THE STHONG GOVERNMENT
tVE SEED.
T-:- ,5Sjenr
iue i oriaern ana tt oeiurn otaioB navo
been disgraced in the eyes of the
whole civilised world by the scanda-tg'-&vaijr
i) ridt fhj Insur
rection lave made throughout tho
country. Their first duty to them
selves is to admit this, that In spirit
of shame and humiliation they may
profitably take to heart the lessons of
theso doplorablo events. To this end
it becomes all sensible and right-minded
men to consider this miserable epi
sode in our history manfully and to
pluck out its true meaning. The ob
vious conclusion to which all hasty
gonoralizers rush is thut tho spread of
disorder and lawlessness would havo
been impossible if we bad possessed a
strong central government, with a
powerful standing army under its con
trol and authority, ready to regulate
the concerns of all the various com
munities which make up the nation.
It is undeniable that wheresoovor the
Federal troops have appeared they
have acted with admirable discipline
and discretion, and that, as at Reading,
mobs which had grown insolent in tho
presence of a Vacillating militia slunk
away in silonco before the determined
front of a handful of "regulars." This
was partly an effect of the discipline
which makes well-trained troops every
where efficient against overwhelming
odds, and partly an effect of the moral
authority which belongs to tho const)
tutod public force ot a great nation
Btrotching from Maine to Moxico. Lo
cal anarchy lost heart and quailed be
fore the sign and symbol of national
power. It is not surprising that in
their excitement good citizens should
hastily inter from this that we cannot
have too large a Federal army or too
much Federal interference in tho con
cerns ot the peoplo. It is curious to
find this latter idea developing itscll
for tho benefit of the North so soon
after it has been oxplodod by experi
ence at the South. But to adopt it
blindly would be to adopt the notion
of Mr. Jay Gould that tho wholo sys
tem ot the American Government is a
failure, for the fundamental idea of our
Union is that every Commonwealth
Bhall in ordinary times be able to en
force its own laws, and that tbo Fed
oral Government shall only bo called
upon to assume that task on occasions
ot great urgency. Tho very conccp
tion of a State involves the attributes
of power to guard the rights of per
sons and property. If such guardian-
ship be made primarily the business of
tbo nation, the Fcdoral Government
will bocome substantially an empire,
and the invaluablo olement of Homo
Rule will be gradually but inevitably
eliminated Irom the American system.
The experience of modern France, it
seems to us, ought to make people
think twice belore they como to the con
elusion that peace and the security of
property can be absolutely secured by
centralisation ol this sort. We are not
in a hurry, thoroforo, to see in our
present calamities any argument for
centralization, or to hoar in tho shouts
and cries of the mob which have dis
graced us the knell of Stato and mu
nicipal self-government. We intorprct
the lesson differently.
It scorns to us clear that the tem
porary success of this abominablo in
surrectionary movement has been due,
not to the weakness of tho General
Government, but to the weakness of
tho 8latos and municipalities. It is
oil that the Goneral Government
should bo strengthened, and thorecan
be no doubt that it will be. But tbo
immediate duty of good citizens is
at their own doors, for the imbecility
of our local governments is at the root
of the present disorder. It was pri
marily their duty to deal with the
rioters, and had they been goneral ly
in a condition for prompt and vigorous
action no gcnoral disturbance could
have occurred. It West Virginia had
been able to assert her authority at
tbo beginning ot the unlawful inter
ference with the running of trains it
probably would have gone no further.
