Show Till) GATI.ING GTN" FOR MOBS. It was a quick harvesiug of blood that followed fol-lowed the 'tempting talk and infamous seed sower at the people's convention in Omaha this week. Yesterday, the rivers in Pennsylvania run crimson aud the beatcu ways of industry wcre filled with crazed women and red-handed red-handed men shrieking for blood and revenure. An aroused thirst for blood, whether in man or beast, is terrible in its outburst. There seems no way to quell such an eruption erup-tion but by counter blood-letting. The history his-tory of mobs, shows that such curitive bloodletting, blood-letting, to be effective, must be short, sharp and decisive. That cruel and vindictive anti-draft mob which ruled New York city . . and state even in the person of Governor Set-' Set-' $Knn until yaptain Putnam of the regu.Hr - army took it in hand and, giving " tlie ringleaders no quarter, shot and hurled the skulking murderers of women and children from their cover till he had made clean work for a number of squares and the liends in human shape lied to the dens from which they came. All day long yesterday the cowardly authorities au-thorities allowed the butchery to go on unchecked, un-checked, flags of truce to be shot down repeatedly, re-peatedly, and finally when the helpless and exhausted guards gave up their arms and themselves they were bruised and battered well nigh to death by the blood-crazed aud brutal mob that lined their march. Their barge was burned to the waters edga aud Ihc disarmed Pixkertuxs are in custody. ! Already committees of investigation are called for in congress, and indignation meetings are the rule among the howling mischief-makers of Ihc slums. Where the tar:-ass is the vultures will gather. First let this nation put down mob rule, t.ct the . (Jailing gun play the prelude which shall clear the streets, save valuable life and protect property. Let every proved indictment agaiust an aider or in abettor of mob or lynch law be deprived of sutlragc. Let us begin at the fountain i:;:i e'eanso the f.nilcst of the stench.
