that "while thousands mourned over

any "poor working men lie dead in

tive land and refuse to adhere to the

Every strike, every riot,every defiance

eign whelp who can scarsely speak
our language—and who only jabbers
it at all when he is forced to to make
himself understood. American work-
men are loyal, reasonable, honest—not
seeking to loot a living from those
who have accumulated something.
'The Spirits which lead the incendi-
ary riots in Chicago would burn Twain-
ley's house or barn for spite, or for a
chance to loot them. They are law
defiers—plain and simple. For the
government to let such work go on
would mean the quick destruction of
all law, and law is the great ligament
which sustains the republic.
No president ever did an act more
commendable than Cleveland did when
he called out the troops, and General
Miles never gave a more wholesome
order than when he ordered the ragu-
lars to "shoot to kill." Keckless riot-
ers—lawbreakers—can only be stopped
by orders to "shoot to kill." ,Every
loud mouthed yawp who runs around
over this country advising defiance of
law, influencing the passions of men
against this government, should be

heads secret and other organizations
for the propagation of socialism, com-

be stopped instanter by government
orders to "shoot to kill."
Every man in this country who ad-
vises or assists in the overthrow of
law is a traitor—and should have
quick and sure punishment. The man
who aeeks to educate the people to a
higher conception of the ballot, of the
importance of law and good govern-
ment, is a hero, a loyalist, a man. an

COXEYISM IS RUSSIA.
In a paper in The Review of Reviews
W. T. Stead calls attention to the fact
that there is nothing new inCoxeyism.
It is as old as the hills. The only nov*

many others, Russian methods repro-

Old John Suekmax sees a brick
house about to fall on him and other
law makers who have sat stolidly and
allowed the wealth to accumulate in
big piles, and he has woke up long
enough to introduce a resolution Je-
j manding an inquiry as to cost, etc., of
Pullman service, preparatory to a bill
restricting the Pullman robbery.
Pt i.lman has put his leg In a sling.
Among the first bills congress will
pass now will be one cutting his
charges down to SI for twenty-four
hours, and compelling Pullman to pay
his own porters. The robbing of pas-
sengers has gone too far. Just such
an agitation as this seems to have been
necessary to atop it.
Thk Cloud Chief Democrat proposes
Judge T.J. Lowe as the democratic
candidate for congress. It says the
Judge has kept himself free of fac-
tions, is a genial gentleman popular
with all classes, is a good speaker and
a good lawyer. It thinks Judge Lowe
could come nearer than anybody to
knocking the persimmon against

Thk people are aroused. They see
need for progress. A country with a
bounteous output from nature, aud yet
having millions of honest men seeking
work in vain by which to earn bread,
is not running right. There must be
a peacable upheaval, new blood put at
the helm. As Lowell says:

Pullman has treated his men wrong,

their wages to 83.50 and $'.'.75, but
there was no cut in the outrageous
charge of 81V a month on the cottages

people would like to see I'ullman

without impoverishing thousands who
thereby are deprived of the result of

law.
Bishop Biiookk had a splendid ser-
mon, at the Episcopal church, Sunday
on the industrial situation. He said it
was the duty of the men who haye
piled up millions to care for the poor
in times like these—not by charity,
but by furnishing work for them at
fair wages. "Why do they need to
horde when they now have more than
they know how to use? Let them
help the destitute through honest la-
bor in these depressions and thereby
leven the hardness which has gained
for them their useless riches." It was
a pacific, liberal, forcible address, such
as should have gone up from every
pulpit in the land veaterdav.
