Election flay, November 2.
It nounds strnnce to hear the Philadelphia-Ledger
nrKiilnpr that In politics
the, end justifies tho means. It often
jlgps; but vp believe this Is the first
.lime .th'at our very conservative con
'tompornry has admitted so much.
The Sober Second Thought.
In nnother column are given a num
ber of extracts showing the trend of
opinion In the representative news
paper press concerning the deplorable
tragedy at Lattlmer. The collection
lias been made from our exchanges Im
partially and every shade of Judgment
Is accorded a hearing. It will bo noticed
that while certain journals here and
there Jump heartily to the conclusion
that law should not bo enforced In
lower Luzerne If In Its enforcement
blood must bo shed, the preponder
ance of opinion stands bravely for law
and order and Is not driven by sym
pathy for the fallen rioters Into offer
ing any encouragement to tho kind of
lawlessness which precipitated tho
stern penalty of death.
And this, after all, Is tho real nub of
the problem: Is lawlessness to be con
demned or upheld? Those who are so
ready to censure the sheriff and his
deputies forget that every word ot such
rebuke nets at this Inopportune time
as an Incentive to continued turbu
lence. The sheriff, we must assume,
tintll It Is otherwise proved, did his duty
ns he saw It. If he erred or If his sub
ordinates erred. It was not more than
otheis mlfiht have done under similar
circumstances, nnd the courts, In calm
ness and deliberation, will pass on this
point after the excitement of the mo
ment shall have subsided. Even though
we accept the hypothesis that their
course Involved a misconception of
duty, It does not do away with 'the
prior fact that If there had not been
on the part of the strikers themselves
a prolonged sacrifice of the rights of
the community and a persistent defi
ance of the laws of the commonwealth
there would not have been the occasion
for an error of Judgment on the part
of the officers of the law. Consequently
In any view tho strikers are primarily
to blame and the consequences which
nil now deplore were primarily of their
own manufacture.
And this brings us to another point
concerning which public opinion ap
pears somewhat inclined to get twisted
the law as to tho highways. "That
the public highways can be used for
almost any purpose Is," says the Phila
delphia Ledger In an editorial precisely
covering this point, "one of tho popu
lar misconceptions of the day. Tho
public have the right to travel over the
highways freely and without obstruc
tion or molestation at all times. A
tumultuous assembly which blocks tho
way and prevents Its free use by trav
ellers In pursuit of their lawful call
ings Is an unlawful assembly and
Bhould be dispersed by the strong arm.
It Is true that free assembly Is one of
the primary rights of citizens; but It
Is a right, like all other fundamental
rights, which must bo regulated by
law. The use of the public highways
by large, riotous bodies of men pass
ing from point to point to prevent
workmen by force from continuing
their lawful employments cannot be
permitted In a country which assumes
to protect Us citizens In earning their
livelihood. It Is not the legltlmnte
function of government to furnish In
dustrial opportunities to all, but It Is
Its fundamental function to see to It
that men may go to their dally toil,
engage In It and return from It at all
times without forcible molestation or
hindrance."
In a situation such as has been forced
upon the public attention by tho oc
currences at Lattlmer it is becoming
to good citizens to weigh the facts care
' fully before giving voice to their opin
ions, and tq, remember that supreme
above the right of any striker in this
land is the right of tho community to
peace, law enforcement and respect for
'public order. There can be no worse
enemy of the American people than ho
who would seize upon a time of ex
citement to fan tho fires of disorder
nnd give momentum to the forces
which make for social destruction,
Richard Croker will not run for may
or of Oreatcr New Yoik, very likely for
the reason that Greater New York has
no use for Richard Cr6ker.
Nearlng a Crisis.
The arrival at San Sebastian of Min
ister Woodford and his reception by tho
queen of Spuln bring us near to im
patiently awaited developments in the
Cuban problem. A variety of guesses
has been made as to tho purport of tho
instructions which General Woodford
hears, but beyond the fact that those
Instructions are phrased In conciliatory
language nothing authentic in the line
information on tho subject has yet
apouired In orlnt.
