It is not altogether surprising that in the prevailing disrupted and unsatis factory conditions of public sentiment there should exist BUNCH or less of un certainty among voters whose political opinions are not securely grounded on well-iN'tiued principles of public policy. Nor is it, indeed, at all wonderful thai in the prevailing uncertainty there should arise a fruitful crop of adventur ers who by hook or crook wish to scram bie into office. The strange circumstance is that Democratic voters— men who under stand at toast the fundamental teach ings of Thomas Jefferson— should per mit themselves to be deceived into acceptance of the foolish isms which are today floating on the surface of political life. We lire all mure or l«J* liable to be deceived by the gloss of glib and specious professions in this life. But when in ordinary every-day affairs men come to us with one or other scheme which does not appeal, to our intelli gence, we are, as a rule, able to show tut' in the door. Why. then, is it that the self-seeking ami extravagant politician, who palpa bly has no mission except to inveigle people into voting him into office, is so bumptious and altogether so promiscu ous these clay»? He merely -seeks to lake men away from their natural polit ical associations. If he does not sue- ceetl in doing this, he succeeds in dome nothing but to make a noise. He has everything to offer, nothing to give; everything to gain, nothing to lose. He is a mere political gnat; hero today, nowhere tomorrow. When the voter enters the polling booth in this city and state on election day he will be confronted by a couple of tickets, e.ich a yard and a half long, more or less. This is the result ot the belief of a lot ot political butterflies that they may by chauco light on a sweet oftit-e. This is all to the detri ment of the Demociaiic party and of Democratic doctrine. If Democratic voters remain true to their convictions, these men will be utterly lost to sight a few weeks hence. If they were as steadfast in their beliefs as they should be, we would have today none of these adventurers amunic US. There is but one remtdy for the evil, and that is for Democrats to remain loyal to themselves aud to their party. This is the remedy that will bring ulti mate relief; that will clear the political skies and once more restore the true faith of ttie founders of the Democracy, and will enable us to enter successfully on the battle which remains duriuic the closing years of this century to be fought uut between capital and labor, between the creatures of monopoly ana special privilege aud their masters, the American people. LKT OUJS J.KKOHj TEACH US. When, after the election in 1892, the Globe urged the calling together of congress as soon as possible after the iuaucuratiou, there were Democrats who regarded the Globe as radical. When, later, it urired the same thing again, in order that congress might speedily take up the work of reducing tariff taxation and redeeming the party pledges, there were still those who thought that the GLOBE was too rad ical. Wheu the Globe said that if con gress met in December the passage of a tariff act would be delayed by the Re publicans until as near the tall elections of lb'Ji as possible, and that its passage would be followed by the shut-down of the mills and factories for political pur poses, there were not wanting those who said that the Globe was visionary as well as radical. But >viien it said tiiat the Wilson bill as reported to the house was not the fulfillment of Demo cratic pledges, and that its policy of making concessions to the protectionists was a mistaken one, there were again not wanting Democrats to say that the Globe was altogether too radical for the party. There are epochs in the lives of par ties, as well &s men, when radicalism means victory, and conservatism defeat. Every soamun knows that there are times when it is necessary to crowd on sail to escape danger, just as there arc when it is necessary to slacken. Pru dence has its place in military opera tions, but the campaign would be a fail ure in which prudence was not coupled with audacity. Every business man can recall instances in his business ca reer in which boldness won where timidity would have failed. It was the radicalism of that element in the Re publican party that, not couteut with attacking slavery as a wrong, declared for its abolition, that gave that party its growth and impetus and victory. It has been for twenty- live years as much the timid attitude of the Demo cratic party, and Us willingness to pur sue the policy of factious opposition to the Republican parly, that has kept it so lent in minority; and it was the courage and audacity of the party under the leadership of