take this opportunity Of informing
miners through the columns ~ yonr pa
per how times are at present, and have
been for some time past at this place
The sand Creek Coal Company mines
have been shut down the greater part Of
the summer. They started up in August,
and worked about half time, but are at a
stand still since September l. The coal
company say they have plenty Of demand,
and blame the railroad company for not
giving them empty cars, but to Judge from
appearances, think it is want Of trade,
and they want to keep the men around so
that when the demand gets good miners
will be too eager to get work after the
hard times, they will be able to keep
them at low prices all winter, by reason Of
their poverty but they may give up any
such idea. for We will look after our share
of any advance which may take place in
the market.
The rest Of the mines in this vicinity
are working about half time, and we all
are connected with the Miners National
Union.

The SITUATION. We have to report but
little change in trade since our last report,
and even that little is not in our favor.
Trade can well be compared to a GONZALES
cent who has had very exhaustlng dis
case. To-day he may feel and look better,
only to be worse tomorrow, and 50 con
tinue for weeks and months. 1t is Just 50
with the foundry business-a slight rally
is followed by greater depression, and
the end is not yet. Once more we urge
our members to look forward to the com
ing winter as even worse than the last,
and make their preparations accordingly.

nine days. The scabs were i'll their glory !;
they had the shops sure they began to
put on airs but their jubilation did not
extend to the firm, who saw with dismay
that they had put their foot in it. They
had discharged class of workmen not ex-
celled in the country, and had got in their
places lot Of things who knew almost as
much about stove-plate as the stove knew
about them. Though the spirits Of the
firm sunk considerably, they kept a stiff
upper lip, with the hope that the Union
men would give in but they should have
known better. Finally, thecommittee was
sent for and an amicable arrangement
made. The men are to be paid in full ev-

Smiths GubernatoriaI Claim.

Arkansas Radicals are desperate, il
logical, and withal stiff-necked peo-
pie. The results ofthc recent elections
are quietly accepted and, as gracefully
as may be, acquiesced in by Northern
and Western Republican leaders, be-
cause these men know that the express
sed will of the people means something
Arkansas Radicals have been reared in
a very different school of politics, and
are wholly unable to discover any sig
nificance in the overwhelming vote
which the people of Arkansas have cast
against them or in the ominous and full
voiced reproof which the people of the
country at large have passed upon
their reckless schemes of anarchy and
oppression. The preposterous claim
laid to the Governorship of Ar
kansas by man named Smith, lately
Lieutenant Governor of the State, is
the climax of the revolutionary plot
concocted by Clayton and Morton in
their famous conference at the Hot
Springs last summer. But it is cxcee-
dinghy unfortunate for Mr.. Smith and
his accomplices that they virtually ac-
cepted as valid the legislative action
which they now assert was invalid
The full Republican vote was cast
against the new constitution under
which Governor Garland entered upon
the duties of his office, If the constitu-
ton were legally submitted to the peo-
pie, why did the Republicans trouble
themselves about voting against an in
stument which, even ifadopted, would
be made imperative According to
the census Of 1870 the negro population
of Arkansas is 122, 100, and the white
population 1862, 115-just three times as
large as the negro population. The
vote against the new constitution was
"a, S07, and the vote in its favor Il, ,G97,
Allowing one voter to every four or
five of population, it is seen that these
figures represent the full vote of the
State, black and white and, indeed,
the total vote of 103, ,504 cast on the
18th of October, when the new consti-
tuition was adopted and Governor Gar
land elected, was the largest ever poll
ed in the State. The election was so
iairly conducted and passed off so quiet
ly that no Radical has been foolish
enough to think of contesting it on the
ground of unfairness or violence. The
best case the conspirators can drum up
is bubble about ''informality" in the
manner of propounding the Constitu-
ton elsewhere than in Kansus. A po-
pular majority Of fifty odd thousand
would be accepted as conclusive against
quibble out OF which nothing can be
made. But Grant and his Attorney
General have taught these fellows
many lessons which, for their own
good, they cannot make too much haste
| to unlearn.

Rougii OF, II Morse Thief.

A despatch from Troy, Mo-, says that
while n posse of four men were taking Il
horse thief named League from Auburn
to that place, they were attacked by four
masked meH,who shot League in the
back, and then took him from the posse
and tied him to horse. The horse took
fright and galloped through the woods, q
mob following and firing at League, who
also had his clothes torn from him and
was terribly laceratcd by the brush. He
was subsequently rescued by the posse,
and his wounds were not considered IA
tai; but he was conveyed to house
near the place where he was captured,
from which it was feared he would be
taken and hanged by mob that night.

Sunday Amusements and the Pulpit.

NEW YoRK, November 1o.-The
question of Sunday amusements in this
city is producing great excitement
among the theatre and concert mana
gers, and clergymen as well as the re-
ligious public, and the newspapers
TEEN with communications pro and
con on the subjecs. Among the dis
tinguished divines whose opinions
have been ELECTED is Archbishop Nc
Closkcy. He says :-'I am opposed
to what is generally regarded as the
Sunday evening concert, and while
not very puritanioal of domineering,
oppose the sensational drama which
advertises itself under the name of sa-
cred concerts, but which is nothing
more than tho ordinary week day
show. / do not object TO entertain

n nts Of any kind which tend to
draw people from the church, and
which have the influence of rendering
our Sabbath Partisan and European.

