The Plillad'a Comtiie'rclat Reporter
recommends Robert 15. Pattlson, of that
cltj, son of tho late Rev. R. II. Pattl
80D, D. D., presiding elder of the liar
rlsburg district of the M. E. church, as
a suitable Candida to for Auditor Gene
ral on the Democratlo ticket.
The Bedford Gazette aaya : " Mr.
Schell's hbmo district composed of lied,
ford, Somerset, Fulton, Franklin, Cam
bria, Blair and Huntingdon counties
stand In a compact column for his nom
ination. The 'Glhralter of Democracy'
old "Berks, and sterling Lancaster are
"frdltll for him, while all along the entire
line the cheering word of success Is
'heard. Wo (Gazette) say to the con
vention, give us Wra. P. Schell for AU
'dltor Qeneral, and his election is as
shred. "
The following extiact from tho
'dhlcago.Times Indicates that the mtlt
tlrrroan of the Illinois variety is not
grea'tly admired in his own locality :
"A mllittttnan Is one entrusted with a
gun and to' rue cartridges, who goes
about hunting for a rioter to whom they
ttiay be handed. Tho object In life of
the militiaman is to point a pic nlc and
adorn a tea-party. IIo Is lily-livered
and lacks call, but he dances divinely.
Ills clothes are too large .for his cour
age. IIo Ig a pretty man in the piping
times of peace, but when the blast of
war blows In his ears It Isn't safe to
trust him with a gun. In short, a mi
litiaman Isn't a soldier." The recent
strike has demonstrated the fact that
the militiaman of Pennsylvania Is of
about equal calibre with his brother of
Illinois.
The sea serpent has been seen as
usual off Nahant, Mass. It was ah
estimable citizen of Nantasket that saw
the monster this time, as after dinner,
on a Sunday afternoon ho watched tho
waves from' the piazza Of a public

what suspicious, but wo give Mr. Gord
ham's story from tho Herald as a con
tribution to this rather "fishy" subject:

Tho Striko and Its Results.
Two weeks ago mob violence threat
ened to get tho upper hand of law and
the lawful authorities throughout the
tfboleof the great belt of Middle States,
from tho Hudson, Delawaro and Chesa
peake to tho Missouri j to-day the mob
Is everywhere subdued. Tho railroad
strike is rot ended, but the mob Is con
quered. This was an Inevitahlo result
from the beginning, whether the' vlo
leuce of the idoTj ran) out Its mad course
In a few hours, days or weeks. It must
always bo the result In civilized coun
tries. And now, after two weeks of
disorder, coufusion, destruction arid
alarm lu scores of communities, let us
consider what has been gained or lost to
tire cause of working men to tho cause
ot labor. Of gain there has been no
thing, and can bo nothing by such law
less proceedings, while on the contrary
the loss has been incalculable. The loss
comes upon every omr, but heaviest of
all upon the working men and laborers
of thu country.
Says the Phlladelphla"Ltdger : The
violence of the last two weeks has bet
back the revival ot Industrial activity
for many months perhaps, for years.
The most damaging blows struck by tho
strlkers'were those which attempted to
strike down the common rlRlits of men
to the control of thelrown labor , which
Dllempted to strike down the common
rights of men to the use of their own
properly : and which attempted to sub
vert the laws, without which there can
be no safety In society. These have ex
cited apprehensions and Impaired conll
dence to a den-ire that mutt In the very
nature of things take many a day to al
lay and restore. We have had blood'
shed, and the sacrifice of perhaps a linn
dred livts, some uf ttiein worthless, some
ot mem valuable ; but wiieiner worth
less or valuable, such results, while de
plorable, are not Irreparable. We havo
had great destruction of property, In
volviug enormous losses to people not
able to bear them ; but fills' also j not
beyond reparation. We have had vaat
interruption to trado and to the regular
course of industry, with wide-spreading
ramifications ot damage, delay aud loos,
wliloli must be added to the tuanv mil
lions ot damage by direct distrustlon ;
but this likewise Is reparable In souie
sense by lapso of time. Hut the damage
to eoclcty lu which all the interests ot
all the people are Interwoven the im
pairment ol coulidence In salcty for per-
ton and home, and security for saved
fAMitlK-a nml All , .titurl ittiu ft.nra
tbit must hold reoDle back from under
taking new Industrial enterprises, and
opening up new fields for tho employ
ment ot labor the misgivings excited
In the efficacy of law and In tho pro
tectee power of the free Institutions of
tho United States this damage Is Incal
culable, mid unless tho firm front pre
sented by our City, State and National
authorities, backed by the good nud truo
men of tho country, shall he as firmly
maintained from this time forth, it
must prove to be as irreparable as it Is
Incalculable.
Such Is tho result of tho two weeks bf
vlolcnco, destruction, alarm and blood
Bhed, through which tho country has
Just passed, and Into which It was
thronn by tho striko of the railway
men. The strike upon its face was a
contest for wages ; in tho train of de
structive inlluences it set in motion it
wns a war upon all labor. No one dis
putes tho right of any man, on a rail
way or anywhere eliie, to say he will
not work unless ho gets the wages ho
thinks liU services entitle him to and
which he demantK This Is the Indis
putable right of all mdn ; but thero that
right ends. They have no right to say
other men shall not work for nuy wa
ges the latter choose to a'gree to. They
have no right 'to prevent or to attempt
to prevent other men from using their
tools, their horses and wagons, their
factories, their mills, their engines, their
locomotives, their trains 6f cars, their
hands, their brains, ot any other Imple
ment or Impllanco that belongs to them
or their trades. When the railway men
quit work to force an advance in their
wages they exercised an Indefeasible
right. '1 lie method by strike Is a had
one, however, on fallways especially,
bpcaus? it Inevftab'ly Involves n break
ing of agreements and contracts, and
damago to the rights of innocent third
parties who have nothing to do with the
dispute. Still tho right to quit work, If
wages are not satisfactory, Is a natural
right and ciinuot bu gainsaid. That far
It is a contest of workmen In behalf of
their wages and the rights of labor.