Ilad tho Mayor of every municipality
which has boon threatened with dis
order thrown himself into the front
with all the organized lorco of tho lo
cality and called npon the citizens of
the place to support him, we do not
believe there is a single town in
the country in which rioters could
have maintained control for twenty
four hours. Ilad ths sheriffs of every
county disturbed by disorderly strikers
and the scoundrols who followed. in
their wake called upon thecommunity
to aid bim in enforcing tho law and
led the way in tho task, no railroad
trains need have been delayed no
property doslroyed. If our civiliza
tion is not a failure, the idle, the vicious,
thelawless in every town and city must
be in a small minority, and in a minor
ity oasily controlled by the well-to-do
intelligent and law-abiding elomonts,
if only the latter are led by mon and
not by demagogues or figure-heads. In
most ot the cases where riot was im
minent in old and well-governed mu
nicipalities it was suppressed ; where
it raged unchecked tho calamity may
in most cases be traced to the weak
ness of the local authorities. The
gathering of the mob in Baltimore
was due to a blunder in ringing the
tocsin. Ths wild saturnalia at Pitts
burgh was but the second act in
the drama of intimidation, the first
act of which took place some
months ago when a clamorous crowd
ol unemployed laborers overawed tho
frightened authorities of that town with
a demand for work. In contrast with
this lata) incapacity it is wholosomo to
hear of such action as that taken by
the Sheriff of Fbillipsburg, a little
town in New Jersey opposite Easton
in Pennsylvania. When the strikers
undertook there to stop a train he
came down with the neighbors and
swore that he would see the train
through his dominions at all hazards
and he did. A like spirit was display
ed by Mr. George Richards, the Mayor
of Dover in the same State, who ap
peared at the depot at the hour sot for
ths starting ot the first train and de
clared that the train should start and
th law be enforoed if it cost the life
of every man In ths town to enforce)
it. It is nuedlosB to say that in his
realm also railroad property was safe
and that the train did start It is per
haps too early yet to mako out a white
list ol tho communities which have
proved themselves capable of self gov
ernment, and a black list of those
which havo simply kept up municipal
machinery as a show and a moans ot
sue
noed not wait to declare that the im
modiuto lesson of tho hour enlorcos
Mvo. necessity. ?Tftr,Tiin4; .. uni
strengthening our local governments.
They may not all need, porhops, now
charter rights, unusual grants of pow
er or any great increaso of police force
or militia; but they do all require the
strongth and authority which can only
be given them by tho election of the
bost men to office and by a wise ad
ministration ot local affairs. In the
turmoil of Stato and national politics
ncighborhoodsjhavo boon too much neg:
looted, and it is tho good government
of neighborhoods after all, as every
man ought now to be able to soo, that
makes a well -governed nation. It is
time for the people to apply Poor
Richard's maxim in politics ; time to
take care of the pennies by way of in
suring tho pounds ; tiuio to see that it
concerns tax-pnyors quite as much to
elect honest and courageous men to
the offices of Mayor and Sheriff as to
the offices ot Governor and President.
Fortunately the South, which is des
tined to tuko a controlling position in
the politics of tho immediate future,
has learned this losson as thoroughly
as tho North and West must now be
gin to lonrn it. For exceptional cases
liko this with which we are now deal
ing and lor the purpose of a vigorous
foreign policy wo need and we shall
havo a strong Federal Government.
But the tact that the British Empire,
which contains 8,811,000 square miles
and a heterogeneous population ol
210,700,000 souls, is easily kept in
order with the help of a standing army
of about 1.10,000 men, shows us where
the real Btrength of government at
once great and Irco must lie Such a
result is mado possiblo only by Kng
land's concession of local sulf govern
ment to the leading members ot her
colossal body-politic. N. 7. WorM.
PROFESSIONAL RIOTERS.
One remarkable social phenomenon
brought to notice during tho present
crisis is tho professional rioter. Just as
there are politicians who know how to
"capture meotings" orconvcntions.nnd
run thom off in false directions, there
are professional rioters who know how
to capture mobs and carry thvm swift
ly away in tho direction of plunder.
It was noticed at Pittsburgh, at Read
ing, at Buffalo, Chicago and at Albany,
that certain strangers not connected
with tho railroads suddenly appeared
as the leaders, inciting the crowd to
violence and destruction of property,
What began as a striko soon became
committed to violence by some lawless
act, and the frenzy of the mob was
soon wrought up to a whito heat "So
cialists" sorao pooplo cull those men ;
"communists" thoy are called by oth
ers: but they ought not to be dignified
by any such title. They sre professional
rioters, and should bo dealt with vig
orously by law. Sovoral of thom have
been captured at Albany, Reading and
Chicago, and some light will bo thrown
upon their methods of procedure In
Chicago there was no striko, but tho
publio fooling and tho public panic in
vited a riot Accordingly those for
eign professionals seized the occasion.