Cleveland in assuming the offensive, and not only in attacking the Republican policy as wrong, but in avowing a positive policy of its own, that enabled the Democratic party to become a majority party. When the question is simply one of governmental administration, when no great question is agitating the minds of the people to be solved by political methods, conserv.i- tism of action finds its proper place; but when great principles of government are in conflict; when, as now, the ques tion is the right of the mass or the privileges of the few, radicalism is safety and conservatism is failure. Comparing prediction with fulfill ment, the (ii.oui: limls in present con ditions the confirmation of its judgment. Protected manufacturers all over the country, aueered at the reduction in taxation accorded them, have sought to iulluence the congressional elections either by a reduction in wages or a ces sation of employment iv their factories, and Republican papers and orators are playing them a (food second by pointing to their action as the result of the tariff act of the Democrats. But this shallow trick might be left to the intelligence of the worknißinen to see through, if it were tlie only result ot the mistake of concession. The act has had its repellant eflec without its compunsating attractive ef fect. There was in it a sufficient indi cation of the movement of the Demo cratic party towards free trade to alarm and repel the protectionists of our party, the detection of which element from our party and affiliation with Republicans is duly noted and lauded. On the other hand, the effect of the recognition of pro tection by way of concession to these interests has operated to deter f torn joining our party that laree element in the Republican party who are free trad ers at heart, but who see in this action of a Democratic congress nothing but minor differences of detail without dif ferences of principle. Men learn by their mistakes, and so can parties. The mistake of the con cessions made points to the course that should be pursued. The Democratic party cannot rest at the point it has reached, and it must discard the advice of conservatives and follow the lead of THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MORNTI^G, OCTOBER 20, 1894 Cleveland and Wilson mil the radical element ot the party, in an early an. l lancer strife towards tree trade, with an honest avowal that that Is its ulti mate object. In this way only will it fomoensate for the loss of the protec tionis s in its own ranks by gala* from the ranks of other parties. 00F... KIKKKKa.-ITHUKS PACTS. Col. Kiefer's statement in his famous tariff- speech in congress that "Minne sota is lined along the Canadian border with establishments engaged in the manufacture of agricultural imple ments" having been questioned, it is understood that the colonel has put in part of his time between sessions in visiting th« boundary line from Grand Portage up through the Rainy river to the Lake of the Woods, getting affidavits rom the Indians that manufacturing establishiuents exist ihero w!»ich are turning out immense quantities of ag ricultural implements. It is reported he took in Taylor's Falls by the way, and secured from the oldest inhabitant residing there an affidavit that that town is a "great lumber-man ufacturing center." When he gets his statistics all com piled, it ii understood that he will re duce them 150 per cent in order to establish a purity between the nianu lacturers of implements, the lumber interests and the starch factories, whose demolition he so eloquently de plored owing to the reduction of the duty on starch 100 per cent. It is also understood that he is securing affidavits from sheep raisers in Minnesota to cor roborate the statement ot Senator Hausbrough that the sheep of this country had been, reduced in number 330 per cent by Mr. Cleveland's admin istration.'. Wo shall look forward to the speech, in which the gallant colonel Hoods the house of representatives with his vacation-gathered statistics with, in terest and also with curiosity, and we trust that Secretary Johnson will not interpose a veto to its delivery. A HO.MX AN&WKIt FOR M.'X. East Liverpool, iv Ohio, is the seat of the pottery industry in that state. Those who paid any attention to the campaign in that state last year will remember that ex-Gay. Campbell went dowu to East Liverpool to make a speech and was very coldly and hoslilely received by the potters there, who nad beeu told that the Democrats were going to re duce their wages to a basis of pauper ism, and so on. The 61) per cent pro tection which they had been receiving, and which they had been told was necessary to save them from want and degradation, was reduced to 3r> per cent, and