that tbo National Guards of this State,

demagogues instead of statesmen for
rulers, wo havo tho harvest. fcaifprt us,
the fruits boing murder, riot, and the
incendiary's torch.
Again : Tho opportunity has de
veloped ono other alarming fact. Tho
rioters bad scored of sympathizers in
every community, and they aro mon,
too, who heretofore have passed for
good citizens. Our opinion is, that
the individual who condones or do
fends tbo conduct of a riotous mob Is
not a good citizen, and therefore a dan
gerous member of society. The man
who does this may not possoss the
pluck to steal a horse, or carry a torch,
but be might be induced to open the
stablo door and assist some fellow
more rosoluto than himself to mount
tbo horse and ride it away.
The present oonfiict botween capita'
and labor is causeless and wrong. It
is like a rjuarrol between husband and
wifo, not very lovely nor edifying to
tho children, and tends to ruin, rather
than to render any ono happy. It
jeopardizes liberty, life and proporty,
and drives capital, trado and commerce
to otbor climoB, whero lifo, property
and capital is protected, and all dwell
and prosper in harmony.
The working man who assists in
creating a mob, acts like the man in
ino ruble, ne was tho ownor of a
goose which laid him a good sized
golden egg every day. Finally, to add
more suddenly to his wealth and dreams
of happiness, ho concluded to kill the
goose and get all tho eggs at onco.
But whon ho cut the faithful goose
open, not a single egg was to be found
Had tbo ownor of that goose lived at
this day what a capital railroad striker
ho would havo made.
It is remarkable that there should
prove to be bo many mon among na
who possess good common sense, and
yet they lack proper spirit to not "lot
well enough alone." As a class, tbo
railroad employes bad less cause to
strike than any other class of laborers.
Their positions aro for life, and in the
lino of promotion at that, if they dis
play progress and deport themselves
like gontlomen, while the common
laborer is pushed from "pillar to post"
without employment much of the time
and mostly at unfixed wages. Hence,
wo look upon the prevailing discord
as tho most causeless and dangerous
movemant to both labor and capital
ever inaugurated in this country. For
enduring evils the rebellion was com
paratively an insignificant affair. We
are glad to know that for the present
matters are quiet, but the quarrol be
tween tho railroads and their employee
is not settled yet
at n ork. Since wo wrote our

Spoiled. The breaking out of the
railroad riots, at Martinsbnrg, West
Virginia, and Baltimore, Maryland,
was a perfect bonanza for the editors
of tbo Philadelphia Bulletin, Johnstown
Tribune, and such othor journals that
are controlled by editorial bigots and
skunks. Tboir articles wore headed
in largo typo, "Another Rebellion,"
"Treason Uncovered," "Tho Union in
Danger" "The Rebel Elomonts lo tho

do you call it in such loyal cities as
Pittsburg, Reading, Chisago, etc, up
North? "The rebol element," too!
How quick some "young chickens

Wo know but very liltlo about mili

Courts' Martial and send for those gal
lant (?) members of tho NATIONAL
GUARDS of Pennsvkw'a wb-i deliv
ered their guns and ammunition over
to the mob, and have them explain
why thoy performed this criminal act.
We aro rather glad that the Radical
word Rational, instead of tstate, as tho
Democrats insisted that tbo soldiers of
the Commonwealth should bo bamcd,
ia tbo title under which so many
"wbito feathers" wore displayed, The
tax-payors of this Stato have paid out
too much cash for so little protection.
We aro opposed to paying cowards In
Hie shapo of holiday soldiers, and now
ask some of those shysters wbo in tinio
of peace sailed undor a big namo, to
rise and explain why their valor oozed
out at their fingers' ends whon they
camo in sighl of the mob. Tho editor
of the Philadelphia rimed, in alluding
to this stibjoet, graatM it in this way:
"Some military reputations havo been
battered all to pieces during tho brief
period of the existing war. General
French fell in tho midst of a parlor car
loaded with whisky bottles and bcor
kegs, In West Virginia; Tearson wont
down at PittBburg, just aa soon as ho
saw the mob was in carnost, and now
there is a vory aevcro stain upon tho
character for courage of Major Huffing
ton, the commandant at tho Arsenal
in Pittsburg. Whon on Sunday morn
ing, as has been amply reported in tho
news dispatches, the Philadelphia sol
diers, driven by an inluriatcd mob
many times their number, applied for
admission to tho Arsonal, tho com
mandant refused it. Tho act has boen
denounced as ono of inhumanity and of
cowardice by all tbo leading newspa
pers of tbo country, and Bufllngton
bus caused something to bo printed in
his defense Ho intimates that be bad
no authority to admit the citizen-soldiers
to a placo of Bafety, oven though
their lives woro in jeopardy, as if the
diBciplino of the Foderul army could
bo made lo excuse such inhumanity.
Bufllngton further thinks that if the
soldiers bad boen admitted tho mob
would have captured the place and
made use of the arms and ammunition
stored tnero; besides, tho magazine
might have been blown np, in which
ovent Bufllngton would probably bavo
been lost and tho world would never
have known as it now knows that
such a man ever lived. Uoneral Brin
ton, however, who seems to be a rathor
sturdy sort of soldier, docs not propose
to let Bufllngton escapo on such flimsy
pretexts, He says the place could have
boen successfully dofondod against a
mob twice as largo, and baa forwarded
to the Socretary of War a lull Btate
mcnt ot the oaso, presented formal
complaint against tho commandant
and demands a searching Investigation
of the matter. This it cortainly ought
to have, and if there is any chance for
Bufllngton to got out let him have it.
At present tho publio condemns him
on bis own statement."
THE DISCONSOLATE.
Tbo recent wide-spread spirit for
rioting and lawlessness has shaken the
faith of many of our people in our
form of government. Thoy call for "i
stronger govern rncnt." N ow, if a strong
government is a euro for an upidemio
such as we have just gone through,
why is it that similar outbreaks havo
occurred in every country'on tho lilobo,
at one time or other. Bad government
or mis-government is tbo prime causo,
and it mokos no difference whether
tho form of the government is ft Re
public, Monarchy or a Despotism.
Man inherit the seed of riot, and it
grows np with him and ho cannot
ward it of? any more than he can stay
tho cholera, yellow fevor or otbor
malady. We must just do tbo best wo
can. Should our community bo overrun
by a mob it will bo ourjmiafortune ; if
we escape we will be lucky. Tbe edi

