RKFUOKES AKKIVE IX SPOKANE.
Anarchy Openly Talked Laud lug: tbe
Savagery and Cenfmrtng Lairfnl
Action.
Spokane, July 15. Newspaper re
porters and everybody suspected of
sympathy for the victims of the savag-.
ery of the mob in Comr d'Alene are
under strict svrveilance, and it is almost
impossible to get anything reliable from
the Eeat oi war. A few embryotic 'an
archists held forth on Howard street
yesterday in this city. The slaughter of
the innocent men and the destruction of
valuable property in the Cuenr d'Alenes
was lauded, while the government was
censured for sending troops to quell the
riot. One fellow, who was evidently a
stranger to soap bubbles, went so far as
to suggest an attack upon the banks of
the city here, provided the rioters in
Cceur d'Alene were successful. These
anarchist sentiments were not relishable
to the Americans present and the
s pouters gradually slunk out of sight.
This city is t)it rendezvous of refugees,
and their experiences tell of a savagery
succeeding lawlessness showing . that
the instincts of civilization were thrown
to the winds and all that is vile iu
human nature has been brought to the
surface in that region. The annais of
western ruffianism have few blacker
pages than that upon which must be
written the deeds of the men, who fol
lowed up the fleeing miners, and finding
them unarmed, terrorized and defense
less, shot them down in wanton sport
and robbed them of their little belong
ings. It is a source of regret that jus
tice can never hope to lay her hands
upon the men who have done these vile
deeds.. It is unpleasant to realize that
menvcapable of such acts will, in all
possibility, escape the gallows. Their
immunity from conviction is a reproach
to the law. to organized labor and to
civilization itself. With the -coward's
instinct they cloaked their identity
under the darkness of night. Already
they have been swallowed up in the
maelstrom ot turbulent humanity that
has such thorough control of life and
property in . the troubled districts.
None can be found to give them up,
none to point them out to an avenging
public. They will probably continue to
wander at will,' compliant to the law
where the law has force, but ready for
fresh deeds of violence at the first lapse
of regular authority. All reports to the
effect that quiet has been restored at
Wardner needs-undoubted confirmation.
SEEDS OF DEMAGOGY.
The Moral and Legal Right of Capital
and Labor.
From the Bpokune Review. -
The seeds of demagogy spread like a
flash and take root in an hour. ' A few
days ago the proposition was laid down
in the senate of tbe United States that
the employer has not the right to dis
charge the employe ; that there must be
one form of law for the person who hires
five men and another" form of law for
the person who hires 500; that large
manufacturing establishments are pub
lic institutions and subject to the popu
lar will of the community, and that an
employer who has given work to a crowd
of men for several years must be com
pelled to go on hiring those same men
at whatever wages they see fit to ask,
regardless of the condition of the market
or tbe pressure of competition. .
That amazing doctrine has found a re
sponsive echo in the Cteur d'Alenes.
"If capital has the right to discharge
men like us," exclaims one of the strik
ers, "soon one of the worst forms of
slavery would prevail." But capital
has not discharged the men in the Ccenr
d'Alenes; they have simply discharged
themselves. Capital has simply refused
to let labor lay down all the propositions
of tbe contract. It had relinquished the
privilege of employing whomsoever it
desired to work in its property, but has
protested against the dictum that it
must also be a silent partner in the reg
ulation of wages.
It is wildly preposterous to say that
labor is justified in meeting this deter
mination with mob tyranny aud. nihil
ism of valuable property. If that prop
osition is ' defensible in a high wage
camp like the Cosur d'Alenes, it must be
defensible in every section of the United
States; and . upon this reasoning uni
versal nihilism is demanded. - It is hu
miliating to know that the forms of pop
ular government have brought an to this
at last. . It is pitiable the' way politic
ians and partisans are permitting them
selves to be awed into defence of the de
crees of force.
The trouble springs from a confusion
of the moral and legal rights of man. It
is readily seen that the old and faithful
employe has a moral claim upon the
employer: and it is lamentable that too
often this obligation is ignored and
ridden down by the requirements -of
competition. . But tbe old and faithful
employe has no right to take a rifle on
his' shoulder, and a bomb in his hand,
and set up a lawless enforcement of a
moral right. With more reason could
it be said that the child had a right to
go with dynamite in hand to the parent
who had offered it a worsted suit instead
of broadcloth, for in the family circle
there is a close approach ment of the
moral and legal obligations of the
parent.
False public sentiment is even more
responsible for tbe Cucur d'Alene tragedy
than are the active participants. There
can be no question that long brooding
upon their troubles has convinced the
strikers that their conrse is just and
justifiable. They at least cannot be
charged with demagogy. " But a false
public sentiment has pandered to these
views when it knew they were wrong.
It has been the breeze that has fanned
the spark of insurrection. It is more
reprehensible than the mob itself.
Martial Law at Hoinentead.
Pittsbubg, July 15. While martial
law has not been officially declared in
Homestead it has taken place to all
practical purposes. This result , was
caused by illegal arrests by special
policemen yesterday morning, when two
additional companies of troops with
twenty rounds of ball cartridges and
fixed bayonets were detailed to patrol
the town. They were instructed that in
case of an arrest by the police for any
manifest breach" of the ; peace, drunken
ness and the like, they were not to inter
fere, but in all other cases they are to
take both prisoner and policeman be
fore the provost marshal, and if the ar
rest is illegal the jwliceinan will be
punished.
Gen. Snowden puts it euphemistically
by saying the military will co-operate
with- the civil authorities in preventing
illegal arrests, and it is somewhat more
certain for the preservation of the peace.
It was reported yesterday that the town
was officially declared under martial law,
and the strikers were not at all pleased
when they heard it, as they thought it
presaged an immediate attempt to turn
in non-union men. Neither are the
loeked-out men pleased with the action
of the Carnegie men in other mills
threatening to strike unless a conference
is granted at Homestead, as tbey believe
the others can do them good in case of a
long struggle in remaining at work and
helping them financially.
- The Price of Wheat.
Pacific Farmer. There is no good
canse why the price of wheat should not
be as high this year ns it was last, as
official reports of the Russian prospects
show that the general outlook is much
worse than it was in the 'early part of
last summer. Locusts have destroyed
the crops in Caucasus, and in southern
Russia the crops have been ravaged by
worms and field marmot. This is worse
than it was last year, because there is
now no old grain in sight.
The Weaker Vessel.
Washington Post. The Rochester
Herald says: "Stanley renounced his
allegiance to. the United States that his
inordinate lust of power might be grati
fied by a seat in the English parlia
ment." This is not true. The woman
tempted him and he did eat.' He was
persuaded by tbe importunities of that
smart wife of his. Henry is the weaker
vessel of the two.

Anoka, Minn., July 15. The village
of Burns, across the Mississippi river,
from here; is in the midst of terrors and
the tusvn practically in the hands of a
gang of desperadoes, who are "burning;
buildings and, threatening tbe lives ' of
citizens. George Small a wealthy and
prosperous farmer, has been very active
in his efforts to lodge one of the ruffians
behind the bars, for criminal acts. A
warrant was sworn out against one of
the gang, but it has never been served.
The whole populace of Burns was terri
fied and the gang's actions were continu
ally causing annoyance.' The grave
crime of arson has been laid at their
doors several times. Monday the hand
some residence of Small was set on fire,
but after a fierce fight by the family
and neighbors the flames were extin
guished'. On Wednesday Small was
in. Anoka, and in the evening word
was brought to him that his elegant