Excited crowds on tho street wore
"captured," and marched around clos
ing up shops, threatening tho water
and gas supplios, apparently in "pure
cussednoss." Tbo police attempted to
stop it, and wore resisted, and so thoy
fought all day ; the mob fighting lor
thoy did not know what Tho soldiers
killed enough to leave a record of the
sort of men thoy wore mostly for
eigners, Germans and Bohemians of
the lowest class, professional rioters.
In San Francisco this stylo of porson
iBcallcd a hoodlum. A hoodlum is ready
lor any Bort of a row. Ho accordingly
seized the prcsont auspicious moment
and sought to raiso a riot for butcher
ing the Chinese. Tbo San Franciscans
raised citizen "committees of safety"
and soon put the hoodlums down. The
hoodlum, tho tramp and the profession
al rioter aro tho most recent outgrow ths
of modern civilization. The profession
al rioter is the leader ot those lower
classes : bo is the tramp with brains,
audacity aod enorgy ; and his manners
and customs should bo studied by tho
police, and all of tho species catalogued
and photographed for ready reieronce

The law on the subject of strikes is

in all the legitimate pursuits of life,
according to bis own judgmont, and
thoro can be no conviction, for con
spiracy, it laborers shall associuto
thomsolves for tho purpose of pro
moting tho interest of labor, but such
associations must aim only at lawful
purposes, or the protection of thestat
uto is expressly refused them. And
tho same law that protects laborers in
tho right to striko, cither individually
or Jcolloetivoly, unqualifiedly protocta
the right ot every individual laborer
to work whon, whoro, for whom and
on what terms he or she shall doom
satisfactory, and they who binder or
attempt to binder pontons from doing
so, are guilty of crime lor which the
laws provido severe and just punish
mcnt. Thoro can be no violence more
inexcusablo than for mon who refuse
to work thomsolves, to prevent others
Irom woiking who desire to earn a
living in their own way, and all who
attempt it are guilty of both moral
and legal crimo. It was this feature ol
tho lato strike that inado it utterly in
defensible; that led to the destruction
of millions of proporty, and that gave
tho country soveral hundred of killed
and wounded as tho cost of lawless
ness.
A STRONG GOVERNMENT.
It is very true that regular troops
are more reliable, if not at first moro
effective, In suppressing local outbreaks
than tho militia ; but that is no reason
why they should supplant the lattor.
As ours is a government of tho peoplo,
by the people, and for the people, it
most fit that thopoople, thatls, the is
Govornment,-ehould boalwaysinacon
dition to protect thomsolvos. The hur
ried appeals now made for a hearing
of the opposito doctrine, and the un
republican ono, are lortunatoly mad
at a lime when they cannot be either
illustrated or sustained by the facts.
At the time of the recent outbreak,
the Federal Government could not
havo been in a condition to suppress it
alone if it had an srmy at its com
mand of twice th ordinary number
Nothing but local militaiy sorvlco, di
rccted by local authority, could have
ooped with a trouble that appeared to
be breaking out in every quarter. And,
moreover, th sequel shows that it waa
altogothor an affair tor local handling,
th presumption always being that
the Federal authority was behind. It
was on th distinct ground that the
Federal power was only aiding and
sustaining the Stat Governments that
Gen. Hancock settled the dispute rais
ed by Col. French, in Maryland, by
ordering him to turn over bis troops
to the officer next in command. Gen.
Hancock knew that tba authority of
the State had not been superseded by
that of the Federal Government, but
that th latter was present only to
aid and countenance th former in its
own legitimate wo'k.
the country tb Now Yorlc 'Jimet fcj
set argument is made for the suprem
acy oi Federal authority in suppress
ing doraealio disorder. While it ad
mits that time will be needed to correct
by legislation the abuse inseperable
Irom the Influence of corporations over
the Legislatures of States, it Insists
that there shall be "no delay in tho
adoption of measures required to im
part to the Federal Government suffic
ient physical lorco lor the maintenance
of domestic order in any conceivable
cmorgency. Only a strong govern
ment can grapple promptly with the
varied forms of danger that aro now
strewn thickly over one-third of tho
Union." It was Jefferson's favorito
doctrine that a republican government
is strongest when it reposes on the di
rect support ot tho people themsolvcs.
