SHEoL has broke loose in Pulaski at
the Greenwood coal mines aud the dogs Of
war seem about to be let co. Friday after.
noon a mob Of 200 armed men, consisting
mostly of miners. waited on Capt. w. F.
cambridge Of the Mason Foard Co., and
told him that the couvio.s must be sent to
the depot for return to Frankfort in two
hours and a half and the goods aud other
valuables removed from the buildings or
they would proceed to march them thither
themselves and burn the buildings down.
The Capt plrleyed with them while and
they finally consented to give him until Sun
day afternoon TO Gee Governor Knott and the
Legislature and ascertain what could be
done, in the meantime the convicts to be
kept out OF the mines Capt. cambridge
having secured this cessation OF hostilities
started at once for Frankfort, bearing let
ter from State Inspector OF Mines Craig to
the governor, which after stating the trou-
BILE concluded as follows: "There are but
two alternatives: either to issue order by
Sunday for the removal OF the men, or
send a sufficient force of troops by that
time to protect the contractors in their
work and to hold the prisoners. The coun'
ty has not Sheriff at present" Governor
Knott laid the matter at once before the
Legislature, bat that body with its aCcus'
toned pusillanimity adjourned without &C.
ton, after a number of silly motions were
made. The governor thereupon ordered
five companies Of State troops, three from
Louisville, one from Lexington and one
from Bowling Green, to the seat OF war and
they we're soon aboard Of special trains fly
ing thitherward, arriving there Saturday
night. A mob spirit is always to be de-
plored, but as there is no alternative but to
crush il out with the strong arm Of the law,
Gov. Knott's prompt action is to be com.
mended. 1t is exceedingly unfortunate at
this juncture in State affairs that such an
outbreak should occur to increase the al
ready heavy and growing burden Of debt
that menaces the Commonwealth and il
would not surprise US il the enemies OF the
party in power have not encouraged and
FASTENED it, hoping thereby TO gain some
political capital.
The soldiers took quiet possession Of the Il
lamp and no fears Of violence are anticipat-
ID 60 long as they remain. Gen. Castle
man thinks that one company lie sufficient q
o maintain order, 90 he will send the 9TH
II companies home, retaining the Calling '
,un as pacifcstor. There is no danger y
rom the mob 80 long as they see that resist.
nee means death to them, but they are apt
o carry out their threat to drive the con- ''
'icts from the county should all the mill
airy be Withdrawn. IL

that the 81. John democrats could vote in

was that the officers Of the election. who

In Tuesdays paper Of last we referred ia
the statement, uncontrodicted 10 that time
that one Thomas, q misrepresentstive a
Frankfort, had killed his own bill by moving
to table an amendment thereto. We did THU
without any feeling in the matter save thai
of chagrin at the ignorance OF man the
State ia paying to help make her lave, and
were therefore surprised TO receive a very
ungentlemanly letter from Thomas, who il
evidently trying to pose as very.brave man
We rarely notice such letters, convinced az
we are that the writers are usually con-
temptible towards, who would not dare to
use the language they do face TO face with
their adversary. But Thomas seems so
anxious for notoriety as fighter from War
town, that we can not deny him the covet-
ed notice. We do not know him person
ally, but we suspect his most intimate
friends will dispute the statement when we
draw his picture go true to life as follows:
A brainless egotist. wanting in any Of the
qualities necessary to give him the notice
he 90 strongly longs for, as statesman, he
has essayed the part Of the bull-dozer,
though his backbone always forsakes him
when he might make little reputation in
that line, and instead Of the brave man he
would have the world believe him 10 be,
the white feather invariably pops up and
his imagined courage, like Bob Acres
oozss out at the end Of his fingers. He
insulted Representative Will jackson in
the House a.few days ago and when that
gentleman offered to descend to his level
and give him a threshing, he refused to
take advantage Of it, even though q whip
ping from such man would have been
very great honor TO: him. He man
aged afterwards with great difficulty to
screw his courage up to the sticking
point and arming himself told Mr.. Jackson
that be was ready to fight it out. That
who lie not afraid Of a lion
much less a jackal, even though II car
riss gun, promptly responded, but the
members rushed 10 1.-THE rescue, much TO
Thomas delight, and the battle was avert
ID. Several times during the session he
has made himself. iexceedingly offensive,
but his last experience will evidently teach
him le son which he!will profit by. We
had no desire whatever to misrepresent
Thomas, who may be a very good fellow,
and doubtless is in his way to that class Of
people who can admire it, but be lie too
much Of a swapping and snsrling fee to
play the role of ulldog and too much
II an ass to appreciate the ridiculousnes' OF
lis antics.

How immaculate democratic Office
holders must be to meet the expectations
of republicans! Post master General
Villas has forfeited his position for deliv-
ering one campaign speech, while under
republican administrations every cabinet
officer who could talk was out working
tooth and nail for his party. "Col."
Dudley quit all official business for
months before tue presidential election
aud put in his whole time in campaign
ing Notwithstanding he was government
officer. But the republicans say the
pretentions of the democratic party are
what makes the thing improper. Was
there ever time in which United States
officers took less part in political cam
paigns2 And do republicans forget Hayes
civil service order and what came of it?
Cleveland has done great deal to
prevent United States officers from being
active in political campaigns. If he
needs to make e change it is to throw
out every Office holder who has refused
to aid his party. The people are not
prepared for civil service reform. They
do not seem to want it and it should not
be forced upon them. Republicans
should be given cause to howl until ex-
haustion compels them 10 stop. The
Pilot never before advocated change.
Now it is for turning the rascals ont
root and branch.

NEVER was man elected to congress
who can, consistently with the influences
which secured his election, act with more
independence than can RichardGuenther.
People chose him without reference to
party and he was commended to demo-
Gratis by the independence he manifested
during his last year in congress. MIR.
Guenther has shown his ability to rise
above party when the occasion demands
it; the people of the Second district have
expressed their confidence in his inclina
ton to do so in the future and he must
not disappoint them. He has gained
more honors by his independence than
he has by his devotion to party and the
times are ripe for further manifestation
of that spirit. Mr.. Guenther lost many
republican votes in the Second district
because he chose at times to antagonize
his party. But his triumph compensated
him for the loss of prestige in republican
circles. With the record he has made it
is superfuous to remind him of the op-
portunities lost by Angus Cameron who
could not rise above petty partisanship
ct the earnest solicitations of the people
of the state. Independence in politics is
sweeping on and Mr.. Guenther is on the
topmost crest if he chooses to maintain
his position.

If you need a stove, either Heating or
Cooking, where will you buy it2 Buy it
of the Wagner Hardware Co., which
are selling $4,000 worth of Bankrupt
Stoves which they have bought at almost
gift and will sell them at cost to make
things lively. Remember the Factory
which made these stoves has not failed
but is running in full blast and is one
of the largest stove factories in the world.
Every stove is warranted for one year.
We were asked why we buy so many
stoves when we are selling out. We
must say that we take advantage of all
such snaps as we certainly can not get
left on them, if it takes ten years longer
to close out, and Furthermore we can
afford to work for glory while longer,
and whose benefit is it but our customers.
