DEATH TO PINKERTONS.
EXTERMINATION THE ONLY WAY TO
ABOLISH THEM.
The gun Francisco "Star's" Radical
Utterances on the Homestead Lockout
—Calls the Thugs and Their Employers
Cold-ltloodcd Assassins.
We have always advocated the correc
tion of abuses, the redress of wrongs, by
peaceable means. But the locked-out
employes of the Homestead works em
ployed the only weapons at their com
mand—gunpowder and dynamite—
which they used with deadly effect.
They did right. Our only regret is that
they did not blow up the barge with
Tinkerton's three hundred hired asas
sins, instead of giving them quarter. A
creature so base as to hire himself out
to shoot down starving men who are re
sisting oppression should be shown no
more mercy than a rattlesnake.
In no other civilized country in the
world would a private army of licensed
asassins be tolerated. For years back,
whenever labor and capital have dis
agreed, these hated mercenary Hessians
have been called in by capital to force
labor into submission at the point of the
bayonet. In the present conflict at
Homestead, the boast of these cowardly
ruffians was that they would "mow the
strikers down like grass." That they
did not do so was because their bullets
were answered by more bullets. But
their piteous appeal for their miserable
lives was answered by mercy. Mercy is
a gem most brilliant, but in this case it
was misbestowed. Had they all to a
man been wiped of the face of the earth, !
the world would have been given an !
"object lesson" which, however awful
to contemplate, would have resulted in j
great good.
Hut we are told that it is the system
under which we live that is responsible;
that these Pinkertonians are themselves
victims of that system; that, therefore,
they should be spared, but the system
should be abolished. We admit that,
under just conditions —the opening up
of natural resources to the people—such
nn army as Pinkcrton's could not exist;
enough men could not be found to enlist
in such work; and if they could, the plu
tocrat would be gone and their services
would not be in demand. But you
might as well urge that, if a footpad
stands before you with cocked revolver
in hand, you should say: "Go on, my
friend; shoot off my head; you are
not to blame; it is the system; when we
change that, then you'll be changed."
Are Pinkerton's toughs as good as ordin
ary footpads? Do they not hire them
selves out to murder peaceable men who
object to having their homes desolated
and the bread taken from their wives
and helpless children? What rights
have they, then, that any human being
is bound to respect? They should be ex
terminated—by law or without law.
But what of the men who employ
them? What of Carnegie and Frick?
They should be put to death by slow
torture, as they are endeavoring to put
so many thousands. What fate can be
worse than that of toiling, toiling, from
early morn till night, sick at heart, weak
in body, without one ray of hope; to go
"home exhausted, wiien your day's
work is done, and see your children with
outstretched arms piteously pleading for
bread you cannot give; to see a weeping
wife and mother trying to console them
and give then cheer she cannot feel; to
lay your weary head upon the floor, not to
sleep, but to dream of starving children,
another reduction in your wages, of more
hunger, of eviction from your home, of
yourself and family being outcasts on
the streets—dying of starvation in the
midst of plenty!
'i hat is the fate we would mete out to
Carnegie and Frick—the same death by
slow torture" that their thousands of
employes would suffer if they did not
rebel.
3 his "war" at the Homestead works
is not to he regretted, save for the wid
ows and orphans it lias made. The
blood of the slain is upon the hands of
Andrew Carnegie and Frick. Legally
they may not he, hut morally, before
God and man, they are they are mur
derers.
The reason this "war" is not to he re
gretted is that it has illustrated to the
people, better than anything else could,
the "beauties of protection." It lias
shown that in an industry protected by
''"ties ranging from -10 to 150 per cent,
the manufacturers reap all the benefit;
that the wages of labor, instead of being
raised, as was promised, have been
thrice reduced, until they are now below
the starvation point. Hut Carnegie is a
lifty-millionaire, who endows colleges,
churches, libraries and hospitals on the
money lie has saved from his "hard
earnings," by his frugality and "protec
tion to American labor."— Sun Fruncisco

