At Pittsburg, "Jack" Clifford wns acquit

Connors during the Homestead riot. His
trial was long and interesting.
Judge Ptowe in his charge. to the jury

"The defendant is chnrped with ttirun

leirnl eMcuse or lustitlcation. In the trial of
the cave we linvu nulling to do with the
riehts of labor or capital. o one can pre
tend that the mill owners had not a perfect
light to discharge the men in tlieir mploy.
till the one hand, nor cull it be questioned
that the men working in the null hail a
rignt to refuse to work if they pleased. When
the owners of the mill saw tit to emidov

do so, nil neither striker nor anyone else
hud a right to prevent it. Or, if they thought
It neeessiirv tn einrtlnv nersons from what

from the unlawful Interference with tlieir
tiroperty or to protect the men who nilgnt
he einplnved from the unlawful inieiler
ference of their former employes, they bad
a perfect light So to do.
If, however, in doing so, or in attempting
to enter the mill for such purpose they used
snv unlawful amount of force or violence
they are just as liable for their violation of
tne law ns one oi loose wno uniawiuiiy un
dertook to prevent them in doing that which
tney bad a rigni to uo. nut tne inegai vio
lence of the one party can not operuie as a

acta of the so called Pinkerton men were
unlawful in whet they did in attempting to
enter the mill they must be held to answer
for that when their time comes. Hut if there
was an unlawful attempt to prevent them In
doinir what was lawful on tlieir part bv a
body of men gathered together with arms or
bludgeons, or by threat of violence, as
claimed bv the commonwealth, and inlurv
done or lite taken, it makes no difference so
far as the case on trial ia concerned, that the
Pinkerlnns in their residence to such at

The Burning of the Negro at Faria (Call
Out a strong Message, Calling . for
Preventive of Mob Violence.
A message concerning the burning of the
negro Smith at Pari has been prepared by
Goverhor Hogg for submission to the Texas
Legislature, in which he says:
The crime committed at Paris Is a dis
grace to this 8iate, its atrocity, inliumanitv
and sickening effect on the people at large
cannot be obscured by reference to the pre
vious act of the culprit himself in brutally
taking the lite of au innocent child. The
imputation that he could not have beer,
legally executed in any court in this State
is a slander upon the integrity of every citi.
sen. To contend thut his executioners who
purposely murdered him. can neither be in
dicted nor tried in the county where that
crime was committed, is a pretence and a
mockery.
There is no higher obligation resting on
the legislative department than to have
the constitutional guarantee for protection,
lite, liberty and properly lespected and
obeyed. If taxation becomes necessary to
raise funds by which this may be done,! ad
vise your honorable bodies to lay it on and
make the people pav it to the full extent
necessary.
