We ask, gentlemen, what means this martial array? If its pur- pose be not to force us into sub- mission, can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has the United States any enemy in any part of the world to call for all this military preparation? No, sir. They are meant for us. They can be meant for no other.

The Pinkertons at Homestead are still looking for the rifles they were so glad to set rid or a short time ago.

Those rifles be long to the men who captured them, and they should not give them up to any body. They will need them soon. The plutocrats are busily or ganizrog a sky rocket campaign for October, under cover of which they think it will be possible to declare the Pinkerton ticket elect- and hold the office by force. This is no idle talk. The plans are all laid and being carried out vigorously.

The leaders of the Homestead men have been arrested and thrown into jail at the mere re- qst or an underling or uar, nagie, ana the right or Dan re- fused. Contrast this with the action the government in turning loose, even without bail, the mur. derers of the Wyoming settlers at the instance of the English cattle lords! Benjamin Harrison is the first American president to proclaim to the world that foreign nabobs may conspire to kill, and actually kill American citizens in their own homes, at their own sweet will and have the assistance of the United States army in their bloody work.

And now at Homestead, American courts are to b9 prosti tuted to carry on the work of mur- der. It is bad enough that the presi dent of the United States has be- cona satrap of Lombard street Jews, using the American army to murder American citizens at the direction of foreien buccaneers. bot jt j8 worse that our courts of naw have reversed their functions an(j become the protectors of as BaB8in8 an(j plunderers, he plutocrats have doomed the men of Homestead to death. Their trials will be as much of a farce as were those or rarsons and his friends in Chicago. They will be executed by pretended sanction of law, and the plutocratic press and pulpit will applaud the murder.

There is but one way to prevent the massacre, and that is for the American DeoDie to rise in tneir might and at the coming election bTerthrowthe plutocrats and the whole hireling crew from Ham- 8on aown 10 cuv Olorne Bna 611 i i 3 .11 other mangy curs who howl in chorus and do the dirty work of the tyrants who would thus terror ize organized labor and enthrone Pinkerton thugs, and punish those who resist their murderous work, or the time will come wnen tne aa II il people will require blood for blood.

That republican speakers are as silent as the graveyard on the question.

5. That state Journal got city printing and now supports Sterne. b. That the Peoples party having swallowed the democrats without a wry face show they can not be trusted." The above appeared as the head- ines or an announcement of a prohibition speech last week. We-commend its consideration to that class of republicans who go around with stiff backs and sancti monious faces, trying to make folks believe they are Christians.

A PECK OF TROUBLE. The plutocrats have decided hat N. Y. must go for Benjamin he hatter. To help this scheme hey are bragging on the Mc Kinley bill.

Charles F. Peck was abor commissioner and made a "report" which was doctored up ike the recent famous doctored report of Secretary Foster, to show hat wagee had advanced since he McKinley bill began to oper ate. But Mr. Comm'r Peck happened write a letter to a friend in which he pointed out that the Philistines had been plowing with his heifer and that the facts are the other way. This letter was made public and the dickens was to pay, for the republican com mittee had had hundreds ot thousands of them printed for dis tribution.

Mr. Peck was very in considerate in spoiling so nice a story and has been arrested and held in $1,000 bail for his blunder. The old gang of pirates is very much reduced. THE BOND TORGEEY. In 1870, Congress passed an act refunding various forms of in debtedness into 4 per cent bonds redeemable at the pleasure of the U.

S. for thirty years, to the amount of one thousand million dollars. In the copy of the bill signed by the president, the word for" is changed to "after" although it still remains upon the records of both House and senate as "for thirty Yet the officials have recognized the forgery, and paid many mil lions of dollars as interest on this false assumption. Many of these bonds were bought by the govern ment at their face value with in terest not yet accrued for many years. Ed.

A number of five minute speeches roused enthusiasm and patriotism. I wanted to say that the flag was the emblem of the freedom our fathers won from English aristocrats by their swords. JJot till they had declared their eternal severance from the throne did they raise That flag. One hundred years ago King George was forced to allow three million of Americans to form and run a government of their own. We are now sixty-five million, nine millions of our homes are mortgaged mostly to English lords.

Many millions of acres of the land belong to foreigners. Our press and pulpit is controlled by English wealth. Our factories and railroads are in the hands of Englishmen and millions of American laborers look to English proprietors for their daily bread. Have we a right to hoist that glorious emblem under such conditions? Let us pause and think!
