If it is the intention of the leaders
of the various communistic societies
that are now forraiug over this country
to repeat with a greater prospect of sue
ceps the riotous attempts of last sum
toer, they are making a serious blunder
in their method of preparation and in
the publicity they arc giving to it A
great many people who ought to have
known better, sympathized with the
rioters of last year under
TUB BELIKF THAT THEY WKRK POOR MKN
almost starving for want of sufficient
wages, and that they were driven to
deeds of desperation by sheer destitu
tion. It was the support giveu to it
by thoBo who took this view of the sub
ject that made the riots a source ot
alarm to thinking citizens. They saw
that it was possible by appeals to sym
pathy to make many consider even mur
der to be justifiable. It was impossible
for one or two thousand ruffins to over
awe a great city for more than a day or
two. If in that time a tumult could
not be suppressed by the regular
authorities, there were more than
enough who would volunteer to put it
down; but
A DISTORTED PUBLIC OPINION
was not so easily corrected. Even
though the railroad employes asserted
over and over again that the active
rioters were in no way connected with
them ; though it was shown that a
large proportion of those who were
killed and taken prisoners were of the
professional criminal class, still the im
pression that it was the cause of the
poor workingman gave to the murder
ous roovemeat a fascination which
thousands of honest, peace-loving per
sons could not resist. But if the com
munistic leaders in Chicago, St. Louis,
Cincinnati and elsewhere make an armed
assault in the manuer they would seem
by their preparations to propose, they
will have none of this indirect assist
ance to depend upon. The poor but
IIONEtT LABORER
is not at all likely to suppose that a
member of a communistic club, armed
with a costly brecch-loading rifle, and
in other ways expensively equipped for
the fray, is one of hU fellow-sufferers.
He will naturally wonder why, if this
disturber ot the peace was so earnestly
desirous of getting bread, he did not
sell his arms and ammunition and pur
chase it These rioters would bo no
longer to him workingmcu whom dis
tress had made unaccountable for their
actions; but he would see in the drilled
aud armed troops of communists bands
of men who were desirous, through
blood, pillage and confusion, of over
turning the existing order of society
substituting for it
M7TAT ?
Docs any one know what the aim of
tbesd German and French socialistic
leaders is? The French Itcvolution of
1789 had its origin in the despotic
character of the King and the aristocra
cy j but what special grievance have we
here that tLese armed reformers have
come across the Atlantic to correc ?
Business is depressed, and men find it
difficult to make enough to support their
families in the degree of comfort or ease
to which they have been accustomed.
But this is a misfortune which runs
from the lowest to the highest social
scale, and from which few, if aDy, are
exempt. Even in the tate ef Massa
chusetts alone thousands of men. who
ten years ago accounted themselves
well-to do, are now
VIRTUALLY I'KNNILLSS.
Their social position did not help them ;
for here we are all workers, and thrive
01 Euller in accordance with tho con
dition of business. Is there any way
in which this unfortunate state of af
fairs can b impioved by communistic
agitations? Suppose, for a moment,
that these men were to succeed in a
revolt at Chicago; what would they
do? They might, it is true, seize the
grain and provisions that happened to
be there, rob or burn the houses of the
wealthier classes and possess themselves
of the control of the municipal govern
ment. But, after the poor workingman
had been given a chanco he would not
bo likely to avail himself of stealing
some cloths and a few days' supply of
provisions.
WHAT WOULD HE DO?
If ho suffered for work before, he would
certainly suffer for it after such a riot
ous success. Chicago would be cut off
from all trade communication with the
rest of tho world as completely as if it
were located near the North Pole.
Laboring men are supplied with work
in Chicago, just as they arc in Boston,
because it is a part of a great commcr-'
cial system, but if the laws relating to
tic safety of life and property were re-;
laxed it would cease to have any hold ;
upon this great current of trade, and
the laboring men would have cither to
starve at homo or go to other cities
begging work.
NO LASTING BENEFIT
to n individual or a class can come in
this age through violence. Tho fabric
of business and society is founded on
the basis of a lawful and peaceful gov
ernment. Once undermine this, and
everv one who could not go to some
foreign country to live would be a
sufferer. Boston Herald.
