HASZARD & MOORE, SUNNYSIDE BOOKSELWERS CHABLOVDETOWN, | Price $350.00 | THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, OCTOBER 17 1898. THE DAILY BXAMINER OCTOBER 17, 1898. A DISOREDITABLE SITUATION | Tne readiness with which individuals and communities in the United States resort tothe use of firearms and the re- markable ideas of duty entetrained by some of the offisers o ftbe law are omi- pous signs of of the times, An _ illustra- tion has lately been offered by the bloody encounter at Verdin, Illinois. It appears that the proprietors of the principal mines in tne district, which are operated by the Chicago-Virden Coal Company, declined :o grant the 40-ceot scale de manded by the miners and a strike re» sulted, After allowing the miners to re- main ildle for some weeks, they made an offer to pay 28 centsa ton, and to employ 40 or 50 of theold miners if they desired to resume work, This was declined. The company then desired to import negro miners from Alabama, and asked Governor Tanner to send troops to pro- tect their arrival. This the Governor declined to do, characterizing the import+ ed men as ex-convicts. The company then sent this ultimatum to the Gorern- OF i= “We again give you notice that we are goicg to operate our mines, and we absolu- tely decline to assume any of the responei~ bilities that the laws of Illinois placed upon the Executive. The mob of armed men at Virden is awaiting the arrival of the men who are going to work there, with the avowed intention of assault and not de fence. Ouremploges sre not going to Virden to assault anyone, bnt are going to work. And in going, they are made fully acquainted with the conditions existing there, and if they are assaulted expect to evercise the same prerogative, distasteful though it may be, that was forced once upon a time, if bistory tells the truth, upoa the gentlemen pow in the Executivea chair at Springfield. This company and its employes are within the law, and shall stay within the law, and we shall expect everyright guaranteed by law. We are deal. {Dg with ap existing condition that just now will not admit of the discussion of tioas of sentiment as to trade unions, nor the commercial] fortunes of competitors, nor the political fortunes of any individual, The responsibilitiy of bloodshed will not be placed upon us.” que 8~ In accordance with this notice the com pany brought io atrainfulof negro min- ers and the dreadful bloody encu unter, al. ready reported ensued, The manager ofthe mines stated his opinion about the matter to a reporter as follows : “The blood of every man shed here is on the Goveroor’s head. He is absolutely outside of the law and has no jurisdiction whatever in refusing to send troops to pro- tect the men brought aere by us. His state-~ ment that the miner had the same right to fight for his property, which was his labor, as the mine owne~ did to protect his pro- perty, inspired these men to the action they took today in firing upon this train ae so0n a8 it came into our town.” The governor for his part says: “Since the mine owners have carried out their threats, influenced by avarice and gain, to precipitate this riot and bioodshed, I do not propose that they shal! further disturb the peace of the State. The mine owners and the managers are responsible for, and guilty of, the murder brought about by this conflict, and should be indicted by the grand jury for murder, as I believe they will be.” j And the Sheriff saye,— “I bave oo protection for foreign color- ed mioers who maycome into my county. There is not one out of twenty of the best citizens but thinks it wrong to bring thie kind of Jabour into the country, and they cannot be blamed. I further state tirat if it were possible for me to get them to go to Virden to make a fight to bring negro miners into the mines, and to eee some of our white members shot down like dogs for this kind of labour, I would prefer to resign. I bave done, and will do my dut7 as sheriff,as I understand it, but protect iwported miners I will not.” There is much comment, pro and cor, about this matter—the company and the law being apparently in the minority. In the meantime business at the mines is paralyzed while human }ife continues to be in danger, This situation, it will be admitted, is not creditable to the Siates. Such scenes and such official notions might be expected in Cuba, but not in the greatest and most enlightened of Repub» lies.

