For electors at large, CHARLES B, AYCOCK, ROBERT B, GLENN, LABOR ETHICS. In tho army of workingmen at Homestead we are told, there are many expert sharp-shooters, men who have learned to use the rifle ; for game is comparatively plenti ful in the neighboring mountains, and the workingmen are not so poor but that they can enjoy a day's sport occasionally, In fact the employees of the Homestead works are not at all a poor class of men; and It is fortunate for them and tor the cause of labcr in gen eral that they are not. Like the farmers of Concord and Lexington, they have entered into the present fight aa much for the sake of prin ciple as because of the money in terest at stake. Like the men of the Revolution again, they are willing to fight because they know how--a fact of immeasurable im portance in the morale of any body of men. The result of that ability t.o pro tect themselves, deplorable as was the necessity for its use, ia worth all it has cost. As a first conse quence we look to the disbanding everywhere of the lawless army of Pinkerton guards. Several Statea have already forbidden their im portation from other common wealths, but that is not enough. The Federal Government must forbid their very existence as an organization; otherwise it would be quite easy for the Carnegie Company, the Reading Railroad, the Standard Oil Company, or any other great corporation to recruit its standing army of mercenaries without leaving the borders of any particular State., Statutes such as have jbeeir paesAl in New-York, Ne JeiWjl tladiana aird Massa chusetts, against- the introduction of Pinkertdn guards from other sections do not prevent Mr. Pinker ton ' from locating a gai rison in any , pf thoee States ; they only limit his., powers of mischief, to noma extend, The United States must deal with" "the treasonable usurpation of its ri eis by or ganized ruffianism. : We : have contidered thus far only , the practical side of the pres ent situation, lor that is the eide which confronts the friends of jus tice and the rights of labor. Prac tically the Carnegie Company has declared war on its late employee; it has need armed forces to over" come tnem: ana it nas been de feated. The workingmen have met the illegai .riuvHders as any commu,nity; would be justified in meeting an assault , by banditti or wild Indians. fSo long es the pos sibility of, another i invasion exists, so long the defenders, will be; war ranted in .waging- exterminating w ir against their assailants. " Amid .rm8.the laws.: are silent ", so says the law itself.- The moral aspect of the case is lost sight of - in the immediate question ; of meeting illegal force with just resistance, but morally the "workingmen are also in the right. The quarrel is not essentially so much one of rates of wages, as of rights of existence. Manager F.rick has determined to break up the iron-workers' union. As he said in his ultimatum; "If this contract at $23 is not signed by June 24, midnight, we will not deal, with the union any more. We will employ, each man separately, And will pay no attention to the union ". The issuing of this ultimatum was but the first step in his avowed determination to destroy . the Am algamated Association of work ingmen. Nobody will . deny that labor anions sometimes work hard ship to indiyiduals, bat such in stances are rare, and the benefit to workiagmen at large far exceeds any possible injury v to private rights. One may concede the ab stract right of -a State to leave the Union, without denying the higher right of the Union to prevent se cession .forcibly; ; because . .the se cession of one or , more members would have brought ruin to all. The .workingman's union is his capital. - Without its protection he is at the mercy of his employer. The theory that a man may do what he likes arith his own " is not tenable in this era of great in dustrial enterprises. Thirty years ago a man might do . what he liked with his own horse,with his his own child, with his own "cuffy"; but a better civilization has taught him that he no longer holds that "right." It is conceivable that a billionaire, or a body of them, might today become owners of a whole city. Does any sane person contend that ia such case they would be justified in burning down that city, provided Jtkey --chose to indulge in the pastime! The men who "own" the Home-i stead steel works owe something to the laws under which they have waxed rich and insolent. The protective tariff lias certainly been kind to them. .Under its fostering influence they have .been, enabled to divide many : millions i among themselves, i They t. may have a legal right to shot down "their mills, to "let the' 'works crumble and waste away into the river with the rains," as 'their friend Pinker ton declareejbut the people of Homestead can stand that if the Carnegie Company can. What they cannot stand, and -what the people of the whole country will support them in. resisting, is the trampling on their rights by a horde of mercenaries at the dictation bi arrogant capital. They have won their Lexington. They , can wait, even if it takes seven ; years, for their Yorktown. STATE NEWS Raleigh Chronicle; The elec trie lights, in all save the business part, are being removed and in a few days the "tombstone gafr lights will undertake to make darkness visible. There will be a howl later on. Greensboro Patriot: On yes terday while the vanguard of the wire-pullers assembled in knots about the hotels, preparatory to the meeting of the Republican Convention tosday, some of tho leaders of the People's party (so called) were noticed shaking hands among them one gentleman prominently spoken of as a candi date tor a btate omce. Burlington Herald: On Mr, Jim Teague's farm, about a mile from town, have been found indi cations that point to rich deposits of gold ore. " Mr. James Jones, an old miner, is at the head of the proiect, and has leased the prop erty for a term of vears. -The shaft has been sunk about sixteen feet, and several gold-bearing quartz have been taken out. This is thought to be what will prove a rich find. Morganton Herald; A. great deal more hay will be made in Burke th;s year than ever before, Mr. J. A. Lackev has a field of timothy on his farm near Morganton, conn taining twelve acres, from which he cut a crop ot nay that was a stunner. The timothy heads were from 8 to 12 inches in length. Our armers are learning that tMi ii as much money in raising hay . .id cattle as in anything else' their farms can produce. . Wilmington Star; The Comp troller of the Currency has declar ed another 15 per cent, dividend for the depositors of the First Nab tional Bank, which suspended last November. When this is paid it will make 30 per cent, re ceived by depositors, more already than a great many expected to get. Mr. w.o. u 13. .tfooin6on, re ceiver of the bank, will pay out this dividend as soon as the checks can be made out, and in a few days the bank employes expect a rush. Rocky Mount Argonaut: We learn that hundreds of men in Nash, who expected to support the Third party, have abandoned the concern,-since the nomination made last Saturday. . This is but the beginning. Where is the man who would yote for Lunce Lord for the Legislature in preference to Nick Boddie? Of course they are ashamed of the . nomination, , and will not vote. the ticket, but, come back and support the . grand old party through which alone they can hope tor the reuet tney need and ought to haye RuleicrTi ' - JVmmt- Observer: " - The suggestion that the cornerstone' of the proposed Uon federate monu ment be laid during the Raleigh Centenial meetsjwith general favor, and indeed it seems to us that it would be eminently appropriate. It is entirely practicable and even in case .the funds for the entire monument are not raised by ,that time, there is no reason why the corner stone should not be laid then. It thh is determined upon and the fact is given general pub licty we doubt not that large bodies of troops from Maryland, Virginia, South Carolina and other Southern States, and certainly the - entire State Guard of North Carolina would come to honor the occasion.