FOOLS OR KKA YES, WHICH t
The Uuyes party held a Slute Con
vention ut Clevelund, Ohio, ono day!
lust week, ni id put quilo a number of
new plnnks in its plutliinn as remedies
for tho numerous wrongs with which
the country is afflicted, Tluio politi
cal doctors are either fools or knaves,
or both, or they suppose thut their
constituencies aro made 111) of thut
' -itmr fil?
mcnts lor seventeen years, und forcing
public and private bunkriiptcy on tho
people, tho leaders jl this sumo party
propose at this lute day certain rcmo
dies by which all tbu ills thut ulllict
us, morally, cominortinlly, and in a po-
liticial sense, shall be enrol. From tho
Htand-point ul which wo look ut the
patient and tbe doctors wo pronounce
the hitter quacks and the lormer near
ly uoeiorca to tlcuth. Tho remedies
proposed aro worse than tbo disease,
and if tho people are foolish enough to
tuke another done of this lust Radical
mixture, gotten up by Dr. Hnyoa and
his stool-pigeons, tho end of the Re
public is at hand. A cotemporury in
alluding to tlis subject, says :
"Mr. Huyes and bis friends thought
it necessary to throw a dainty bail to
'labor.' The result is tbo adoption of
a 'luuor plank wbicii aims at a radical
cbungo in the nature of our constitu
tion. It proposes in order to catch
the striker vote 'that Congress shall
ontablisb a national bureau of industry,'
That may mean anything or nothing.
Really it means nothing; but what it
intends to convey to the laborers out
of work is that Congress shall furnish
them work in the national bureau of
industry at 'fuir prices,' do., Ac This
is impracticable, of course; but atill
tbo plank Bets forth a doctrine in the
last degree dangerous. It admit the
fatal principle that government is
bound to provide for the unemployed,
and that a premium is to bo put on
thriltlessness and idleness among tho
laboring classes. Nothing is more dan
gerous to Republican institutions than
this doctrine, however covered up with
smooth, fuir sounding phrases. It
promises next 'that Congress exort its
authority over all national highways
of trade by proscribing end onloroing
Buoh reasonable regulations as will
tend to promote tho euloty ot travel,
secure fair returns for capital invested
and fair wages to employes, prevent
ing mismanagement, improper discrim
ination and tho aggrandizement of of
ficials at tho expense of stockholders
and shippers and employes.' Let these
propositions be scrutinized. What
'authority' has Congress over railroads,
which aro private property, exioling
undor Stuto franchises? By what con
stitutional provision can Congress 'pro
scribe regulations to secure fuir returns
for capital invested' and fair wagosfor
employee, Ac, Ac.'? What, in a legal
sense, aro 'national highways' ? There
can be no sufficient answer to these
questions. Tho lubor plank is a fraud
a thing to bo expected under tho
circumstances, considering tho influ
ences that controlled tho Convention.
Again tho labor plunk demands 'that
provision bo made lor statutory arbi
trations between employers and em
ployes to adjust controversies, recon
cile interests and establish justice and
equity botweon them.' Statutory ar
bitration, indeed I Have wo not courts
and laws? What is thoro to arbitrate?
A railway says it wishes to biro labor
at hfly oonts a day if you nleaso. A
number ot laborers aro willing to work
at that rato. A number of others say
that thoy shall not work for less than
a dollar. What ia there to arbitrate ?
And how is the statutory arbitration
to 'adjust controversies, roconcilo in
tcresto and establish justice and equi
ty between tlicin' ? The thing is bosh,
and to bo bosb. Gurfiold, wbo presid
ed in tun convention, knew perl octly
well that the labor plank was all a de
lusion and a snare. It is bosh, but
dangerous boab. It can accomplish
nothing practical ; it was not intended
that it should ; but it feeds the bopos
ot the idle luboring class that thoy are
to be fostered in their idleness, and it
lends to build up a prolclraiat which
shall be troublesome horoallor. In
marked contrast with this labor plunk
of tbe Republican Convention is t lift I
01 tue uomocraiic uonvontlon ol llio
same Stale made a few days previous
ly, l bat is simple, direct and truo.
Ills M follows: 'The destruction of
the industry of tbo country and pau-
fionzing ol labor aro tho inevitable
ruits of vicious laws enacted by the
Republican party,' That is all. It
pronosm no quack remedies, nor un
constitutional or impossible measures.
It plaoes tho blame for tho present
condilion of affairs exactly whore it
belongs, and looks for improvement
only in a return to tho old and sul'o
paths. Tbe Republican party, which
caused the evils, now proposes re mo
llies worso than tho disease. Mr.
Hayes and Stanley Matthews and Gar
field have no reason to bo proud ol
their Convention."

