The papers included in this number of the Journal of Social Science are more than half of the Saratoga Papers of 1892. As some misapprehension may exist in regard to the publication of papers by the Association, it may here be said that all papers engaged for the General Meeting of the American Social Science Association are so engaged, with the understanding that they may be printed in the Journal of Social Science if the Council so decide. If, therefore, the writers choose to publish their papers elsewhere (to which the Council offers no objection), it must be with the stipulation that these papers may also be published in the Journal, at the option of the Council as to the time of publication. A list of all the Addresses and Papers for the meeting of 1892 was printed on pages v-vii of Journal No. XXIX. CONCORD, MASS., Oct. 25, 1892. ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION, 1892. HAS THE STATE ABDICATED? BY H. L. WAYLAND, d.d. There had been trouble brewing in an iron and steel manufacting town in Western Pennsylvania for weeks. There was no concealment, and in the end no surprise. At last, in the early morning, it was known that the Pinkertons were coming. You know the rest, how from two of the morning till evening five thousand men on either shore of the river were firing at the Pinkerton barges with guns and cannon, and the Pinkertons were replying, till the latter surrendered. This was not a riot. It was war. And the essential state of war continued for ten days. The war did not grow; but this was a happy accident. There was nothing to prevent its growing. Suppose the Pinkertons had been five thousand, and had had a fair chance, why should there not have been a battle of a week, with five hundred killed instead of twenty? There is force in the words of the great newspaper which is associated with the illustrious name of our eminent friend, whose serious illness every patriotic man, of whatever party, must deplore, Mr. Curtis: "It does not require an extraordinary flight of the imagination to fancy two of our great railroad corporations contesting the control of some district of territory, and employing two different private armies to win by force what cannot be won by peaceable means. And all this time the State did nothing. did arouse itself, the situation ceased. begin at the wrong end? When at last the State But did not the State A week or two later, much the same series of events was repeated in Idaho, in Tennessee, and in the State of New York, with the same prolonged silence of the State. In all these cases I am not at all speaking of the equities involved: I am only speaking of the State's inaction. Harper's Weekly. |
