The blaine. Esdmunds Affair.

Mr.. Blaine is Justly criticised
for his boorish action when approach
ed by Senator Edmunds as common
courtesy demanded on the mournful
occasion that brought them face to
face. Considering the freedom with
which Mr.. Blaine criticises public
men on the stump and in political let
tiers, he could well afford to be civil to
Mr. Edmunds on any public occasion,
and it was especially demanded of
him when they met in a house OF
mourning to pay the last offices Of re-
spect to an ex-President who was gen.
orally beloved. Senator Edmunds is
one of the most respected OF our pub
lie men, and he is most respected be.
cause he is esteemed an honest, con-
scientious statesman. He may wrong
Mr.. Blaine as Mr.. Blaine has wronged
many othersbut when Mr.. Blaine snubl
him in boorish manner by the side o
dead President, the general judg
ment will be that he more than justifi
ed any distrust Senator Edmunds ha,
expressed in his manly qualities

1t is said that dull times are not
known by the agents OF the great pub

the fact that they always give the pub

prices that all can afford At present
we understand their agents are doing
wonderfully well on several new lines,

1t is with sincere regret we record
the death OF Mrs. Sarah H. O'Keefe,
which occurred at her home il Greene
vile on the morning Of the 2eth Of
November at 6 80 O'clock, in the oath
year of her age. She has been in del
icate health for some months, and al
though the worst has been expected
for weeks the shock to the fam
lily and friends when the end came was
none the less severe. For thirty years
Mrs, OKeefe has been faithful men,
Der of the Presbyterian Church, and
her daily walk in life has been that OF
a pure, Christian woman, She is now
reaping the reward of her faithfulness.
Having worshiped Him on earth she
is now dwelling in peace with her
God in that great cathedral OF eterni-
ty, with arches of amethysts, and pill
lars of sapphire, and windows aglow
with the sunshine OF heaven
She has gone to join her husband
Who, many years before,
Left this sincursed earthland
For that bright and glorious shore
Mrs. OKeefe died perhaps without
an enemy on earth, and it can be tru-
| ly said of her, "to know her was to
love her" She bore her affliction
with christian fortitude and for weeks
before her death she was ready to go
and seemed to ask herself
"When shall these eyes thy heayen-bullt walls
And pearly gates behold?
Thy bulwarks with salvation strong
And streets of shining gold
She was conscious to within a few
hours of the last and died as all Chris
tians die, without a struggle, withou
Ipain. Calmly and peacefully sh,
sank into that quiet sleep from whicl
there is no awakening.
Mrs. O'Keefe leaves son and daugh
ter to mourn her loss This has beer

as it were, for the other. We appre
ciate our inability to console the be
reaved children and can only say t
them follow the example set by you

ImpOtent Spleen.

About this time Mr.. Blaine is wish.

the hand, even if he gave it deadly
squeeze. If true as reported, or any
thing like, he made wretched exhi-

Of the dead President. In fact he

"A Couple of Pension Bills on Which
Fight Will be Made.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-The House
Committee on Invalid Pensions has re-
solved TO attempt to pass over the Presi-
dents veto the bill granting pension to
Andrew j. Wilson, of New York, and Mr.
sawyer to-day reported the measure back
10 the House, giving notice that 1t would
be called up tomorrow. 1t appears from
the report of the committee that Wilson
was drafted into the army notwithstand-
ing his allegation that he was suffering
from deafness and an eye complaint. In
the service he contracted rheumatism and
kidney disease, on which he based an ap-
pllcation for a pension.
GROUND OF THE DENIAL.
His application was rejected by the
fensl0n Bureau on the ground that he
was disabled before enlistment which was
also the reason for the veto. The commit
tee take the position that under the cir
cumstances the government is estopped
from setting up claim ofprior disability.
Mr.. Toulbee, who is member of the In
valid Pensions Committee, also reported
Dack the bill granting pension to c. w.
Clller with a recommendation that it be
passed over the Presidents veto. This s
the case OF the Louisville policeman whose
application for pension as a dependent
parent was denied by the Pension Bu-
reau on the ground that the dependency
OF the claimant was not established.

