Labor Strikes,

PIlTsBURG, May 1.-Reports from
the railroad coal mines are meagre,
but enough has been received to in
dictate a general strike was inaugu-
rated to-day against a reduction of
one-half cent per bushel in the price
of mining on the Pan Handle roads.
Only four Of twenty-five pits are re-
ported to be at work on the Pennsyl-
vania road. All mines are idle On
the B. & O., and on the P. V. & c..
about half are out. One or two firms
are reported to have accepted the
strikers terms.
The demand of the cigar workers
for all advance of one dollar per
thousand is conceded by all manu-
fa%cturers. Consequently all the en-
ployes of four large establishments
were ordered out by the Cigar Max
ers' Union this morning. It is
thought the strike will not last a
week.
The plasterers all quit work this
morning because of the refusal of the
masters to pay an increase of so cents
per day.

manufacturers have acceded to all
of employees. No strike
will occur here, everything going on
as usual, except an increased activity
in all manufactures and a rush of
goods for shipment.

THE "TIMEs'" GROwL.

If the expressions of the London
Times as they appearin our dispatch
es of yesterday morning, are to be
taken as those of the English people,
there is more reason why the Irish
people should stand firmly by the
resolutions adopted by the Philadel-
phia convention. There is nothing
il those resolutions to which a people
who are disposed to be just to an
other, can take exceptions. They
recount wrongs endured by the Irish
people. The world knows they are
not unduly colored. They breathe
the spirit of a people thirsting for
liberty. Every true American &C.
sires they may enjoy it. They pro-
pose peAceable means to gain it and
the great mass of men living under
free institutions bid them God speed.
But the Times says: "They have
already convinced the rest of the
world that they are unfit to have
national independence. They must
be made to feel the strong
hand of the law" This Ian
guage so cold aud brutal,
so strongly smacking of an intoler-
ant, tyrannical spirit is enough to fire
the heart of every true Irishman in
the world. "They must be made to
feel the strong hand of the law"
says the Times. Have they not felt
for years? Has not that "strong
consigned some of the bright
est minds known to any land to a
doom? Has it not bowed
down and crushed into abject power
ty a warm-hearted, generous, liberty
people? What must the
Irish do to gain the good will of their
present masters? Must they become
still more abiect? Must they keep
sealed lips while the lash is piled
upon their backs: Must they even
here, IN free America, sti11e every
impulse of their nature and keep a
silence which would brand them as

About the funniest explanation we
have seen of the. Republican defeat
last fall is furnished by the Mime
apolis Tribune. It Gays: "The DEM
ocrats now discover that their organ
ization was simply used by dissatis-
fed Republicans as a switch with
which to discipline the Republican
party back into good order and its
accustomed efficiency" But it ap-
pears, in the light of the recent spring
elections, the Republicans haven't
let 60 that switch yet. They are
still using it, not ito discipline the
Republican party back into good or
der, ETC." but to drive the best men
of that organization into the Demo-
cratic party, where they stay. The
Republicans have permission still
further to use that switch. They will
not need it after next year, for the
reason there will then be no one left
in their party worth switching.

Sargent Still Being Scored,

MED he had written any article to
the New York Hdndels-Zeitung. on

the best answer to Sargent's state
ment therein is simply to reproduce
the article which appeared in Ham,

attached. Sargent should explain
how his signature appeared without
his protest or subsequent correction
from him. The Nord Deutsch lei
tung declares it will never attack a
minister of friendly state when he
is acting in his official capacity. 1t
has now only to deal with a news

Some time ago the Sheriff of New
York appointed q Chinaman az one
Of his deputies. Eastern sentimen-
talists went into raptures oyer the
appointment, and pointed to it as an
act of justice to the Monaghan race
which Pacific coast States could fol-
low with profit to themselves. But
recently it was discovered that the
enterprising''John" not only attend
ed to the duties assigned him, but
managed an opium den and q Chi
uese lottery game in direct defiance
of the law he swore to enforce. As
his appointment was made on &C.
count of his superior opportunities to
discover and sauelch these infringe
ments of the law, and as he had so
shamefully violated the confidence
reposed in him, he has been given

in order for lovers Of the heather to

rae as shown in their
dealings with the Mongolians.

a MYSTERIOUS Death

SAN FRANCISCO, May1.-A death
involving much mystery is just dis
covered. Lottie Hunslnger, a pretty
milliner, 20 years of age. suffering
from neuralgia, visited the Office of
Seth Cook, brother of the late mil
lionaire, Daniel Cook, for what pur-
nose is not known. While there
chatting with Cook she took up abot-
tie of DR.. Fowler's patent neuralgia
pills, and saying ooh, these will cure
my neuralgia" and swallowed a
number of them. After b~reakfasting
with Cook she complained of feeling
unweli, and died that evening: The
medical men called in failed to re-
port the case, as did also the Coro-
ner. A coffin was ordered, but be-
fore the funeral took place the atten-
ton of the police authorities was
called to it, and -coroner's jury re-
she died of pleurisy. This is
considered strange, and the matter is
under Investigation.

