A Clear Definition of the Law- In Lis charge to the Allegheny Coun ty, r, Grand Jury as to what conslituexi treason against the State, in the cases ajainit the Hoested strikers' Aiviao ry Committee, Chief Justice I'axson left little room for doubt that the men who coL.itu.ted the A Irisory Committee were gni'.ty of murder and treason. The charge was marked throegbout by a com prehensive interpretation of the causes andeTct of the riot, just how far the strikers coal J have jrone t ithout com tnitting treason afaiast the State, and of their actions which placed them beyond the pale of the law. Ja:L Taxon said : GkNTLSHEX OF TH GiASO JcKT. The Dietrirt Attorney will lay tfore you at the preoent term one or more indict ments charging certain parties with the offence of treason ajainst the Common wealth of Penwvlvani. In view of the gravity of the charge the learned jugea holding the present term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer for this county have invited me to come in and give you some instructions as to the character of the offence and ycur duties in regard to it. And that yon mar know that I am net an:ing to act without right, it is prop er to say to you that by the express terms of the Constitution of Pennsylvania the Justices of the Supreme Court are made luetic ex-o2icio of the Court of Over and Terminer in every coonty in the Slate. Notwithstanding thia, I would hesitate to act were it not that the situation is so grave, and, it is feared, the law so much misunderstood, that an authoritative ex position of it seemed necessary in the in terests of rood government. It havirg reqtiired the intervention of the Govern or, as Commander in Chief, and the en tire military power of the Stats to re store order, it ass considered proper lor those highest in position in the Judiciary Department of the Government to de clare the law in such manner that it may be clearly understood. The offence- charged in the bills of indictment had heir origin in what arc popularly known as tne Homestead no's ci last summer. Many of the incident! f those riots may be properly referred to as a part of the history of the times. THE SATVEE Or THE OFFENCES. In order that you may the more readi ly understand the nature of the offences charged in the bills of indictment, I will refer briefiy to seme facta corrected with those disturbances about which I do not understand there is any dispute. About the cl?ee of the month cf Jane last a dis agreement in regard t3 wages a ose be tween the Carnegie Steel Company, at what is known as the Homestead works, and some of its employes- It is not neces sary that I should refer to the UeUila or this difficulty farther than to say that the dispute concerned only a small portion of tl;e employes of the company, and those recei ting the highest wages. The parties being unable to come to an agree ment that was mutaally satlslactory the company closed its works oa the SO Ih day of Jane and discharge its men. So fr there was no violation of law by any one: the men had the right to demand what aaaes they saw fit, and to refuse to go to work oniess their demand was sat-L-ed. The company had the right to de cline to employ the men upon the terms offered by them and to employ others in eir stead upon such terms aa could be agreed upon. This arises from the fact that the relation of employer and em ployee is one of contract merely. Neither party Las a right to coerce the other in to the making of a contract to which his mind does not assent. The employer cannot compel his employe to work a day longer than he sees fit, nor his contract calls lor, nor for a wag. that is unsatis factory to biza. It follows, that the em ploye cannot compel his employer to give him work or to enter into a contract of hiring, much less can he dictate the terms of employment. When the negotiations between the parties came to an end, all contract rela tions between them ceased ; the men had no further legal demand upon the com pany, and ther had no more interest in or claim opon its property than has a domestic servant cpon the household goods of his employer when discharged by the latter or when he voluntarily leaves Lis service- nor does it' make any di fie re dcs that a large number were dis charged at one time; their aggregate rights rise no higher than their ruhts as inditiduala. The mutual right of the parties to contract in regard to wages, and thecharacier of the employment, whether by the piece or by the day, whether for 10 hoars or leas, is as fixed anTclear as any other right which we enjoy under the Constitution and laws of this State. It is a right which belongs to every citiien, laborer or capitalist, and it is the tnain duty of the State to protect him in the enjoyment of it HISTOEt's DAtE CHAPTKi. As before observed, but a small portion of the men were affected by the proposed erseit ESTABIilSHED 1837. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBEPv 19, 1892. reaJjssirnent of v'Rt The larger por tion of them, who were members of what is known as the Amalgamated Associa tion of Iron and Steel Workers, were net affected at alL Nor were the large fjree of employes, seme Z203 in number, who were not members of said A-sociattocu Upon the failure to arrive at an adjust ment of the wag?difficulty, thecotnpany proposed to operate its. works by the em ployment ef other men not members of the Amalgamated Association. It had the right to do this onder the law ot Pennsylvania. This right was resisted, and the fact of its resistance, and the mannerof it, are cow a part of the his tory of the State; it is a chapter whkh every good citizen woai l gladly see oh - lite rat ed it is a part of the history of these events that the lodges conrp-jsin;; the Amalga mated Association proceeded to organ ise what has been widely known as the Advisory Committee that this com mittee orgaaixei by the appointment of a c!airman, and proceeded at once to take cbarg?;of affairs at Homestead ; that among its first acts was to order the me chanics, laborers and other employes of the works, amounting to about 3,J whose wages were not affected by the projiosed change, and who had entered into a new agreement with the company, upon the tercus of their oi l contract, to break their contracts, and to refuse to work until the Amalgamated Association was recognized and its terms agreed to. lp to this point tfcere had been no breach of the peace; the men had the riht to refuse to work and to persuade their friends te refuse also. The law has no quarrel with labor associations so long as they act peaceably and respect the rights of others ; on the contrary, while they keep within the law they have the sympathy of all good citizens in eTery honest, manly effort to improve their condition. Bat the State of Pennsylva nia will not permit these, or any other organizations, to trample upon the law and deny the rights of other laborers not members of sach associations. THE ADViaLS.T COMJ-.TTts's WufcC It is alleged that the Advisory Com mittee did more than induce others not to accept employment from the company ; that it allowed no persons to enter the mills of the Carnegie Stee! Company, and even permitted no strangsrs to enter the loa n of Homestead without ita con sent ; that it arranged and perfected an organization ef a military character, con sisting of three divisions, with command ers, captains, etc, the captains to report to the.di vision commanders and the latter to report to the Advisory Committee; that a girdle cf pickets a as establish ed by which the works and the town were guarded like a military encampment; that thess pickets arrested every man who attempted to approach either the town or the works until he could give ac count of himself which was satisfactory to the Advisory Committee ; that all dis cueionofthe wage question was posi tively prohibited ; that aii these and many other things were done to deprlte the company of the use of its property, and to prevent it from operating its works by the aid of men who were not members of the Amalgamated Association. It was in this state cf affairs that the company, apprehending injury to its property and its possible destruction, ap plied to the High Sheriff of Allegheny county for protection. That o -fleer made an effirt to secure 103 deputies to go to Homestead on the afternoon of July 3. He succeeded in getting about a dozen, w ho, under the charge of a deputy sher iff, attempted to enter the works of the company in order to protect them. They were driven eff with threats and the au thority of the Sheriff defied. On the morning of July 6 the company attempt ed to place S-J watchmen into the works. The men were selected by the aid of the Pickerton Agency and were in charge of a dspaty sheriff. Their bn-iness, and their only business, was to protect the property of their employers. The land ing of these men on the grounds of the company was resisted by a large crowd of men, many of ahoui were armed; gnns, pistols and cannon were discharg- j ed at the watchmen, and the fire was re turned by a portion of the latter. An attempt was made to destroy them by the rioters by the use of dynamite and by burning oil. l inaliy, after a number had been killed and wounded on each side, the watchmen surrendered to the Advisory Committee, at that time the only authority permitted to be exercised at Homestead. Their treatment after their surrender has few chapters to e-ual it in savage warfare, notwithstanding the humane efforts of a portion of the committee to prevett it- A BrMllATISi SFErrACU-. This outbreak was so serious in its character that the Governor of the Su:e and Commander-in-Chief of ita army, acting in the strict line of his duty and altera call for aid from the High Sheriff of Allegheny county, ordered oat the en tire National Guard cf the State fr its aappression. feicce men we nave naa ior Lany weeks the humiliating spectacle of a business plant surrounded by the army of the State for its protection at an ex pense of several hundred thousand dol lars to the taxpayers and the business of the country disturbed to seme extent, and for what ? We can have some sympathy with a mob driven to desperation by hunger, as in the days of the FrencU Revolution, but we can have none for men receiving steady employment at exceptionally high wages in resisting the law, and in resort ing to violence and bloodshed in the as sertion of imaginary rights, and