Tho Washington Post of yesterday
presents what purports to bo a digest
of the note bnno by General Woodford
to the foreign minister of Spain, and
while its accuracy is not officially cer
tified many indications point to Jts
eubstantul correctness. According to
the Post the chief significance of thin
document Is that tho United
States asks to he considered a.
party to tho settlement of the
Cuban question Tho reasons why
the United States tnkes this step,
which ordinarily might be considered
Interference on tho part of one, nntlon
with tho doniestlo affairs of another,
nro set forth at considerable length nnd
also quite forcibly. Tho long continu
ance of war In Cuba, the destruction
of property and of commerce, the ninn
ntr In which the Interests of the United
States have suffered, tho large number
of American citizens Involved In one
way or nnother, tho constant anxiety
and expense caused the United States
government In malntnfnlng Its attitude
as a. friendly power, and, above alb the
distress Indicted upon hundreds of
thousands of peaceful people, are nil
dwelt upon.
Mention, says the Post, Is nlso made
of tho large number of claims preferred
by American citizens against th3 gov
ernment ot Spain without any Immedi
ate prospect of settlement. President
Cleveland's warning In his last annual
message that unless better condition
wore soon to come In Soaln It woula
be necessary for the United States to
Interfere In behalf of commerce nnd
humanity Is cited. Tho note then points
out that Instead of better conditions
worse appear, and In support of this
statement the situation In Cuba Is re
viewed at some length. Without dis
tinctly averring that the struggle H a
hopeless one on tho part of Spain, tho
noto Intimates Spain has made surh
slight progress that no hope of an cany
conclusion of the war can be enter
tained. The note also contains a lather
significant a'lu&lon to the power of pub
lic sentiment In this country In favo
ot Cuba, nnd the Spanish authorities
are permitted to understand that this
sentiment cannot bo much longer held
In check. In conclusion It Is nvetred
that the president In guarded language
suggests to Spain a plan whereby the
deplorable hostilities can be brought to
a satisfactory conclusion Tho Post
does not undertake to say Just what
the details of this plan arc, but an In
timation Is given that autonomv on
liberal lines Is the pivot of the solution
suggested.
Until the nccuracy of this digest U
established there can. of course, be
only tentative comment upon It. Au
tonomy for Cuba of a cenulno kind,
under the guarantee of the United
States, would doubtless be tho best
thing for nil concerned If all concerned
would exhibit sense enough to accept
It gracefully. But wo fear that what
Spain will ultimately require in order
that there may be secured from her a
Just appreciation of tho situation in
Cuba will bo the form of procedure
from which our presidents appear to
shrink, namely, tho curt Anglo-Saxon
command, backed by force If neces
sary, to pack up her belongings In
Cuba and get out.
A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., says
Mr. Bryan looks ten years older than
a year ago. "We regret that ho seems
no wiser.
Teach Them a Lesson.
The Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer is en
titled to the unenviable distinction of
being the first paper in the United
States to try to make political capital
out of the Lattlmer riot. The News
Dealer has gloried In the vocabulary
of anarchism ever since the riot took
place, and now It frantically endeavors
to array the strikers against tho Lu
zerne county Republican ticket because
Sheriff Martin is a Republican.
"H'o doubt If the News-Denier rea
lizes fully how contemptible Its course
is; but none the less if there are any
politicians in Luzerne so small as to
meditate a campaign of this character
tho respectable citizens of the county,
without regard to party, ought to com
bine to teach them a much-needed les
son. Piesldent Gompera of tho American
Federation of Labor add his voice to
the chorus of those who predict in
1S9S a season of unexampled prosperity.
At this rate calamity howling will soon
become a lost art.
Three Cheerful Facts.
Three Interesting facts bearing on tho
general condition of business in the
United States were chronicled In Sat
urday's Issue of the New York Sun.
One Is contained in the assertion that
there are at this time fewer idle work
Ingmen in New York city than there
have been at any other time in many
years. Tho icports of the various
trades unions In New Yotk show an
Increase in the number of men cm
ployed today over a year ago of nearly
thirty-five per cent. The heads ot
various trades unions who have been
asked to estimate the number of unem
ployed say that of labor of all classes
there is less than Ave per cent, unem
ployed today against from thirty per
cent, to fifty per cent, one year ago.
Tho second fact Is embodied in an
Interview had by a Sun reporter with
John Claflln, of tho H. B. Claflln com
pany, wholesalers of dry goods, con
firming the report that that company's
sales for August,lS97, exceeded by moro
than $1,000,000 Its sales for August.
189G. "I believe," said Mr. Cladln, "that
we are at the beginning of at least two
of tho most prosperous years this coun
try has ever known. I can compare
them only with 1879 and 1880, the two
most prosperous years in the history
of the country. Those years, I think,
we are about to surpnss. It 13 a well
known fact that every period ot de
pression Is foljowed by a period of cor
responding great prosperity. We have
Just had four of the worst years in tho
history of the country. Tho spell has
been broken now. From ono end of the
country to tho other Indus tiles are
starting up again and prosperity is
found. If we can Judge by the con
ditions that prevailed In 1879 wo should
have at least two prosperous years.
