F. H. R.
OF WHAT BENEFIT IS THE
STRIKE T
The following artiole is taken from tho
N. Y. Herald, and we advise all to read it.
If the Herald bed inoluded in its estimate
of the causes whioh produced the hard
times and aoaroity of money, and the
vioiooa and worse thsn foolish oontrao-
tion of the Republican party that for
years had controlled the Government, the
editorial would have been bettered :
Every man, even the moat ignorant,
knows that the more oapital there is and
the aafer its employment is the more there
to for workingmen to be paid with. It is
beoausa the times are hard, beoanse the
oapital of the eonntry waa largely de
stroyed by tha war, by the Ohioago and
Boston fires, by waste in oity and State
Governments, by the stealing of rings—
it ia because these losses have impover
ished the oouutry that so many thousands
seek in vain for employment. And here
to a strike whioh wantonly and law
lessly stops the whole transportation
of the greater part of the Union, and by
doing to causes enormous losses, nut
merely to the railroads, but far more to
the farmers sending products to market,
to the merohsnts who would buy them,
to the msnnfaoturera who would givo in
exohange their products. All this loss
still further impoverishes the oouutry—
already too poor to give employment to
all its hands. If the times were bard be
fore, this week's wild snd foolish work
can only make them harder to everybody,
and partionlarly to workingmen and their
families ; to men who live from wages,
and who oan receive wages only from
other men who ere able not merely to
employ bnt to pay them.
Nor does the loss stop with the strike.
It wiU take the oonntry a good while to
make it np. Not only will the farmer,
the manufacturer, the merohant, who has
lost by the strike, be less able for some
time to pay wages to men anxious to
work, but an aot of destrnotiou like that
at Pittabnrg will, by making that oity
poorer and burdening it moBt sevetely
with tsxsa, make the oondition of its
workingmen harder for years to oome.
How 7 By raising, neosssarily, the prioe
of house rent, of provisions, of olothiog,
of everything that the workingman and
his family mast UBe. Is this destrnotiou,
then, an advantage to workingmen any
where 7
But, it may be said, the strikers had
S rievanoea. They reoelved too little pay;
ley bed familiea to support. Well, they
reoeive no pay at all now ; their families
have nothing at ail. Surely that does not
improve their unhappy oo: dition. But
this ia not all. A strike is a business
transaction. Before a man stops work, as
be to a reasoning being, he ahonld be sat
isfied either that ho oan get other and more
profitable employment, or that bis employ
er osn get no one to fill his plsae st the
prioe. In tbe last asse, of course, be com
mend* the sltnation, and is able, lawfully,
to ooerae his employer. But nothing is
clearer than that the atrikera have made a
mlsoatonlation. There are, in faot, plenty
of men ready and willing to take their
places at the prioe; end this the strikers
rsoognioe, for they have in the most
shameless and lawless manner prevented
snoh men everywhere from acoepting
work snd wages. Nothing, as wo have
repeatedly said, ean justify workmen in
than attacking in others the very right
they assume to themselves.
The truth is, the train men, overconfi
dent in the power of their organization,
deoeived and muddled as to their rights
and their power by the demagogues who
oontrol that organization, urged probably
by designing and vindiotive men like their
leader, Arthur, who is still smarting under
his detests in Boston snd Pennsylvania,
have pieeed themselves in e fatally false
position. Their leaders have misled them
into a hopeless mire. While they kept
within the lsw they had our sympathy and
that of the publio; but when they break
tha lew they deserve no honeHt man's
sympathy. They cannot hope for it in
this eonntry.

A MURDERER DROPPED INTO ETERNITY—HE
MEETS DEATH WITH JEERS ON HIS LIPS.
New Orleans, Jnly 25.—J ales Gaidry,
oondemned for tho murder of John Beale,
waa executed to-day at Lake Charles, on
tbe square adjoining the jail. He was
handcuffed and monnted the soaffold at
20 minntes to 2 p. m., assisted by the
sheriff and a friend of Gaidry, and a
? roung Priest. Gnidry, daring his prison
ifs, gave himself np apparently to relig
ious instructions. Guidry was sent to
New Orleans parish prison for safe keep
ing, beoause a revoue was dreaded. He
arrived here on the 15th. Sinoe he faaB
been here he has borne himself bravely.
He was very firm, oool end determined,
bnt constantly deolared that be
ought not to die for tha killing
of Beale, beoenae Beale had se
duced his wife, and ruined his home and
bis children's future. Guidry behaved on
the gallows in a desperate and daring
manner. He addressed the erowd, and
said he killed John Beale, and he would
do it again to-day; that be ought not to
die for it, tod that be would die like e
man. He did not oaro to die. Father
Charles said a few words of prayer. He
nodded hia head aa if aasenting, tnrned to
bia friend on the soaffold and said: “I
am firm; I em not afraid to die.” He laid
what 0. C. Dnson testified to in oonrt is
not ao. He oontinned talking loud to tbe
erowd, declaring his indifference to death
and that he would commit tbe same orime
again and again, and that he was
justified. Before be was pin
ioned be took np a rope in his
hands. It waa dangling from s beam
above him to his feet. He handled tbe
rope and examined the noose, and said :
“That fall ia not enough ; I want a neok-
broak fell of 10 feet." Tbe sheriff
lengthened the rope to a fall of 8 feet,
bnt this did not satisfy him. He tried
the slip-knot to Bee if it worked easily.
When the block asp was put over his head
he oried : “Why, I oan gee everything.”
The rope was adjusted and slip-knot
tightened. He said : “Not so tight, bnt
put the knot more on the side of my
neek.” As tbe sheriff took np the az to
out the lope he cried out jeeringly: “I
can see you ere going to ont the rope.”
In a few seconds more, while he was say
ing he did not esre, tbe ax fell, tbe rope
parted sod Gaidry died almost instantly.
The fail was folly 8 feet, if not more.

Here is a speoimon ooinmuaistiosl ut
terance from one of the St. Louis bum
mers Monday night:
“ ‘Amsrioan liberty' is a flagrant lie!
Never was there snob serfdom sines tbe
oreatipn of msn, snd American workmen
are deapioably mean and debased for not
rising in their might, for they have it in
their power—but they have not the intel
ligence or oonrage to emancipate them
selves by the ballot. ‘Amsrioan liberty’
is a misnomer, when eleven miners were
burled into eternity for attempting to
proteot themselves and their families from
starvation. [Load cheers. ] Even st this
moment tbe telegraph wires are heralding
the news of maaaaare of workmen who are
trying to protect themselves against cap
ital. The whole secret lies in wbat is oalled
the rights of ‘individual liberty’and ‘indi
vidual property,' a fallaoy that baa kept
men down for oenturios. Oapital baa
overridden and violated the constitution,
and is bringing down labor into serfdom.
Workingmen mast either light or die.
[Load obeers snd cries of ‘Give 'em bell I 'J
The blood of the unfortunate miners of
Pennsylvania,and of tbe workmen of I’lttH-
bnrg and Baltimore, ories aloud for in
dustrial liberty, and we must have it.
Labor must be free, even thongh every
town and oity in tbe eonntry perish."
This is simply the spirit of anaroby—
contempt for authority and love of revo
lution, the oonaeoration of insubordina
tion and labeling it * virtue. Tbe lan
guage of the American anarchist is but
an echo from the old world.