Freeman the Adventist.

BARNsTABLE, Mas, May L.
Freeman, who a few years ago, in a
fit of fanaticism, killed his child and
had since been in the lunatic asylum
and now pronounced sane, was
placed on trial to-day for the crime.
Freeman appeared in his own behalf.
.Fonr years ago he was insane. When
the act was committed, he believed he
was doing Gods will. Two years
afterwards it occurred to him that it
was an insane act. He never evaded
the law of the land but thought he
should obey God rather than man.
He had not in his own estimation,
been insane for II months. At least
he fully believed his religious expert
ences had done for him all they
could. If granted a discharge he
would accept the first honorable posi-
ton offered that would enable him to
support his family. Freeman was
then arraigned on an indictment of
murder and pleaded not guilty.
Judge Colburn authorized his re-
moval from the asylum to the Barn.
stable jail to await further action.

AN INDEPENDENT.

Really there can be no such person
as an Independent in politics. It is a
misnomer. A man may have no
politics in which case he is simply
without political convictions and
represents nothing unless it be igno-
rance. Politics breeds active, earnest
workers for a principle. It is not the
father of Independents. Politics
bands men together in a common
cause for a common object. An inde-
pendent is a free lance in the politi-
cal battle field. He knows neither
friends o enemies, in a political
sense, and acknowledges no al
legiance to party. A party, accord
ing to Burke's definition is, IA body
of men united for promoting by their
joint endeavors the national
interest upon some particular prin-
ciple in which they are all agreed"
An independent is a law unto him.
self. He spends his force without
aim and is as liable to strike down
the good as he Is the bad. He has ne
sympathy for a partisan and a parti-
san should extend him none. AS an
office seeker lie is most inconsistent.
He represents no political principle
ana yet would seek the support of
those who are bound by party obliga-
lions to emphasize their principles
by their votes. He is a political
fit only to be slaughtered
at the general roundup of parties for
the common good. And such is his
fate when he is found upon the polit-
ical range in an attempt to feed at
the public crib.

the very highly sensational reports
regarding the condition of the poor

The Tobacco Industry.

LYNcHBURG, Va, March There
is the greatest movement in manu-
featured tobacco here to-day ever re-
corded in the history of the city.
Nearly $50, 600 of stamps were issued
and thirty-six a loads Of tobacco,
aggregating about $4,000 pounds,
were shipped to various points. One
firm shipped 10000 pounds. But
for the damaging strike of operatives
shipments from this point would
have exceeded one million pounds.
The cigar manufactures are all
closed to-day on account of the strike
of cigar makers. The increased
schedule of prices submitted to the
manufacturers are accepted but the
latter resent the attempt of the cigar
makers union to regulate the employ
ment of apprentices.

TIE GIEDED NICKEL.

In a recent trial in San Francisco
before Judge Hoffman and ajury, in
the United States Supreme Court, on
an indictment charging a certain
person with attempting to pass q
gilded nickel for a S. piece, the Judge
held that if the defendant knew the
true value of the coin, and tried to
pass it as another coin, he is guilty of
counterfeiting. In the course of his
charge to the jury he said that a re-
semblance Of the piece to q IS coin
gave an opportunity to pass it upon
the unwary. The question was is it
a crime to gild a nickel and to try
and pass it. as a S. piece on the ground
that ie is not a counterfeit. The
court must instruct that an attempt
to pass . coin for not what it pro-
fesses to be is q crime when its APP
pearance has been changed by a pro-
cess of gliding. Quidnuncs had
succeeded in raising treasury notes,
or altering their denominations, and
that has been held to be passing
counterfeit money. This is as much
passing counterfeit money as in the
case Of greenbacks. The court can
not hold that it is no crime to gid a
nickel and pass it as five dollars in
coin. As to weight, size, color, ETC.,
as in the case of a spiel mark, the
law was not made to protect bank
ers, brokers and other experts, but
those who are not judges of coin.
The law says that a counterfeit is
that made in the similitude of genu-
inc coin. That similitude which
will deceive is therefore within the
provision of the law. This decision
will likely discourage many enter
but impecunious gentlemen
rom attempting to deceive tho un-
'uspecting with the gilded coin.
Still, as eternal vigilance is the price
If liberty, it may also be worth four
dollars and ninety-five cents to the
lnwary by practlcing it.
