The Miners Revolt.

The struggle between the mine proprietors
and their workmen in Pennsylvania threatens
TO degenerate into an instruction. BY the
latest accounts the miners were marching
through the troubled districts, compelling the
workingmen to join with them in lawless and
violent demonstrations against the capitalists.
If this unwise course is persevered in the in
reference OF the State authorities for the pro-
lection of life and property becomes newt
able. Whatever grievances the miners
NAV have to complain of, their course of pro-
ceeding is not calculated to win for them pub
lie sympathy. They have a most undoubted
right TO refuse to work at an in
sufficient rate of remuneration, but they
cannot claim the right to compel the
capitalists to accede to their demands by the
use Of violence. Ia depriving themselves of
popular sympathy and support they leave
themselves more than ever at the mercy of
their enemies. Only men blinded by passion
and urged on by stupid and unprincipled
demagogues could think of adopting such
measures as n means Of redress. In ordinary
cases the public authorities in this country
stand apart in ali quarrels between labor and
capital; but when one of the parties under
takes to break the law the whole power of the
nation is ready to maintain the majesty of the
law and protect the rights of the citizens from
the assault OF lawless mobA

to revival Of business by On increased ex-
portation Of grain. So long as wheat can be
exported at all the higher the price of gold
the greater the price in currency which the
farmer receives for his wheat. If gold were
at 200 the farmer would receive two dollars
in currency for every dollar of the gold value
of his grain, and he could iquidate his mort
cages at corresponding advantage. We
therefore regard the gold speculation in Wall
ness, which need not be considered in gen.
eral estimate of business prospects.
We do not choose to go, at present, into an
analysis ofthe commercial situation. Nojudg-
ment can be trustworthy which is founded
on exceptional cases, and several of the cities
whose business men We have interviewed are
in an exceptional condition. We will instance
New Orleans for illustration. That city
is not sample of the general condition
OF the country. Quite aside from the political
troubles of which it has been the theatre
there are ineligible explanations of the de-
cline of its business. 1t has been tapped by
the railroads which connect points above it on
the Mississippi with the Atlantic coast, carry
ing off considerable portion OF the cotton
trade which centred at New Orleans when it
monopolized that branch of trade in the
regions tributary to the Mississippi When
the only communication of Memphis with the
outside world was by water all the cotton
gathered there was necessarily sent to New
Orleans but great part Of it now goes by
rail to Char lesion for shipment to foreign
ports. 1t would, therefore, be absurd to draw
any conclusion as to the general state of bust
ness from the condition of trade at New
Orleans.

THERE Is SOME EXCITEMENT in Chicago
about sending an editor to jail for contempt
of court. The reasons for the action Of the
Judge are not apparent, and until we hear
them we cannot express an opinion. At the
same time we cling to this wholesome rule
that an editor who libels a citizen should be
punished that when he outrages the
law he should be subject to Its PEN
al.ies, and that there is no can't
moro pernicous and absurd than what
we constantly hear about the elderly of the
press" The press does not want ''liberty,"
but justice, and editors who ask for any spe-
cial privileges or immunities are simply beg.
CARS, who claim what they do not deserve.

Foreign Nations md tho Centennial.
The declaration of the Due Decazes in the
French Assembly, in reference to the Centen-
NAL, will be read with interest and gratifca-
ton. The Due said, in answer to question,
that ''the work had his entire sympathy, and
measures would be taken to promote it in
every possible way" When the Assembly
met again vote would be asked, giving a
grant enabling France to make an appropriate
display in our Exhibition Building. The fact
that the head of the French commission should
be descendant of the lllustrious Lafayette
makes this reply of the Due Decazes espo-
cially grateful to Americans. 1t is new
evidence of the friendship which France has
always felt for our Republic.
Thus far foreign governments have taken
greater interest in the Centennial movement
than many of our own States. The English
House Of Commons recognized it publicly and
officially, and the English Ministry in ask
ing for vote, said that this will be
the last exhibition in which England will take
an official part. All the countries of Europe,
with the exception of Russia have expressed
their intention of appearing officially at our
Centennial Exhibition. Those who under
stand what these exhibitions have been can
well understand the magnitude and the gran
deur of the display that will represent the
riches and industry and taste of these great
Powers. From England, France, Germany
we shall have manifestations of industries that
may well excite the admiration and, we trust,
the emulation of our own people. In no past
eyhi btion has America shown what it really
can do. In France, in 1867, our display was
fair enough, bat nothing compared to that of
other nations. Our explanation was that we
had an ocean to cross, and therefore we could
not do what we desired. At Vienna our USE
fitness was destroyed by scandal and mis-
management, and we had nothing but q
beggarly array of sewing machines and cases
of false teeth. But now we ask foreign nations
to come into our own land, to enter into
rivalry with us on our own soil, to compete
with US in our machinery, our manufactures,
our industries. We have long boosted the
supremacy of American enterprise and skill.
If it exists now is the time to show it.
What we should like TO see IN the Centennial
is every State fully represented, not by the
scattering efforts of a few public spirited cih-
zens, but by combination judgment and dis
cipline. When the foreigner comes to Phila-
delphia he should be able to 90 from State TO
State through he Exhibition Hall, and learn
in a days journey what foundation there is
Tor the boosted greatness and wealth of
America. Above all things, what will New
York do? What display shall we make to
compare with France and England? Here
we are, State as large as many kingdoms,
rich in every form of wealth, the empire Of

In another column we print letter from .
friend of Mr. Carruth, the Vineland editor,
recently shot by Mr.. Lands, which letter is
written professedly to give ''the other side of
the story'--to put the painful subject before
the public in the light in which it appears to
the journalist and those who sympathze with
him in dislike of Landis In such O letter we
might expect to find the justification, if there
is any, Of Carruth's course in assailing week
after week resident of the town in which his
paper was printed and dragging domestic OF
other properly private topics into public dis.
cussion. ALI the justification that appears,
however, is that Carruth considered Landil
guilty of general humbuggery." He mada
himself the mouthpiece of all the discontents
of the community. Every man who had
bought piece of land and built house and
afterward grew tired of his bargain naturally
held lands responsible for the results of his
own shortsighted haste, and perhaps uttered
his ill-will loudly at oil the corners; and all
this was gathered up, treasured and Illuminated
in Carruth's columns. General humbug-
gerry" on the part of lands justifes Carruth'a
acts as little as those acts justify Lands, and
the friends of Carruth do not put much faith
in such justification. They depend on the
straightforward New Jersey laws, and conf.
IDENTIFY anticipate that lands will be hanged
if Carruth dies. But if Carruth dies now
surgical testimony will figure very largely
in the trial, and We have seen it happen
that o multitude of surgeons were
more useful to man in Court than in
the hospital. Carruth holds on to life
very tenaciously, and seems likely to es.
tablsh the fact that the wound given was
not necessarily fatal wound. He might
wound, or by immediate hemorrhage, or by
Inflammation consequent on the wound, and
he may yet die from secondary hemorrhage,
the result of the opening of some large artery
by sloughing in the track of the bullet. All
the possibilities here involved may vary
greatly, as constitutions are different, and also
as doctors are different, and out of them and
out Of the surgical and medical opinions that
come in the lawyers can beat up dust enough
to trouble the vision of any jury. 1t may be
sarily fatal, and that it had an accessory in
causing death. which accessory would be the
want of skill of the practitioner. If the trial
comes to this point. as it certainly will il
Carruth dies, the case of lands will be all
the stronger for the tact that the wound was
treated by homeopathic practitioner to tho
exclusion of great surgeon.
