Information from the mining district
of st. Clair county, ILL.,, was that work
was to he resumed Monday, at the Rose
hill mine near West Belleville, but
when the men were about to begin at
five o'clock band of $50 women, wives
and daughters of the strikers, armed
with stout clubs, appeared on the scene,
and after some alteration compelled
the men to desist, and work was not
started. a sheriff's posse was driven
back by the women. Troops were
then brought from East st. Louis. AS
the train halted Colonel Barley ap-
peared upon the platform of the car,
and Deputy Sheriff Anthony jumped
on the platform and with Outstretched
arms shouted to the strikers, some of
whom had started to run when they
saw the soldiers, "Halt. | arrest you
all, in the name of the law" The an
swer was a pistol shot from the ranks
of the strikers 1t struck "A car, break
ing a window. Colonel Barkley an
swered with il revolver shot. No com
mand was given to fire, but, as if the
coloneFs shot was Il signal, the breech-

and again. The mob fled down the
railroad embankment. One man fell
shot through, and others were wound

The Brattleboro Reformer has dis
covered in Putney three boys, Hiram,
John and William, and four girls,
Martha, Sophia, Fanny and Emeline,
whose average age is over eighty and
the youngest of whom can count up
seventy-tive. They all went to school
together in this same district, and have
lived there almost constantly ever since.
The four girls were of two families,
and after their school days were com
pleted, they all but one mated with
neighboring youths, and all but one

their earliest choice, and all within

Public Opinion.
HOME EDUCATION.

Nearly two hundred women of New
York, wives of some of the best-knOwn
citizens, have petitiOned the board of
education to make the teaching of sew
ing to girls between ten and twelve
compulsory in the primary schools. A
plan of teaching accompanies the petit
ton, and provides that after attaining
a certain proficiency the children may
bring their own work. This is step
in the right direction, though it leads
backward to the method employed in
the education of our grandmOtherS.
The tendency of our modern education
is too often away from the home it
trains the brain but does not make
housewives. But as these good women
point out sewing is of much more i'm
pOrtance to the mother of ii poor fami-
ly than arithmetic or geography or
history Springfield Republican.
HARVARD AND BUTLER.
Governor Butler is not profoundly
versed in law of any kind, being mere
ly rather shrewd criminal lawyer,
but he knows rs much law as some of
his predecessors who have received the
degree. 1t may be given to him also,
not on the ground of his own merit at
all, but because a majority of the peo-
pie of Massachusetts have decided him
to he sufficiently versed i'll the laws of
government to be made the chief eX-
ecutive officer of the state.
The trouble they are in now is the
natural outcome of the course pursued,
not only by Harvard but by other
American colleges, of scattering de-
grees right and left without regard to
the merits of the recipients. All the
colleges have combined so to cheaper
and degrade their own degrees that
they no longer mean anything to any
body. This very degree of LII. ID. has
been thrown about so prOmiscuOuSly
that its most deserving pOssessOrs in
variably shrink from using it. Origi-
nally it was given only to teachers of
civil and canon law. Subsequently it
was conferred both here and in Eng
land as an honorary degree upon per
sons who had acquired distinction in
learning or public affairs. From this
later use it has been degraded into an
empty compliment for anybody whom
college wished to tiatter. If Harvard
will improve its present opportunity and
declare that henceforth it will give
no degrees except for merit, either to
governors or anybody else, that begin
ming with Butler it will follow new
policy in future. it will take the first
step in breaking up one of the most
ineXcusable abuses in our college Sys-
tenn New York Tribune.

Singular Accident.

At l1.30 Tuesday morning in Boston
a flag 30 feet in length fell with a
great crash into the Washington street
front of r. II. White & Co.'S. The
street was crowded. 1t struck one of
the Hathorn coaches and crushed in
side. The coach contained but half a
dozen passengers. The pole struck be
tween a gentleman and lady, neither of
whom were seriously hurt. The driver
was thrown to the ground and the
wheels passed over his legs, but with
out breaking the bones. John Rogers
passenger on top was thrown down
without suffering serious injury. In
falling the pole knocked IA piece from
the corner of the building which struck
an old man who was on the sidewalk,
inflieting severe flesh wounds. The
injured were taken to the city hospital
and all will recover

laundering Legislation.