DON'T CARE THREE CENTS.
Vicksburg Herald (Dcm.) says: A
vast majority of the Southern people do
not care three cents about the Potter
resolutions. They know that Mr.
Hayes wad not elected President, but
they know the majority of Northern
people wanted him for President, and
that he is installtd President, and they
will not take the least stock In any effort
to unseat him.
WHY DON'T YOU FAY SO ?
Little Hock Democrat says : Oh,
Mr. Potter, do you really want to
" Mexicanize " this Government ? If
not, why don't you say so in the terse
Anglo-Saxon used by the Hon. W, F.
Slemous, when interviewed on the sub
ject of Mr- Hajes' title, a short time
ago? The representative from the
Second Arkansas district is reported to
have said that "all h I couldn't touch
Haves' title.'' That's what we call
plain talk.
"IF."
Huntsville (Ala.) Advocate (Detn.)
says ; If tho investigation was honestly
intended to make fraud odious it would,
and always will, have our cordial sup
port ; but enough has come to the sur
face within the past week to prove that
it was only intended for political pur
poses revolution though it be. The
politicians forced this country into a
terrible internecine war for their own
personal ends, but the game wili not do
now. The people are not ripe for a
revolution.
WHO THEY ARE.
Benton Co. (Miss.) Argus (Dem.)
says: There is no difficulty in discov
ering who the shallow-pated ninnies in
Congress are, for all know them to be
conscientious gentlemen on the Demo
cratic side of the House, who dance to
the tune of "Investigation," sung by the
tax dodging, weak-backed Sammy, and
Republican sharpen", whohave outgen
eraled these same Democratic, Webster
ian statesmen on every occasion, aud
who are now completely "pulling the
wool over their eyes."
STIRRING HAD BLOOD.
Aberdeen (Miss ) Weekly (Dem.)
says: We reiterate, and will continue
to so think, until the result pioves to
tho contrary, that tho Potter resolution
is a bad move, a great cost of money,
time, aud re-awakening of bad blood,
without tho slightest hope of obtaining
more than a declaration from u com
mittee majority that frauds WtJfe com
mitted, protested against by a minority
a declaration that has already been
made, and believed in by the parties
adversely represented. It strikes us
that our party in Congress needs a few
men like our Governor, who bear the
lion hearted courage of convictions.
TO ARKANSAS MEMBERS.
Helena World (Dem.) says: They
should know that tho people of this
State want them to set themselves
against anything further in the same
direction; that is, any movement that
contemplates I he perpetuation of Mr,
Tilden's name in councctiou with tbe
Presidency. . ,". It is not difficult to
observe that neither the party nor the
country can be aided by further action
in the matter, therefore let the Arkansas
delegation inform the managers of Mr.
Tilden that hereafter nothing shall re
ceive their support but measures relat
ing to the people whom they represent,
and that tho day has passed when
patriotic means could bo made the chan
nel of small things.
"UNSEATING HAYES."
We have stated timo and again, and
we repeat it here, with such emphasis
as seems to suit the occasion, that there
is no desiro on the part of the Southern
democracy to unseat Mr. Hayes. At
lanta Constitution.
This is true. The people are against
it. But a proposition to disclaim an
intention to " unseat Mr. Hayes " was
voted down by tho Southern Democrat
ic members of the House, Stephens and
Mills excepted. In this tho majority
misrepresented the people, who should
rebuke them. Our Representatives
permitted themselves to bo used by Mr.
Potter against their own views of right
and duty. They were not scut to
Washington for that purpose a fact
they will learn at tho next election.

SOME GOOD ADVICE.
Forrest City (Ark) Courier savs :
The man must posses a great deaf of
moral courage who, unheeding tbo
frowns of his friends, stood up for the
rights and privileges of the white men
of the South men who strained every
nerve in order to defeat himand yet
Hayes did so, believing conscientiously
that ho was only discharging the duties
of his office.
