While no good citizen viii throw obstruc-

that the reputation of public men should

this Grover matter the evidence is reason
ably conclusive that Stiles, the chief wit
ness against him, committed perjury. If
Stiles did not commit perjury, three or
four other witnesses did. 4 grand jury
thought there was evidence enough against
Stiles to warrant holding him for trial.
1t is to be desired that in this trial the
guilt of perjury will be fastened upon the
right parties, and that they will be pun

of Indians crossing the wagon road TO Mt

RADICAL PITrsBURG. - Pittsburg has
always been radical city, continually
voting TO sustain the party that has made
the times so hard and taken away from
the honest workingmen Of the land the
means of making decent living. She
vcted for the party whose rule has caused
the suspension of the industries of the
country and taken the bread out of the
mouths of the laborer and his family. She
voted for the party which declared that
the money used by the poor was not good
enough for the bondhoiders. She voted
for the party that used up the hard earned
taxes OF the people to sustain an army in
the south 20 force fraudulently elected
officials upon the country, and nov she is
beginning TO realize the fruits of her folly.
Her people VIII have 10 pay for all the
damage done to property during the great

PENNSYLVANIA STRIKES S-The strikes
lnger in Pennsylvania LONGER than in any
other part of the country, for the reason
that the miners, who are a rough crowd. .
have joined them On general principles
1t is probable that the MOilie Mcguire
element expects TO revenge itself in this
way upon the railroad management that
caused its exposure and punishment The
miners of that region are very peculiar
people They are in all respects hopeless
Iy and utterly untitled to participate in
the government under which they live,
being brutaily ignorant, lawless, ferocious,
disorderly and savage and uncivilized in
every respect. There is always more or
less trouble in the coal regions of Penn
sylvania with these men. They form a
community by themselves, and are prone
to resent unwelcome intrusion upon their
exclusiveness by numbering the INTRUDER
ofhand. 1t viii probably require several
rounds of ball cartridges TO bring these
riotersNto their senses, and all temporiz-
ing must be laid aside in dealing with
them, for they, Ike other savages, would
be sure TO mistake it for fear. OF course
they have really nothing in common WITH
the railroad men, who are d different or
der of beings, but they are always ripe for
a riot, and any excuse is good enough for
them.

TIE RUSSIANS DEFEATED. - There
seems a possibility that the campaign in
Asia is to be repeated in Europe. In Asia
the Russians stretched tn If forces over a
large extent of territory, carrying on
operations against different points az once,
and for time seemed to carry al before
them. But when their line was drawn
out thin enough to justify attack with the
forces under his command, the Turkish
General rallied his legiens and went to
work in earnest The result Is that the
Russian campaign in Asia IS substantially
failure. In Europe the Russians met
their first serious reverse at PleZna, on
the 30th and 31st of July A correspond
ent of the London Daily NetrS telegraphs
details which show that the battle was
brayely fought by the Russians, but IN
der conditions which hardly warranted q
hope Of success. The Turks were appar-
entity equal in force, strongly entrenched,
and well supplied with artillery. Still,
it was rather the repulse Of an attack up
on a fortified place than a victory in the
open field. The Russian reserves are be-
ing moved forward with great haste tore
inforce the defeated army, and as the
European battlefield Is nearer the base Of
supplies than the Asiatic, the depleted
divisions may be restored 10 their original
strength and the forward movement re-
sumed.

HAYES HAS EXPLAINED The president
Is said to have explained that his order
has been somewhat misunderstood it is
not proposed to prevent those holding
federal office from being members of their
political party and exercising all their
rights and privileges as electors, "but he
is determined to break up the pernicious
habit Of office holders devoting most of
their time to managing and controlling
nominations, conventions, etc, when they
should be engaged at their duties as pub
nc officials. He proposes that the order
shall be carried out in good faith, but does
not see why it should ante-date political
appointments already made. For instance,
number of office holders are members
elect of conventions to be held this sum-
mer or early fall They were chosen be-
fore these new civil service rules were
promulgated, and the chiefs of depart
meDts viii most assuredly use their dis
cretion in these particular cases"