For myself, I do not see why we should
not have four or five. Tho outlook Is
never so bright as It is now, and busi
ness was never In a better condition.
As I said before, wo have stopped com
paring this year with last becauso tho
difference is so great ttiat comparisons
become worthless and now we are cal
culating how far we shall exceed the
top notch record of 1892."
Fact third nppears In a dispatch
from Washington, which eays; "The
Postofflco department Is convinced that
prosperity is not only coming but Is
actually here. This Is due to tho fig
ures for tho business transacted last
month by the thirty leading ofTlcoa of
the United States, a statement of
which was Issued today. The Incrcaso
of business over August of last year
was eight per cent. Tho slgnlllcanco ot
this fact becomes more apparent when
tho figures for tho other months this
year are glvon. For January tho re
turns showed a decrease of 3.G per cent.
February showed a decease ot 4.G per
cent. In March things tool; a turn, and
tho receipts Increased 2.2 per cent, over
those for tho corresponding month In
1800. April showed five per cent, in
crease, May seven per cent., June five
per cent., nnd July three per cent. But
in August business took a bound from
threo per cent, the month before to
eight per cent. If this rate ot Incrcaso
keeps up the coming fiscal yenr will
show a tremendous increase of busi
ness and receipts over last year, nnd
tho department believes that this Is a
barometer of tho business situation in
the United States."
Thcso citations of evidence carry
their own comment.
To what extent tho present yellow
fever epidemic along our southern
coast la duo to our communication
with fever-infected Cuba is not yet
clear; but it is worth while recalling
that tho menace to the health ot the
United States Involved in the bad sani
tation characteristic ot Spanish rulo in
Cuba has been set forth in way of
warning by eminent medical authori
ties. It seems to us that we would bo
Justified ns a measure of self protec
tion In moving for tho disinfection of
Cuba.
The next mayor of New Yotfc may
try to be non-partisan but conditions
beyond his ability to modify will force
him to line up on one side or the other
of national party politics, and there
fore tho Republican organization In
New Yoik has a right to demand that
the man whom It supports for mayor
wilt agiee, if elected, to remember his
friends.
The lesson of most of these recent
railway accidents in the West Is that
the best roadbed, the best cars, the best
general equipment and the best paid
labor with a high requirement of ef
ficiency in the long run are the cheap
est. Cheap Johnlsm In raliroauing
Is a gamble with death in which
death holds a majority of the points.
m
The Press on That
Laffimer Affair
The Law in tho Case.
Trom tho New York Sun.
Does any good citizen believe that If
tho rioters of Luzerno county should now
refuso to disperse, and should defy and
attack tho soldiers whom Governor
Hastings has sent in force to restore or
der and uphold tho law. the commander
of tho stute troops would not bo Justified
In performing his duty, oven at tho cost
of tho life of every man In the mob
which persisted In defiance? Tho gover
nor of Pennsylvania Is a higher odlccr
than tho sheriff of a county, but In facing
a law-defying and law-bi caking mob the
two ofllcers represent precisely tho samo
supremo nuthoilty. The proclamation ot
tho twornor Issued from Hnrrlsburg,
means no moro than tho Hot act read on
tho highway by the local representative
of law and order, except as It warns the
law breakers that tho law wilt bo en
forced by an agency more powerful than
Is at a sheriff's immediate command.
Tho posse of deputies lined across the
road and the regiment on guard nt tho
sceno of violence nro performing tho
samo duty, and tho peril of tho law
breaker is tho samo In resisting tho ono
or tho other. Confronting and defying
a hlnglo officer of the peace, or n sheriff
with his sworn deputies, or a company
of militia, or nn entire brigade, tho po
sition of tho rebel banded with other
rebels against law Is the same. Ho per
sists at his peril. If his blood flows, his
blood Is on his own head.
Liberty Not License.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
Tho appalling tragedy at Lattlmer, was
tho logical outgrowth of conditions
which havo been tolerated In somo of
our mining regions for somo years past.
That tho sheriff nnd his posse were en
tirely excusable In firing upon tho lgnor
and nnd infuilnttd mob may bo ques
tioned; but If such measures nro neces
sary to teach he lawless alien element
of tho mining region that liberty does
not mean license to Interfere violently
with tho lights of others or to destroy
pioperty or life. It must at least bo ex
cused If not Justified. Tho growth of
lawlessness Is painfully manifest In some
of our great Industrial centres, and tho
crisis precipitated by the Lattlmer trag
edy, startling as tho results may be. Is
likely to clear tho ntmosphcro and teach
tho majesty of tho law allko to alien
and citizen.