the reduction has been iv operation long enough to siiow its effect. We referred yesterday to the state ment of the pottery manufacturers that they were making no reductions in wages. McKinley. in his speech here, said that "in 1«92 there was no industry but what was running to its fullest ca pacity, and no man wanting work but could find it at remunerative wages," putting that blissful coudition iv con trast with the doleful one which he pictured as prevailing now. lr, then, we would expect to Hnd anywhere the destructive effect of the reduction of the tax, it would be in East Liverpool and among the potters, where 25 per cent has been knocked off the tax on imports. The Crisis, published in that town, is the organ of the potters' trade, and iv a recent issue said: "The pottery trade in the West is now booming more than it has done in any time during the past three years. Not a man in the city need be idle who wants to work. Workmen :or odd jobs were never so hard to find here. Not one, but half a dozen, works in the city are now running over-time, and the talk of shut-down, prevalent a few weeks since, has been silent. Kel sey and New Cumberland are experi encing the biggest bmmi m their history, and are turning out nine kilns of ware per week, which breaks the record for that town." We advise Gov. McKiuiey to take a trip to East Liverpool. PACTS V.S. OPINIONS. Frankiin MacVeagn, in one of his soeeciies, pokes fun at the Republican papers whose uJitors in their depart ment are tuwllu* calamity while the advertising ami news columns flatly contradict them, citing the Inter Ocean, and quoting from it as one of his illus trations. This nettled the Inter Ocean, which said that "no one else ever thought of going to the advertising columns of a newspaper for expression of the opinions of the paper itself." With an indignation that shows how nettled it -was, it says that "everybody knows who knows anything about the matter that nothing could be more ab surd." This is tunny. Here is a plain question of fact: Is the situation im proving? Who knows It, if anybody? The editor in his sanctum or the man of business in his shop, or the reporter gathering facts? The editor says in his department that, in his opinion, times are not improving. The business man in his advertisements and th« re porter gathering facts say times are Improving, and the editor grows indig nant because the facts of the case are against his opinions. But when editorial opinions run asainst facts, that happens to the opinions that happened to the cow that got in the waj of btephensou's locomotive — it was "dom bad for the coo." In Ttir labor department of the Globe there was recently giveu the notorious Uazzard circular and one pretending to come from the American Bankers' as sociation. The Hazzard circular has been frequently printed in Popnlist papers, who resurrected it from the tiles of the Greenback organs in which it did service twenty years ago. It is a fake, pure and simple, the exposure of which followed its first publication. The pretended circular of the Amer ican Bankers' association is a rank forgery. It has no signature and bears date March 2, 1893, which was Sunday. The matter was used by the conductor of the labor department in good faith, accepting the circularas authentic. The Globe does not wish to be thought ca pable of fathering such stuff, nor does it believe that the cause of labor will be advanced by using it or permitting its use to go without protest. That cause has merits enough of its own to give it a standing iv the good opinion of the public without falling back on fakes and forgeries. The Minneapolis Tribune says that "it was felt that the state owed them (Knnisch and Wonitrkelt) sotnethiug better than death on the gallows." The Tribune lias moral mushiness. The state paid them exactly what it owed them, and it owed them this because they did not pay the statei what they owed it. This sickly sentimentality is a criminal watering pot. It encourages crime by its slobber over the convicted criminal, and its tendency to avert the punishment of the crime. The Order of United American Me chanics, the Patriotic Order of Sons of America anil the American Protective Association of Pennsylvania have Joined In a circular containing a series of twelve questions which tuey have sent to ail the candidates of the various par ties of that state for answer, and to Mr. Si.ige.rly. the Deiuocro'.ie.. candidate for governor. Among the rest. The Record publishes the questions and the answers of Mr. Siugerly. The significant ques tion, and the one which shows the Diir poie of all these organizations, 'is the eleventh, which asks: "Do you believe that Protestant Americans 'are the bet and safest persons