free from record-breaking notiBense of
this kind but It Is evident that the In

moment to the seat of a labor con

danger to the peace of the community
would soon solve the problem of law

miss tho point In tho Lattlmer uffatr
or deliberately misrepresent It. Tho
nnarchlBts of the sanctum are In a
minority, thank heaven.

No International Complications.
We notice that representatives In this
country of the Governments of Austria,
Russia and CJermany are reported to
be Inquiring into the details of tho Lat
tlmer tragedy with tin purpose of as
certaining whether there ! In the epi
sode anything: calling for action by
them looking to tho indemnification of
the families of the foreigners shot en
th's Lattlmer highway. To such in
quiry there cannot bo fair objection. It
is n part of the duty of the'so consular
olllclals. If citizens of the United States
vcre shot In a riot In a foreign country
we should expect our consuls In that
country to prosecut:? similar Inquiry.
Only in this way can there be assur
ance that treaty rights are duly ob
served and American credentials ac
corded proper respect abroad.
Hut the fact tlvat an inquiry of this
character Is to b made at Lattlmer has
no further significance. The men sh'ot
by the deputies on last Friday after
noon were shot not because they wero
subjects of Austria, Russia or Germany
but because they were assembled In a
manner contrary to law for an illegal
purpose and because when Informed of
their Infraction of the law and ordered
to disperse they persisted In disobedi
ence and through some of their num
ber exerted force upon the chief repre
sentative of the law, endangering his
safety. A body of Americans which
should act in this manner In anv of
th'3 foreign countries above named
would be shot down by the police or
Eoldlery of that country with equal
celerity and this government could not
rightfully jray a word In protest.
In pointing out these facts we are
free absolutely from any prejudice
against the victims of the Lattlmer
shooting. On the contrary we feel for
' them and for their families a. degree of
.sympathy because of their ismoranee
and the many mitigating circumstances
.which would not be felt for a body of
educated native citizens dispersed In a
similar Insurrection against the peace.
But facts are facts, regardless of our
sympathies; and at a lime when so
many voices of mischief are raised In
nnarchlstlc abuse of the representatives
of law and order for their resolute re
pression cf rioting It Is necessary to
emphasize the fact that the Lattlmer
"martyrs" were martyrs only to their
own inadequate conceptlonof the duties
and responsibilities of those who make
their home In these United States.
fair margin of profit on the commodity
In which they aro concerned, but
also of insuring a rate of wages to
their employes which will bo sufficient
to compensate honest labor intelligent
ly performed. Tho press of tho
country has, with a few honorable ex
ceptions, studiously distorted the alms
of tho Anthracite coal operators' as
sociation, but It Is possible that tho
closer study of coal matters necessita
ted by the recent occurrences In tho
vicinity of Hazleton will lead eventual
ly to a more accurate Judgment.
That Harrisburg Bond.
Inasmuch' as a great ado has been
raised and seems likely to bo raised
hereafter concerning the so-called bond
signed by prominent Republicans at
Harrisburg last spring to protect the
stnte treasurer In making partial pay
ment of salaries In advance to employ
es of tho legislature, it may bo well
to endeavor to look at the matter
frankly and fairly, from a practical
standpoint,
It must In the first place be admitted
that such advance payment of stato
funds Is without authorization by law
and therefore Irregular, although well
established by custom. It Is, however,
an Irregularity having much to excuse
It. Comparatively few of the neces
sary employes of tho legislature can
afford to work from the beginning to
the close of thi legislative session with
out Intermediate payments on account
of salary. In the absence of a law
definitely covering this point It seems
reasonable to suppose that the state
treasuter could not be severely criti
cised for advancing pay to regular
legislative employes, providing he first
secured the commonwealth ngalnst
loss. There should be a law on the sub
ject fixing exactly the treasurer's re
sponsibility In tho premises but In Its
absence It seems to us that the treas
urer must be allowed some discretion,
provided nlways that there is no re
sultant loss or waste of public funds
held by him In custody. For such loss
his bondsmen would become re
sponsible. The only accusation produced in the
present controversy which reaches the
dimensions of a possible scandal
charges that the legislative pay roll
upon which payments were advanced
was padded; that the names of men
were put upon It who had no right to
be drawing pay from the state; that
the percentage of such padding prac
ticed at the recent session was so much
larger than usual as to force the evil
Into conspicuous notice. Wo can be
lieve this without being led to bellevo
that either General Reeder, Mr. Elkln
or any of their associates in signing
the mueh-talked-of bond protecting
Stato Treasurer Haywood had guilty
knowledge of any intent to defraud the
commonwealth or were conscious of
doing anything else than a kindness to
employes of tho legislature who were
clamorous for their pay. They are
hardly more to be condemned, for in
stance, than is tho governor for sign
ing at the session of 1S93 bills ap
propriating money to pay similar salar
ies; it is probable that neither they
nor he had at the time reason to sus
pect that the pay roll certified to by
tho regular legislative authorities was
other than correct.
In considering tills matter of tho
Harrisburg bond It should be remem
bered that the signers of it must pay
Into the treasury a sum equal to that
paid out on wage claims subsequently
disapproved by the governor. In other
words, they and not tho state aro the
losers through the transaction . It does
not seem, therefore, that there is suf
ficient call for the present excitement
on the part of tho critics of the bond.
It Is rather the signers of the bond who
have reason to feel bad.
In his letter of acceptance Seth Low,
tho Citizens' candidate for mayor of
Oreatcr New York, says virtually that
he is a Republican but will forget tho
fact if elected. It Is unlikely that Re
publicans, with' this notification in
mind, will rally to his support.
In whatever way tho situation is
viewed, the Republican party In Penn
sylvania. Is evidently billed for a sea
son of calorific vindication.