A Monitor fltructure.
I spoof a long time In wandering about
the Manufactures building. It Is the
biggest building ever planned, and it
will have one roof covering thirty acres.
Senator Ingalls came out and looked at
it the other day, and as he gazed, as
tounded at its immensity, he said: "It is
an exhalation 1 Yesterday it was not,
today It is and tomorrow it will have
passed away. I can see how you can
fence it In, but to roof it almost sur
passes human conception!" Think of
putting a massive glass and iron roof
over a thirty acre field! That is what
the men are doing hero today, and I saw
them at work putting up the great iron
trusses which will support this roof.
You cannot conceive the size of this
structure without seeing it. Three hun
dred thousand people could be seated on
the floor and in the galleries and 80,000
could be seated on the floor alone. The
Coliseum at Rome, with all its galleries,
could only seat 87,000 people, and it was
never roofed except with canvas. You
could put four coliseums on that floor,
{ and two pyramids as big as Cheops
i would sit upon It side by side and leave
room for the Capitol at Washington. If
the great pyramid was taken to pieces
and cnrriod here its matorial could be
stored in this building and you could
look down upon its masses of stone from
the galleries.
This building is about a third of a
mile long. Thirty great staircases, so
wide that two carriages could be driven
up them side by side, will load to wide
galleries and there will bo a street fifty
! feet wide running through the center.
; With its galleries it will have forty
acres of floor space, and it tires one even
j to think of its possible contents.—Chi

Electrlo Light on Battlefields.
The übiquity of electricity is becoming
almost proverbial. From the "brightest
spot on earth" to the blood stained battle
fields is rather a far cry, but there is no
end to the application of electricity. A
recent telegram from Austria described
some experiments of great interest
which have recently been carried out
successfully there. The difficulty of
searching for the wounded on the night
after a great battle has been one which
has long occupied the attention of mili
tary reformers, and the army medical
service in Austria has been ondeavorlng
to determine how far the electric light
may be utilized for this humane end.
The value of powerful search lights
with reflectors has lieen proved in naval
affairs, and at Buakim and elsowhere
soldiers have found them very effective
on open ground. They would be equal
ly effective under similar conditions for
assisting in picking up the wounded,
but when the battle has raged over a
wide extent of country, or when tho
fighting has occurred amid woods and
brushwood, the use of this class of light
is attended with difficulty.—Electrical
Review.
A Dog's Political Preferences.
Out at Abilene the man who runs a
transfer wagon and smashes the drum
mers' trunks owns a dog. He is just a
common, old fashioned cur. But the
dog votes, and votes right. His master
every morning upon the arrival of the
Texas and Pacific train gets his dogship
to show off before the crowd. "Do you
vote for Clark?" the canine is asked. He
rises up on his hind feet, his front ones
high in the air, his body perfectly erect
and nods his head. "Do you vote for
Hogg?" the master inquires. The dog
gets down flat upon the floor and buries
his face in his front legs, the very pic
tnre of negation. These daily perform
ances have come to l>e well advertised
in Abilene and always draw a crowd.
Should Judge Clark bo successful that
dog will be installed in state at Austin
next January, and for two years at least
will bo the best fed unimal in Texas.—

A Roiling Hole.
In Noble county, W. Va.,.there is a
fathomless sea, composed of salt water
and oil, from which gas escapes with a
tremendous roar. Twenty years ago a
well was drilled there to the depth of
1,900 feet. Some years later water and
gas escaped from tho hole with great
pressure, tearing out tho tubing and cut
ting a cavern apparently hundreds of
feet deep and forty feet in diameter.
After it ceased to flow a farmer filled it
up and built a barn over it, and again a
few days ago a terrific report announced
another explosion of the well, oil and
water pouring out in abundance. In a
singlo day the hole became fathomless
and about forty feet wide.—Chicago
Herald.
An Animal Trump.
Mark Twain made the coyote famous
—or notorious, if you please. In ' 'Rough
ing It" tho poor animal is described as
the sneak thief of the plains, a tramp
of the desert. Whether he is as bad as
he is painted or not, the California leg
islature has put a price on his head. As
a result within the six months just
passed 90,299 of these lank animals have
been killed in the Golden State at a cost
to the government of $101,995. —Kansas

Only a woman, forsaken and poor.