to entrust with the ' management of our public offices?" In answer Mr. Singerly says: "1 do not! believe that a man's religious belief! should be si subject of political inquiry , The public's safety is best assured by simple honesty, capacity and efficiency! on the part or officials." He speaks like, a true Democrat.: Eastern Republicans are squpalinc vociferously because ex-Vice President Morton's fingers are caught in a trap, which they expected would never tin sprung. Secretary Carlisle is berated roundly by them for ordering the arrest of Mr. Morton's second coachman, and it is declared to be a piece of petty po litical persecution. There may have been local politics at tin! bottom of it In New York; but when the complaint was made and proofs submitted to tl.e secretary, he had no other option than to enforce the law which ex- Vice Pres ident Morton had helped into legality by his signature. These fellows cannot understand the Democratic idea that a Uw is made to be enforced, and not as a piece of clap-trap to fool voters with. While the Cincinnati Enquirer is nominally a Democratic paper, it has not been at all in sympathy with the movement ot the party, towards free trade. In its issue of the i;uh inst. it gives a full page to ttie re port of its correspondents all over the state, to whom it wired instructions to get at the facts in regard to the con dition of the various industries of the state, and expressly enjoined them to make their reports strictly non-partisan aud to give the tacts simply as they ex ist. Commenting upon the report edi torially, the Enquirer says that business improvement is general and of broad dimensions, and that "it looks like a cyclone." The Tribune quotes from the Fnrgo Argus the opinion of some one who would have a tariff wall built that would absolutely exclude the products of foreign labor from our shores. The comment ot the Tribune on this is that "three iuches of snow fell in Pennsyl vania on Sunday." The pertinency of the comment may not bu sensed readily, but we take it that it was the Tribune's way of turning its cold shoulder on the tariff-wallite. Miss Ida, Wells will now have an opportunity to conduct her parly of English investigators into outrages on negro rapists to some other point than a Southern state. The incident at Washington C >urt House in Ohio is worthy of her and their attentiou. Sun dry papers of a partisan type that have been dilating upon Southern outrages of this kind might also consider the in cidents and reflect upon them with ben efit. • ..•'. ■ [ Stfve Elkins is engaged in trying to defeat William L. Wilson for re-elec tion, and in a speech the other day he said that Mr. Wilson was putting his hands into his, Elkins', pocket. Mr. \V ilson retorted by saying that if he did put his hand into Elkins' pocket he would not take out anything that honestly belonged to Elkins, because all that was in it he had filched from other people during the past twenty-five years. Will the Republican state central committee and the Pioneer Press please take note of the fact that John M. Thurston, the Republican candidate for senator iv Nebraska, in his joint debate with Bryan, admitted that he was in favor ot the free coinage of our domestic silver, excluding the product of other countries? The country could stand that, he thought, but could not stand being deluged by the silver product of the world. On the whole, we are rather felad that our Republican friends are such per sistent calamity croakers, insisting that it is all due to the tariff, because we feel that it will help get into the heads of the business men the conviction that the system of taxation that makes busi ness stability depend upon it. and not upon energy and ability and industry, had better be gotten rid of as soou as possible. The Chicago Tribune continues to quote, editorially, the garbled extracts of Chairman Wilson's speech in Lon don. Taking part of what he did say, and omitting the rest, it makes him say what, in fact, he did not say. This may be considered good politics in Chicaico, but it is neither honest nor gentlemanly anywhere. Oxk of the minor, but not the least signircant items showing the present condition is the great demand on the mint for pennies. This is due to the fact that merchants are making reduc tions of price on a closer scale than by nickels, and the pennies are iv demand to make the necessary change. It is always an indication of financial health wben pennies are used iv shading prices. Joim Wasamaker keeps np his daily demonstration that, it republics are ungrateful, Republicans also are, and throws hot shot into the party ot calamity by announcing the rush of trade to his bargain counters to reap the harvest of lower prices.