Candor compels us to make a few re
marks concerning tho remedies sold by
Dr. Kuram whoso "ad" appears In nn
othor part of tho paper at top of column
next to puro reading matter. Dr. Kuram
states that his blood lnvlgorator when
taken according to directions will snatch
a man from tho brink of tho grave in all
cases save when a lynching party re
solves to reduco tho population. As tho
doctor has always paid for his advertise
ments promptly wo seo no reason why
his word should be doubted. Wo advise
all readers ot tho "Hug" therefore who
have chilly blood to purchase a bottle of
Dr. Kuram's blood lnvlgorator and warm
up. Tno blood lnvlgorator when exter
nally applied Is also good for corns.

existed at tho moment tho collision bo
tweon tho mob and tho deputies oc
curred? Tho force under tho direction
of tho sheriff was composed not of Ir
responsible ruffians, or nlrcd detectives,
but of patriotic and responsible men
who In their capacity as citizens volun
teered to risk their lives In the cause of
law and order, and tho protection of
property, Theso mon tforo as truly sol
diers as wero the volunteers who thirty,
six years ago offered their lives to tho
defense of tho government of tho repub
lic. Tho mob at Lattlmer was on an
errand of lawlessness. Tho men who
composed that mob wero enemies of
nifice, law, order and tho rights of oth
ers, and not only Invited but challenged
the duly constituted civil authorities to a
collision. That a bloody fato overtook
eo many of them Is to bo deplored, but to
placo tho responsibility upon tho civil
authorities, under tho circumstances as
now known to havo existed, Is in Itself
nn incentive nnd encouragement to mob
law. It Is the duty of good citizens to
uphold tho duly constituted authorities
In tho performance of trtelr often dls
agrccablo but necessary duties. To con
done wanton lawlessness Is Inimical to
government Itself, tho protection of
which every man looks for when needed.
Tho maudlin sympathy for tho Lattlmer
rioters, so lavishly Interspersed with
condemnation of tho sheriff and his depu
ties, will only inclto tho contempt of
reasoning men. Tho men who wero
killed at Lattlmer wero defiantly bent on
violating tho laws; thoy wero warned
again nnd ngaln to desist; the sheriff
nnd his deputies wero tho representa
tives of law and order, and had full au
thority to stop lawlessness. That is the
whole case briefly stated,
A Salutary Lesson.
From tho Philadelphia Press.
It would not bo necessary to call out
tho stato troops every year for riot duty
if tho county sheriffs wero as efficient,
courageous and prompt ns they should
be. Tho mob at Lattlmer would not
havo been so astonished at mo terrible
ronsequences of their deflanco of tho
sheriff if they liad seen or heard of any
thing of tho kind before. These samo
men aro orderly enough in the presence
of militia. They will bo orderly here
after in tho prcsenco of tho sheriff,
backed by armed deputies, since they
know now tho awful consequenco that
may follow a defiance of tho legal rep
resentative of tho law nnd tho majesty
of tho state. Tho shedding of human
blood Is nlways deplorable. Wo arc
sorry for the Ignorant men who perished
becauso of their Ignorance of tho fact
that there Is any potency In the civil au
thority In this country. They woro not
wholly to blamo for their Ignorance,
since the acts and attitude of many cow
ardly sheriffs had confirmed them In this
belief. It was necessary that this con
viction should bo shattered and these
Ignorant foreigners taught that though
the law hero docs not oppress them as
In tho land of their birth, It neverthe
less stands for order and must bo re
spected and obeyed.