in entail ing such a vast expense upon the tax payers of the Commonwealth. It was not a cry of "bread or blood" from fam ishing lips, or an ebulition of angry pas sions from a sudden outrag-, or provoca tion; it was a deliberate attempt from men without a grievance to wrest from others their lawfully acquired property and to control them in their use and en joyment of it. The existence of such a state of things in a government of law in dicates a weak spot somewhere. It is not in the law itself ; that is sufficient for the preservation of order; all that is seeded is its proper enforcement- To ac complish this it is only necessary that everyone connected with its administra tion hal! do his dutv. This duty is as silenanand ia-perative with a juror ia the box as with the judge upon the bench and I am clad to be able to say. as the result of my experience ia the cru-unai coorts, that I have seldom known a jury ... ... to falter in the performance of a duty, when that duty has beenclearly and fir ly presented to thei. If jurors fail in this respect, the courts can accomplish nothing, and the result is anarchy. PTBUC OriSIOX Dl-SEAAtD. It is much to be feared that there is a diseased state of public opinion growing up with regardjo.disturbanccs cf thia na tare, and that a confused, if not erro neous, view of the lav bearing upon these questions has found lodgment in the pub lic mind. This is evidenced by thecom ments of a portion of the press and in tee utterance of demagogues who pander to the mob and the politicians who hunger for votes. It finds expression in sympa thy for men who, without a recognized grievance, trample upon the law and the riahts of others, and yet have no sympa thy for the outx-ifed law, or the laborer who is beaten and sometimes murdered, in his effort to seek honest employment for the support of Lis family. The growth of this sentiment may have been promoted to some extent by the addition of large numbers cf foreigners to our la boring population. Many of them are densely ignorant, as well as brutal in their dispositions. They have false ideas in regard to the kind of liberty we enjoy in this country. It is needed that all such persons should I taught the lesson that our liberty is the liberty of law and not the liberty of license. Tue present occasion requires me to de fine the law. I will endeavor to do it so clearly and fully that there shall be hereafter no excuse for misunderstand ing it. To some extent it has ben al ready foreshadowed. THE LAW DEFINED. When thecompany shutdown its works and discharged its men it was acting strictly within the line of the law; it could not compel the men to work, nor could the men compel the company to employ them ; no arrangement could be made in this regard except in the nature of a contract agreed upon by the parties. Upon this subject their rights were mu tuaL The company Lad the undoubted right to protect its property ; for the pur pose it could lawfully employ as ma.ny men as it saw projer, and arm them. If necessary. Many of our banks and osier places of business, are gaardel by armed watchmen. The law did not require it to employ as watchmen the men from whom it anticipated the destruction of its works. When a man seeks to protect his house from Lurglars it would be un reasonable to jeqaire him to place the burglars in possession for that purpose; so as long as the men employed by the company as watchmen, to guard and pro tect its property, acted only in that ca pacity, and for that purpose, it mattered not to the rioters, nor to the public who they were, r.or from whence they came. It was an act of unlawful violence to pre vent their landing upon the property of the company. That unlawful violence amounted to at least a tict upon tue part of all concerned in it ; if life was taken in pursuance of a purpose to iei-t the landing of the men by violence, the offense was murder, and perhaps treason. I will speak of treason later on. The rights of the men, as before stated, were to refuse to work unless their terms were acceded to, and to persuade others to join them iu such refusal, but it will sustain them no farther. The moment tbey attempted to control the works and to prevent by violence, or threats of vio lence, other laborers from gicg to work there, they placed themselves outside the pale of the law and became rioters". It cannot be tolerated for a moment that one laborer slill say to another laborer, '-yoa shall not work for this man for that wage without my consent,'' and then en force such command by brutal violence upon Lis person ; and what will untie permittel to one man to da will not be permitted to an organization of men. THE PITY 07 THE STATE. It is the duty of the State to protect every citizes within her borders; ia this there is no distinction between the laborer and the capitalists; it protects each with eiu.l impartiality ; when the State fai's to do this, it fails ia its duty as sover eign ; and it will protect wilh a firm hand the individual laborer from the tyranny and unlawful demands of organized labor. The law she-Id be so enforced from the Delaware to the Ohio that the humblest laborer can work for whom he pleases and at what wage he sees fit, un deterred ty the bludgeon of the rioter or the pistol ol the assassin. If we were to concede the agrarian doctrine that the employe nay lawfully dktate to his employer the terms of his employment, and upon the efusal of the Litter to accede to them, take possession I of his property and drive others away who are mi. ling to wo.