Bwlngeth wide open tho bronze church door.
Only a woman, walling alone.
Icily cold on an Ice cold stone.
What do they care for her,
Mumbling a prayer for hor—
Giving not bread, but a stone?
Under rich luces their haughty hearts boat,
Mocking the woes of their kin in the street.
Only a woman! In tho old days
Hope sort iled to her the happiest lays.
Somebody missed her.
Somebody crowned her with praise.
Somebody faced out the battle of life,
Strong for hor sake who was mother and wife.
Somebody lies with a tress of her hair
Light on his heart whero tho death shadowe
are;
Somebody waits for her,
Ooening the gates for her.
Giving delight for despair.
Only a woman—nevermore!
She is dead in snow at the bronze church door

Passive Resistance.
One of the most novel methods ever at
tempted of conduoting a strike was that
Inaugurated by the telegraphers in Spain.
All tho details of thq. affair were excel
lently arranged longTjeforehand, so that
there should be no hitch. The govern
ment wore taken completely by surprise.
Suddenly they found all communication
by wire stopped, though the telegraphic
system was apparently in good working
order. The operators did not leave their
posts, but when asked to send messages
they signalod as usual and informed the
officials that there was no response to
their calls for the distant officos. This
sort of passive resistance puzzled the of
ficials.
The home secretary in Madrid and
the governors of the various provinces
entered the offices escorted by the gen
darmes, and ordered the operators to
establish communication in their pres
ence. Tho operators replied respectfully,
after calling the offices as commanded,
that they received no answer and there
fore could not send the messages offered.
It seems that it was part of tho plan
of the men, arranged beforehand, that
no operator should answor when his of
fice was called for on the wires.
Tho first dispatches which tho govern
ment was able to send to the provincial |
governors were put through by the j
courtesy of the railway officials over the |
wires generally devoted to train orders.
The railway operators were in sympathy
with the strikers and would not handle
the government's messages, but some
of the railway officials who are prac
tical telegraphers themselves manned
the wires and transmitted the messages. !
The operators struck because their
appeals for tho redross of a number of
long standing grievances were disre
garded. The immediate cause was tho
appointment of a postal officer of only
three years' service to the office of di- '
roctorof the central office in Madrid
over the heads of officers of thirty years' j
service.
Just Like Most Labor Laws.
Once again has the alien labor law \
been demonstrated a farce. No em- j
ployer of labor need have the least fear
of conviction under the law providing he
uses tho slightest judgment in engaging
his help in foroign lauds. In tlifc case
tried in the United States circuit court
hero yesterday it was distinctly shown j
that an agent for the defendant had bar- J
gained for labor in Toronto, but simply |
because the contracts were not signed I
until after the mechanics had reached j
Michigan the court took tho case from
the jury and ordered a verdict for the
defendant.
It is not the least surprising therefore |
that the ability of tho federal authorl- j
ties to frame a law that cannot be !
evaded is frequently questioned. The I
same law provides that no enconrago-1
ment shall be offered to foreign labor to
seek employment in the United States
through advertisements printed in a
foreign paper, yet this is just what the
same defendant did and for which the |
corporation is now being tried a second j
time. The chances are however that I
the case, like its predecessors, will be >
thrown out on some technicality, de- .
spite the direct convicting evidence.—

Labor's Demands "Nonsense."

