A Striker Stricken.

In yesterdays Ne,os it was published that
P. D. Davis, master workman of the
Knights of Labor assembly at Pacific, No.,
had been sentenced totwo years in the State
penitentiary and to pay a fine of $500 by
the Circuit Court of Franklin county, at
Union, Mo-. He was leader in the late
Southwestern strike, and was arrested for
attempting to wreck the first freight train
that left st. Louis during the strike on March
"a, and shooting at the guards.
This should be a warning to any hot
headed Knights of Labor. As long as they
observe the law and keep within moderation
they will be sustained, but whenever they
allow themselves to be led into excuses and
to engage in acts of violence they will cut
themselves loose from public sympathy and
incur the penalties of the law. The work.
ingmen have a perfect right to organize for
their mutual protection and to advance their
interests in all proper modes. But when
they come to interfering with the rights
and interests of others, and when they re-
sort to force and violence for carrying their
points they will find that they have made
mistake and only brought trouble on them
selves. We are the friend of the working
men, but we support them only in the
right. When they run into such excuses
as have characterised some of their acts
within the past few months we have no
apology to make for them. Their organic
atoms may be promotive of good by direct
ing them wisely and keeping them under
proper restraint. They will do much harm
if they allow fanatics, cranks, Or anarchists
to control them. This Mr.. P. D. Davis
has found out to his sorrow, and more of
them will do so if they follow his pernicious
example. If the workingmen will follow
sine lead of Mr.. Powderly they will be very
apt to go right. He is cool, level-headed
and discreet, and is one whom they may
trust. If they disregard his counsels for
those of a dangerous leader such as Martin
Irons they will bring only trouble on them
selves and the country. -Lynchburg Neaus.

The National Unity.

Intestine strife in our land left its natural
results-deplorable dissensions- with
them there rem aimed from the relations OF
past union national sentiments, though
weak in some respects, nevertheless strong
in others. They struggled long for recognl-
ton and supremacy amid the clashing ell
ements. Faction controlled legislation and
subdued administrations, but still the hope
of again seeing united country lived in all
it's sections. The efforts for restored union
which would discard all sectional feeling
between the people of the whole country
have gradually gained victory. It leaves
behind low ambition in moving forward
1t invites the States and their citizens to
occupy equal relations in power and infiu-
ence in all departments of the general gov
eminent. The country is becoming Amer
icanized. The attainment of that position
in its new career, is the harbinger of frater-
nal unity. Those who have brought it
thus far on in the way of the fathers are
entitled to the same gratitude and the same
reverence which after time will. bestow on
the men who can declare that the last spark
of discord has died out.
The commerce of our country is a power
full agency in strengthening its unity, and,
in its legitimate workings, has just made
long stride in fraternal and prosperous
progress. The plans in view, when the con-
struction of railroads commenced, were To-
cal. Some were for Northern development,
and some for Southern, whilst others had
only the opening West for field in limits
The domestic institutions of the people in
these localities were dissimilar, and it was
thought this new progress should only aim
to follow in such channels. One gauge of
track was adopted for the North, whilst the
South mainly, after general effort for
building such lines, adopted another. The
systems of the North and Northwest, the
first to span the continent, became the
standard in width between rails. The
South has just accepted that standard for
all her lines, and now all breaks of connec-
ton disappear under the united national
system.
The union of railroad transportation ia
cilities secures the accomplishment of es-
sential features in the growth of commerce
and for widening development, and exer-
cies controlling power in cementing fra
ternal relations between the people of the
whole country. 1t cost the South millions
of dollars to change fifteen thousand miles
of track and an immense amount of rolling
stock, but it was done cheerfully-indeed,
with enthusiasm-that she might assume
her proper relations in these respects to the
whole country. Her SONS recognize and
claim brotherhood with the men of the
North who have come with their capital
and their energies to open up our land and
our resources. These are powerful agen-
cies in making great people one in mind
and one in heart. They secure and perpet;
uate peace and prosperity, and these i'm
plant the spirit Of unity over the whole
country.

