VIGOROUS METHODS DEMANDED. The events of the r,st week must show to the world that free Jom has been grossly ahiised. Because liberty was one of the fundamental principles upon which our government was framed it lias attracted to this country I lie op pressed of all lands. Alter enjoy ing the advantages of our free American institutions for a lime, tliey soon become socialistic and even anarchist i in their views. They declare that the rights of the laborer, who may be dissatisfied with the remuneration he is receiv ing, is paramount to all others, and that any rights of which the merchant, capitalist, manufacturer or privatu citizen is possessed, are at all times subservient to his will. It matters not to the average strike leader, who is generally a foreigner, how far-reaching the re suits of astrike may br-; how much Business is suspended or interfered with; how many poor laboring men are forced into idleness and liovr many children are forced into starvation, so long as their sup posed or real grievances are lis tened to and their demands granted. We are now suffering from the greatest strike evt-r known in this country and in the name of liberty the people are calling upon the government for some action, prompt and decisive. Thousands of our citizens who Itave heretofore been considered law-abiding and liberty-loving people have become socialists and anarchists. In Chicago the deprcdai.;i.; o! the mob are almost on a piano with the scenes of the fominune in France. U. S. tr .; - '-.! : militia have been (vnduty for days and many rioters are dead and others dying from the effects of shots fired by the soldiers. It is unfortunate that it became neces sary to resort to such methods but the infuriated mob were bent on burning the city and nothing but a-volley of shot from the soldiers would daunt them in carrying Iheir plans into effect. It might be found' upon careful investiga tion that the employes of Pullman had some greivances and were enl i tled to some concessions at the out set, but strikes, especially such an one as this, will result in no good. The mean3 employed to gain their point doe3 not commend itself to the thinking public and therefore little or no sympathy has been accorded them. Debs must lecognizo by this time hat 100,000 strikers are not easily handled. His appeal '-to conduct themselves as law-abiding citizens" i3 meaningless. The strike was ordered, and, as a con sequence, a howling mob exists in several cities, bent on the stop page of business and the destruc tion of property, over which he has no influence or control. This is only the inevitable result of such proceedings. When men are out of employment and encour aged in the belief that because men are wealth)', the wages de manded should be paid, no matter what conditions exist for not com plying with their demands, an archy and bloodshed are sure to follow. Since the matter has gone fur ther than was expected Debs at tempts to shift the responsibility for the murder and riot lor which lie is alone to blame, and under takes to make it appear that the railroad managers have hired a band of stabbers and incendiaries to burn and destroy their property in order to injure the cause of the strikers. Debs is no fool and must have known when he ordered the strike that it would culminate in violence, and his attempts to disclaim responsibility for the acts of the mob, is looked upon by in telligent and dispassionate observ ers as twaddle of the silliest kind. Strikes seldom, if ever, occur without resulting ;n suspension of business, violence, anarchy, crime and bloodshed. This Leing irue, the dignity of the state and the welfare and safety of her citizens demand the employment of more vigorous methods in their suppres sion. When a strike is ordered troops should at - once be dis patched to the scene in sufficient numbers to quell the mob and permit no violence. Anticipation of the worst and immediate action npon the part of stte executives will prevent riots and the loss r. I lives. As an evidence of this the action of Governor Flower at the time of the Buffalo strike in 1892. might be cited. He anticipated serious results and without delay sent' a large force of national griardsmen to the scene. Their numbers were sufficient to control the mob and prevent violence and the strike was soon broken. Other means than strikes should be resorted to in the settlement of differences between employes and employers. In this instance mem bers of the American Railway Union are guilty of conspiracy; against Pullman; against the rail-) road companies that haul his cars;; against the stat of Illinois and! every other s'ate in the union and ' even againsl the government of j (lie United States. Tin's is apeni-i tenliary offense, and the leaders of: the present strike and those who j have resorted to violence should ba 'vigorously, prosecuted and pun j Uhed. Anarchy should not be allowed to run riot. Men should learn that governments are formed and laws enacted for the purpose of preventing crime and liij pro tection of society. When it fails to accomplish this then it has lo.-t its power and anarchy reigns su preme. -a, - m- Tun governor of California must, be a wooden man. While the capital was in the hands of a law less mob, he permitted himself to remain at a summer resort enjoy ing himself and by use of the telegraph endeavored to secure from the mob permission to bring his private car over the lines of I lie Southern Pacific to Sacra mento. The duty of the hour de manded his presence at the capi tal and if it could not be reached by rail, he should have employed other means of transit. Horses are pk-ntiiul, and were he pos sessed of any ol the essentials of an executive and alive to the situation. Lis destination would have been reached on horseback, j When once at his post of duty j every national guardsman in the! state should have 1 een ordered otit and he at their head should : hen march against I he infuriated strikers uit Sacramento and cause them to disperse. Governors who consider their individual pleasure paramount toihe welfare of the- j state are worse than Useless be-j cuw-e ;!,.. iii s d'.-i'ig !.-i : 1 dis-; .