CMnftltlu for Six Montbo.
Sinoo Jan. 1 there have been fonr de
structive windstorms, killing nearly 800
persons, viz., April 1, Missouri and Kan
sas, 75; May 16, Texas, 15; May 87, Wel
lington, Kan., 58; Juno 10, southern
Minnesota, 50. In the same period there
have been four great floods, viz., April
11, Tombigbee river, 850; May 18, Sioux
City, la,, 85; May 20, lower Mississippi,
86; Juno 5, fire and flood, Oil Creek, Pa.,
100. There also have been four mining
disasters, viz., Jan. 7, McAllister, I. T.,
65; April 80, Minersvillo, Pa., 12; May
10, Roslyn, Wash., 44; May 14, Butte,
Mon., 11. Three fires have been un
usually disastrous to life, viz., Jon. 21,
Indianapolis Surgical institute, 10; Feb.
7, Hotel Royal, New York, 80; April 28,
theater, Philadelphia, 12.
Besides these there were on March 21
an explosion at Jordan, Mich., by which
10 lives were lost; June 18, the explo
sion at the Mare Island navy yard,
which killed 18, and June 15, the fall
of tho bridge over Licking river, by
which 82 lives were sacrificed. These
are the principal disasters of the year
thus far, and they involve an aggregate
of 960 lives. Adding to this total the
sum of losses by minor accidents we
have the following sad and unusual
record: By fire, 870; by drowning, 1,864;
by explosions, 818; by failing struc
tures of various kinds, 207; by mine dis
asters, 808; by windstorms, 840, and by
lightning, 120. Grant? total, 8,588.
The total loss of life by these causes
during the whole of last year—and 1891
was one of the most destructive years
on record—was 5,762. —Chicago Tribune.
A N lnoyear-ul<l Hero.
In a ward of one of the city hospitals
lies a little boy who is slowly recovering
from a surgical operation. He is only
nine years old. A wagon wheel rolled
over him about three weeks ago. and
then the surgeons amputated one little
leg. But the owner is a bravo chap and
patient, and Ills bravery has won for
him a passport into the heart of every
attendant who has seen him. He has
been very groatly interested in the in
valid's shoe the good nurse has been
knitting for him out of bright worsted.
She finished the shoe lust week, and he
asked to keep it by his pillow where he
could see it. He gazed at the bright bit
of footgear with infinite satisfaction,
and then asked:
"When are you going to make the
other one?"
"Tho other one, dear? What otlioi
one?"
He glanced down at tho one foot with
out a mate.
"Yes—l—know. I—don't—need—but
—just—only—one, do I?"
Then there came a half smothered sob,
the brave little face turned toward the
wall and not even tho nurse saw the
big round tear that rolled down to the
pillow. The sorrow of a man had come
to the nine-year-old boy.—New York
Recorder.
Counterfeit Fives Alluttt.
Business men in East Baltimore are
agitated over counterfeit five dollar
notes. Nearly every day one or more
of these notes turn up at the bank count
ers. The notes are imitations of treas
ury notes of the series of 1880. Tho pa
per is of a poor quality and lighter in
color than tho genuine note. Especially
noticeable is tho poor engraving. It
seems to be the work of an amateur or
of a very nervous person. The picture
of Jackson looks like the impression of
a wood cut. But oue feature is any
where near perfection, and that is the
signatures of Registrar Rosecrans and
Treasurer Huston. These are excel
lently counterfeited and would baffle
any one but an expert. Bank officials
think a number of these counterfeits
have been put into circulation within
tho past week or two in that section of
the city, and but few havo yet gotten
out of that vicinity.—Baltimore Amer

A 13<1 Year for Ilailroud Building.
From the returns now received at this
office, collected with unusual care and
thoroughness, we find that during the
six months from Jan. 1 to July 1 there
have been laid in the United States
1,868 miles of new main track on 115
lines in thirty-five of the states and
territories. Last year at this time we
found that 1,728 miles of track had beon
laid, so that it would appear that there
has thus far been a falling off of over 25
per cent, compared with the same
period of 1891. But a review of the
work in progress throughout the coun
try does not warrant tho belief that the
falling off for tho entire year will be in
any such proportion. Last year showed
the smallest aggregate of track laying,
4,200 miles, that has been reported in
this country since 1885.—Chicago Rail

