The Buffalo-Strike.
The destruction of property by fire
and otherwise in the Buffalo yards of
the Lehigh Valley Railway is another
, indication of the confusion of ideas
which seems to characterize the leaders
of modern labor organizations. The
strike of the switchmen, which was
scarcely a day old, was declared on a
- dispute about wages and hours of labor.
It had not existed long enough'to dem-
onstrate whether it would prove a suc-
cess or a failure—hardly long enough
for the parties to the dispute to hold a
conference if they had been so disposed
—before the burning and wrecking be:
gan. While there is no positive proof
that the strike leaders ordered or par-
ticipated in the riotous and destructive
demonstrations,there is no well inform-
ed person who can be led to believe that
this series of fires would have taken
place if there had been no strike, or
that the railway company set fire to
their own property or wrecked their
own cars and water tank. -
The effect of these‘riotous manifesta-
, tions must of necessity be fatal to the
cauQ of the strikers. No intelligent
workman would expect anything else.
When the demands of strikers, no mat-
ter how just in themselves, must be en-
forced by violence, that moment the
strikers’ cause becomes hopeless, In-
cendiarism and railroad wrecking are
crimes and the men who engage in
them are criminals in the eyes of the
law and subject to the penalties of the
All the agencies of the law and
she powers of the government, both
civil and military, must be invoked for
the protection of the property of the
railways and the lives of those they car-
.ry, and, that means victory for the rail-
ways and defeat for the strikers.
This is so obvious that it irresistibly
leads to the conclusion, says the Phila-
delphia Times, that the Buffalo strike,
like many others that have gone before
' it, is dominated by feieigneis and not
by Americans. I iclence and law- break-
ing me un-American. Respect for law
is the corner-stone of American liberty,
and our American-trained citizens in-
hale i: with the air they breathe. The
maintenance of our American system of
government depend: upon the cultiva-
tion and perpetuation of this principle,
as every sincere American clearly un-
derstands. Rioting, incendiarism and
other forms of disorder which accom-
pany labor disputes are clearly a for
eign importation.
If labor organizations do not divorce
themselves from all foreign agitators,
with their loose notions of the suprem-
acy of law, the days of labor organiza-
tions in the Uhited States are number-
ed. All the interests of the American
people, industrial, social, religious and
educational, must, with the common
instinct of self-preservation, combine
against disorder and violence and those
who incite or abet either. Strikes may
be justifiable; riot's, incendiarism and
other forms of violence against persons
and property, never. If striking work-
ingmen at Buffalo or elsewhere want a
ghost of a chance for a hearing or Sym-
pathy they must retire their alien law-
breokers and show themselves on the
side of law and order. Any other course
not only insures the failure of any strike
in which violence is employed, but en-
dangers the very existence of labor or-
ganizations. ReSpect for law and the
rights of persons and property must be
maintained at any cost in a government
like ours.
The highest duty that confronts the
public authorities is promptly to “sup-
press any attempt at lawlessness.
In this, as in every contest between
employer and employee, strikers have
everything to gain by a firm adherence
to lawful and peaceful means. They
have everything to lose by a resort to
violence.
Lawlessness in a strike is more than a
crime. It is a blunder. It is more than
an offence against society. It is suici-
dal to those who engage in or counte-
nance i
No body of strikers can hope to carry
To make such an
accorded law-abiding strikers and all
claims to popular sympathy; it is to
run against the authority of the State,
supported it necessary by the military
- power of the nation.
“ We ought to win and must win if
there is any justice in public opinion, ”
‘ says Grand Master Sweeney. If the
strikers value the good opinion of the
public they must ever bear in mind that
it can be won only by a law-abiding
course and must be forfeited by any
.show of disorder.

DRIVEN TO A CONFESSION.
Peckham Says His Conscience Troubled
Him So That He Could Keep'the
Terrible Secret No Longer.
He Is Now In Jail.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 19.—Charles E.
Peckham, of Central Village, Westport,
Mass, Walked into the central police sta-
tion and said to Assistant Marshal Fleet:
“Well, Mr. Marshal, I killed Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew J. Borden, and I have come from
home to give myself up. I went over the
back fence and through the rear door of the
Borden house two weeks ago today, and I
killed both of those people out of pure love
for blood.
“I went out the rear door and over the
back fence and walked over the New Bed-
ford road home. I’m the murderer and I
want to be locked up. ”
The marshal took him to the cellroom
and searched him. 'He found a pocketbook
with a few receipts in it and also unearthed
some official communications from the Rus-
sian bureau at Washington.
Peckham is sixty-two years of age, about
5 feet ,6 inches tall and has a thin gray
beard. He says he leases a farm from Ed-
mund Davis. The police have started to
hunt up his relatives or friends. The police
think he is insane.
Death at the First Blow.
When asked why he committed the crime
Peckham said he had good reason for doing
it, which he did not care to state. Mr. Fleet
asked him what clothes he wore and he re-
plied that he wore the same that he had on.
He was asked if they Were not spotted with
blood and he replied no; there were no. spat-
ters because the first blow caused death
and stopped the heart’s action.
He said he struck the other blows by way
of precaution. He then told the deputy
marshal that he expected no sympathy and
wanted to be held. He had borne the
knowledge of the crime as long as he was
able and now wanted relief of mind. Dep—
uty Marshal Fleet further questioned him
regarding various particulars of tragedy
and he answered in a coherent manner.
Immediately afterzhe was locked up Mr.
Fleet telephoned the mayor of New Bed-
ford for particulars about Peckham. The
mayor replied that he knew him very wed
and that he was in some ways an eccentric
person, but was never thought to be insane.
He said that Peckham leased a. small farm
from the Davis estate in VVestport, situated
a few miles out of the city of New Bedford.
Mr. Fleet also communicated by telephone
with Andrew J. Jennings, attorney for Liz-
zie Borden. Mr. Jennings replied that he
wished to see the prisoner.
Consul Ryder Deposed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ‘19.—Henry B. Ryder,
of Copenhagen, now under arrest for em-
bezzlement and forgery, has been deposed.
Mr. William Harrison Bradley, of Illinois,
now consul at Nice, has been ordered by
cable to proceed to Copenhagen and to
