MoBBING CHINAMEN.

The white coal miners of Wy
oming Territory are raising dust
around the heels of the Chinese
laborers. Dispatches state that
at the largest coal mines in the
entire Union Pacific system at
Rock Springs, $50 miles west OF
Cheyenne, the company recently
imported large number OF Chi
nese to take the place OF white
men. Last Wednesday afternoon
the entire force Of white miners,
about $50 strong, organized and
armed with shot-guns, marched
to Chinatown. After firing a
volley into the air they reloaded
and ordered the Cinnamon to
leave. The order was obeyed ut
once, the Cinnamon fleeing to
the hills like a drove of sheep,
closely pursued by the miners,
who fired several .olleys at the
fugitives with fatal effect. The
Chinese quarters were then set
on fire, and thirty-nine houses
owned by the company were de-
stroyed with their contents. The
miners next visited the various
min es in the camp, unearthed ali
the Cinnamon ut work therein
and babe them flee TOR their lives.
OF the 400 Cinnamon not one re-
mains. All are in the adjacent
hills heading for Green River,
fourteen miles west. Seven were
killed outright by shots fired by
the miners, and many were
wounded. 1t is said that several
feeble and helpless from disease
persisted in the flames. Sheriff
Young arrived from Green River
on Il special train the evening of
the same day with posse OF
deputies, but was too late TO pre-
vent the mob from carrying out
its plans. The miners quietly
dispersed after making sure of
the departure of the celestials,
and everything became quiet.

WIDENING THE BREACH.

The Presidents Work In Sowing Dissension
i'm the Democratic Ranks.
Washington special to Indianapolis Journal
During the past week the President
has antagonized wo-thirds of the dele
cations and individuals that have called
upon him. First, he started out by re-
calling the appointment of the brother
of Senator Blackburn as Internal
Revenue Collector in Kentucky, be-
cause, when boy, he wrote letter of
the Jesse James Observation-Disclosures or
der, and by revoking this appointment
he not only made an enemy of Senator
Blackburn, but very naturally created
dissatisfaction all over the South. BY

lowed his bad move in Iowa, whereby,

ern district of that State without con-
sulting the delegation in Congress, he
has called forth vigorous protests from
Messrs. Murphy, Fredericks, and
Weaver. George V. N. Lothrop, APP
pointed Minister to Russia, at the re-
quest of Don M. Dickinson, of Detroit,
was not pleasing to the Michigan DEM
ocratic Congressman. They thought
that the President should give their re-
quests some attention, and that, as Mr..
Dickinson represents nobody but him.
self-as they express this recon-
mendation certainly should not count
for more than that of the Congressional
delegation. They do not object to
Lothrop per Sc, but the reason that
they are not satisfied with his appoint
ment is that it lessons the number of
appointments left for them. On the
whole, the week has produced more
than a usual amount of dissatisfaction,
and it begins to look as though the man
of destiny is destined to make enemies
of at least three-fourths of the Demo
cratic party.

Dupcd by the Senators and Representatives
OF Their Own Party.
Washington special
There is q very angry crowd among
the applicants for appointment to the
diplomatic and consular service, and
especially from those hailing from
Southern States. These anxious and
ambitious gentlemen have been here for
several weeks at large expense, and,
so far as they can ascertain, are as far
from the goal of their ambition as upon
the first day of their arrival In Wash
ington. The hesitation and procrasti-
nation of Mr.. Bayard have received the
daily objurgat;ons of these impatient
gentleman, who naturally attribute
their failure to receive appointments to
the head of the State Department.. In
deed, the responsibility for delay has
been charged to the Secretary by the
Senators and Representatives who have
been professedly pushing the claims OF
their respective constituents. 1t would
seem, however, that in very many cases
the Secretary of State is not the real
offender, but that the applicants are
being trifled with by Senators and
members. Instead of urging the ap-
pointment of the gentlemen alluded to,
Senators and Representatives are daily
importuning the Secretary of State and
the President to appoint their own rela-
tives to good places in the foreign serv-
ice, and in several instances they are
known to have been successful.
Thus Senator Vest managed to have
his son sent to Europe. Senator Cock
rell has had his brother-in-law, K. X.
Ewing, made Consul General to the
City of Mexico. Senator Butler, of
South Carolina, has son in the con-
sular service, appointed by President
Arthur, and who he is striving to have
promoted. His brother-in-law has been
appointed Charge d'Affaires to Para
quay and Uruguay. The same Senator
has just had his law partner, Mr.. You
mans, made United States Attorney for
South Carolina. Senator Blackburn
succeeded in having his brother APP
pointed Collector of Internal Revenue,
but, unfortunately for his brother, his
appointment was subsequently can
celed. Other Senators and Represe Mt
atives now here are pushing the claims
of relatives for appointments to the neg
lect of those constituents who are rely
ing upon their Intervention for execu-
tive recognition. OF course. the wants
and desires:of the constituents are made
subordinate to those of the family sela-
ton, and the revelation of this fact is
causing bowls of indignation and elicit
ing VOWS of vengeance from those who
feel that they are being duped to fur
ther the preferment of the relatives of
Congressmmenor those of their wives,
who have few qualifications and no
claims for the places for which they
have been appointed or are b. 1g urged.

Mr.. HENDRICKS has made the Vice
Presidency mere commission-shop for
soliciting patronage. He has patrolled
the Government departments at Wash
ington constantly since the new adj
ministration came into power, filing
applications for Office and begging ap-
pointments for the balance of Demo-
cratic Hoosierdom. IL have a friend
out in Indiana" is said to be his uni
form phraseology in importuning every
body who controls an appointment 10
use it for his benefit. He has APP
preached every foreign Minister who
has been appointed, asking that his
friend out in Indiana" shall be selected
as secretary, clerk, or attendant of the
Legation. He has made himself q
nuisance and scandal, and has brought
the Vice Presidency into disrepute.
He had better follow the example set
by President Wheeler in his time, and
by Mr.. Arthur until he became Presi-
dent. He should go a-fshing.-Er-

The sweet young mother calls
From her ork In the coy kitchen,
With It's dainty whitewashed walls
And grandma leaves her knitting.
And looks for her all around:
But not trace OF baby dear

No patter Of tiny footsteps,
No sign OF IL anywhere.

In perfect fearlessness!
She stretched her little arms down.
But Rover held her fast
And never seemed to mind the kicks

But wagged his tail instead,
To greet the frightened searchers.