nut wiien tlio railway strikers advanced
beyond that, and by violentdeinonstra
tlons, threats of shooting and other
means of intimidation, prevented other
men from going to work, and stopped
thn trains, blockading all traffic for
thousands of miles, their acts were no
longer a contest for the rlchts of tho
working men, but a war against all
working men and against tile rights ot
all labor. They blocked at once .the
great wheels of Industry. Materials
and tools for thousauds of workshops
were embargoed along the franks wool
on tho way to tho looms ; cotton yarn
on the way to tho spindles; Iron and
lumber tdtho workshops j leather going
to the shoemakers ; grain to the Hour
!ng mill ; oil to tho hands In the refine
ries ; manufactured articles on tho way
to market ; meats aud provisions to
millions of consumers ; malls contain
ing message's of life and death ; mono
on the way to employers, to bo distrib
uted In wages ; goods to bo shipped by
land and by sea ; coal from tho mines
an Its way to market. In nil these In
stances the workmen nnd laUoters who
would havo been otherwise employed
without interruption, were thrown into
enforced idleness,- because the railway
strikers, not content with the exercise
of their own Indisputable right to quit
work themselves, marched forward. In n
lawless attempt 10 stop others-; They
and their allies did Stop not less than a
hundred thousand who had nothing to
do with tho strike, aud no part in tho
dispute between them aud their employ
ers. This, it must be repeated, changed
the whole character of the Contest it
was no longer a strneglo for tho wages
of labor, but a war against the rights of
nil labor.
That war was inaugurated the mc
nieiit thn first railway train man at
Martlnshurg threatened another failsvay
man with death if ho took out a train,
and it becatijo an open, avowed, undis
guised war on all ,labor, when that
method of vindicating the wages of the
railway men was prtlered on all the
Hies by tho leaders of the strike, who
kept themselves In tho background.
From tlrat moment It was not only a
war1 ngalnst all other labor, hut a war
upon the safety of society. When the
combined railway strikers set the law
less example of Intimidation to other
, workmen of selzliifr. by forco and pre-
) venting the use ot depots, trains and
tracks of successful demrnCB to muni
cipal and Statu authorities of subver
sion of nil la w they let loose upon all
later aud upon all people tho worst
men, tho vilest passions, the most de
structive elements of society. Scound
rels of alt sorts, swindlers, demagogues,
thieves, burglars, assassins, Jail birds
saw their chance in the temporary tri
umph of lawlessness over a law estao
llshed by tho railway strikers, who re
sorted to vlolcnco in' the stoppage of
trains and in taking forcible possession
of all railway property. The degraded
villains who never work, whose lives
aro spent in depredating on' those who
do work, instantly rushed In", made
themselves the champions of labor, and
eariiedon the tenible business of vio
lence by stopping workshops, mills and
factories, aim ty uuriiing, loouing, de
stroying nud slaughter ot the lawful
authorities. Wherever they appeared
they left blood, and devastation, aud
terror in their tracks.
All this came about because a contest
bv the railway men for the wages of la
bur was perverted by the strikers Into
the setting of an example of war against
all labor. Surely the mass of the mem
bership of the Train Men's Union could
never have couteinplatod sucli proceed
Inns with sucli terrible results when
they bou.'id themselves hand and foot to
that orgaultaiiun. .let sucu proceeu
Incs and such remits are sure to follow
whenever ineu surrender" their Individ
ual liberty their natural and Indefeas
ible riuht to refuse to do wrong, and
undertake to follow blindly the orders
of a secret society, whether those orders
aio lawful or unlawful, or right or
wtooir. No men but I hose inside the
Train Men's Union lau of c6urse have
any knowledge of the nature of their'
becret pledges, or obligations, or oaths,
or whatever the bonds may 'be -but all
men outside of that orgaulzatldn now
know that those secret pledges Involve
the violation of low, the seuure ot pro.
I Hefty at
- 1 light, It order come from the leaders to
commit thoso acts. These things havo
been done simultaneously by concerted
action by the railway strikers In at least
twolve States. The fact is beyond dis
pute. Can It bo posslblo that such wide
spread violation of law nnd of right, and
such resulting damage, terror nnd de
struction, such letting looso ot all the
villains and malefactors of tho country,
could havo been In contemplation by
tho masses of tho riiembeFshlp of tho
Train Men's Union, when they sutren
dered their Individual liberty tn blind
obedlenco to lawless leaders? They are
forced to look ntthe fearful result now,
nnd some of lliem will be fortuntte In
deed If they do not severely suiter from
their error. To most 6f them tho reme-1
dy is In their hands, find that Is to quit
so lawless an organization. In this
country no man can bind himself, with
out criminality to an allegiance above
tho law. Ldyalty to the law Is the par
amount obligation. No Society, Union,
Church, Order, or organization ot any
kind can lawfully held Its membership
to any obligation that requires violation
of the law and of the iomir.on rights of
society ; and.yet the lawlessness of tho
past two weeks shows that the leaders
of the Train Men's Union have tried to
hold, and, In many Instances, have held
tho members of that Union to Just such
lawless and ciimlnal obligations. They
had better look to this without delay.
