WAR IN HOOKING VALLEY.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 20.-The long and
disastrous miners strike in the Hooking
Valley has finally got itself into the
Legislature in the shape Of three propo-
sitions. First, Committee Of lnvesti-
cation to inquire into and report upon
the causes that led 10 the strike. This
was proposed by John Mcbride, mem
Der of the House and President Of the
Miners Union. Second, bill to make 1t
felony, punishable by fine and I'M
prisonment in the penitentiary, for
one or a number of wOrkingmen or
other persons to intimidate or threaten or
prevent any man from working for an IN
dividual or corporation at any price for
his services that he sees mt TO agree TO.
This was introduced by Mr.. Weldy, OF
Hooking. which county has been the
scene of the most lawlessness and de-
struction of property. 3. A Board OF Ar
hitration to settle all disputes between
operators and MS UiS. l"e last was
offered by MIR. GriOner. of Perry, WHICH
county has also suffered severely from the
strike.
The most active preparations for war
are going on among the lawless element,
with scarcely any attempt at conceal
ment. Within the past ten days over
1000 repeating rifles and more than 10000
rounds of fixed ammunition, bought with
the money that charitable people con-
tributed to relieve the restitution OF the
miners wives and children, have been
shipped into the valley and distributed.
Company organizations have been openly
| formed, and battalion drills are announced
| to take place in the very face OF the Leg
| islative Committee. Demag0gues and
towards in the Legislature are afraid TO
serve on the joint committee, and inter-
ceded with the presiding officers OF the
| two houses not to place them on the COM
| mittee. Assistant Adjt. Gen. Dlll, OF
| Gov. HOadly's staff, WAO has been through
| the valley and taken notice of the warllke
preparations, has aroused the Governors
rather somnOlent apprehenslons by his
| report, and all the most reliable State
| troops have been quietly notified to hold
| themselves in readiness to respond upon
| a moments notice.
There are good reasons for believing
| that the worst COmmunlstic leaders OF
New York, Chicago and other cities are
in the Hooking Valley experimenting the
preparations for war, end the uprising is
probably intended to be more far-reaching
than the most apprehensive even yet sus-
pect. If surface indications 90 for any,
thing, and unless there is a sudden
change in the Hooking Valley, it may
safely be predicted that the people of the
whole country will one of these mornings
| be shocked with the details of battles
| fought between the State troops of Ohio
and drilled and Well-equipped army OF
| law-breakers.
Reports come tonight that large num-
| Der of men were seen drilling near Long
streth yesterday. 1t is also reported that
dynamite bomb was exploded at Long
streth tonight, but no damage resulted.

made by the firm to her husband, but it Is
understood that ii has not yet been paid.
THE fulsome and sickening nonsense which
hlls the addresses to the eldest son Of the
Prince of Wales has proved too much for
good many. even of the most sober-toned and
conservative people. One enthusiastic writer
exclaimed that the son should seek his high
est ideal OF virtue in his respected sire. which
must nave been compliment as surprising
TO Albert Edward as to everybody else. The
FHH AdH Gdsette rightly points out the utter
hTpocrlcy OF the whole business in view OF
the postpOnement Of the demand for an an
nu ~ for the young Prince for the perfectly
notorious reason that such a demand would
lead TO fierce opposition in the House Of Com
mons. Even the allowance on which the
Princess Beatrice Is to scrape out an existence
with her penniless German husband will not
pass without some ugly remarks.
ASSISTANT BISHOP HENRY c. POTTER has
made an exceedingly good defense Of his ac-
ton in admitting young man to the Order
of the Holy Cross. His answer to the letter Of
Bishop Lee is a model Of what a controversial
letter should be. and proves. if any proof were
needed. that DR.. Potter is admirably equipped
TO perform the duties OF the high office which
he so a-,eptally els. 1t seems to us that
there has been great deal Of unnecessary
talk about this act of Bishop POtter's. He Is
not going to introduce mOnasticism into the
Episcopal Church, and even If he desired to
DO so he would not be able. The young man
who has just taken vows to labor among the
poor of New Ork is devOting himself to a noble
work. u is a matter of little consequence to
the public in what particular way he binds
himself 10 do this work, 1t is a great pity
that more Young men in all the churches are
not ready to labor thus in the pestilent tene-
ment house districts of New Y Ork.
ONE of the famous New York hatters of his
day was GeniD, who advertised himself in
one way, among many, by paving an enor-
nous price for one Of the first seats at Jenny
Lind's concert on her arrival New \ ork city 30
years ago. relative Of the halter said Of
him recently: "He was full Of daring schemes
and made four fortunes, three of which he
lost. One Of his most successful speculatl0ns
was with the well known Kossuth hat, which
was standard style for years. Genln hired
tug and met the steamer on which kOssuth
aud his companions were to arrive. He went
on board the vessel down the bay and pre-
sented kossuth hat, which he said had been
made in his honor, and which he begged him
to wear in place Of his old one. Similar bats
were distributed among members of Kos
suth's party. The people of New York saw
! the hats as the visitors made their way up
town and furore began. There was only
one manufacturer from whom the goods could
be obtained, and the demand was so great
that the speculative halter, who had thou
sands of the hats stored away, disposed Of his