Another Southern Voice of Peace.

The admirable utterances of General
recent great political victory, and the
equally admirable address upon the
same occasion of the Democratic Com
mittee of Alabama, are thus eloquently
echoed by General Beauregard, of Louis
lana, in a letter to a friend in this city :;
Before answering your letter, allow
me to congratulate you. and through you
the great State of New York, for the gall
liant manner in which you have come to
the rescue of republican institutions,
for the fate of VIII ch / was calmly appre-
hensive. As to old Massachusetts,. we
are astonished and delighted beyond ex-
preston at her grand rally to the cause
of freedom. Her people have shown them
selves worthy descendants of the heroes
of the "tea party" and of Bunker Hill.-
May they never flag in their determine
tion to rid the country of unworthy pub
lie servants.
'It will be q blessing to the North, MS
well rs to the South, that our evils have
at least been understood. With good
government the South, reviving rs a
great producing and C, ,,nsuming country
will revive also the besnumbed industry
and trade of the Nortll. Let us have trne
peace, and with it prosperity"
Thus speaks one of the bravest and
most distinguished soldiers whom the civ,
il war made famous on either side of thai
unhappy conflict. We commend his man
ly and patriotic words TO the attention oi
theilli informed through well-meaning pee
pie who have persuaded themselves lntt
the wild notion that the Southern people
really prefer ruin to prosperity, chaos t(
order, and hell to heaven.

Queen Victoria.

The late canard about the death OF Queen
Victoria aud the effects produced by that
event in the British capital are now declared
TO be a monstrous invention "made out OF
the whole CLOTH" Americans were relieved
TO find the story contradicted almost as soon
as 1t was uttered. Victoria, born in 1919, re-
presents long lived race. George Ill, her
grandfather, died in his sd year. Her
uncles also lived long. George IV. died at
the age of 68; the Duke of York at GA; vii.
liam Nv. at II; Ernest, King OF Hanover, at
so; the Duke OF Sussex at 70, and the Duke
OF Cambridge at 76. Her mother attained
the age of 70, dying in 1861. The Duke of
Kent, her father, smitten by fever, died in
January, 1920, at the comparatively early
age of 63. Queen Victoria herself was So
years old on the 9th of last May. PriAce
Albert, OF SAKE Coburg- Gotha, who died in
December, 1851, was exactly Six months her
Junior.

Mr.. KIRK:-In looking over the Com
merc'at Of November I'd, / find the fol-
lowing telegram:
DOVER, Del, Nov. 2, 1874.
a letter appears in last weeks Delaloa-
reaH, written by d. c. Hoffecker, of Lein.
SIC, IN which am charged with saying
thao y crank with Mr. James X. Lofand,
1 denounce the above charge as an abso-
lutte talsehood, never having seen Mr..
hofiand so drink, let alone drinking with
him. JAMES KIpns1 Ks WI"
Let facts be submitted to a candid
world; wherefore l propose to institute
Il comparison between the above state
ment and the following authorized and
duly authenticated statement of William
freeston, who is perfectly willing to sub
sstantlate the language OF Mr.. Jas. Kirk
icy IN the statement below, to which Mr..
treestons name is appended, ,,nder oath,

STATEMENT.
A few days after Mr.. Jas. r. Joaand's
speech appeared in the Wilmington Con,-
nlercadt, happened up to Mr.. Jas. Kirk
ley S new house, which is now being COM
pieted. The persons present were James
Airkley, DAVID johnson, Joseph Brinton
anu niyse!f. In the course of our con-
versatlon Mr.. Lofland's speech was men
TONED. l remarked that it was too bad
Tor hlm to say that he had drank moth
ing stronger than water for seven years,
for, said |, heard Charley Taylor say,
myself, that he drank with j. Il. Lofland
at Camden Camp Meeting this year, and
it was not water. Whereupon Mr.. Jas.
hlrkley instantly replied, II know'd it
was d-lt lie, for have drank with him
myself. No other name was mentioned.
The SUBJECT OF conversation was Jas. X.
Lofand and his speech. The impression
made upon my mind was that j. X. Lof-
land was the identical man with whom
he says he drank. Mr.. Johnson and Mr..
Brinton were likewise impressed
WILLIAM FREEsToE.
Comment is hardly necessary. vet n
few words will not be impertinent on
this occasion. Doubtless the good old
prophet, Isaiah, had heard whole fami-
lies talk just like ''Jeems," when he de-
nounced their fruitless struggle to find a
subterfuge, by saying, For the bed is
shorter than man can stretch himself
on 1t; and the covering narrower than
that q man can wrap himself in IT,"
Will "Jeems" come down the tree at
OF ce? L don't want to put in a "big
load" to shoot a Crippled duck"
