IT is amusing to read in Demo-
cratic journals of the unity of their
party on great National issues. Here
are Morrison and Randall at swords
point on the tariff question, and
Senator Beck and others raising
Cain about the Presidents views
on the silver question. Perhaps
these be not leaders nor issuesl

Professionalism Over a Heavy Road

BLooMsBURG, Pa, Jan. 1S.-"Wild
Bill" a noted pedestrian of this
county, ran against time this after
noon for a purse. He was to cover
distance of twenty two miles from
this city to Danvllle and return in
three hours and a half. Without any
training and over heavy road he
made the distance in three hours
and five minutes, thereby winning
the purse. He was heartily cheered
on the streets by hundreds of peo-
pie. A large sum of money changed
hands.

forks. Headed by two broad shoul-
dered women each bearing flag,
they advanced slowly toward the
legal army. The little band of so
marched out and met them half
way. Accompanied by an interpre-
Ter, Sheriff Stewart advanced and
held short parley with the strikers.
He told them he had warrents for
several of their number and deman-
ded that those be surrendered. He
was refused and the mob again ad-
vanced. The opposing forces met
and after short and sharp conflict
in which the Pittsburgh people used
their clubs freely and great many
shots were fred, the mob broke and
fed. One Hungarian was shot in
the shoulder, but with this excep-
tion the list of casualties contained
nothing serious. Fourteen Hungar-
ians were captured and taken to
Jail.
A MAN OF PEACE.
At this juncture, Father Lambing,
pastor of the Scottdale Catholic
church. appeared on the scene and
counseled the strikers to submit to
the law He charged the sheriff
with bad faith. saying that Stewart
bad sent for him to intercede, and
then didn't wait for him to come.
The sheriff said the rioters had ar
rived before the paiest- The police
raided Spring Garden, village at
Standard mines, the same evening
and captured three Hungarians for
whom warrants had been issued.
Coming up the street they were
waylaid By band of strikers who
opened fire on them. The fire was
returned without damage to either
side. All was quiet in the north
end of the region yesterday. Wheth-
er it is merely lull in the storm,
or whether the leading strikers were
absent at the Dunbar meeting can
only be conjectured, of course. Ar
rangements are being made to start
the works in that section as soon
as possible, and another collision is
imminent before the week Is over.
SOUTH OF TIE YouGE.
The mass meeting at Dunbar yes
terday was held in the skating rink
and at one time the crowd would
have numbered 500. The meeting
was called to order by Peter Wise,
president of the organization carry
ing on the strike. To the credit Of
those present, it must be said that,
though enthusiastic, more orderly
set of men never assembled in the
region. During the progress of the
meeting short speeches were made
in several languages. Every speaker
urged the men to organize, as that
was the only method by which they
could ever be successful. The dele
gates appointed at the Scottdale
meeting reported over three-fourths
of the ovens in the region now idle.
The report Of the delegates was re-
ceived with cheers. This business
being settled, the next question was
how to get the balance out. 1t was
finally decided unanimously to form
in line at the close of the meeting

by some means or other.
The strike has crossed the Yoush
river, though it is not so general in
the southern end of the region as it
is in the north. Leisenring came
out on Tuesday, and on Wednesday
the Troiter works came out, but a
portion of them have gone back to
work again. Yesterday mob of
about 500 men went out to West
Leisenring and forced the men to
quit work. The men at the Stewart
works threw down their tools We'd

at Morrell yesterday. The strike at
Stewart is rather surprising. They
have no company store there to COM
plain about, They are paid in cash
every month. The strikers at West
Leisenring Yesterday fred some cars
belonging to the railroad and de-
stroyed some property belonging to
the company, but with this exceD-
tion there has been no acts of vio-
lence in this end Of the region, al
though the operators are expecting
trouble.

Painter and Diamond works of Nc
Clure and Company, where they
sought ont couple of darkies who
had worked that morning after the

drew revolvers when attacked, and
there was a lively scuffle for about
ten minutes in which blood flowed
freely. The negroes were finally
overpowered, however, beaten into q

SToNEv1LLE, Penn. Jan. 20. Tho stu
alton assumed an alarming phase in the
coke region this morning. Three hun
dred strikers, armed with bars, coke
forks and reyolvers, started on their
march and drove the men, from work at
the Alice mines and charged the war
dens. The coke-yard at this place was
fred and the Donnelly mines was Wis
tied. In the melee west of here boy
named Mentzer was terribly beaten and
the yard-boss, named McCabe, was ham.
mered over the head. The oven fronts
were crushed IN. ..A :
The rioters have gone across the coun-
try toward the Rising Sun works, and
the greatest trouble is yet to come. Sat
urday will be pay. day, and on Monday
ten days will have expired since the
notice to quit was given to the 9 strikers,
who are in the company's houses. There
will likely be serious trouble when an
eiectment is attempted. The report
that the governor has been called on for
aid Is untrue. T..
MOUNT PLEASANT, Jan. 2l.-Another
conflict between the officers and the

now out to about 5000. Company c. OF

these and prevail upon the men to join

There are ninety and nine that live and die,
In want and hunger and cold,
That one may revel in luxury,
And be lapp'd in the silkea fold
The ninety and nine in novels bare
The one in a palace with riches rars.

For the fruitage OF mother earth
They dig and delve. In the d!usky mines,
Bringing rich treasures forth.
Aud the wealth released by their sturdy
blows,
To the Golfers of one forever flows.
The sweat OF their brow makes the wilder

The forest before them falls,
Their industry fashioned our thousand

And cities with lordly halls;
But the ninety and nine have empty hands
The one owns cities and homes ard lands!

The glorious dawn shall bring;
When over the land the victor's song
Ofthe ninety and nine shall ring
And the chorus shall echo from zone to zone,

The League Has a Large and Interesting
Meeting In Spite OF the Low
Mercury.

, The regular open meeting of the Rocky
Mountain Social League was held in
McClelland hall, on SUNDAY evening
last, and Notwithstanding the severity
of the weather, the large hall was com!
fortably filed, large number OF women
being present.
The meeting was deeply interesting,
both to members of the League and to
inquirlng visitors. Short addresses were
made by ten of twelve men, all sdvocat-
ing the doctrines of Socialism. A paper
was read by Comrade HYDE, which re-
cited an instance of the cruelty and tyr
amy of the aristocratic class towards
their servants" A well. known lady of
the upper-tendom in this city has acted
in very inhuman manner toward SER
want girl who was recently in her en-
plov, and this was the subject of Com
rade Hyde's paper.
The city government was censured by
several of the speakers for It's failure to
provide for the hundreds out of employ
ment and who were suffering during the
severe weather of the past few weeks,
while at the same time the council was
ppropriating $1,000 to entertain" the
bloated members of the stockgrowers'
convention, soon to meet in this city.
The motto for the evening, upon the
black board, was, "War to the Palace
Peace to the Cottage, and Death to Lux
urious Idleness."
Quite a number signed the roll of
membership during the recess for that
purpose.
To morrow Sunday evening, Rev.
Van Ness will address the Leagle, and
all are invited to be present.. The lesson
will be Surplus Value" and the orator
of the evening will dwell upon this
phase of the Question. Remember the