Tha opposite doctrine is tho on de
rived from the Old World, that gov
ernment is an organized power distinct
from and asido from the pooplo. Hap
pily it has never yet gained a footing
on American soil, though persistently
advocatod sine the Constitution be
came subjoct to two interpretations.
After tho recent war it waa believed
by many that a strong central gov
ernment, whose strength should con
sist in its absorption of the powers of
the States, would be necessary to pre
serve, protect and defend the Union
which had been put in such jeopardy ;
but twelve years of experimenting in
that line on the Southern States were
an excellent schooling and clarification
of the public mind on the subject, and
now this recent widespread troublo
springs up to impreu the sound and
safe doctrino of local self-government
in an entirely new way.
It teaches us as distinctly as any
thing can that it is of tho first necessi
ty to perfect and strengthen our ma
chinery of self-protection in every
town, city and county; that we keep
tho weapons of defence in our own
hands, that can employ with the most
discretion and effect ; that it is local
forces, and not Foderal, that are needed
to preserve the pence and suppress dis
order; and that no possible danger that
can befall us from holding this view is
equal to what may at any time threat
en Irom a powor which is boyond our
instant control. More than all, the
senseof responsibility that gives woight
and worth to citizenship is fully re
tained by the doctrine of local self-protection.
Take that sway, and teach
the people to lean on a powor outsido
of themselves for support and one of
the most vital elements of citizenship
gone. The Timet rests its reasons
on the theory that connecting linos of
railway which traverse several States
practically give the railroad system a
National character, to be protected by
Federal force. It might with equal
reason push on to tho conclusion that
the General Government has aright to
selzo these roads as soon as they be
come "National" and operate them in
it own interest We hold that they
who advocate astronggoTornment.that
shall rest on military force, have yet the
alphabot of genuine republicanism to
learn ; thoy are by instinct distrustful
of the people and eager to see them
governed, if not indeed to govern
tbera thomsolvos. No event in our day
has more conclusively demonstrated
the nocessity of local self-government,
with the military clemont included,
than these riots which have been sup
pressed by local authority. Boston

A CHICAGO WIFE.
Not lone airo a married woman on
Pino street, Chicago, asked bor bus
band for a new summer bat and suit,
so that sho could mako that hateful
creature in tho next block see that
thoro wore other people bosidoa her
ladysbiptbatcoulddrossdecontiy. uw
ine to the stringency of the local money
market he declined to fall in with her
overtures. She did not press the sub
joct but afowdaysaflerwardsshoeame
to his side, and leaning hor noau soitiy
on his shoulder, said : "Darling, if you
were to he hit on tbe bead with a bam
mer, or somothig of tho kind, so that
it wouldn't kill you, but hurt you a
good deal and put you outot your mind,
wouldn t they make meyourguaruian
and administrator?"
"Verv nrobablv thov would, pussy."
he replied, fondling ber eoldon curls,
"but what a tunny question for you to
ask." "And then," sue continued, ap
parently not having board tho latter
part ol his sontenco, "and then 1 cauld
do all that I liked wilb things, and my
name would bo the same as yours at
the bank, and so on?" "Certainly,
pet," he responded, and she, giving him
an affectionate embrace, hurried away.
The thing somewhat perplexed him,
but he dismissed it Irom bis memory
until vory recently, whon he met
hardware dealer of hi acquaintance.
who said : "Tell your wif'o 1 sent her
tho biggost hammer w had, Dili wnat
in thunder did sb want so lariro a ham
mer tor?" Then a cold sweat broke
out all ovor that young man, and has
tening borne ha told his wild that he
had just collected a bad debt, and bore
were 1130 for her to get that suit and
hat with. And she kissed him and
she would not take it all, aince times
wore so hard, and thoy must mako
every cent go a tar as thoy could ; but
he Insisted that shs should, ana sho
vielded like a dutiful wife, and when
he had gone out she took tho hammor
from behind the wasbstana, sent n oscx
to th hardware store, and told thoro
she wouldn't noed it, to send hor its
worth in solf-sealing preserve jars.
