The evils of the recent railroad
mems strikes are illustrated in the
strike OF a number OF school children
in York State. In one of the towns
where a strike took place for fewer
hours of attendance at school in a
day, the mothers of the boys went
to the school house and spanked their
boys. At Troy, York State, on the
morning of the 13tn inst, at the first
ward public school, lot of boys con-
gregated on the side walk and would
not enter the school house unless
one session of four hours a day was
complied with. The key holes and
locks were found filled with mud
and en- entrance was obtained by
breaking the doors The big boys
intimidated the little boys. Police
men were required to preserve order.
There was a strike i'll school In the
eleventh ward. The strikers held
mass meetings and delivered fiery
speeches on the question of the
strike.

northwestern part of the county tell
almost incredible stories of finding
remnants of buildings on their prop
erty, twenty miles distant from the
city, and portions of organs and pi-
amos have been picked up fifteen
miles from the city and brought in
as curiosities. The prairie for miles
northwest of the track of the.cyclone
is full of pieces of plank driven afoot
or more into the ground, which gives
limited idea OF the terrible force
with which they must have been driv-
en- by the wind. The sides of many
of the buildings are pierced with
heavy splinters that tore O hole
through the thick wall only large
enough to protude like pegs. In the
walls OF the other buildings holes
are noticeable that seem to have been
made by cannon balls. Panels have
been torn from doors, and with this
exception the buildings seem to have
been untouched. In other places
window panes have been blown out
and the sash untouched. The walls
of many of the buildings have
blackenedappearance as though they
had been fired and badly smoked. A
boz car was picked up from the track
and blown three blocks and dropped
into q ravine.
The fatal ending of the wedding
party near Rice Station forms one of
the saddest features of the wholesale
destruction of life and property
wrought in this section by Wednes-
day nights cyclone. The party was
assembled at the residence of John
Schulz, farmer, to celebrate the
wedding Of his daughter, Mamie, and
the ceremony was performed about
l o'clock by Rev. Gustavus Smith.
The afternoon was spent in social en-
joyment, and at 4 o'clock the party
gathered about the wedding feast.
1t was happy assemblage of nearly
forty people celebrating the bridal
festivities for the favorite daughter
of the house. The cyclone came,
and in the space of five minutes the
house was converted into kindling
wood and scattered all over the farm.
OF the happy party of few minutes
before ten were dead and many 9th
ers were injured, several of whom
will die. There was not building
left in which the survivors could
care for those not past help. The
bridegroom was killed outright, but
the bride was only injured. The
nsighbors who had escaped the fury
of the cyclone came to the rescue,
and the bodies of the dead were ia
ken to the school house at Rice Sta
ton.

A WESTERN journal puts in the fol
lowing plea for the employment of
lynch law when the case of crime is
a clear one: Eastern moralists who
arc shocked by outbreaks of lynch
law must bear these matters in mind.
These incidents arise from a general
distrust of the efficiency of the ad-
ministration of the law by its regular
agents. A stage coach has been
robbed and faithful guardian of the
mails or the treasure box killed. The
robber is arrested. What shall be
done with himl If he is handed ov-
er to the Sheriff he may escape from
custody, as many do; he may be
tried, and by buying one juryman
may escape conviction and be admit
ed to bail; he may be sent to prison
and pardoned out for good behavior
to renew his depredations. Balanc-
ing these prospects against the ad-
vantages and disadvantages ola short
shrift, many communities think it
best to take the law in their own
hands To well balanced mind the
act cannot be justified; but its mo
tive can easily be understood.

The Philadelphia Times remarks:
Not contented with having had it.
self introduced into public schools,
temperance hygiene is now trying
to invade the family circle in the
shape of game OF cards. 1t is play
ed with two hundred cards, illustrat-
ed with lurid cuts, showing the eff
ects of alchohol upon the Awful Ex-
amples personal department of inter
nal affairs. There is no reason why
this sort of thing should stop here.
The inventive Pennsylvania school
teacher who evolved this new way of
teaching temperance hygiene might
introduce it in the Pittsburg glass
factories. Window glass decorated
with temperance hygiene pictures
might be sold to lots of people who
live next door to saloons and want
to drive the saloons away, and table,
ware similarly adorned might become
popular with temperance advocates.
The railroad companies might be in
duced to paint the sides of one or
more cars with instructive lessons in
liquor physiology, and then the tenn
perance hygiene people could use
those cars when they rode. Tenn
perance hygiene posters could be
used to make the dead walls interest

The Philadelphia Bulletin remarks:
The amendment Just added to the
constitution of Rhode Island prohib
iting the sale of liquor in the State,
creates little CONSERVATION in GER
tain circles. Newport is especially
alarmed, for there is no fashionable
watering place where there is great
er Indulgence in liquors and wines.
There will have to be smuggling OF
liquor by wholesale at Newport if it
is to maintain its glory as the favor
ite resort of wealthy lovers of good
eating and drinking

Now what's to be donel over the
statement that a British and Ger
man syndicate have entered into a
contract with the Mexican Govern
ment, whereby six hundred thousand
Cinnamon are to be colonized in
Mexico. How can that scheme be
prevented from being brought to a
consumation? 1t may do to bring n
few of the almond-eyed Asiatics to
America, but to unload them any
where in the new world by the half
million is sending them faster than
is desirable. 1t must be a scheme
of the bloody British to forestall the
occupancy of Mexico by the people
of the United States. Who is the
man in Congress to edge in the
Monroe doctrine at this important
time.

there is nothing in holding secret