' Snlvini'a presentation of the double bill, "I/Ami Fritz" and "(.'avall*ri«i Kus ticana," at the Metropolitan last night was nothing less than a revelation fto his admirers here. Botn plays were totally different iro-.u anything he has yet done here, and diametrically op posite in character, coloring and lone that they furnished the best positive Droor of the actor's versa: lity and the Capabilities of his excellent supporting company. As artistic gems, the double bill is perhaps the best thing he has (tout: during the week. He has done a service to the stage and a courtesy to his admirers in adding to his repertory two such strongly contrasted plays. In both th» art or the actor is well tested, aud between the demands of the two lie la seen in some new and altogether ad mirable phases of . his skill and talent. Any one who has read stories by Erck manii — Churtrain— '. and' what lover of the simply poetic, and fascinatingly true fins nut read something of theirs— may imairiiie from tin; title of '-L'Aznii Fritz," or "Friend Frit!," as Salvini announces it. that the play is full of unaffected homeiy life, full of quaint charm, ana so indeed it is. It is the .sort of play- that dramatic artists of Fiance and Germany delight to get h;>ld of. . and which are now coming into favor in this country; plays of senti ment, expression, character and pretty incidents, in which, there is not a great deal of what is ordinarily called action, but art artistic and delicate development of individual natures through an inter esting story to & romantic eilntax. There could be no simpler story Tor a three act play, yet the interest never abates. The whole effect is charming, and Sal viui's acting of Fritz from the first happy scene at the table to the final transport of joy. is among the most finished and exquisitely artistic things he has yet given the public a chance to see him in. His work in this play is of a high class comedy line, and : never is lie seen to belter advantage .than when he is employed in work that calls for the detail aud graceful handling that,dues the character of the happy Alsa tian. Effective work was done by pretty Maud Dixon as Suzel. and the other members of the cast, especially John Lane as the Rabbi. The methods of tuis excellent actor were better em ployed in this part than iv. anything he has yet been seen during the week. . ' "Cavailena Rusticiina,'' which con cluded the bill, is the Very antithesis of L'Ami Fritz. It is like a terriuc storm that breaks upon a beautiful June day. Nothing like it in intensity and realism, it is safe to say. has been seen on the stage of a St. Paul theater. This may have been expected in a large degree from the operatic representations of Verga's peculiar Sicilian love story; but the opera, after Salvini's dramatic version, is -an exceed ingly tame affair. The audience were not prepared for anything so siartlingly realistic. Though but a short one-act piay it combines tho ac tion and intensity of a dozen ordinary dramas. With its Sicilian scenes and costumes it is picturesque to a high de gree. it is strange, weird and fascinat ing. It is one of those whirlwinds of passion, a living picture, vivid In its ' presentation of the fierce, impetuous natures of the hot islanders, that rivets your attention, that holds you spell bound, aud when it is over you heave a sign of relief as though yon had passed through some terrible ordeal. But you feel you have never gazed on anything that equaled it in realism and intensity. You saw Tirriddu before you iv the per son of an actor whose Latin . tempera ment titled him with qualities for trie performance of . such a part that you could not imagine in one of the Anglo- Saxon race. Salvini's Tirriddu is today "one of the conspicuous impersonations of the American stage. It shows his probabilities in such rules as Othello, in which we hope to see him at no distant day. in this weird and powerful piny, the efforts of some of the other members of the com pany are seen to their best advantage, notably those of Miss Moreiti. She was an admirable second to Salviui. She seemed to absorb his . methods and ideas, aud their scene together in front of the church, where he casts her off, was thrilling, dramatic and artistic. William Kedmuud was also seeu to ex cellent advantage as Altio. .He was more powerful and effective than in anything he has yet done with Salvini. Tim stage management was really mar velous, and the duel scene terrible iv its realism. His here that Salvini excels. The audience that left the Metropolitan last uight whs probably impressed as it never was before, and will remember the double bill that Salviui presented as an event in its theater-going career. It is to be regretted he does not :do it again. "Ruy Bias" will be given at the matinee today, and the engagement concludes tonight with "The Three Guardsmen." V The sale of seats for "Aladdin Jr." is already very large at the Metropolitan. The announcement that the American Extravaganza company would not play at Minneapolis this season has resulted in a large number of orders for seats coming in from the theatergoers of that city. The interurbau line is making arrangements to put on extra cars be tweed the hours of 7 and 8 and 11 and 12 in the evening. -Excursions will be run from Stillwater, Red Wing and Hast ings during the week. The grand amber ballet in "Aladdin Jr." will be put on at the Metropolitan exactly as it has been presented at the Chicago opera house. Nutniug will be curtailed, cut down or dropped out for the ro.id. David Hend erson doesn't do business that way. If he can't give his entire production he don't give any at all. ;■■>;■ -•■.■.--••.■ • * "A Rnn On the* Bank," with Ward and Yokes, closes a successful week's business at the Grand with a matinee today and a performance tonight.

Since recip rocity ceased she has raised the tariff on American Sour from SI to $1.75, and now buys her breadstuff* from SDain.