There appears to be revival at Wash
ingtOn of Cabinet talk. New names nave
been added TO the already large list oil
those spoken of in connection with
places in Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet. A
few weeks ago only Senators Bayard
and Garland were regarded as certain to
be invited to accept portfolios. They are
not talked of so much now. 1t is even
said that Senator Garland was not in
yited to Albany, but that the opportunity
for him to call on Mr.. Cleve-
laud was made by Senator Cor
man. Within the last few days
articles in different papers have appeared
pointing out that the cost of maintaining
an establishment as Secretary of State is
more than Mr.. Bayard can afford. 1t has
also been suggested that Mr.. Bayard
could serve his party better in the Senate
than in the Cabinet. OF course it is i'm
possible 10 discover how much truth
there Is in all Of this gossip, or whether
there is any truth in it at all Assuming
that it has some foundation, it would
| seem as it there is nothing whatever set
| lied with respect to Messrs. Bayard and
Garland.
The air is full of rumOrs respecting
other possible Cabinet officers. The
Northwest and the West each has several
candidates TO propose, and New England
and the Middle States have quite a num-
Der of gentlemen who are hoping that the
Cabinet lightning will strike them. Even
the Pacific Coast has material for Secre-
tary of War in Gen. Rosecrans, and the
District of Columbia presents Richard I.
Merrick for Attorney General.
The South has plenty of men who are
well qualified to manage any one of the
great departments Of the government, but
they are not thrusting themselves, MOI
| allowing themselves to be thrust, into
| prominence as anxious applicants for
! high places. 1t is noticeable that sew
eral Southern men have been mentioned fOl
| POstmaster-General.M Mr.. Money, of Missis-
| sippi. Mr.. Reagan, of Texas, Mr.. Burke
of Louisiana, and Mr.. Barbour, of Vir

country. OF course, a good many more
Southern men have been discussed fOl

been assigned to any particular place
There is no need to hunt far fOI
able men in the South. They are
to be found in every State. We have one
or two in this city who would do credit
to any one of the Cabinet positions, and
if Mr.. Cleveland should determine not To
select his advisers from among those who
are prominent because of their long pub
lie services it would not be surprising if
he should look in this direction for one
Cabinet officer.
However, there is nothing known as tc
what Mr.. Cleveland's intentions are. He
knows how to keep his own counsel. II
is probable that there is no one who has
as yet been admitted to his confidence il
the matter of his Cabinet.

WINNIE REANPS LUCK
Due Primarily to Gen. Sherman's Gal
l8ntry.