-, we wou.a Lave anarchy. business could be conduct ed apen such a principle, the doctrine, when once countenanced, will be extend ed to every industry. Some of you gen tlemen of the Grand Jury may be farm ers; I am one myself, and take an honest pride in it. Suppose when your crops are e nthered. your men wither without ca2e refuse to work, and not onlv refue to work, but also take posses sion of your farm and by violence and threats prevent all ethers from doing so, unless you accede to the demands which you regard as un raasonabl? ; in the meantime your crops perish and you lose the fruits cf you. vear'a toil. Under such circumstances you would not like to be told from this bench thAt you have no right to protect your property, or to employ men as wa'xhmen for that purpose. There is no such law. TIIE OFFENSE OF T1EASOS. j I have made these preliminary re ccarks in order that yoa may the better nnderstand the offence of treason, to which I now come. It is defined by the first section of the act cf March 21, P. L. :S3, as follows : "If any person owing allegiance to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall levy war against the aame, or shall ad here to the enemies thereof, giving them and comfort within the State or else where, an J shall be thereof convicted on confession in op?n court, or on the testi mony of two witnesses to the same overt act of the treason whereof he shall stand indicted, such person ahai', on conviction be adjudged guilty of treason against the Common wealth and be sentenced to lay a fine not exceeding f 2,fX and undergo an imprisonment by separate and 1 ry coufinement at labor not exceeding 12 years. I am glad to be able to aay that the Hera law-abiding character of our people has been such that heretofore no one has been prosemted nnder this act since its passage in 1 SCO. It is also proper to say, so far as this State is concerned, that this prosecution has not been commenced from any vindictive feeling, or from aay disposition to multiply offence, or to in flict any unnecessarily severe punish ments. Ia object is to merely vindicate the law. It is only the maximum pun ishment that is fixed by the statute ; the Court pseseoses the power to fix it at aay point within it. You will also observe that the offence charged is treason against this State, and not against the United States; it is a matter with which the tatter hare nothing to do, and over which its courts Lave no jurisdiction.

"5 cation of its sudden paseion does not commit treason, although it destroys property and takes human life. But when a large number of men arm an organize themselves by divisions and companies, appoint ottieers and engage ia a common purpose to defy the Law. to resists ita crhcera, and to de prive any portion of their frliow-citizens of the rights to whkh they are entitled under the Constitution and Laws, it is a levying of war against the State and the offence is treason; much more so when the Junctions cf the State Government are usurped in a particular locality, the pro -ess of the Commonwealth, and the lawful acts of its officers resisted and un lawful arrests made at the dictation of a body of men who have assumed the func tions of the Government in the locality ; and it is a state cf war when a business plant has to I surrounded by the army of the State for weeks to protect it from unlawful violence at the Lands of men formly employed in it. Where a body of men have organized for a treasonable purpose every step which any one of them takes in part exe cution of their common pcrpose is aa overt act of treason in levying war. Every member of such usurped govern ment, whether it be an advisory com mittee or by whatever named called, who has participated in such usurpation, who has joined in a common purpose of resist ance of the law and the denial of the rights of other citizens, has committed treason against the State. While the graveness of this offence is the design of overturcirg the government of the State, such intention need not extend to every portion tf its ttrriu.ry. It is sufficient if it be to overturn it in a particular locality, and such intent cay be inferred from the aits committed. If they be such that the authority ol a State is over turned in a particular locality, and a usurped authority substituted in its place, the parties doing so must be presumed to have intended to do what they have act ually dene. th: risrrnoN or the law. It is a maxim of the criminal law that a man must be presumed to have intend ed that which is the natural and proba ble consequence of thisa.-t. Thus, if a man assaults another with a deadly weapon, and alms a blow at a vital part, the law presumes he intended to take domkiled within the State, aad who enjoy ita protection, owe temporary allegiance to it and are amenable for trea son. There are no accessories ia tre.i -a, all are principals.

