that desolates friend and
foe. And yot there is no voice from
the press or people of Pittsburg that
heard effectually above the howl of
the tempest, that pleads for law and
order. There are feeble editorials dep
rocating tho turbulence, and there are
citizens here and there who seem to
understand that the mob is the enemy
ot every attribute of civilization, but
there is no word that speaks for the
Pittsburg press, or the Pittsburg au
thorities, or tho Pittsburg pooplo, that
is not siloncod by the recognized and
undoubted popular sympathy with the
rioters. A fow days ago tho railroad
was the objootivo point of the lawless
and there was no healthy publio senti
merit to stay the murmuring streams
of revolt from swelling to a flood-tide;
next the arsonal, tho gun fuctorios,.the
stores laden with implements of doatb,
were made the playthings of the law
less; then the railroad buildings and
the cars, with their wealth of freight,
were mado offering to the rioters' tri
umph, and scores of dead and wound
ed sond shadows to many homes, and
appal tho nation at its own possible
perils. And to-day where will tho
hissing streams of agrarian lava reach ?
Into whose store-bouse will it enter?
Upon what trade will it pour its dead
ly flood ? What class of property will
it grasp for its enforced tribute ? M'hat
homes will it mark for desolation to
morrow? If it can impress the rail
road, stop its trains, give its shops, its
cars and commerce to the flames, why
may it not rovel in ovory house, ap
propriate the products of evory mill,
confiscate the goods of every store
and empty the vaults of every bank ?
And this is the reign for which a com
munity, as a community, has practi
cally proclaimed its sympathy, and
that the press of the second city ot the
Slate treats as a dispute between a
corporation and a few scores of em
ployes. By tho accepted laws of all
civilized lands, the already debt-ridden
municipality must make restitution for
the proporty its people have destroy
ed; several millions will be required
to pay the price oi nourished lawless
ness, and the cost in good name and
credit is beyond computation. It has
been a costly sowing and a fearfully
costly reaping, and if their terrible ad
monitions shall be unheeded, the pros
perous industry and the thrifty trade
of Pittsburg will be noted only as
things that were but are not Phtla.
dcipnia jtmrs.
Wholes alb Ruin. Mob rule is as
fatal to commorco and trade as poison
is to tbe body. The Philadelphia Prtt
thus eunmoratee some of the people
who are injured by tbe lawless inter
ruption of tbe commerce of the coun
try : "Thoro is not a merchant, me
chanic, manufacturer, or producer
there is not a farmer, nor a widow
looking for her interest Irom her rail
road stock ; not an insurance company
not a building association ; not a sav
ings institution ; not a shipper or ship
ping company, that does not feel this
baneful, blind, and utterly illogical
terrorism ; and there is nothing loft
but the law law violated and tram
pled undor foot nothing, indeed, but
a manly, indignant protest from the
great mass of American worrtingmen,
It is tbey who should spoak. Lot them
repudiate the horrors enacted in thoir
name by a comparatively fow reckloss
disturbers of tbs public peace."
Nonsbnbi. The baby.cry which we
frequently hoar raised against capital,
is nothing less than cheap nonsonso,
lor it is notorious to everybody caps
ble of taking a businoss view ef the
transactions of his neighbors that cap
ital is as notoriously unemployed as
tho tramps on the highways. Tbe
cause of this is as visible also, as the
milestones along a turnpike the loss
ot confidence through misgovernment.
Immoral and corrupt public sorvants
have destroyed commerce and trade,
and have well-nigh undermined the
foundations of our government, and
without a change ol rulers, capital and
labor will both be rendered worthless
on this continent No other problom
is so easily solved as the ono indicated.
And yet, men hesitate about applying
a remedy for this commercial evil, be
cause they discard patriotism and em
brace bigotry.
C li bated Aoain. Forney,with "my
two papers, both daily," coaxed several
of the members of II ayes' Cabinet
over to Philadelphia, ostensibly for the
purpose of junketing with tbem over
tbe coal Holds of tbe State, but in fact
to interview them in relation to some
appointments. The 77m!, of Satur
day , In alluding to the affair, says: "As
we expected, Colonel Forney lost his
grip on Cabinet officers Evarts and
Derena early in their Pennsylvania
campaign, and Don Cameron gobbled
thorn bounteously and landod them
safely In Washington late Thursday
night Forney beat Cameron In mak
ing speeches to th multitude, but
Cameron gently whispered in th ears
ol the State and Law departments all
tbe way from Lebanon and llarrisburg
to tbe National Capital. So rum the
world away I"
Substantial, SmpATar. Th mio
whose sympathy was with the mob
during the recent strike is going to re