In The NORTH OF IRELAND.-The Irish
Catholics used to be charged with mo-
nopoly of "outrages." and there is no doubt
that many cruel and violent acts were per-
formed in the South of that Island; but the
Protestant North is taking a hand in this
business just now with vehemence and
lawlessness that is amazing to remote oD-
servers. The Orangemen seem to be as
hard to control as any other set az Her
Majesty's subjects could well be; and at
last accounts were arming to "revengeV
themselves on the police. These custodians
of law and order are the servants of the
Queen, and are backed by the troops, SO
that the loyalists are in an attitude which
looks very like rebellion. At this juncture
we are glad to see that the leaders of the
ssNational' party insist on moderation on
the part of their people, and we hope that
their wise advice will be followed without
fatering. Norfolk Landmark.

REsTonEp FROM THE GRAvE.-Yozed

RESTORED FROM THE GRAvE.-I'oledo,
June 10.-A most remarkable case of sus-
pended animation has just been brought to
light in this city. Two years ago Hugh
Mcintyre, young man living in Detroit,
married daughter of Mrs. Cunningham,
who resides in this city. A few days ago
he died. His remains were placed in a
vault temporarily, at Detroit. Eight days
after his death an uncle visited the vault
with the intention of removing the body to
the cemetery, and was Mortified to see the
young man sitting upin his coffin, the glass
broken. Young Mcintyre was very weak
and pale; his hands were laceratcd and
bleeding, but he was still alive. He was
taken at once to this city. His wife was
terribly frightened, but was delighted to see
him after having mourned him as dead.
The family are very superstitious, and have
kept the case quiet, although they admitted
the truth Of this report to correspondent

A NEW FURNACE AT Low MOOR.-Last
week We mentioned that a rumor was afoat
to the effect that the Low Moor Iron Com
pany was about to erect new furnace
Since that time we have been informed by
those who know that it is not rumor but
fact-a new furnace is to be built at once.
A sufficient quantity of fine brick has been
ordered to be used in the erection of the
new furnace and to line the old one. The
brick-makers at Low Moor have also been
put to work making the common brick ne
cessary for the new structure. This is a
gratifying evidence of the success of the
Low Moor furnace, which success is due to
the splendid management of COL Goodwin
and Major Shedding, and the competent
corps of employees under them. We uu-
derstand that the new furnace will be su-
perior to the DID, and that the work of build
ing will be begun during the present
month Clifton Forge Independent.

The South, it says, is attending to its own

Mrs. CLEvELAND's TITLE.-A pretty

ident Cleveland, thea in Paris completing
her rousseau. The young lady was the
object Of many marks of distinction, the
high aristocracy surrounded her, and there
was much talk of her position. One lady,
the daughter-in-law of the Duchess de Per-
signy, condoled with Miss Folsom because
she would have no title as the wife of Re-
publican President. CAL would be well,
only you will have no title," said she; ''you
will only be called Mrs Cleveland" "But
that name is only for strangers" was the
answer of the fair American; ''the Presi-
dent has for intimacy conferred upon me a
very particular title" Everybody looked
up curiously, and, blushing deeply, Miss
Folsom added, Gle calls me-his darling.
Can wife desire better title?" The
hostess embraced her amiable guest. re-
marking, ''You are right, and you appear
to me as if you would keep the title to the
end of your life.'

This is distinctly reform upon which

the fact that the cholera reports given to the

ports concerning the ravages Of the disease
received from Venice by the authorities of

age of 20 new cases and 10 deaths. The
information of the Bureau is that the daily
average for the two weeks ending June 6
was al new cases and % deaths, and that
on one day in that period the record was 81
new cases and sc deaths. The death rate
is therefore over so per cent. 1t is also
stated that the disease is spreading to points
on the Austrian frontier which are connect
ed with Venice by railway. There is a
difference of opinion among medical men
as to whether the cholera will reach this
country during the summer, but there's no
room for doubt that it would be safest for
all of our cities to ''clean up.''-Richmond