THE CRITIC CRITICISED. To the Editor of the Guardian, Sir,— Editors, like politicians, are fall- ible beings and hence are liable to mis« takes; and in the case under review both editor and politicians have erred, uncon sciously, perbaps,—erred not because tbey do not wieh well to teachers, but because they wish better tv, and are more desirous ot upholdiog the governing powers of the political party io which, they have given their allegiance, even if injustice to teachers must be done to Carry tais ont. Hence reason frequently gives place \o party feeling. lo supportof this arseriion permit me first vo advertto @ misstatement in your report of tbe proceedings of the Teachers Associativn a8 given ip Satur- day's Guardian. In reporting Mr, Kielly you say: “He theo made some cuarges regarding the graniing of licenses to party favorites.” “And you add ;: Super- intendent McLeod promptly refuted these charges.” ‘Lhe trarbis that Mr, McLeod cot only did not refute the charge, but he confessed that he had received an order fromthe Leader of the Government to issue, aod that be did issue, a license toa young man who was no entitled to receive it, and io whom Mr McLecd bad before rightly refused io grant licence. Mr Mc~ Leod did, however, venture the assertica that the matier was a very trifling one to make so much talk about! And this trom a gentieman who only a few short hours betore had lectured a public audience on the value of character in the teacher. Is characikr of no value to the leader of a government, toa politician, orto super- intendent of education? Why Mr McLeod came 80 promptly forward can ovly be guessed at—to iotorm the Association that the Leader ot the Government who com- mitted such an outrage on decency and public morality was not the present Pre. mier, for he assured as that the autocratic ex-Leader was not now in the Province But inasmuch as the Executive Couaci. principally constitutes the Board of Edu« cation, how comes it that it has sanc: oued euch 40 act On the part of the ex Pre- mier? Are not the other members of the Government quite as blume worthy ? And will the present Executive recsl! the licenee? ‘lalk about political corruption and scandal), eh? But what I want especially to notice i+ your leading editorial in this morniug’s Guirdian. Speaking ot the discussion rela:ive to the withdrawal of the supp meniary clause inthe Public Schools Ac youray—“The teachers came dangerously near to getting on party political ground.” Now, Ithiok it.may be fairly assumed that teachers are quite aS capable as editcrs of taking an inderenient ad non~ partizan view of mat.ers which affect the highest interests of the state; and if you c aim for yourself the right w be regarded as independent in politics, why do you deny to teachers that houvesty of purpose whicn you claim for yourself? Woy regard the discussion under review as partizan ? When were teachers to blame for the cat- ting away and theconeequent weakening of one of the piiiars which uphold our educational system? To censure a Liberal Government for wlleged wrong- doing, and to askfor “a commission of inquiry,” are, according to you, “very high ground to take.” It may be a; but let justice be done though the heavens fali! Also, this “commission of uquirog’ “on tke terms proposed” you Cuaracterize as such that no s8el{-respect- ing goverument could very well comply with.” Permit me to say that the sug- gestion for a commission of inquiry- came not from the teachers but from Xr. D A McKinnon, M. P. P., Pre- miet Farquabareon’s apparently taithful lieutenant. And how were the .memters of thiscommission to be be appointed ? The ‘leachere’s Association was to nomin~ ate one, the Governmenta second, and these two were to vamea third party. What, | ask, was there in such a request that “‘no self. respecting government couid very well compiy with”? Imay ad further that the resolution of censure, as you are pleased to characterize it- would iv all probability have been with~ drawn after the discussion had not Mr McKiono n adopted a role which no eelf; respecting geotleman or man of houor would for one moment bave thought of. You alsothink that it is no part of the teacher’s duty to dictate “tothe gov- ernment what the latter eball do in a mat~ ter of public policy.” In saying this you must assume that the public echool teach- ers of thie province have no public rights; that to them it matters not, Or should not be to them an affair of asy moment, what “the public policy” of a government may be! (The editor of the Guardian should ta! e ship for Ruesie!) Now if we iake this general statement of the Guardian and specialize it for the case in hanj, | would say tbat the «ditor and the teechers are at one; and this was th v.ry pith of the discussion, Premier Farquharson coutended that it was the duty of the teachers to point out to the government the ways aud means of meeting the diffi- culties and removing these from the way, while the teachers contention was that to find the ways and means was the business of the goveri:mont, as they alone are responsible to the people. Further, you state, ‘*‘what the teachers seem to have failed to give due weight to is that the provincial treasury is charged with the payment of a relatively jarger sum for the support of education tian in any other of the older provi.ces of Cavada.” Here again you are in error in your firet statement; and as respects your second statement, whilst ab-olutely correct it has a tendency to mislead. For one not acquainted with the circumstances it might readily be concluded that the teach~ ers of this province are much betier off than those of the older provinces. To be sure you do not in somavy words say 80; bat it One’e statements are put into such a@ form, as taking them in their nat« ural and evident meaning, they con- vey awrong impression, the writer is justly chargeable with a design which can not be regarded as honorable. we While the ; An teachers gave “due weight” to the fact which you complain they did not, they justly blamed the government for repeal~ ing the supplementary clause without enacting a law by which rate payers could be taxed to make up the deficieacy. In conclusion permit me toray that teachers are not averse to criticitm; but they ask, and are justly entitled to receive the couriesy, that their acts and eayings be faithfully represented . X.
