SERIOUS TROUBLE IN CHICAGO.
Chicago hat been a hot-bed of riot
and turmoil during the paet week,
and there is no telling what day
may bring forth in the way of arson,
bloodshed and lawlessness. The up
rising of labor organizations in that
city grows out of the Pullman boy
colt, which was declared more than
two weeks ago, and the troubles have
been spreading and multiplying al
most hourly until even Governor Alt
geld, the chief disturber and anar
chistic sympathizer, has been obliged
to call out the malitia to stop the
wonton destruction of property, or at
least make a show toward checking
the lawlessness. The situation had
become so grave that the Federal au
thorities were obliged to interfere,
and Government troops have been on
the scene since Friday to protect tbe
property of the United States, and
prohibit interference with the mails.
On Sunday night President Cleveland
issued a proclamation warning all
citizens of Chicago to vacate the rail
road yards and other places of disor
der by the following noon or take the
consequences. This. manifesto from
the President has had a startling ef
fect upon the people of the country
in general, who could hardly realize
that the situation had reached such
gravity as to necessitate tbe placing
of the State of Illinois, and especially
tbe city of Chicago, under what al
most amounts to martial law. But
such is the case nevertheless. And
so the question may well be asked,
Where will it all end?
Tbe firing of the malitia into the
mob and tbe killing and woundiog of
more than a score of rioters, as was
done on Saturday last, is a matter of
do ordinary concern, and means that
a halt must soon be called if there
shall be do more serious ending.
In this extreme tbe American peo
ple very generally commend tbe
President in his course. No true cit
izen of tbe United States will uphold
the trampling of our laws under foot.
Tbe law must be upheld or the Gov
ernment must fall.
It is a significant fact tbat the
Democratic Stale Convention of Illi
nois, which met about ten days ago,
just about tbe time the preteut strike
was beginning, indorsed Governor
Altgeld in the most emphatic terms.
Tbe plank containing this indorse
ment is as follows: "We heartily
commend tbe fearless integrity and
sturdy determination which have
characterized tbe administration of
Altgeld, and through which most im
portaot reforms have been achieved
u an oraocnes 01 me public service
of the State, civil and military."
lhe convention knew that a great
strike was impending and tbat the
disturbed condition of the working
men s mind was due largely to the
course of Governor Altgeld and bis
well-known sympathy with socialism
ado yet with these tacts known to it
the Illi oois Democrrlio convention
decided to add still further to tbe
social unrest by declaring its hearty
support of Altgeld in all that he had
done. No more significant indication
of the drift of sentiment in the Dem
ocratic party has been given than
this. Phila. Press.
The recent Democratic State coo
vention held in Harrisburg ratified
the ticket selected by Mr. Harrity,
as follows: Governor, Wm. M. Ga
gerly of Philadelphia; Lieut. Gov
ernor, John S. Rilling, Erie; Audi
ur ueueni, uavia r. xuagee, jjaa
caster; Secretary of Internal Affairs,
Waller W. Greenland, Clarion ; Con
gress at-Large, Hannibal K. Sloan
Indiaua, and J. C. Bucher, of Union
county. Tbe latter gentleman has
declined the nomination. Mr. Bin
gerly is the editor of the Philadel
nia Jiecord, and one of the most
pronounced free traders on this side
of the Atlantic
THE WAGES OF RIOT.
The inevitable result of the de
fiance of law an tbe riot aud arson of
tbe Chicago mob was reachtd yester
day in the conflicts by which an un
known numbet of the rioters were
killed and wounded. It is inexpress
ibly deplorable that workingmen
should be sn misled by demagogy
and so swayed by evil passions that
tbey cannot be restrained except by
bloodshed. But the accounts of the
conflicts make it clear that the riot
ers not only invited this severe lesson,
but absolutely compelled it by their
attacks on the troops and officers of
the law.
' Tbe patience and forbearance of
the troops under tbe provocations of
fered by an ugly, threatening mob
were admirable. Jeers, taunts aod
insults were unheeded. Attempts to
destroy property in the face of the
troops were met by simple efforts to
drive the rioters away from the pro
perty. Finally the disorderly ele
ment, mistaking this forbearance for
fear actually attacked tbe troops with
stones and revolvers. Not only to
maintain the authority "of the State,
but in mere self-preservation, tbe mil
itary were forced to exert the offen
sive power that they had held in re
serve. A short, sharp aud decisive
battle put tho rioters to flight. The
power that tbe State can command to
roantain its integrity was fully dem
onstrated. It is terrible tbat such
severity roust be resorted to, but
when persistent, defiant and criminal
disorder has demonstrated that noth
ing less will restore order tbe only
possible course is to resort to such
means and to make the lesson sharp
and decisive.
Another short skirmish between
tbe mob aud a company of regulars
resulted in dispersing tbe mob by a
bayouet charge without loss of life.
Both collisions show that when the
full strength of the State or Govern
ment is exerted tbe forces of disorder
promptly disappear before it. Tbe
exertion of this power baa been with
held duriDg days of riot and arson in
the hope that reason might prevail
But it has been proved that mobs are
deaf to reason aod yield only to the
argument of cold lead. With that
fact demonstrated, there should be
no hesitency in dealing with riot.
Wherever that enemy of lawful gov
eminent shows its head it should be
suppressed with tbe sternest prompti
lude by the measures which proved
effective yesterday. Tbe rioters have
made it clear that nothing le6s will
secure order, and whatever they may
suffer from it they have brought up
on themselves. Tbe men who resort
to force against the law can only be
dealt with by the force tbat the law
has at its command.