A DETAILED ACCOUNT or Till ORBAT
1IATT1.E,
Tho Daily News' correspondent, lei-
egrapuing irom Duigarem, ia miles
east of Plevna, gives a detailed account
ol the lighting on Monday. Tbo Turk
ish forces were estimated at 60,000.
They occupied a series of positions nat
urally strong and artificially fortified
in every availublo ajiot, lorming a
horse shoe in front of Plevna, with
botb flunks resting on tho river Vid.
Tho ltussian force consisted of the
Ninth Army Corps under Gen. Krude-
uer, the thirtieth Division and Thir
tieth Brigade of tho Second Division
under l'niico Shackesky, with three
brigades of cavalry and 100 guns. It
waa arranged thut Con. Krudener
should attack tho Turkish centre at
(jrivita and tho northern flank of the
entrenchment position over Jtuhova,
while Shackesky attacked Hadizoo,
unci uuu. bkouoicii, jr., held in check

Turkish position, consisting of a re

and ultimately carriod, with a terrible

Itussians, moreover, were unable to

4 o'clock a roservo brigade was brought
up, and nn attack made on tbe
positions immediately covering Plev

Kdward Clark, architect of the Capi

ceiving two salaries, one as architect

Clark has only Imitated the other

Not So. Tbe Baltimore Qasette,
protests in this way : "We raise onr

'socialists.' It dignifies thorn too much.
We shall soon hear of horse tbiovea

Mr. Lafayelto S. (i rover was elect

their bribed witnosscs testified to too

HOME HULK.
Tho consolidatlonists are taking ad
vantage ol the present disturbances to
urge (he necessity of a "stronger Fed
eral Government." This is all wrong.
It Is precisely tho opposite thing thut
is nueded. Hud U est Virginia been
possessed of an old-lashionod home mil
itary force, such as tho fathers believ
ed in, lha insurrection would have
been quelled at once, and the fronzy of
Federal powor for liroleelmg ovory
timo there is a disturbance of tho peace
has become a .National vico, disgrace
ful to Kreemon. It is high time to
adojit prompt romodies for curing it.
No, it is not Federal but local forces
which aro needed. Tho uoonlo must
bo taught to protect themselves, not to
rely on the General Grvornment. To
this end our young men must be train
od In right principles, and to tho uso of
arms. If the ay-atom of a volunteer
militia is not sulllcietit, tho old ono of
enrol mon t of all able-bodied mon ot suit
able age should be restored. Evory
State and community needs an organ
ized roliablo force of somo kind to pro
tect itself. It is moro necessary now
than ever. If tbe General Government
had all the troops tho strongest con so
lidationists might demand, tliov would
be powerless in a timo like the present.
10 protect an our lines ol railroad
would be impossible. Before tbey conld
reach the disturbed districts the mis
chief would be done, and the spirit of
violenco would diffuse itself through
out the country as we have seen to bo
tbe caso.
We must go back to first principles
on this subject. Hell protection is the
primal law, and tbore can bo no safety
to individuals or communities when it
is ignored. A Federal army is for Fed
eral purpose. When Status and com
munities are properly provided with a
local forco tbore will bo no necessity
for invoking Federal aid. and there
should be none. This was the doctrine
of tho fathers. It is the true doctrine
now. Zfojfon Pott.
Uabtrankt's Ride." When the