A law should b? passed making it a mis demeanor to leave a team on the street unhitched.' Were such a law passed and rigidly enforced it might have the effect of materially lessening the number of runaways wliica for the most part are l lie result of gross, and in some in stances, criminal carelessness. Much fault is found with the action of the national guard in some localities, and as a result, there may be an effort set on foot to do away with it altogether. A comparison of the national troops with the militia is unfair to the latter. .Not because it is made up of an inferior lot of men, for it is not, but because the discipline maintained in the regular army is more rigid and which makes it more formidable in suppressing riots than the national guard. This fault lies, not sr much in the men as in their officers, who are often selected more on ac count of their popularity than be cause of their ability and fitness for the positions. Bather than the disbanding of state troops there should be an effort to increase their efficiency. Wk need the service of a street sprinkler on Second street at once. The accumulated dust which has been blown hither and thither during the past week has demon strated to every business man that an attempt to dispense with the street sprinkling service, 4s foolish ness. The damage to goods from the constantly blowing dust will exceed each month the cost of sprinkling during such period. Heretofore this service was per formed by the dray company at a very nominal cost, but owing to tfie increased t.ivilX n-.x th-j water used, no arrangements have so far been made looking to the use of the sprinkler on our streets this summer. Some steps should be taken to inaugurate the service without delay. Thosk residents of Corvallis who celebrated the Fourth in Eugene will long remember the hospitality accorded them by the enterprising citizens of that, beautiful and growing city. The kindly feeling that exists between the two towns should be maintained and strength ened as each grows in population and increases in commercial im portance as it will prove of mutual benefit in advancing their several interests whiclr to a great extent are identical. THE FEDERAL PEACE FORCE. National authority is exerted to maintain order and enforce the laws in two ways, one direct and primary, the other supplementary and secondary. Its two separate ami listinct functions ough't not to be confused in the public mind, as thev often are these da vs. National authority' is exerted directly, through officers of the federal courts (marshals and their deputies) and through the regular army when civil force fails, to en force and execute the laws of congress. This is clone simply upon representation that it is necessary. Among the federal laws enforced in this way are those to secure prompt and effective pas sage of United States mail and for protection of interstate commerce. For these purposes, federal author ity is original and universal. It exists in all parts of the country side by side with state authority for other purposes, and is exer cised when required, wi hout con sulting state officers and without in the least invading or supercede ing their simultaneous jurisdic tion. This is the only way in which federal aulhoiity has been ex erted so far in the present, trouble. Deputies have been employed in many places and regular troops in some, to p:otect mail trains, to prevent interference with inter state commerce and to guard properly of raihoads in charge of federal courts under receivership proceedings. Neither troops nor deputies have been employed any where for general police purposes, to repress riot, to protect property other than that in charge of fed eral courts, or to guard trains other than those carrying the mails o." engaged in interstate com merce. All these local police functions belong originally to the states and cannot be exercised by federal power except on application or de struction of the state authorities. It. is to this use of the federal power, to mfoi'cv. stale laws when siate police ; gencie-i ha v-; proveo ci. constitutional and statutory limitations apply, and lo ibis .i-'j only. Before sending Iroops into a state for general police duty, to maintain ihe peace or enforce siate laws, the presi dent must receive an application from the legislature or, the legis lature not being in session, from the governor. Or he must have evidence that Ihe stale power is overthrown or paralyzed. Before proceeding in any of these cases, however, he must issue a proclamation calling upon riotous persons to disperse within a rea sonable time. None of these formalities are necessary when troops are used merely to enforce and execute federal laws within the several states. Until they are complied with, however, federal Iroops must limit their efforts strictly io fed eral purposes, and not endeavor to execute general police power. This is just what General Miles is doing in Chicago. Oregonian. The Salem officers have Jack En riglit, alias Texas Jack, on a warrant charging him with larceny in the steal ing Hii-1 carrying away of property belonging to his chum, Henry White. This I'.ian Enriglit is one of a gang of liorse traders who committed some thieving depredations in Linn county some two years ago, and who was the only one to e scope arrest at the time, the others being ca; tared at Dallas and taken hack to Aihany. An indict ment was duly returned against him tiiere and as soon as Marion county is through with him on the present charge the sheriff of Linn will want him. V A V When my little pirl was one month old, sho had a scab form on her face. It kept spreading until she was completely covered from head to foot, loea she had boils. She had forty on her head at oi.e time, andnore on her body. When six moatka old she did not weigh sevenpounds, a pound and a half less than at birth. Then her skin started to dry up and got so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep, but lay with them half oen. About this time, I started usinj! the Ccticuka Remedies, and in ontrnovth the irat completely cured. The doctor and drug bills were over one hnndre t dollar, the CDTICl'BA. bill was not more than Jlne dollar.

It la thm H rut anil fin'v Ti"lnlcilHnfr r 1 ORGANIZED LABOR. The continual howl about the pocr laborer who is being robbed by the corporations, is fast becom ing both tiresome and disgusting. The fact is, the American people feel a deep interest in the honest, loyal working man who goes about his business and does his duty faithfully and well, and they sym pathize with him sincerely when ever he is oppressed and will bend every energy to improve his con dition. But the majority of labor ing men, such as are employ d by corporations, have lost their individuality by identifying themselves with labor unions and in so doing they become their own worst enemies. Not that labor has no right lo be or ganized, for it has, and should do so lor its own edification and ad vancement. But wherein lies the fault of the present system of or ganized labor is its antagoniza tion of capital. The interests of Ihe laborer and those of the cap italist are identical and the best of feeling should therefore exist between them. Ihe whole trou ble lies in the fact that socialism and anarchy has been propagated by the worst foreign element until its feeling of unrest and discon-' tentment has permeated the mind of nearly every workingman in the country. This feeling has caused the organization, through out the length and breadth of free America, of labor minus, whose leaders thrive on the mis fortunes of their ' underlings. If the laborers would only see the I a lacy of the teachings of their leaders and throw off the yoke that oppresses them they would soon be better off. Individuali ty and ability would assert themselves. Men would see that such fellows as Debs and Sovereign are endeavoring to for ward their own selfish interests rather than of those whom they profess to be serving. Labor would then receive its just reward according to the ability and swift ness of the laborer. Compensa tion would then le. re'fo'afefi s.--coruing to I tie individual merit, of each employee rather than accord ing to the present system that al lows to each person in a certain class the same wage regardless of his merit or ability. -2 jv c Jlrs. .T.