We bve reached a point ia the history of the Sttte where there are but two roads left to us to pursue ; the one leads to order and good government, the other leads to anarchy. The one great ques tion which now cenfronts the people of this country is the enforcement of the law and the preservation of order. Pleasant Idle Moments.

Once, lorg asrs when the world was young, and men turned to the gods for the gift they craved once, so the story goes, there Lived a man and woman bound to each other by an exceeding great love. Neither minietered cnlo the other, for the light and beauty each bore within filled them with sach glury and strength that their days were aa unfold ing, nor needed succor from outside things. But so great was their love, so the legend runs, that as time went cn they foil within them the turob of a great desire to be yet more each unto the other than they had been. tor joy consume-) os," cried they. "We must work or we perish. Give as, ye gods that thing to do for the other w h kh neitber can do for himself. Give us to do what the gods Lave done, and so may k e find its perfect way." Long the God's pondered. "Naught have we withheld," spake they,"saveone gilt only. Shall Care dwell among men, and they be even as weT Then care her self spoke: "IVtai a me not, oh, mighty ones ; there is much for the men of earth to know that is hidden from them till 1 go.' Then the oldest god remembered w hat in heaven Lad been forgot ; and he rose and took the hand of care and led her downward to the earth. A&d the man and woman looking at her say a beauteous maiden, full of glee, and her eyes were as if you looked at the stars at night over par-ens fall of perfume. And they shone with a light of greAt gladness. And the faces of the man and woman lit up with an overwhelming joy. Then the oldest of the gods, so says the legcd, stood majestic and held Lis hand aloft. "Children of the earth, unto you is given the divinest of our gifts, a being formed out of love that seeks no end of its ow n. You may make of her what yoa wilL Love most your own "Bit the man and woman w ere lost w i:h joyous Care among the ffowers; nor heeded longer the voice cf the oldest g i. A tier many days, so the legend runs, when men multiplied, and each man's need Lai gruwn greater to him than that of any other, and each man's power the greaWst end worth striving for, then it was that some uan stopped aad looked at Care, and locking, turned away and ran. For Care had grow gaunt eyed aal hideous, and clutched at hiai with loug and bony fingers. And a woman, too, in those days, stopped and loc ked at Care, and cried out ia shuddering sobs. And one tried to drown her in the cup, and the other weekly bore her to her grave. Then the oldest of the gods trembled for the children cf earth, seeing how a g .1 had well thru destroyed them. Bat there were those, even ia those ! days, so the story runs, to w hoia Care was beauteous as of old- They were those with whom Love had not died, to whom life meants help for others, and opptrtu nity for service was counted blessed. And these walked hand in hand with Care rejoicing, and they looked into her f.ee wilh thanksgiving, and saw that it glow ed with a 'light cf a great glory within, an 1 that about her feet shone the ra.li- j ancs cf perfect peace. And the oldest of j the gods walking among thtse was gUJ, j and unto the children of earth 6pakd j oace agiin : -lake the hand of Care aad j be thankful. Lock itto her fai-e, and j she is a handmaid from heaven. Stiua her. and she is aa oTfa haait.r.2 ail your days." And the oldest of the gods departed ; from this eartti, nor was seen aain i among men. And so ths legend end. j But Care still walks abroad, and will j walk, mea say, till ail rutn Live t'.eir I duty and the'r fellow men, and so love j her ; t.ll men know her as a great privi- j le-e ; an I not as their own favored ere- j tioa, sta k:ig Lrngry-eyed aixiccg their i posees-ions.
