Civic disturbances, in the form of riots and lockouts, are signals, or evidences, to the inquiritng mind that there is something wrong somewhere in the administration of the government; for it is certain, peradventure, that so long as the self-evident rights of man are respected and maintained by the laws of any country, peace and prosperity will reign supreme, for there will be no need for political reform, and, with this object in view, it will be worth any effort we are capable of in aiding to bring about such a condition." .