The secretary of state has lately for
warded to all the city and town clerks
of Vermont a formal notification that
section 364 of the revised laws, requir-
ing an annual return of the abstract of
the grand list to his office, was repealed
by the amended tax law passed at the
last session of the legislature-and by
this notification the fact mentioned i
made known for the first time. we
imagine. to the clerks and the people
at large. Hitherto, as is well known,
the clerks have been required to for
ward to the secretary, Immediately af-
ter the completion OF the grand list, a
statement of its footings, and these
have been tabulated and published by
him. The repeal of the requirement in
question Is a most extraordinary pro-
ceeding. 1t leaves the state with no
knowledge whatever of its own valua-
ton. The assessed valuation of each
town is recorded in the town clerks Of
flee, and there it will remain. The re-
turns are not to he collected, and there
is no official way of determining the
valuation of real estate and personal
property and the number of polls with
in the state. Such a condition of af-
fairs exists in no other state of the
Union, and that it should exist in this
state is a disgrace to the common
wealth. And it is not only disgraceful
but ridiculous, that the state should
have no means of ascertaining its own
valuation.

The condition of Prof Parker of
Dartmouth college, who was injured at

feared that his spine is affected
Now it is said that Dartmouth col
lege thought of giving Benjamin F..
Butler an Ii. ID. last year in company
with Senator Bayard, but when the
Delaware gentleman heard the pro-
gram he informed the college authori-
ties that they must choose between him
and Gen. Butler. They did so choose.
High license fails in Minneapolis be-

consequent roar continued, issued the
years licenses at the old figure of

sons, pushed along by the crowd, were
unable to get their change from the
collectors, and many got through free.

the new order of things, there is now,
to say nothing of minor points, no
method whatever of gauging the work
ing of the new tax law. Under the
first two years of the law the figures
furnished by the town clerks and pub
lished by the secretary of state fur
nished convincing proofs Of its efficien-
cy. But now everything is at sea and
no one can form the remotest idea as
to whether or not the law is in success
full working order. By the changes
and additions it made the Legislature
did its best to spoil the law; and what
ever measure of success it may have
had this year is wholly due to the force
of public sentiment and the newspaper
press and the repeal of the law tol

heavy blow at the system which was

He practiced for fourteen years outside

lege from which he was graduated for
a license as the laws of that state re-

him a license on the ground that he vi
olated the rules of medical ethics by
advertising in the newspapers and
travelling from place to place. His
home was in Concord. but he practiced
in all parts of the state. The defence
claimed the censors had no right to
withhold the license because he adver-
tised, that it is not violation of the
state laws nor any law of the medical
society, and that the statute under
which the complaint was made was in
tended to protect the people from
quacks, while the defendant had "a reg

defendant be Internationally discharg-

The ONE MAN WHO CAN VIM
There is one man the republican party
can elect in 1884, and it is doubtful if
there is a second. His name is George
F. EdmUnds, senator from Vermont.
and now virtually vice president of the
United States. Some of the most as
tute of the republican politicians begin
to realize that Edmunds is their only
hope. They do not want him-he is
one of the last men they would select
but they see that it must be he or a
democrat. Edmunds has great ele-
ments of strength. He is clean. and
has never forfeited the respect of hon
est men. He would receive the whole
independent vote. He has never been
especially offensive to the stalwart
wing, being in some sense stalwart
himself. He could unite the par
ty. He could carry New York. No
other candidate can compare with him
for availability. Even his location. in
Il small New England state. ordinarily
an element of weakness, is offset by his
strength i'll New York, for a candidate
must carry that state to he elected.
Should EdmundS he nominated. the
democrats have no man who could
successfully oppose him. His record
is of the highest character for ability
and integrity Boston Herald.

The st;vr-route trial is happily draw
ing to Il close The trial will cost the
government three or four hundred
thousand dollars, and this outlay has
been incurred in the attempt to convict
the men of whom it is alleged that they
hav" stolen millions from the govern
ment. The trial has been protracted
to such an almost interminable length
that little public interest has been
centred in it. The impression is said
to prevail at Washington that there
will be a disagreement of the jury. The
government counsel profess to be conf
dent of conviction. and some Of the
counsel for the defence appear to be
equally confident of acquittal. But
there are two OF three of the latter who
make no secret of the fact that they
will be well content if there is a disa-
greemcnt of the jury. Already there
has been paved Il way for charges of
corruption after the trial shall have
been concluded.