There was so much improvement in his general condition that it gave great hopes of ills eventual recovery, but tii« disease itself was slowly getting worse. It was difficult probably, in view of the influence of this de ceptive Improvement, for the at tendant dignitaries of the court to persuade his ' majesty to be careful anu not to go about.

Hla Last Hope Blasted by Un earthing itl'a Republican liv - inj; in similar Cu,e. New Tonic, Oct. 19.— Judge Lacombe in the United States circuit court today dismissed the writ of habeas corpus in the case of John James Howard, i,evi P. Morton's English coachman. Under tins ruling Howard must go back to England. There is still one chance open for Howard, and this is an appeal to the secretary of tne treasury fot a re-hear ing of the case. Judse Lacombe, in dismissing the case, did not take the ground that Hovvard was not entitled to land, but that the courts have no author ity under the statute to interfere. The opinion is a lengthy one, and is fort'fied by references to decisions of the United States supreme court. Gen. Tracy, on be half of Mr. Morton, raised the point that domestic and personal servants were exempted by the act; that How ard was both a personal and a domestic servant, and consequently his landing was not in violation of the statute. Judge Lacombe admits all these con tentions, but said: "The language of the act clearly relegates to the secretary of the treas ury the sole power to decide whether an immigrant is here in violation of the law. The secretary has made such a decision in this case, and. however jealous the courts might be, and re luctant to admit that there was any statute that did not call for a judicial interpretation, the language of the con tract labor act was 100 plain to be set I aside." Howard's lawyers will prob ably make another appeal to Secretary Carlisle. Washington. Oct. 19.— The Associ ated Press telegram from New; York eiving the substance of Judge La combe's decision in the case of Howard. Mr. Morton's under coachman, was shown to Secretary Carlisle. He said that if Howard so desired he would give him a hearing. As to the decision itself, the secretary declined to express an opin ion until he bad seen its text. The immiiniUion officials today made public the decree in the case or Francis John Howlett, who in 18!) 1, it was al leged, was brought to tnis country by C. W. Eustis, of Washington, I). C, as head stableman and coachman, in .vio lation of the alien contract labor law. Assistant and Acting Secretary Spald ing in his letter to United States JDis tiict Attorney Cole, asking that suit be brought, says: "The department has uniformly held that said proviso excepting servants applies only in cases where such serv ants come into this country with their employers, and it has not been held that a head stableman and coachman isto be classed as strictly a personal or do mestic servant in the sense of the law." it is understood that, Mr. Eustis hav ing lett the country, the case was drop pod. The Times. The Washington Post, which tries to hold the partisan balance on a level, quotes a calamity croak from a Repub lican paper, and follows it with other quotations from papers of the same kid ney noting industrial improvements, and says: "Yes, 'times are growing better,' and no good purpose can be served by croak ing. The country could not, at a single bound, spring from deep depression to the height of prosperity, but it has started in the right direction, and the recovery can be retarded only by foolish agitation and threatened disturbance of tut* conditions that vow exist."

Why the Senior New York Senator . la Strong With the People.; Senator Hill; or N> w York, has many friend^ and admirers among the busi ness men everywhere. They like his consistent course in thu senate, and especially the record h« madu in the way of reducing taxation while governor "f the Empire state from UJBS till 1892. One of this class is Hubert L. Miller, of the Bank of Minnesota, who, besides being a good business man, is a stalwart Democrat. He is continent of the elec •ion of Senator Hill next month, and is a thorough believer in the brilliant senior senator from New York. "I have no doubt of the election" of Senator Hill.'.' said Mr. Miller yester day. "1 have watched his career from the time hu became governor of New York ten years ago. down to the present turn-, and i am in consequence a warm admirer of his match lest! ability, his un doubted integrity and of his great serv ices rendered the peopluof his state ana me Democratic party. A man to bu a successful politician and statesman must tiet an Near tbc People as possible, and thin Mr. Hill does as no other man in' American politics has done. As governor of New Nork he re duced taxation on the property, of the people and placed it on corporations until now more tnan enough revenue is raised in this way to defray the ex panses of the state institutions. His vote in the last campaign for tariff re duction was -always found oil the right side in the senate, He voted for free sugar, free coal, free iron and all raw materials. ' In this lie came nearer the Chicago platform than i<ny other member of Hie senate." . "For the reasons," concluded Mr. Miller, •'! have ei'.eU and many others well known to the people or New York, 1 believe that he will he elected ifov ernor over Mr. Morton by a handsome plurality. The people of New York are on the side of David Bennett Hill be cause tney Have conlidence in him. liis denunciation of the un-American at tempt being made to discriminate aifainst cilizeus on account of their re lisious beliefs was masterly aud true Democratic doctrine."