Due Primarily to Gen. Sherman's Gal
lantry.
There is no woman, says Washington
letter. who has gotten so much out OF
Congress as Winnie Ream, now Mrs.
Hoxie. She never had any artistic train
ing. She never cOndescended to go
through any form of routine study. She
is as much OF an artist as a musician
would be who plays entirely by ear. Yet
she has gstten out of Congress upward of
$50, 900 at different times for alleged works
of art. Congress has never called in eX-
pert opinion in passing upon any work of
art offered them. When Congress some
wears ago directed that money should be
appropriated to build statue Of Admiral
Farragut, the competition for the
designing of the statue was
thrown open to the world. The
commission appointed to examine the
merits of the models submitted were
Gen. Sherman, who knows no more about
art than an army mule; Lieut.. HoXie, an
army engineer, equally ignorant, and
Mrs Farrs gut. Winnie Ream, of course,
won the vote of Gen. Sherman at once.
She was the only woman among the COM
petitors. The General looked at her and
not at the models and gave her his vote
out of gallantry. Lieut.. Hoxle fell IN
love with her, proposed and was accepted,
and thus became an interested party to
her securing the contract, although THIS
was not known until after the award was
made. Mrs. Farragut was pleased by
the fact that the likeness of the Admiral
was good. 1t is to this gifted board that
we owe to-day the carioature OF the gall
liant old Admiral which stands in Farra-
put Square. and which is known through
out the town as the Big Policeman.

The determination OF the Board of
Health OF New York 10 keep all official
information about contagious diseases
from the newspapers and public in the
future is causing a good deal of indigna-
tiOn in that city. The people of every
city demand full information about all
matters affecting the public interests, and
nothing will tend so much to impair con-
fidence and produce panics as the sup
preston of facts relating to the extent
and treatment of contagious diseases.
The reason given by the board is that
unnecessary alarm is often caused by the
publicity given to cases Of contagious
disease. This appears to be a puerile
reason. IL official information cannot be
had much more alarm will be caused by
the publication of exaggerated rumOrs.
The Sun pithily remarks that "the at
tempt to keep out cholera by preventing
the publication of cholera cases will be
made" 1t will probably not be long be-
fore the New York Board of Health will
have itself reminded OF the alleged habit
of the ostrich of burying its head in the
sand and leaving its more conspicuous
parts exposed to its enemy.

The English in Egypt.

The engagement between = large part
Of the forces Of FL Mahdi and the COM
paratiye!y small division of the English
army under Gen. stewart at the wells OF
Abu klea, ought to convince Fl Mahdi
that it will require something more than
mere numbers 10 arrest the advance of
Gen. WOlseley towards khartOum. The
battle was marked by conspicuous
courage on both sides, and for little
while was sharply contested, but the
Superior discipline and arms Of the Eng
l.sh ere more than sufficient TO over
come the superior force Of the Arabs.
FL Mahdi, having tested the metal OF
the enemy with which he has to deal, will
be more cautious in his movements in the
future. He will not be anxious for an
other battle unless the advantages on his
side are much greater than they were at
the Abu klea wells.
1t may not be too much TO assume,
therefore. that Gen. stewards battle has
practically opened the way to KartOum.

The Government Printing Office.

The Government trimming OIlCt'
Mr.. Rounds finds bis place as Govern
ment Printer very comfortable, and he
would like, doubtless to retain II. In
several OF the newspapers paragraphs
have appeared to the effect that Mr..
Rounds had very strong support among
Democratic Congressman, and that at
the proper time he would be able to show
that the Democratic party could not do
better than to keep him where he is.
In his annual report, which has just
been made public, Mr.. Rounds says that
he only wants $500, GOO for the coming
fiscal wear, although the estimate for the
current fiscal year is $3,0l4,0O OF course
he gives a reason for making a reduction
in the estimated expenses of his office.
He SAYS the office can be run cheaper now,
because be has introduced improved ma
chincry and better business principles.
The thought which naturally arises is,
that if $40, 900 year can be saved by i'm
proved machinery and better business
principles, why didn't he introduce them
several years ago:
Mr.. Rounds need not hope by making a
show Of economy to hold on to his office.
He will have TO 90, and none but his par
ticuIar friends, perhaps, would he able to
give a good reason why he shouldn't go.
There is another reason which might be
offered why Mr.. Rounds tn nks that the
government printing Office could be run
for $34O,OO less next year than it has been
this year. 1t is the belief that
good deal of money has been
used in one way and another for po-
Iitical purposes through that office, and
Mr.. Rounds by cutting down the esti-
mates for next year, hopes to avoid an in
vesti CATION. 1t may be unjust to suggest
that Mr.. Rounds would allow his Office to
be used to help his party, but it must be
admitted that the difference between his
estimate fox expenses of the current year
and next year. is calculated to provoke
inquiry, Notwithstanding his eXplana-
ton,