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
The Richest Baby in the World.
Very few babies are born, like little
William Vincent Astor, whose portrait
is here given with his mother, to the
necessity of having to take care of $150,-
000,000, or a few dollars more pf less.
There is no actual proof that he is not
the richest baby in tho world. Bo that
THE ASTOK BABY,
tho 15th of November, 1891, tho day upon
which he was born, is indolibly marked
in the momory of all tho fashionable
world of New York. The birth of this
infant was thought to be of sufficient im
portance to telegraph all over the coun
try. The adveut of the heir to a duke
dom would hardly receive such attention
in England. Socially the Astor family
is the most prominent in Now York and
their children are trained from their
youngest years to the guarding and
multiplying their millions.—Baby.
Cure of the Ears.
Much misdirected energy is expended
by careful people in the effort to keep
clean the innocent orifice of the organ
of hearing.
Serious injury often results to the del
icate mucous membrane lining the canal
of the ears from the pushing of wash
cloths, sponges and the like inside the
delicate canal. Nothing should ever be
pushed inside the canals of the ears.
The cerumen or wax which is normally
found there should not be removed until
it can be washed away with ordinary
washing; this should not include a
doubling or twisting of the end of a
washcloth for the purposo of pushing it
inside the auditory canal.
It is common enough to find those who
use pins, hairpins and other hurd bodies
to remove the normal secretion of the
ear from the canal. A physician is the
only one who should put into tho ear
anything so hard as possibly to injure
its delicate structure. If there is any
thing abnormal about the quantity or
quality of the natural secretion a physi
cian should be consulted and his advice
followed.
No one should attempt himself to treat
any supposed or real case of impacted or
hardened cerumen. Efforts in this di
rection have boen extremely harmful to
the tympanum and delicate bones of the
ears. Such attempts have also brought
on the dreaded condition—which was
boforo only a supposed one—by massing
tho cerumen at a narrowed point of the
aanal.—Youth's Companion.
A Timely Suggestion for Bright Women.
"I wonder," commented a busy house
keeper recently, "that this age of special
service hus not evolved an occupation of
fruit preserving by the day. There are
plenty of womon who will put up your
fruit for yon at their own places, furnish
ing everything, but tho rates are very
high, and tho fruit sold at tho women's
exchanges is of superior quality and su
perior price too. I have a family of
growing boys, and I like to provide
plenty of simply prepared preserved
fruits and jellies for the enormous
'sweot tooth' which their triplo capaci
ties evolve; but I havo not the time nor
the strength to do it myself, and I can
not afford to get it from present sources
of supply.
"It seems to me there o , \;'t to bo
womon, housekeepers themselves, who
would bo glad to go into a kitchen for
$2 or $2.50 a day and put up fruit. They
could havo assistance in preparing tho
fruit, and one day would do tho currant
jelly, another can small berries, nnd so
on; but such do not exist, so far as I
know." —Her Point of View in Now

A Doll Suchdt.
The way to make a doll sachet like
this one is to take one small Japanese
doll, a piece of thin silk fivo inches square
tand fivo cents'
worth of sachot
powder. A small
quantity of thin
white muslin and
a yard of narrow
ribbon complete
tho list of articles
required to make
a "doll sachet."
First make tho
waist of the white
muslin and sew
it on, then wrap
the cotton (which
has been sprin
kled with the
powdor) around it from the wuist down
to n trifle below the feet, cover this with
the silk and trim it with tho ribbon as
seen here. Silk of any color can bo used,
as the taste suggests, for the sachet.—

Shopping with llaby.
When mothers go shopping in upper

they get them checked and do their pur

carriage, a boy gives a check for it and
amuses the youngster until tho mother
has flnishod,hor shopping. If it is not
in a carriage, it is amused in tho samo
way inside the store. Tho plan is said
to bo working well for shopkeepers and
mothers, —Exchange.