NEW LEAGUE FOR LABOR
COUNCIL NO. L ORGANIZED AT
CHICAGO.

SedalIa's Law and Order League Be
heved TO he the Parent of the New
Body-The Charter Members Repre-
sented as Dissatiahed with Methods
of Mr.. Powderly.
CHICAGO, July 2.-COuncil No. OF the
ConserVators League of America was or
ganized IN this city last evening. The
league is the outgrowth of the present
strained relations between labor and
capital, and she members think the time
has come when some action should be
taken to prevent paralysis OF business
by labor strikes. 1t appears that the
organization is to be composed OF linen
who believe in the supremacy Of the law,
and are willing to join in putting In mo-
tion great moral force to uphold the law
aud conserve alike the rights OF employer
and employed, to protect business from
disorders and from all unlawful interfer-
ence, and TO promote better understand
ing of the true relation OF employer and
empl0ye, maintaining the rights of each
and adjusting their differences" 1t is
proposed TO form branch councils all over
tue country, and to create "a supreme
body that will govern the subordinate or
ganlZatl0ns.
SECRET ORDER.
The league is a secret order, but from
what has been learned it is believed it is
closely allied to the Law and Order
League which originated in Sedalia, Mo.
Regarding the latter organization, several
knights of Labor were interviewed. and
said that inasmuch as the fact of the Or
ganization had become public there was
no use now in denying it, but that of any
OF the inside workings they could not tell
The superintendent of a prominent detec-
tive agency said: "lt is true that there
has been and is an agitation for such an
order. After the failure of Mr.. Powderly
to make bis point with Mr.. Gould in the
strikes on the Gould Southwestern sys-
tenn there were great many Knights who
were dissatisfied, and they withdrew
from the Knights. These men, with men,
bers Of the Legion OF Honor, various la
boring men who had not before belonged
TO any society, numerous railroad engi-
neers and others now form the Law and
Order party. / don't know whether poll.
tics enter into the organization or not, eX-
cept Ia so far as labor is directly con-
cerned. 1t originated at Sedalia, Mo,

The Armed Patrols the only Out
ward Evidence of the Strike.
CHICAGO, July 2.-The usual quiet pre-
vailed In the Lake Shore yards this morn
ing, and nothing but the presence OF a
large Pinkerton force indicated that the
strike was In progress. The company lost
no time in following up the advantage
they gained in the operations at the stock
yards yesterday. Before . O'Clock an en-
CINE and caboose guarded with Pinker.
ton men and police was dispatched
to Packerstown. An hour was
spent in switching on Forty seventh
street with no more serious opposition
than the hoOtlng and yelling of women
and children, who gathered from blocks
around to watch the unusual sight of
train hands working under guard Of
armed men. Switching was going on az
usual In the yards at South Chicago.
There was no opposition whatever OF aOy
kind, and from the indications it seemed
that the strike was at an end.
Judge Collins to-day sentenced Tom f.
Collins 10 jail for thirty days. Collins
was a swtchman for the Lake Shore and

with violating the injunction granted the

Murder Instead OF suicide,

RALEIGH, N. c.. July "A young man
named Monroe Madison, of virginia, was
some time ago found dead in Buncom be
county, in this State. The manner of mis-
death has since remained a mystery, but
it was supposed that he had committed
suicide. Yesterday man and woman
charged with MadisOn's murder were ar.
rested in BuncOmbe ana bound over tor
trial. The woman volunteered evidence
against the man. She says he shot Madi-
son and left the pistol at his side to sug-
gest the idea of suicide. The story is
plausible and may clear up the mystery.
The parties were placed in Jail at Ashe
vile last night.