The Value of Uniforms.
There Is one thlnu for which the
foreign born resident of this country
lias respect, and that Is military au
thority as vested In a uniformed body
of men. trained in the art of war. Prob
ably It Is the only symbol of authority
which Impresses many of the ignorant
class as being In any sense potent. In
the lands from which thi:y come vast
standing nrmles are continually flash
ing tho evidences of, the power of the
government before the awe-stricken
gaze of ths common people and the
Influence is supremo In its representa
tion of law and order.
Here there is little display of gov
ernmental potency. A sheriff, bearing
little or no Insignia of office, at tho
head of a squad of men, dressed In
every day attire and frequently com
posed of citizens wh'o ars an every day
sight on the streets, attempts to exer
cise authority over hundreds of rioters
to whom the simplicity of garb no less
than the uncomprehended language
means nothing. Naturally enough, from
their point ot view they regard neither.
If the seventy deputies had beijn prop
erly uniformed tho other day at Lat
tlmer there would not have been tho
woeful results which forever must
mark it as a Black Friday. The march
ing foreigners would have Involuntar
ily yielded their respect to the emblem
of government power in the military
effect which they all know enough to
fear whatever may be the tongue or
the attitude of tho representatives of
tho law.
In nil great labor centres such as
this and such as HazUton, uniforms
befitting tho dignity of the state and
national government should be provid
ed In view of such deplorable condi
tions as have recently disturbed tho
country.

