The Striking Miners.

ST. LOUIS, June 3.-The striking coal
miners in st. Clair county, Ill, held
meeting at Belleville to-day and listened
to speeches from two or three labol agita-
tors, but transacted no business looking
toward settlement of difficulties existing
between them and the mine operators.
The executive committee of the Miners
union had a meeting this afternoon and
appointed delegates to conference to be
held tomorrow between some hand mine
owners,a com mittee of the Belleville board
of trade and the strikers. The machine
mine operators say they will have nothing
whatever to do with affairs between the
hand owners and strikers, that they intend
to operate their mines entirely independ-
ent of any other mines, and cannot be
dragged into the pending controversy. As
the strikers demand price of digging
which IS considerably higher than the wa
ges being paid by the machine mines
there seems to be no prospect of a speedy
settlement of the existing troubles.

Mr.. Egan prefaced his remarks with the
statement that he did not expect public
demonstration in st. Paul, and had stated
to its prominent citizens that he did not
desire one. Yet he was grateful for this
kindly reception, but more for it's honor to
to the Irish cause, than to a ny merit of
his own.
He would t-y to state concisely what
were the active movements on the other
side, what had already been accomplished,
what was now doing, and what it was
hoped to achieve in the future. He was
not public speaker but worker, and had
filed another role than that of a plat
form orator.

crushed the spirit out of an unfortunate
people.
The league had already wrought great
change, had taught these people the power
of combination, and tonight they were
living for higher purpose than landlord
servitude. 1t had also taught
them patience in concerted action and
habits of temperance. The speaker here
cited the fact that he had witnessed gath
erings of these people about the platforms
of the league meetings to the number of
from 10000 to 10000 strong, where they
would remain standing and listening for
the space of three or fopr hours in the

RESOLUTIONS:

RESOLUTIONS:
WHEREAS, the manifest result of the un-
natural and immoral presence of British
dominion in Ireland, is the destruction of
the most sacred rights upon which liberty
IN any land is maintained, by it the peo-
pie of Ireland are outraged in their homes
their property and their persons, the ines
timaole rights of free speech and Impair
tial trial by jury Is denied them, and the
most barbarous coercion laws are enacted
and enforced for their destruction and ex-
patriaUion, and
WHEREAS, in the name of justice and
humanity the Irish people appeal to the
world to succor them against a cruel and
barbarous foe, therefor, be it
ReSotUed, That we do most earnestly
sympathize with the Irish people in their
struggle against our common enemy, and
that we most heartily endorse the platform
and principles Of the Irish National league.
and pledge our moral and manual support
in establishing national self government in
Ireland.
Resolred, That we deem it the sacred
duty of the Irish race throughout the world
to testify their gratitude to our great ma

W SOhOLOuo OOAbIlOu-
tlons to the testimonial to tAe O'Conr ell
of our day, Chas. Stuart Parnell.
ReSoLred, That we do most cordially
welcome to Minnesota the man who, by his
exalted private character and his un-
swerving fidelity in discharging an i'm
portant public trust, has earned the en-
nifty of England and the gratitude of the
Irish race, the late treasurer of the Irish
National Land league, Patrick Egan.
RESOLVED, That we receive Mr.. Egan as
the envoy of an oppressed nation to a
free people, and we empower him to con-
vey to the people of Ireland our great
solicituds for their welfare and earnest
encouragement to stand firm for the pol
icy they have adopted. We say to them:
''Strike till the last armed foe expires;
Strike for your affairs and your fires;
Strike for the green graves of your sires;

