The MERE fact that q man joins the

fable than many actions of, at least some,

the strike will continue.
FORT WORTH, Tex, April Most ofthe

Pacific road That road has full compile

that fact They are hungry and desperate.

mount the engine, but was knocked down
with the bntt end of six shooter in the

told to stand back, the officers threatening
to shoot the first striker who approached tho

THE SHERIFF of st. Clair county, Illinois,
in dispatch to the Governor of that State,
referring to the outrages Of some OF the
railroad strikers, says: "The strikers seem
to have strong regard for the United
States, but none for the State" This is by
no means the only, or the strongest, evil
denoe of the complete eradication of the
idea of State rights from the minds of a
large portion of the people of the country.
1t is probably the knowledge of this fact
that induces Senator Logan, from the same
State, to urge the increased efficiency of the
II. s. army.

Tho Recent Riots.

New YORK, Feb. I4.-The Tines
London cablegram says London finds
it difficult, in these closing days of the
week, to lay hold of words forcible
enough to characterize its own idiocy
from Tuesday down to Thursday
Mondays riot was merely some of Guy
Fawkes ruffianism on big scale. By
Wednesday the excitement grew until
the people were wild with frenzy. The
papers came out with faring reports
that an army of rioters were march
ing on London from Greenwich. The
police utterly lost their heads and went
about warning the shop men to put up
their shutters. There were sixty miles
of shops closed, and business, amount
ing in the aggregate to millions, was
suspended. On Thursday the fog lift
ed and the people began TO compare
notes, They found that there had
been no riot and no attempt at riot.
-Four millions Of people had gone into
Mysteries over the sheerest concoctions
of fancy that ever scared boy passing
graveyard in the dark. The rioting
at Leicester, however, is really grave
sign Of the existing distress. There
was no plundering whatever. There
is fear that this riot may spread to
Nottingham, Birmingham and Lanca-
shire. There are enough of the un-
employed there to sack the town if
they choose to do SO, but their posi-
BILE movements are not to be confound-
ed with the operations of lawless Grim
inals, much less with the professional
agitation of handful of Socialists.
New YORK, Feb. IA cablegram

sight, yet several points require notice.
The Ministry, which has been for a
fortnight in progress of formation, is
still incomplete. Gladstone has expert
enced many vexatious and repeated re-
fusals from his followers. Difficulties
were continually raised by the Queen,
several nominations were abandoned,
and some of the highest ministerial
posts in the royal household are going

PERHAPS but few people are aware
that DR.. Schliemann, the great arche-
ologist, who has exhumed ancient
Troy and Mycene, is an American citi-
zen. Such, however, is the fact. When
California was admitted into the Union
in 1883, DIR. Schliemann was a resident
of the territory and consequently be-
came an American citizen. After many
years Of toll the Doctor smassed a
large fortune in trade and Immediately
proceeded to carry out his cherished
designs, which he has so successfully
accomplished that Time shall never
doubt earth's Troy" DR. Schliemann's
present income, from the articles dug
up from the grave Of the ancient world,
amounts to over $4,000 year Not
withstanding DR.. Schliemann's classic
surroundings, his beautiful Greek wife
and his children, and lis accumulation
OF real property DER the Persian's
grave he still takes occasion to assert
that he is "ptoud of the fact that he is
an American citizen"
