tobacco is levied enthe qu1ntal, without regard
TO the quality or price of the article, thereby
establishing detrimental surcharge on cheap

Nnt had no trouble with the strik-
ing miners. About 100 of Pinkerton's
police are now on duty about the mines to
guard the workmen, and the operators expect t
have all their men at work tomorrow morning
The striking miners look with much
disfayor on the presence of the police,
and soon after they went on duty the
miners telegraphed Governor Headly,
asking him to order out State troops to protect
citizens from the Chicago sharpshooters, or
issue an order compelling them to lay down
their arms. A message of similar char
Rcter was also sent from New Straitsville
Others having been sent from NelsonviAe The
Governor replied that he could not order out
troups until there had been some bDisterous
demonstration, which he hoped could be axerted
No arrests have heen made but the miners have
taken legal advice, with the hope OF having the
police disarmed
A mass meeting of miners was held this after
noon, at which they agreed to go to work in
Rends q Hayden's mines at seventy cents if the
union would allow them to do SO. This is in
opposition to the orders of the district meeting

appointed to visit Shawnee. NelsouVille and

places wonid permit them to 60 to work ON the
ambitions named. The operators state that

WASHINGTON, July 14.-One of the most en-
couraging symptoms of the financial stability of
the country generally, and of the metropolis in
particular, is the showing made by the asso-
ciated banks of New York in their weekly state
ment issued last Saturday. A few weeks ago
great deal of alarm was created IN monetary
circles because of the fact that these weekly
statements had for some time continued to show
that the reserve fund held by the associa-
ton was very much less than the
amount required by law. 1t was
urged by the press that the Treasury officials
ought to take the matter in hand and compel an
enforcement of the law relating to the reserve
fund. Whether or not this general feeling of
uneasiness exhibited through the press had any
thing to do with the changed condition Of affairs
is not known, but the banks have at least ae-
coded to the popular demand and the statement
of last Saturday shows that the total reserve

Grahamis negligent manner of discharging this
duty enabled Brnggman, as a member of the

stamps, to steal those which were found IN his
possession The Postmaster general therefore
required Graham to resign, which he did