and dishes, such as Christmas rolls,
cakes, currant-loaves, dumplings,
&c. Thus, Christmas became q uni
versal social festival for young and
old, high and low, rs no other
Christmas festival could have be-
come.
But Christmas is also the last fes-
tival in the year; and, apart from
the sanctity that attaches to it as n
regular church festival, and as COM
memorative of the birth of Christ,
it signaliEes the suspension of labor
and a casting up of the accounts for
the year. We can now pause and
take a retrospect backward
glance over the field, count the mis-
takes, sum up the losses, compute
the gains, and ascertain the progress
we have made intellectually, social
ly, and morally,-ihdividually and
collectively. And in this retrospect
The GAZETTE has much reason to
congratulate itself, and the commu-
nifty in which il circulates. The
past year has been, altogether, n
year of prosperity with US, and with
MorristOwn and the surrounding
county. The smallpox visitation
last winter and spring was a severe
blow to our town-and checked very
much the wonderful tide of i'm
provement which was inaugurated
last year but, with the disappear
ance of the disease business revived,
eur people recovered their wonted
spirit OF enterprise, houses began to
DO erected in all parts of town; the
stranger, who stopped to admire be-
came a citizen, and activity, push,
and progress have been the charac-
teristies of eur people ever since. A
plentiful harvest has blessed the la
bors of our farmers, and the outlook
is promising for the future. With
in the last year quite a number of
persons from the North and East,
and from Virginia, have purchased
farms in the county, and will bring
with them a knowledge of improv-
ed methods of agriculture to benefit
our citizens. The prospect for a
development of our vast mineral re-
sources is encouraging. Our schools
have been greatly improved, and
the attendance largely increased,
and our churches dispense the Cos
pol in it's purity. In all our beauti-
full land there are none who want
for bread The hOarse cry of the
tax-gathcrer wakes no discordant
echoes in the widows humble home.
We have indeed much to be thank
full for-much TO rejoice over. So,
in pleasing anticipation of n more
prosperous year in store for us all,
THE GAZETTE, in the fullness of a
born of a profound feeling
Of good will toward all men," ex-
tends to its many readers and pa
irons a sincere wish that all may
enjoy a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND a
HAPPY NEw YEAR.

day. All nations, from time imme-

epoch; and, rs the day set apart
for the Observance Of the anniver-

What can it mean? After claim
ing a victory in the election OF Mr..
Carlisle for speaker, the free-traders
are suddenly turning upon their
track and making much haste to-
ward the very protection poiicy
which their late opponents have all
along been advocating. We have
not understood Mr.. Randall even to
demand more protection than need
ed revenue, judiciously adjusted,
would afford. Why then all this
denunciatien ofhis school, ifthe late
free-traders can accept his views
The Courier Journal, the head and
front of the Southern free-trade
heresy, now claims that doctrine to
be an absurdity and its accomplish
ment an impossibility. We have ii
upon no less authority than that OF
the Nashville American that this
same journal, no later than last
March, was commanding all Demo
Gratis, who could not accept its Free
trade views, to get out of the party.
The American alleges that the
Louisville paper then said that, at
was a free trade party or it was
nothing" While now, even in this
month, the same paper says that
"no responsible Democrat anywhere
is talking about free-trade,' that
"free-trade is chimerical." The
New York World is taking the
same back ground as the Courier
JOurn I, on tariff revision. Recent
ly, in leading editorial, it said
that, at is arrant nonsense to talk
about free trade when a tariff is
needed under any circumstances for
the support of the government, and
when a tariff carries with it incl
dental protection" Also, that "both
political parties are for protection. "
And again, "the free-trade cry is an
absurd, transparent humbug." Con-
trasted with utterances from the same
quarter, not long since, these latest
seem curious, if not comical. We
again inquire: What does it mean !?
Have they recognized the fact that
they bit off a morsel considerable
larger than they could chew?

THE FIRST BREAK.

The first break in the Democrat,
free trade line comes from Virginia
backed by the thirty thousand Dem
ocratic majority over Malone, in the
emphatic declaration of her Legis.
lature in favor of the entire repeal
of all internal revenue laws and the
abolition of the whole oppressive
and costly system.
This is the first formal response
from any Democratic State to the
proposed Democratic departure in
favor of maintaining internal reven-
ne taxes, to excuse the reduction OF
Tariff duties practically to the Free
Trade standard. 1t snaps an i'm
portant link in the Free Trade pro-
gramme, and throws out a Demo
cratic danger signal that any wise
leader will respect.
This Virginia break in the Dem
ocratio line is not thoughtless acct
dent. 1t has been made while look
ing the fact in the face that those
who have organized the Democratic
House proclaim a different policy,
and it is a protest considerably
uttered against Democratic suicide.
For ten years the Democrats have
earnestly protested against the pro-
fligate Internal Revenue system. 1t
has been the fountain of the most
oppressive wrongs to the South. As
late as two years ago, only here and
there could an isolated Democrat
be found who was not for the absolute
and unconditional abolition of the
whole internal tax and Its gatherers,
and they were recognized as the spe-
cial champions of the whisky com-
bination that was struggling to as
sert its supremacy over the govern
ment.
What Virginia has declared
even against the proposed new
Democratic departure, is what all
the Southern States, except Ken
lucky, believe, and what most OF
them will declare when occasion
demands a delIverance. They want
no more swarms of special agents,
political spies, etc, and
they want to be able to sell the pro-
duet of their soil in open market,
instead of the arbitrary restrictions
which forbid tie sale of tobacco to
any but purchaser licensed by the
government. The whole Internal
Revenue system is a monstrous
wrong in times of peace, it is costly,
iemoralizing and needless, and it