Tho most active measures should
be continued to suppress further dis
order. At whatever cost roav be
r
necessary law must be re-established
and peace restored in Chicago.

Reflections of Camp Life at Punx'y.
On Friday, June 22, 1SW, the Sixteenth
Regiment arrived at Punxsutawney,
Jeuerson county, and were marched to
the scene of rioting at Walston. Knap
sacks were unalung and loaded on wag
ons making tbe three miles march com'
paratively easy for the troops. On arriv
ing at the mines, not an insurgent Italian
could be found. The day was spent on
the hillside overlooking the mines and
tasle of the hardships of military life
watt experienced, as the sun beat down
on the unsheltered lines in all its iuten
aity. At about four o'clock, Colonel W.
J. Hulings detailed Lieutenant D. F. A.
Wheeloek of Warren, to lay out a camp.
After some delay tbe construction was
begun and in remarkably short order
tbe camp, named for the late Major W. 8.
Horton, overlooked the small mining
town of Walston. Tiie hungry soldiers
in looking for a place to lunch were con
fronted by tbe following sign on a small
building: "Fortuna Alutami Invidia
Invidia Crepa. Ouiseppl FarrI Bancbiere
E Cambia Valuta Spedisce Denaro in
tutti Gli Office Post. All D'ltalia Big
liette Dl Passaggis." which, after inves
tigation, was found to be a grocer's sign.
Tbe proprietor of the store was found to
be a villianous looking Dago, who ran,
in connection with bis grocery business,
a Post Office and General Intelligence
Bureau.
The Sheridan troop from Tyrone, Pa.,
under command of Captain Jones, con
sisting of some fifty-six men, occupied a
position somewhat above the Infantry,
and are certainly a fine body. Their
horses and equipments being of the best.
Camp life was uneventfuljexceptlng tbe
brisk drills and heavy guard duty, each
guard bad orders to halt every one cross
ing the guard-line, and if not obeyed to
fire. All carried loaded pieces. The ob
ject being more to keep tbe boys in camp
than to prevent invasion. Happily these
orders were changed last Friday; the
reason was probably due to an accident
which occurred tbe previous night. Ma
jor Ray on returning to camp late, was
baited by a guard aud when advancing
to give the countersign a gun was dis
charged in the guard house near by,
The Major supposed he had been shot at
uy me guara ana called for tbe same to
be arrested. The guard knew his duty
and held tbe Major at a charge bayonet
hij iu proper oineer arrrived when an
explanation made matters right.
On Mouduy, June tba Pinkerton
Detectives, or aliened Coal ami I ron
Police, on guard over the mines near the
tipple of mine Mo. 2. were Kiim kA.1 i,v
Italian women, the men taking no part
Ali" cuuer uieir excueu partners In
life to greater effort. The militia was or
dered to tbe rescue. Colonel Hulings
found Hie rinkert ns pale anil flunking,
and must soon have been overcome by
the hardy miners' wives. A rock thrown
by a grey haired daughter of Italy raino
so close to the Colonel's head that he or
dered Co. I, of Warren, to charge tho
mob. The boys made short work of this
Cart. The cowardly miners who had
ept their dislanee could now only be
traced by the dustenused bv their retreat,
while tholr wives and daughters fell back
without resistenee and dispersed. Dur
ing the first few davs In camp, three can
nons were captured by tho guards. They
consisted of railroad ties bored out and
three Inch casing driven in the holes.
They were loaded with powder and rail
road spikes; one had been fired and had
blawn up; It bad been aimed at a stump
and demoralised that mark frightfully.
Reports that the strike was settled
reached camp almost hourly, but the
Hamcstead veterans took no stock in
this talk. Friday night orders were civ-
en to reduce the companies to thirty men,
and Saturday morning the miners' were
ready 10 go 10 worn, a Kcttlcment having
leen made, and the scale beinn raised to
forty cents per car. also srivinir tho min
ers credit for dead work (slato and re
fuse taken from the mine). Thia raise is
certainly deserved by the minors. Most
of the boys bad a chance to visit the
mines. The writer enjoyed a tiip in
mine No. 2. unins into tho slope for a
distance of two miles, visiting the
pumps which keep the mines clear of
water, and dodging through so many
asssges and chambers, that one could
tit real ire. had the Ktiide been less ex
perienced, the party must have been
ost; as it was he seemed PUT.r.led and
several times had to retrace his steps,
but soon found the riirht nassnm. The
ruin regimont is encamped about three
miles from Camp 11 or ton and little
could be learned by tho writer of them.
Their parade ground is visible, however,
and judging from the soldiors nearly al
ways to be seen on it. oue mlcrht think
the officers were giving it to tho boys
pretty warm. Sunday, Julv 1, orde'rs
were received to break camp. Monday
morning, Colonel Hulings addressed the
boys at Dress Parade, thanking them for
their obedience to orders, the guard hav
ing been reduced to two men since Fri
day and no ono had been absent from
roll call ; "a thing," Col. II. went on to
say, "that had never happened liefore in
the history of the militia." A letter from
Governor t'attison was also read which
thanked the Sixceenth Reeiment for
their good behavior, etc At about 1 1 a.
m., Monday. July 2, all were on their
way borne, the long march to Punxsu-
tawney being avoided by procuring cars
at Walston.
A report circulated by some of the of
ficers that the miners abandoned work
as soon as the militia left, is probably