Tho llenl Culprits.
From tho Plttston Gazette
Whether or not Sheriff Martin and his
men exceeded their authority tho au
thorities will doubtless determine nnd
place tho responsibility where It belongs,
If any wrong has been done. Tho law
abiding peoplo everywhere will, ns a
rule, bo disposed to lenient criticism of
tho officers of tho law, realizing that In
all their dealings with theso vicious fel
lows they tako their lives in their hands,
and that they were In a critical position
and felt compelled to act promptly In ac
cordance with their best Judgment. But
back of this wholo trouble, tho corpora
tions that have flooded theso coal fields
with this class of foreigners are largely
responsible for tho misery that lias como
upon them and upon others.
Thinks Deputies Were Precipitate.
From tho Chlcaso Times-Herald.
Wo can find no legitimate excuse for
tho severity of tho sheriff and his men.
In fivo minutes fivo times as many poor
creatures fell before tho rifles of Mar
tin's followers as wero slain In the who's
course of tho Debs outbreak In tho neigh
borhood of Chicago. There are times
when It Is necessary for tho preservation
of tho peaco and tho protection of tho
lives of law-abiding peoplo to uso arms
for the suppression ot mobs. But this Is
the last resort of men fit to guard tho
peace. The incendlaiy most feared dur
ing popular disturbances by men whosn
business it is to administer the law Is
tho fool or coward whoso weak heart
causes him to flro a rlllo when a calm
word or at most a stout cudgel would
be quite as effect Ivo in reducing disor
der. Deputies Went Too For.
From tho Buffalo Express.
Evidently organization waB lacking In
that forco of armed deputies, Had they
been commanded by somo cool man, tho
slaughter would not have been so great,
for It Is In evidence that many ot tho
victims wero shot in tho back whllo en
deavoring to escape. This teuturo of tho
tragedy gives an appearanco of wanton
killing,
Frlmtirlly Responsible.
From tho Washington Star.
It Is to bo remembered that the strik
ers wore Ignorant men, unacquainted
with tho law and language of the coun
try. For this, for tho Importation of a
dangerous class of workmen under such
circumstances, tho mine owners nnd op
erators aro primarily responsible. It
they seek cheap labor from such sources
they Incur gravo risks of creating anar
chical conditions. Much depends, In tho
final cstlmato of the responsibility, as to
how far the strikers had gono In the uso
ot violence nnd haw far tho sheriff was
Justified In nssumlng that they wero on
nn crrnnd that entitled him to deprlvo
them of tho right to march upon the
highway.
Richelieu's Thoory Wise.
From tho Lancaster Examiner.
Tho Hungarian miner may be wild,
passlon&to and uncivilized, but ho has
been brought hero by coal operators and
should not bo shot down till ho docs
vlolenco or commits some overt act of
criminal Insurrection. Whllo tho Ameri
can citizen will put down anarchy and
mob law with a stern hand, ho yet will
not wndo In blood till nil means aro used
to prevent Its flow. Tho country would
bo In a serious condition If labor is to bo
regulated by a Winchester rifle instead
of arbitration. Tho advice of Richelieu
Is always in ordor, "Uso all means to
conciliate; that falling all means to
crush."
Very Much I'.xcltod.
From tho Scranton Free Press.
If anarchy Is desired by corporations
and their hirelings, If red revolution is
to tako tho place of reason, let such
crimes as that which was perpetrated at
Hazleton last Friday, continue; let the
strong mailed arm ot the law keep on
striking down tho poor and weak; let
poltroons continue In positions where pre
cious human lives are at their nbsoluto
mercy and let tho hirelings of corpora
tions continue to usurp tho powers of the
peaco ofllcers of this commonwealth. If
this Is to bo a government for tho neonlo
It Is tlmo for tho people to make, n,
stand.
Promptness Pnys.
From tho Troy Times.
Tho sheriff at Urbana, Ohio, was gen
erally condemned because ho parleyed
with a mob assembled recently to comr
mlt a lynching and fired when too Into
to restrain tho would-be lawbreakers.
Perhaps tho sheriff of Luzerne county,
Pennsylvania, fired too early. But tho
history of riots tenches that the earliest
round of ammunition is tho smallest,
nnd that temporizing with a mob rte .
tet mined to violate tho law means la tho
end a greater loss of lite.
