THE STRIKING MINERS.
They Go the Rounds With Kegs OF Beer
On Their Shoulders-MOre
Trouble Feared.
Sr. LOUIS, Nav %.

ST. Louis, Nav 20.
The striking miners in ST. Clair county,
having driven away the men who are willing
to work. the mine owners telegraphed the
governor for assistance, who replied that he
would give it when needed. IL is not likely
that an attempt will be made by the mine
owners to resume operations until next week.
A Post Despatch special from Collinssille,
Ills, says the situation todayis more strained
than yesterday. Not mine of the Vandalia
Railroad between East ST. Louis and Troy
is in operation all are closely watched by
the strikers. Last night Mayor Stevens or
dered all saloons closed at O'Clock, and
swore in force of fifty Deputies, as drunk
enness increase among the miners. Eigh-.
teen or twenty shots were fired at about mid
night. At two o'clock this morning, 800
striking miners assembled near the Abby
mines. They ascertained that the men who
were driven off yesterday had not returned
and they detailed 80 men to remain to see
that no attempt was made to start up. Some
200 started east on the railroad track and a
picket was left at No. ,. When Collins
vile was reached, they were told that no
attempt at work would he made today. They
then started for the Confidence and Troy
mines. A conspicuous feature Of the pro-
cesson was that half dozen carried kegs of
beer upon their shoulders. NJ work Was
going on at the Conf lence mine, hut the
strikers became suspicious, and upwards of
hundred stopped there. The beer tapped
and scenes of disor Ter ensued. Supt. Wrisen-
berg t. legraphed to Deputy Sheriff Lane
helm that his property was surrounded by
mob and in danger, and called for assistance.
At Belleville and Caseyvile the miners were
joined by a. strong Delegation from the miCes
on the Ohio & Mississippi railroad Those
who did not remain ut Confidence, pushed on
to Troy, seven miles from here. and sur
rounded the Brooksde mine, which is the
last one on the Vandalia track. Ii was in
operation yesterday. but on the appearance
of the mob this morning the men struck work.
The superintendent of the Brookside mine
also telegraphed. invoking the aid OF the law.
The situation is critical, and crisis will be
reached tonight.

HOnOring the Brave.

The country is alive with preparations
for the observance Of Memorial Day. In
terest in this patriotic occasion does not
seem 10 abate with the lapse Of Time. Dur
people do not forget the costly sacrifice
by which the nation was sustained in
the struggle with The great rebellion. The
mounds which mark the resting places OF
those who gave their lives tor the preser-
walton of the government are revered by
all loyal citizens. The ground il hallowed
where lie the patriotic dead. The senti-
ment of respect for those who die for
country Is imperishable, therefore we re-
member and honor them. strewing their
graves with flowers and raising monu-
ments Of brass and stone to preserve
their names and commemorate their deeds.
It has been argued by some that Memo
rial Day has a tendency to keep up asper-
ity Of feeling between the North and
South. Time we think il proving that in
correct. Our southern friends respect Us
all The more because we pay due honor to
the heroes who proved their proves on
the battlefield and aiiested their de rotion
to the cause in which they enlisted by dg-
ing for it. They would and should despise
us were we for any trucking policy to con-
sent to abandon the names. deeds and
graves of our soldiers to neglect. Ii is
quite apparent that there is steady decay
between the two sections of the bitterness
engendered by the war and a growing re-
spect on the part of each for the other
that signifies the return at no distant day
ofthe renewal offraternal feelings between
them. In many ways the increase OF good
will appears. We believe there is no rea-
son to doubt that IL foreign invasion should
threaten US the men who fought under
Lee and Jackson would stand by the gov
eminent rs faithfully as those who march
ed under Grant and Sherman.
But the feeling which incites to the
observance of Memorial Day has its
practical as well as sentimental effect.
Thus the young are taught the duty and
reward OF patriotism and prepared in
spirit to stand between their country and
peril even at the sacrifice of life itself.
Patriotism is instructive, but il is also
capable of cultivation. Love of home and
country is born in every human breast,
but it is quickeued and strengthened by
all rites and observances which serve to
keep in respectful remembrance and
glorfy the sacrifices made in its behalf.
Hence Memorial Day has its useful as
well rs its tender and reverential side. for
which it is worthy the notice and support
of even men who are governed largely by
utilitarian ideas.
There aie some questions which yet
occasion irritation between the North and
South, but the breaking up of the solid
democracy which is now going on in the
southern States. and the formation of par
ties there upon practical and living issues
will tend to settle disturbing elements ar
rising from the war and reconstruction.
and create healthier division of political
parties than now exists.

The Tribune says: 1T needs only
casual glance at the republican papers to
discover that the differences which one
year ago appeared certain tn rend the
party in twain are rapidly disappearing
and that the organization is getting into
excellent condition for the National cam.
paign of next year. This does not result
from mere suppression of quarrels for
the sake of keeping the party in power,
but from a profound conviction among the
thinking and intelligent classes, that have
stood by the party in past time. that the
country is safer under republican than
under democratic rule"