Words Aptly Spoken.
"The great mining corporations in
Pennsylvania which have by solicita
tion and Inducement supplied them
selves with alien laborers not amen
able to ordinary means of control can
not escape serious responsibility. Thoy
owe to the state v hlch protects them
In the peaceable possession of their
great properties a reciprocal care In
the management of their business so
that their mining operations shall not
be a standing menace -to good order.
If they will have Huns to do their
work for them they should provide
against the risk and danger incurred
and the cost of repression devolved
upon the counties and tho state. It Is
not fair that other Industries should bo
taxed In order that the mines may be
filled with laborers who work for low
wages. Employers have nn unques
tioned right to get their work done ns
cheaply as possible; but the people of
tho coal regions have also a right to
live In peace, and to be free from the
lawless outbreaks which put life and
property at hazard at the hands of men
who contribute little or nothing to tho
maintenance of goverment, hut who
add materially to the cost of it."
Few of tho comments which have
been elicited by the Lattlmer affair aro
more apt than tho abovo from the
Philadelphia Record. Representing as
It in a certain sense does a portion of
tho anthracite industry, Tho Tribune
desires to express its entire accord
with the foregoing sentiments. Noth
ing is plainer in the light of experience
than that cheap labor, when cheapen
ed to tho point of unreliability, does
not pay and that Its employment when
there is an alternative Involves a
crime to all concerned to the public,
which Is made to suffer Innocently; to
tho decent laborer, who is forced Into
either a ruinous competition or else a
change of occupation fraught with
great precarlousness; to tho cheap
workman thus imported, who Is made
the victim of a hostile and often unfair
feeling prevalent In his neighbor
hood, and finally, to the employer
himself who Is beguiled into a false
view of the relations which should ex
ist between the men who work and tho'
men who pay.
The problem here touched upon Is
far too broad to bo comprehended
within tho limits of a newspaper edi
torial; but we vlsh to say at least
that the moro intelligent anthracite
operators recognize the full justice of
tho. language Just used and are now In
co-operatlpn for the express purnone,
not only of securing for themselves a
A Natural Result.
From tho Wtlkes-Barro Times.
It Is argued by some that tho strikers
wero marching peaceably along, doing no
damngo and that under theso clrcum
stnnces tho sheriff had no right to Inter
fere. Hero is whero thero is a misappre
hension of tho law. Tho mob In question
had openly expressed a determination to
march on tho Lattlmer breaker In which
wero working men and boys who did not
desire to strike. They had said they wero
going for tho purposo of "cleaning out"
tho workmen and compelling tnem by
forco to cease work. The mob had not
reached the breaker, but were making for
it as rapidly as possible. Tho sheriff had
warned them early In their march that
ho would not permit such an Invasion
nnd attempted to stop tho crowd, which
Ignored him and pushed on. Ho then
reached tho head of tho column again by
means of trolley cars and again demand
ed that the mob disperse. Instead of ob
serving tho order some of tho strikers
assaulted tho. sheriff whllo tho crowd
marched on. It was then, seeing that
forco was 'tho only thing that would be
effectlvo In compelling respect for tho
sheriff's orders, and knowing that In a
hand-to-hand conflict without weapons
tho strikers overwhelming numbers
would defeat the deputies and no doubt
cause tho death of some of tho latter, tho
deputies fired, with tho result which is
well known. Thero is an erroneous im
pression abroad that to bo within tho
law tho sheriff should havo waited until
tho strikers wero on tho ground owned
by tho coal company before using forco,
but in a caco llko tho abovo such delay
Is not necessary. If a peaco officer has
information that a crlmo is to bo com
mitted it is as much In tho lino of his
duty to prevent that crime, if possible,
as to apprehend tho criminal after tho
crlmo has been committed. This fact
must bo constantly bomo In mind; the
strikers were lav breakers, they wcru
menacing private property nnd interfer
ing with tho rights of other3 both op
erators and their employes. This defl
anco of the law had been going on for a
number of days. Tho sheriff of tho coun
ty had for four days been endeavoring
to restore order and maintain peace. Ho
had several times read the riot act. but
without effect. Tho strikers reiused to
diii creo nnd set at naught tho authority
of the sheriff of tho county and through
him, ot tho peoplo of tho state. They
even threatened tho person of the sheriff
and laid violent hands on him and
seemed likely to do him bodily injury.
What followed was but mo natural re
sult of such defiance of lawful authority.

