New YORK, May s.--over 10000
people visited the scene at the ex.
plosion in Jersey Guy yesterday. TIE
absence of dangerous injury to any
person is something wonderful.
when the riddled houses in the
ueighborhood are seen. Many bricks
were hurled through wallis within
ten feet Of the eleepers' heads. The
police have tailed to trace anything
that leads them 10 suppose the s,rik
ers were the perpetrators OF the
deed. The opinion Is becoming
general that spontaneous combustion
was the cause. The damage. winch
is still ouiy guessed AT, consists
chiefly of broken glass and the
wreck OF valuable articles.

Miners Societies.

The telegraph wires have lately
been burdened with news from the
coal fields of Ohio, recountiag how
the strikers have stricken terror into
the hearts of the managers and ia
one or two cases perpetrated actual
violeuce upon those employed t.
take their places. Ii was found nee
eSsary 10 eail out the militia, and we
are significantly told that the State
forces are thought TO be sufficient, to
maintain quiet, The wors, thing TIE
strikers did was TO sci mine on Are
in a moment of evaporation and I'M
comfortable spite. BY doing so they
not only destroyed means of en-
pioymeni and thus inflicted All in
jury upon themselves, but sacrificed
50 much valuable property as to
amount almost TO public calamity.
They no doGb. thought they had a
right 10 DO this In retaliation FOR
wrongs done them. They have long
maintained an organization that has
been mutually beneficial 10 the en-
pleyey aud employed. A rebellion
now and then breaks out between
master aud servant, when some sac
rihces have to he made in order 10
show power and determination on
the part Of the miners. The firing
of the mine on the I'd inst. by forty
masked men was no doubt done To
LET the stubborn masters see that
they had to deal with men in awful
earnest IN order that right may
come uppermost injuries sometimes
have To be inflicted. 1t is SO with
all bodies Of men Joined together by
the strong ties Of common interest,
and 50 even with governments. No
nation has risen to position of rec
ognized power and authority that
has not III the struggle upward
sacrificed countless numbers of its
people in warfare. The United
States are more strongly bound to-
gether since than they we're before
the war, because il has been proved
that the central government is
strong enough to maintain unity,
This proof could never have been
reached without actual trial and sore
sacrifice. SO With the strikers in the
coal mines. They have TO do some
resolute things on occasion, albeit
sometimes somewhat out of reason.

Yosthfal Rsnaas,

The San Francisco hoodlum 10
coming more prominently into no
lice every day. Recently . crowd
Of biz kind who belong to che odor-
ems PRECINCTS Of Butchersown took
possession Of a street car, insnlted
the passengers and scared the driver
into docile obedience. The driver
declared subsequently that be had
been in the habit OF letting hood
lums have their own way, as he
was powerless TO put them down,
aud the conductor said that for his
part he seldom tried to collect fares
from them, for il he did so, he
wonld only be abused and NAL
treated. The company owning the
line had also taken in the situation.
and actually paid tribute to this
lawless class in the way of giving
them free rides because they saw no
way TO ge. ont Of it Our dispatches
from the city published in our last
issue recount how band Of them
made an attack upon the 1,0l2
Cinnamon Who arrived on the last
steamer from Asia. Notwithstand-
ing that large force of police were
posted on the line of march from
the steamer landing to Chinatown,
the mob would have inflicted seri-
Gus injury upon the immigrants but
for prompt and determined action
on the part of the officers. 1t is
easy to see why the hoodlum is an
tagopistic in dangerous degree to-
ward the Chinaman. The latter
fills all the avenues of employment
usually occupied by boys and girls
East and in European countries.
They do all the light work in shops
and houses, and the youngster is
even denied the opportunity of
learning trade. What under such
circumstances is he to do? Mani.
testify nothing but go to the bad i,
which he does by the most direct
route. We are compelled, then, to
excuse in measure his throwing #
lime mortar into the eyes OF the
Mongolians, but when he turns his
meanness toward his own kind and
becomes dread in certain locali-
ties CT the city, the matter seems to
call for strong measures of correc-
ton. Perhaps il would be well for
those imposed upon to adopt the
frontier style of self-desense and
pour in a little wholesome lead
amongst them. The evil can never
be corrected without some sacrifices,
anu the time for such seems fully to
| have arrived.