community pay th damage th riot

The foregoing reads like a businoss
document, and we have no doubt, if
the "headquarters car" is molested by
a mob some heavy work will be done,
bocause the Governor has ovor two
thousand regulars undor his command
and tbe sympathizing members of "tbe
National Guard of Pennsylvania," and
the rioters had better subside as the
car approaches whore tbo parties indi
cated have bivouacked, for a week pre
vious. We hope thoGovornor will not
be compelled to abandon this special
car programme as suddonly as on a
recent occasion.
Order No. 2. is the best mob sup
pressing document that has appeared
since the outbreak commenced, and we
have no doubt but tbat the Governor
will carry it out to the letter should it
not be hooded by the mob.
A Fool at La rob. During the riot
in Altoona, on Sunday last, District
Attorney, Col. James F. Millikon, tho
prosecutor of the criminals of Blair
county, made a speech to tho mob, and,
among other foolish and wicked things,
he said :
"Every man aot eoa trolled by the Pennaylvnnla
Railroad la with yoa heart and aool. Bo long na
you are arderly, inlerferlog la ao man'a private
buaiaeae yoa will have tbe rapport of Blair coun

llow will ex-Col. Jim deport himself
when he rises In Court and demands
the conviction of the rioters, after bid
ding thorn God-spoed ? How will the
Court and the eriminals look upon the
Commonweslth's oflioer then ?
Bapical Results. While the gov
ernmentState and National are in
the hands of a party engaged in divid
ing Credit Mobilior stock among its
Congressmen, it is impossible to havo
anion, harmony and peace. Commun
ism is child of thia marrlago, the
boirs of which latten on riot, murder
and incendiarism. Those who do not
sos the tendency of this corrupt com
bination are ellber blind or prefer an
archy, to "Virtue, Liberty and Inde
peodence."
The railroad employee who sup
posed that a mob oould be managed as
easily as a locomotive, or a train of
cattle cars, have recently learnod the
rovers. Whore on railroad employee
engaged in the recent striko five free
booter chimed In lo ply thoir voca
tion. The result wo have soon, and the
lesson should not be forgotten soon.
Th Philadelphia Record says that

CniCAoo, July 20. 1 ho riotous feel
ing winch has been intensifying and
concentrating in this city tor tho past
few days culminated to-day, and the
result has boon a serrvs ot conflicts bo
twocn tho mob and the various forces
combined hero in which twolve per
sons wore killed and fifteen known to
have been wounded, though it is prob
able the number is much larger, as it
is known several wore carried on by
tboir friends among tho Holers. The
leaders of tho riots wore communists,
and a large part of tho body was made
up of this dangerous clement in tho
community, iioalcrs, tramps, dead
boats and stroot boys also largoly pre
dominated, tho ruilroad strikers and
other workingmon, who fool them
selves aggrieved by tho action of tboir
employers, being comparatively lew.
Tbo southwestern part of the oi l
has been in the bands ot tbo mob '
day, and the gravest apprehensions
have -prevailed everywhere. The
trouble began by eight o'clock this
morning at Wost Twelfth street, in
Turnor hall, where tbe communists
wore holding a mooting. Reports wore
telegraphed lo the ceutral station also
that mobs were gathering in tho vicin
ty of llulutend and nixtocntb streets.
A small squad ot officers at once re
paired to the iurnor ball and dispers
od the crowd, who passed down JIul
stead st root and helped to swoll tho
mob in tbut locality, which was mo
mentarily increasing to thousands.
The intelligence received at tho police
headquarters was ot so grave a char
acter that tho bridges were ordered to
be turned and tho veteran cavalry
undor the Cuban refugee, Colonel Ag
ramonto. tho socond regiment Illinois
Stato Guard, with a battery, wore or
dered to movo toward the scono of
action.
At 11 o'clock tbo roster ol General
Torronco's command was as follows :
First regiment, except one compi
ny, supporting two guns and awaiting
ordors at bcaunuurlors.
Second rogimont, supporting ono
gun ef Captain lioltons -battery, at
tiaistead and rwclllh streets.
P. O. Guard, 85 strong, at Llalstoad
and l wciiin streets.
Capt. Agramonto's company, 100

Iho vicinity, thoro were about 225 po

at convenient stations awaiting orders.
ivarly In the lorenoon the crowd bo
came vory largo at the llalstoad stroot

scattered all along llalstoad street and
on sixteenth stroot Irom tho Hal

and as thoro wore no police present
tbey spent tbo time in shouting and
throwing stonos at the round house
and the cars, but the mob was con
slantly increasing and bocoming moro
and more boisterous.
The news ol this mob and thoir dis

remained clotio by and pelted the blue

that theso hurt as badly as if thrown
by oi ler persons, and to put an end to
ii discharged a few shots in the air.
The boys look to thoir keels, and at a

to hold their pnsiti jo and Keep the
viaduct clear. After facing catdi other
lor a time the old heads in tho mob
mudo an advance forward, not in solid