From the Washington Post.
Unfortunately for the best interests of
tho Aincrlctn people, wo have among us
a number of newspapers which appeal to
prejudices of tho Ignorant and tho vicious
elements of Boeloty. Unablo to secure tho
respoct and confidence of the better
classes, they cater to tho approval of tho
mob. In the caso of such an outbreak as
wo are now discussing, thoy Invariably
represent the victims as virtuous and per
secuted martyrs, and the officers of tho
law as brutal and callous monsters. Tho
man In tho ragged coat is always a puro
and noble creature. The man In tho clean
shirt is always a cold-blooded and re
morseless villain. These papers teach tho
poor to regard the independent as their
enemies and to look upon tho wealthy
as tho cause of all their sufferings. Their
function is to foment hatred between tho
classes, to oncourago violence and law
lessness, And such occurrences as that
referred to aro always seized upon, dis
torted, colored and misrepresented, to
servo tho wicked end they havo in view.
Theso newspapers aro now Industriously
at work making it appear that tho men
killed and wounded at Lattlmer last Week
wero guiltless ot offense, worthy and un
fortunato persons trying to make a live
lihood for their starving families, and vic
tims of an unprovoked and ruthless
butchery. Tho ehcrlft and his deputies
aro described as bloody Janissaries grati
fying a thlnt for slaughter. Wo aro asked
to gazo upon this picture of tortured in
nocenco and to Join In tho cry for tho ex
termlnatlfm ot tho offenders. They aro
pursuing their old famlller tactics, adding
fuel to the flamo of excitement, multi
plying the elements of calamity, fan
ning hatred and Instigating new horrors
and excesses. Law-abiding people should
beware of theso professional enemies to
society and civilization.
Tho Wholo Case in Uriel.
From the Wllkes-IJarro Record.
Tho sheriff of tho county performed
only the plain duty required of him by
law when ho Issued his proclamation
warning all people to abstain from
riotous or lawless demonstrations. Ho
performed only his sworn duty when
he organized a posse of armed deputies
to old him In preserving law and order.
When his proclamation was disregard
ed, and hundreds of men engaged in
lawloss and violent demonstrations, ho
only performed his plain duty when he
attempted to arrest the loaders. When
tho sheriff was nttacked by the mob
and ids llfo put In Jeopardy It was tho
duty of tho deputies to defend him and
themselves. It will bo alleged that there
was no necessity for such a wholesale
sacrifice of life and limb, but who shall
diaw tho lino of what constitutes prop
er reslBtanco under such conditions as
.llichicvnus Dcmngogism.
From tho Rochester Chronicle.
Thero is a quito obvious attempt to
manufacture public indignation against
Sherllf Martin and his deputies. Tho at
tempt Is mischievous and should be com
bated. Tho tendency to hastily condemn
and persecute officers of the law who,
in the discharge of their duty, havo been
unfortunately compelled to kill persons
who wero violently opposing themselves
to tho law and its officers, is too strong
already. It should bo checked, rather
than encouraged. If It Is not checked
tho outcome will bo that officers of tho
law will be taught that no emergency
will justify them in taking life, that
public opinion demands that, rather
than tiro upon a mob, they must yield to
It. The hands of tho officers ol tho iaw
thus tied, every attempt to uphold law
and order ngalnst tho whim of the mob
will be a mere mockery, lawlessness will
always havo its way, and tho law will
bo unablo to efficiently protect any law
abiding citizen In tho qulot enjoyment of
ids rights. When a community falls Into
tho habit of hnstlly and unthinkingly
condemning and persecuting officers of
tho law, solely because men havo been
killed by tho officers of tho law, that
community is guilty of suicidal folly.
Fnlr Piny Cnlled Tor.
From tho Philadelphia Ledger.
Tho civil authority has been frequent
ly criticised for Its laxity in enforcing
tho laws at grave Junctures. Tho minis
ters of tho law are, of course, not in
fallible, but they nro not to bo con
demned without a full, fair and impar
tial hearing In tho law courts. Tho sher
iff who was called upon to perform his
perilous duty at Hazleton Is, of course,
answerablo for his acts before the law;
and public opinion as to his conception
of his duty and his rigorous execution of
it should bo suspended until ho Is Justi
fied or condemned by tho searching pro
cesses of the law, should ho bo brought
into court as dispatches foreshadow.

to go rather slow In thu matter of reso

a slmplo matter to utter rhetoric which

of citizens of foreign birth or of foreign

Tho I.nngungn of Anarchy.
From tho Wllkes-Barro Nows-Dealer.
Tho wholesale murders of Friday last
ought to stamp out tho Republican ma
jority In Luzerno county for many years
to come. For years tho Slavs and Italian
miners havo been led to tho polls by Re
publican mine bosses, but tho future

their murdered brethren is upon tho
heads of a Republican sheriff, his thug

Tim Wholo Contention.
From the Wllkes-Barro Times.
Tho right of every man to strike
ngalnst what ho may consider Injustice
or oppression is universally conceded and
the right of a striker to use every Influ
ence of persuasion to induco any other
man to strlko Is equally conceded, but
tho law says that no man has a right to
use forco to compel a man who Is satis
fled with his wages nnd hm labor to
craso working. That Is tho wholo con
tention In tho Hazleton region.
Need n Tnriiron Labor.
From tho Altoona Tribune.
Of course order must bo preserved, tho
majesty of tho law vindicated and prop,
erty protected, But this bloody episode
should give renewed Impetus to tho move
ment against the Importation of cheap
alien labor. It is selfishness which
brings them here to degrade American
labor, and It Is selfishness which makes
them the targets of tho bullets of depu
ty sheriffs. We must have a tariff on la
bor as well as on the products of labor.
No Clniui for Dnmnges.

Any attempt to mako the state or na

death of any of tho aliens killed by Sher