DEALS WITH STRIKES. -TIEISUITT'S ANNLAL FOR TUB DiHAiJ Uli.S V OF ii \iv.»» A. It Discusses Labor anil Common weal iJisturbancrs in the North west and Their Suppression. Washington, Oct. 10.— In his annual report, just published. Brig. Gen. >irr ritt, commanding the department of Dakota, says that the movement of troops in his department during the last summer was occasioned by two remark able outbreaks, which it has been nec essary to control by the United Slates army. la the first place, the organiza tion and movement of the- so-called commonweal army or Coxeyites. the other the strike commenced In June on the Northern Pacilic, precipitated in sympathy with the Pullman strike. The first of these developed to the . greatest extent in the farther Northwest, notably the stale .of Montana, being augmented' and aggra vated by causes like those making the strike occurring subsequently of con siderablu proportions, and more or less difficult to control. The causes are a large floating mining and at times un employed population, which, being more or less free from the restraint of law, is always ready to join any move ment in which idleness, vicimisness and lawlessness are found. Another cause is an affected sympathy extended to tiie lawless by both lush and low in office, who depend on the suffrage of the less law-abiding for their positions. This principle of dependence is apparent among, all classes, of the community. The merchant, the grocer, the trades man and ail who live by the pat ronage of others are constrained to openly express sympathy with the violent, and in many cases with the lawless, because of the principle of boy cotting which has been reduced to a science in this new and meagerly popu lated state. While many in these 0111 --munities of the classes of which 1 speak privately condemn lawlessness, fear (hat tne means tor procuring a livelihood would be taken from them by the Boy cott places them, so far as their public expressions of opinion go. among the worst element. • "It is not wonderful, under these cir cumstances, that lawlessness was in the ascendant in Montana daring both of the abnormal outureaKs referred to. It is perhaps only necessary to aild that all the resistance was made to civil au thorities. In no instance did the people iitduded in this oulnreak resist the mili tary when it appeared on the scene of the disturbance. The troops were used with complete discretion by the officers in coin maud, and the law was euioreed w thout vicleuce." In treating of. the great strike which stopped every wheel on the Northern Pacific railroad, and which Inflicted great loss and untold inconvenience upon the public. Gen. Merrltt says: "It is difficult to conceive, a worse stale of affairs than existed . on this mad. There was no mail communication with any point west of • Fargo. The posts situated on this road could hold no com munication with department 11 eutiquar ters save by telegraph. It the blockade had been continued, communities living and troops stationed at different . points on the road were in danger of starva tion resulting from the stoppage of supply trains." ' " ... %'•. Gen. Merritt tells in detail how he disposed his forces to meet the emer gency and open up communication, and says: . — "It is especially gratifying to note that all these movements, which in volved in many instances . considerable marching under the least pleasant con ditions, were performed promptly and in the most creditable ' manner. The dispatch with which troops moved, without being cautioned to that effect; the celerity with which they reached their several destinations, and the clearness with which orders were un derstood and' reports were made, reflect credit on the soldierly instinct of the responsible officers at the post! ami interior. 1 have no doubt that ii ample measures had not been taken tc prevent it, a groat destruction 01 railroad property.even to the eiracement of the road for a considerable length ol lime, would have oeen wrought by the lawless element whose .character lias been hinted at in the. foregoing." In conclusion Gen. Merritt .returns hit thanks to the officers of his staff auc Cols. Payne and Butt especially toi their excellent management of the thea ter ot operations within their care, lit connection with the labor .troubles lie also calls attention to the necessity of a system of tactics for machine guns.