Would it not benefit our people more
if our Legislators would turn their at
tention to some scheme for levying the
Mississippi, building the Southern
Pacic, or what is cf nioro importance
still, give employment to the thousands
of starving laborers that are now scat
tered broadcast throughout the length
and breadth of the land? Would not
any of these schemes be more beneficial
to our people than wasting time and
money dis;ussing a question that has
already been settled by the highest
tribunal known to the law?
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Adopted by tbe State ConTenticn. beld at
Detroit, Jane 13, 1378:
The Republicans of Micbigan. after tweutj
four retre of unbroken control or tbe Hut
government in all its department, invite tbe
moBt rigid scrutiny info tbe manner m whic'i
their trreat responsibilit es have been dis
charged, and we point with satisfaction and
pride to that faithful regard which hae Leeu
evinced by tbe State Administration for tbe
happineea and security of our citizens, tbe
prosperity of the commonwealth, and the main
tainance of public faitb.
Resolved, That while we eutertain an un
doubtmg faith that, in tbe honest Judgment of
mankind, the past record of the Republican
party will furnish, both in its patriotiem and
achievements, some of the most illustrious
pages in our national history, we pledge to the
future an unfaltering tidelity to xte Jnat and
humane principles which, in times of great
public extremity, inspired and created u ; and
we recognize among the tacred obligation of a
Government founded on those principles tho
duty of securing to all its citizens a tree and
untrammeled exerci-e of the nuht of suffrage,
and of protecting every man and woman from
whom it claims allegiance, in the peaceable
pursuit of an honest life, by every legitimate
means within its reach.
Resolved. That we congratulate our fellow
citizens on tbe unmistakable evidence apparent
in so many directions, that the business inter
ests of the country are recovering from tha
long depression brought on by overtrading and
excessive speculation, and on tbe certainty that
this recovery is to be mado enduring by the
resumption of specie payments, now happily
within immediate reach, and certain to be ac
complished without shock either to industry or
commerce; thai in financial, as in other mat
ters, "the world is governed too much," and
tbe pressing need of the time is stability on
which to build confidence, allowing tbe natural
laws of trade to assume their Lealthful opera
tion; and that, in common with tbe best intel
ligence of ail parties, we rejoice in the early
adjournment of Congress, and tbe respite it
will afford from the reckless and mischievous
schemes of ignorant legislators, made formid
able by tbe despotism of a caucus.
We denounce repudiation in every form, and
repudiators m every disguise. We" regaru the

that the value or paper currency, whether

Reholved. That we view with approueuijivn
tbe spread of opinions and the growth of ten
ements, as embodied and proclaimed in the
platforms, resolutions, speeches and publica
tions of the so-called National tJreeuback
party, and the varioua socialistic and comrnmi
ibtic organizations and their advocates tlrongu
out the laDd. which, if adopted as tho pol-cy of
government, must brin? di?aster and tuiu to
business, discredit and dishonor upon the
nation, and tend in a high decree to subvert
many of those principles whijli we repaid aa
fundamental m the structure and -upp ,rt of
free government, and tbe lt-publiosn party
will meet all these docrinca aud tendencies
with the most prompt, vigorous and u:vom
proinising opposition.
Resolved. Tbat tho question of the f-lcctu.ti
of tbe present mcumbentj of the oliiaH of
President and Vice-PresiJnt was linally
settled by tbe Forty-Fouith Congres. and any
attempt to re-cpea it. on any pretense what
ever, is fraught with danger to republican in
stitutions, and the Republican party of Joia
State wid maintain with inMpxible "firmncsH
their right to the exercise of tbe fucctiooa of
their respective office?, until terminated in a
constitutional manner.
Resolved. That the administration of Uov.
Croswell has been prudent, wise, honest aud
economical, and tbat be is entitled to tha
cordial respect and confidence of tbe people of
Michigan.
Sam Cary, the inflation SDOuter and former
i, li. (Grecn-back or got beat; candidate for
tbe Vice-rresidency, in late speeches haa
claimed that there are three millions or able
bodied men out of work: tbree millions more
living on hair-work and L&lf-pay, and throe
millions more who would be absolute paupers
were they to lose their situations, whon the
census of 1870 shows that there are only nine
and tbree-qnarter millions of able-bodied
men in the United .States. Nine millions of
paupers begging the other three-quarter-i of a