At this limo there were within a
radius of two blocks ol tho viaduct
7,000 men and boys. They scorned
to bo closing up on tho polico from all

Tho rioters we're close enough now
for tho polico to do so.no effective
work, but with so small a squad noth-
ng could bo dono but stand thoir
ground and soaro thorn off until rein
forcements should arrive, so the men
fired a few rounds pretty closo to the
thickest part of the gathering. Tho
ctfect was vory decided, lor it caused
procipttalo retreat on tbe part ol tho
mob. The policemen from this timo
on kepi up a pretty constant firing.
lion tlio crowd would press very
closo, as it sometimes would, tho po
lico would maxe a rally irom the loot
of tho bridgo and boat a tow over the
head with thoir billies and fire shots
at any ono soon to fire or threaten to.
hothcr it was an intentional movo
on tlio part of tho mob is not known,
but by Iho desultory throwing of
stones and forcing the polico to defend
thomsclvcs with their revolvers their
ammunition was brought to a vory
low point. At nny rate tho longor
the polico fired tho moro bold and
maddenod became tho mob.
Tho police had but sixteen rounds
of shot and they could not stand their
ground much longer unless reinforce
ments camo. Seeing that tho mob
was again closing in on his men as if
they knew that they could not fire
many more times Sorgeanl liutlcr
gave orders to his men to tiro off rap
idly all thoy had left and at tbe same
time to move north across tha viaduct
toward tho station. Tho crowd seoing
tho polico retreat grew bold and bo
gan to attack them.
1 ho situation was critical, but just
as the men wore beginning to despair
Colonel Agrnmonto's cavalry was seen
charging to llulstead street and tho
crowd melted away before them.
Field & Lioter's and J. V. Furwoll A
Co's heavy wagons also camo up load
ed with detachments of polico Irom
tho Madison and Harrison street sta

position out of range on all sides of
tho men, who marched down tho street
to tho bridgo toward Twenty-second
street, whero a crowd from tho pack
ing houses at the stock yards was re
ported to bo concentrating at tbo roll

jusl in timo to sava Lieutenant Car-
berry and a lorco ol fourteen men
from boing overpowered.
A sharp light ensued, in winch three
moro of tho rioters wcro killod and a
number on each side woundod. Tho
Second regiment, with a brass field
pieco, camo up just as tho fight was
ovor and marched back with tho pa
trol. The cavalry spent the altornoon
in charging up and down llalstcad
and the nurrow cross streets and cap
turing tho rioters, over a hundred ol
whom wore sent to tho stations. Tho
crowd constantly gathered behind tho
forco as fast as tbey woro dispersed.
Rumors of fighting kept coming in,
and consequently, at half past twelve,
Iwo companies of tho regulars wore or
dored forward, and as tbo veteran In
dian fightors, all bronzod and ragged,
filed out of headquarters and marched
down La Sallo street toward Twelfth
street, a cheer went up from tho as
scmhlcd crowd that fairly shook the
building. Their soldiery appearance,
their total lack of excitement, tho
clock-like regularity of thoir step and
tho determination depicted on tho
countenances of the commanding ofll

In tho first skirmish throo of tho
mob wcro reported killod and a large
number woundod. The crowd was so
large that most of those injured were
carried away and could not be Identi
fied. PiTTsDUBntt, July 28. Gov. Hart
rutift, with bis staff, arrived bora at
seven o'clock this morning, bringing
with tbem United Stales regular
troops and militia to the number of
4,000, which now occupy the territory
cinbraood between tbo Union depot
and Thirty-third street. Gov. Hart-
rnnfl'i headqnartors are In a passengor
car run out on a sulo track at Thirty
third stroot. The Govornor and troops
experienced no littlo trouble in reach
ing Pittsburgh on account of tho dif
ficulty of procuring engineers to run
trains.
They all struck at Blairsvillo, and
would not board an engine, giving as
a reason that thoy might bo shot.
Captain Ryan, of the Stato Fenciblos,
was then detailed to hunt up orows,
which he procured only alter placing
revolvers at thoir heads and ordoring
them undor ponnlty of doath to got on
the locomotives. A guard was then
placed on each engine, and with five
soldiors on each lender tho trains
started for Ibis oily. Tho first arrived
consisted ot twenty-four cars and two
ongines, wilh a flat car in front of tho
enginea having aboard two pieces of
the Keystone lluttery andonogattung
gun. The second train consisted of
eighteen cars, three of which were
stock cars filled with tho horses of the
cavalry company, Tbo third train bad
sixteen cars, three of which were filled