Put Down Slob Law.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
It Is high time that mob law should
bo ended In Pennsylvania, regardless of
tho sacrlflco necessary to accomplish It.
Theso troubles do not como from Ameri
can citizens, but from an alien clnss
that matt cither learn to obey our laws
or must bo compelled to take refuge In
somo other section of the world. There
can bo no peaco whllo Ignorance and
lawlessness assume to rulo in any com
munity. ,
Marching Involves n Mcnncc.
From tho Philadelphia Recofd.
Another lesson made all tho moro con
spicuous by the tragedy is that tho
marching to and fro of bodies of men
who proceed from mlno to mine for the
purpose of coercing workmen to drop
their picks and fall In line Is n species
of disorder involving gravo menace to
the public peace and to tho lives of citi
zens, and one to which the civil authori
ties cannot afford to bo indifferent with
out dereliction of duty.
Tho .Main Source nl Troublo.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Tho Immigration laws should bo so
strong ns to prevent tho landing of men
who are not Intelligent enough to read
nnd write and who nro not capable ot
becoming good citizens. In all the re
cent strikes In tho coal nnd coke coun
tiics the tutbulcnt element has corno
from these foreign swarms.
I'onrs tho Consequences.
From the Springfield Republican.
Tho deputies appear to have lost their
heads and to havo fired upon tho mass of
strikers without due provocation and
without direction. It Is thus a cases well
calculated to make bad blood, to pro
voke angry discussion and further In.
tenslfy that class feeling which is an
ugly fact of tho time.
Thov Assiimo tho Risks.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
It Is clearly tho duty of all persons en
grged In a riotous assemblage to disperse
upon the demand of tho sheriff. If they
continue to participate In such an asssm
blago upon such demand, they assume
the extreme risks which such conduct
Involves.
Good Advice.
From tho Buffalo News.
Tho tlmo Is offered now for operators
and miners to show determination nnd
patriotism In laying astdo anger to tho
end that tho strlko may ceaso on a basis
of united concessions and fairness.
Right to the Point.
From tho Rochester Post-Express.
Let the sternest rebuke of all law
abiding citizens bo visited upon those
who, with Inflammatory speech, shall
seek to mako tho shooting at Lattlmer
tho Incitement toward further lawless
ness. Too Often Overlooked.
From the Elmlra Advertiser.
Thcso are times for a cool head as well
ns a sympathetic heart. Eagerness to
denounce tho guardians of the peace re
acts in the most dangerous ways.
FICKLE FOLLOWERS.
rrom the Philosopher.
Tho real troublo with tho so-called la
bor movement Is tho curse of leadership.
Men havo vaulted Into place nnd poner
with cheap abilities and In the places of
tho great they rattle around with much
lost motion which makes a big noise tnat
they mistake for the accomplishment of
something. Eugene V. Debs has eclipsed
the king of France In that ho has matched
up the hill moro times with moro men
than did tho sovereign of the vine-clad
slopes, and has therefore by that many
times more, marched down again. In fact
tho only two leaders of labor in this coun
try who havo over been ablo to command
at tho samo tlmo the respect of tho coun
try nt largo and tho confidence of tho
conservative elements of their organiza
tions were Terrenco V. Powderly and Sam
uel Gompers, nnd both theso men havo
suffered defeat nt popular elections in
their respectlvo bodies, Gompers to re
gain his power by tho final prevailing of
wiser counsels: Powderly to have contin
ued contumely heaped upon him by on
administration headed by n man conspic
uous for having said moro meaningless
words and accomplished fewer actual re
sults than any man who ever took a
placo In public life.
IIOXIiST WEALTH.
From, tho Chicago Record.
A great deal is heard in those daya
about attacks on tho rights of property,
and it is indeed unfortunate that the
wild and revolutionary talk of a certain
class of agitators should find even as
much response us it does among part of
the population. But let wealth remember
the duties it owes to society, and tho
dangers that menace Its rights will van
ish and tho power of tho revolutionary
agitator will ceaso. Let wealth pay Its
fair proportion of taxes; let It help rather
than hinder tho work of securing o- reve
nue system that will make it easier to
apportion tho burdens ot taxation fairly
and equitably amonj the members of the
community. Lot honest wealth array It
self on tho side ot the public and honest
government when unscrupulous wealth is
trying to plunder the public. In short,
let wealth remember the responsibilities
whloh It owes to soilety, and tho rights
which It claims will bo accorded without
question.