fourth train, with five cars, was Gen
eral Uallagbor's Division.
' Aftor leaving Blairsville tlio trains
ran very slowly and not a light was
to bo soon on any of them. Knch
bridge was carefully examined before
a train crossed, and as thoy approach
ed deep cuts or curvos the train was
slackoned up and the troops wore de
ployed up the road aa skirmishors.
Ilcadlighu on the locomotives were put
out so that the strikers should not soo
tbs guns on the first car, and it was
oxtremoly difficult to soo any obstruc
tions placod on tho. track.
Attack! were made on tho trains at
various points, tho worst at Johnstown,
whore each soellon was greeted with
showers of stieks, stones and piocos of
metal. Tha missile wont through the
windows, striking the soldiors and in
flicting ugly wounds. The troop were
restrained Irom tiring at first, but finally
the pationceot Colonel Hamilton, who
commandod the regulars, was exhaust
ed, and he Jumped up and pulled the
beil.ropo. The ongincor, nndor guard,
responded to the signal. It was lucky
that the speed ol the train was stop.
I ted, for the fiends composing the mob
tad forced open a switch at what is
known as Cambria siding, and with
hellish Ingenuity bad so twisted tho
switch bar as to indicate that the track
wits all right They tben ran a car
laden wllhlirlcks on the siding.
The engineer of our train had not
discovered tho plot, but at tho signal
ol tho commander of tho troops had
slowed up hisonglne, but not sufficient
ly lo avert the acoidont entirely. The
engine, tender and five cars, throe bag
gugo und two passengor, left the truck

with tho brick car, wore jerked and

THE PRICK OF MOB LA W.
The pooplo ol Pittsburgh, will no
doubt, long remembor tbe terrible
scenos enacted in that city, on Sunday,
July 22. Tboso whoon that day, and on
Friday and Saturday previous laiJed to
discharge thoir duties as becomes good
mon will bo compelled, in addition to
having thoir machood boavily dis-
counted, to pay a heavy penalty in
cash lor thoir gross nogligeuce. The
editor of tho Now York World in al
luding to tbe question says
"Tbe pooplo of Pittsburgh who stood
by and allowed whole trains ol freight
cars to be broken open and plundered
oi propony Belonging to tneir leiiow
couulrymon all over the country may
expoct to be compelled lo make good
those losses ol private citizens as well
as those of tho railway corporation
whose buildings and whose stock thoy
sutterod lo bo destroyed. It is proba
bly a moduruto estimate to put the to
tal ol all those losses at 1,600,000.
Tbe assessed valuation of Pittsburgh
is 1172,000,000, and it contains a pop
ulation ot 140,000 persons, many of
whom, ol -coiii-bo, have been thrown
out of employment or subjected to
losses and inconvenionco by these
scandalous events. The cily, theruloro,
will havo to submit to a levy on its
valuation roll of (2.U1 in 1 100 of taxa
ble proporty, or rather more than one
f'ortioth ot the total amount This is
oquivaiont to a tine ol $32.15 laid upon
ovory man, womau and child in tbo
city lo compensate the injured parties
or to an annual impost ot 12.25 per
capita to meet tho interest at seven
per cent of bonds issuod to clear tbe
indebtedness. It must be obvious to
the moanost capacity that it would
have been much cheaper, even as a
simple queslion of immediate outlay,
to preserve order and enlorco tbo laws,
Mow that tho mischiot has been done,
however, it would be cheaper for
Pittsburgh to "oxecuto horsell" alonco,
raise the money and do justice without
a lawsuit than to incur tbe suspicion
of boing unwilling to make it safo for
American citizens to expose tbeir
property within her limits. And it
will be well for tho lax-pavers of othor
States to take warning in time and
save themselves thereby both oxponse
and sbamo.

burgh Post, in discussing the calamity
which bolell that city through imbecil
ity and mob rulo says : "The Sheriff of
the county seoms to have lost his head,
and what littlo brain there is in it,
early in tho troubles. Iho Mayor
was I ussy, Inefficient and at ono time
scomingly indifferent, on a plea that
his authority bad boon supemedod by
tho Stato and county officials. A few
skillod dotoclives under his ordor oould
have spottod the dozen drunken lead

a little of the hero in bim he could
have cbargcd'at tbe head of fifty po
